At the same time, in Colora's room, she reflects on a memory.

Past - Rome

Tyr loses it when the Senate judges him. He heads to his chambers in anger. Colora follows behind him and asks, "Tyr, what was that?"

"Who are they to lecture me?!" Tyr questions her.

"Tyr, the Senate has its uses. Even the Emperor!"

"What uses? All they do is talk as for the Emperor. All he does is read scrolls all day and decide what the people need. It should be just you and me and Rome."

"You don't mean that." Tyr looks at Colora, then turns around to take off his cape. She is shocked. "Don't even think it! There has always been a Senate!"

Tyr sits down and says, "Rome has changed. It takes an Emperor to rule an Empire."

Colora sighs and says, "Of course, but leave the people their -"

"Illusions?"

Colora pauses for a moment. "Traditions. Tradition has been the center of every civilization since the beginning of time. Even our realms have certain traditions. For Asgard and Vanahiem, the tradition is to pass the throne to the firstborn, even if it is a girl. However, your sister failed to accomplish your father's expectations, so I've been told."

"Yes, I've heard that but what is your point?"

"My point is people love traditions. And if you try to change it, people might not accept it."

"Perhaps, but have the people experienced what it is like, to serve in the military? Don't they see the battles? What do we try to give them?"

"They care about the greatness of Rome. Just like how you and I care about the greatness of our worlds."

"The greatness of Rome. Well, what is that?"

"It's an idea. Greatness. Greatness is a vision."

"Exactly! A vision." Colora looks away from Tyr for a moment. "I will give a vision of Rome that they will love me for it. They'll soon forget those old men who think they know everything about the people. I will give the people the greatest vision of their lives."

Present

A guard enters the room and announces, "Excuse me. I wanted to inform you that the Emperor will be out with the Enchantress for a while but that they won't be gone too long."

Colora is shocked that Tyr left her behind. "I have the idea, thank you.," she replied. "Do you know exactly what time they'll be back?"

"No, my lady. But maybe two hours, give or take." Colora turns away from the guard. "Do you need anything?"

"No, I'll be alright, thank you. Actually I'm going to go to the royal library to read until the Emperor returns."

"Yes, my lady." The guard leaves. Colora turns her head and looks at the sky as she suddenly has an idea.

One minute later, Amora is heading toward Tyr's study. A guard notices her and asks, "Amora, I thought you were with the Emperor?"

"Oh, he wanted me to get something from his office," Amora replied. "So he wanted me to go back and grab it."

"Are you sure -" Before he could question her further, she uses magic to erase the guard's memory of what just happened, then quickly goes inside. The guard snaps out of the trance as the door is closed. "That was weird. I swear I thought I saw...oh well." The guard leaves.

Colora quickly changes back to herself and then heads to Tyr's desk. She searches and opens all the drawers for any information she can find. At the same time, Tyr is watching Amora attacking a bank. As that happens, Colora can't find any documents but finds his secret compartment that holds his computer. She quickly finds an empty USB, plugs it into the computer, and copies all the files she can.

A few minutes later, Tyr's ship lands in the hanger bay. The scientists and workers walk towards Amora and Tyr.

Use the money to buy any other parts that you need," Tyr commanded.

Amora hands them the money.

"Yes, my lord," the servant replied. The workers leave with the money as Tyr and Amora head inside.

"Amora, have jet fuel up in an hour and have a limousine pick us up at the airport as soon as we get there."

"Yes, master," Amora replied.

Amora leaves him. Tyr heads to his office.

At the same time, Colora finishes making copies and then quickly leaves Tyr's study and goes to her room.

"Is my outfit ready for tonight?" asks Tyr.

"Yes, my lord," the servant replied. "I have it waiting for you in your chambers, and Empress Colora's dress just needs your approval."

"Good. Leave me and make sure that everything for tonight is ready."

A few minutes later, Tyr enters Colora's room. He sees her fixing her hair. "Ah, there you are, darling," he sighs. "I was looking for you."

"I don't have anything better to do," Colora replied. "You should know that."

"Uh-huh." He pulls out a giant box and puts it on her bed. "Anyway, I have something for you."

"What is it?" She opens the gift and sees that it is an extravagant dress. She looks at him, confused. "What's the occasion?"

"You'll see." Colora realizes what Tyr is planning as he leaves her alone.

Meanwhile, Loki, Thor, Perseus, Harisa, and Liam are talking in the kitchen at the safe house. Suddenly, Dellinger bursts into the room and shouts, "Hey, you've gotta see this."

He turns on the Tv in the kitchen, and the news is on.

"We are live at Stark Industries here in Los Angeles for the Stark Relief Foundation," states the reporter. "So far, all the preparations are almost complete, but guests will arrive here shortly. Now Pepper Potts, late wife to Tony Stark, has informed us that only guests will be allowed on the premises due to what has happened in the last couple of weeks. Security will be at the entrance, inside and outside the building."

"Well, I can assume that one of your Avenger friends will be there," Loki assumed.

"I agree," Thor commented. "So we should prepare for the worse. Not just for whoever intervenes but mainly Tyr coming up with a plan to distract us by any means necessary."

Loki leans against the countertop. "You all know what this means."

Everyone looks at him. "We need to go tonight and stop Tyr from taking the final piece to what he's building."

A few minutes later, Thor and Perseus are preparing the weapons. Harisa prepares the outfits for the party. Dellinger is preparing the vehicle. Loki and Liam are looking at the guest list for the party. Once everyone is done, they gather in the study to plan. "Okay. So, Liam and I were able to get into their security system to see the guest list and see who has been invited because the only way we could get in is by posing as those not attending the party.

"You want us to impersonate someone else?" questions Thor. "To be shape-shifted into another person."

"Yes," Loki replied.

"That's brilliant," Perseus commented. "Okay, so who can we be?"

"Do you think it will work?" asks Harisa.

"As long as we don't make any mistakes, it should," Loki replied.

"Okay," says Thor.

Liam starts, "So, those who are definitely not going are Joseph Morgan and his co-star Claire Holt, Ben McKenzie, and CEO of Oscorp, Norman Osborn."

"How do you know they're not going?" Dellinger asked.

"They rejected the invitations due to personal affairs," Liam replied. "Osborn rejected because he especially hates Mr. Stark. According to records, some years ago, Oscorps and Stark Industries refused to work together due to their disagreements.

"Let me guess, Stark started it?" asks Thor.

"Yes," Liam replied.

Dellinger added, "Okay, but how will we watch people when we need to -"

"Leave that to me," says Loki. "I have done this before."

"It's true," Thor commented. "My brother can change not only himself but anyone physically but only through the eyes of others. So, we will see ourselves as we are, but everyone else will see the manipulation."

"Okay," said Perseus.

"Come on," says Loki as he shapes his clothing into a suit. "The faster we get there, the better the chance we will have to stop Tyr in his tracks."

"Wait, Loki," Dellinger interrupts. "Even if we do go, we succeed in getting in and manipulating everyone. We must remember that Tyr will be using a diversion as he tries to steal the machine."

"He's right," Harisa commented. "And if I recall correctly, the last diversion he used was using Colora to distract you."

"So, more than likely, Tyr will try to make the same diversion again towards you if he expects us to be there," says Thor.

"So are you suggesting I don't go?" asks Loki

"No, that's not what I'm saying," answers Thor. "I'm just saying that you need to be careful and not let Colora distract you. No matter what and no matter how tempting it will be."

Loki sighs.

A few minutes later, the group heads to the car. Liam follows them until Loki turns to him. Liam says, "I wish I could come with you. Just to help."

"No," Loki replied. "We need you to be our eyes and ears here. Besides, it's much too dangerous. Liam. Son. I know you want to help, but -"

"I know. I know. I get the lecture all the time."

"Good. But just in case."

Sadiel approaches from behind and says, "There's my favorite nephew."

Liam smiles and runs towards her to hug her. "Aunt Sadiel!" he shouts with excitement.

"My goodness, you've grown!"

Loki walks towards her. She looks at him with a look on her face. "Thank you for doing this," says Loki. "I truly appreciate it."

"I'm not doing this just for you. I'm doing this because I want my sister back. So you better get her back."

"I will try. I give you my word."

"Good luck, dad," says Liam.

"Thank you," Loki replied. He heads to the car.

"Dad!" Loki stops before he gets in the driver's seat. Liam walks towards him. Loki takes his son in and hugs him. "Tell mom I love her. Please."

"I will." They smile at each other. Loki then gets inside the car. As the car starts, Liam sheds a tear, knowing the danger his father and family will face. He also hopes that his mother will return.

Outside of Los Angeles, the group discusses the plan while Loki is driving. He then pulls into a parking garage to stop. "Here's the plan," starts Loki. We get in, and Dellinger and Harisa will find the machine and protect it by any means necessary. Knowing our brother, he will use Amora to get the device. Perseus, Thor, and I will walk around the party to look for Tyr. When we find him, Perseus, you will get the guests to leave and escort them to safety. While Thor and I will fight Tyr and take him down together."

"Good idea, but what happens when you see my sister," Perseus questioned Loki. "Tyr will use her to his advantage."

"He has a point," Thor added.

"And what about the security?" asks Harisa.

Loki commented, "Once we're inside. They'll be watching everyone inside, which will be tight just as they are outside. Liam will sneak and break into their security system. He will give us access so that we can go in unnoticed. As for Colora, yes, it will be tricky, but we must work together."

"Brother, it's not just that," Thor implies. "He will use Colora to get to you. He did it once before. He'll do it again."

"Point made. Look, we can argue and discuss this all day, or we can discuss how we will get to the party."

"No problem," says Dellinger. They all turn around as they see several cars approaching them. The drivers get out. "I called an old friend, and he hooked us up just for when we get there. After that, we're on our own."

Harisa leans next to him and says, "God, I love you, Dellinger." They kiss.

Loki steps in front of them and says, "Alright. Let's do this." He uses his power to change them.
