I watched over Thor protectively as several men struggled to get him onto some sort of small transportation device that he dwarfed, looking up at the small, fragile looking building before us uncertainly.

"This is where you keep your human healers," I asked Jane, unsure whether or not Thor could be adequately taken care of here.

She led me into the building and put me before a woman sitting behind a desk. "Hi, we were involved in a car accident I called in about. This woman is with the man we found in the desert," she said, the woman behind the desk smiling at me before looking at my forehead. "Oh, honey, you're injured as well- but first let me get your companion's name."

"His name is Thor Odin-son, god of thunder, prince of Asgard and heir to the throne," I replied confidently, the woman giving me a strange look. I looked over my shoulder as Thor was wheeled away, nervous about letting him out of my sight for even a second in this strange new world. "And your relationship to the god of thunder?"

"We are to be married," I smiled, Jane and Darcy both looking at me.

After we had dealt with the questioning woman, we sat in a room full of people, the man sighing beside me. "You know, we have no idea who you are either," he said, turning to face me.

"I am Halea-"

"The goddess of war," he asked, chuckling until I gave him a severe look. "Yes. Well, then I am Erik Selvig, scientist."

I extended my hand and nodded, "Nice to meet you Erik."

We waited for what seemed like hours until I was allowed to see Thor, finding him still on the strange bed, tied down with straps, and dressed now in a short gown that left him virtually naked. I ran my fingers up his bare calf before moving up to grasp his hand and kiss his forehead, "Oh Thor, my sweet boy."

A woman dressed in white came in and I watched as she inserted a needle into his arm. "Hi, I'm just here to get a little blood. We need to run some tests," she whispered as Thor began to stir. I reached over and slapped the weapon from her hand angrily, "Get away from him! How dare you attack the son of Odin?"

Thor attempted to sit up at the sound of my anger, struggling against the throngs that held him down.

"Halea," he said, panic rising in his voice.

"I need some help!"

Two other men raced into the room and attempted to hold Thor down, the woman trying to reason with him. "We're trying to help you- both of you," she said, holding one of my arms as I attacked the men who threatened my betrothed.

"Then bring me healing crystals, you savages," Thor roared, finally freeing himself from his ties. He hurled one of the men across the room just as others came to join the chaos, pushing the bed aside and lashing out with his fists. I joined him before I was taken to the ground, Thor completely losing his mind at the sight of me overpowered. "Get off of her!"

"Calm down," one of the men shouted as they finally got him back onto the strange contraption. From what I could see of his face Thor looked shocked that such a small group of humans could subdue him so easily.

"Thor, Odin-King has stripped us of our powers," I said, struggling briefly before a man knelt at my side.

I felt warmth spread through my being, and then I felt no more.

When I awoke again, I was in a darkened room, tied down much like Thor had been.

I strained against my bonds weakly, tears streaming from my eyes as I realized how hopeless my situation was. My temple ached dully and I winced, trying once more to free myself. "This is not possible," I said, mustering all of my strength and bowing my whole body up. With a quiet cry of triumph, I smiled as one of my hands slipped free of my restraints.

Quickly, I freed myself and searched around my room for a weapon, finding a small, thin dagger.

I walked out into the empty hallway, attempting to orient myself around the building. Once I discovered where I was, I found my way to Thor, entering his room and closing the door behind me. "Thor, we have to go," I whispered, padding across the floor.

"Halea, what is there to do now?"

I looked at him and began to slice at his restraints, "Does the god of thunder find himself weak?"

Thor sat up and glared at me, rubbing his bruised wrists. I took his massive hands in mine and kissed them, looking at the window. "Where will we go love," he asked, looking at me. I smiled and went over to the window, opening it wide enough for both of us to get out.

"We must find Jane."

When we got of the window, I looked around, Thor taking my hand and leading me behind the building from which we had just escaped. I heard yelling voices and we moved towards them, pressed against a wall to avoid being seen. "This is just typical Erik, typical! I just lost my most important pieces of evidence," I heard Jane shout, slamming a door. Thor grinned and pulled me along, both of us rushing out to the metal vehicle that had brought us out of the desert in the first place. "Jane, Erik," I called out, the woman jumping out of the car to look at us. "We need your help. Please."

She looked at Thor and I for a long moment before nodding, "Let's get you some clothes."

We got into the vehicle and Jane began to steer it through the streets of the human city, Thor and I looking at the passing scenery in wonder.

"Everyone is so childlike," Thor murmured, his hand wrapping around mine.

I smiled and nodded, perplexed but just as in awe as he was. "These women dress so strangely…"
