There might be still an Apokolis connection, see Black Reign. So staying to investigate it makes sence.

Interesting. Vandal Savage is confirmed neutralized? And Collin/Satanus is just another asshole in need of ambush summoning. Even if the Ace of Winchesters doesn't work Teth Adom with the Sword of the Second and Third should do nicely.

I mean, Brain remains as useful as ever for the Light, so Luther probably wants to stay on good terms with him, especially now that he's learning magic.
I think its more likely that he's still in Valhalla with Klarion, and they'll be involved in a future episode.

"Neutralized" in that he's probably being used as a ball in Odin's Croquet game

He "escaped" there when OL brought the pain on the watchtower.
Signs point to it not going well for either of them.

No shit, the Norse afterlife has a less than fond view of cowardice. And magic.
And Vandal's..... well, let's just say everything he's done.
What in the world was that last one?
Now imagine that combined with someone taking the Tim Taylor engineering approach... Some things should not have "more power"... And "personal massage devices" are the least of the NSFW goodness that can fit that category.

Hmm... What I'm getting from this is, once Satanus makes an appearance and is subsequently Dealt With, the overarching Light plot will essentially come to an end since the only remaining members will be Lex, Brain, and Klarion. Since Lex is basically going to get nearly everything he wants anyways by going legit, Brain really gets nothing out of an insane Lord of Chaos who basically made their situation worse at one point (aside from magic, but he's already figuring that stuff out on his own), and Klarion is fucking Klarion, I see The Light collapsing on its own after a few more incidents. Really, I'd bet the remaining members are wondering what the hell they're gonna get out of it at this point. Possibly literally.

What? Why would they have less than fond view of magic?
Ocean Master/Orm is probably alive again after his body's mysterious disappearance.
Temporarily; apparently his body is trying to regrow while being gnawed on by hyenas and it isn't going well.

It's generally seen as womanly and dishonorable. Odin using it is one of the weird parts of his legend, which some think hints at him being derived from an older female/hermaphodite god, like how Zeus was 'pregnant' twice (Dionysus and Athena)

Well, I have heard the 'fucksaw' story from Tara (Of Radio Dead Air/What The Fuck Is Wrong With You) and I know some people put dildos on electric drills...to whom I say get a Hitachi Magic Wand, you idiots.
So I guess he saw the bad end of one or the other.

Odin did sacrifice an eye for knowledge, but unlike Loki he was also a strong warrior. Him NOT using magic would be weird since he is very knowleable.
Marvel interpretation was not that they despised Loki for using magic, bit basicaly for not being a good warrior without it. He also resorted to lies and trickery a tad too much.

So only women could use magic and men who used it were viewed as dishonorable. Why would the norse afterlife have a "less than fond view of magic" still?

There are a few gasps as the engines roar into life. Clio doesn't gasp, but she does look a little worried. "Is it supposed to do that?"
"Yes, Clio. The device which propels this plane is essentially a fan which turns at tremendous speed. The turbofan which propels this plane is actually quite quiet compared to a lot of them."
Clio looks back to where three of her players have their hands over their ears. "This is quiet?"
"They'll get quieter once we reach cruising speed." Really, we're lucky that Batman had a vertical take off and landing executive jet he wanted to show off. Themyscira has never had a normal runway. The Baroness was the only local who would have wanted one, and she was already building VTOL aircraft when she came here. "At the moment we're being held aloft by thrust alone. Once we get going, a lot of the lift will come from the shape of the wings instead."
"I see." She averts her eyes for a moment. "Do you.. know how long that will take?"
"A few minutes." I look past her to the other seats. "There are.. headphones,- " I mime pulling them over my ears. "-if you want to put those on?"
The women who had been covering their ears sheepishly lower their hands as I generate a construct showing the external view of our aircraft. "You can see the direction of our thrust by the angle of these bits here." The room flickers with yellow but they all hold firm. Even though most of the women here are actresses, they come from a warrior culture. Showing discomfort might be alright, but voicing fear -particularly in front of a man- most certainly isn't. "If there are any questions you would like to ask, just shout them out."
"When can we take these-" One of the Amazons whose name I don't know tugs at hers. "-belts off?"
"Once we're fully transitioned to forward flight, though you may have to put them back on again if we run into turbulence." Even as I say the last word I realise my error as the eyes of all of the passengers -save Io- immediately turn to me.
"Turbulence?"
"Powerful winds." Slight flickers of yellow again. "Strong winds in one direction aren't a problem, the plane just moves with it. Strong winds which rapidly change direction might result in the plane shaking a little. You've all been on boats, right?" A couple of nods, so I make a point of making eye contact and smiling at the rest of them until I get a smile or a nod back. "Same basic idea."
"And if there is a storm?"
"There are small cameras all over our flight path-" I remove the plane construct and replace it with a larger one of the Earth and the weather monitoring satellites. "-that are telling Diana where the storms are so that we can fly around them. If for some reason we can't, then either we get a little shaken up but fly through it, or the plane is damaged and I stick an orange shield around it and fly us to New York myself."
Zosime frowns. "Would it not have been easier to do that from the start?"
"Yes, but that wasn't the deciding criterion. Aside from Io, none of you are familiar with advanced technology. Aside from Mala and Io, none of you have been outside Themyscira's wards in centuries. You're here to get a little immersion before you have to be surrounded by it, in what I hope is-"
There's a chime, and a corresponding pulse of yellow.
"-relaxing company." I point upwards with my right forefinger. "That -I'm afraid- is something else you'll have to get used to: weird and annoying beeps, chimes and sirens. Ah, when I say 'sirens' I don't mean the bird-women, I mean… Like your alarm bell, but more annoying. That one just means that you can unbuckle your belts now." I unbuckle mine and stand up. "The flight should last about eleven hours and I will be serving dinner in three. Feel free to sleep, rehearse, or watch a film." Blank looks. "Right. That window like thing in front of your seat is capable of showing recorded images. Away from Themyscira, these have more or less replaced plays as a form of mass entertainment."
Looks of shock and horror.
"Think about it: they allow an actor or actress of paramount skill to display their performance to more people than could watch it in person. Or allow a manager to show their performance to many people without having to hire a new troupe for every location, or employ them after the recording is made." That explanation gets nods and a few quiet laughs.
Dalma raises her right hand. "I have a question?"
"Ask away."
"Will.. there.. be a great many men in New York?"
"About half the city's population, yes."
"Ah, well, yes. But.. will we be interacting with them? Will they be in the audience when we perform?"
"Yes. I do hope that I haven't completely put you off modern men."
"No! No, of course not. I'm just not sure what the protocol is." She runs her right hand through her hair. "It has.. been a while."
Another round of laughter. "Dionysia isn't until next week."
"I didn't mean like-."
"I do." Everyone turns to… Don't know her name. "Um. I don't mean… I was just wondering what the customs were?"
"Since you're essentially going as diplomatic envoys, I've rather sort of been assuming that you'd be focusing your passions in the acting." Giggles and a snort that time. "I'm not sure what to suggest. I've never tried dating a man before. When compared to how things worked in the Old City, the relationship is more one between individuals rather than between families-."
"But you have tried dating the women, yes?" Another woman whose name I don't know.
"In point of fact… Not really. You-?"
"Are you sworn to Artemis? Must you keep yourself pure lest your powers be taken from you?"
I bow my head slightly, allowing my cheeks to colour. "Quite the opposite, actually. But getting back to the point, I should emphasise that America is heteronormative. Most women are only interested in men, and vice versa. If they show an interest in you, that's fine, but you probably shouldn't show too much interest in them." I make a point of looking directly at the questioner. "Attempts to liberate these Persians-" A few astonished snorts and the woman who asked is covering her face with her hands in astonishment. "-will most likely not be well received. Honestly though, I'd leave off the whole thing until you're more familiar with the culture yourself. I don't particularly want to get involved in a custody battle."
Clio frowns. "A what?"
"As a heteronormative society, men and women share responsibility for raising their children, as well as… 'Ownership' of them. If one of you became pregnant the father would probably expect to stay in contact and have regular input into their upbringing. Of course, if you did decide to become intimate with a man, there are any number of devices which could be employed to avoid pregnancy."
One woman in the third row nudges the woman next to her, makes a fist with her right hand and wiggles her tongue at it.
"For more details, inquire of the lady there."

So, um, given the WoG that Greyvan is going to wind up marrying Blackfire and the Date Night episode apparently being Jade-heavy, is it crazy that I think we're going to see ParaPaul and Jade become a thing? Because Paul and Jade have great chemistry and I'm gonna be disappointed if Jade drops off the face of the fic.
