Raizen extended his right hand, fingers tightening as he gripped the handle of Mjolnir.
The air grew still. With a single breath Raizen pulled.
Nothing.
His brow twitched an instant flicker of surprise. He wasn't arrogant but he hadn't expected nothing. He tried again pulling with chakra subtly flowing through his arm. Still the hammer refused to budge. It was like a slap in Raizen's face and he couldn't take it.
Then, his eyes narrowed and the ground beneath his feet cracked slightly. A wave of invisible pressure burst outward Conqueror's Haki.
Coulson stumbled back instinctively his body freezing. The few agents nearby dropped unconscious. The sky turned dark, thunder and wind accompanied.
Raizen didn't shout. He didn't roar. his skin shimmered and changed, scales covered his hand. His fingers now turned into dragon claws.
And then…
It moved.
A tremor ran through the ground, it cracked like spider web. The hammer rose inch by inch, until Raizen held it in the air. Thunder rained down from the sky onto Mjolnir than it electrocuted Raizen. But Raizen did not let go.
Heimdall who was far away in Asgard, looked at this with shock. He could not imagine anyone other than Odin and Thor could lift the hammer.
Then the system Notification.

Raizen's eyes flicked to the hammer. He could feel the resistance still clinging to it. The hammer had not accepted him but it had yielded.
He didn't want it. He wasn't here to steal power that belonged to another. But he could lift it.
That was enough.
He placed the hammer back down gently. The sky was back to normal under its return. Behind him Coulson had regained himself staring wide eyed. Nick and other agent who were watching the live feed were beyond word.
Coulson: "What the hell just happened?"
Raizen: "Nothing you need to worry about. Let me know if someone comes to lift it"
Raizen ignored him and checked his system interface

When Raizen saw the word "with side effects" he gave up the idea to eat it as he already was strong and this fruit will create weakness if he ever travel to the world of one piece. He can gift it to someone else in the future
Raizen (thinking): "I might just have got the best idea"

Two days had passed
Same as in original timeline Thor came to take the hammer but failed and was detained and loki came to meet him. Raizen knew about Loki's visit with his observation Haki but he did not intervene.
Coulson: "He hasn't said a word Just silence. You want to talk to him?"
Raizen: "Yes."
Coulson nodded and Raizen walked in.
Raizen: " Welcome to Midgard, Thor son of Odin"
Thor: "You know me?"
Raizen: "Yes, I know your here for the test."
Thor: "Finally met someone who has knowledge. Can you help me?"
Raizen: "I can help you."
Thor studied him, brow furrowed.
Thor: "And why will you help me?"
Raizen gave a small smirk.
Raizen: "Its good opportunity to make Future King of Asgard owe me a favor."
Just then, Jane Foster arrived outside the facility. Darcy and Selvig were with her arguing with the guards. Coulson signaled Raizen who exited the room.
Coulson: "She's requesting access."
Raizen: "Let her in. Let me handle this."
Later that afternoon Raizen, Thor, Jane and the others made their way into town. It was a quiet drive desert roads stretching far under a painted sky.
Inside the diner Thor devoured a plate of pancakes. Jane sat across occasionally glancing between the Thor and the strange man beside him Raizen.
Jane: "So… you're not from around here either?"
Raizen: "You could say that"
Darcy: "So… like... an alien or god, tourist?"
Raizen: "A traveler. That's all."
Thor looked up from his food.
Thor: "You wield strange power I can feel it. Yet you hide it. Why?"
Raizen: "Because some storms should not be summoned unless necessary."
Thor gave a small nod of respect.
