《The Merchant of Death》Bifrost Bridge
Advertisement
"There are several ripples in the Rainbow Bridge...Something terrible is happening."
Hela's word made Tony understand that maybe Xandar's decimation and the fusion of the Power Stone with the Infinity Gauntlet had made these ripples in the Rainbow bridge which were detected by Hela.
'Whoever has the connection with the Rainbow bridge can see it...Heimdall isn't in the observatory so was he able to see Thanos?' Thought Tony while reminiscing the vision of Xandar he saw.
Tony then started walking towards Hela and in an attempt to peek at whatever she was looking at, he brought his head over her shoulder.
Hela felt Tony's breath on her neck while his head touched her headdress and asked Tony in an amused tone about what he was doing
"Don't you fear me?"
"Should I fear you?" asked Tony with puzzled look
"If I should then do enlighten me why. Why should I fear you? I mean I am here in front of you in your home, standing beside you, right? If there was a need for me to be afraid of you, then I wouldn't have warned you about Thor's plans, much less come here to Asgard to help you." Continued Tony as he kept searching for whatever Hela was looking at.
"Are you immortal?" Suddenly asked Hela with a smirk
"Yes I am. We Sorcerers have some arts with which we can draw powers from different dimensions and increase our lives however long we want...Why do you ask?"
"No reason, Just inquiring about how long I have to keep up with you like this." replied Hela.
Tony started chuckling at this and removed his head from her shoulder and started to measure and scan the Observatory while speaking
"Well I am sure that If I wasn't immortal, then you would have made me one after I showed you your sword's upgrade."
"You talk too highly of yourself. My Necrosword was Enchanted by Odin and then by Me personally with the blood of millions in our conquest of the Nine Realms."

Hela then manifested her sword and looked at it as she reminisced the days she use to conquer worlds after worlds with this sword.
"No, You are just underestimating me too much. You know? Give me two days and I will remove Heimdall's connection with the Rainbow bridge, compromising his All-Seeing vision and giving it to you."
"ARROGANT." Was the only word Hela could say when Tony told her that. Even Connecting Bifrost was incredibly difficult to the Rainbow bridge and Tony talked about severing and recreating a connection with it.
"If I can't do it in two days then you can feed me to your pet." retorted Tony in a calm voice as he got up after measuring the observatory and went towards Hela until his face was inches away from hers and stared into her eyes with his Absolute Black pupils.
A strange sensation rose in Hela's stomach when Tony did this while saying such words. In over a millennia, the entire time she lived, no one had ever behaved like this in her presence yet here he was speaking to do something impossible and putting his own life on the line to prove it.
Tony then moved his face away a little and raised his hand in front of her.
Hela kept staring into his pupils when the strange sensation in her increased and she looked towards his palm and then looked at him again. Tony raised an eyebrow at her and She, with a smile of her own, put her Necrosword in his palm before immediately walking away.
Tony looked at her walking silhouette when he heard her voice which said
"Two Days, Remember that"
.
.
Hela then went straight to Odin's vault to retrieve the Eternal flame and the Tesseract.
'If you can achieve this feat...regardless of how many days you take, then you are more than worthy to be recognized by me.'
"Fenrir, I am Opening the barrier around Asgard. Guard our guest well."
Hela then immediately went back to the Observatory to find Tony with several glowing arc reactor and her sword on a table which he placed there.

She just came near the table and put the Eternal flame near it and went away while Fenrir stayed to guard Tony.
As soon as Hela exited the Observatory, Tony's feet, hidden behind the table he was working on, turned into tendrils and inserted themselves in the Control mechanism of the Bifrost while his eyes started to flash with a weak rainbow light.

Heimdall was picking fruits from trees with some children and was then providing some fruits with water to the hidden Asgardians when suddenly an extreme pain rose in his mind he screamed while holding his now bleeding head.
Everyone around him became alert and nervous at this and they immediately went to help him. They took him inside a cave and laid him on a bed while he was still screaming and treated the blood from the veins which bursted inside his head.
"What is happening!?"
"I don't know, He was just giving us food when the veins in his head popped out and bursted."
"Has Hela already found us?"
"No, This is something else. Why would she hide after attacking?"
All the hidden Asgardians were gathered around Heimdall while some doctors were treating his collapsed veins and after quite a while of screaming, he finally lost his consciousness.
.
.
.
Thor suddenly felt the barrier around Asgard lift up and said in an excited tone
"The Barrier has been lifted! We can go inside of Asgard now!"
Valkyrie too felt it and sighed in relief while Banner said while laughing
"Didn't I say that we shouldn't be impatient and take a risk with the way in Hel? huh?"
"Yeah….But I have a very bad feeling...Why has the barrier suddenly been opened. Has Hela detected us and set this up as a trap?" Said Valkyrie with hesitation.
Thor and Banner, faces of both the guys fell at Valkyries obvious deduction.
"The risk remains the same...If we try to sneak through Hel, there is no guarantee of our survival and we would ultimately be battling Hela anyways as she is the most powerful in Asgard" replied Banner with much reluctance.
"It's true. We can't risk wasting anymore time anyways. All the seconds we waste bring us close to the destruction she is about rain on the Cosmos" Said Thor with determination and nodded at Banner, who in response nodded back and went to sit on pilot's seat.
.
.
.
Tony's mind was bleeding while half his body was turned into tendrils and was inside the Control mechanism of the Bifrost.
He was surrounded by four walls and a roof, all shining with blue lights as to hide this ability from Hela's surveillance as he was breaking Heimdall's connection with the Bridge and was establishing his own.
His ability of technopathy was working in full force as he was understanding the Asgardian technology. All of the Asgardian science was being poured into his brain and he was understanding the Bifrost bridge but due to it being connected to Mystical energy and Odinforce, it was overwhelming for Tony.
Tony on the other hand just smirked at his condition when his regenerative abilities were also working and healing his wounds at rapid speed visible to the naked eye.
He also tried to take a quick glance at the Rainbow bridge but the vision of all the Godly Nine Realms and Ten trillion souls at the same time almost killed him.
Jarvis had quickly terminated the connection of the Rainbow bridge and Tony was just concentrating on the Asgardian technology and was understanding how they were able to make a connection with the Bridge.
This also made Tony understand about Hela's sword and Uru ore a little better.
Another robot outside these walls was burning the Uru ores Hela provided him with on the Eternal flame as Fenrir watched it with some interest.
.
.
.
Hela was sitting on her throne as she watched her brother Thor entering the Asgard with a Valkyrie and what Tony called a Hulk while her other brother Loki followed behind them with a little distance.
"I've been waiting, Brothers"
