The noncommittal answer seemed to be all the evidence Hel needed to proceed. Imagine, running into someone who likely had knowledge of poisons and could have been the one responsible for poisoning the rivers in Helheim so soon. She wouldn't kill her- not at first. What she needed most was the antidote. That wouldn't stop her from getting in some strikes in the meantime to weaken her opponent. Hel would get her to talk, no matter what, she needed to purify the water and rescue her people. People who had already lived their lives and deserved a peaceful afterlife. Of all the deplorable things to do, targeting the dead. There would be no forgiveness for it. Hel preferred a position more in the middle, someone with a higher defense in front to guard her while she dealt out heavier blows from her magic, and someone at the aft to fire off their own ranged attacks. It was more balanced that way for a team. A team? What need would she have for anyone else's help when she was capable on her own? "It is your belief that we all spontaneously passed through a portal to this land?" What nonsense. "Destroy us...?"
More visions flashed before her eyes but she wasn't sure exactly where they were coming from. Asgard was in flames, and Midgard was almost completely obliterated. Ragnarok. It could only be. Hel shook her head. "You're trying to confuse me." Worst of all it seemed to be working.
The fanwork is impressive, and Hel might have attested to as much if the circumstances were different. It took great skill to turn a seemingly ordinary object into a useful deflection tool. Right now, she would have rather knocked it from those slim fingers so it would no longer be a distraction.
When she was forced to stop the woman's words muddled around in her mind. Parts of them were familiar, and others were foreign. Trying to recall the last few moments she saw flashes of the researchers, the waving of wands, and then there was a random image of Nidhogg slap in the middle of everything. "No......"
"No, no no....." She repeated shaking her head. "It wasn't the humans...." Fighting the urge to drop to her knees, she was able to see the academy with clarity. "What have I been..." Then she focused on the other girl, with her defensive stance. Had there been a fight? "I know that." To the portion about being a student at Diatu. "What exactly were you protecting them from?" It was evident that she was only catching bits and pieces but Hel was trying not to show herself to be anymore vulnerable than she already had.
