A Mutant's Ascension

[POV Reo]

I really wished that I had some popcorn... that would have been perfect. Pity... I can't create some popcorn... now I wonder if having Creation powers would have been better than Destruction powers... Nah!! Destruction is way better than Creation.​​

Hmm... why don't I conjure myself some popcorn... Fuck! Why didn't I think of this?? I know that the popcorn will disappear from my stomach but I can still taste them and eat them when it matters... which is right now. I waved my hand a bucket of popcorn appeared in my hand...

I cast a silencing charm around me... I can't disturb the reunion of a mother and daughter, that would be a crime punishable by heavens... I have been cruel in the past but even I am not that cruel... so, I decided to enjoy the drama from the sidelines.

"Hela..." Frigga stuttered out in fear and tried to back away from Hela but the wall behind Frigga is kind of stopping her... Stop that you dumb woman...!! There is a fucking wall behind you... and you aren't intangible like certain people I know.

"I am hurt mother... aren't you happy that I am back?" Hela said with a mock hurt look on her face and started to approach Frigga... seeing no other way, Frigga pulled out a small knife from her robes, Hela stopped when she saw the knife, for a couple of seconds, she stared blankly at the knife.

I was having a blast... I was continuously munching on popcorn... after staring at the knife for a few seconds, Hela finally burst out laughing... "Please don't tell me that you are going to fight me... tell me, mother, what are you going to do with that pesky toy?" Hela asked her mother while she continued laughing.

Frigga simply flinched when she saw Hela's laughing like that... once again I was being ignored but I didn't mind it... there is a huge possibility that I really learned Drax's ability to turn invisible... Fuck all that!! I have more pressing matters in front of me...

[POV Hela]

Is my beloved mother making fun of me or does she want to fight me?? Does she want to defeat me with that butter knife? I wonder if that old coward had addled her brains during a romp in the sheets...

"Impossible... How did you escape?" my mother asked me fearfully while she was still pointing that butter knife towards me... for someone like me, that thing is nothing more than a butter knife.

"A certain someone helped me..." I said and gestured towards Reo... the fuck is he eating?? He simply waved at both of us... Frigga also turned her head to look towards Reo and her eyes grew wide... looks like my beloved mother recognizes him.

"Hello, Frigga..." Reo said and started eating whatever he has been eating. My mother didn't know what to say... she simply gulped down in fear.

"Looks like you know him... but enough about him... I have heard that you had another son after me... well, you would have two sons but Odin recently made your son kill the adopted one, didn't he?" I asked with a huge grin on my face. Frigga's face contorted in rage... but she didn't snap... Pity... I was expecting her to attack me.

"Don't talk about them, you monster!!" my mother screamed in rage... she started to craft a teleportation circle behind her back but I didn't stop her... I will allow her to do whatever she wants.

"Wrong... I am not a monster... I am the Goddess of Death and War... you and father are the ones who made me what I am... aren't you proud of yourself, mother?" I asked and started to release my bloodthirst and with a flash, my mother disappeared.

I stopped releasing my bloodlust and Reo finally approached me with a thoughtful look on his face and offered me whatever he has been eating. I took some of these puffy things and put them in my mouth... hmm... crunchy... I like it. "What are these things called?" I asked him.

"Popcorn... by the way, what do you mean Odin made Thor kill Loki?" Reo asked me in a serious tone.

So, it is called popcorn, I will have some more after I finish my visits... "Well, I have heard this from Death... this is how I found out about Zelia..." with that I started to tell him what Death has told me. We were already walking towards the Throne room. His expressions kept changing during the story but he didn't say anything.

"Do you want to fight them?" I asked him curiously.

"Nah... If I fight, I would end up killing them" he said with a grin on his face and I simply nodded my head. It is quite surprising that all these halls are empty... my mother must have informed my brother about my visit... after all, Zelia had sent her puppet Odin into hiding.

The two of us finally arrived in front of the throne room... I kicked the doors open and they blew away from the hinges and slammed to the sides... huge cracks formed throughout the Throne Room and the fake roof finally started to collapse...

Everyone inside the room were running around like headless chickens trying to avoid the collapsing room... the roof finally stopped collapsing and everyone stopped running around... only now everyone noticed that it was a fake roof... everyone finally noticed the illustrations under the fake roof... ah... I really miss those times... glory days.

I finally noticed a tall blond man hugging my mother protectively... he must be my brother... he is also carrying a puny hammer... "Mother, I thought that you would arrange a better welcoming ceremony for me... that is why I allowed you to leave" I said in a dramatic manner.

This brought everyone out of their trance... as soon as their eyes landed on me, once again, they looked up to confirm things... can't they think fast?? "It looks like you have finally confirmed who I am... well let me introduce myself to all of you..." I said and started to walk towards the centre of the Throne Room.

"I am Hela... the Goddess of Death and War, my fool of a father and mother tried really hard to hide my existence as all of you can see..." I said while pointing towards the roof and everyone gulped once again. I am sorely disappointed... the quality of Asgardian soldiers has really dropped... during my glory days, we didn't have a place for cowards in our army.

"Sister... we need to discuss this calmly... there is no need to fight..." my brother spoke up gently but he was standing in front of my mother protectively.

"What do you mean by discuss brother?? I just came to Asgard to see my birthplace once again and maybe meet my mother and father... well that ancient coward is already gone so nothing could be done there" I said while shaking my head and pointed towards the empty throne.

"My father is not a coward...!!" Thor screamed in rage but didn't attack. But some Asgardians did start to surround me. They looked like warriors but they were simply jokes.

"Why don't you ask our beloved mother... last time. he sacrificed the Valkyries to buy himself some time... I wonder who he is going to sacrifice this time..." I said and murmurs broke out in the room. A lot of soldiers looked towards their Queen, who was trying her best to avoid everyone's gazes.

"Lies!!" Thor bellowed out and threw his lightning coated hammer towards me... I simply stopped the hammer with my hand like it was nothing. (A/N: Like she did in the movies). Everyone stared in complete disbelief... "Impossible..." Thor said with clear disbelief etched on his face.

"Dear brother... you have no idea what's possible..." I said and grabbed the hammer's handle... the hammer stopped releasing lightning... the hammer denied to activate in her hands... I simply forced my will into the hammer and lightning crackled from the hammer, surrounding my whole body.

"Impossible... this is not possible..." my mother said with a horrified look on her face... everyone backed away when the lightning started to burst out of me erratically... so, this is the power of Thunder. Obviously, I didn't gain his divinity but I can use the power of thunder now that I am the owner of the hammer.

But it is pretty useless so I threw the hammer to Thor's feet... power should be yours... you shouldn't rely on a weapon to give you powers... because if you lose the weapon then you also lose the power... "Come on... pick it up... show me how strong you are or are you simply a coward just like our father??" I mocked Thor it worked like a charm.

Lightning radiated from Thor's body and he lunged towards while pulling back his fist... "My father is not a coward!!!" he bellowed and he punched towards me but once again... I surprised him once again when I caught his fist still coated in lightning... his whole body was covered in lightning.

"Weak" I said with clear disdain in my voice and slapped Thor... all of his lightning disappeared into thin air and his body slammed on the floor... I leaned back and dodged a sword slash from a woman...

I simply balled my fist and I smashed my fist on her sternum... her breastplate took the most damage and a fist-sized dent formed right in the centre. She spat out a mouthful of blood and she was still blown away like the garbage she was.

A tall man with a long beard came from behind me a swung down his giant battle-axe... but before his battle-axe could reach me he dropped on the ground and his blood splattered everywhere... Nobody except Reo saw me move but now I had a blood soaked sword in my hand. Slow... they are so slow that it is pathetic.

"Aren't you two going to attack me?? I thought you were on the same team..." I said looking towards two men... one of them was carrying a rapier while the other held a mace in his hands

"Don't bother... I am bored... if this is what Asga..." all of a sudden I was interrupted when I felt a lightning coated fist coming towards me... I grabbed the fist once again and this time I slammed my fist on Thor's face... looks like the slap wasn't enough.

I punched him again and blood splattered between Thor's feet... when I punched him for the fourth time a loud crunch was heard and I felt his jaw was dislocated. After that, I simply dropped him... "Yes, just like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I am disappointed with Asgard if this was the best they could offer me" I said coldly and opened my hand.

Thor's hammer flew into my hand... "As reparation for disappointing me... I will take this hammer with me..." I said and started to walk out of the Throne Room when I stopped. "Mother let's have some tea the next time" I said looking towards my mother.

Then my eyes turned towards my bloodied brother. "I hope you grow stronger and don't believe in the shit mother and father spout every time they open their mouths... until next time brother" I said and walked out of the Throne Room to find that Reo was already waiting for me while eating popcorn.

I grabbed some popcorn and threw them into my mouth... I like popcorn. "So, do you want to visit any more places?" Reo asked me and I hummed in agreement.

"Yes... I still need to greet my beloved father... and there is one more thing I need before leaving Asgard" I said with a smile on my face and Reo simply grinned cheerfully...
