There's an endless road to rediscover (HP/MARVEL)


It was common knowledge in just about every pantheon that Odin's favourite punishment for his sons was to force them to live a human life, sometimes with, sometimes without memories. In fact he had done it often enough to inspire Zeus/Jupiter to do the same to Apollo when the god in question messed up.

This time it was because them fighting over something (no one managed to figure out what exactly it was but as the whole thing in New York had only been about six months ago no one really cared), and for the first time Odin decided they might benefit from going through it together.


Sirius Orion Black was born on November 3, 1959.

His parents, Orion and Walburga, did not like his rebellious attitude at all and as a result their parenting was… not very good. In fact it could be classified as abusive.

Sirius, while loving his lessons about magic, did not like those about culture and muggles. To him it seemed wrong to think less of someone just because they did not have magic (seidr, the strange voice at the very back of his mind corrected).

Orion and Walburga were delighted when they discovered their son and heir was a metamorphmagus, less so when it became obvious he did not care for social standards when he did it, thus turning female or into an animal whenever it suited him.

Sirius cared a lot for his brother, despite their disagreements and differences, but he would point blank refuse to admit it.

Still, with the amount of cunning he displayed, it seemed obvious he would end up in Slytherin (or at the very least Ravenclaw given the intelligence he possessed), so they thought they must have done something right.


James Henry Potter was born on March 27, 1960.

His parents, Fleamont and Euphemia, had tried to concieve for years and, as they were getting quite old, had no real hope left, so he turned out to be a welcome surprise.

Consequently, they showered their son with love and attention. Perhaps a bit too much, but it was still within reasonable, understandable limits.

From a young age, James was interested in flying. His parents had to try very hard if they wanted to get him away from his age appropriate broomstick. Still, it somehow felt wrong to the boy, as if he was meant to use something else.

He was loud and brash and enthusiastic, and not stupid either (even if he often acted like it).

James was the type of person who would show their (at this point only platonic) love without caring what others thought.

He was a very confident young boy and he loved to laugh, but clearly lacked some friends to share his humor with, so they were glad when he finally turned eleven.


These two boys met when they happened to arrive in front of an empty compartment at the same time.

"You wanna share?" James asked after a few seconds of silence.

"I suppose that would be the best," Sirius agreed and they both entered.

Slowly other people joined them, a quiet boy with scars across his face (for some reason the voice in Sirius' mind expressed its guilt), another boy with mousy brown hair and (after the four of them had begun chatting), a redhaired girl and a rather poor looking boy with shoulder long black hair.

Eventually the conversation stirred to the Houses they wanted to be in.

"I think would leave if I were in Slytherin, wouldn't you?"

Sirius shrugged. "My whole family is in Slytherin, or at the very least the most of them were."

"Oh man and I thought you were okay!"

Sirius grimaced. "I did not exactly have the best time with them. And I think you shouldn't bully someone just because of a certain characteristic. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for pranking, but bullying crosses the line." Voice-at-the-back-of-his-mind seemed to have experienced it and in a way, so had he.

"I agree. I'm Lily by the way. Lily Evans."

They all introduced themselves and continued to talk, slowly growing closer, slowly becoming friends.

"No matter what houses were going to end in, we're staying friends, right?" Peter asked shyly, as if doubting his worth, when the train stopped.

All six of them agreed, even if Severus and James continued to eye each other warily.


"Black, Sirius"

What do we have here? I haven't sorted one of you in quite some time. Let me say it's an honor.

What are you talking about?

You will find out in time. Let's look at you. Bravery and nerve, intelligence and wit, yes, but you are also cunning, ambitious and resourceful. You would do well in either Slytherin or Gryffindor, the only difference is how. But I think the best house for you would be SLYTHERIN!


"Evans, Lily"

Barely a second passed before the hat yelled, "GRYFFINDOR!"

"Lupin, Remus"

The hat took longer this time, but it did not quite qualify for a Hatstall. "GRYFFINDOR!"

"Pettigrew, Peter"

It took over five minutes, but in the end the hat shouted, "SLYTHERIN!"


"Potter, James"

Another one? Again, I'm honored. With you there isn't really much of a question, is there? You're brave, daring, have nerve and while you're loyal and intelligent too, you value neither hard work nor knowledge for knowledge's sake. This makes you a good GRYFFINDOR!


"Snape, Severus"

Just as soon as the hat touched his head it screamed, "SLYTHERIN!"


They kept their promise from the train and eventually even James and Severus developed a close friendship.

They talked during their shared classes, during meals (it was not stated anywhere in the rules you had to sit with your house, so why shouldn't they alternate?) and in their free time.

The six of them even found the Room that the house elf Lily had somehow befriended informed them was called Room of Requirement, so that was where they usually met. After all, this way they could plan their pranks in privacy.


One day in late March (they later discovered it was James' birthday) Peter, Remus, Severus and Lily entered the room to discover the other two members of their group arguing loudly.

"-you! Even when we were still children, no millennia old, it was always the same! It was always Thor this, Thor that, Thor did this so much better, why can't you be more like your brother!" Sirius yelled, throwing his arms in the air.

"Well, brother, it was not my fault, was it? How was I to change father's, Asgard's opinion?" James, tears in his eyes, pleaded with his friend.

"You could have started by stopping to encourage them! Did you think I wouldn't hear you whispering with your friends? Saying how I should stop doing women's work and join you on the training fields more often? How you judged me for being who I was? That I didn't hear you judging my children, just because I was the one who carried them?! And! And when I was brainwashed, not under my own control - and yet I still managed to divert his plan - you did. Not. Notice! You didn't notice that my eyes changed color, even after seeing them for hundreds of years! And what happened after that, did you think I would enjoy being kept alone in solitary confinement, like the monster you thought I was?!"

Remus flinched hearing this, and Lily decided to interrupt them.

"What is going on here?"

The two of them looked at the other four, then at each other, then back to the others.

"The simplest explaination is," Sirius stated seriously, "that we're the reincarnations of Loki and Thor," he motioned to himself while saying the first part and to James during the latter, "and that we have about two thousand years worth of issues to work through."
