"Gabriel"
Phil blinked as a man appeared in front of him. Literally. With candy.
"Hi," he said. "Sorry about the abrupt entrance. I could make it up to you later, with a different kind of entrance." He waggled his eyebrows.
"Are you Asgardian?" Phil asked.
"Sorry, bro. I'm from heaven."
"Right."
"You wouldn't remember, but we met while you were there."
Phil coughed. "Right," he repeated. "Can I help you?"
"The name's Gabriel. Heard you were having trouble; came to offer my… services." He winked.
"Such as…?"
"Divine intervention!"
"Mmm-hmm?"
"We can… discuss the rest later." Another eyebrow wiggle. Phil sighed.
And the archangel Gabriel helped defeat HYDRA with a clap of his hands. Or something. Easier than dealing with his stolen horn. Though I'm sure he'd make jokes about it to Phil. ;)
