I flipped on the radio. It's Raining Men by the Weather Girls came on and it was just starting. I hummed along as I drove to the mini mart.
No One's POV"Tony this isn't a good idea." Steve said as Tony Stark and he pulled up in the driveway of the house that they tracked Nick to.
"Just relax. That orange haired kid is in love with me. We'll get in in no time." Tony said with his usual way as he turned off the sports car and slid out.
"Alright." Rogers sighed as he walked with the genius to the front door.
Tony Stark pushed the doorbell. Loud stomps of feet and a few shouts could be heard behind the door before it swung open reveling a very wet looking Parker with a towel around his waist.
Parker looked out the door towards the two and was quickly knocked aside by a short but strong headed girl with dark red hair.
"It's a mini Natasha." Stark chuckled back towards Steve.
"Parker, go put some clothes on." the girl said without looking away from the two outside.
"But it's Tony Stark, Zo." Parker wined as he flailed an arm out towards the said person.
"Live and in the flesh. Now kid, go put some clothes on before you slip on this tile." Tony Stark said as he stepped inside and gestured to the tile he was standing on.
Parker huffed then ran up the stairs to his room. "Mr. Stark, what are you doing here?" Zoey said as she looked at the billionaire waiting on his answer.
"May I come in?" Steve asked politely before stepping inside after Zoey gave him a nod.
"Nice to know one of you has manners." Zoey said still looking at the man before her.
"Zo, was it the pizza guy? Oh. Guess not." Jake said as he came up the steps to see the two men standing by the door.
"So, nice place you guys got. Do you all live together?" Stark said as he drifted towards the kitchen.
"Only four of us." Zoey said crossing her arms while giving the other man standing next to her a up down.
"How many are there of you?" Stark asked as he opened the fridge.
"Seven," Courtney said as she came up the stairs, "Mr. Stark."
"Well the seven of you are out of milk." Tony replied back as he shut the fridge to look at the new girl in the room.
"Nick is going to get some." Parker said as he came down the steps in a band t-shirt and jeans.
"Yep and she wouldn't be happy with us letting two strangers in." Ryan said as he came up the stairs to stand behind Courtney.
"Tony, I think it's time to leave." Steve said as he fidgeted by the door.
"Oh, no. Please stay. The pizza guy will be coming soon." Zoey said as she shut the door and led the solider over to the bar in the kitchen.
"If there's five of you here and one is getting milk, where is the seventh?" Stark asked as he sat next to Steve at the bar.
"Probably in his room experimenting." Ryan said as he leaned against the counter.
"Experimenting with what?" Steve asked as he looked over at the kid.
"His usual." Ryan said as he sat up on the counter opposite of the two at the bar.
"Which is?" Stark said as he looked around some more.
"Magnesium, a few acids and hydrogen peroxide along with silver, aluminum and a few other metals. Why, who's asking?" Dominic said as he came down the steps flipping through a file.
"Wow." Steve said as he stood to get a better look at the kid in glasses still skimming through the file in his hands.
"Oh, hello. I'm Dominic," he said as he pushed his glasses up his nose and gave a small wave, "Parker, where is your robot you were working on?" Dominic finished as he turned towards said person.
"In my room. Why?" Parker asked as he walked over to the future scientist.
"Look," Dominic said pointing to a picture in the file, "If I can have your help we can place the computer in the middle along with a few other adjustments to make it more flexible."
Dominic finished at the end of the hall with Parker next to him now flipping through the file Dominic had before. The two turned the corner disappearing into Parker's room.
"I will never understand those two." Jake said as he opened the fridge.
"What type of robot is it?" Tony said sitting up.
"None of your business." Parker said walking out and grabbing something off of the coffee table in the living room and heading back down the hall.
"Some glove looking thing." Courtney said as she grabbed a Gatorade out of the fridge.
"Glove huh?" Stark said glancing at the captain.
"Hey guys. Who's car is in the driveway?" Nick said coming up the steps flipping through the mail while carrying the bags to the kitchen.
"A couple of friends from school." Ryan said quickly dragging the two superheros over to the couch as Nick had her back towards them putting the milk in the fridge.
"Oh, which two?" Nick said turning around just as the two heroes ducked to hide.
"Uh, Tom and Greg. Their football players." Ryan said sitting on the back of the sofa.
"Really. I didn't know you were friends with jocks. I thought you hated those guys." Nick said walking towards the hall to her office.
"Zo, help me out here." Ryan whispered.
"You're on your own." Zoey said smirking and walking over to the bag left on the counter.
"Jake?" Ryan asked when Nick was in her office.
"Nope." Jake said sitting down on one of the bar stools.
"On his own with what?" Nick asked walking out with a small box in hand.
"Helping them with their math." Ryan said glancing down at the two men he was hiding.
"Oh. Parker!" Nick shouted as she walked up the steps to her room.
"Yeah?" Parker said walking out of his room.
"This came in the mail for you." Nick said handing it to Parker then trotting up the steps.
"Thanks." Parker said peering at the label on the box.
As soon as the rest heard the click of Nick's door closing they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why did we have to hide?" Tony Stark said standing and sitting back on the coffee table.
"I case you didn't notice the way Nick treated you two, she didn't like you. If she saw you here all hell would break loose." Parker said looking up from the box to the man now flipping through a magazine on the table.
"Oh, right. So, what now?" Steve said sitting up and looking at the kid on the back of the couch.
"Hey Courtney, guess who I saw at the mini mart?" Nick said jogging down the stairs from changing into black sweats with a green tank top. The two dove back behind the couch as soon as they heard Nick's voice.
"Who?" Courtney asked taking a sip of her Gatorade.
"That Danny guy." Nick said pulling the bag away from Zoey before she could look inside.
"Oh, what did he do today?" Courtney asked leaning against the wall.
"He gave me some flowers I think I left in the car. Anyways, I can't remember but he said I was meant to be with him or something like that. That's like the fifth time I've heard him say something of that sorts." Nick said turning her back to Courtney to grab a napkin to clean up the spill Jake made on the counter.
"Have a drinking problem?" Nick joked as she turned back and handed the napkin to Jake.
"Danny is the one who looks like Danny Phantom right?" Courtney asked pushing off the wall to go upstairs.
"Yeah the tall black haired guy with the green eyes." Nick said going to pull out the contents of the bag in front of her.
"Why does that sound familiar?" Tony Stark whispered quietly to Steve.
Before Courtney could reply to Nick the door bell rang. Nick pushed the bag back towards Zoey and walked to answer the door.
"Hi, large pepperoni pizza and beads sticks?" The teenager with horrible acne asked.
"Yes." Nick answered grabbing cash to pay from her pocket.
"That will be twelve seventy-five." The kid answered glancing around the parts of the house that he could see including behind the couch.
"Is that Tony Stark and Captain America!?" The teen asked in excitement.
"What?" Nick asked looking back and spotting the two before they could dash to hide somewhere else.
"Why yes it is. Here." Nick said shoving a twenty in the kid's hand and taking her order. "Keep the change." Nick said turning and shutting the door.
"So Ryan, which one is Tom and which is Greg out of the two here." Nick said handing the pizza and bread sticks to Jake.
"Uhh." Ryan said rubbing the back of his neck as the two stood from their places.
"I call being Tom." Tony Stark said raising his hand.
"Why do you get to be Tom?" the captain asked looking at the rich playboy.
"Because I look nothing like a Greg." Tony said placing a delicate hand on his chest.
"Why are you here?" Nick said crossing her arms shifting her weight to one leg.
"All you captain." Tony Stark said shoving his hands into his front pockets and wandering off to look around more.
"Why me?" Rogers said pointing to himself.
"You're technically a higher rank than me." the playboy said looking up at some photos of the kids.
"You got us into this mess." Steve said looking back at the curious man.
"Whatever. I'm going to go get those freaky flowers out of the car." Nick said turning sharply and headed down the stairs.
"Freaky?" Jake asked to no one particular with a confused look while digging into the pizza.
Danny's POV
"Wow, has she changed a lot." I thought to myself as I walked through the house.
Stark ducked down the hall as the people Katelyn lived with ate in the kitchen with the captain. I followed him as no one could see me for I was invisible. Stark quietly opened the door to her office and slipped inside shutting the door behind himself. I simply walked through the door.
"Wow. What's in there?" the smart-ass asked aloud to himself as he walked over behind Katelyn's desk to what looked like a long glass cage.
I walked around the other side of the desk to get a look at the contents of the clear rectangular cage. Stark slide the top off to get a better look at a green looking thing under a small pile of twigs fussed together.
As Stark bent to look closer the creature inside snapped up at him with fangs out.
"Holy S**t!" Stark cursed as he pulled himself back away from the animal.
It was a small bright green snake probably two feet long. It hissed as it rocked back it to it's striking pose.
"Stark! What the hell are you doing in my office?" Katelyn said from the door.
I hadn't heard the door open over the sound of Stark's cussing. She was mad by the look on her face. She stalked forward to the opposite side of the desk where I was keeping her glare level at Stark the whole time. I had to step back towards the wall to keep her from bumping into me.
"Ah, I was just admiring your, ah, pet." Stark said taking a step back away from Katelyn as she reached in the cage to lift out the snake.
"You're a terrible lier. This is Anubis." Katelyn said holding out the snake weaving in and out of her fingers. It hissed as Stark reached out to pet it.
"I think I'll go now." Stark said retracting his hand and heading for the door.
"What were you looking for?" Katelyn asked looking down at Anubis.
"Ah, nothing in particular." Stark lied as he slipped out the door.
"Weird people." Katelyn muttered to herself as she sat down in her office chair. Anubis happily roped up her arm resting around her neck.
I moved closer to get a better look at the small creature as it slid around to the back of Katelyn's neck. I reached out a hand to let it smell me. His tongue flicked out towards me capturing my scent.
"Who are you?" I could hear the snakes thoughts in my head so I answered back.
"Loki, pleased to meet you Anubis." I thought back to him as he circled back around to the front.
Nick was busy shuffling papers on her desk as she said, "Who are you talking to mister."
Katelyn gently pulled the snake from around her neck. Anubis apparently didn't like it because he bit her collar bone.
"Ouch. That's not nice." Katelyn said putting her free hand over the wound. There was a faint glow of blue before she pulled it away to put Anubis on the metal tree next to her desk.
"Now who were you talking to?" Katelyn asked grabbing a few sheets of paper off her desk and standing to put them in file cabinet.
"Why do you need to know?" Anubis hissed back at her. I could still hear him in my head.
"Because I can give you to Jake." Katelyn said smirking at the snake.
"You wouldn't dare. He's a buffoon." Anubis hissed curling back.
"Oh I would." Katelyn said sitting back down and propping her feet up on the desk.
"It was a man named Loki. Nice man so far." the green creature said looking back passed her at me. I froze in place not making a sound. Like I was before.
"Why does that name ring a bell? A very large bell." Katelyn said sitting up and pulling a file out a small drawer in her desk.
"I don't know. You have a file on him." Joker hissed to her still keeping a level gaze at me.
"Loki." Katelyn mumbled to herself leaning back and opening the file.

Hey guys, hope you liked this. It's a work in progress so far. Other stories will be updated soon. Sorry for taking so long. Here is a link to what Anubis looks like. I was going to name him Seth or Anubis.
