The small trailer is in a state of perpetual disarray, strewn with various books, old pizza boxes, etc. A worried Jane lies on her bed, trying to read. She's startled by the loud rapping on the door. She bolts to the door and opens it to find -- Thor. Standing there with the unconscious Selvig slung over his shoulder.
"Erik!" She turns to Thor, "Is he all right?"
"He's fine. Not injured at all." As Thor enters, he bangs Selvig's head on the doorway. Selvig groans. "Sorry, my friend."
"What happened?"
"We drank. We fought. He made his ancestors proud."
"Put him on the bed." Thor moves through the small trailer carrying Selvig, like a bear lugging another bear, smashing into things along the way, until he finally sets Selvig down on Jane's bed. Selvig awakens groggily and looks up at him through bleary eyes.
"I still don't believe you're the God of Thunder." Selvig pauses, "But you ought to be." Thor grins, pats him on the cheek. As Selvig drifts off to sleep, Thor pulls a blanket over him. Jane watches, stunned by their friendship, impressed by Thor's tenderness.
Thor turns back to her, looks around. "These are your chambers?" Jane suddenly becomes self-conscious. She starts cleaning up the mess around her.
"Well, it's more of a temporary living space, really. I don't usually have visitors in here. Actually, never..." Thor picks up a sock off the floor. She snatches it from him, puts it away. "Can we go outside?"
Thor steps off a ladder onto the roof of Smith Motors. He offers Jane his hand, helps her up. There's a telescope set up, a couple chairs, some blankets. "I come up here sometimes when I can't sleep. Or when I'm trying to reconcile particle data. Or when Darcy's driving me crazy." Jane contemplates her words. "I come up here a lot, now that I think about it." Thor looks at the night sky, filled with stars. "I'm glad you're safe."
"You've been very kind. I've been far less grateful than you deserve." Thor speaks, but has a certain Girl of Steel on his mind.
"I also hit you with my car a couple times, so it kind of evens out." He grins, then reaches into his pocket and pulls out her notebook. "I don't believe it...I never thought I'd see it again after the woman had taken it." She takes it from him, surprised and grateful.
"It was all I could get back. Not as much as I promised. I'm sorry." He had no idea that the alien had taken this from Jane, she didn't seem evil. She looked as if she had been through a lot.
"No, this is good. Thank you. This means I don't have to start from scratch..." She sits down and opens the notebook eagerly, then stops, a harsh realization clouding her face. Thor notices.
"What's wrong?"
"SHIELD, whatever they are. They're never going to let this research see the light of day." She seems distraught.
"You must do this. You must finish what you've started."
"Why?"
"Because you're right. It's taken so many generations for your people to get to this point. You're nearly there. You just need someone to show you how close you really are." Thor moves beside her, opens her notebook, turns to the page which bears a sketch of the Bifrost. He takes the pen from the notebook, begins to add to the sketch, leading from one point to another in space. "Look -- your ancestors called it magic. You call it science. I come from a place where they're one and the same thing." Thor is drawing the branches of Yggdrasil as she looks on, amazed and intrigued.
"What is it?"
"This is how my father explained it to me...Your world is one of the Nine Realms of the Cosmos, linked to each other by the branches of Yggdrasil, the Worlds Tree. Now, you see it every day, without realizing. Images glimpsed through -- what did you call it?..." He checks her telescope "...this Hubble Telescope. So, Nine Realms..." They look at each other. She nods. They smile. This is going to be a long night.
Jane sleeps beside Thor on the blankets on the rooftop. He stares up at the night sky. She rolls close to him, nuzzles against him in her sleep. He looks down at her and leaves the roof, which wakes up Jane. "Where are you going?" She asks him fluttering her eyes. Flirting.
"I'm sorry if I made you think I was interested." Was all Thor said before leaving to look over the town. Jane is left disappointed, but fine with being just friends.

Coulson and Norah race in as a SHIELD Techie pulls up satellite footage of the Bifrost storm on a monitor. "What the hell was that?"
"I don't know, sir. We got massive energy readings out of nowhere, then they just disappeared. Fifteen miles due northwest."
Coulson looks to Norah, "Let's go take a look."
**********
A few SHIELD vehicles are parked by the Bifrost site. A few SHIELD agents stand nearby as scientists take readings. Coulson kneels, examines the Bifrost Runes. He turns to Norah. "Can you read it?" Knowing that she knows almost every language in the universe because of her advanced mind.
"Get somebody from Linguistics out here." She ordered when she didn't understand anything, leaving Coulson in shock. Just then, they hear a rumbling overhead, as the Bifrost storm roars in the sky above. Coulson and the SHIELD Agents scramble for cover while Norah stood there, their vehicle windshields shattering, as the Bifrost storm grows in strength.
Finally, the hole in the sky overhead opens, and the funnel cloud explodes out of it, touching down onto the desert floor. Coulson and the Agents, even Norah, shelter their eyes from the maelstrom.
**********
Thor and the others see the Bifrost storm forming in the distance. "Was somebody else coming?" Darcy asks. Just then, the Bifrost funnel explodes down to the ground.

From behind a jeep, Coulson and the SHIELD agents stare at the Destroyer in awe, while Norah glares, it attacked her friends. It's just a shadow as it moves towards them.
"Is that one of Stark's?" An agent asks Coulson while looking at the Destroyer.
"I don't think so. But the guy doesn't tell me anything." Coulson grabs a megaphone, steps forward next to Norah, and calls out to the Destroyer. "Hello! You're using unregistered weapons technology. Please identify yourself." They hear the hum of the Destroyer's fiery energy power up inside. "Incoming!" Coulson yells out.
As the SHIELD Agents scramble for cover, a blast of energy from the Destroyer is shot at some agents. Norah acts quickly and jumps in front of the beam, Loki stops the Destroyer in shock of the woman's bravery. "Norah!" Coulson yells out in worry, they don't know if this could hurt her.
But the dust clears to reveal that the blast disintegrated her clothes, all that was left was her super suit. She looked up at the Destroyer to reveal one thing.
