"Got anything new?"

"Not yet, Miss Taylor..."

"Yes, you do... move over."

Wrinkling her nose as if in disgust and ushering the young man out of his seat after checking the screen, Kara took his place and started typing away at the computer, to register the new readings it had recorded; really, where the heck had Coulson found all those idiots?

With thunder rumbling in the sky, the image on the screen momentarily flickered and Kara glanced from the computer to the nearby open space currently housing what she had recognized to be Mjölnir, Thor's hammer. Had Loki not pointed it out to her in a picture all those years ago, telling her of its power and origin, she likely would have believed it to be just some weird item coming from outer space. Of course, she hadn't mentioned that to Coulson or any of the other agents... she still wanted to get a chance of talking to that guy first and confirming her suspicions; and maybe get some answers as to how she could contact Loki, if that male actually proved to be Thor.

Some minutes later she was nearly startled out of her skin when Coulson grabbed her arm.

"You have to get moving, now." he said urgently.

"Wh-what happened?"

"We got a perimeter breach... some lunatic on steroids. He's tearing through security. I got Barton up high, tagging him; we should have him locked up soon enough."

While Phil was trying to drag her along one of the improvised hallways and get her to a safer part of the compound, Kara was listening to the shouts of men all around. Was it possible that it was the same guy?

"Then I'm going there to handle him." she suddenly said.

Pulling herself free from his grasp she turned around and rushed along the corridor toward the place where she could now locate the source of several voices.

"No... Kara, don't!"

"I'll be fine!"

By the time she had arrived there, however, Thor was already approaching the hammer whilst Coulson was talking to Barton on the radio.

"Well that was fast... why aren't you arresting him?" she asked in jest.

"I wanna see this..."

Looking downwards as well, Kara inwardly contemplated whether or not she should tell Coulson who she suspected the guy was... by now she was pretty sure it was indeed Thor, and if he managed to take a hold of that hammer, they would never catch him again.

'Huh... maybe he's not...'  she mused, staring in shock when he failed to retrieve the hammer from the stone it had impaled itself into.

The utterly heart wrenching shout that left his chest when he finally realized he couldn't lift the weapon, gave her the shivers and at the same time made her feel sincerely sorry for him. She definitely needed to talk to him now... what in the world had happened to him?

"Alright, show's over... ground units, move in." Coulson ordered into his radio.

Two hours later she was standing with Coulson in a brightly lit room, watching as the agent tried to put enough psychological pressure on Thor to get him to talk and tell them who he was. When his pager beeped, however, and he left the room she said she would stay behind to keep an eye on their prisoner. Finally...

"Thor..." she said, once Coulson had departed.

When he failed to look at her, apparently attempting to pretend that he was someone else, she couldn't help but smile lightly whilst she poked around to just the edges of his mind until she learned his identity... yes, her suspicions had apparently been correct after all.
