Chapter Two: The God of Thunder
Meanwhile in London, England, Jane Foster starts sitting at the bench waiting for her intern to arrive.
Jane: (sigh) God. Darcy. Where the hell are you?
Dr. Selvig arrives with a cheeseburger in his hand. Jane notices.
Jane: Cheeseburger, really?
Dr. Selvig: I can't handle British food.
Jane: Didn't the doctor say you need to go on a diet?
Dr. Selvig: The doctor's a dick.
Jane: (rolling her eyes) Whatever. Have you heard from Darcy?
Darcy arrives.
Darcy: Here I am. I just had to go shopping for cool clothes. Look at these. These are cute. (showing the dress) It's got a bunny and flowers on one dress.
Jane: (ignoring the dress) Why the hell have you not returned my calls or text messages?
Darcy: ... I... got caught.
Jane: (widening her eyes) Doing what?
Darcy: Making out with my intern in a museum.
Jane: What were you doing in... Forget it.
Darcy: (noticing Selvig's burger) Oh, god. A burger. (taking it out his hand and takes a bite)
Dr. Selvig: That has onions in it.
Darcy gags.
Jane: Is there something here we don't know about?
Dr. Selvig: What do you mean?
Jane: I don't know. I feel like there's something that doesn't exist on this planet. (standing up) But I can't think it out.
Dr. Selvig: Aren't you forgetting Thor?
Jane: Well, he doesn't count.
Darcy: Oh, yeah. Where is that thunderguy?
Meanwhile on the world of Asgard, the Great King Odin remains sitting on his throne chair talking.
Odin: I do not understand why you're not ready for such thing like this. My son would never speak of this. (turning around facing his son Thor) How could you choose not to take the throne?
Thor: I told you. I wasn't ready.
Odin: I thought this was what you wanted?
Thor: You know what happened to Loki! My brother died there! And sometimes, I wish it was me!
Odin: He is not your brother, Thor.
Thor: That's not what you told him.
Odin: He already knew I wasn't his father.
Thor faces down.
Odin: (standing up) I know things have been hard for you since mother died and Loki as well. It has always been my duty to protect all of Asgard.
Thor: What of Earth?
Odin: Earth is not my concern, son.
Thor stays silent and turns around and walks off. Thor walks into this room and watches outside the window. Sif walks.
Sif: Supper's ready.
Thor: Not hungry.
Sif: (walking to him) Thor. You must eat.
Thor: I said I'm not hungry!
Sif feels his pain and puts her hand on his shoulder.
Sif: You know there was nothing you could've done to save Loki and your mother.
Thor: I avenge them. I'm an avenger. I have to avenge their death.
Sif: I understand. Thor, please come and eat.
Thor follows Sif to the table and sits.
Fandral: Thor! You missed the funniest joke I told Volstagg!
Volstagg: That was a hidious joke!
Thor stays silent. Frandal notices and put his hand on his shoulder.
Fandral: Let it go, Thor. Yes, we will miss your mother and your brother.
Thor: Well, I'm glad you all are here for me.
Fandral: How about cheers? To Frigga and Loki.
They do cheers and drink up and dig into the food.
Fandral: Thor. You never mention Jane Foster anymore.
Sif: Oh, yeah. Why don't you invite her to join us?
Thor: She has business to do on Earth. (taking a drink)
Volstagg: Ladies. You never know what business they have.
Thor: No, they have work to do. That's what I meant.
Volstagg: ...Oh.
Meanwhile Back on Earth, Jane gets out the radio transmitter to find something.
Darcy: Do you think Matt Smith would show up soon? I'm a really big Doctor Who fan.
Jane: Nobody cares, Darcy.
Dr. Selvig helps Jane search the city for more clues.
Jane: I'm not picking up anything left from Malekith. I think this one is different. This is nothing Thor would face.
Dr. Selvig: Could there be another galaxy?
Jane: I'm guessing there is. Whatever this is, this is nothing Earth or Asgardlike.
Darcy notices a strange rectangle lining around the water in the river.
Darcy: Hey, guys? You might wanna see this.
Jane and Selvig notice the rectangle lining around the water.
Jane: What the hell?
Darcy: Wwwwhat do you suppose that is?
Jane takes the transmitter that appears to be following the rectangle.
Jane: This is impossible.
Jane walks near the pier and takes a closer look.
Dr. Selvig: Jane, I wouldn't get too close.
Jane: It's okay.
Jane slowly walks toward the giant rectangle and starts standing on something solid in the water. She looks down and finds out to be standing on nothing.
Darcy: Oh... my god.
Dr. Selvig: We gotta call Thor.
Darcy: If he owns a cell phone.
Dr. Selvig glares at her and shakes his head as he gets irritated. Jane sticks her foot in the rectangle which shows he that she can jump in. She jumps in the water.
Darcy: (laugh) Now, that is funny. An invisible swimming pool.
They all notice Jane is somehow not coming out.
Darcy: Jane?
Dr. Selvig: Oh, crap.
They all run towards the rectangle.
Dr. Selvig: Jane?!
Darcy: Jane?!
Jane finds herself on the ground and gets up off the ground and finds herself in what appears to be a strange palace.
Jane: (to herself) Where am I?
Jane looks all around the place and finds the wall of water that is the exact same shape as the rectangle in London it turns out to be some kind of portal she went through to get in the palace. Outside the portal, Selvig and Darcy look inside the water and they don't spot a sign of Jane.
Darcy: Do you have a coin?
Dr. Selvig: Why?
Darcy: I wanna try something.
Selvig reaches in his pocket and give her a quarter and Darcy drops it in and the quarter disappears in the clear water and surprises them.
Darcy: Okay, I'm scared to go there.
Jane hears Selvig and Darcy talking.
Dr. Selvig: (from the portal) You have to. She could be alive.
Jane: I'm down here!
They all hear her.
Dr. Selvig: Jane!
Jane: It's safe to come through. Just be careful.
Selvig looks at Darcy.
Darcy: You first.
Selvig jumps in. Darcy counts to three in her head and jumps in and falls on her butt.
Darcy: Ow! Next time, tell me not to jump!
Selvig looks around the place.
Selvig: What is this place?
Darcy: (scared) Um, I don't know. But I'm going back.
Darcy runs back to the portal. Jane notices.
Jane: Darcy, wait!
Darcy jumps through and finds she's on the other side of the wall.
Darcy: Okay, I'm really creeped out.
Jane: Darcy! Get back here!
Darcy jumps back through the watery wall.
Darcy: So, what I just found out, that rectangle only lets people come in. But you heard us from in here. How is that possible?
Jane: I don't know. But there is something weird going on here.
They hear something and notice a walking dinosaur in an armor holding a shield and axe.
Darcy: Okay. This is getting weird.
Jane: (to the dinosaur soldier) Hi. (talking slowly) Do you speak English?
DinoSoldier: A te dek jfoub 0eih cudwiuwo!
Jane: English! Do you speak English?
Darcy: I don't think he knows English.
Jane: What are you?
DinoSoldier: A um u SharpClaw!
Jane: Okay. I think he understood that one. He says he's a SharpClaw. (to the SharpClaw) Can you tell me where I am?
SharpClaw: You are in Krazoa Palace!
Darcy: Well, that didn't take him long to speak English.
Jane: Can you help us escape?
SharpClaw: That's not a SharpClaw decision! We SharpClaw attack!
More of the SharpClaws appear in front of Jane, Darcy and Selvig.
Jane: Run.
They start running and the SharpClaw chase them down.
Darcy: You had to talk to him!
Jane: I just want to get out of here! That's all!
Dr. Selvig: In here!
They all run into the hall and still get chased down and out the main front of the palace and hide from the SharpClaws searching around the front to find them.
SharpClaw #1: Keep searching.
They continue searching for them and still no sign.
SharpClaw #2: Nothing. They must've swam away.
They go back inside. Jane, Darcy and Selvig get out of hiding look at the giant palace.
Jane: Thor, where the hell are you?
Meanwhile on Asgard, Thor arrives to the Bifrost and approaches Heimdall.
Heimdall: I see you have your hammer.
Thor: You're mentioning that why?
Heimdall: (walking inside with Thor) It's Jane. It appears she's not on Earth.
Thor: Impossible. She can't have disappeared.
Heimdall: She must be in trouble. The frost giants haven't got her.
Thor prepares to get worried.
Heimdall: I afraid she's gone, Thor.
Thor: No! Look again! She has to be in another world somewhere!
Heimdall: There is no other world.
Thor: (marching towards him) Heimdall! You can't say that! She has to alive somewhere!
Odin: (from behind) I'm afraid he's right, son.
Thor faces Odin.
Odin: If she's not in any world, then she's not anywhere. It's more likely that Jane wouldn't have made it.
Thor: (angry) That's a lie! Listen to yourselves! You're talking like Loki! There is another world out there! And if you're not gonna help me find her, then I'll look for her myself. Heimdall, open the bifrost!
Heimdall: Thor.
Thor: I said open it!
Thor marches towards the gate.
Odin: Go ahead, son. I won't stop you. But once you search and you don't find her. Then, you'll know she's dead.
Thor: I'll take my chances.
Heimdall opens the bifrost and Thor jumps in and shoots away.
