One Body, Two Personalities

Truths Revealed

On the bridge, Coulson was talking to Thor and Zack. "As soon as we heard about Selvig, we moved Jane Foster. We've got an excellent observatory in Tromphto. She was asked there to consult there very suddenly yesterday. Handsome fee, private plane, very remote. She'll be safe."  

Thor nods. "Thank you." 

Coulson then adds, "Todd, we also moved yours and Marcus's family along with Danielle Dunoi's to Nevada." 

"I'm sure Marcus appreciates that too." Zack smiles. 

"It was no accident, Loki taking Erik Selvig." Thor states. "I dread what he plans for him, once he's done. Erik is a good man." 

"He talks about you a lot." Coulson says. "You changed his life. You changed everything around here." 

Thor sighs. "They were better as they were. We pretend on Asgard that were more advanced, but we come here battling like Bilgesnipe." 

"Like what?" Zack says dumbfounded. 

"Bilgesnipe. You know huge, scaly, big antlers, you don't have those?" 

"We've got mooses and rhinos, but no. Nothing like that." 

"Well, they are repulsive." Thor says grimly. "They trample everything in their path." 

Thor then looks out at the window. "When I first came to Earth, Loki's rage followed me here. Your people paid the price, and now again. In my youth I called it war." 

"War hasn't started yet." Thor and Zack look up and see Fury on the stairwell. "You think you can make Loki tell us where the Tesseract is?" 

"I do not know. Loki's mind is far afield, it's not just power he craves, it's vengeance upon me. There is no pain his pride won't block out." 

"A lot of guys think that." Fury says walking down the stairs. "Till the pain starts." 

"What are you asking me to do?" Thor inquires. 

"I'm asking, what are you prepared to do?" Fury clarifies.  

"Loki is a prisoner." 

"Then why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants to be here?" Fury says. 

"Sir!" Hill calls. Fury turns and looks at his lieutenant. "We have a problem."

Marcus and Steve hide behind a crate as a guard walks by. The pair then climb up to the upper level and see various cases. 

Marcus flips the clips on one and widens his eyes at what he sees. Steve walks over and gives a surprised look as well.

Fury storms into the lab and stares Stark and Banner. "What are you doing, Mr. Stark?" 

"Uh, kinda been wondering the same thing about you." Stark replies smugly. 

"You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract." 

"We are." Banner answers. "The model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get a hit, we'll have the location within half a mile." 

"Then you'll get your Cube back, no mas." Stark looks at his screen as something pops up. "What is Phase 2?" 

Suddenly the three hear a loud bang and see Marcus with his Symbiote armor, standing beside a very angry Steve Rogers. He had placed a large energy weapon of some kind on the table.
