Chapter 107: The Hammer Falling from the Sky
"Dad, is that... a shooting star?"
"Yeah, that’s a shooting star, son."
A meteor streaked through the sky, descending at incredible speed—but strangely, it landed without a single tremor.
The morning in the small Mexican town was bright and lively. People gathered curiously around the mysterious object that had fallen—an oddly shaped hammer embedded in the earth. Everyone tried to lift it, but no one succeeded. Even the strongest men couldn’t budge it. One group even tied it to a pickup truck, but after the vehicle flipped over, the hammer still hadn’t moved an inch.
At first, the whole thing felt like a bizarre urban legend. But the exact moment the hammer fell had been captured on SHIELD’s surveillance satellites.
"Coles, take your team to Mexico immediately. A hammer just fell from the sky—we need boots on the ground, now."
In a cozy family-run motel in the town, Jane and Louis were deep in debate.
"Jane, are you sure it’s a good idea to bring back some random guy?"
"Louis, do you even hear yourself? We were the ones who hit him last night. Are we just supposed to leave him there to die?"
"But he ran out onto the road out of nowhere..." Louis looked completely exasperated. "Seriously, it wasn’t my fault!"
Meanwhile, the mysterious man they’d rescued was finally waking from a dream—though all he could remember was that it had been a nightmare.
