???: So where is your guy? Jane?

Jane: He'll be here... any minute.

Soon a bus pulls up and a Y/n walks out with luggage.

Jane: There he is. Darcy let's go help him

Darcy: How do you know this guy?

Jane: Y/n once worked at the daily plant. And helped me once.

Darcy: Great...

Both girls walk up to Y/n who's messing with his camera.

Jane: Y/n it's good to see you.

Y/n: Uh. yeah. Can you tell me why you called me all the way to New Mexico?

Jane: Right. Well you see there have been thunder storms.

Y/n: Jane? What do special about thunder storms.

Jane: These thunder storms have been coming two seconds away from each other. It's no coincidence

Y/n: Fine I'll help. Only because it'll be useless if I go back without something. Who's you're friend?

Y/n motions to Darcy who's just watching the two.

Jane: Uh. This is.

Darcy: The names Darcy. Darcy Lewis.

Y/n: Y/n Kent. Pleasure to meet you.

Y/n stretches his arm out for a hand shake Darcy then shakes his hand and a van pulls up to the three and the door open and they see a middle aged man.

Y/n: Professor Erik Selvig?

Erik: Y/n? What are you doing here?

Jane: I called him here. You know Y/n?

Erik: He was with me in the Arctic when they found something in the ice.

Darcy: And what was in the ice?

Erik: We done know. One night it just disappeared.

Jane: Really?

Y/n: Yeah. We're not supposed to talk about what happened.

Jane: Well then shall we?

Y/n: Sure.

Y/n grabs his luggage as the group walk into the van and drive off. Later that night the group are in the van with Y/n adjusting the camera Jane then gets up and opens the roof panel of the Suv Fold open. The underside of the panels house a variety of hand-built astronomical device, which now point at the sky. Jane pops her head through the roof. She positions a MAGNETOMETER, so its monitor calibrates with the constellations above. It appears to be cobbled together from spare parts of other devices.

Jane: Hurry!

Erik gets up and a loud BANG followed by muffled CURSING from below Jane offers a hand down to Erik who emerges as well, rubbing his head.

Jane: Oh-- watch your head.

Erik: Thanks. So what's this anomaly of yours supposed to look like?

Jane: It's a little different each time. Once it looked like, I don't know, melted stars, pooling in a corner of the sky. But last week it was a rolling rainbow ribbon--

Erik: Racing round Orion? I've always said you should have been a poet.

Jane reigns in her excitement. She tries for dignity.

Jane: Hey, Darcy. Pass up the bubbly andmy gloves, will you? Intern.

Darcy hands Jane a bottle of Champagne and a pair of gloves through the window. Jane passes it to Selvig to hold while she pulls on the old gloves -- too large and masculine for her small hands. He starts to unwrap the foil, and she stops his hand with an excited grin.

Jane: Y/n is the camera ready?

Y/n: Yup. Ready when you are. Are you ready?

Jane: No Not until you see it!

Erik: I recognize those. Think how proud he'd be to see you now.

Jane: Thank you.

Erik: For what?

Jane: The benefit of the doubt.

The two stare out at the sky expectantly. A long beat while they scan the skies. Nothing. As Jane gets worried.

Jane: It's never taken this long before.

Darcy: Can I turn on the radio?

Jane: Sure, if you like rocking out to kfrm All agriculture, all the time.

Darcy: So y/n where you from?

Y/n: Kansas. Well a small town in Kansas called smallville.

Darcy: Maybe you can take me to smallville and show me?

Y/n: Maybe.
