[indent][indent]Campus of Royal Holloway, University of London, United Kingdom 
March 22nd, 2005
Roughly 8:30 a.m.[/indent][/indent]

The campus was lightly littered with yawning students, despite being in the heart of London, the campus was still relatively quiet, no doubt there'd be a sudden surge of students at around quarter to 9, rushing to get to morning lectures in the nick of time. The few students who did wander about like hungover lost souls stared and whispered at the strangely dressed, tall woman walking confusedly around the campus. 

[b]"Hey Barbie! You're a bit early for Halloween!"[/b] one smart-alec yelled, laughing and chugging on his Starbucks. Thor completely ignored it, she didn't even register that the comment was aimed towards her, she had no idea who Barbie was and what a "Halloween" was. Even if she'd noticed that he was talking to her, she was likely to have ignored it just as much because she had a mission, and Barbies and Halloweens were irrelevant to her cause right now. 

A groundskeeper, rake in hand, eyed her up and down and she came to a stop in front of him. [b]"I seek a man by the name of Eric Selvig, can you bring me to him?"[/b] she asked.
The groundskeeper gave her a wary look and shrugged.
[b]"Selvig always did keep strange company, I'll bring you up to his office."[/b] he replied, leaving the rake against a wall and taking her inside one of the impressively large buildings. If Thor's mind wasn't otherwise occupied with countless questions she'd have regarded the university building with awe and curiosity. 

[b]"Just that door up there on the left."[/b] the groundskeeper said, pointing at a thick oak door.
[b]"You have my thanks good sir."[/b] she replied, parting ways with the groundskeeper and knocking on Selvig's door. 
[b]"It's open."[/b] came his reply. 
[b]"Eric Selvig, I would have words with thee."[/b] she closed the door behind her. 
[b]"And who might you be?"[/b] Selvig replied cautiously, though he saw the hammer strapped to her hip and recognised it instantly. He was filled with a number of questions himself. Whoever this woman was, she had Thor's hammer, something which not just anyone could pick up on a whim.
[b]"I am Thor, and you are an ally of Odinson are you not?"[/b]
Selvig gave a hearty laugh and gestured for Thor to take a seat opposite his desk. 
[b]"You aren't Thor madam, he's an old friend of mine and he certainly didn't look like that"[/b] he pointed at her, [b]"Last I saw him"[/b]
[b]"Verily, I am Thor, she who commands lightning, weilder of Mjolnir, the Goddess of Thunder."[/b]
Selvig quelled his laughing and decided to roll with this for now, till he could get to the bottom of it at least. 
[b]"Alright, alright, [i]Thor[/i] ... Lets say I believe you ... Why do you have Mjolnir? Where is ... [i]Odinson[/i]?"[/b] 
She steepled her fingers together. [b]"I was hopeful that you woulds't be able tell me where Odinson is."[/b]

This disappointed her. Selvig was an ally of Odinson's, and Mjolnir had been abandoned on earth, so surely he was here somewhere and he would have reunited with his allies if that were the case, yet Selvig had no answers for her. 
[b]"I'm sorry ... I haven't seen him or heard from him since the Convergence, I cannot tell you where he is. You are clearly of Asgard yourself ... why are [i]you[/i] here?"[/b]

[b]"Asgard has fallen. I believed Odinson would come with haste to this realm ... his love for Midgard is unlike anyone else of Asgard's. With Asgard lost, I seek to defend Midgard in his stead, just as he did."[/b]
Selvig nodded slowly, sadly. Part of him was reeling, numb, how could Asgard be lost? Destroyed? Had Odinson ... the Thor that Selvig had known, been lost in the battle? Was that even possible. 
[b]"You seek Odinson, so that you can protect Midgard together?"[/b] Selvig confirmed.
She nodded. [b]"I believe if anyone could survive Ragnarok, Odinson would, and it is in this realm he woulds't seek sanctuary. I can only hope that the Son of Laufey hath not."[/b]
[b]"But Loki died during the Convergence ... it's impossible."[/b]
[b]"He was very much alive during the war."[/b] she said icily. 
[b]"Are you sure he died on Asgard? It wouldn't be the first time he's escaped his fate."[/b]
[b]"From what mine eyes bore witness on Asgard ... not a soul couldst escape the helfires intact ... Odinson though ..."[/b] she trailed off.
[b]"You think he'd survive?"[/b]
[b]"Verily. He is truly remarkable, not even Ragnarok could best his might."[/b] she looked out the window, the campus below was growing busier. Suddenly a large black military helicarrier landed on the campus and heavily armoured mercs hopped out, weapons primed, students ran screaming. Selvig got up and looked out the window.
[b]"Looks like you have a welcoming party."[/b]
[b]"Art these your allies Selvig?"[/b] she asked, turning to walk towards the door.
[b]"I don't know them ... be careful ... [i]Thor[/i]"[/b] he said, suspicious of this mysterious woman. Whomever she was, she wasn't Thor Odinson, he was certain. She wasn't an enemy yet, but his guard was up. 

Thor stepped out onto the campus, Selvig ran to catch up with her but stayed in the door way out of the way as the armoured men inched forward. She held Mjolnir in her hand, primed and ready to swing. 
[b]"Lay down thine weapons and I'll let thou live another day."[/b] she said.
The mercs stayed still, one raised his fingers to his helmet, awaiting orders. Slowly they lowered their weapons. 
[b]"We want to talk. Would you come talk with us?" [/b]he finally asked.
[b]"Who commands thee? I would have words with him."[/b] came her reply. 
[b]"We'll take you to him."[/b]
[b]"So be it. I will accompany thou."[/b] she turned to Selvig and gave him a parting gesture, [b]"Farewell, Eric Selvig."[/b]

She disappeared into the helicarrier which took off from the campus and disappeared across the horizon.
