The sun was setting before they found the address listed on the bottom of the page. It was a tiny house at the edge of a cul de sac in a shady neighborhood. The house included two bedrooms, one bathroom, a small kitchen, and a living room area. It was very old and had a particularly odd smell. Every room was filled with dusty and worn furniture. All the lights in the house would only flicker eerily when you flipped the switch.
"This... is the living space father got for us?" Thor said, wrinkling his nose in disgust. Loki had no reply. Instead, he just stood in the doorway, jaw dropped and eyes widened. Thor warily wandered around the main room, looking at everything in absolute horror.
"Do you think this is Odin's way of saying he doesn't want to deal with us anymore?" Loki asked, carefully taking a step into the house. The floor was coated in a thick layer of dust as well as everything else around them. Thor glanced at Loki over his shoulder.
"I doubt it, he's probably just waiting for us to learn some kind of lesson before he lets us return," Thor replied. Loud sirens of a police car going by startled him and he jumped back a step, bumping into Loki. Loki screeched and fell into the wall behind him. As soon as his weight hit the wall, the entire thing caved in and he found half his body outside and half in.
"Wow, great going, Hammerhead," Loki growled, carefully climbing out of the hole in the wall. Thor glared at him intensely.
"Me? You're the one who put a hole through the wall, Fish face!" Thor pointed an accusing at Loki.
"You're seriously still on that? Tyr only hit me with a fish because I made him mad and it only happened once!" He said in a particularly defensive tone. Before Thor could react, a head popped out of the hole and looked around. Thor and Loki screamed at the top of their lungs. Thor stopped screaming as soon as he realized it was only a girl that looked around their age peeking through the hole. The girl had dark brown eyes and long neon blue hair. She wore a t-shirt, jeans, and a leather jacket over top. She had a deadpan expression on her face as she stared at the two idiots in front of her.
"Well geez, did I scare you, boys?" She chuckled and climbed through the giant hole in the wall. Loki and Thor said nothing as they watched her climb through and then another person come in. The second person was a tall guy with bright orange hair. He had the same dark brown eyes as the girl and overall they looked very similar. Their chins both came to a sharp tip highly resembling the tip of a triangle. The girl was tall but not as tall as the guy, maybe an inch shorter.
"Hia, neighbor!" The guy exclaimed while climbing through the hole. Loki and Thor still had no idea what was going on. The guy had a friendly face and soft features but the girl was very much the opposite. "I'm Landon," he said happily, holding his hand out for them to shake. Loki wrinkled his nose, pinched one of Landon's fingers, and slightly shook his hand.
"I'm Lo-" Loki was interrupted by Thor stepping on his foot really hard. Loki yelped and jumped back a step.
"I'm Thomas and this is my brother L... L... Larry, Yes, Larry," Thor said. Loki looked at Thor as if he had lost his mind. Landon nodded and smiled brightly. The girl next to him rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"I'm London and this is my moron of a brother." She glared at him. Landon stuck his tongue out at London like he was 5 years old.
"Well we are twins so if I am a moron, you are too." Landon chuckled in victory and pointed a finger at London. Thor pasted an uncomfortable smile on his face and slowly nodded. Loki stood with his arms crossed, glaring at Thor. Landon's attention focused on the huge Loki-sized hole in the wall. "Looks like you guys need a little help."
"Well... yeah, Fish face over here broke a hole in our wall." Thor said, pointing to Loki standing next to him. Loki glared at Thor with a burning hatred. Landon laughed so hard he almost fell on the ground.
"Ha, sweet nickname, Thomas. His face does look a little like a fish." London laughed and ran her fingers through her blue hair. Loki's hands twitched as if he was itching to strangle London. Thor noticed this and placed a firm hand on Loki's shoulder. Landon examined the hole and nodded slightly.
?his is going to be very expensive to fix. Where are your parents?" Thor went paper pale. His mouth continued to open and close as he tried to find words. Loki chuckled and looked over at Thor."I don't know Thomas, where are mom and dad?" Loki said, shrugging Thor's hand off his shoulder. Thor's mouth continued to open and close. "Ha, who looks like a fish now!" Landon and London burst into laughter. Thor immediately closed his mouth and punched Loki on the arm. Loki squealed and held his bruised arm.
"Well, our father is at work at the moment and mother... she passed away when we were little," Thor replied, a look of fake sadness on his face. Landon and London nodded sadly. Loki rolled his eyes.
"Well, I'm sure our parents would love to help fix this place up. My father is a renovator so he would love to extend the house and fix whatever needs to be fixed." Landon chuckled and gestured to the giant hole. London scoffed.
"Landon we don't even know these fish face boys. You have to quit offering strangers a bunch of money." London examined Loki and Thor from head to toe. Loki made a weird face at her. "What's wrong Larry? Do you miss being the only fish face in the room?"
"London quit being rude. It is only polite to greet our new neighbors. Plus, it was your idea to come over here!" London shoved her brother slightly to the side. Before London could respond to Landon, A huge burst of light filled the room. A loud hum echoed throughout the tiny house. A loud screech filled the air and when the light died down they found Landon as the source. In the middle of the group, a very tall blonde girl stood.
