New Mexico – Night
The desert wind was cold, brushing against the S.H.I.E.L.D. perimeter tents as Agent Phil Coulson checked reports when a tall silhouette approached the outer checkpoint.
The guards stiffened, but Phil raised a hand.
The man's long blond hair, stature, and presence were unmistakable.
"Let him in," Phil said, already guessing who it might be.
The stranger walked straight toward the containment tent, eyes fixed on the hammer embedded in the crater. As he stepped inside, Phil watched him from the shadows.
The man placed both hands on Mjolnir, strained, and… nothing.
Thor's POV – Speaking to Himself
Thor muttered under his breath, exhausted, confused, and grieving the lie Loki was feeding him via illusion.
In the throne room of Asgard, Loki lounged lazily on the throne, projecting the illusion toward Earth.
When Phil stepped forward, the illusion flickered slightly—Loki smirked.
Coulson Interrupts
Phil: "You alright? Need something?"
Thor exhaled heavily.
Thor: "What do you require of me?"
Phil cleared his throat.
Phil: "Actually… a friend told me I'd find a 'blond hair muscle-head' here tonight. He told me to say hello."
The illusion shattered for a second. Loki nearly fell off the throne, choking with laughter.
Thor blinked in shock.
Thor: "This friend—does he have a name?"
Phil: "Roy. Silver hair, blue eyes, very handsome—his words, not mine."
Thor's face turned bright red.
Thor Explodes
Thor pointed angrily at the sky, shouting:
"ROY, YOU IDIOT!"
Loki was now full-on laughing, slamming his fist on the arm of the throne.
Phil just… stared.
Thor took a steadying breath.
Thor: "Roy is my younger brother. I am Thor Odinson."
Phil's eyebrows shot upward—just slightly—his version of shock.
Thor stepped past him, exiting into the night.
After Thor Leaves
Coulson immediately called Fury.
Phil: "Sir… we have an identification. Thor Odinson—Asgardian. And Roy Odinson is his younger brother."
There was silence on the line.
Fury: "…Find me everything on Thor Odinson. NOW."
Within hours, agents sifted through myth, satellite captures, and cosmic radiation data.
They found:
Thor Odinson is Asgardian royalty. Mjolnir is indeed the legendary hammer. Roy Odinson exists… but is completely unrecorded. No SHIELD database contains a single detail about him.
Fury's face tightened.
He remembered Roy's words from two months ago:
"You'll know who I am when it's time. Don't try to search before then."
Now the truth was in front of him.
Fury's Decision
He closed the file.
He did not upload anything to the SHIELD database.
He shared the information only with Maria Hill.
Fury: "We keep Roy Odinson off every record. No paper trail. No digital trace.
If he doesn't want to be found… we're not going to tempt fate."
Hill nodded silently—she remembered the warning too.
