Phones rang loud and clearly throughout the Damage Control/Shield Metropolis HQ. A massive constantly updating worldwide map showed the locations of various superhero happenings and if someone was covering them or not up on the wall above the windows out into a currently clear day. And throughout, men and women bustled as teams were sent out, other teams debriefed, and dispatchers sought to keep track of which were which.

At the moment, Coulson was taking a coffee break at his desk, enjoying a few moments of just his coffee, his croissant, and nothing else. It wasn't going to last, but he could savor it for now. Things getting quieter only seemed to be the calm before the bigger storms.

Then as if on cue, the phone rang on his desk. Finishing up the croissant, the answered it. "Yes?"

[i]"Mr. Coulson, Thor wants to speak with you."[/i]

His eyes widened, checking the recent news. Lionel Luthor's failed mayoral run should have kept Thor safe for the moment. Why would he need...? Ah, there was a very recent news report. And of course since it involved an alien, any information would have been flagged for SWORD instead of SHIELD. Someday they were going to need to revamp that system as it came to those times when the two jurisdictions tied together. Obviously though, that wasn't going to be today. "Get him on my line." Then he took a quick gulp of coffee. If Thor was actually calling, the situation was likely to be a doozy. As soon as he heard that they were connected, he called out. "Thor, this is Coulson. Are you alright?"
