Chapter 06 - Unworthy
Confirming that the group will really take Thor to the hospital Joshua said his goodbyes.
His mission right now is finding Thor's hammer so that he can make Thor complete again and once Thor is complete he assumes that the system will grant him the power of Zeus.
Joshua left the hospital with the eyes of the trio still on him.
*Swoosh*
Joshua flew.
"Guys, I think I'm going crazy but did he just fly?" Darcy said with a dumbfounded expression.
"This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder," Erik said.
Jane massages her temples and regrets that she let Joshua go without interviewing him.
–
It took Joshua an hour from finding the weird crater on the ground with a hammer in the middle of it.
"I guess this is his hammer," Joshua murmured and slowly descended to get the hammer.
Since it was still night time there was no other human in the scene to bother Joshua.
Joshua made his grip to the hammer using one hand and tried lifting it.
'What the? It's heavy,' Joshua thought.
It's the heaviest thing he tried lifting since he got his power.
Joshua then uses two hands, makes a firm grip, and then flies but the hammer proves to be heavier than he can handle.
'This quest for the power of Zeus might be harder than I thought,' Joshua thought as he formulated a way to lift the hammer.
But to no avail, no matter how many times he tried with different strategies and position the hammer proved to be unliftable.
Then Joshua thought that this has to have something to do with magic so only a certain person can lift it like in the legend of king Arthur sword.
'At least I know the location of the hammer now,' Joshua thought as he flew to go back to the hospital.
After a few minutes of flying, Joshua landed in front of the hospital. The people of course are in shock of what they are seeing but Joshua just ignored them.
He goes straight to the reception and asks about Thor and says he was one of the people who brought him.
One of the hospital doctors overheard him in the lobby and approached Joshua and explained to him that they have to sedate the man and he will probably wake up early in the morning.
Joshua nodded and decided to wait patiently as he didn't have anything to do anyway.
Joshua fell asleep and time passess quickly and when he woke up the hospital was already in shambles about a missing patient.
'How troublesome,' Joshua already knew who that little shit was.
Leaving the hospital Joshua looked around and tried to find Thor and asked some people if they saw a blonde muscular man.
After hours of searching Joshua discovered that investigation is not really his strong point but still continues searching as he really needs the power of zeus.

Mjolnir crash site. Night.
SHIELD already bordered the area where Mjolnir fell into and like always they immediately began to scan and study the foreign object.
But no matter what they do they too can't lift Mjolnir, that's why they are forced to set up a perimeter and secure the entire area.
Outside of SHIELD's perimeter two people lying chest first on the ground and observing the perimeter.
These are Jane and Thor.
"You think you're just gonna walk in, grab our stuff and walk out?" Jane sarcastically said.
"No, I'm gonna fly out," Thor said as he proceeded to sneak into the area.
Jane is speechless and tired, She was just hoping that Thor is what he is.
Thor quickly knocks out one of the agents and continues sneaking.
But the agent's body quickly got found by another agent and raised an alarm.
"Agent down, we got a perimeter breach,"
Sirens and alarms all over the area are activated as the storm continues to get stronger.
All of the agents professionally and organized search for Thor.
Thor on the other hand has no choice but to rush Mjolnir and beat everyone who blocked his way from his hammer.
With thousand years of life experience, Thor could easily beat up the highly trained SHIELD agents even without his powers.
Finally, after knocking more than five agents, pull through in fighting a bigger guy and surviving the maze-like area Thor reaches his hammer.
Thor is all covered in mud but he is smiling because his hammer is in his hand's reach.
What Thor doesn't know is that Clint Barton also known as Hawkeye is already in the higher ground and ready to shoot him with arrows in Coulson's signal.
Agent Phil Coulson, the right hand of Nick Fury and in charge of this operation right now.
"Last chance sir," Hawkeye said on the intercom.
"Wait a minute, I want to see this," Coulson said as he watched to see if Thor could really lift the hammer.
Thor grabbed the hammer but failed multiple times in lifting it. In anger and frustration Thor shouted and screamed in the skies.
Thor kneeled on the ground in despair.
Coulson was disappointed, "Alright show's over. All ground units move in."
"He couldn't lift it huh,"
Hawkeye widened his eyes and quickly turned his bow towards the voice.
There he saw a white haired man just behind him flying mid-air with his arms crossed..
"And here I am hoping that he could, I search for that man for far too long, tsk," Joshua said as he watched Thor be arrested.
"Code name, White Ordeal, What are you doing here?" Hawkeye squinted his eyes.
"What's with the nickname? I heard that man's name is Thor like in the mythology and I got curious. So what's up, what did you guys discover about the hammer?" Joshua casually questioned.
"That's classified," Hawkeye put down his bow, "according to the tin guy you are scary to fight hence the SHIELD gave you a code name."
"Got it, the mighty SHIELD which I have no idea what that name means also didn't know what that hammer is," Joshua deduces
"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division," Hawkeye explained.
Joshua nodded then descended to the ground like he owned the place. He is planning on going to where Thor is detained.
"Stand down, don't hastily attack him," Coulson said on the intercom as he watched where Joshua was going. Based on his data Joshua already killed 3 police officers so what's stopping the man in killing his agents if they attack him first.
Joshua then arrived where Thor is. He opened the door and entered the room.
'That door is locked though,' One of the agents thought..
"How are you, big guy? What happened there?" Joshua questioned.
Even without super senses Joshua can hear the murmuring of all agents around.
"I'm not worthy," That's all Thor has said which made Joshua quite confused.
Joshua frowned his brows and said, "Worthy of what? Is your hammer enchanted that you need to be worthy to wield it?"
Unlike most people Joshua is quite open to the possibility of magic. His whole being is made by magic after all.
Thor remained quiet and refused to answer.
[The system failed to block all seeing eyes. Please upgrade the power of Zeus to Lvl1.]
[Astral Magic has been Sense by the system. Please upgrade the power of Zeus to Lvl1 to learn other kinds of magic.]
'What? What is happening?' Joshua looks around but sees nothing out of the ordinary but one thing he knows is someone or something is spying on his current location.
Joshua deduces that if someone that has magic is really overseeing their location then the man in front of him must be who he really was.
"I see..now I know what I have to do, You just need to be worthy," Joshua looked at Thor's eye with a serious expression then left the room quickly.
Phil Coulson is already waiting for Joshua right outside the room.
Joshua just gave Coulson a nod and continued walking away.
The poor agent didn't have the chance to introduce his name or even open his mouth.
