Our heroes head to Asgard, when they are hailed on the space border by asguardian border patrol. Hiroshi mentions he's friends with Thor. The radio tech goes to check, and comes back with Thor, and the lot are greenlit to go to Asgard.
They arrive, and are met by a diplomatic corp. They are interrupted by Thor. He leads out heroes to the palace's great hall, where they begin to revel and feast. Thor tells them about how Asgard is keeping its defenses high. They eventually ask about talking to Odin to discuss Asgard helping with the Thanos situation. Thor leaves to talk to Odin. Hiroshi and Doctor Fallow start to get suspicious of their Asgardian escorts, the diplomatic corp, and Doctor Fallow uses his sling ring to open a portal to the throne room, where Odin and Thor are talking. Odin thanks him for saving him time, and walks through the portal. He talks for a bit, and then offers to walk and talk with Hiroshi and Doctor Fallow.
Odin feels that any aiding of the galactic cause would leave Asgard under threat of invasion. Eventually it comes to light that Thanos is likely after the infinity stones, and that two are located in Asgard. Hiroshi loses his mind, and has to lay on the ground as he learns that 2 are likely on earth as well.
After reading Odin's mind, Doctor Fallow feels that something is wrong and starts to question Odin, who eventually reveals himself as Loki. As it turns out, Loki is pretending to be Odin, at Odin's request, as he is the only one capable of leading in a time like this, while Odin undertakes the Odinsleep. If the galaxy knew Odin slept, Asgard would appear weak, and be attacked. Our heroes realize that Loki speaks the truth, and agree to keep the secret, one Loki largely entrusts them with as he knows that Thor would trust both of them. This is a secret not even Thor knows.
They exchange contact numbers, and agree to depart soon after partaking in wine and revealry.
Doctor Fallow has Agent Winnfield contact Xandar to find out who stopped Ronan the Accusers attack on their planet, and finds out it was Starlord Incorporated.
Meanwhile, Bandura, Polaris and Kurtis Rowan are lead to a room where a fake red skull expounds to them about HYDRA bullshit, and Bandura and Kurtis light him up. Bandura approaches the dying Nazi, who says "we win" before getting shot in the head. The door slam shuts, and the room then shakes violently, and loud noises are heard. They cannot get out. Then, the shaking stops, and they get out of the room. They are on a city street. Bandura runs over to a man and asks him what year it was. He tells him it is 1967. Bandura says "What?! What? What?" and then sits down in the middle of the street. Lorna sits next to him and offers him a cigarette.
