I've watched Thor Ragnarök twice. First on October 27 and later. I wanted to write this sooner but midterms came crushing down. So I might be remembering the dialoges wrong. Bear with me please. Even before watching the movie, I've had this theory and I still do. This is what I think will happen after Ragnarök and before Avengers Infinity War.

Hela is Lady Death of MCU, the one that Thanos has crush on and the reason why he wants to kill everyone.

Why I think this?

We didn't see Hela much in Ragnarök and we see someone who resembles Lady Death just 2 movies before the ultimate movie, Avengers Infinity War. If you watched the movie, you would notice how strong she is. She survived the biggest lightning bolt in the history of lighting bolts, broke Mjölnir like a piece of glass, stabbed a couple times and she was hella fine (get it ;). And she teleported to Norway from Hel when Odin died and also she revived dead soldiers and Fenris with eternal flame. Eternal flame doesn't distinguish ever. At the end we didn't see her death. We saw Surtur, who btw got attacked by Hulk and had a crack on his crown after Hulk-smash, swinging toward Hela into Asgard's core but we didn't actually see her die. They showed Hela for a second then Surtur doing his thing.

1. She teleported in last second before the sword came to her. There is a light just before sword hits where she stood but after the hit there is no sign of a body. Watch that scene 0.25 speed on youtube. You'll see.

2. She is Goddess of Death. Can you even kill Death?

3. the crack on Surtur's crown weakened him and Hela didn't die.

4. Eternal Flame is still on Asgard, well it's in Asgard's ruins and Hela is there too. She can be resurrected.

If you want further proof, write Thanos and Hela unworthy Thor to google and look at the pictures you will see. Now after a long intro, here is the story.

Place and date

Thoughts

Lastly INFINITY WAR TRAILER! I don't know how many times I watched it but I know memorized every single dialoge. I will watch it again! The trailer gave me the energy to finish this.

Asgard

This wasn't what Hela imagined how her day would go. Was it too much to ask when I want to conquer all realms? She thought before going into surface but she felt something. Surtur. So that sorry-excuse of brothers want Ragnarök, kill all the Gods, kill ME? Hela summoned all her powers and pushed toward the surface. The land formed under her feet. She used all her strength and threw everything she got at Surtur. As she was trying to stop Surtur, the green giant with Thor, the killer of her beloved Fenris, jumped and hit Surtur's crown. She noticed the crack it caused and this pushed her limits.

Surtur was happy and annoyed at the same time. He was fulfilling his destiny and the Goddess of Death was stabbing him pieces of land. He had enough and he swang the Twilight Sword onto his attacker.

Nooooo! Hela thought. I'm the Goddess of Death. I won't be killed. She tried to teleport herself before the sword reached her. If only she did this sooner, she could have escaped but she failed for the first time after her imprisonment. Everything tuned to ashes before blowing up with Hela in Asgard.

Space ship

It was hard for Thor to watch his home turn to ashes but he needed to stay strong for his people. Asgard is not a place, it's people. This was the thing that gave him strenght. He had a destination at his mind. Earth was the perfect place for Asgardians and other aliens. Midgardians weren't hostile, they would welcome his people with open arms. After all Thor was an Avenger and who doesn't love the Avengers, Earth's mightiest heroes. (Imagine Thor on Earth not knowing Civil War J)

Even though he and others knew where they would go, he asked anyway after the big explosion of Asgard and Korg's comment about it. "What do you think Miek?" Thor didn't want Miek to think he ignored him.

"Oh Miek is dead. I accidently stepped on it during the fight." Miek shrieked. "Oh never mind he is alive." Korg said happily.

Thor looked forward and said their destination, not wanting get any more involved the thing going on between Korg and Miek. "Earth it is." He leaned back his chair while Valkyrie entered the coordinates of Earth.

Asgard's Ruins

After he heard about Odin's death and the Asgard's annihilation, Thanos didn't waste any time to go where Asgard once been and get the Space Stone. Before Gamora's and Nebula's betrayal, he would send his daughters to do the deed but they turned out to be traitors. Infinity Stones have been showing up recently and he couldn't wait any longer now that the protector of 9 realms, Odin, died. He summoned his Black Order and ordered one of his many servants to prepare his ship. Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Black Dwarf and Ebony Maw came as soon as they could. It was unfortunate that Supergiant got killed before his conquest but if she got herself killed, she wouldn't be worthy of being a part of Thanos' Black Order. They kneeled before Thanos. Thanos talked before they ask anything. "It is time. We are going to visit Asgard and take The Space Stone then Corvus and Proxima will go to Earth and take The Mind Stone and The Time Stone. Dwarf, Maw, you will go to Xandar and bring me The Power Stone. I will take care of the rest of the stones myself." Thanos dismissed them and they went to his ship while Thanos fetched his Infinity Gaunlet.

They arrived the place where Asgard should have been, Thanos ordered his minions to search for The Space Stone. Black Order got out of the ship and started looking for it while Thanos watched the horizon. Ah there is The Eternal Flame, nothing compared to an infinity stone. Thanos thought himself while he waited his Black Order to arrive. And then they came but they did not bring the infinity stone instead they brought a body, a woman. "The Space Stone is not here, sire." Ebony Maw said after kneeling in front of Thanos. "We found her floating in the space. Not a stretch on her. We thought…"

His words got cut with Thanos gripping his neck. "ENOUGH! If you cannot accomplish a simple task as this, what use you are to me? Perhaps you think betrayal of my daughters left me merciful. You would be wrong." The others stood on their own ground. They knew they would share the same fate as Maw if Thanos were to interrupted. Their punishment would only become much worse.

Maw begged for his life. "My Lord, forgive your Black Order for our mistake. Let us bring The Flame to us, sire. It can be of use." With that Thanos let him go. The Black Order bowed and went to take The Eternal Flame.

While his order were bringing the flame to his ship, Thanos inspected the body they previously brought. She reminded him the pathetic God he met a few years ago with her black hair coming out of her headdress and over use of green attire. He was yet to give him his punishment for failing him to bring Space Stone and return Mind Stone to him. He didn't need a dead body on his when conquering whole universe.

Black Order came with Eternal Flame contained in a vessel. They kneeled before their lord. Corvus Glaive held the Eternal Flame. "Your Black Order brought you the Flame." Thanos, who was standing next to the woman's body, nudged his head that indicated Corvus to bring the Flame to him.

Just as the Flame came closer to Thanos, the Flame broke its container and rushed to the lying woman's body, covering her with it. Thanos took a few steps back, not understanding what's going on as the Flame turned to green color and became larger and brighter. Everyone in the covered their eyes. As the brightness faded, they opened their eyes and prepared to attack.

The dead woman was standing in front of them. "Ohhh finally!" The woman put her hands on her forehead and dragged her hands through back of her head. A second ago some parts of her clothing were torn off and her hair fell from her heading but now she looked perfectly fine as if they weren't the same woman.

Proxima Midnight's hand on her spear tightened. "A witch!" She yelled. "I've been waiting for kill one!" She threw her spear to the woman. The spear went through the woman but it did not do any damage to the woman.

The woman took the spear from her chest and looked at it before smirking. "A witch? Really?" She demolished the spear on her hand. "You wish to kill me?" She chuckled. "You will continue to wait for all eternity."

Rest of the Black Order were going to attack as the woman conjured two swords from her hands which were standing on her both sides elegantly* but Thanos raised his hand signaling his order to stand down. "You are on my ship, attacking my Black Order."

The woman turned to where voice came from. She spotted the Titan wearing the Infinity Gauntlet. "Not fake." Was the only thing she said.

"Who are you? Answer before I decide you are not worthy of my time." Thanos asked.

"I am Hela, the Goddess of Death, Odin's firstborn, the rightful Queen of Asgard and 9 realms." She answered coolly, wondering who were the unfortunate souls that dared to question her. She had an idea but she wasn't sure. Hel had lots of souls killed by a Mad Titan and his minions who were seeking the Infinity Stones. Hela never cared enough to listen all stories about that. "And you are?"

Thanos was always fascinated about death even when he was a child. That's what drew him to obliterate his own planet. Now in front of stood the Goddess of Death. He always knew the Death existed but never saw anything on her. "I am Thanos of Titan. Con-"

Hela raised her hand. "The Mad Titan?" She didn't wait for him to respond. "I had a chat with The Other in Hel. I have heard of you. You seek all Infinity Stones to conquer the universe?" She asked sarcastically. She didn't need a bunch of stones to conquer all realms.

Thanos didn't like to be interrupted more than someone knowing his plans. "And you are the new protector of 9 realms after Odin?" He was getting ready to attack if she were to make any move.

Hela laughed. "Protector of 9 realms? That's a new one." Thanos didn't expect Odinsdottir to laugh. "I do not have any care for realms. I only want Asgard, rest can come to my Hel, hopefully they will." Hela didn't want her actual plan to be known to the Titan. She is the one to be destined to be the Conqueror of Realms whether they were alive or dead. Personally she would prefer dead, it would be easier to control for Goddess of Death. "I have a proposition for you, Titan but I shall not tell in front of lesser beings." One of his order's member growled. Hela didn't care enough to acknowledge it. "Or do you fear that I will do something to you?"

"Leave!" Thanos ordered. His order left without opposing him for which they knew if they disobeyed. "Asgard had the S-"

"Space Stone? I know I have seen it." This was the second time she interrupted him. Is she hoping to challenge me as her grand plan? Thanos thought as Hela continued. "You're wondering where it is? I know something better?" She gathered Eternal Flame around her hand and summoned its container to her other hand.

"You mean Eternal Flame?" Thanos laughed. "You think Eternal Flame is more powerful than an Infinity Stone? You are m-"

"2 Infinity Stones." This was the third strike. Normally he would kill anyone who cut his word but she said intrigued him. He waited her to explain more. "The Space Stone was in All-Father's vault but there was another stone in Asgard. I take it you heard of Heimdall*, the one sees all?" He nodded while Hela was playing with Eternal Flame on her hand before putting in the container. "How do you think he sees all souls in all realms? Odin gave him the Soul Stone. He gave one of the most powerful weapons to a peasant while he banished me to Hel. Only thing I regret about Odin is that I missed his death. So I would not mind if you take over the Universe or destroy it. I only wish my rightful place as a Queen. Help me to take my throne and I will tell you where they are even if it's not what you truly seek."

Thanos considered his options. The universe was vast. It would take longer to collect all stones than this new option. "Thunderer will be in my way and your other brother owes me. I will not be merciful on them ot any other protector of stones. That is the deal."

"Deal!" She suppressed her grin trough all conversation but she couldn't hide her grin anymore. "I do have one condition. Leave my sorry excuse of brothers to me. I have a feud to settle with them." He nodded. As long as he got the stones he didn't care who delivered Loki's punishment. "Loki took the Space Stone and with Heimdall and other Asgardians, they got into a ship, escaping my wrath."

Thanos summoned Ebony Maw and told him to find Odinsons' ship and then ordered Maw to tell his Black Order to go where he told them to. After Maw left, Thanos turned and saw Hela sitting on his seat smirking. He didn't register what she said before, he was preoccupied with Infinity Stones but he noticed it. So he addressed the burning question. "What do you mean what I truly seek? I only want all Infinity Stones to rule over Universe."

Hela stopped herself from rolling her eyes. She got up. "I can give you what you truly want" Hela said, knowing or feeling full well what he fascinated about and started to walk toward Thanos, swaying a little. I am the Goddess of Death. Do you really think I can't feel your fascination? She thought.

Thanos observed her before answering with nonchalance. "And what is that?"

Hela smirked, putting her hand on his shoulder, before leaning on his ear and whispering. "Death"

Hela put her hands around his neck, pulling him into a kiss. This should be fun. I have not done a thing like this for centuries. Hela thought as Thanos gave into her kiss.

Earth it is. That's what Thor said. How very predictable. Loki thought while he approached Thor. Loki stood there without talking a few moments before asking the burning question. "Do you really think it's a good idea to go back to Earth?"

"Yes of course. People of Earth love me. I'm very popular" Thor answered. All his time on Midgard made him sassier. Loki thought.

"Let me rephrase that. Do you really think it's a good idea to bring me back to Earth?"

"Probably not, to be honest. I wouldn't worry, brother. I feel like everything's gonna work out fine." Then a ship which Loki once saw when he was with The Other came to the sight. It was in this moment, they knew they fucked up. Probably the reason was no one told Thor to never say everything will be alright.

Meanwhile

Hela walked toward the window and saw her brothers standing together on the other ship. Thanos came behind her.* Hela grinned and she put her hands to head to summon her headdress. She was going to deal with her brothers and she was at her most powerful state when she wore it. "I am going to enjoy this." Hela exclaimed.

"Stones better be here. Our deal is dependent on it." Thanos said without looking at her.

"I told you their last locations. I cannot help it if they changed their places." Asgard still existed, if she were powerful enough, she would send necroswords to him just for fun but she wasn't strong enough yet. "Do not let your minions get into my way or they too will share same fate as the others." With that she left to attack her dearest brothers with a smirk on her face.

*Like she does in the movie. IDK how to describe it.

*I used to think Heimdall had the Soul Stone but now I think it is in Wakanda

*I let you imagine whatever happened after their kiss.
