| 0:00.0 | Hey Jay is Mirage still a Valkyrie? |
| 0:03.0 | Not at the moment, at least that I know of. |
| 0:05.0 | Is that the kind of job you can really quit? |
| 0:07.0 | It's more the kind you can lose. |
| 0:09.0 | Because of MDE, I know she lost her mutant powers, but I thought the Valkyrie thing was unconnected. |
| 0:13.2 | It was. She lost her connection to Asgard when it fell. |
| 0:16.2 | Okay, that makes sense. But wait a minute, wasn't she a Valkyrie during dark rain? |

| 0:27.4 | Hella to get those powers temporarily. |
| 0:30.0 | With Hella? |

| 0:46.0 | The desir? |
| 0:47.0 | Valquaries of Boer that's Odin's dad, |
| 0:49.0 | cursed after eating the flesh of gods. |
| 0:51.0 | So like as Guardian Wendigos. Not... Well, you know, actually, yeah, kind of. Anyway, the Desirir had been locked |
| 0:56.9 | away, but they were raised again by the deaths of God's in New Asgard since part of their |
| 1:00.3 | curse was that they could only eat the shades of God's exiled from their true homes, so you know, dinner bell. |
| 1:05.0 | Wait, how's that work? I thought you said that gods were in Asgard. |
