Thor didn't like that. Not one bit.
And things were about to get worse.
[Congratulations to player Billy Butcher for answering first and correctly—awarded 4 points. Player Hugh Campbell, player Annie January, player Stephen Strange, and player Wade Wilson all answered correctly—each receives 1 point]
[Player Thor Odinson answered incorrectly—1 point deducted]
"HAHA! Oh my god, this is delicious," Wade burst out, practically rolling with laughter. "Thor the Almighty Thunder Meathead, ladies and gents! Bro, I gave you the answer gift-wrapped, with glitter, and a playlist titled 'Obvious Answer Vibes'. And you still beefed it!"
He leaned in mock-seriously. "You know what your problem is? Classic himbo overconfidence. It's like a protein shake made out of hubris and shampoo."
Thor's fists clenched tight. He was fuming. He couldn't understand it—he had Zeus's lightning bolt in his hand. Why hadn't that been enough to stop Gorr the God Butcher?
But the screen didn't roll a video reveal. Instead, another question popped up:
[Is Zeus dead?]
[A: Yes
B: No]
Stephen raised an eyebrow. "Didn't we all watch Thor shish-kebab him with his own lightning bolt? Pretty sure that counts as dead."
Thor huffed but stayed silent. He knew the answer this time—but no way he was blurting it out again just to be mocked.
Too bad everyone was reading him like a comic book.
Wade grinned. "Oooooh, you're doing the silent brooding thing. Cute. But heads up, big guy—your face is screaming, 'He's totally alive and probably somewhere oiling up his pecs.'"
Thor's eye twitched.
Then Hughie added thoughtfully, "Honestly, if Zeus were actually dead, they wouldn't even ask this question. So the answer's got to be B."
The rest nodded in agreement. When the countdown started again, everyone lunged for the buzzer—this was free real estate.
Annie got there first.
Wade gave a loud whistle. "Yoooo, go off, Sparkles! Lady Luck strikes again!"
She shot him a cold stare and picked B.
Everyone else followed suit—Thor included. When time was up, no surprises: all correct. Annie netted 4 points, the others picked up 1 each.
Still no video reveal. Just another question, this one more loaded than the last two:
[When Gorr the God Butcher met Eternity, what was his wish?]
[A: To become the Supreme God-King
B: To kill all gods
C: To bring back his daughter
D: To destroy the entire universe]
Three questions in a row. And this one? Definitely trickier. It called for actual emotional analysis—Deadpool's worst nightmare.
Stephen was the first to speak. "Based on what we know, his goal was B—to wipe out every god in existence."
Annie stared at the screen, brow furrowed. "But that wasn't really his personal wish. If he could've chosen freely… I think he would've brought back his daughter."
Thor nodded slowly. "Gorr was under the Necrosword's curse. But… I swore I'd stop him, no matter what. So yeah, I hope the answer is C."
Anything else—A, B, or D—meant his future self had failed. That was something Thor refused to accept.
The others hesitated, glancing at one another as the countdown began. No one made a move.
Until Wade.
He stepped forward, hit the buzzer with dramatic flair, and declared: "I choose... C! Love conquers all, baby!"
Then he turned toward Thor and added with finger guns, "Also? 10/10 on your Interstellar Norse Daddy road trip. Can't wait for the sequel: 'Thor: Love & Side Quests.' Heard Natalie Portman crushes it."
If literally anyone else had said that—someone normal, like Annie—Thor might've been touched. But from Wade, with his annoying smirk and voice like a fart in a leather suit?
It was like biting into chocolate that looked like crap, tasted like crap, but technically wasn't crap. Still left Thor wanting to hurl.
That said… Wade had lit the fuse.
Encouraged, Stephen, Thor, and Annie all locked in C before the timer hit zero.
Hughie and Billy chose B.
Hughie had leaned toward C originally. Gorr's raw grief—cradling his dead daughter—had really stuck with him. And like Wade said, he wanted the story to end well.
But Billy wasn't interested in happy endings.
His eyes were sharp and cold. "Listen up, mate. Those smug, self-obsessed gods? They're no different from the supes at Vought. Shiny on the outside, filthy underneath. Parasites in capes."
His intensity freaked Hughie out a little. He had no idea what triggered that kind of rage.
But to Billy, it was obvious. Those smug gods on the screen? They were no different from the so-called heroes at Vought: shiny on the outside, rotten underneath.
He was Gorr, in a way. And Gorr's choice had to be B.
Hughie, swept up in Billy's fury, reluctantly followed his lead.
But the moment the answers locked in and he saw everyone else had picked C, unease settled over him.
And sure enough, the result came in:
[Correct answer: C — To bring back his daughter.]
[Congratulations to player Wade Wilson for the fastest correct answer—4 points awarded.
Player Thor Odinson, player Annie January, and player Stephen Strange each receive 1 point]
[Player Billy Butcher and player Hughie Campbell answered incorrectly—1 point deducted]
Hughie slumped. "I knew we should've gone with my gut…"
Billy just sneered. "God Butcher, my arse. He's just another weak, sniveling coward."
Annie had enough.
She turned on him, eyes blazing. "Wanting to bring back his daughter doesn't make him weak—it means he loved her more than anything. If that makes someone a coward… then what does that make you?"
