• Winter recognized Hela and relaxed, while Autumn remained ready to fight; then the black robot rushed at Hela and grabbed her.

The Night Star trapped Hela in a cage powered by the city’s shield while Russia’s commander-in-chief restrained Spring for an impending satellite strike. The plan left Spring helpless in midair as he struggled to hold her for ten minutes.
