Thor and Jane drive up to the crater, where SHIELD has closed it off and put a large tent around it. A few scientists are examining the hammer. Jane realizes that it wasn't a satellite crash because they would've just removed the wreckage.
"Exactly. Not a satellite crash which is why we enclosed it, we needed to keep it out of the public eye." Coulson said.
Thor gives her his coat and says she's going to need it.
"Aw, you're already giving her your jacket and breaking into government facilities together." Tony teased. "So romantic."
He puts the jacket on her shoulders and tells her to stay there and that as soon as he has Mjolnir he'll return the items SHIELD took from Jane.
Jane asks if he's going to walk in, take their stuff back and walk back out.
Thor says he's going to fly out.
"I'm sensing some overconfidence and that this is not going to end very well." Scott said. A few people looked at him. "I'm an ex-con, I know firsthand that overconfidence in a situation like this one is going to get you nowhere." He said. "No matter who you are." He added, glancing at Thor.
Two scientists are looking at the hammers heat signature. A tech says that there's a plane about to fly overhead.
An agent tells the tech to reroute it.
Someone says that there's something outside.
The screen shows the outside of the tent. An agent telle 2 other agents to check it out.
A golf cart drives up to a fence. Someone points a flashlight at a hole in the fence.
"Word of advice, you can't really sneak up on spies and expect to be undetected." Natasha said.
Thor punches the driver in the face and hits the other guy with the butt of a gun.
Thor, now wearing a hooded shirt walks over to hide. An agent walks over and sees someone lying on the floor and says that they have a perimeter breach.
Jane ducks down and calls Erik. She leaves a message saying that if he doesn't hear from her to come by the crater site and find her because she did what he told her not to.
Thor runs into the tent. He throws a guy over his shoulder, the gut kicks him, Thor throws him into another guy. He starts running. Coulson says he needs eyes up high with a gun. Clint grabs a bow and starts running.
"Is that you?" Tony asked Clint.
Thor comes down a ladder and kicks an agent into another agent, he kicks another one in the head, then starts running, he takes down two more agents and kicks another through the tent. Coulson walks up to someone and asks whats happening.
The agent says that there's been an electromagnetic surge and that there systems are barely coping.
Coulson asks Clint to talk to him.
Everyone glanced at Clint.
Clint draws his bow and asks if Coulson wants him to slow Thor down or if he's sending in more men for him to beat up.
Coulson says he'll let him know.
Thor walks into the room where his hammer is, an agent kicks him in the chest. Thor says he's big but he's fought bigger.
A few people snorted.
Thor punches him in the face. The agent punches him back. They fall through the tent and into the mud. The agent puts him in a choke hold Thor elbows him. The agent throws him off. They stand up, Thor jumps and kicks him in the chest, then in the head.
Clint tells Coulson to call it because he's starting to root for Thor.
Thor tears part of the tent off and walks in, he steps toward the hammer.
Clint says that this is Coulson's last chance to call it.
Coulson says he wants to see Thor try and lift Mjolnir.
Thor put his head in his hands, slightly embarrassed about what was about to happen, but more disappointed.
Thor puts his hand around the hammer and tries to lift it, it doesn't move.
"Wait, you weren't worthy?" Bruce asked. "Well, father deemed me unworthy, and banished me do I would learn my lesson, I guess in that moment, the lesson had yet to be learned." Thor explained.
He gives up and screams in rage.
Coulson says that the shows over and tells the ground agents to move in. . An agent handcuffs Thor and takes him away.
Heimdall is shown watching.
Erik, Jane and Darcy are sitting at a table. Erik says that Thor committed a crime and he's in jail.
Jane says she can't leave him there.
Erik asks her why.
Jane says that he didn't see what she did.
Darcy says and shows Jane a picture in her book. the page reads 'Mjolnir'. Jane asks her where she found it.
Erik says he got it from the children's section of a bookstore. Jane flips to a page that reads 'Loki'. Erik says he wanted her to see how silly Thor's story was.
"It is not silly if it is true." Thor said.
Jane says the he's the one who tells her she should chase down every possibility.
Erik says that he's talking about science not magic.
Jane quotes Arthur C Clarke saying that magic is just science that they don't understand.
"That is not entirely true." Loki said.
"How would you know, you're not a scientist." Tony protested.
"He's right, it's kind of not." Strange said.
"Yeah, they're right." Wanda said.
"Any other wizards wanna make themselves known, now would be a good time, seeing as we already have Flaura Fauna and Mary-weather over here. " Tony said.
"Sorcerer." Loki corrected at the same time Strange said "Master of the Mystic Arts." at the same time Wanda said "Witch." Tony tossed his head back in exasperation.
Erik says that Arthur C Clarke wrote science fiction
Jane says that its a precursor to science fact.
"New game, take a shot every time one of them says the word science." Tony said.
"I'll play." Valkyrie said and pulled out a large bottle of alcohol.
"I was joking." Tony said.
"I'm still gonna drink." Valkyrie said.
"Where did you get that?" Loki asked.
"The Grand master had it on the ship we left Asgard on, I took it because I planned to drink it and go to sleep but then I was sucked into this place."
"Who the hell is the Grand master?" Tony asked.
Erik says that in some cases that is correct. "In some cases, yeah."
Jane says that if there's an Einstein-Rosen bridge then there has to be something on the other side and advanced species might have crossed it.
Darcy says that a privative culture might have worshipped people like Thor as deities.
Jane thanks her.
"So she can be helpful."
Thor is sitting in a room of one way glass, agents are working outside of the room. Coulson tells him that he made his men look like minimum wage mall cops and that it was hurtful.
"Oh, I bet it was." Rocket laughed.
He asks Thor where he received his training and lists off some countries and says that he strikes him as a soldier of fortune and says that certain groups would pay well for a mercenary like him.
"What is a mercenary?" Thor asked.
"Someone who takes part in military conflicts for their own gain." Natasha said.
Coulson asks Thor who he is and that one way or another they're going to find out. He leaves and tells Thor not to go anywhere. Loki appears in his place.
"How the hell did you get there?" Sam asked.
"Magic." Loki answered, knowing it would irritate some people.
Thor asks Loki what he's doing there.
Loki says that he had to see him.
Thor asks Loki to let him explain himself to Odin.
Loki tells him that Odin is dead.
Everyone glared at Loki. Why would he think it was okay to trick someone into believing that? Thor smacked him. "I'm still mad about that." He said.
Loki tells him that his banishment and the threat of war was too much for him. He says he tried to talk to him but Odin wouldn't listen.
"You didn't tell him shit!" Clint shouted.
"Because he fell asleep before I could even try and do anything!" Loki yelled back. "Of all the times to fall into the Odinsleep, this was probably the worst one." He said, softer this time. Thor had to agree.
Loki says it was cruel of Odin to put the hammer within his reach knowing that he couldn't lift it.
"That was a bit cruel." Steve said. "But I think it became an incentive for Thor to learn."
Loki says that the throne has fallen to him.
Thor asks if he can come home.
Loki tells him that a condition of the truce with Jotunheim is his exile.
Thor asks if he could find a way.
Loki tells him that Frigga has forbidden his return.
Loki winced hearing himself say that. Thor smacked him again.
"Heartless bastard." Clint yelled.
Loki says goodbye and apologizes.
Thor apologizes and thanks him for coming to visit.
Loki bids him farewell and disappears.
Coulson comes back into the room.
An agent holds a metal detector near Mjolnir.
A hand tries to lift it, it wont move, the person is revealed to be Loki, he just walks away.
"Loki?" Thor questioned. Loki just cleared his throat awkwardly.
Clint smirked inwardly, why the hell did Loki think he would ever be worthy?
Someone walks into the interrogation room and says that Thor has a visitor.
"Who?"
Erik Selvig is standing outside talking to Coulson. Erik tells him that Thor's name is Donald Blake.
Natasha sighed, he could have come up with a better name than that, remembering that it was the name of Jane's Ex.
Coulson tells Erik that he has dangerous coworkers.
Erik says that Thor was distraught when he found out SHIELD had taken the research because it was years of his life gone.
"He's gonna dig himself into a hole." Clint realizes, remembering that the name tag also said MD, he was a medical doctor not a scientist.
Erik says Coulson should understand how someone could go off like that and starts insulting the SHIELD agents.
"Oh please stop talking." Maria said.
Coulson says that that doesn't explain how Thor tore through security.
Erik says he's on steroids and that he's a fitness nut.
"He did not just tell them that Thor was taking steroids." Maria sighed.
Coulson looks over a computer shoes a picture of a fake ID, with a picture of Thor and the name Donald Blake the top of the screen reads 'Falsified Data'.
"There's the hole." Natasha said. Clint laughed.
Coulson says that the computer says that Donald Blake is an MD.
Erik says that he was and that he switched fields and became a brilliant physicist.
"But that begs the question: Why would someone transfer out of the medical field to become a scientist?" Scott asked.
"Yeah, that's not something that usually happens." Strange said.
Erik says that Thor's a man in pain.
Thor is still in the room.
Erik walks in and tells Thor that he's taking him home and calls him 'Donny.' Him and Erik walk out of the tent. Thor picks up a book.
"Why did you take a book?" Quill asked.
"I made a promise, I intended to keep it." Thor said.
Coulson says to keep Thor away from the bars.
Erik says that he will.
Thor laughed a little. "Why are you laughing?" Coulson asked.
Thor asks where they're going.
Selvig says that they're going to get a drink.
Everyone laughed. Coulson sighed in exasperation.
"Follow them." Coulson says.
Erik and Thor are sitting at a bar, drinking. Thor says that he had everything all wrong.
Erik says that it isn;t a bad thing to find out you don't have all the answers because it means you start to ask the right questions.
"That was actually a very wise thing to say." May said.
Thor says that for the first time in his life he doesn't know what he's supposed to do.
"Join the club." All of the teenagers say.
"We have pizza night on Friday's." Ned added.
"And on Wednesdays we wear pink." Peter added.
Erik says that anyone who's going to find their way in life needs to start by admitting that they don't know where they are.
"Wise words." Fury said. Everyone had to agree, they were very wise words.
Thor thanks him.
Erik tells him not to because he only did it for Jane. He tells Thor that he and Jane's father taught at a university together. He says that Jane's father was a good man but he never listened.
Thor says that he didn't listen either. He tells Erik that Odin was trying to teach him something but he was too stupid to see it.
Erik says that he doesn't know if Thor's delusional or if he's a con man but he doesn't care and he only cares about Jane.
Thor says he means Jane no harm.
Erik says he'll buy the next round and Thor should leave after.
"Wow Selvig really didn't want you near Jane." Sam said.
The bartender sets two beer mugs and two shot glasses in front of them. Erik pours the shot into the beer. He and Thor clink glasses and start drinking. The give a quick glance at each other.
"Did you just challenge each other to a drinking contest?" Bruce asked.
Thor nodded.
"I can imagine that it didn't go too well for Selvig." Steve said.
"Never challenge an Asgardian to a drinking contest." Valkyrie advised.
The bifrost opens and Loki appears on Jotunheim.
"What are you doing there, I would've thought you'd never want to see any of the frost giants again." Gamora asked.
He walks to Laufey who gives the order to kill him.
Loki asks if he's really going to kill him after everything he did for them.
Laufey realizes that Loki was the one who showed them how to get into Asgard.
Loki says that that was just a bit of fun.
"How was that fun!?"
Loki says it was to ruin Thor's day and protect the realm from his idiotic rule for a little longer.
Laufey says he's listening.
Loki tells him that he will conceal him and some soldiers and lead them to Odin so he can kill him where he sleeps.
Laufey asks why Loki won't kill Odin himself.
""You're playing him... aren't you?" Tony asked.
"I am." Loki said.
"So what was your actual plan?" Tony asked. He was getting tired of all of the double crossing.
Loki says he suspects the asgardians won't take kindly to a king who killed his predecessor.
"No I can't imagine they would." Valkyrie said.
Loki says that once Odin is head he'll return the casket and that can use it to restore Jotunheim to all its glory.
"I am Groot."
"Yeah, I got that too." Quill said.
"What did-" Scott started.
"He said he has a feeling that its not glorious." Quill answered.
Laufey accepts.
"Well, you shouldn't have accepted." Scott said.
Loki appears back in Asgard and asks Heimdall what troubles him.
"Wait so if he's the gatekeeper, who the hell is the keymaster?" Tony asked. The aliens all looked confused, what was a keymaster? "You people need to get pop culture educated."
Heimdall says that when he turned his gaze upon Loki in Jotunheim he couldn't see or hear him.
"How did you hide from him? you guys said he sees all." May asked.
"Loki knows how to conceal himself from Heimdall's sight, something not many can do." Thor explained.
He says that Loki was shrouded from him like the frost giants that entered the realm.
"He's onto you." Nebula said.
Loki suggests that Heimdall's senses have weakened with is meany years of service.
Heimdall suggests that someone has found a way to hide what he doesn't want him to see.
"Yep, definitely onto you." Rocket said.
Loki tells Heimdall that he has great power and asks if Odin ever feared him.
Heimdall says he didn't.
Loki asks why.
Heimdall says that Odin is his king and he is sworn to obey him.
Loki says that Odin was his king and that Heimdall is sworn to obey him now and tells him not to open the bifrost to anyone until he repairs the damage Thor caused.
"Or so you could cause even more damage." Clint said.
