That was how they headed toward Zola's lab from underground, browsing the market as they went.
While shooting the breeze with Carol, Deathstroke used Strangle to secretly contact the Adjutant in Sepulk and issue new orders on multiple fronts.
First, he needed to deploy the Battle Sisters and personnel from the Ordo Xenos to 40K Earth. Efferal, who had just carried out an Exterminatus, was to return and work with Daisy's group to silently eliminate the Skrulls hiding among the crowds.
The public could not be allowed to learn about this. Everything had to happen in the dark. Otherwise, given Americans' suicidal tendencies, someone would definitely want to take pictures with the Skrulls or voluntarily offer up their identity to help their "alien friends."
Second, he needed to contact Ciri and have her take Hela to meet her other brother—the God of Light, Baldr, who was trapped in Magik's "Limbo," fighting giant tentacled earthworms every day.
The Serpent could only perish together with one of Odin's sons. That was the prophecy of Ragnarök, as well as the setting of the universe itself—a fated story that could not be changed.
But the details could be adjusted slightly. The one meant to die had originally been Thor, "the former second son and current eldest," but the Sorcerer Supreme had decided to let Baldr, whom "everyone thought was dead but had actually come back to life," take the hit instead.
Thor had a whole pile of flaws, while Baldr was far too perfect.
Odin's eldest son, whom he had lost in his early years, was practically the template for a Paladin. Every virtue was gathered in him, and he was both brave and clever. Even after his soul fell into Helheim, he had managed to resurrect himself and escape.
