Their ways of subtlety eluded him, if he had been the one to dishonourably enter the home of his enemies his attack would have damaged more than a simple machine. This was not his world. Even as Ant-Man and Captain America were taking their leave Thor was resisting the urge to take Mjolnir and fly into the skies of Midgard, regardless of damage to the structure they were in. Instead, the Asgardian remained through the period of 'lockdown', also a new invention that Luthor had explained to him. Thor saw little use in restricting the movements of one's forces but allowed that deviation would be easier to track in such a state of emergency. As he waited Thor felt a pricking at his mind, a sensation he had not felt in a long time. There was a [i]need[/i], a calling at his very being; the urge pulled at his senses the more he tried to deny it. Pulling Mjolnir from it place on his belt, Thor whirled the mighty hammer and set off into flight. He smashed through the wall of the Watchtower, [i]structures be damned,[/i] and flew with the speed of purpose towards the source of the call. [b]Kahndaq Airspace, Midgard[/b] Thor's arm was growing weary from the constant need to readjust his angle in these damned winds, Midgard was a realm of change and this was reflected even in the elements themselves. "[i]Thor? Thor![/i]" A voice in the Thunder God's ear chirped into life, Lex had requested that Thor wear one of the Lexcorp earplugs so that he would be reachable in the event of an emergency. Thor often forgot the small device but, after his vision, had made a point of inserting the small plug into his ear in case of trouble. "[i]Our instruments are showing you entering into Kahndaq airspace![/i]" [color=FFA500][b]"Cease thy prattle."[/b][/color] Thor recognised the voice as belonging to one of the Lexcorp employees that worked on rotation to ensure that he was monitored and given battle information in the heat of a fray if needed. This voice was from 'Dustin Holis', a little man even by mortal standards, Holis was prone to caution and indecisiveness to the point where he had become a liability to his charge on occasion. [i]"But that's Kahndaq!"[/i] Holis was more nervous than usual, [i]"Lexcorp's not permitted within their airspace!"[/i] Thor laughed, [color=FFA500][b]"Tis a good thing then that the son of Odin is not of Lexcorp!"[/b][/color] [i]"Thor you don't understand! You're in the Justice League, they'll think it's an attack! You need to get back to the US!"[/i] Thor shook his head; he could no more return to the Americas right now than he could talk to one of Ant-Man's namesakes. The urge that had led him here was much stronger and showed no sign of abating, although he felt himself a lot closer to the source than before. A solitary shape flickered into the Thunder God's peripheral vision, the telltale outline of one of the mortals' flying machines. Thor felt the plane approach and allowed himself to slow until the plane was alongside him. [i]"We're receiving a communication from Kahndaq,"[/i] Hollis' voice was in his ear once more, [i]"They're ordering you to leave right now. I strongly advise you to-" [/i] [color=FFA500][b]"Who are they to order a God?"[/b][/color] Thor's eyes flashed, and with his irritation a bout of thunder grew in the sky. He turned to the pilot in the vehicle beside him, the man gestured with his hand towards the floor. [i][/i] Thor shook his head in disgust and made his own gesture to the pilot. The man's eyes narrowed, clearly the meaning was the same in Midgard. Thor went into a burst of speed as the pilot throttled his plane back a short burst, Thor felt the fog of battle descend and instinctively knew what the other man would do. He swung himself into a spin even as the hail of bullets whizzed by him. [i]"I'm losing my job for this, oh God you're starting a war."[/i] [color=FFA500][b]"Call not to him Hollis,"[/b][/color] Thor remarked even as he turned so he was flying on his back, [color=FFA500][b]"There is only one deity on Midgard..."[/b][/color] Stretching out with his hand, Thor called upon the elements and sent a bolt of lightning hurtling down upon the helpless Kahndaq fighter jet, the electrical charge ran through the vehicle and sent it spinning out of control. The frantic pilot activated his emergency eject and launched himself out of the plane and began the descent to the deserts below. [color=FFA500][b]"...his name is Thor."[/b][/color] With that, Thor continued with his flight towards the source of his journey. A series of badly maintained buildings came into view and, even as Thor began to descend, a group of mortals emerged to stare up at him. They were slight of height and build and looked malnourished to Thor's eyes. They looked at him in confusion, suspicion and with such a lack of hope that Thor's heart grieved for them. The smallest of the group, a child clutching a scrap of paper, separated from the others to approach him. Her frame was as thin as the others, he hair was in a tousled mess and she looked for all the world like a small doll. Before he could stop her, she had her arms wrapped around his waist and was embracing him with a strength that surprised all who watched. "" She asked, her words translating themselves in his Asgardian senses much as those from the US did. [i]"You need to get her off you,"[/i] Hollis' voice came through Thor's ear again, [i]"We don't need that lawsuit!"[/i] Ignoring the Lexcorp employee Thor knelt down to the girl's height, she stepped back hesitantly. [color=FFA500][b]"What ails you little one?"[/b][/color] Thor asked gently, knowing his words would be understood. "" the child's words spilled from her mouth in a rush, "" Thor could feel the truth of her words, the desert was harsh and offered no respite to those who made their home upon its surface. He could see no larger settlement on the horizon and had only barely noticed one when in the air. It was too far for these people to make the journey, not with their lack of food and water. Odin had instructed the Gods of Asgard to leave the people of Midgard to their own devices, it seemed to Thor that the other pantheons had followed suit. Over time their devotion had changed to mockery, bitterness and finally to apathy. The emergence of superhumans had allowed the mortals to begin believing once more in possibilities beyond their control. They were starting to believe in miracles. Thor raised Mjolnir to the skies and reached out with his mind to bend the elements to his will. From the clear skies above he called the very clouds into being and ordered them to release the rain.

There will be enough for all."[/b][/color] All around there were cheers and whooping, the people rushed to fetch cups, buckets and any container they could find. The little girl did not move. Thor looked down at her kindly. [color=FFA500][b]"Drink little one, this would not be possible without you."[/b][/color] "" She asked in wonder, "" Thor smiled broadly, [color=FFA500][b]"Thy prayer brought me here,"[/b][/color] he reached down to take the scrap of paper from the girl's hand. He turned it over in his hand, the now-soggy paper was a cutting from a newspaper that had somehow found its way here. It read: '[b]Thunder God Thor a member of the Justice League[/b]' and held an out of focus photograph of Thor in flight. The God in question smiled broadly before handing the paper back to its owner. [color=FFA500][b]"I am very glad to have met you."[/b][/color] The girl took her talisman back gravely before beaming at him and, opening her mouth, she inclined her face to the heavens and basked in the rain. [color=FFA500][b]"Make your way to the city and live well.[/b][/color] Thor called to the people around him, [color=FFA500][b]"The mighty Thor is here to help!"[/b][/color] With that Thor whirled Mjolnir and shot off into the sky. He ensured that the rain would continue for a number of hours after he departed and then set off on the long flight back to America.
