Thor’s Departure, the Mind Scepter

Nick Fury was willing to believe Thor's word. Thor had always been a man who kept his promises. As Asgard's prince and heir apparent, Thor's words carried weight and were enough to represent Asgard. Nick Fury felt slightly relieved and hoped Thor would ascend the throne soon and officially become Asgard's king. After all, he knew Thor well, but he was not familiar with Odin, the King of the Gods.
