Chapter 2: Point Break
"F.R.I.D.A.Y. scan for all possible sightings of Thor Odinson between August 17th and September 20th please."
"Of course boss."
I sat in the Avengers compound, scouring every map I could to find a possible location of Thor.
"I couldn't find much boss, just the same things as last time."
I sighed and pinched my nose.
"No worries F.R.I.D.A.Y. we'll try again later."
I waved my hand and the map collapsed into the table, it's light shutting off.
The door to the room opened, and I could hear the clicking of heels.
I turned around and saw a very concerned Pepper with a steaming mug in her hand.
"Tony, you've been in here all day. You need to come out and take a break." She said, handing me the mug.
"He's been missing too long Pep, it's not like him."
Pepper sighed and sat down.
"Tony, you've locked yourself in this room for a week, barely coming in and out. We're all worried for him but you need to take a break."
I sighed and sank down in my seat.
"He's my friend Pepper. I have to find him before I worry about anything else."
"Tony, take a break. Peter is on his way with his girlfriend, Rhodey and Sam will be back soon and the other Avengers are still here. You can rest for a little while."
I sat forward, resting my head in my hands.
"Not now Pepper, just give me a little more time." I said, reactivating the map.
Pepper sighed and left the room.

"Boss? I found something. September 19th at 12:01 am, a man similar in description to Thor was spotted in Nunavut."
I slowly sat up in my chair.
"Nunavut?"
"The territory in Canada boss."
"I know where it is, why would he be there?"
I opened the door just in time to see Peter Parker, mid knock.
"Oh, uh hi Mr. Stark. Sorry I'm late."
I smiled at the sight of him.
"You're just in time, I hope you brought your suit."
I walked through the door, bumping into someone I hadn't noticed before.
"I guess my age is catching up to me, I'm sorry..."
The person I bumped into stared at me for a moment, cocking her brow.
"Michelle." She said.
"Right, pleasure to meet you Michelle. I'm Tony Stark, although I'm sure you knew that already." I said, glancing in her direction and continuing onward.
"Meet me in the briefing room when you're ready kid, and Michelle, feel free to stay as long as you'd like. Happy will look after you." I said as I waved my hand.
A few minutes later, a very embarrassed Peter appeared, dressed in his red and black suit.
"Next time, try to be more careful with my girlfriend Mr. Stark." He said, slipping his mask on.
I tapped the reactor on my chest, the mark 85 armour quickly covering me head to toe.
"I like her." I said, taking two steps and lifting off.
Peter shot a web onto my foot, catching a ride as I flew off towards Canada.

We landed in a remote cave north of Iqualuit, the land around it all but deserted.
"I-it's-s f-f-f-freezing Mr. S-Stark." Peter said, shivering like a mad man.
"You should've built a heater into that suit kid."
I walked into the cave, activating lights in my repulsors.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y. scan for activity."
"Of course boss."
A blue mesh went over my surroundings, highlighting something at the back of the room.
"The hell is that?"
Peter and I approached the highlighted object.
It was a rather large stone with Nordic engravings.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y., what is this for?"
"Transportation to the bifrost according to Selvigs research boss."
"Thor is trying to get away? I wonder why."
I continued to search the cave with Peter, looking for any possible clue as to Thor's motivations.
I took a scan of the entire location, adding it to my holo-maps.
"Alright kid, we found all we need. Let's go before we go the way of the mammoth."
Back at the Avengers Compound...
"Hey Sam? We got a guy at the door asking to come in." James Rhodes called to me.
"Well ask him who he is."
Rhodes sighed and spoke into the radio.
"Please tell me your name sir."
Rhodes turned in his chair, pinching his nose and said:
"He says his name is Quentin Beck."
