Hello again! Now that Clint is safe, what will happen next? Like I've said before, I do not own anything and this is all for fun. Onto the story!

Chapter 19

Clint rubbed his eyes as yet another adviser left him alone on the throne. Clint waved his hand in the air, letting the purple aura of his magic rise up briefly before letting it disappear into the air. He didn't have much free time to practice his new found magic abilities with Odin, Thor, and Loki gone on their mission. Once Clint was declared fully healed, Odin declared that he needed to leave to the other realms to spread the news of Frigga's death and the new Queen. Thor and Loki needed to start the search on the Infinity Stones. They were extremely dangerous and something needed to be done.

Clint did know that Thor would be stopping at Midgard to give the rest of the team his regards and that he was fine. Apparently, Natasha was panicking, thinking he was dead. Between Clint and Thor, they decided they would leave out the part that Clint had actually died to protect Thor. Thor would give the Avengers an abridged version where Clint was just seriously injured. On a worrisome note, Bruce has also mysteriously disappeared. Thor and Loki would also spend some time searching for the missing member.

Clint jolted in his seat on the throne as a surge of power rocketed throughout the land. Someone extremely powerful had entered Asgard and it did not feel friendly. Screams of terror rose in the air as the person made their way to the throne.

"My Queen," One of the guards shouted, running into the room. "We must get you away from here. This person..."

"No." Clint rose to his feet. "Let this person come. I don't want needless fighting. I am the Queen of Asgard and I shall fulfill my duty." The guards nodded and went to the doors, waiting. Clint shifted his eyes to the person lingering in the shadows. "Heimdall."

"My Queen," The watcher said, stepping forward.

"I don't know what is going to happen or what is to happen to me," Clint started. "Nothing good. But we must keep this person in Asgard and not let them go to the other realms. Seal the realm. Also, protect the people. If it comes to it, take the people somewhere safe."

"I hope it won't come to that, My Queen," Heimdall said. "But I will do as you command. If you would try to stay safe, that would be great. I did give my word to Thor."

Clint smiled. "I appreciate the concern but go. Before it is too late." Clint turned to the doors as Heimdall disappeared into the shadows, ready to follow Clint's orders.

The doors blasted off their hinges, crashing into the opposite walls as a woman, dressed in dark green and golden, spiked horns covering her hair, strode their the room, glaring up at the ceiling. "He did like to cover up things that he didn't like. Peace to cover up war." She threw up swords at the ceiling, destroying the mural of peace and light, revealing one of war and darkness. The woman smiled at the destruction before looking up at the throne. "So, are you one of Odin's projects?"

"I am Clint Barton, Queen of Asgard," Clint announced, standing tall among the destruction. "State your purpose."

"Queen?" The woman sneered. "Ugh. I can feel Frigga's magic from you. Well, no matter. You can step down. I am here to claim the throne."

"Who are you?" Clint asked, refusing to move from his spot.

"Hela, Odin's first born," Hela answered. "The one he banished for doing what a rightful leader conquering the world would do. Now, step down and you will live."

"It is my duty to protect this realm and stepping down wouldn't let me protect it and the people who live here."

Hela hummed, summoning her blades, pointing them at Clint. "Well, it seems like threatening your life won't work." The blades slowly turned to the land where the smoke rose into the sky and the guards that were in the room. "How about the people?"

Clint took a deep breath. "My duty is to protect the people. If I step down, you will not harm the people?"

Hela laughed. "I cannot guarantee the safety of those who fight against me but if you step down, I will not just go and kill everyone."

"Don't do it!" Solveig shouted as one of the blades slowly crept to his throat. "Asgard cannot lose you!"

Clint looked over at one of his loyal guards. "I will do what I must to protect everyone." Clint stepped down from the throne.

Hela smiled. "Take him." Skurge stepped forward to a string of curses from his fellow Asgardians and forced Clint to knell on the guard in front of the throne. "I could kill you but Asgardians love to fight for their dead Queen. What will keep them from fighting will be the thought of a captive Queen." The swords slowly pushed the guards out of the throne room. "I would tell the people that fighting will only bring harm to their little Queen and they should get used to serving their new Queen."

Hela laughed as she walked deeper into the palace, Skurge forcing Clint to follow along. Hela lead them deep beneath the palace to the treasure chamber. Skurge and Clint followed closely behind as Hela passed relics, declaring some fake, others smalls, and some interesting. Hela paused at the center of a vacant room and broke the floor, revealing a tome with an army and a large gray wolf. Clint watched in horror as Hela's magic spread through the tome, bringing everything alive. Hela returned to Skurge and Clint as she ordered her army into Asgard.

"You said you harm would come to the people."

"I did, as long as they don't fight," Hela said, smirking. She lifted up her hands, holding a black chain in them. "What do you think? A queen for the treasure room." Skurge took Clint to the opposite side of the giant hole, forcing him to knell on the ground. The black chain came to life in Hela's hands and wrapped around his wrists, ankles, and body, anchoring him to the floor and walls. Clint gasped as the chains zapped all the magic within, a burning sensation growing in his chest. "I think it is fitting."

Clint growled. "You won't get away with this."

"I already have," Hela smirked, watching as the black chain slowly turned a dark purple. "You do have quite a bit of magic in you. Pity. You would have made an excellent ally."

"You won't win."

"We shall see."

Clint could only watch as he was left alone in the chamber. He pulled the chains, feeling himself grow weaker as they drained him. He could only hope that Thor would return and someone would think to look for him here.

Author's Note: And now we have moved onto Thor: Ragnarok. Honestly I had the story planned out to a point and then this movie came out so I figured I would add the events in somehow. Special thanks to Katie MacAlpine and MoonstarWorld for the reviews. Also, special thanks for the follows and favorites and for those reading along! Reviews are always welcome. Until next time!
