Meanwhile, as people gathered around the mysterious hammer, the fallen figure who had been struck by the van was loaded inside it. The van belonged to two beautiful women and an old man, while a handsome young man helped them.
"Darcy, bring me some medical supplies," the old man commanded the girl wearing glasses.
"Of course, Dr. Selvig," Darcy nodded and began searching through her bag for medical supplies.
Jane checked the stranger's vital signs.
"He's a miracle. Even after falling from the sky, he wasn't seriously injured."
"Jane, are you sure he fell from the sky?" Dr. Selvig asked. He had asked her the same question several times.
"Of course, Dr. Selvig. I even have a picture of him in the middle of the tornado before he fell to the ground," Jane replied, pointing to the picture, which showed a human figure inside the tornado.
The old man was Dr. Erik Selvig, a famous scientist known for his theories about aliens and extraterrestrial beings. His research often focused on extraterrestrial phenomena.
The beautiful woman was Jane Foster, a scientist and Dr. Erik Selvig's assistant. The girl wearing glasses was Darcy Lewis, another assistant. Together, they searched for evidence of extraterrestrial life and phenomena.
Ben was with them because he had helped them carry the unconscious man. He had also witnessed the man falling from the sky. Ben had warned them that if they didn't take him along, he would report everything to the police. Because of this, they agreed to let him come with them.
"So, Mr. Ben, what do you do?" Erik asked. "Our work is focused on finding extraterrestrial beings and phenomena. That's why we're interested in this man. If you aren't interested in this field, then you're only wasting your time and ours."
"I have some interest in it, so don't try to hide anything from me. This may have nothing to do with me, but I want to know everything about this man," Ben replied. He wasn't going to let them leave him out.
"Okay. We'll discuss how we can cooperate on this project after this man wakes up," Erik said.
Everyone then focused their attention on the unconscious stranger.

Inside the vehicle, Jane Foster, Darcy Lewis, Ben, and Dr. Erik Selvig continued examining the mysterious unconscious stranger, unaware of his identity or the events that would soon unfold.
Meanwhile, Phil Coulson, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had previously helped Iron Man and advised Tony Stark to keep his identity secret, arrived at the location with his S.H.I.E.L.D. team.
Seeing the situation around the mysterious hammer, Coulson contacted someone through his communication device.
"Sir, I've found a mysterious hammer. Many people have tried to lift it, but no one has been able to move it," he reported.
"Secure the area and the hammer. Remove the civilians and establish a perimeter around it," the voice on the other end ordered.
"Understood, boss," Phil Coulson replied.
After ending the call, he turned to his team.
"Secure the area around the hammer and remove the civilians."
His team immediately began carrying out his orders.
"What's going on with my life? Every time one problem is solved, another one appears. Looks like I need to ask for a raise," Coulson muttered while rubbing his forehead.
He couldn't shake the feeling that the mysterious hammer was going to cause even more trouble.
He also needed to discover what the hammer was made of, why no one could lift it, and whether it could be useful to S.H.I.E.L.D.

In another part of New Mexico, Ben, Jane, Darcy, and Dr. Selvig were looking at the fallen man, who had woken up. He introduced himself, revealed the mystery surrounding him, and made a shocking claim.
"So, you're saying you're Thor Odinson, the God of Thunder and son of Odin, the King of Asgard? Does Asgard really exist, or are you making fun of us?" Jane asked. She didn't believe Thor any more than she believed Ben.
"And you're also claiming that you were exiled from Asgard and came to Earth. How can a father exile his son to another planet? I think you lost your memory after falling from such a height and need proper treatment," Darcy said, agreeing with Jane.
"Jane, I think there is some truth to his words. We've already seen the hammer that fell with him, and its shape resembles the weapon of the Thunder God, Mjolnir," Dr. Erik said, showing them a book containing information about Norse mythology.
Mjolnir was the same mysterious hammer that had fallen nearby.
"Yes, I believe him too," Ben said with a nod.
"Okay, if you guys believe him, then there must be some truth to his words," Jane agreed.
Thor, now exiled to Earth, found some happiness in their company, especially Jane Foster. Jane explained various things about Earth, while Thor told her about his home, Asgard, and the Nine Realms.
"Jane, you must understand," Thor explained, becoming more interested as he described his home. He never expected that simply talking about Asgard would make him feel happy.
"The Nine Realms are unlike anything you've ever seen. Asgard, my home, is the jewel of the Nine Realms."
Their conversation revealed the mysteries of the Nine Realms, while Thor also learned more about Earth, which he knew as Midgard.
Neither of them realized when their conversations became more personal. During their quiet moments in New Mexico, they grew closer, and a subtle romance began to develop between them.
However, unbeknownst to them, another mysterious figure had appeared and was quietly observing Thor.
After seeing Jane enter the van, the figure appeared in front of Thor.
Thor was shocked when he saw the mysterious man. He immediately embraced him and began crying with happiness, asking several questions at once.
"Loki, I thought I would never see you again. How is Father? How is Mother? Did Father forgive me and send you to bring me back?"
The mysterious figure, Loki Odinson, revealed the reason for his visit.
"Brother, I bring you terrible news. Our father is no more, and his final wish was that you never return to Asgard."
Thor was shocked. His eyes became moist as he struggled to accept the news.
"Loki, is it really true?" he asked, seeking confirmation.
Loki nodded.
Realizing that his father was truly dead and that he could never return to his homeland, Thor felt a heavy burden on his heart.
"Please take care of Mother and rule Asgard. Protect it from any foreign threats," Thor said, accepting reality and giving Loki his best wishes.
"Of course," Loki replied.
After one final hug, Loki disappeared.
Thor could no longer contain his sorrow. Tears filled his eyes as he watched Loki disappear into the night.
Just then, Jane Foster emerged from the van and noticed Thor's sadness. She approached him and offered him comfort.
In that moment of grief, Thor and Jane's connection deepened. Thor found comfort in Jane, while Jane felt even closer to him.
Neither realized that their shared sadness had brought them closer, giving Thor a temporary escape from his grief.
And together they crossed the forbidden limits, and accepted each other in their arms. The sorrow hid far away, and the passionate night embraced them.
They break the final barrier in between their two bodies and uniting them into one soul. And Thor and Jane continued to explore the depths of their newfound love.
A new day appeared, and Darcy had a strange expression looking at the closeness of Thor and Jane. And since she is a girl, it does not take more than a moment to analyze her. Both of them crossed the limits, and already cooked the rice.
They turned to a new topic, which Ben found boring, so he left the conversation. He had already learned enough about the Nine Realms.
However, the other four continued talking, barely noticing that Ben had left.
"So, in the end, my friend Bruce Banner decided to perform the Gamma experiment on himself, even though I advised him not to," Dr. Erik Selvig said, recalling Bruce Banner's transformation into the Hulk.
"And then there was an incredible burst of energy. In an instant, Bruce transformed into a colossal green behemoth. It was both terrifying and awe-inspiring. The sheer power of the Hulk was unlike anything I had ever witnessed."
"Whenever he becomes angrier, he grows stronger. However, during his transformation, he loses his reasoning and becomes a mindless monster."
"Then S.H.I.E.L.D. intervened, and I never heard anything about Bruce Banner again."
Erik described the colossal green figure in detail, revealing the mystery behind Banner's disappearance.
Jane and Darcy were amazed by the story, but Thor remained nonchalant.
"That's nothing compared to my adventures," Thor said before sharing one of his own stories.
"It was the story of Jotunheim, a realm filled with frost and ice. The Frost Giants live there."
"They were formidable foes, but my friends and I fought them bravely. I had to use all my strength and courage to defeat them. It was a battle I will never forget."
Jane, Erik, Darcy, and Thor continued sharing stories about their experiences. Their conversations deepened their bond, while Jane and Thor grew closer.
Meanwhile, Ben returned to Crown Haven Villa to tell Amelia what had happened. However, not even a day had passed before Upgrade TV issued the same warning it had given when Thor appeared.
"Babe, I'm going to check what happened. It could be another Asgardian or something else," Ben said before heading to the location.
The Bifrost, the cosmic bridge connecting the Nine Realms, opened in the sky, casting colorful lights across the darkness.
Four silhouettes descended from the Bifrost, each radiating an otherworldly presence. One was a woman, while the other three were men.
They were Lady Sif and the Warriors Three—Fandral, Volstagg, and Hogun.
Although Ben had never met them, their appearances matched the descriptions Thor had given him about his adventures.
