Sneaking Suspicions

Hospitals and Sneaking Suspicions

It was a chore getting the newly-dubbed Thor into the van. If he was any less crazy, Elaine wouldn't have minded holding his head in her lap on the ride to the hospital (they had already hit him with a car and tazed him, so they were avoiding any other injuries if possible.). It wasn't a stretch to say he was attractive, even without the transfixing attraction of the whole phenomenon. 

"Next time you decide to taser somebody," Selvig grunted, heaving Thor's long legs into the van, "make sure he's already in the car, okay?"

As Darcy climbed to the back with Elaine and Thor,  Selvig persuaded Jane to get in the van. Elaine decided to monitor Thor's breathing instead of listening to the groups bickering as Jane began to drive. Not ten minutes into their journey, Elaine felt the same sensation she had when the first anomaly began. The dizzying effect felt similar to having a few to many drinks, but somehow her senses felt even clearer as she whipped her head in the direction. It felt further than where Thor turned up, but Elaine couldn't tell you how she knew that. She wondered what she would see if she had a window, but instead she just stared at the van's backdoor quizzically.

"Yooouuuu good?" Darcy questioned, holding on to one of the ceiling grips. Elaine slowly turned to meet Darcy's concerned gaze. Carefully nodding, she returned her focus to the van door and then to Thor as she answered.

"You don't feel that?" She asked, looking back to the younger intern who was looking at her like she grew another head.

"Either you're catching his crazy or you did hit your head too hard." Was Darcy's answer, who then turned to watch the scenery through the windshield. From that reaction, Elaine decided to keep any further observations to herself.

Checking Thor into the hospital was another tricky business, as they hadn't been given much information. They're list of facts consisted of: got hit by a car, got tazed, definitely crazy, and Thor. And that last one wasn't set in stone based off the rest of Thor's ramblings. 

While Jane stumbled through the desk nurse's questions, Elaine leaned against the counter, listening to Jane and watching as the ER nurses wheeled him back into a medical room. 

"Name?" 

"He- uh- said that it was Thor?" Jane answered, but sounded like she was asking herself.  She casted a glance at Erik as the nurse typed and spelled aloud. 

"And your relationship to him?" The night nurse questioned. Darcy and Elaine snorted, which earned them a glare. 

"I've never met him before." She admitted, smiling as if to convince the nurse. Darcy beat Elaine to the snarky comment. 

"Yeah, until she hit him with her car." Darcy snickered, causing Jane's eyes to widen.

"Grazed him! I grazed him! But she tasered him!" Jane defended herself. Darcy wistfully stared into the distance.

"Yes, I did." She prided herself, earning a tired sigh from the rest of the group.

The nurse started spewing off information to Jane, and Elaine decided to wander off in the direction that Thor was taken, feeling that same sense of attraction and obligation(?), that she had earlier. Darcy and Erik either didn't notice, or decided to let her be. 

 The closer she got, the more commotion she heard. Nurses and Security guards rushed past her, too preoccupied to tell her she couldn't be back there. When she was about to round a corner, she started to hear that strange accent again. 

"How dare you attack the son of Odin?!" He shouted, and once Elaine did round the corner, she saw Thor, in a hospital gown, fending off at least a dozen hospital staff members. She gasped as he was slammed against the door, but he was still yelling.
