In Hel, Hela, Goddess of Death, is notified by the priestess Volla that one she has long awaited might soon be hers. Hela is hoping for Thor but it turns out to be Hogun. Close enough and Hela teleports to Central Park where Hogun’s comrades surround him. Thor threatens Hela but she insists Hogun is dead. True, his heart has stopped and Thor, drawing on his medical knowledge, wishes he had a defibrillator to restart Hogun’s heart. Instead, he calls down lightning strikes, twice, which restores the fallen hero’s heart. Hela notes that she will not be far away, waiting. An ambulance arrives and the EMT is Christine Collins, amazed to see gods. Thor asks her to take Hogun to the hospital and summon Jane Foster who has experience in treating gods. Fandral and Volstagg accompany Hogun while Thor goes after the Wrecking Crew. As they leave, Christine realizes that Thor knew her name….
