Loki awakened on a hospital bed. He noticed restraints on his wrists now. He pulled at them, tried to free himself, to no avail.
"It's not possible." Loki said.
He tried again, flicking his hands this way and that, trying to work his way out of the restraints. One of his hands slipped free from its restraint.
Kurisuta again faced the Admissions Nurse, with Selvig and Rei nearby.
"I'm sorry, only relatives can visit patients." The admissions nurse said.
"But... I'm his wife." Kurisuta said.
Rei stifled a snicker at this, as the Nurse looked doubtful.
"I thought you said you didn't know him." The admissions nurse said.
"I meant I barely know him anymore. The man he's become. He's changed. I mean, what woman really knows her husband, anyway?" Kurisuta said.
"None of us, dear. He's in Room 102." The admissions nurse said.
Kurisuta, Selvig, and Rei headed down the corridor.
They entered Loki's room.
They stepped inside to find Loki's bed empty.
Kurisuta, Selvig, and Rei quickly climb into Kurisuta's SUV.
Kurisuta started the car, frustrated.
"Typical. I just lost my most important piece of evidence." Kurisuta said.
"So now what?" Rei said.
"We find him." Kurisuta said.
"I don't know if finding him is the best idea." Selvig said.
"I want to know what that thing was, and he may have the answers. We don't have a choice." Kurisuta said.
"Oo-kay. She pulls out her taser and a can of mace." Rei said.
"So we're just going to spend the rest of the day looking for him?" Selvig said.
"However long it takes." Kurisuta said.
Kurisuta put the car in reverse and backed up, when -BAM! She collided with Loki again, dressed in stolen hospital scrubs. Kurisuta and Selvig exchanged a look.
Kurisuta and Selvig emerge from the SUV, helped Loki to his feet.
"I'm so sorry. I swear I'm not doing that on purpose." Kurisuta said.
Loki looked up at the sky.
"Blue sky... one sun... This is Earth, isn't it?" Loki said.
"I think you may have hit him with the car one time too many." Rei said.
"Let's get you some clothes." Kurisuta said.
