"I mean... I do love my sister... I just..." Thor began to tell them. "It felt like she got away with everything every time something bad happened... I felt like I'd always get blamed for it and get in trouble. My parents always told me to look after my little sister... One day, she kinda embarrassed me, and I yelled at her and even said I wished she had never been born. That made her cry, and... My parents sent me to bed without supper. That's when I decided to run away from home."
"Whoa." The kids said.
"I didn't look back... I just kept going..." Thor said.
We are shown a flashback.
Thor looked into his home window with a hobo sack, seeing his family together with tears in his eyes and he soon walked off.
"I was ready to start my brand new life and didn't turn back..." Thor narrated.
Thor soon ended up in the middle of nowhere and broke down crying. "Mommy! MOMMY!" he then bawled miserably.
"I was all alone and scared." Thor narrated.
Thor looked around as he seemed to be on his own.
We are shown Lionel as he was also alone and appeared to be sleeping in a box. Or, at least trying to.
"Ugh! Stupid box!" Lionel complained.
Thor soon wiped his eyes and stared up at the sky. "Can it get any worse?"
A rain drop soon fell on him and it broke down raining that night.
"I guess that answers my question..." Thor sulked. He soon came to the box and grabbed it, not knowing Lionel was in it and soon took it for himself.
"Whoa! Hey!" Lionel yelled out, falling on the floor as Thor emptied the box and took it to make himself at home.
"Oops. Sorry." Thor frowned.
"Watch it, buddy!" Lionel glared. "This is my house! That's the bedroom, and that's MY bed!"
"Why are you sleeping in a box?" Thor asked.
"'Cuz I have nowhere else to go!" Lionel huffed.
"Funny, neither do I." Thor frowned.
"Hmm..." Lionel just glanced at him.
Thor soon put the box back down and was his way out of the alley to let Lionel be alone since he felt unneeded. Lionel looked rather sad for Thor. Thor soon went to look for another box.
"Where you from, kid?" Lionel asked.
"I'm from a galaxy halfway across the solar system." Thor said truthfully with a small smile, though he didn't know any mortal or anyone else he would meet wouldn't believe that since he had never left home before.
"That's nice, I'm from the 5th Dimension." Lionel said truthfully.
"Hmm..." Thor smiled to him.
Lionel smiled back. It seemed like the two of them became friends and they soon ended up in the House of Lucky Fortune since living in the streets got too dangerous and risky for their health and safety. The flashback soon ended there.
"And you can already guess the rest from there." Lionel said.
"So, basically, he kinda imprisoned you too in a way." Cherry said.
"Something like that, yeah." Thor replied while holding his stomach out of hunger.
"We better get you something to eat." Atticus told Thor.
"I am kinda hungry... I'm so hungry I could ride a horse." Thor said.
"Eat a horse." Cherry corrected.
"...That's disgusting!" Thor grimaced.
"No, that's the expression." Cherry said.
"...Okay." Thor replied.
"He's... A little slower than most others..." Lionel told the others.
Mrs. Beakley soon came in, bringing a sandwich with some chips, a little fruit cup, and a drink for Thor.
"Mm." Thor smiled.
"I hope that's efficient enough." Mrs. Beakley said.
"Thank you, ma'am, it looks amazing!" Thor beamed as he began to eat.
"I'm sure that will be enough for Thor." Lionel said.
"Are you hungry?" Mrs. Beakley asked.
"Eh... I could eat," Lionel shrugged. "I'll have what he's having."
Mrs. Beakley soon went and made the same food for Lionel. Thor continued to eat and soon smiled.
"Better?" Atticus smiled to him.
"Much better," Thor smiled back. "Mom's burgers are sounding really good about now though."
Mrs. Beakley soon served the same food to Lionel.
"Thanks, lady, you seem swell." Lionel smiled before he began to eat the food.
"You're welcome." Mrs. Beakley told him.
"I hope you get home safe, Thor." Atticus smiled.
"I hope so too." Thor replied before hugging him suddenly.
Atticus didn't expect that, but decided to hug him back.
"You're my new best friend." Thor smirked.
"Uh, okay, you're my new best guy friend." Atticus smiled politely.
"Isn't he your only best guy friend?" Cherry asked her best friend with a playful smirk.
"Well, I didn't want you to feel jealous if I called him my new best friend." Atticus smirked back.
"Ooh, touché." Cherry smirked back.
"You guys are funny." Thor smiled all around happily.
"Thanks, I think." Cherry said.
Thor soon drank his drink before yawning sleepily. Lionel also yawned as he felt tired.
Scrooge soon brought them into a room which had bunk beds in it. "I hope ye lads enjoy this room," he said to them. "I know it isn't much, but I'm sure ye can make the most of it."
"We sure will, sir." Lionel said.
Thor soon climbed up the ladder and jumped onto the top bunk with a smile, which creaked due to his size.
"Just be careful up there, huh, buddy?" Lionel said.
"Okay!" Thor smiled before he got comfortable.
Lionel soon got comfortable in the lower bed.
"Good night, lads." Scrooge said.
"Good night, Mr. McDuck." Thor and Lionel replied as it was quite late at night.
The rest of the kids soon went to bed.
"I know he's going home soon, but I hope Thor can stay or come to visit again soon," Atticus yawned to himself on his way to his bedroom for the night. "He seems like a nice guy."
Everyone soon went to bed that night as it was a bit of a long one due to the adventure in the casino.
The next day soon came. Thor and Lionel soon woke up and Thor got ready to get going back home since he promised his mother that he would, but of course, he would need breakfast to help stay awake.
"I'm so sad to leave my new friends." Thor pouted.
"You have to go home to your family though." Mo told him.
"Yeah." Webby nodded.
"It was fun, guys." Thor said before pulling all of them into a hug with a smile.
The others grunted a bit from the tight hug which was like a bear hug.
"It sure was." Dewey grunted.
Thor soon let go of them and went to leave McDuck Manor until someone came to the door.
"May I help you?" Mrs. Beakley asked.
"Yes... I'm looking for my little boy... Have you seen him?" A woman's voice asked.
"Mom!" Thor beamed, running down the hallway as he ran to the door, hugging his mother instantly as he knew her voice anywhere.
"Thor!" Thor's mother beamed.
Thor and his mother shared a hug with each other. Thor sniffled, hugging his mother while crying.
"Thank you so much." The woman said.
"Um, you're welcome, Mrs..." Mrs. Beakley replied.
"Mrs. Moltenscar," The woman smiled. "Please call me Moxie."
"Well, you're welcome, Moxie." Mrs. Beakley smiled back.
"Thornton, do you have your things ready?" Moxie asked.
"Yeah, Mom, I'm ready to come home." Thor smiled.
"Then let's get home." Moxie smiled back.
Thor smiled and walked off with his mother before looking back at his new friends. They all gave small smiles to him, though he seemed to slowly follow his mother back home, and soon stopped as he finally had some friends and didn't want to leave them so soon. Moxie noticed this and saw why her son stopped. Thor looked over to them.
"Thornton...?" Moxie called.
"It's just... I finally have friends..." Thor said to her. "I miss you, Dad, and even Phoebe... But..."
"Would you like to come over and see them once in a while?" Moxie smiled.
Thor nodded in agreement.
"Well... If you would like that and they're up for it too, then of course you can visit them again real soon." Moxie smiled to him.
"Wahoo!" Thor cheered.
"Let's get you home though," Moxie smiled back. "I got some syrup covered pork chops with mac and cheese and buttery mashed potatoes with your name on it~"
"Mom! You're the best!" Thor beamed.
Moxie smiled, happy to make her son happy. Thor waved to his friends as he soon went back home with his mother.
"Aww... I like a happy ending." Lionel said, trying to get close to Cherry since Thor was gone.
"Don't even think about it." Cherry smirked without looking at Lionel.
"Aw, come on, live a little." Lionel said.
"Nah." Cherry replied, walking away from him.
"I like a challenge." Lionel smiled.
"I'm sure you do..." Cherry muttered. "Hmm... I wonder if I should get an internship somewhere?"
"Like where?" Mo asked.
"Not sure," Cherry said. "I just think it might be a good idea to have some of my own money to spend instead of just asking Scrooge for money."
"Maybe get a job?" Lionel suggested. "Or do chores?"
"That's why I'm thinking of an internship somewhere." Cherry said to him.
"Well, someone should keep you company there if you find something." Lionel hinted.
"Ugh." Cherry groaned.
"I could do this all day." Lionel smirked.
Cherry rolled her eyes and went to her room, shutting him out.
"I... Wouldn't go in there for a while..." Atticus warned Lionel as he was about to go in the room after Cherry.
"Why?" Lionel asked.
"Trust me, it's safe if you don't go in there for a while." Atticus told him.
Lionel glanced at him and soon went inside anyway. Atticus looked a bit scared for Lionel. Lionel soon yelled out and ran for his life, running out the door in a panic.
"I warned you." Atticus reminded.
Lionel shivered and turned into an ice cube. "She has such an icy stare!"
"Yep." Atticus said.
"I'll just wait for her to calm down." Lionel gulped.
"Smart decision." Atticus told him as he soon decided to cook his own breakfast.
"What are you cooking?" Mo asked.
"Ah, some eggs and bacon," Atticus replied. "As long as Huey isn't near the oven."
"Hey, I can cook just fine!" Huey pouted.
"Remember the last meal you cooked?" Atticus asked.
"...I can always learn." Huey said.
"Later." Atticus told him as he began to cook breakfast.
"Oh, fine." Huey pouted.
"You want eggs, Mo?" Atticus asked.
"Scrambled with cheese if you don't mind." Mo smiled.
"Coming right up." Atticus smiled back.
Mo smiled to him for his help.
"I'll take scrambled too with ketchup and black pepper." Lionel said.
"Of course." Atticus said before making fried eggs with bacon and toast on a plate and went to Cherry's room, knocking on the door before running off.
Cherry slammed the door open before looking around, then saw the breakfast plate, and took it, going back in her room to eat it in peace.
"Whew." Atticus sighed.
Eventually, everyone else began to have breakfast after Atticus cooked it for them and Mrs. Beakley smiled to his help.
"Mm... So delicious." Mo smiled.
"Oh, Atticus, that was so sweet of you." Mrs. Beakley said.
"I do my best, ma'am." Atticus smiled as he enjoyed breakfast with them.
"These eggs are so awesome!" Webby beamed.
Atticus smiled bashfully to them.
"Yeah, you're a great cook," Lionel said. "Who taught you how to cook?"
"I watched some TV shows, and I thought it'd be a good skill to learn." Atticus replied.
"So, you taught yourself how to cook?" Mo smiled.
"I've experimented a few times, but yeah," Atticus smiled back. "Eventually, Donald let me cook at times when we didn't have him around or a babysitter."
"Yeah, which would be the same babysitter." Louie groaned.
"Normally, yeah." Atticus nodded in memory.
They soon finished breakfast and they all wondered what to do for the day.
"Hmm... What to do? What to do?" Atticus wondered.
"Well, I've got to meet a certain 'friend' of mine." Scrooge said with air quotes.
"Mind if we come with?" Cherry asked.
"Well... I guess that would be harmless... As long as there's no magic." Scrooge said.
"No magic, I promise." Cherry replied.
"We won't do any magic while we're there." Atticus told him.
"All right... Ye can come along... But also, remember your manners." Scrooge said.
"We promised." Cherry and Atticus told him.
"Very good." Scrooge nodded to that.
"Let's get going." Huey smiled.
And so, they left to see Scrooge's friend who was revealed to be his arch rival.
"Flintheart Glomgold!" Cherry and Atticus glared.
"You're the 'friend' that he's supposed to meet?!" Atticus glared at Flintheart Glomgold.
"Well, it is a billionaire's club and I am a billionaire." Flintheart smirked.
"Great." Cherry rolled her eyes.
Scrooge and Flintheart soon glared to each other since they were arch rivals. And where they didn't seem to blink or stop glaring at each other.
"Are we going to the store, or...?" Huey began to ask.
"Quiet," Scrooge replied. "I'm in the middle of a Vision Beast Battle of Wills."
"So, it's a staring contest?" Dewey shrugged.
"Looks that way." Atticus said.
"It's not just a staring contest!" Flintheart said before gasping and glaring at Scrooge. "It's a-Nice try, McDuck, but your family bickering will never get me to look away, never!"
"It's a staring contest." Cherry concluded in a dry tone of voice.
"Guess we'll wait outside then." Atticus said.
"Excuse me, this area of the Duckburg Billionaires' Club is only for our elite members," A butler told them. "The crème de la crème the finest ducks in Duckburg!"
"We got it, we got it, we're leaving." Cherry rolled her eyes.
And as they left, Huey saw someone new enter the room. "Is that...?"
"Yep." The man said to Huey as he came in the room as they were leaving.
"That was Mark Beaks!" Huey gushed out of excitement. "He's right in there! Oh, man, I'm almost breathing the same air as him," he then sniffed the air like a fan boy. "Oh, ingenuity."
"He seemed interesting." Atticus said.
"Come on, like I couldn't be a young, influential business guy?" Dewey remarked as he played with a suit of armor.
Huey sighed with a laugh, thinking about that.
"What?" Dewey glanced at his brother.
"Oh. Oh! You were serious?" Huey replied. "It's just you're more the crazy, irresponsible, fun guy than the serious, brilliant, successful guy."
"He's not wrong." Cherry said.
"Oh, come on, Cherry... Dewey's not the most responsible guy around..." Atticus said.
"You don't know!" Dewey glared before putting on the helmet. "At least I'm not the guy who just reads about people who do stuff guy. I could be a bigger deal than Beaks in three years, tops!"
"You never know." Atticus shrugged.
The suit of armor soon fell down and crashed.
"I'll pay for that in three years," Dewey nervously told the butler who glared at him. "I am very sorry."
"Oi." Cherry groaned with an eye roll.
Some time passed as Cherry, Atticus, Huey, and Dewey tried to keep busy in the 'kid's section' of the rich club.
"So bored." Atticus complained.
Dewey began to dance like a robot. Cherry rolled her eyes from that slightly.
"Keep making dat money, y'all! See you in $2 million and counting!" Mark called out as he began to leave before mumbling as the doors shut behind him and he took out his phone. "Stuck up old money-duddies. Don't even have a social media presence."
"Oh, sure, wait until the door is closed." Atticus rolled his eyes.
"Mr. Beaks, I'm Dewey, future astronaut president-" Dewey spoke up excitedly to Mark.
"Can you sign this?" Huey beamed, taking out his magazine. "You're my hero and a genius!"
"Genius? You two, I like how much you like me!" Mark smiled, taking the magazine to sign it. "That shows real smarts! Come by the offices and I'll hook you up with a tour. Maybe even an after-school job?" he then imitated a laser gun to humor them.
'This guy is seeming less interesting now.' Atticus thought to himself.
"You mean it?!" Huey beamed.
"Sure." Mark replied.
"Why not?" Dewey shrugged.
"Amazing sauce. I'll text you," Mark told them before riding off. "Internship starts maana!"
"Did he say an internship?" Cherry asked.
"I guess so." Dewey said.
"Well, Cherry, it looks like you got a job." Atticus said.
"Looks like it." Cherry said.
"Come on, Cherry, you can help me out then." Huey smiled.
"Alright." Cherry said.
Soon, Scrooge came to see them after dealing with Flintheart.
"Finally done with your staring contest?" Atticus asked Scrooge.
"Erm... It wasn't a staring contest, but aye, we are done." Scrooge replied.
Cherry and Atticus rolled their eyes from that.
"So, anything interesting happen while I was with Flinty?" Scrooge asked the kids.
"Um, well, I'm gonna help Huey with his new after school job." Cherry replied.
"Yep." Huey nodded.
Scrooge looked curious about that.
