Confrontation Over Responsibility and Protection
Thor
Why did you bring us back?
Odin
Do you realize what you've done? What you've started?
Thor
I was protecting my home.
Odin
You cannot even protect your friends! How can you hope to protect a kingdom? Get him to a healing room! Now!
[Throws Heimdall the sword. Heimdall catches it. He turns to Fandral, who was injured in the fight]

Odin
That's pride and vanity talking, not leadership. You've forgotten everything I taught you about a warrior's patience.

You're unworthy! Of the loved ones you have betrayed. I now take from you your power! In the name of my father and his father before, I, Odin Allfather, CAST YOU OUT!!! Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.

Exploring Scientific Theories and Interdimensional Mysteries
Nick Fury
Dr. Selvig.
[Greeting him]
Selvig
So, you're the man behind all this? It's quite a labyrinth. I was thinking that you had taken me down here to kill me.
Fury
I've been hearing about the New Mexico situation. Your work has impressed a lot of people who are much smarter than I am.
Selvig
I had a lot to work with: the Foster theory, a gateway to another dimension – it's unprecedented – isn't it?
Fury
Legend tells us one thing; history, another. But, every now and then, we find something that belongs to both.
[Opens a suitcase, which contains a small [[w:Cosmic Cube|cube]

[Appears, invisible, in a mirror and whispers to Selvig]
Selvig
Well, I guess that's worth a look.

The Legacy of Asgard's Warriors
Odin
Once, mankind accepted a simple truth: that they were not alone in this universe. Some worlds man believed home to their Gods. Others they knew to fear. From a realm of cold and darkness came the Frost Giants, threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity would not face this threat alone. Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world. The cost was great. In the end, their king fell, and the source of their power was taken from them. With the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home at the Realm Eternal, Asgard. And here we remain as the beacon of hope, shining out across the stars. And though we have fallen into man's myths and legends, it was Asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the universe.

What's wrong?
Jane
S.H.I.E.L.D. Whatever they are, they're gonna do everything in their power to make sure this research never sees the light of day.
Thor
No, Jane. Listen to me. You must not give up. You must finish what you've started.
Jane
Why?
Thor
Because you're right. Here, look. Your ancestors called it magic and you call it science. Well, I come from a place where they're one and the same thing.
[Opens her notebook; Thor is connecting the circles in her notebook]
Jane
What is that?
Thor
My father explained it to me like this, that your world is one of the Nine Realms of the Cosmos, linked to each other by the branches of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. Now you see it everyday without realizing. The images glimpsed through... what did you call it? This Hooble Telescope.
Jane
Hubble.
Thor
Hubble Telescope.
Jane
Tell me more.
Thor
So, the Nine Realms. Now, there is Midgard, which is Earth. This is Alfheim. Vanaheim. Jötunheim. And Asgard. And that's where I come from.
