WOW! I cannot believe the following or the response to Stockholm so far. It is so fabulous. You make me want to write more! Thank you so much to all my subscribers. I promise to not let you down.

This chapter might be a little boring, but we have to bring Jane into this tale eventually. Please enjoy and keep those reviews coming!

Chapter One - Relocation

It was another hot day in New Mexico. A lack of rain, the humidity had actually crept up above fifty percent, and the daily temperature was going to reach near ninety degrees.

People, kids especially invaded the local ice cream parlor after they were let out of school for the day.

Puente Antiguo was a very small community outside the local Indian reservation, but it was a common pit stop for truckers to stop and pull in off the freeway.

Isabelle's diner was open for business and that was where Darcy Lewis, college intern extraordinaire was picking up the to-go order for her boss, Ms. Jane Foster, to take back to the office.

Oh the life of a college intern. Not what she had pictured her internship before graduation was supposed to be like, but she was going to have some crazy-ass stories to tell her sorority mates when she went back home.

Only another week in this repressive heat and she would be home in Santa Fe, eating regular food, ordering Chinese food that was not microwavable, and sleeping in her own bed again.

Ms. Foster still insisted on staying in New Mexico even after Dr. Selvig had left to return to his studies in California. She was still hung up and searching for a way to reopen the doorway to find Thor, the God of Thunder who had dropped into their lives over the spring.

Even Darcy had to admit that she missed Thor, but not for the reason that Jane missed him. Jane was in love with him. She was just in love with him for the way he looked.

No one in New Mexico, better yet, the United States could beat Thor in the way he looked.

Darcy returned to the laboratory and called aloud for her boss. "Food's here," she called.

Jane did not come out from wherever she was.

"Hey Jane," she called out loud for her teacher. "Hey!"

"What?" Jane's voice called from the rooftop access staircase. "I am busy right now installing this Spectroanalyzing Scanner."

"Grub is here and it is going to get cold," she told her.

"Best thing about chicken," Jane called down to where she was out of view. "Nuke it several times and it still retains its flavor and juiciness."

"Fine," she replied and went back to the work she had been doing before she left for the food pick-up. She was completing her Internship Accreditation Form so that Jane could fill it out with commentary and give her the credit that she needed to get her credit for serving as her gopher girl for the past semester.

Jane came down, leaving a trail of cable bundles in a path from the rooftop down to a computer server and screen nearby.

She was plugging in the cables while talking to herself. It was apparent that Jane knew what order those lines had to be placed if her device was to work correctly.

"Done," her teacher said and came to eat. "See, I can work and then eat. It's all in a day's work." She grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, which was behind her.

"All I am saying is that you have been working way too hard since...well, you know."

"You can say his name," Jane replied. "I will not be angry or get all pouty faced about missing him."

"That is what you said when you got back on the horse and started working on your research again. You said, "Oh I am not going to cry or weep for Thor. If he wants to come back, he will find away." Ten minutes later, you were crying in your trailer."

"I was not crying," Jane interjected.

Darcy shot her a look.

"OK, so at first I may have missed him, but now I am going to help him find a way to to get back here to Earth or..."

There was a sudden commotion outside as several black sedans and vans showed up outside the lab building.

"What the..." Jane said and got up from her chair. "What are they doing here?"

It was SHIELD as they recognized Agent Coulson who had invaded here and stolen all of their technology and equipment nearly three months ago.

"Oh heck no," Darcy said and tucked her IPod into her bra. She wasn't having it taken away again.

Jane Foster could not believe that SHIELD was here in New Mexico again. What were they doing here by her lab?

Were they coming to harass her again? Coming to procure her research yet again, even when they gave her everything back?

"Agent Coulson," she greeted him in a sarcastic manner. "What can we give you today?"

"Your equipment," the SHIELD agent said to her.

"You are kidding, right?" she asked. "No," she added as she dropped her crossed arms. "You can't. I just got everything back up and running since the last time that you took everything. Am I not allowed to have one moment...no, you know what. Take it all," she said. She turned around and started yanking out the cords that she had just plugged in. "Why am I thinking that my research is ever going to make me not be the laughing stock of the scientific community?"

"Do not worry about the equipment," Coulson said to her.

"I mean all I wanted to do was find away to open a wormhole so that Earth people could inter-dimensionally travel to other worlds..."

"...because you are going with it." Coulson told her.

Jane stopped ranting and pulling out cables when she heard what she thought that she had heard.

"What?" she asked.

Agent Coulson pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to her.

She unfolded it even as the other agents were clearing out her lab. "This is a federal warrant requesting all my records, equipment, and myself to report to SHIELD Headquarters...in New York City!"

"New York City," Darcy came over screeching and looking at the paper. "I have never been. So excited."

"Ms. Lewis," Coulson was saying, "we were waiting to procure Ms. Foster when your internship was near expiration. Now that it ends this week, you will not be accompanying Ms. Foster to the city."

"Are you kidding me?" Darcy asked.

Coulson said nothing.

"What about Erik...err, Dr. Selvig?" Jane asked.

"He is being procured now and will be joining you."

"So the intern gets to be left behind," her intern stated. "So not right."

Jane looked to her. "Well, unless you wanted to sign up for some extra credit, I do not see how else I can take you with me," she added.

"Extra credit?" she blasted. Darcy was quiet for a moment and then replied with a, "Where do I sign up?"

Jane and Darcy both looked to Coulson.

It was clear that he did not like it, but knew that it was either the both of them or none of them.

He reached into his inner pocket and pulled out his cellular phone.

The two girls gave each other a high clasping five.

SHIELD Headquarters (New York City)

The helicopter ride from the military airport in Washington D.C. was taking forever as Jane Foster and Darcy Lewis glided over the Atlantic Ocean on their way into the Big Apple.

The plane ride from the west coast had been brutal as they lost hours and it got later and later as they left from Santa Fe and landed in Washington. Once they got there, the females were ushered to an awaiting helicopter to fly to New York.

Finally through the smoke and fog, they could see the bright lights of the skyscrapers of the city. They were so close, it seemed almost unreal.

Darcy was snapping pictures with her IPod while Jane simply stared at the city. She was amazed at how different it had changed since the last time she had been here.

They traveled along the riverfront and finally found out where they were going as the copter started descending lower.

It was a long island of buildings with a landing spot in the middle of two of them.

Jane could see the fanfare that was awaiting their arrival.

The helicopter came down with a graceful thud upon the ground and that is when Coulson opened the door.

"Welcome to SHIELD," he told them.

Jane and Darcy climbed out and approached the man in the long leather duster and eye patch over his right eye. He looked very stern and serious as he stood there.

Another two agents, one a female redhead and the second a man with a sarcastic smile with brown spiky locks stood on each of his sides.

"Ms. Foster," the eye patch man said to her.

"Yes," she answered to the greeting.

"Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD," the man greeted them. "Welcome to your new home."

Hope you enjoyed that. I promise all you Loki fans (::hand raised high::) he will be back very quickly. Keep the reviews coming in as I treasure and respond to each and every one!
