" It feels wrong.'
'Hmmm?'
'Sending you out there, Thor. It feels wrong.'
'How might that be?'
'Well...I'm staying here to fix the Avengers while you're...'
'Undergoing a different trial.'
'I'm just saying...The auger is going to throw all of you to the other side of the multiverse. Tens of thousands of Universes away.'
'Sounds very far.'
'You certainly don't measure the distance in miles. Regardless...I stay here and try and fix the Avengers--a group of which you were a founding member...'
'While I go to smite at the very heart of what caused...all this. I wish you well in repairing the dream, Roberto...I hope that when the moment comes, my will is as steady as yours. My heart as righteous. Soon...we shall see.'
'Thor.'
'Yes?'
'You understand, right? There's no coming back. You're all going to die out there.'
'Aye. It is an end. But to die...striking down the great destroyer? That would be a fitting one. So if you pray, pray that I am not found wanting...and instead am worthy of such a glorious end. "
