"Agent Coulson, we've set up the perimeter as you requested. What next?" Agent Ariel Jackson asked once she was back next to her commanding officer.
"We've brought in a team of excellent scientists to study the weapon and until they have an answer or we can find a way to move it, we wait," he replied, "Get comfortable."
Ariel nodded, "Yes Sir. I'll take the post near the hammer. Is Hawkeye watching the hammer?" she asked one final question.
"In his perch," Coulson said with a nod before walking away.
Ariel sighed as she walked away and took her post on the perimeter waiting for her next set of orders.
She looked up at Hawkeye and wondered how he could stand being up so high all the time but she never dares to speak to him because he only opened up to Natasha. She looked down through the hanging drapes of plastic and began to wonder about the hammer. Why was SHIELD so interested in it? And, more importantly, why could no one move it?
Her thought were interrupted by the sound of gunfire on the outermost part of their perimeter. Ariel readied her gun and watched for the intruder to work their way through to her and Clint. She doubted her super strength would be useful against someone who believed the hammer belonged to them.
She took a deep breath as she waited to see what would happen next. A muscular man with blond shoulder length hair came barreling through the plastic and straight toward Ariel.
"Want me to take him out?" Clint asked over his comm.
Ariel shook her head as she braced for impact. He ran straight into her and pushed her back just slightly as she planted her feet and stabilized. Once she was set, she reared back her fist and placed a firm hit to the man's temple sending him backwards. He stumbled only slightly before his eye caught the hammer.
Ariel and Clint watched as the man jumped down into the dirt and walked up to it, placing his hands on the handle before pulling. The hammer didn't budge which caused the man to yell out anger.
"Clint, drop him," Coulson's voice came over their earpieces.
Clint nodded before shooting a tranquilizer arrow straight into the assailant's hip, sending him facedown in the mud.
Ariel sighed as she moved forward to put him in cuffs and get some help to place him in a cell, 'Don't wake up, buddy,' she thought to herself as she got to work, the others more timid about assisting her.
Ariel got their prisoner in his cell, locked in tight, as he woke, "How dare you chain me up?" he growled.
She smiled, "They're handcuffs, hardly chains, and you brought this on yourself. You took out half of our men," she informed him, "I'm not your interrogator, though so I'll leave you be. What's your name?" she asked before leaving, purely out of curiosity.
"I am Thor," he answered confidently.
"The God of Thunder?" she asked, she'd majored in Norse mythology in college and still didn't know how SHIELD came to learn about her.
He nodded, "Yes and you will be punished when my warriors find out that I am locked up here. My hammer will return to me."
She nodded, "Sounds good. I look forward to the fight."
