Hey, everybody. Back with chapter 3.

This chapter skips ahead a little bit to where Thor communicates with Heimdall. I just had no reason to include the first conversation between Thor and Hulk.

Guest: Yeah, Oliver doesn't usually act like that. But, he's pretending to be like that to be able to stay in favor with the Grandmaster.

Let's get to it.

Chapter 3- A New Alliance

Thor watches as Hulk walks out. Valkyrie is waiting for him. "Hey, big guy," she says in greeting.

"Angry girl," Hulk responds.

"What have you been up to?" Valkyrie asks with a laugh.

"Winning," is Hulk's reply.

Thor kinda stares off into the middle distance for a moment before turning back to the window. He sighs as he closes his eyes, then says in a low voice, "Heimdall, I know you can see me. I need you to help me. Help me see."

A powerful feeling washes over him, and Thor opens his eyes. He immediately finds himself in a courtyard on Asgard, Heimdall standing just a few yards away.

"I see you, but you're far away," Heimdall says.

Thor glances around before asking, "What's going on here?"

"Come see for yourself," Heimdall responds. Thor follows Heimdall over to an archway, which opens out to a view of Asgard, allowing Thor to see the fires burning across the city.

"I'm providing refuge in a stronghold built by our ancestors. But if the garrison falls, our only escape is Bifrost," Heimdall informs him.

"You're talking about evacuating Asgard," Thor says in slight protest. As soon as he finishes, he hears a growling from behind him. Heimdall pushes him back against the wall, and several skeletons in armor walk past, not noticing them or the group of escapees with them.

"We won't last long if we stay. She draws her power from Asgard and grows stronger every day," Heimdall says to Thor before saying to all the escapees, "Come on!"

He turns and leads them out of the corridor. As he leads them to their escape path, he turns back to Thor and says, "Hela is ravenous. If I let her leave, she'll consume Nine Realms and all the cosmos. We need you."

"I'm working on it. But I don't even know where the h*** I am," Thor says as he can hear growling sounds behind him.

"You're on a planet surrounded by doorways. Go through one," Heimdall says.

"Which one?" Thor asks.

"The big one," Heimdall says as he draws his sword. He looks directly at Thor before saying, "And find the archer." He then charges and swings his sword through Thor's intangible form and cuts down one of the Berserkers.

Back on Sakaar, Thor's eyes snap open, and he stumbles back. He stares out the window, trying to process what just happened. As he's standing there, he suddenly hears footsteps behind him.

Thor turns around, wondering who it could be. To his surprise, he sees the green-clad archer walking into the room.

Thor narrows his eyes a little, shifting his stance to be ready to fight. The archer stops a few yards away before saying, "Enough. I'm not here to fight," the archer says.

Thor stares at him silently for a few moments before asking, "What do you want, then, archer?"

The archer looks at him for a moment before reaching up and removing his mask. Then, he flips his hood back, revealing a man in his 30s, with a scruffy beard and mustache and dark hair.

The man looks at Thor intently for a moment before saying, "My name is Oliver Queen. And I need to have a word with you, Thor."

(Oliver POV)

Oliver sits down on a chair, resting his feet on an ottoman. He looks at Thor for a moment before Thor asks, "Who are you?"

"Like I said, my name is Oliver Queen. Also known as the Green Arrow. I used to be a vigilante, protecting my home city, until I got brought here. I'm from Earth. Specifically, Earth-1," Oliver explains.

Thor looks surprised. "Earth-1, you said? Do you know a man named Barry Allen?"

Oliver sits up a bit straighter. "Yes. How do you know that name?" he asks.

"I was part of a hero team on Earth. Its called the Avengers. Over two years ago, we were fighting a robot named Ultron when Mr. Allen suddenly appeared and helped us. He said he came from Earth-1," Thor says.

Oliver feels stunned. Barry and he have come to the same universe. But he also feels confused, since Thor said Barry showed up on Earth over two years ago, and he's only been here on Sakaar for six months.

"How do you know Allen?" Thor asks.

"I met Barry before he became the Flash. We became friends, and I kinda became his mentor in a way once he became the Flash," Oliver says.

Thor nods. Then, he asks, "How did you get here? The same way as Allen came to Earth?"

"Yeah, I'm assuming. I got caught up in the vortex from the Dominator grenade. It brought me here to Sakaar. I joined the Grandmaster as his guard. It was my best chance to survive," Oliver says. Thor nods in understanding.

Oliver leans forward a bit. "How did you end up here on Sakaar, Thor? I thought you lived on Asgard," he says.

Thor sighs a bit. "I just found out my father had a daughter named Hela. The goddess of death. She was locked away for her violence before I was even born. When my father died just recently, she got free. My brother Loki and I tried to escape back to Asgard using the Bifrost bridge. But, Hela followed us and knocked us out of the Bifrost. Because of that, Loki and I ended up here on Sakaar," Thor explains.

Oliver slowly nods before stating matter of factly, "You're looking for a way off Sakaar."

Thor nods. "I need to get back to Asgard and stop Hela. If I don't, my people are doomed, and all the cosmos are going to be in danger," he says.

Oliver nods as he stands up. "Alright. I'll make you a deal. If you can help get off this nightmare planet, and help me find my friend Barry, I'll come with you to Asgard and help you stop Hela," he says.

Thor grins broadly, happy to know he has at least one ally on this world. He extends his hand and says, "I would be happy to accept your aid, Oliver Queen. Once we have beaten Hela, I will get you to Earth and help you find Mr. Allen."

The two shake hands, sealing this newfound alliance.

I'll end there. I know this chapter was shorter, but it was just meant to get Oliver acquainted and allied with each other.

I hope you guys are excited for the rest of this story. I know I am. Until next time, please review, and stay tuned.
