It was only a short time after when I heard on the news that a New Mexico small town had been destroyed.
The news barely touched the subject. Yet I knew something was going on.
I got a plane ticket and went to New Mexico.
I drove out to the town. A lot remodeling was underway. I parked the rental car and got out. Buildings were destroyed and cars parts lay around. I noticed burns on the wall.
Something not man made when through here. I went into the nearest cafe. I walked up to the bar.
"Hello what can I get you?" The woman behind the counter asked.
"Coffee please," I smiled. She poured me a cup.
"Also I notice some damage happened in here and around the town, what happened?" I asked politely.
The woman stopped pour and set the cup down.
"You must be a college kid looking for a paper huh?" The woman sighed.
"No, my family used to live here and I just wanted to know," I lied.
"We don't really know what happened, one day Jane brought in a big guy with long blonde hair, handsome too and the next a thing came through our town burning things and a group of people with the man fought it and destroyed it with a hammer that's all I know," she sighed.
"This man did you catch his name?" I asked.
"Oh I think it was, hmm, oh it was Thor," she said.
Thor!? I hid my surprise as much as I could. Was Thor still here?
"Who is Jane?" I sipped my coffee.
"Jane she's a scientist. She noticed a lot of weird things," she moved to fill my cup.
"Could you tell me where she lives?" I picked my cup and took another drink.
"Well I suppose," she pointed to a irregular gas station building.
"Thank you for your time," I drank my coffee and put a twenty on the counter.
"Keep the change," I got up and left. I walked towards Jane's house. I knocked on the door.
A young woman answered. She had black hair and in this heat was wearing a hat.
"Can I help you?" She asked.
"I'm looking for Jane is she here?" I smiled.
"Jane it's for you!" She yelled.
A brunette walked up. She was about 30. She looked frazzled.
"Please tell me your not from shield," she sighed. She seemed stressed.
"No, but I do know a lot about Thor," I spoke. Her eyes widened.
"Please come in," Jane moved aside. Her friend stared at me.
"Erik could you come here?!" Jane yelled. a few seconds later an older man stepped out.
"Jane what's....who is your new friend?" Erik asked.
"My name is Verdandi ," I nodded to all of them.
"She says she know about Thor," the girl with black hair spoke up.
"Yes I do but not much of his recent activity," I looked to all three of them.
"Are you from Asgard?" Jane asked.
I looked out the window up at the sky. Clouds scattered the sky.
"I was," I spoke, "before the Allfather made a sacrifice years ago," I turned towards them.
Jane stared at me with a bit of shock. Erik seemed confused as well.
"Darcy, Jane we need to talk alone," Erik said. they all left the room. I turned back to the window. The sun was starting to set. The desert was beautiful in the sunset.
I heard them speaking. Humans think they can not be heard if they speak in hushed tones. That is not true.
"She is crazy how can we trust her," Darcy's voice squealed.
"She knows a lot of Asgard maybe she is from there," Janes voice rang out.
"Shhh, how do we know we can trust her?" Erik whispered.
"We don't but just have to, she could help us," Jane whispered.
They walked out of the room. They all looked tired and stressed. Before any of them could speak, I interrupted.
"Thor left you didn't he? He told you he would come back didn't he?" I looked at Jane. Her mouth opened.
"How did you.." She sputtered.
"I have known Thor since we were born, he keeps his promises, I can not tell you how to find him, I haven't been to Asgard in 458 years. I know nothing and no one has visited me in a while," I walked towards the door, " I wish you best of luck, I don't think I can be much help and neither can you."
I opened the door and walked out. I unlocked my door and got in.
I never turned back. I went straight home. I know one thing.
Loki was up to his old tricks. The only way Thor would come to earth is if something bad happened real bad.
Loki may even be dead by now.
