Walking down second avenue to get back to Stan's apartment, Magni and Stan had on lookers staring at them as the pass by. "Man people are looking at you strange, that one driver almost had an accident staring at us." Stan said. "Staring as you say, I must get use too, in New Asgard mortals would show the royal family reverence, and worship. I find this staring a bit disrespectful. My uncle Loki would," "Back to your uncle Loki again." Stan says interrupting Magni. "Please remember there is no New Asgard here, and your cloths make you stand out." Magni asks "What is wrong with my attire?"
As the duo continue walking in their discussion, a few feet behind them one of Derrick's thugs is following them.
"We are going to stop up at this place, and get you some different cloths."
"Nay, friend Stan, I already told you I wear the royal garment of", stopping in mid sentence, Magni turns around and the sees the thug that has been following them. The thug stops when he sees that Magni looking directly at him. He goes to reach inside of this jacket, but Magni sees him and grabs a newspaper stand then throws it at the thug. It lands a couple feet from him and the impact knocks him back. He lands hards against the street pavement and does not move. "How did you know he was following us?" Stan ask. "Am I not a God?" replied Magni.
"Ok, so you are back to that, we need to go. A crowd is starting to form looking at what you just did. First lets make a stop." A few minutes later Stan and Magni come walking out of the thift store. "Now you look normal." Stan said. Magni beside him was wearing a Shore City Cougar football jersey from their championship team, grey sweat pants, and a thick dark blue duffel bag with his other cloths were in. "A royal family member would not be seen like this, and I can barely move in this." Magni says as he is walking trying to strech in his new clothes. "Don't worry we are almost back at my place."
A few minutes later the pair finally arrived at Stan's apartment, which look like a run down brownstown building from the outside. It had four stories, and each room having two windows facing the front of the building. With a rusting fire escape on the north side of the buidling. As they approach the steps, the door opens up and Stan's landlord, Rebecca is standing in the doorway. "Stan do you have your rent?" she ask. "No remember I told you I don't get paid until next Friday, and I know the finest landlord in Shore City remembers everything." Stan says with a big grim. "I told you before, no rent, no room, and who is this, another friend without a job?" Magni just stood there staring at Rebecca with her long red hair, attach to her slender frame, he just stared without saying anything. Stan noticing his silence, says "This is my cousin from back east, he doesn't talk much, spends all of his time in the gym." With that Stan and Magni walk inside the apartment building, with Rebecca just shaking her head as they walk by.
Across town in the business district, in a high rise building overlooking the ocean. Derrick and a couple of his thugs are getting off the elevator and walks into the office on the top floor. They walk by four arm guards in the hall before going thru a special glass door, once inside they are met by another set of arms. The led guard motions for Derrick and he walks in the room and sits down across from the desk in the middle of the office. There are already two men in the room, one of them are setting behind the desk and the other is standing the shadows. The man behind desk just looks at Derrick for a minute and then ask "What happen? Can't you handle this simple job? You are support to keep fear up on that side of town, now I hear that someone took you out and your gang. You care to explain?"
"That big fool got the drop on us, hanging out with that loser Stan. I never saw him before, but I will be ready for him next time. My boys and I got more firepower this time, and we are going to cancelled that body building punk next time we see him!" The man in the shadows just stand there, keeping just out of sight. "Derrick, Derrick you are my favorite and if you tell me you got this, I trust you. Remember I don't take failures, so go fix this. I run this city with fear and a iron glove and the Rose, son of the Kingpin of Crime always gets what he wants."
