Hulk's ball rolls into frame. An off screen grunt. y/n picks it up and tosses it back to Hulk, playing catch with him.
Valkyrie: Then it grew beyond Odin's control, she massacred everyone in the palace and tried to seize the throne. When she tried to escape her banishment, he sent the Valkyrie in to fight her back. I only survived because... look, I already faced her once back when I believed in the throne, and it cost me everything. THAT'S what's wrong with Asgard. The throne, the secrets, the whole golden sham.
Thor moves towards Valkyrie, goes to put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Thor: I agree.
Val snatches his hand. They are close, face to face.
Valkyrie: Don't get familiar.
They hear a scream, Hulk hits y/n too hard with the ball and y/n goes flying into the wall.
Thor: I agree. That's why I turned down the throne. But this isn't about the crown. This is about the people. They're dying and they're you're people, too.
Val shoves him away. Thor stumbles back.
Valkyrie: Forget it. I have.
Thor: Okay.
Valkyrie: Okay.
Thor: Good. Great.
Valkyrie: Great.
y/n: Thank you.
Valkyrie: For what?
y/n: For this.
In actuality, Hulk knocking y/n back was purely intentional, giving y/n the opportunity to swipe the fob device off Val's belt.
y/n: Didn't see that did you?
y/n presses the button and the obedience discs in y/n and Thor's necks power down and fall off. They both wear confident smirks.
Thor: There... that's better. You know, go ahead. Stay here and get drunk and enslave people for that lunatic. Keep drinking. Keep hiding. But me...
Thor gestures for Hulk to toss him the ball. Hulk does.
Thor: I choose to run toward my problems and not away from them. Because that's what-
Thor hurls it at the main window- It bounces off, hitting Thor in the face. y/n walks over and picks up the ball, facing Valkyrie.
y/n: Because that's what heroes do.
Thor then smashes through the window and y/n follows. Hulk stands.
Hulk: Friends Stay!
Thor and y/n are sliding down the side of the Grandmaster's tower. They launch themselves off the tower and hurtle downward, landing casually on the street below. Finally free. Never slowing down, they keep the top of the arena in sight. A few blocks back: Hulk is in pursuit. He's bumping people, swatting vehicles out of the way, just being a menace. On Sakaar, the citizens applaud for him! Even when Hulk demolishes a man's food cart, the man cheers Hulk on! Thor sprints in with y/n behind him. They run down aisles of crushed and stripped spacecrafts, a giant smelter, and then into what looks like a used car lot. And then they see it. The Quinjet! They enter and rush to the controls.
Thor: All right. Come on.
He is pressing buttons and flipping switches. After a beat the flight deck powers up. Thor places his hand on a pad which scans his handprint. It lights up green.
