The truck sat in the spot where the man had last left it. It sat there normally, undisturbed. He walked toward it, taking out his keys from his pocket. He had barely touched the keyhole when there was a terrible screeching sound. The truck suddenly began rising. The man could only slowly back away, his mouth agape. Slowly, as the truck was in midair, it began to spin. The man dropped his keys and began to quickly back away from the truck, but not tearing his eyes from the sight of it levitating and spinning. The truck then began to screech again and with one big crash, the truck dropped straight down onto its side, shattering glass everywhere. The man finally shook out of his trance. He turned and ran out of the garage, so surprised he wasn't able to think straight.

~X~

Thor stood at the end of the rainbow bridge where the bifrost once stood, looking into the depths of space. He was careful not to stand too close to the edge in fear that the unstable, splintered end of the bridge where he had broken it, would give out to the slightest of weight. It most definitely could not hold Mjolnir, his mighty hammer that he held at his side. There was no threat or need to carry the weapon, but lately he felt incomplete without it with him. The last time he had actually had a need to use it was in New York when he was last on Earth. He thought about the Avengers and how he found himself missing them, even though they had all had a shaky start in the beginning by not getting along well. It had all worked out though, and now Loki sat in Asgardian prison. As he stared into the pits of space, he found himself, once again, missing his brother's company. Not the evil brother that Loki had turned into, but the Loki that had always been not only his brother, but his best friend. A Loki that would always stick by Thor's side no matter what stupid choices Thor made. Although he often denied it, deep down Thor knew that the mischievous, but loyal brother he once knew was all together gone forever, leaving a selfish, revenge-seeking adopted brother in his place.

Lost in his thoughts, Thor barely noticed the presence of Sif behind him. He let her approach his side and lay her hand on his soldier. He knew that she could tell what he was thinking about. Sif had been Loki's friend too. It was a little comforting to Thor to know that his friends were there and shared the pain of losing the old Loki they loved as well.

"Thor, your father would like to talk to you. There was a small disturbance on Earth." Sif said after a moment of silence. Thor grinned and sighed.

"It never stops, does it?" he said quietly. He turned to Sif and smiled, giving her arm a light squeeze. She sadly smiled back, and followed him as he walked back towards the castle.

Odin sat in the dining hall, alone at the giant table centered in the middle of the room. Thor remembered throwing over the very same table with rage after he found out that he would unexpectedly not be crowned king the day he was supposed to, due to an infiltration by the frost giants. He thought of how much he had changed since then.

His father was facing the other way, obviously in deep thought.

"Father? Lady Sif said you wanted to speak with me." Thor said walking to Odin. The king turned and nodded and sighed.

"Sit down, there is much to tell." Thor could tell by the tone of his voice that whatever disturbance on Earth that Sif had mentioned wouldn't be good news. He could only hope that the bad news didn't involve Jane. "You know about the dark elves," Odin started. Thor nodded.

"They are the race that inhabits the seventh realm, Svartalfheim." Thor thought aloud. His father dipped his head down and continued.

"On Earth in London yesterday a strange happening occurred. A normal civilian had gone to open his automobile when suddenly Earth's laws of gravity were defied. The truck had completely lifted off the ground and spun in midair with everything inside also a victim of the antigravity effect. This is a sign of dark magic; of dark elf magic." Odin finished while studying his son's confused face. It took a minute for Thor to think about this case, but he was still left with many questions.

"But why use an act of magic to do something as small as lifting a human's truck? What is that supposed to prove? And why have we heard nothing from elves before until now? And why now?" Thor knew he was asking a lot of questions, but he wasn't clear on what his father was getting at.

"Some believe that before the universe, there was nothing: They're wrong. There was darkness, and it has survived through the elves. Ever since the beginning of time when darkness was defeated, the elves had been quiet and did not make a name for themselves. I believe, though, that this is only because they were weak, and eventually one day when they grew strong enough again, they would attempt to reclaim their darkness over the universe." Thor raised his eyebrows at his father.

"And you think that day has come?" Thor asked understanding now.

"Not quite yet. I believe that the little stunt that happened was only a statement or a warning. A sign to tell us that something much bigger is coming." He finished. Thor looked away from his father and stared into the fire that blazed on the head of the torch. He thought the whole scenario through. Will this universe ever be at peace? Thor couldn't help but let his mind wander to Jane. Does she know of this? These kind of strange occurrences were just what she studied about. Was she in any way involved?

Thor was suddenly aware of his father watching him, his head tilted as he studied Thor's face. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Odin give a knowing smile and a chuckle. Thor turned and couldn't help but give a confused smile at his father's sudden change in mood.

"What?" Thor asked.

"You are wondering about her, aren't you?" asked his father. Thor didn't need to nod; his father knew the answer. "Yes, she knows about this disruption. In fact, she is at the site now. Heimdall told me he saw both Jane and Darcy. They were both called in to investigate the scene and are both safe." Thor sighed with relief that they were alright.

"So what should we do?" asked Thor after a while. He watched his father get up from the table and begin to walk out of the room. Right as he reached the threshold, he turned back to look at Thor.

"You should probably go and inspect the site of the disruption." Odin smiled through his snow-white beard. "Those girls could use some help investigating, don't you think?" Odin turned and started through the doorway leaving Thor beaming at his father's statement. He was going to see Jane again! He had patiently waited this moment for months now and did not think he could stand another second without seeing her. He followed his father out the room and fell in step beside him.

"When do I leave? How will I get there?" he said excited now. Odin just smiled.

"You will leave as soon as you are ready and as for the means of getting there, you will have to wait and see. But remember you are on Earth for a reason. I am guessing that the show with the truck was only the beginning to something bigger."

Thor nodded. "I won't forget." He said. Odin led his son into a small room with caramel colored walls that shone in the fire's light. The only object that was in the room laid in a case in the center with two guards on either side: the tesseract. It had rested there, unharmed ever since Thor and Loki used it to return from New York. "Is this how I am getting to Earth?" he asked his father.

"Almost." replied Odin. "We were able to harness the energy from the tesseract," he began. ", into this." He handed a small trinket to Thor, no larger than a small dagger. It had two rings; one on the outside and one on the inside. In the middle was a small ball of blue that glowed with the intensity of lightning. Thor knew that this was the energy from the tesseract.

"It works just like the transporter that brought you and Loki home from New York. Just twist the knob that is on the side of the outside ring and it will take you where you need to go." He said gesturing to the small metal knob that looked like the dial that changed the time on humans' watches. Thor nodded and held it up to take a better look at it. "You have Mjolnir?" Odin asked.

"Do you think I would have a need for it?" wondered Thor. His father shrugged.

"You never know." Odin answered. "Ready?" This caught Thor off guard. He didn't know he was leaving so soon.

"Now?" Thor asked surprised.

"I fear that the dark elves will not wait for whatever attack they may be planning. The sooner you are ready, the better." He said.

Thor nodded and picked up his hammer that he had laid at the doorway. He felt himself getting excited as his stomach twisted in knots. He did not know whether it was the thought of seeing Jane again or just going back to Earth that excited him. Loki never understood why Thor loved Earth so much: Thor wasn't sure that he understood himself. But he did love Earth and the innocence of the humans. He enjoyed how at least one world was free from worrying about all of the other worlds and disruptions in the universe. But that had changed after the events with the Avengers. The thought of other races or "aliens" as the humans called them, was exposed after the invasion.

Thor held up the gadget that his father had given him and twisted the knob on the outside ring. The blue ball of tesseract energy began to shine even brighter and the gold-colored rings began to spin; the outside ring clockwise and the inner ring counter-clockwise. A buzzing, whiny noise began to build like a machine powering up.

"Good luck!" was the last thing he heard from his father before the bright light completely filled his mind and the only thing he could hear was the high pitched hum of the tesseract energy. The sensation was not unlike the feeling of being transported by the bifrost. The sense of being ripped off your feet and yanked into a wormhole while being thrown into the depths of space at incredible speed was familiar to Thor.

In no more than five seconds, Thor felt ground beneath his feet. He bent his knees to steady himself as he touched down.

~X~

Jane sat on the steps of the school near the site of the disturbance. She held her data in her lap and was going over all of her research. It had only been a few hours since her and Darcy had arrived in London where the floating truck still laid after in crashed back onto the ground. The night before, they were informed of the strange disruption in gravity. Ever since Thor had come to Earth and changed everything, Jane's research had taken new heights and her theories became more famous. She still held on to the tree that Thor drew of the nine realms and devoted her research mainly to the other forms of life and gateways in space. Whenever something unexplainable happened, she and Darcy were usually called in.

Jane thought about Thor. She wondered when he would come back. He had promised that he would, and he believed him. Erik had told her that when he met with him after the Avengers had defeated Thor's brother, Loki, in New York, Thor had said that the rainbow bridge connection was no longer accessible. He had told Erik to tell Jane that he would return someday soon though. Jane knew that he would, but often she found herself wondering if she would ever see him again. She heard footsteps approach her from her right as Darcy sat down next to her.

"All of the equipment is set up at the truck site." She said while checking her phone. "And Daniel has got his cameras set up around the area." Jane rolled her eyes. Daniel was a photographer that had joined her and Darcy on all of their investigations. They had met him shortly after Erik left to work for shield and he was all that Darcy would talk about these days. Jane loved her like she was her own sister but she really got on her nerves sometimes.

"I'll finish going over what we have and be right over. Go ahead and start without me." Jane said while still scanning over her papers. Darcy looked over at Jane, trying to read her face. Jane knew that Darcy worried about her. Ever since Thor left, Jane became more involved in her work. It was the only thing that distracted her from missing him.

"Alright." Darcy said after a while. She placed her hand on Jane's shoulder and got up off of the step. Jane watched her disappear behind the wall of the garage where the truck was. She then turned attention back to go and her notebook and continued going through her data.

~X~

The first thing that Thor saw when he walked into the garage from behind the building, was the truck that sat on its side. There was shattered glass surrounding the front of the truck and one of the doors was jarred open. He walked towards the truck while looking around the room for any other unusual signs. He smiled when he saw equipment set up all around the perimeter of the chamber, but not just any equipment: Jane's equipment. They were very same machines that covered the research lab where Jane, Darcy, and Selvig had once studied. It was same equipment that Jane had been so torn up about when they were taken by the son Coul.

Just as he was only but a few feet from the truck, he heard footsteps coming up behind him by the entrance of the chamber. Thor wasn't sure if he wanted to be seen or not. Would whoever was coming want some stranger dressed as an Asgardian poking around the scene of the disturbance? He guessed not. Looking around and finding no other place to go, Thor ran around the edge of the truck and hid behind it, trying not to step on glass as he went. He hid behind the automobile just in time. A girl with dark-brown, wavy hair and glasses walked in. Thor smiled; it was Darcy. She was walking into the garage while looking at her phone which all humans were constantly on.

Thor shifted his weight to stand but ended up breaking more glass that littered the floor. He heard a small gasp from Darcy's direction and stopped.

"Who's there?" she demanded. "You're not allowed to be here! This is a restricted area!" Through what was left of the window of the truck, Thor saw Darcy pull out a familiar gadget that he couldn't remember the name of. "I have a Taser!" she said pointing it to the truck. Thor couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Now that is something I do not want to go through again." He said smiling. He heard the clank of the Taser which Darcy had dropped in shock. She stood there, mouth agape. He rose from behind the truck and picked up Mjolnir.

"Thor!?" she nearly shrieked. Thor smiled.

"Now who else do you know that wears heavy armor and a red cape and carries a giant hammer around?" he asked holding out his arms. She just stared at him like he wasn't real. He walked out from behind the truck towards her. "Darcy?" She finally let out an excited breath and smiled.

"Oh my god." She said, nearly whispering. "It's really you!" She dropped her hands to her side that were still held up like she was aiming the Taser. "Oh my god!" she repeated. Darcy ran at Thor and threw her arms around him. Thor laughed and hugged her. "She's going to be so happy! She's missed you so much!" She said talking fast. Darcy didn't need to say who she was talking about; Thor knew it was obviously Jane. "We've both missed you." She said still talking as if her words were one rapid sentence.

"I've missed you too." Thor said finally releasing Darcy.

"But wh- what are you doing here? Where have you been?" Darcy said clearly still not believing that Thor was actually here in front of her. "Erik said that the link between our worlds was destroyed or something." She said looking up at Thor in disbelief.

Thor was suddenly reminded of why he came here in the first place. "The occurrence with the truck, it was much more serious then you may think." He said. "Where's Jane? I need to tell you both about this." Darcy's face went from concerned about Thor's statement on the truck, to immediately thrilled at mention of Jane.

"She is across the street on the steps looking over data." said Darcy. Thor dipped his head in thanks and ran to leave the garage, eager to see Jane. At the opening he turned back; Darcy was still standing there.

"Aren't you coming?" he asked pointing outside with his thumb.

Darcy smiled. "You go on ahead. I'm sure you two have some catching up to do." Thor smiled back.

"Thanks Darcy." He said and walked out onto the side walk. The sun shone down and seemed to light up everything on the street in a bright glow. Thor had always admired how the sun completely lit up Earth in the day time, making the entire sky one beautiful shade of blue. In Asgard, you could always see the darkness of space somewhere, even if the sun was out.

London was much different from New Mexico where Thor had first come to Earth. There was a lot more building and structures. The same went for cars and there was definitely more people that littered the streets. It was not difficult to find Jane, though. She sat alone on the white marble steps of a building that did not exactly fit in with the industrial look of the area. She was looking down at papers on her lap with her golden brown hair spilling over the page. He smiled just at the sight of her. He couldn't wait to hold her in his arms, but he had learned better then to jump in front of a moving car from when he was hit twice. Even with his immortality, he guessed it would not be a pleasant impact.

Once all automobiles had cleared Thor ran to the other side of the street and headed towards the school that was on his far right. As he got closer to the building, Jane stood and started packing up all of her data and research into her bag. Thor quietly climbed the side steps of the school, three steps at a time. He edged to the set of steps where Jane stood once he was far enough behind her so that she would not catch him in the corner of her eye. He then descended towards her from behind being careful not make any sounds.

He was only two steps away when he carefully, silently set his hammer down and approached her from behind. Thor wrapped his arms around her from behind. She jumped at the sudden touch.

"Miss me?" he quietly asked. He acknowledged that many civilians were watching them, not accustomed to seeing an Asgardian in a long red cape and armor from head to toe, but he didn't care. The only thing that mattered at that moment was her. Jane's eyes grew wide and she spun around in his arms and threw her arms around his neck. He lifted her and spun her around; he had spent so much time waiting for this moment. They stood there for a while, breathing heavily and embracing each other. She finally stepped back and cupped the side of his face with her hand as if she was checking if he was real.

"It's really you." She whispered. "I began to think that I would never see you again." She said, looking into his eyes; those stormy eyes that she had longed to see for so long. Thor gave her a sad-looking smile.

"I gave you my word, did I not?" he said taking her hand. She laughed and shook her head like she couldn't believe that they were finally together again. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled herself close again. Thor pressed his forehead to her head while holding her close. He never wanted this moment to end, but…

"I think we have an audience." He heard Jane whisper. Sure enough as he looked over Jane at the street in front of the school, a small crowd had accumulated of people gazing in confusion at Thor.

Thor chuckled. "Let's get back to the truck." He took Jane's hand in his, and with the other he reached back and grabbed his hammer. As soon as Jane slung her bag over her shoulder, they started down the steps together.

"So you know about the truck?" she asked not daring to turn her gaze from him.

"It's why my father sent me here." explained Thor.

"Why did it do that? I was reading through all of my statistics and could not piece together a logical answer. Although since your father sent you here to deal with it, there's probably some mystical answer like wizards or something." Jane said jokingly. Thor just smiled.

"You're sort of close." He said leading her into the entrance of the garage. He smiled as Jane's eyes grew wide. He let her ponder for a while before looking her and saying: "Dark elves." Jane's eyebrows went up and she laughed in disbelief.

"Elves?" she said. "Dark elves caused this?"

"Dark elves?" sounded a voice from near the tipped truck. Darcy emerged from behind a large metal machine with a surprised look on her face. "It's good to see you two together again." She added changing her surprised expression to an adoring face.

"They are much more dangerous than they sound, the elves." clarified Thor.

"Right, well I am going to go meet with Daniel over in the courtyard down the street where he is set up." Darcy slowly said. "Don't do anything too unexpected and amazing without me." She told Thor.

He laughed. "I'll try." And with that, Darcy left the chamber.

"So tell me more about the elves." said Jane with her arm still around Thor. He went on to tell Jane everything that his father told him only twenty minutes ago.

"So your father thinks that something bigger will happen soon and the stunt with the truck was only a warning?" asked Jane staring at the truck in deep thought. Thor knew that she knew the answer and was just going over the new information. "When do you think the greater event will take place?" she asked worriedly looking into Thor's eyes.

"I'm not sure, but very soon." replied Thor while stroking her hair trying to reassure her that everything would be okay.

"How soon?" she asked leaning into his hand.

"Well-"Thor began, but he was interrupted by screams erupting from outside. He was about to go check out what was going on out on the street but Darcy's voice broadcasted from a small radio at the other end of the room.

"Jane! Jane! It's huge! I've never seen anything like it! It's destroying everything!" her frantic voice shrieked. There was then a loud click. It sounded as though Darcy had dropped her radio device. Jane looked at Thor and then raced to the radio and picked it up.

"Darcy!?" she repeated over and over again into the device, but there was no response. She desperately looked over at Thor. "We need to get over there." She said grabbing her bag and walking to the door.

Thor held out his hand and caught his hammer when it flew at him. He ran after Jane into the day sun.

The streets were now more cluttered with a chaotic scene of people yelling and shrieking. There were cars that had completely stopped and the people driving had their windows rolled down so they could stick their heads out to get a better look. As soon as Thor and Jane had stepped out onto the sidewalk, they were constantly pushed and shoved by the continuous bustle of people frantically rushing in every direction. It was only when Thor looked up through the trees when he saw it.

Darcy had just found Daniel in the crowd of people in the courtyard when the first person saw it. She had greeted Daniel and approached him and his camera tripod when a yell came out from a few meters away from where they stood.

"Oh my god!" the voice had screamed. Darcy whipped her head around to find a lady much older than herself staring with horror up at the sky ahead of Darcy. She raised a shaky finger to point to the sky. Darcy turned her head again to where the lady was pointing: Out of nowhere, there was suddenly a giant black form that seemed to have materialized out of thin air. It looked almost like a weird T shape from where she stood. It came closer, growing bigger as it drew near coming right to where Darcy and Daniel were standing. Screams had erupted from behind her.

"What is that?" yelled Daniel over the shrieks. He stared at it like he was in a trance, but suddenly as if his daze broke, he shook his head and positioned his camera at the strange flying spacecraft structure. The craft was only a few feet away from the ground now and was not slowing. Darcy flinched as the bottoms of the dark ship hit the ground of the courtyard, tearing through Earth and still advancing towards where they stood. The people that were once where the ship was ripping through terrain were now gone after they fled as fast as they could to their cars or as far away as they could run.

Darcy broke her gaze from the approaching unknown object as well and dug in her jacket for her walkie-talkie. She found it and held down the TALK button.

"Jane! Jane! It's huge! I've never seen anything like it! It's destroying everything!" she screamed into the microphone. She was about to go on, but Daniel yelled her name and pulled her back with him as he started to run in the other direction. The ship was nearly on top of them now and going much faster than they were running. She dropped the walkie-talkie and ran alongside Daniel as fast as her legs could carry her. She didn't have time to think, just run for her life. Daniel and Darcy tried to veer right out of the craft's path but the ship was so ginormous that Darcy wasn't sure they would make it out, but she had no choice. She just held on to Daniel's hand and ran.

The ship was massive and dark. It tore through the Earth easily without slowing. Jane and Thor had pushed through the crowd of pedestrians and reached the courtyard that Darcy had mentioned as the advancing ship nearly reached the street. It had torn a gash that was at least 20 feet wide and four times as long into the yards grass. Thor thought the gash had to have been at least 10 feet deep, and it only got deeper as the structure continued to tear through the ground.

"Darcy!" Jane suddenly shrieked from beside Thor. He followed her horrified gaze to the base of where the ship was slashing thought the soil; Darcy and a man that he presumed to be Daniel were barely ahead of the vessel trying to get out of the path by running diagonal from its route. They were almost out from under the ship, but Thor could tell if they would make it in time before the craft would crush them. Knowing that there wouldn't be time but willing to try anyways, Thor wound up his hammer, ready to soar over and hopeful lift Daniel and Darcy out of the way of the ship.

"Wait!" he heard Jane scream from beside him. He looked over to where Darcy and Daniel were running: It was too late. The ship was basically on top of them, their paths finally intersecting. When it seemed that the craft couldn't get any closer, the closest edge of the ship to Darcy just barely passed by her. Thor watched as she sensed it as the elf craft passed. She dropped to her knees and rested on her heels. Thor wanted to go and see if she and Daniel were alright but they were still yards away and the craft was still advancing.

"Go ahead and check on Darcy and Daniel. I need to stop the elves from doing any more damage." Thor told Jane squeezing her hand.

"So these are definitely dark elves?" Jane asked Thor, but not taking her eyes off of the spacecraft.

"I think so." answered Thor. "And I bet there isn't only one elf manning that ship." That made Jane's eyes go wide. She looked anxiously at Thor.

"Will you be okay?" she asked looking into his eyes. Thor just laughed and put a hand on Jane's shoulder.

"Believe me; I have dealt with much worse." He gave Jane's hand one last squeeze before he spun Mjolnir and flew into the sky towards the spacecraft.

As Thor drew closer, he noted how the elf ship was made of many jagged layers of what seemed like a type of stone. He also noticed that on the top of the craft, what he thought were just more spikes of rock jutting out from the vessel were actually elves. They were dressed in dark clothing, but their skin was a white that shone next to the dark ship. Thor raised his hammer over his head as he landed on top of the T shaped structure. Elves were immediately on him with various weapons that he had never seen before. Thor swung his hammer knocking two elves off of the ship and down to their dooms. Another elf came at him with what looked like a double-sided spear. Just as the elf was about to make contact with Thor, the god raised his hammer and the two weapons collided.

Thor easily deflected the blow from the double-headed spear, but only to get another quick slash at him once again. The battle went on like this for a while; the elf's blows being deflected each time only for the elf to take a jab at Thor once again, not giving him enough time to take a blow of his own. Finally Thor kicked out his right leg into the elf's leg, sending him down on his back onto the craft. Thor then easily tossed the elf aside with a flick of Mjolnir.

Thor began to walk to the only opening that he could find on the elven vessel when suddenly it came to an abrupt halt that knocked Thor off of his feet onto his stomach. He pushed himself up with one arm and kept hold of Mjolnir in the other. He stood observed the scene. They had stopped right before the craft collided with the first building. The huge building was bigger than most in the area with giant windows covering each wall from top to bottom. Thor waited in the brief moment of silence that created a suspenseful atmosphere. It was completely silent as everyone just stopped and watched the foreign ship no matter where they were: on the street, in a car, or crowding the window of a restaurant.

After a minute or two, Thor could not stand the silence any longer. He raised his hammer above his head and took a step towards the heart of the elf ship. As soon as he took his first step, the silence was broken by a loud bag sound and high pitched cries. Thor turned and tried to find the source of the screams in the crowds of people, but then realizes his mistake; the screams did not come from the humans. They were screams of war that broke out from below Thor, on the ship. He lowered to his knees and crawled to the edge as much as he dared. Once he reached the edge and could see down the rest of the structure, a herd of elves revealed itself, clinging to the outside of the jagged elf craft. They cried one last battle cry and suddenly, the windows of the building nearest to them shattered, perfectly synchronized. All of the glass fell away and without hesitation the elves leaped into the building, weapons held high over their heads.

Thor had no time to lose if he didn't want anyone to be harmed. With a few spins of his hammer, he flew off of the ship and into the nearest gaping hole in the building where the window used to be. A small explosion of glass erupted as he landed. He could barely see through the powdery air that was filled with the dust of plaster. He was just able to make out a dark figure coming at him from the side. He swung his hammer as the elf was just barely a foot away, making contact with his gut. The elf let out a small yelp and crumpled to the floor just to be replaced with another one. Thor swung his hammer left and right fending off the elves, but that didn't prevent the large swarm of the creatures growing around him. Finally Thor raised his hammer high above him, summoning lightning. He then smashed Mjolnir into the marble floor below him. A wave of stone exploded from around him, moving away from him taking any elf in his way with it.

Thor's action kicked up more dust in the air so much that he could not see more than a foot in front of him. He spun in each direction, worried that there might be a surprise attack from behind him when he least expected it. When the dust in the air finally settled and the air cleared again, the only elves around him were the bodies of the dead or unconscious ones. Thor feared that they had escaped or had gone to terrorize another building. He tightened his grip around the handle of Mjolnir and jumped out of the one of the more broken windows. He looked up through the trees where the ship was; or used to be anyways. The craft that had brought the elves here was completely gone. Thor grunted in frustration and wound up Mjolnir to soar onto the nearest building to see if he could spot the spacecraft.

"It's gone." said a voice from behind him, between panting: Jane. He turned and dropped his hammer and slowly walked over to her, also breathing heavily from his battle with the dark elves. He put his arm around her shoulders. They both just stood there for a moment, catching their breath. "The remaining…" she trailed off like she was thinking. "Elves?" she asked Thor looking up at him.

Thor nodded. "They were definitely elves." He verified. Jane nodded and continued.

"The remaining elves hopped on the spacecraft and it took off straight up into the air. Once the lowest point of the ship was about 30 feet off of the ground, it just disappeared." She breathed quickly now. "Just out of thin air." She added with her eyes wide in disbelief. Thor kept his arm around her, but looked around at the damage.

"We should go and check if anyone was injured in the building that was attacked." He suggested. Jane nodded at his side and together they turned and headed back into the building's shattered window.

The floor was still covered with at least 15 elves that were taken out. Thor was careful to not step on any bodies as he carefully maneuvered around the rubble and elves. He was stepping over the body of an elf when something caught his eye from inside the elf's jacket. He retracted his foot that was about to step over the elf, and crouched down next to the body. There was a white piece of parchment paper sticking out from the elf's dark jacket. Thor cautiously folded back the creature's coat and plucked out the paper. He turned it over where black ink as dark as night covered the one side.

Thor's breath caught in his throat. It wasn't writing like he expected to be scribbled on the paper; it was a sketch of a person. It was a sketch of Jane. Under the detailed ink drawing of her, her name was sloppily scribbled. Around her name was more writing, but in the elven language which Thor did not understand. He heard the crunch of glass as Jane came up behind him. She let out a small gasp and leaned over Thor's shoulder to look at the picture of her.

"What does this mean?" she whispered to Thor. He bit his lip and shook his head. He had not wanted this to happen, not to her. How did they know?

"It means," he started. ", that they know who you are." He folded the paper to hide the sketch of her. "And you are no longer safe."
