"These halls haven't been used in years" Magni spoke as the trio of him Valeria and Ian walked the secret golden corridors
With a simple act of strength from Magni opening upon the giant gated doors the trio was Immediately bombarded with a series of rich and famous ancient golds, jewels, and artifacts from all over the universe
"Woah" was Ian's only reaction as the trio had walked down the long hallway taking in the exotic richness of Asgardian delicacy
"Grandfather was a man of class I shall say" Magni spoke before turning to Valeria
"Alright, I brought you down here. Now where's my sister, it's time she truly feels the family wrath that Mjolnir holds"
His breath stunk. Like a skunk sprayed in his mouth. But Valeria tended to ignore it as she brought out an old Viking hieroglyphic
"You'll get your revenge blondy, now come help me open this up" she said before beginning to walk past him to head to the old cracked statue all the way at the end of the hall
The statue was tightly guarded by metal chains and within the small secure hall stood a hoard of dusted and decaying looking Berserkers but most importantly within the confine of chains stood a ember green flame that burned brightly
But before Valeria could even think of moving past him a hand that held Mjolnir in it extended out stopping her in her tracks
In a strange confused Manor Valeria looked up at Magni's frame to find a soulless drunken expression plastered on his face
"That wasn't the deal. I give you my grandfather's Treasure room. You give me my half blooded sister" he growled as his eyes sparked a dark shade of lighting
"Now. where is she."
Immediately Ian stepped in front of Valeria in a protective motion bringing up the tension and putting himself right in the middle. Gunshots only flared even more when he sprouted out his triangle shapes shield from his wrist pointing directly at Magni
"Step back" he threatened but Magni blew a drunken chuckle
"Mortal, you fool yourself" Magni stated not taking Ian seriously at the slightest as he started to laugh in fact but immediately when Ian swung at him hitting him straight in the jaw line actually making him shut his mouth Magni paused
His heart and body actually felt that ? in an even more confused manner Magni brought his hand to his lip and felt the pain go away in seconds before turning back to Ian's serious glare
"You were saying" Ian said and Magni only growled as he twirled Mjolnir in his hands
"Alright, Mortal. Suite yourself-"
"STOP !" Valeria shouted landing herself in the middle between the two boys to push them both back from one another
The movement had delayed them both as they both paused to look at Valeria
"Ian, toy away now" she called out and the blonde super soldier just snarled his teeth and groaned before unclenching his hand to let the shield form back in the device
Turing to Magni Valeria was more in a lighter tone as she had also changed her posture too
"Magni" she began looking at his serious glare
"I get it, you want revenge for what your sister did to your Mother, you want payback and justice. I truly understand. And if you just stick with me and help me out I can give you everything you want. Your Mother, your sister, even your Father"
Magni's grip on Mjolnir only tightened when the mention of Thor was heard. He closed his eyes and deeply thought in a sigh about his actions holding onto Mjolnir for the dear of it all thinking should he really trust these two
Ian and Valeria even stood on the edge of their toes. They knew they couldn't do this without him. Even if Ian already didn't like him
But surely enough Magni unclenched his hand around Mjolnir and let it strap to his belt buckle easing the tension between the trio as he just let out a loud sigh
"What do you need my help with" Magni stated in which Valeria revealed an old Viking Hieroglyphic

"These chains can only be opened by the royal bloodline of Asgard" Valeria said before looking at Magni
The blonde thunder god just groaned before walking up to the silver chains and placing his hand on the lock before soon enough a small lighting zap had unlocked the silver bindings letting the giant metal drop to the floor
Immediately the chains pooled around the ground like a long tugged rope, the sound of metal clanging to the ground echoed through the hall before dust and rubble were shot into the air
Ian only covered his eyes while Magni and Valeria didn't even flinch. Valeria herself has even walked closer to the now opened statue
Her eyes grew wide in amazement as all she could think about was this was it….the tomb of the goddess of death
bringing forth the Viking Hieroglyphic' Valeria did nothing more than observe the tomb. Her hands physically shaking due to her sheer nervousness knowing she only had one shot at this.
Handing the Hieroglyphic to Magni Valeria had made her way to the flame that burned in front of the statue. Valeria grabbed one hand full of it before returning back to Magni
"When I say go read" Valeria commanded and Magni responded with a confirmed headnod
Ian himself made sure to stay back. Hiding himself behind a pillar and wall just in case things went south fast
Clearing his throat before looking at the Hieroglyphic Magni Immediately began to speaking the old norse
"ᚺᛖᚱᛖ ᛋᚺᛖ ᛋᛏᚨᚾᛞᛋ, ᛏᚺᛖ ᚷᛟᛞᛖᛋᛋ ᛟᚠ ᛞᛖᚨᛏᚺ"
Immediately Valeria placed the flame on the ground and watched as it circled around both her and Magni
"ᛋᛈᛖᚨᚴ ᚺᛖᚱ ᚾᚨᛗᛖ ᛈᚱᛖᛈᚨᚱᛖ ᛏö ᛏᚨᚴᛖ ᚤöᚢᚱ ᛚᚨᛋᛏ ᛒᚱᛖᚨᛏᚺ"
The Flame's inferno grew bright. A giant ring of fire trapped around them before a line was short forth straight aiming dead center at the tomb making the statue's eye's glow green
"ᛞᚨᚢᚷᚺᛏᛖᚱ öᚠ öᛞᛁᚾ, ᛒᚱöᛏᚺᛖᚱ öᚠ ᛏᚺöᚱ"
Suddenly the ground began to rumble as the inferno only grew brighter parallel to the statue's growing eyes
Magni had stopped the scripture but Valeria only told him to keep going as they were almost done and finally Magni said the last words
"ᚺᛖᛚᚨ ᛁᛋ ᚺᛖᚱ ᚾᚨᛗᛖ ᚾöᚹ ᛋᚺᛖ ᛁᛋ ᚱᛖᛒöᚱᚾ"
BOOM
Immediately when Magni finished the scripture everything went up in Flames. The Statue had leaked with fire before fully breaking and the flame grew into a bright inferno forcing Ian into the cover while Valeria surrounded Magni and herself within a small bubble of protection
There was one long pause and halt that waited between the 3. Slowly ian revealed himself from his hidden spot as Valeria and Magni were uncovered from their shield immediately coming to the destruction of the statue and the wing and hall of this side of the treasure room
Essence and low green flames sizzled down giving Ian the chance he needed to step through and find Magni and Valeria wondering what the hell just happened ?
"Hey, hey Vals you ok ?" Ian said as he began to help her up trying to get up attention but he eyes were only glued at the sight in front of her
In confusion Ian didn't understand what she was looking at and neither did Magni until collectively they all turned their heads and grew a wide eyed expression when they saw a black haired woman dressed in black and green
It looked like she was stretching her bones they way she felt herself with a satisfied smile
"Ohhhhhh, they feel's good. Being trapped in that putrid thing for centuries really has a toll on your body" Hela moaned
The three young adults looked in a state of shock and surprise wondering just what the hell have they done while Magni only said one thing in complete shock
"Grandmother…."

The ship had docked upon the larger one and the simple fact that they didn't get shot out into deep space gave it away that Thanos was in there alone and by himself
Even with that being said it still shook James, Torunn, Pym, Azari and Francis all to their core as they all stood at the opened latch of the ship's loading bay. Seeing the long dark hallway of Thanos's sanctuary ship leading to his Throne Room
The sight made Pym gulp physically before scratching the back of his head
"Hey guys…..if we die here…..I have a confession to make"
His closest friends wasted no time giving their full undivided attention to Pym, watching as he nervously scratched his suited arm before rubbing his hands together
Whatever this was
It was important to him
Which meant it was important to them
"Pym. you can tell us" Torunn said with a warm smile and Pym just nodded his head and swallowed his saliva before agreeing
"Right ok…rip the bandaid off….right….so….like…..I'm not…I mean-I'm not saying girls aren't….It's just….."
Pym continued to stammer and stutter more and more as the words troubled to get out like they were stuck
"You have a secret girlfriend ? That seems like a line James would say" Francis tried to help him out but Pym just shook head
"No….opposite actually…well not really it's just-"
Again Pym sighed as the peak of everyone's mustard confusion
"I've been running some test-not really test but I've been feeling…things" Pym began emphasis on the things making everyone raise an eyebrow
"And again not saying I don't like girls..BECAUSE I DO ! THEIR PRETTY AND SMELL NICE AND…." Pym shook his head showing his was going off track
"but….I've ran some test on myself….and I've also hidden some things and I've come to the conclusion that I'm-"
Immediately Pym was stopped when everyone just smiled at him
"Pym….we know" James said making the small pixie raise his head up
"What ?"
With a smile and chuckle Azari nodded his head
"Yeah man, we get it" he said
"And we don't think any less of you" Torunn smiled down upon Pym
With a burst of joy filled in his stomach Pym immediately hugged his family. A gesture they all took light of even Francis. Granted he was first to wiggle out of the hug with an awkward laugh
"Alright, now that Pym has relieved himself. Let's go get ourselves killed alright"
Frankly enough even though Francis was being 100 % honest that fear that lead them before didn't stick around as it was replaced with a small spark of hope when they all stepped foot on the giant darkened ship

Walking side by side within the giant hallway of The Sanctuary the 5 Avengers all mentally prepared themselves for what's about to come
Not knowing what would be revealed past that giant pitch black door. Not knowing what they would've seen. They all knew they would face it together
Or die trying
Not like they had much of a choice right
The ship had been outclassed, outdated. The Black Order were long dead proven by the ash, dust and rubble the heroes currently walked upon
The sight forced Pym to quake wondering just why Thanos would kill his own army but he guessed that was a question he would be willing to answer maybe ?
Step by step they got closer to the giant door and on the other side lead The mad Titan Thanos himself
Slowly each and everyone of the young teens prepared themselves for what they would face
James brought forth his shield and began to walk a little slower as he sternly held the weapon in front of him
Lighting began to zap by every step as Torunn brought forth her sword and held it in a strong front stance
Pulling an arrow out from his quiver Francis lined it up to his bow ready to take aim and fire whenever he needed too
Azari's eyes went pure white as his hair began to frolic as he gripped his metal rod tightly
And both of Pym's hands began to glow a bright neon green of Plasma as he stood strong and tall knowing he'd protect his family by any means necessary
They were the Avengers, and so they were gonna act like them. They weren't gonna back down, weren't gonna quit. Weren't gonna give up because they were heroes and they were gonna save the world
Looking at his family James got a confident and ready nod from each and everyone on his team. And he just gave one back before looking at the giant door that he was about to push open in his hands
Mentally counting to 3 James took a deep breath before acting
"I love you Mom and Dad" he said before pushing open
