Rob Johnson
Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) can't resist the opportunity to visit Asgard when the Valkyrie Runa asks her to help in an investigation, even though it's way out of her PI comfort zone. Besides she's owes Runa for saving her and America Chavez from some ghost-earthworms. Asgardians look at her askance as her guide leads her to the 1st of many crime scenes where objects made of Uru metal have been stolen. As she examines the room Kate finds traces of glowing slime. Then they visit Thor's bedroom from where he disappeared a few days ago along with his hammer Mjolnir and an axe, and Hawkeye finds more ooze.
Kate tries to phone a friend but Asgard doesn't get mobile reception. However Runa takes her to their communications centre where she contacts the tree-being Groot. But 1st she has to apologise to him for taking 1 of his branches to use as an arrow. He seems to accept her apology and she describes the goo to him. His 'groots' convey that he knows of a space parasite that eats Uru, and it likes cold, damp, dark places.
Runa now takes Kate to a nearby cave system where she swears to disembowel the creature if necessary to retrieve the sacred Asgardian objects. They come across a few of them lying around. Then there's a loud roar and they're confronted by Thor and his 2 weapons, but covered in glowing slime.
