Norah, now clad in her glasses, a button up blue shirt, and beige skinny jeans with flats walks to interrogation. She enters interrogation to see Thor sitting in a chair, staring forward blankly, hands cuffed behind him. Coulson stands across from him.

"It's not easy to do what you did." Coulson glanced at Norah, "You made us all look like a bunch of mall cops, except for our Girl of Steel. That's hurtful." Norah sends a small smile to Coulson, who was laughing on the inside. "The men you so easily subdued are highly-trained professionals, and in my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training to do what you did to them."Norah saw this going no where with Coulson and sent him a look. He nodded and left the room.

"Would you like to tell me where you received your training?" Thor sits silently, but glanced at her in curiosity. "Pakistan? Chechnya? Afghanistan?" He still sat there silently. " Then again, you strike me more as the soldier of fortune type. What was it, South Africa?" Still no answer. Norah leans in close to him. "Certain groups pay well for a good mercenary. Especially HYDRA." Norah shivers when she uttered the name of an organisation. She waits for a response, but gets none. "Who are you?" She finally gets an answer.

"Just a man." She's intrigued by his accent.

"One way or another, we find out what we want to know. We're good at that." Norah whispered into his ear, causing Thor to shiver slightly from being so close to such a gorgeous woman. She leaves the room. Thor lowers his head.

"Nothing could have stopped me." Loki utters as Coulson and Norah enter the room, but seems to take no notice of Loki. "Fare well, brother."

"Good-bye." Thor says causing confusion to erupt inside the two agents.

"Good-bye? We just got back." Coulson stated as Thor looks up to see that Loki is gone.

"Now. Where did we leave off?" Norah asks rhetorically and looks to Thor, a man she has no explanation for as there are flips in her stomach.

Sitwell enters and speaks to his superiors. "Sir, Ma'am... he's got a visitor." They leave Thor alone and walk to where they see the visitor. Norah rolled her eyes.

Coulson, Norah, and several other SHIELD AGENTS stand across from Erik Selvig. "'Donald Blake?'"

"Doctor Donald Blake. He's part of our team." Selvig announces. Norah can't help but feel doubt.

"You have dangerous coworkers, Dr. Selvig." Norah comments, trying to see if there's a slip up.

"Troubled, not dangerous. He was distraught when he found out that you'd taken all of our research. It was years of his life, gone! He got depressed, started drinking, and... well, you know the rest." Selvig frantically explained, his heart jumping with lie. Norah was listening to his heart, he lied.

"Uh-huh. You mind if we take a moment to verify his identity?" Coulson asks, since he couldn't tell.

"Certainly." Selvig gulped when he caught sight of Norah's narrowed eyes, watching him like a hawk. The Techie at a computer nearby runs the name. "You can understand how a man could go off like that. I mean, a big, faceless organization like yours, coming in with their jack-booted thugs and stealing private property...is how he described it." Norah could practically smell the lie.

"That doesn't explain how he managed to tear through our security." Selvig shrugs.

"Steroids. He's a bit of a fitness nut." On the Techie's monitor, a DMV record from the State of New York pops up reading 'Dr. Donald Blake'. The license photo is indeed a picture of Thor -- the one Darcy took with her cellphone.

The Techie hits a button, and a graphic reads, 'SHIELD SECURITY ANALYSIS IN PROGRESS.' Coulson eyes the screen. After a beat, he turns back to Selvig. "It says here he's an M.D."

"He is. That is, he was. He switched careers and became a physicist. He's quite brilliant, really." Selvig's heart jumped once again at the lie. "If you would just release him to me, I promise to keep an eye on him."

Coulson thinks, sizing Selvig up -- then smiles, he looked at Norah and she shook her head. Selvig was not being truthful, that was how SHIELD could tell who was lying. They would have Norah listen to their heart beat. Coulson turns to an agent nearby.

"Release Dr. Blake to Dr. Selvig here." The Techie looks to him, surprised. Norah saw what he was doing. "Make sure he stays in town for the next few days in case we need to talk to him again." 

Selvig shakes his hand. "Thank you." He bursts into the room with a SHIELD Agent to find a seated Thor. "Donny, Donny, Donny! There you are!" Thor looks up, unsure what the hell is going on. Selvig pulls Thor to his feet, gives him a warm hug. "It's going to be all right, my friend. Come on, I'm taking you home."

He leads the bewildered Thor out the door. They pass Norah as they leave, Thor looks at her and they lock eyes. Both of their stomachs flip uncontrollably, Norah gives Thor a small smile. He returns it and can feel himself falling for Norah instead of Jane.

As Thor and Selvig make their way past the SHIELD Security Room, Thor notices Jane's possessions and equipment from the Smith Motors lab stacked under a tarp. He spots Jane's handwritten journal among them. As he passes, he quickly takes it from the pile and pockets it.

Coulson looks at the computer bearing Donald Blake's DMV record. A security warning over the image clearly reads 'SECURITY ALERT: FALSIFIED DATA.' He knows it's been a ruse all along thanks to Norah. He looks to Selvig and Thor heading away from the Security Room, then follows them outside.

Coulson and two SHIELD Agents watch as Selvig walks with Thor away from the base to the SUV. He calls to Selvig. "Just keep him away from the bars." Norah laughs under her breath, Coulson sends a smile her way.

"I will!" Selvig calls back.

"Where are we going?" Thor asks, Selvig drops his cool demeanor.

"To get a drink." Selvig and Thor climb into the SUV. As they drive off, Coulson turns to the other two agents -- Garrett and Cale.

"Follow them." He orders and turns to see Norah watching the SUV leaving in amusement. "What?" She smiles.

"They're going to get a drink." She laughs and Coulson joins her. Thor looks in the side view mirror to see Norah laughing with her co-worker, he smiles to himself.
