Chapter summary

Key plot points and events

• Tony asks Valkyrie what happened in Asgard. Using the Mark VI’s holographic system and JARVIS’s lip-reading, he reconstructs Odin and Frigga’s return to Valhalla, Hela’s escape from Odin’s seal, and her defeat of Thor and Loki before casting them into the prison that once held her.
• Tony notices a scarlet gem in Hela’s ring. JARVIS finds a 97% likelihood that it is an Infinity Stone, and Valkyrie identifies it as the Reality Stone—once held by the Dark Elves before it vanished after Asgard destroyed them.
• Tony calls the Avengers together and begins considering preparations for the Dark Elves. JARVIS warns that Hela’s Reality Stone may block spatial wormholes. Tony and Valkyrie reason that its use appears to require a visible buildup and has limits, making it vital to confront Hela before she masters it further.
• Valkyrie says she cannot defeat Hela alone. Tony decides to bring Hulk back into the conflict.
• Banner is already traveling to join the team aboard a Quinjet piloted by Natasha, alongside Hawkeye and Captain America. He is distracted by concern for Caiera, who is pregnant, and Natasha notices his unease.

• Tony demonstrates his usual mix of technical ingenuity, confidence, and teasing humor. Though he jokes about feeling unsafe, he takes Hela seriously, analyzes the Reality Stone, and swiftly organizes a response. He also privately misses his brother Leon and hopes to upgrade Pepper and Helen Cho’s armor when Leon returns.
• Valkyrie shares her knowledge of Asgard’s history and the Reality Stone, and her anger and helplessness over Hela’s return are clear. She trades barbs with Tony but accepts the need to regroup.
• Banner is more cautious around Natasha than before. He avoids her closeness and jokes that she might make him “lose control,” hinting at concern about his relationship with Caiera and the Hulk’s unpredictability.
• Natasha approaches Banner with concern, but her flirtatious manner makes him uncomfortable. Captain America and Hawkeye try not to stare as she sits beside him.
• Hela is established as a major threat: she has defeated Thor and Loki and may wield the Reality Stone, though the extent of her control remains uncertain.

Significant themes

• Preparation against overwhelming power: Tony and Valkyrie focus on understanding Hela’s abilities and acting before her command of the Reality Stone grows.
• Technology and uncertainty: JARVIS can reconstruct events and analyze energy signatures, but even advanced systems lack enough evidence to determine the Stone’s full capabilities.
