At least he was satisfied that Stark Tower was decently secure from most threats, and now that he was there it was more so. He just hoped he wasn't too late. Loki had already dared to cripple their father, nearly preventing Thor from returning to Earth and irreconcilably breaking the family bond they had once shared and which he had been willing to try to mend. Who knew how far the Jotun madman would go to hurt Thor if not even the man who raised them and loved them was open to attack?<br/><br/>He followed Leena down the hall as she spouted the kind of things that he hadn't heard a woman say since the last time he saw Darcy. It was so different from Jane, soft-spoken and thoughtful except when she got near him and lost herself in his eyes and shed her normally professional demeanor. How he longed to see it happen all over again, and to finally have a chance to devote the time to her he hadn't been able to. Thor shook his head to clear it, he was feeling fuzzy as he stared at Leena's back following her. It was too distracting, though he didn't understand why. Banner was at least able to exert more control over himself because of his intellect. A barbarian like Thor had to struggle enormously against her allure.<br/><strong><br/>"Mind yourself, Miss Moran, I chose Jane for a reason. You could never understand..."</strong>he cautioned her. He felt ashamed of the thoughts he was having and hadn't meant to lash out at her, but that helped to push him away from his lustful urges and focus on getting in contact with Jane. Somehow he felt a gnaw of dread in his gut and the urgency intensified. His grip on Mjolnir tightened and he bit his lip to keep from just running off to find someone else to help him, but time was not on his side and he continued to allow Leena to do her job.<br/><br/>He waited as patiently as he could muster while she connected the call to Jane's camper phone. He heard it ring once, twice, thrice, then a fourth time when the tone ended abruptly and it sounded like it was about to respond. Thor did as Leena had instructed and waited until he heard Jane's voice, though it was not quite what he had expected. As Jane was unbeknown to him duly occupied with his doppelganger, the answering machine picked up instead of Jane herself.<em><strong>"Hi, you've reached Jane Foster..."</strong></em>the machine began, and Thor's overexcited response to the recording prevented him from discovering that it wasn't actually her.<br/><br/><strong>"JANE! JANE! Can you hear me?!"</strong>he shouted, despite Jane's voice being perfectly normal in volume.<strong>"It is I, Thor! Jane, listen to me!"</strong>he paused when he heard Jane's voice continue to speak over him, as if she couldn't hear him, until he realized what the rest of the recording had to say.<br/><br/><em><strong>"...I'm out on a research assignment and can't come to the phone right now, so please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can."</strong></em><br/><br/>Thor's face contorted. He looked over at Leena expectantly. Fortunately a voice not belonging to Jane then prompted him.<em>"Please begin recording after the tone."</em>An irritating beep then sounded and Thor didn't waste a nanosecond.<br/><br/>Shouting even louder than before,<strong>"Jane, you must answer me quickly, this is Thor! Please, I must find you immediately, it is important! I came back to Earth to defend it but if I can't save you, then it will be meaningless! I have to know where you are so I can come get you before something terrible happens! If my brother finds you before I do it will be too late! Please, answer me, Jane!"</strong><br/><br/>The machine beeped again before he could get in another sentence.<em>"Message length exceeded. If you wish to leave another message please hang up and dial again."</em><br/><br/>Thor lost it at that point and crushed the speaker under his fist. Breathing hard, he turned to Leena again.<strong>"Can you find out where she is? You must be able to use these machines to figure it out! I have to know where I can find her!"</strong>he demanded.
