"Damn it." Harry said under his breath before he aimed his wand at Hela who easily knocked it out of his hand, sending it out of the bifrost as well.
"So sorry about this," Hela said as she wrapped a hand around his throat. "it really is a shame that we can't get along with each other, but unfortunately you want Odin to live and I don't. Thank you for your help, and goodbye." She said before a sword shot out of her hand and pierced through Harry's stomach, causing him to gasp in pain before he felt himself get booted out of the bifrost.
Harry let out several curses as he landed roughly on a grassy field, his rough landing had pushed the sword further into his body. Harry managed to sit up and pull the sword out of his body, awkward and painful as that was, before tossing it away. He laid down on the ground, a large hole in his body and blood pouring out of him. He looked around, recognising the field he was in. Sif had showed this to him the last time he was on Asgard, this particular field was in Asgard but very, very far from the main city. Meaning that as soon as he was healed he could travel to Asgard.
Fortunately for him he could feel his energy slowly returning.
"Two minutes of rest, then I go and punch the goddess of death in the face." Harry said to himself before lying back and closing his eyes.
.....
"Heimdall, stand down!" Odin barked as soon as he and his wife exited the bifrost, followed closely by Hela. Hela's body shook slightly as she felt her power boost from simply returning to Asgard, her suit became greener and the damages repaired while her skin became less pale.
Heimdall, who was stood with the Warrior's Three, lowered his sword, knowing how futile it would be to try and fight. "You three as well." Odin added to the other three.
"Do as the King commands." Heimdall told the Warrior's Three.
"But she…" Volstagg began, only to be interrupted.
"Far outstrips all of us in power," Heimdall said, cutting him off. "to fight her now is suicide."
"I'd listen to the gatekeeper, he clearly knows what he is talking about." Hela said with a smirk, she knew that Odin was simply trying to avoid bloodshed, and at the moment she didn't really mind. After all, there was no sense in wasting good Asgardian warriors. The Warrior's Three glared at her before lowering their weapons. "Good boys." She smiled before turning to Odin. "Let's go to MY throne room, shall we?" She said, making it sound more like a command than a question.
"Hela," Odin began. "I think that you should…"
"Now!" Hela barked, cutting him off.
"Very well," Odin said with a deep sigh. "let us go."
"Good, oh and gather my people." Hela said to Heimdall and the Warrior's three. "It'd be much quicker than if I had to personally go and do it, I'm sure you understand." She said in a sweet voice. The group of warrior's looked towards Odin who gave them a nod, 'do as she tells you' was the unspoken command.
"Very well." Heimdall answered for himself and on behalf of the others.
.....
"Well, isn't this cute?" Hela spat with disgust as she stood in the throne room.
The room was filled with the people of Asgard, they were all standing nervously, close to their loved ones. It was clear that many of them (if not most of them) did not truly know who Hela was at first, but they were smart enough to realise that if their king was acting submissive and obedient in front of her then she was probably dangerous. Eventually they did learn exactly who she was, the banished firstborn of Odin. Some of the older Asgardians remembered her and along with Heimdal and the Warrior's Three, had explained everything to the younger ones.
"What is this?!" Hela demanded as she pointed up to the ceiling which was decorated with a mural of Odin ruling the Nine Realms in peace. "Does no one remember me?!" She demanded angrily. "Has no one been taught our history? Look at these lies. Goblets and garden parties? Peace treaties? Really?!" She said, glaring at Odin.
"I did what I thought was best," Odin began. "not just for myself but for the people of Asgard and…"
"Enough of your lies!" Hela snapped. "Proud to have it, ashamed of how you got it!" She hissed before pulling out a large spike from her body suit, before anyone could say anything she had sent the spike at the ceiling, destroying it and revealing another mural. The new mural was drastically different to the previous one and showed Odin and Hela conquering the Nine Realms together, the two of them destroying whole armies. "Look at it!" She yelled to the people of Asgard. "Look at the truth that this old man kept from you!"
"Hela, I…"
"I was your weapon!" Hela shouted. "And when I stopped obeying you, you tossed me away! Banished me! Caged me! Erased ME! Don't you dare try to explain it with any of your stupid excuses!" She growled at him. "You're an old man and a fool! I…"
"Well, that brings back memories." A voice interrupted. The Asgardians all spilt to either side of the room to reveal Harry standing by the entrance of the throne room.
"You? I thought I had killed you." Hela said, sounding faintly surprised.
"Yeah, you wouldn't be the first person to think that." Harry softly snorted.
"And why are you here?" Hela asked in a curious voice.
