Doctor, it's spiking again. No one's come or gone. And Selvig's clean. No contacts, no IMs. If there was any tampering, sir, it wasn't at this end. "At this end"? Yeah, the Cube is a doorway to the other end of space, right? Doors open from both sides.

Yeah, you say "peace," I kind of think you mean the other thing. Sir, Director Fury is stalling. This place is about to blow and drop a hundred feet of rock on us.

Not yet. Sir, please put down the spear.

Please don't. I still need that. This doesn't have to get any messier. Of course it does. I've come too far for anything else. I am Loki, of Asgard and I am burdened with glorious purpose. Loki, brother of Thor. We have no quarrel with your people. An ant has no quarrel with a boot. Are you planning to step on us? I come with glad tidings of a world made free. Free from what? Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart, you will know peace.

He means to bury us. Like the pharaohs of old. He's right. The portal is collapsing in on itself. We've got maybe two minutes before this goes critical. Well, then.

Who controls the would-be king? - I am a king! - Not here! You give up the Tesseract! You give up this poisonous dream! You come home. I don't have it. You need the Cube to bring me home. But I've sent it off, I know not where. You listen well, brother. I'm listening.

Is this the stuff you need? Yeah, iridium. It's found in meteorites. It forms anti-protons. It's very hard to get hold of. Especially if S.H.I.E.L.D. Knows you need it. Well, I didn't know. Hey! The Tesseract has shown me so much. It's more than knowledge. It's truth. I know. What did it show you, Agent Barton? My next target. Tell me what you need. I need a distraction. And an eyeball.

Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news. The Stark Tower? That big, ugly building in New York? It's powered by an arc reactor, a self-sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for, what, a year? It's just the prototype. I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now.

The guy's not wrong about Loki. He does have the jump on us. What he's got is an Acme dynamite kit. It's going to blow up in his face. And I'm going to be there when it does.

What's the matter? Are you scared of a little lightning? I'm not overly fond of what follows.
