Enchantress takes great pleasure in using her powers and her army of monsters to keep Thor off balance. Thor easily beats them back but his pleas to Amora for knowledge of where they are go unanswered. Tony Stark tries to talk his way out of being captured by a pack of dwarves, but they drag him off anyway. Steve Rogers continues to have to fight off angry elves, but soon a beautiful elf woman takes him to her home and tends to his wounds. Tony is dragged off to Lord Fafnir, who turns from his dwarf form to a giant dragon at word that Iron Man is an associate of "Lord Thor." Steve Rogers pours his heart out to his host, who admits to him that she is an empath. He tells her how worried he is about making the same mistakes with his friends that got them into so much trouble before. He also has no idea where he is. She tells him that all the realms have turned violent of late, seemingly timed to Asgard taking its place on Midgard. Steve thanks her for her kindness and they embrace and passionately kiss, which is broken only when Thor's lightning flashes across the sky. As Fafnir threatens Tony, Thor finally realizes what the Enchantress was concealing from him, that Hela has taken over the Nine Worlds and begun to transform them into her vision. She and Thor begin to battle each other, his hammer's thunder and lightning signaling to Tony and Steve that he is near.
