        Evelyn, Thor, and Jane brushed off the dirt from their clothes as they approached a cave, prompted by the looming storm brewing on the horizon.

"He's going to unleash it, not just on Asgard or a star. Malekith is going to destroy everything," Jane told them.

"How?" Evelyn asked.

"I saw him on Earth. Why would he go to Earth?" She asked.

"The Convergence," Thor told her.

"Oh, God. None of this would have happened if I hadn't found the Aether," Jane mumbled.

"Then Malekith would have possessed it sooner," Thor said.

"I only found it because I was looking for you," Jane told Thor. "Now we're trapped here."

The cave was suddenly filled with music. As the sound reverberated off the walls, Jane, Thor, and Evelyn exchanged puzzled glances, uncertain of its origin.

"It's not me," Thor said.

Evelyn took her phone from her pocket and saw 50 missed calls from BOSS. "Not me," Evelyn said and put her phone away.

Jane took her phone out of her pocket and answered it. "Hello?" She asked. There was mumbling. "Richard?! Where are you?" Jane put him on speaker and held up her phone. "Oh, my God! This is amazing."

"Is it? I quite enjoyed our lunch despite never actually ordering anything," Richard said.

"How am I getting service here?" Jane asked.

"Is this a bad time? Do you want me to try you later?" Richard asked. Thor and Evelyn shared a look.

"No, no, no, no! Please, whatever you do, do not hang up the phone," Jane said as she walked around with her phone in the air.

"Okay then. I was just wondering if you want to try again? Uh...maybe dinner next time."

"Uh...yeah, yeah, yeah. Um...just stay on the phone, okay?" Jane said.

"Yeah, I will," he said, and then Jane put him off speaker. She looked down and noticed empty Coke cans and keys.

"Oh, my God." Jane picked up the keys from the floor of the cave. "No, no, no, nothing at all." Jane turned to Thor and Evelyn. "Come on."

"Where are we going?" Thor asked.

Evelyn glanced around and was taken aback by the sight of random shoes. "What's with all the shoes in here?" she inquired. As they ventured deeper into the cave, a strange transition occurred, and they found themselves standing amid an abandoned warehouse. "Wait, how did we end up here?" Evelyn muttered in confusion as she trailed after Jane and Thor outside and toward a neglected vehicle.
