Loki heads into the Vault, sees the Casket of Ancient Winters sitting on its stand. He walks over to it slowly, reaches out to it, lifts it between his forearms off its pedestal. As he does, a blueness spreads from his arms, across his body.The latticework behind the Casket starts to separate, the Destroyer rousing. A fire starts to glow within its black metal armor, as it rattles to life, but Loki ignores it – the blueness spreading further, consuming his whole body.
"Stop!" Odin shouted.
Loki turns, sees Odin hurrying into the room, the Destroyer goes motionless, the latticework rejoining before it. Odin eyes Loki with dismay.
"Am I cursed?" Loki questioned.
"No. Put the Casket down." Odin replied.
Loki sets the Casket back upon its pedestal, his body quickly returning to its normal form and color. He stares at his father.
"What am I?" Loki asked in a curious tone.
"You're my son." Odin Said Sincerely.
"What more than that?" Loki started. Odin doesn't answer. He looks suddenly weary, burdened. Loki sizes him up, realizes the truth.
"The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?" Loki finished.
Odin looks him in the eye. He can deny it no longer. "No." Odin answered. "In the aftermath of the battle, I went into the Temple, and I found a baby. Small for a giant's offspring – abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufey's son."
Loki is sent reeling by the revelation. "Laufey's son…" Loki trailed off as he desperately struggles to make sense of it all. "Why? You were knee-deep in Jotun blood. Why would you take me?"
"You were an innocent child." Odin replied.
"No you took me for a purpose, what was it?"
Odin doesn't answer. "Tell me!" Loki shouted.
"I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day, bring about an alliance, bring about a permanent peace… through you. But those plans no longer matter." Odin explained.
"So I am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me." Loki expressed.
"Why do you twist my words?" Odin asked.
"You could have told me what I was from the beginning. Why didn't you?" Loki urged Odin for the truth.
"You are my son. My blood. I wanted only to protect you from the truth." Odin stressed.
"Because I am the monster parents tell their children about at night?" Loki proclaimed loudly.
"Don't…" Odin trailed off.
"It all makes sense now. Why you favored Thor all these years." Loki shouted.
"Listen…" Odin wheedled.
"Because no matter how much you claim to "love me," you could never have a Frost Giant sitting on the Throne of Asgard!" Loki yelled.
Odin's body begins to shake, he lifts his hand. It starts to move out of synch temporarily, leaving a trail, the effect of the Odinsleep approaching. Loki doesn't notice as Odin tries to fight it off.
"Listen to me!" Odin shouted. Loki strides away towards the exit. "Loki!" Odin starts towards him, when the enormous mental, emotional, and physical strain of recent events finally takes its toll. The effect of the Odinsleep consumes him. His entire body now moves out of sync with the rest of the world, leaving trails behind him as he staggers backwards. Odin falls back against a wall, his face contorting in a scream. He collapses to the stone floor. Loki, shocked, hurries to him. He takes Odin in his arms, calls out. "Guards!"
Cars, pick-ups, and SUVs are parked around the crater, the sound of a boisterous party coming from within. It looks like the whole town has turned out. Locals sit on lounge chairs, drink beer from coolers, laugh and talk. They watch the center of the crater, where large men have formed a line to take a turn with the mysterious object. One of them struggles and fails to lift it. As he gives up, the next man steps up and takes his turn, straining from the effort. Other Townies snap pictures of the scene with their cell phones.
They hear an approaching rumble, then clear a path as a large pick up truck backs its way down the crater's edge. An eager townie hops out the passenger side and pulls a thick chain from the back of the truck. He fastens one end around the object, then securely affixes the chain to the bumper and the rear of the undercarriage.
"This'll do it." He yells to the driver. "Okay, let 'er rip!"
The townsfolk watch as the pick-up's engine roars, then strains, its wheels spinning futilely, until finally the rear of the truck, along with the back wheels and axles, break off and go flying.
People dive out of the way. The pick-up driver sticks his head out. He is STAN "THE MAN" LEE. He looks back, shocked. The townsfolk laugh, the party continuing. They don't notice as –on The Crater's Edge above them An imposing Government vehiclepulls up to a stop.
A Fed in a suit climbs out, peers down at the boisterous gathering Below, his eyes fixed on the object at the center of the crater. He is is Shield agent Coulson. He stares down at the object which glows with an otherworldly blue energy – Mjolnir. He pulls out a phone.
"Sir – we've found it." Coulson says into the phone.
In a back room, Thor, now shirtless and wearing jeans, looks around for a t-shirt. Jane, Robin, and Darcy, standing in the lab, can't help but notice his reflection in the mirror. Darcy eyes his powerful build,rippling biceps.
"You know, for a crazy homeless guy, he's pretty cut." Darcy commented.
"He's not a homeless guy well technically he is right now." Y/n explained well at least try to.
Jane turns away. Thor emerges from the back room, holding a t-shirt.
"Hey, sorry I tased you!" Darcy you called out and Robin laughs.
Thor heads over to Jane's work area, starts fiddling with the equipment there with interest. Jane hurries over to put a stop to it.
"Excuse me… excuse me!" Jane yelped as She leads him away from the work station. Thor holds up the t-shirt. On the front, it bear a sticker which reads- hello my name is Dr. Donald Blake. Thor looks at it, puzzled. Jane rips the sticker off.
"My ex." Jane started. Thor stares at her a beat. "They're the only clothes I had that'll fit you. Sorry."
"They will suffice." Thor replied as turns, his attention to the pictures of the Bifrost on the wall.
"You're welcome. Now tell me…" Thor studies the frame-grabs with interest. Jane points to his form in the Bifrost photo. "What were you doing, in that?" Jane asked.
He glances at it, dismissive. "What does anyone do in the Bifrost?" Thor asked.
"Portal?" Robin answered with a smile.
Everyone stares at Thor and Robin. Erik seems to recognize the word. Jane opens her notebook, quickly writes the word down. Thor moves close to her, eyes the notations and drawings within the book, curious.
"The Bifrost…" Erik said in amused but also skeptical way.
Jane starts to get uncomfortable with Thor standing so close to her, looking over her notations. She quickly closes the book.
"What exactly is the Bifrost?" Jane questioned.
"This mortal form has grown weak." Thor announced.
"But–Somebody get the mortal a Pop-Tart." Jane noted.
Frigga sits at her husband's bedside, holding his hand. Odin lies there – looking pale and lifeless, his body and the space around it warped from the effect of the Odinsleep. The walls of the chamber have moved close around him, protecting him like a dark crypt, sealing off any daylight. Loki sits at Odin's side, across from Frigga. She speaks softly to him. "I asked him to be honest with you from the beginning. There should be no secrets in a family."
"So why did he lie?" Loki wondered.
"He kept the truth from you so that you would never feel different. You are in every way our son, Loki, and we your family. You must know that." Frigga informed Loki.
Loki takes this in, stares at Odin. "You can speak to him. He can see and hear us, even now."
"How long will it last?" Loki asked.
"I don't know. This time is different. We were unprepared." Frigga answered.
"I never get used to seeing him like this. The most powerful being in the Nine Realms lying helpless until his body is restored." Loki disclosed.
"But he's put it off for so long now, I fear…" Frigga trailed off. Loki takes her hand.
She's grateful, wipes tears from her eyes. "You're a good son." Loki sits there, uncertain how to react, uncertain how he really feels.
"We mustn't lose hope that your father will return to us. And your brother." Frigga told her son.
Loki looks to Frigga, concerned. "What hope is there for Thor?"
There's always a purpose to everything your father does. Thor may yet find a way home." Frigga said without a shadow of doubt.
Loki looks troubled by the revelation. He rises, heads for the exit, when they hear the clatter of armored footsteps hurriedly approaching. The Einherjar guard enter the room, block his way out. Loki tenses, prepared for the worst, but the guards just stand before them. Loki is baffled.
"Thor is banished. The line of succession falls to you. Until he awakens, Asgard is yours." Frigga remarked.
The Einherjar kneel before the shocked Loki. Another Einherjar enters, holding Gungnir before him. He kneels before Loki, offers the spear to him.
"Make your father proud." Frigga proclaimed.
Loki reaches out tentatively, then takes it. He likes the feel of it in his hand.
Thor, Robin,Erik , Darcy, and Jane sit at a table in the local diner. Selvig and Darcy watch as Thor eats ravenously from a huge mound of steak and eggs. A couple other full plates –pancakes and biscuits and gravy – are piled high before him.
Jane's eager, her notebook at the ready.
"Now tell us exactly what happened to you last night." Jane voiced. Thor looks her in the eyes, staring, intrigued. Jane gets flustered, looks away. "Maybe start with how you got inside that cloud."
"And how you could eat an entire box of Pop-Tarts and still be this hungry." Darcy wondered.
"Big man bigger appetite." Robin stated.
Jane shoots Robin and Darcy a withering look. Thor downs a cup of coffee.
"This drink. I like it." Thor announced.
"Yeah, it's great, isn't it? Isabela makes the best coffee in town." Darcy declare Thor.
Thor hurls the empty mug at the ground, shatteringit "Another!" Thor called out.
Isabela, the diner's proprietor, glares at Thor from behind the counter.
"Sorry, Izzy. Little accident." Jane told the older lady.
"Yo voy a pagar la taza." Robin told lzzy (I'm going to pay for the cup.)
Isabela turns to Robin and starts venting quickly in Spanish. "¿Viste eso? ¡La primera vez que trae a un hombre aquí, y él es un lunático!" (Did you see that? The first time she brings a man in here, and he's a lunatic!) Robin is laughing her ass off.
"What was that?" Jane questioned in an irritated voice.
He doesn't understand. The other patrons stare at him.
"It was delicious. I want another." Thor answered.
"Then you should just say so!" Jane proclaimed.
"I just did." Thor Replied.
"I mean ask for it. Nicely." Jane corrected.
"I meant no disrespect." Thor disclose.
"All right, then no more smashing, deal?" Jane told Thor.
"You have my word." Thor promised.
"Good." Jane noted.
A few townies, looking bedraggled, enter and take a seat at the counter. We recognize them from the crater. (Among them is the Drunk Townie Jake, who is not presently drunk.)
"Morning, Pete. Jake." Isabela greet the man.
"The usual, please, Izzy." The man replied. Isabela pours them a couple cups of coffee.
"You missed all the excitement out at the crater." The man told Isabela.
"What crater?" Isabell asked.
Robin and Jane overhear this, exchange a look, turn to the Townies with interest.
"They're saying some kind of satellite crashed in the desert." Pete Answered.
"We were having a good time with it till the Feds showed up, chased us out." Jake explained.
Satellite I think that's Thor's hammer.
"Excuse me, did you say there was a satellite crash?" Jane asked Townies.
"Yep. They said it was radioactive. And I had my hands all over it." Jake confirmed. "I'm probably sterile now."
Thor, unconcerned, prepares to dig into the giant pile of pancakes. Darcy is amazed by the sight.
"Oh my God, this is going on Facebook." Darcy whips out her cellphone. "Smile!" Darcy tote Thor. Thor smiles as she snaps a photo of him and his massive stack of food.
"What did the satellite look like?" Erik Chimed in.
"I don't know nothing about satellites. But it was heavy. Real heavy. Nobody could lift it." Jack. Explained.
This gets Thor's attention. Robin projects one of her thoughts to Thor. It's your hammer Thor.
Thor springs to his feet, heads over to Drunk Townie Jake, and pulls the Townie around to face him.
"Where?!" Thor demanded.
"About twelve miles east of here." Jake answered nervously.
Thor grins, his spirits soaring, as he quickly strides out of the diner with Robin hot on his trail.
"I wouldn't bother! Looked like the whole Army was coming in when we left!" Pete called out to Thor and Robin.
Thor studies the position of the sun, gauging his bearings. Jane, Darcy, and Selvig catch up to him and Robin.
"Where are you two going?" Jane question Thor and Robin.
"Twelve miles east of here." Thor Replied as he follows Robin to her car. Jane walks with him.
"Why? And why are you going with him?" Erik questioned Robin.
"I'm going to helping him." Robin answered. "I...I don't know why but ever since I met him I feel like he's family."
Thor looks over at Robin with a sincere smile.
"You just met him!!" Erik shouted.
"I know!!...I can't explain it ok but I feel need to protect him."
"So your just going to leave?" Jane asked Thor.
"To get what belongs to me." Thor said without missing a beat.
"So now you own a satellite?"Jane questioned sarcastically.
"It's not what they say it is." Thor replied.
"Whatever it is, the government seems to think it's theirs. You intend to just walk in there and take it?" Jane wondered.
"Yes." Thor noted. "If you come with me there now, I'll tell you everything you wish to know."
"Everything?" Jane wondered.
"All the answers you seek will be yours, once I reclaim Mjolnir." Thor told Jane
Darcy looks to the others."Myeu-muh?" What's "Myeu-muh?" Darcy said confuse.
Jane studies Thor.
He looks sincere. She's nearly swayed,when -"Jane. Robin." Erik called for Them.
Erik pulls Jane and Robin aside. Thor can tell that Selvig doesn't much care for him.
"Please don't do this." Erik stressed to Jane and but more to Robin.
"I think we should here him out." Robin said giving a knowing smile at Thor.
"You know what we saw last night. This can't be a coincidence. I want to know what's in that crater." Jane expressed.
"I'm not talking about the crater. I'm talking about him."Erik corrected.
"He's promised us answers." Jane replied.
"He's delusional! Listen to what he's saying! "Thor." "Bifrost." "Mjolnir." These are the stories I grew up with as a child!" Erik explained.
"What if he's telling the truth? What if he really is the God of Thunder." Robin said trying to reason with Erik.
"Really you actually believe him. He hit his head when Jane hit him he's not the god of thunder!!" Erik voiced.
"We just can't abound him you hit him twice I won't do that look i'm not leaving him he needs help and I'm going to help him." Robin declared.
"I'd just be riding with him and Robin out there, that's all." Jane explained.
"It's dangerous. He's dangerous." Erik replied.
"So Am I and you asked me to be here so what's the difference between me and him?" Robin asked. "I'm a mutant who can't control her powers I'm as dangerous as it gets."
After a moment, Jane nods at Erik. They head back over to Thor and Darcy.
"I'm sorry. I can't go with you and Robin." Jane told Thor.
"I understand. Then this is where we say goodbye." Thor Accepted. He takes her hand and kisses it.
"That's… thank you." Jane giggled.
Thor bows slightly to each of them.
"Jane Foster… Erik Selvig… Darcy. Farewell." Thor replied. He and Robin gets in her car heads off down the street.
"Early you said you know who I am." Thor announced.
"I do you are the god of thunder." Robin replied. "And I meant what I said I feel like you're family."
"I feel the same as well." Thor stared. "How is it you believe me when the others did not?" Thor questioned.
"I can reads minds Thor." Robin answered taking her eyes off the rode for a second. "That's how I woke you up in the hospital."
"Really your truly a mind reader?" Thor Asked.
"I know what happened with the Frost Giants and how you got here you were banished by your father Odin." Robin answered.
"Wow…this is amazing how long have you been able to do this?" Thor wondered.
"Ever since I was five I can also control the weather too." Robin remarked.
"What you can do.." Thor stated as he looks around the car he sees it begins to snow."...Is extraordinary." Thor beamed.
"I'm glad someone thinks so." Robin said smiling. "But we're not going far. We're going to look at animal.
Erik looks worried and relieved.
"Now… let's get back to the lab We have work to do." Erik told as him and Darcy turn and start to go. Jane looks after the car as they drive away down the street.
Sif joins the Warriors Three as they hurry towards the Throne Room. Two Einherjar Guards enter, admitting Sif and the Warriors Three, who burst through the entrance, heads bowed.
"Allfather, we must speak with you." Sif urged. But as they raise their heads, they stop short to see – Loki Sitting sprawled upon his father's throne. He wears his horned ceremonial headdress and holds gungnir in his hand. Sif and the others look up, shocked at the sight before them.
"What is this?" Volstagg Questioned.
"My friends… you haven't heard? I am now Ruler of Asgard." Loki informed them.
"Where is Odin?" Fandral Asked in a curious tone.
"Father's fallen into the Odinsleep. My mother fears he may never awaken again." Loki answered.
"We would speak with her." Sif replied.
Sif and the Warriors Three exchange a look. Loki notices.
"She has refused to leave my father's bedside. You can bring your "urgent" matter to me, your King." Loki declared.
Sif covers quickly. "We would ask you to end Thor's banishment." Sif voiced.
"My first command can not be to undo the Allfather's last. We're on the brink of war with Jotunheim. Our people must have a sense of continuity in order to feel safe in these difficult times." Loki remarked.
Sif and the Warriors Three trade looks, not liking any of this. "All of us must stand together, for the good of Asgard."
"Of course." Fandral replied.
Sif and the Warriors Three bow their heads and exit. Loki stares after them.
Jane, Selvig, and Darcy head up the street. They're by Arturo's, when a pick-up Truck pulls up before them, stopped by traffic. In the back of the vehicle, Jane notices,partially covered by a tarp, the dark matter analysis machine from her lab.
"Hey! That's my stuff!" Jane called out.
Jane, Selvig, and Darcy reach the lab, where government vehicles are parked. Shield Agent haul equipment out of the lab and load it into waiting vans. Other Agents strip all the equipment from inside the Pinzgauer and cart it away. Still others emerge from her trailer, arms loaded with scientific instruments and documents.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Jane barked at the Agents but they ignore her as Agent Coulson approaches.
"Ms. Foster, I'm Agent Coulson, with Shield." Coulson informed them.
Erik, recognizing the name of the organization, grows wary.
"I don't care who you work for, you can't do this!" Jane voiced loudly.
"Jane. This is more serious than you realize. Let it go." Erik Chimed in.
"Let it go?! This is my life!" Jane remarked angrily.
"We're here investigating a security threat. We need to appropriate your equipment and all your atmospheric data." Coulson disclosed.
"By "appropriate" you mean "steal?" Jane corrected.
Instead of answering, Coulson gives her a check. "This should more than compensate you for your trouble." Coulson replied.
She throws the check to the ground without looking at it. "I can't just pick up replacements from RadioShack! I made most of that equipment myself!" Jane exclaimed.
"Then I'm sure you can do it again." Coulson pointed out.
"And I'm sure I can sue you for violating my constitutional rights!" Jane told.
"We're the good guys, Ms. Foster." Coulson reported.He tries to walk away, but Jane blocks his path. She is fully herself, fueled by outrage.
"So are we! We're on the verge of understanding something extraordinary." Jane started. Jane holds up her notebook. "Everything I know about this phenomenon is in this lab and in this book, and no one has the right to take it from me." Jane finished.
Coulson gestures to a nearby Agent, who promptly plucks the notebook out of Jane's hands and adds it to the pile he's carrying. Jane is stunned.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Coulson announced.
He gets into a car. The cars and trucks pull away. Jane,Erik, and Darcy enter, staring in shock at the now-empty space.
"Years of research, gone." Jane cried out.
"They even took my iPod." Darcy confessed.
"And your back-ups?" Erik questioned.
"Look around! They took our back-ups. They took the back-ups of our back-ups." Jane explained.
"I just downloaded, like, thirty songs on there." Darcy told.
"Will you please stop talking about your iPod?!" Jane barked at Darcy then she looks over to Erik.
"Who are these people?" Jane asked Erik.
"No one knows much about them. But I knew a scientist – a pioneer in gamma radiation. Shield showed up, and he was never heard from again." Erik answered.
"I'm not going to let them do this. I'm getting everything back." Jane declared.
"Please, let me contact one of my colleagues. Dr. Pym or Dr. Munroe they had some dealings with these people. I'll e-mail them and see if one of them can help." Erik insisted.
"They took your laptop, too." Darcy Chimed in.
Annoyed, Erik thinks.
Erik and Jane in the Pinzgauer drive up in front of then town's rinky-dink library. A sign in the window reads, "Free Internet."
"I'll just be a minute." Erik told Jane as He climbs out and heads inside. Jane looks down the street and sees something that intrigues her.
Thor and Robin enters the store. Thor approaches a pet store clerk While Robin looks at all the animals.
"I need a horse." Thor announced.
"Thor they don't sell Horse." Robin answered.
"Ya, we don't sell horses. Just dogs, cats, birds." The clerk agreed with Robin.
"We're just here to kill time for Jane to find us." Robin told Thor as she starts to play with some bunnies.
"Right well Then give me one of those, large enough to ride around town for now." Thor replied.
"You can't ride any of them you would squish them with your weight." Robin disclosed.
The Pet Store Clerk looks confused. Just then, Thor and Robin hears a car horn. They turn to the open door. Across the street, Jane calls out to them from the Pinzgauer.
"You still have room for one more?" Jane wondered.
"Ya come on Thor." Robin replied.
Robin and Thor walks out the pet store to the truck and Jane gets out the driver seat so Robin can drive.
It's story time in the library, as a Librarian reads a book –"The Secret History OF Giants "– to a group of kids.
"And though they're large, giants can be quiet. You have to listen carefully for the sound of their footsteps – because they may be closer than you think." The librarian shared with the Group of kids.
Nearby, Selvig sits at a computer terminal, finishing up his e-mail and his Text to Dr. Munroe. Beside him, a kid flips through a book with interest. The Librarian stops mid-story and calls to the Kid pleasantly.
"Joshua, come sit down. It's story time." The librarian voiced. The Kid closes his book and joins the others. Selvig looks over, notices the title of the book the Kid was reading –"Myths And Legends From Around The World."
He picks it up, flips through it, stops at the section on Scandinavian Mythology. It's a picture of a Rainbow bridge coming down from Asgard to earth. Asgardians walk upon it, among them Odin, Loki', and Thor, who wields Mjolnir. On the ground below them, a group of vikings kneel reverently. He eyes the illustration, pondering.
Jane's Pinzgauer cuts off the road, heads over the rugged terrain. Storm clouds roll in over the desert sky. Robin drives. Jane is pumped with adrenaline, nervous and excited, as Thor sits beside her, upbeat and eager for battle.
"I've never done anything like this before! Have you ever done anything like this before?" Jane asked in a curious way. Thor looks amused by her excitement.
"Many times. You're brave to do it." Thor replied.
"I all time. Hell I think I'm doing it right now." Robin murmured.
Thor chuckles at Robin. She is one funny mortal
"They just stole my entire life's work. I really don't have anything left to lose." Jane answered.
"Who is they." Robin questioned in a serious tone.
"Erik said there Shield some law-enforcement organization they came and took everything."
Robin 's whole demeanor change. How the hell did they catch on so fast? How am I going to protect Thor if they find out what he is it's over. The clouds outside turn a dark gray.
"But you're clever. Far more clever than anyone else in this Realm." Thor said voice soft with affection.
"This Realm?" Why do you talk like that?" Jane wondered.
"You think me strange?" Thor asked.
Jane laughs, catches herself. "Yeah. Just a little."
"Good strange or bad strange?" Thor wondered.
"I'm not quite sure yet." Jane answered as She looks at him, sees him staring at her. She's lost in his gaze. There so lost in each other that they don't see the distress that Robin in, being lost in her own thoughts of what's going to happen. The pinzgauer lurches off the road. She quickly snaps out of her thoughts and regains control of the car.
"Sorry." Robin announced. Robin glances at Thor through that review mirror and, he can see that something is troubling her but before he can ask her on the matter Jane speaks.
"Who are you? Really?" Jane queried.
"You'll see soon enough." Thor told Jane.
"You promised me answers." Jane Remarked.
"What you seek – it's a bridge." Thor answered.
"A bridge? Like an Einstein-Rosen Bridge?" Jane guessed.
"More like a rainbow bridge." Thor corrected.
"God, I hope you're not crazy." Jane declared.
As the Pinzgauer heads away, we continue up a hillside, revealing a light illuminating the valley beyond. As we move closer, we see the glow comes from – A Massive Shield Base Now set up around the crater – vehicles, trailers, barricades.
Armed Guards man a gate in the razor wire fence that runs fifty yards from the crater's edge, enclosing the complex. Clear, plastic access tubes with junction boxes lead to a translucent cube structure erected in the middle of the crater. Through the glass walls of the base's command trailer, we see Coulson directing technicians, busy at work. Within the cube structure itself, a team of Shield scientist work with high-tech machinery, analyzing the object at the center of it all – Mjolnir. Robin and Thor crawl to the edge of the ridge, look through binoculars, see the impressive shield base.
"Look I know how important this to you but we can go to Home Depot and get you a hammer." Robin insisted as she tries to pull Thor way from the edge. Thor doesn't budge and looks at Robin.
"Your worried about about me?" Thor wondered.
"Of course I'm worried about you. You don't know how these guys work if they catch you it's over. There's no way I'll can help you get back home." Robin answered.
Thor puts a comforting hand on Robin's shoulder. "I will be fine I have been in worst situations before and I'm still here." Thor explained.
"That is real reassuring thank you." Robin replied sarcastically.
Jane walks up to Thor and Robin with a concern look. "Hat isn't a satellite crash. They would have hauled the wreckage away, not built a city around it." Jane disclosed.
Thor shrugs out of his jacket and hands it to her.
"You're going to need this." Thor commented.
"Why?–" Jane trailed off.
Thunder rumbles overhead. She stares at him intently and takes his jacket.
"Robin are you doing this?" Jane questioned.
"No this isn't me but I think I know who is." Robin answered.
"Stay here. Once I have Mjolnir, I will return what they stole from you—Deal?" Thor remarked.
He looks to Jane then Robin, already knowing that Jane will take put but Robin will disobey his request.
"Robin..." Thor trailed off.
"What.." Robin said giving Thor a Cheshire Cat grin.
"No! Look what's down there! You can't just walk in, grab our stuff, and walk out!" Jane proclaimed.
"No." Jane looks relieved. "I'm going to fly out." Thor replied.
Before she can react, he starts heading towards the crater. The first drops of rain begin to patter into the dust.
"Wait…" Jane trailed off. But Thor is already headed towards the crater.
A Needle spikes on a handheld sensor device. The technician holding it looks over at the hammer. Mjolnir begins to give off a subtle glow. A bolt of lightning cracks across the sky above. A younger shield agent, a techie in a headset, monitors security. A junior, looks on, none-too-pleased.
"Feed from the keyhole. Can barely penetrate the cloud cover." The Techie hikes a thumb at another monitor, squelching with static. It shows an SAR shot of the area, laid over a terrain map. "Tech's barely working as it is, with all the interference that thing's giving off." He gestures towards the hammer. He checks a computer. "Hey, we've got a commercial aircraft coming in right over us, Southwest Airlines Flight 5434." Techie disclosed.
"Reroute it, like all the others." Sitwell ordered.
"Right. Can I get the passengers some free drinks for the trouble?" Sitwell glares at him. "It'd be a nice gesture." The Techie types into the computer, when he notices something on another screen, holds up a hand. "Hold a sec… we got something outside the fence, west side…" Techie trailed off. Techie points at the screen. Through the haze, it shows a thermal image huddled beside the fence.
"DeLancey, Jackson – check it out." Sitwell said into the radio.
Back at the top of the Cliff Robin is using her telepathy to track everyone in the facility. She picks up on the conversation Sitwell is having with one of the Techie.
They found you Thor keep your guard up two coming your way. Robin broadcasted her thought to Thor.
Back down at the Base a pair of Shield Agents(DeLancey and Jackson) take off in a jeep to investigate. Sitwell looks out the window, something strange catching his attention. The window's reflection that a glow is coming from the hammer containment area. The jeep pulls up as the Agents scan the fence with an flashlight, see nothing unusual.
"Looks like we're good here. Must have been another coyote." Agent Jackson seven to the radio to Sitwell. Just then, the Agents notice a section of the fence has been bent up from the ground, leaving a gap. Before they can call it in, a massive crack of lightning illuminates the night sky – revealing the silhouette of a large man standing outside the driver's (Jackson's) side of the jeep. DeLancey looks over, notices.
"Jackson?" DeLancey hesitated.
The Agents reach for their weapons. Thor elbows the driver across the jaw, causing him to drop his weapon. Jackson slumps over the steering wheel, as DeLancey starts to raise a shotgun at Thor. Thor grabs the barrel, yanks it out of DeLancey's hands and thrusts the hilt back, smashing the Agent's jaw. Thor reaches into the jeep to grab a rain slicker.
