"Why are we actually listening to Mike though?" Axl mumbled, staring angrily into the wall in the corner he was now sitting in front of.

"Because we fucked up, now shut up, we're not supposed to talk." Ty answered, from his chair on the other side of the room.

It was as if they were kids again. Ty, Axl, and Anders had all suddenly paid a visit to Mike and Valerie, and they had decided to have a 'friendly tussle' in the living room that had absolutely nothing to do with arguing about anything at all. Either way, it had resulted in a vase being smashed after Ty had punched Anders. Anders had flown quite a bit farther than expected and had knocked over a vase that had been sitting there. That's when Mike came in out of nowhere, and he was angry. The three brothers felt like they were little kids again while Mike was yelling at them, and then he had the nerve to even send them into time out exactly as he used to when they were little. Hell, they even had the same spots where they'd always end up in.

Axl was sitting in a corner facing a wall, Ty was sitting in a chair across the room also facing the wall, and Anders was in another chair facing a different corner. They had all complained loudly to Mike that he was treating them like children, but in the end Ty and Anders relented quietly to their chairs. Axl was still mad. He had just become Odin, and even if he wasn't exactly Odin yet without his full powers, he should be able to decide whether or not he'd be sent to some corner like when he was little. He was even more angry at his two older brothers who had resigned to their fate so easily.

"No really, we're all grown adults and our older brother was still able to send us to corners like we're fucking five years old!" Axl slammed his head against the wall.

"Well, you know what Mike said," Anders said without turning around from his own corner. "If we're going to fight like five year olds, we're going to be punished like five year olds. So here we are, stuck in corners. Besides Ty. He's just facing a wall. I always knew he was Mike's favorite." Axl could practically hear the eye roll in his older brother's voice. "Just be glad he didn't decide to hit us with his belt. He did that to me when I was sixteen and came home after curfew and dared argue with him like a 6 year old."

"Is that what that was?" Ty asked, also not turning around. "I just assumed you were into some weird shit back then."

"Haha, very funny." Anders muttered.

Axl ignored them and groaned loudly. "How long are we going to be here? It's been like an hour! And why didn't I get a chair anyways? I'm the only one sitting on the floor!"

"You're the youngest. And it's only been five minutes, you can stand ten more can't you?" Anders leaned back on his chair.

"No. No I can't." Axl leaned his head against the wall and muttered. "This is bullshit. You can't ground Odin..."

"You can ground Odin if you're his older brother, apparently." Ty and Anders laughed at him.

Fuck those guys.
