"I can't just leave him there!" Jane exclaimed, her frustration palpable as she paced back and forth in the empty lab. Erik watched her with a mixture of confusion and concern, while Darcy flipped through the pages of a book Erik had found in the library.
"Why not?" The man asked, his tone emotionless.
"You didn't see what I saw!" Jane stopped in front of him, her eyes wide with urgency.
"Hey! Myeu-muh!" Darcy chimed in excitedly, pointing at an illustration of the hammer she had discovered in the book. Jane rushed over and examined the page closely.
"Where did you find this?" Jane asked, turning to Selvig, who had taken the book from them and quickly closed it.
"In the children's section. I wanted to show you how ridiculous his story was," Selvig replied, a hint of exasperation in his voice.
"I know this book," Jane insisted, recalling her previous encounters with its contents. "I was reading it when I met John, who told me about the theory—"
"Don't start about that man again, Jane," Darcy interrupted, her tone firm but playful.
"Don't you think it's a strange coincidence that the first time we studied these bridges, it led us to this mythology, and now, here we are again?" Jane sighed, noticing Erik's skeptical expression. "Aren't you the one who's always told me to chase down all leads, all possibilities?"
"I was talking about science, not magic!" Erik shot back.
"Magic's just science we don't understand yet, Arthur C. Clarke." Jane countered.
"Who wrote science fiction," Erik replied, his tone dismissive.
"The precursor of science fact," Jane shot back defiantly.
"In some cases," Erik conceded, but Jane could see him wavering.
"If that's really an Einstein-Rosen Bridge out there, then there's something on the other side," she continued, her voice growing more passionate with each word. "Advanced beings could have come through it before."
"A primitive culture like the Vikings might have worshipped them as deities," Darcy added unexpectedly, catching both Jane and Erik off guard with her insightful input.
Jane pointed at Darcy, grateful for the unexpected support. "Yes! Exactly! Thank you!"
Erik sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Jane, if you do this, you'll find yourself in a situation that I won't be able to get you out of this time."
"I'll help you," Darcy offered, her determination matching Jane's.
Selvig looked at the two women, recognizing that there was no stopping Jane once she set her mind to something. He sighed and rolled his eyes, a reluctant smile creeping onto his face. "Fine." ___________
