Actually, calling it a special ability isn't quite accurate.
Because what possesses this ability isn't a person, but a specific location.
In this place, some very peculiar phenomena occur. For instance, a several-ton truck can be lifted and flipped through the air with just a gentle flick of a child's finger.
Another example is that if you throw something from mid-air, it will vanish and then reappear falling from the sky.
Of course, some items don't come back down.
No one knows where these things go.
According to SHIELD's regulations, any entity with such characteristics, whether it's an object or a location, is classified as an 084!
Typically, SHIELD handles such cases with standard procedures.
But given the uniqueness of this situation, Natasha decided to pass the information to Arthur, hoping to consult him on whether he had any insights.
Coincidentally, Arthur did have some knowledge about it.
"The Dark World... the Aether Particles."
Arthur rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on as he recalled the two sudden perceptions he had earlier.
And the words of the Ancient One. Clearly, if he wasn't mistaken, what he sensed was either the danger posed by the Aether Particles or the legendary alignment of the nine realms.
The convergence of the nine realms, combined with the threat of the Aether Particles, could escalate the situation to the highest level of danger in an instant.
With this in mind, Arthur quickly made a decision and informed Natasha: "Relay my message to Fury; I'll handle this personally. Don't underestimate the danger of this situation; it could be the most terrifying threat we've ever faced."
Natasha was somewhat taken aback: "More dangerous than the battle in New York?"
"It's incomparable."
Arthur replied: "In any case, a slight misstep could lead to annihilation."
"I understand." Natasha paused, then asked: "What exactly is this thing?"
"It's a mess from Asgard; it looks like I really have to go there again. By the way, do you remember Dr. Erik Selvig?"
Arthur inquired.
"Of course I remember, why?"
"I need his contact information."
"Alright... hold on..." Natasha said, and after a moment, she added: "Well, I think Dr. Selvig probably can't take your call right now; he's been taken into custody."
"What?"
"This morning, he was at Stonehenge in London. He stripped completely naked and, according to reporters, threatened tourists with scientific instruments."
Natasha was momentarily at a loss for words: "So, now he's been taken to Scotland Yard."
"..."
Arthur's expression darkened: "Then help me find Jane Foster's contact information, um, Thor's girlfriend."
"...If he hears you say that, he certainly won't be too happy." Natasha replied: "Give me a moment."
"Okay."
The wait wasn't very long, and Arthur soon received a contact.
Dialing the number on his phone, a woman quickly answered.
"Hello, who is this?"
The woman's voice felt familiar to Arthur.
"Long time no see. You might not remember me, but do you recall the Eastern guy who wandered around with the goofy son of a landlord?" Arthur said: "If you remember, then you should know who I am."
"...The one who told me there's a guy in Asgard who likes to spy on women bathing?"
"Glad you remember me." Arthur's mouth twitched: "Although it's strange what you recall. Alright, let's not dwell on that. If I'm not mistaken, you should be in London right now?"
"Don't tell me you've also developed some skills to spy on women bathing."
Jane's voice clearly carried confusion: "And I've been trying to find you for quite some time. Where is Thor?"
"...Huh?" Arthur was a bit dazed: "What do you mean?"
"Nothing much, obviously, where is Thor?" Jane pressed: "He's been missing for a long time!"
"...How long?"
"Almost a year!"
Jane's voice suddenly became agitated: "What exactly happened to him? What did he encounter? Why did he suddenly disappear without a trace? You once went to Asgard with him; he... he didn't find a woman in Asgard, did he?"
"..."
Arthur was speechless. 'What kind of chaos is this?'
He had no choice but to say: "To be precise, I haven't had any communication with Asgard for a full year, so I don't know what's going on with Thor. I called you today to ask about a special situation regarding something. But given your current situation, you probably don't know what's happening. Sorry to bother you..."
"Wait!"
Jane quickly interjected: "What exactly is going on?"
"Leave London as soon as possible." Arthur said: "Don't get involved in this matter any further."
After saying that, Arthur hung up the phone.
Scratching his head, he had initially estimated that, based on the situation in the movies, this woman obviously had an unusual connection with the Aether Particles.
But now it seemed she hadn't gotten involved with the Aether Particles yet.
For Arthur, this was a good thing. If he could sever this woman's connection with the Aether Particles early, Thor would surely be grateful to him.
With that thought, he was about to connect to Natasha's communication to have her help book a plane ticket to London for tomorrow.
Then the phone rang again. He answered casually, and Jane's voice came through: "You've completely piqued my curiosity..."
Just as she said that, Arthur hung up the phone and decisively tossed it into the Disassemble space.
Natasha's voice then came through: "I'm here."
"Prepare a flight for me later; I need to fly to London." Arthur said: "I have to go on a business trip."
"Understood." Natasha replied, then teased: "With your little girlfriend at home, do you really have the heart to go out?"
Before Arthur could figure out how to respond, the communication was cut off on the other end.
Shaking his head helplessly, Arthur stood up and stretched.
After all this trouble, at least he had figured out some specific timings!
First, Jane hadn't encountered any problems yet, which proved she hadn't come into contact with the Aether Particles, so the Aether Particles were still in that place, and there was plenty of time.
With that in mind, Arthur decided to go back and have a serious discussion with Lily about the issues concerning male lifeforms.
