"Why? How could this happen? How did Odin suddenly wake up?!"
By all rights, this absolutely counted as Odin's first public divine manifestation in modern times. Through zero-distance physical contact with Garrett, he let the other man fully experience the passionate collision of flesh and spirit, displaying his immense power in the midst of hoarse, heart-rending cries. This was definitely an event destined to enter modern Earth history!
But if this ended up in the history books, it would probably only read—God King Odin Punches Clairvoyant.
There was nothing to be done about it. After finishing the deed, Odin had ridden off without another word, leaving Coulson and Nick Fury staring at each other. If he did not say anything, neither of them dared ask. Perhaps a novelist would write a stirring tale based on this event a century or so later, but the real reason behind it was anyone's guess.
In truth, those two were not the only confused ones. Evenson was even more bewildered!
The moment Odin arrived, the Eredar Twins notified Evenson. The instant he heard, he panicked. He did not even bother mooching dinner at Tony's house anymore, tossing out a sentence before turning to leave. "I've got something urgent to handle at home. Save me some lobster for dinner—I might come back."
Tony was generous as well and agreed immediately. Go on, don't worry. I'll arrange the lobster shells on the table for you.
Evenson went straight to the company. The Eredar Twins had not returned yet, and Evenson was, after all, one of the company's big bosses, so the people below were extremely nervous about his arrival. Moira immediately gathered a group to welcome him. McNair, Sigrun, Ash, Gabriel, please come lend a hand. Bangalore? Don't come. Sigh, good thing Luther hasn't returned yet.
