[b]New Troy - Metropolis - United States - Midgard[/b]

[color=steelblue][b]"Though I appreciate the gesture, Corben is leaving with me. He won't come to any harm, that much I can promise you, but he [i]does[/i] have things he needs to answer to. Like why he thought blasting half of Downtown Metropolis to pieces was a good idea and what he thought he was going to achieve by doing it. Or who put him up to it."[/b][/color]

Thor's eyebrow raised in amusement as Superman postured, the ego the alien possessed was evident; he had clearly assumed that Thor was addressing him rather than the lovely and much deadlier Wonder Woman. Thor was too chivalrous to do such a thing, he absently wondered where this blue-clad vigilante had learned his manners; on Asgard such uncouth displays were only common from farmers. 

As Superman drew closer to Corben Thor shifted his stance just enough to potentially intercept the other man should he attempt to harm the  prisoner. It turned out Thor needn't have bothered. The idiot was attempting to shift Mjolnir. 

Thor's expression shifted to a grin as he thought back to a bout with a mighty Troll in one of the many tournaments he had competed in. During their bout Thor's opponent had knocked him down and, rather than press the attack, the Troll had latched onto Mjolnir and attempted to claim possession in some bid for a trophy. The face of the Troll as it strained and deployed its strength to lift the magic hammer was a sight that Thor had never forgotten.

As he looked at Superman Thor could have sworn the alien's features were set in exactly the same expression as that of the Troll. 

Then Mjolnir moved.

The briefest and smallest of shifts, any other man would have missed it; but to Thor time seemed to slow to a crawl and every single instant was etched onto his mind. The grunt of Superman's exertion, the miniscule scrape of uru on metal as Corben's body was roughly marked by Mjolnir's blunt stone. The worst thing though, was how the alien's eyes shifted to stare at Thor's and the slightest hint of a surprised grin on his over-formed features. 

As suddenly as it began, the movement stopped and Superman's muscles resumed their fruitless labours. Thor forced a smile back onto his face before the alien's eyes looked past him to Wonder Woman. There was the briefest pause before Superman sheepishly released Mjolnir and flashed a too-perfect smile at its owner.

Despite his smile Thor's good humour was a thing of the past. That an [i]alien[/i] to both Asgard and Earth could have any effect on Mjolnir rankled at him. 

[color=FFA500][b]"Thy words are pretty but thy actions reveal thee to be unworthy, no better than the lowest farmer of Asgard."[/b][/color] As Thor spoke, the rain fell down heavier and the rumble of thunder began to sound in the near distance. [color=FFA500][b]"Indeed, thy quarry has much to answer for but he will answer to the Justice League."[/b][/color]

Thor placed a boot atop Corben's back, keeping him hopelessly pinned as he retrieved Mjolnir and hefted it in a burly grip. He made sure to emphasise the ease with which he lifted his hammer. 

[color=FFA500][b]"Thou hast no authority here, alien."[/b][/color]
