Captain America puts the shard away while Hulk eats ice cream.
Thor finds the shard, but, it flies away, Hulk follows it and it lands in the hand of Storm, she turns out to be Loki in disguise, he then turns into Juggernaut and they battle, then Loki runs away to Asgard and Thor finds him, fighting off the Frost Giants protecting him, then saving Asgard from a Doom-bot invasion. Then he battles Loki once more who turns into Storm and a green version of Thor. Then Odin arrives and throws the sqabbling siblings outside. Thor freezes Loki with his hammer's new power and takes the shard to the vault.
