Justin climbed down the ladder leading to his bunker with his battleax hooked to his belt by a leather strap. The battleax was long, almost the entire length of his leg, and heavy. It had been a gift from his father that he had received on his first quest. It had also taken him a couple months to build up the strength to be able to simply hold the ax in his hands, let alone swing it and wield it.

It was somewhat early in the morning, the usual time he would get up and start getting things done. He stretched his arms out with a yawn as he looked up at his sister’s bunker. “Wakey wakey, Sleeping Beauty,” he called up to her. He heard a loud groan and looked over toward Zach’s bunker, feeling a pang of guilt when he realized he had probably woken up the fellow camper… again. It wasn’t his fault that Zach’s bunker was right near his and his sister’s, though. It was just his fault that he kept accidentally waking up Zach whenever he went to wake up his sister.

He looked up again at his sister’s bunker, growing impatient. “Riley, c’mon!” he called up, wincing as he felt something hit the back of his head. “Ow!” He rubbed the back of his head and looked down to see a pinecone on the ground right by his feet. He looked over his shoulder and sent a glare at Zach, who was glaring right back at him from the window of his own bunker. He could see the tiredness in the son of Baldr’s eyes.

“Sorry! I’ll be quiet,” he said, though there was a hint of irritation in his own voice. He watched Zach roll his eyes before the younger teenager disappeared inside his bunker, no doubt curling back onto his bed. He bent down and scooped up the pinecone, looking it over. A mischievous grin slipped onto his face and he drew his arm back. He loved his sister dearly and was protective over her, but nonetheless, he was the younger twin. And he occasionally acted like it.

He threw the pinecone up through the window of her bunker. He was tempted to shout incoming, but he knew that not only would it piss Zach off – if the pacifist was even capable of getting pissed off – but it would most likely cause a panic to spread through the camp. He didn’t want to cause that.

Laying down in her comfy bed, Riley was happy. She had her sleeping schedule back on track and she had managed to sleep through out most of the night. Though of course there was one little problem with that; her brother Justin. He had decided it was time to wake her up. For the most part she had ignored him, hoping he would go away or that it was a nightmare. But no and him attempting to wake her up had woken up the kid in the bunker next to her; Zach. She liked Zach, as a friend of course.

Hearing her brother say 'ow', Riley smiled in her asleep state. The fact that Zach had thrown something her brother was funny. "Nice move Zach" she said, trying not to be too loud. Though her happiness had died when whatever Zach had thrown at her twin came back and hit her. Standing up, she grabbed the pine cone and looked out her window. "You are so dead" she called out to her younger brother and chucked the now dangerous weapon at him. "I was trying to sleep" she groaned. It was no use trying to go back to sleep.

Quickly tossing on the first shirt she could get a hold of, Riley's mind began thinking of different ideas to possibly maim Justin. She'd probably get in trouble for using the weapon her father gave her on her own brother. Climbing down the ladder, when she was close enough to the ground jumped and landed on her feet. Looking over at Zach's bunker, she smiled. "Next quest I go on, I'm bringing you a gift." she said to him and looked over at her brother. Stomping over to him, her hand hit his arm about four or five times before she said anything. "You little as.s hat!" she said and hit him a few times and let out a muffle groan. "You are so lucky I'm not using what dad gave me." she said, pointing at her little mini Mjolnir.

Running her fingers through her hair, all of her rage was gone now. And rage made her sleepy. She couldn't be angry all of the time. Yawning and covering her mouth, she raised an eyebrow at her brother. "So why did you wake me at the crack of dawn? I mean I just got my sleep schedule back to normal. I don't do this to you" she complained, frowning at Justin.

Justin barely dodged the pinecone, moving to the side so it hit the floor. He kicked it with his foot, grinning to himself. Man, he loved messing with his sister. Annoying her was just so fun! He may have been protective over her, but he was still the younger twin. Weren’t younger siblings supposed to be pests? That was his excuse.

He watched her come down and heard a faint grunt from Zach, acknowledging her words. “Yeah, like the precious Vanir is ever going on any quests,” he joked, lightly shaking his head. He winced with each hit he received. “Ow!” he whined, “I’m telling dad!” That, though depended on whether or not Thor ever listened to their prayers. He rolled his eyes at her threat. He may have been eighteen, but he was capable of acting much younger.

He shrugged at her question. “I bugged Atticus yesterday so today is your turn,” he said, half-joking. He folded his arms across his chest. “You got like six or seven hours of sleep so I don’t know why you’re complaining.” He could practically imagine Zach in his bunker, grumbling eight hours aren’t enough. He made a mental note to wake Zach up on some day and totally run afterwards, that way he couldn’t throw anything else at him.

The only person he didn’t ever dare to wake up was Eleanor. He didn’t want to risk finding out if in a sleep-deprived state, would she actually try to kill him. Riley and Atticus were usually the ones he paid a visit to. And he woke Atticus up in a much nicer way. Since the two had started dating, he had actually climbed the tree into Atticus’ bunker and curled up, watching him sleep before deciding to wake him up with a few kisses.

He felt bad, not telling Riley he was dating Atticus. Surely she would have been fine with it and completely supportive. But he had been dealing with his secrets internally for so long. He wasn’t used to sharing them, especially when it came to Atticus. Atticus deserved better than to be locked away like some dirty secret. He deserved so much better, yet he couldn’t give it to him.

"And dad would probably agree with me, since I'm his daughter and since you deserved it. Okay two things. One, you're acting as if I chose this title when I arrived here. Like I raised my hand and was like 'sign me up, it sounds like fun'. Two, I do to go on quests you little shit." Riley rolled her eyes at her brother. "What do you think I do all day? Sit around camp and do nothing, just waiting for a vision to pop into my head?"

"Yeah I got about six or sevens for once. Last week I was running on about two hours of sleep for the entire week Justin." Riley explained to him. She never liked to bug him about the Vanir thing. Sure it was cool but getting horrible nightmares and visions at random times did take a toll on her. Running her fingers through her hair, she sighed and spun her hands in the air in a 'joyous' manner. "Lucky me. Why can't you bug somebody else? Like what's her name" Riley paused trying to think of the camper. "That daughter of Loki. Rosalia. Or why don't you go bug Eleanor. You know, somebody that isn't me."

"So how is Atticus? I never see him, it's like he sort of dropped off the face of Camp Midgard or something." Riley explained with a yawn. Stretching her arms out, she looked over at Justin. Sure most of the time he was an annoying little brat. But he was her brother after all. Her younger brother. Which meant she had been looking out for him since she was little. "And whenever I do see him, it's for a brief second." she added. She had never really gotten to speak to him. She only heard things about him from people like her brother.

To be perfectly honest, that was what he thought his sister did all day. He hadn’t liked when she became Vanir because he hadn’t like the target he thought it put on her back. The thought that his sister was going on quests – which happened to be very dangerous at times – wasn’t something he was happy with knowing. He was a brat to her, yes, but he was still very protective. He’d strangle and decapitate anyone who dared to even try to hurt her. Unless it was himself, of course. All pain from him came with love.

“And here I was, thinking you didn’t have a life,” he quipped back at her, though his grin faded quickly. He hadn’t realized how little sleep she was getting. He knew that being the Vanir wasn’t all glamorous, but he’d never realized the true toll it took on his sister. He felt a sense of anger swell up, directed toward the gods. Why couldn’t they have chosen someone else to be Vanir? Why did it have to be his sister?

“If you want, I can always sneak some medicine that could help you sleep,” he said, all joking aside for the moment. He was sure that if he got caught sneaking some sleeping aid into the camp, he could easily get himself out of the situation, depending on who it was that caught him. If it was camp staff, then he’d get a lecture on why drugs were bad – honestly, did they think he’d sneak in illegal drugs? He was fairly certain he could talk his way out of it if it was Eleanor. And, well, he liked to think he knew how to get whatever he wanted from Atticus.

“Ellie scares me, that’s why,” he explained, shaking his head. Eleanor was his friend, yes, but she scared him with the fact that he didn’t find her predictable. He rarely knew what she was going to do. And he was certain that if she wanted to, she could kill him, gut him, stuff him, and put him on display in the Palace. He didn’t comment on the daughter of Loki, mostly because he knew she was dating Zach, who could be listening in and have more pinecones stashed in his bunker.

Children of Loki made him feel uneasy. He didn’t know why. Robin and Rosalia were nice people, but he hated being alone with either of them. He suspected that that kid Evan might have been a kid of Loki – he made him feel the same uneasiness – but he couldn’t be sure since the kid was unclaimed. “I’ll bug Caspian tomorrow, how’s that?” He’d never woken Caspian up before. He heard a laugh come from Zachary’s bunker and questioned whether bugging Caspian was a good idea or not. After all, Caspian supposedly made up for the fighting that his pacifist shieldmate refused to do.

He pulled his gaze away from Riley and studied the ground when she brought Atticus up. He thought that if he didn’t look at her, he wouldn’t blush. “He’s uh – he’s good,” he replied, forcing his voice to stay even. He didn’t like lying to her and her certainly didn’t like keeping secrets from her. “Probably sleeping…”

"No" Riley protested. She didn't want her brother going out to get her medicine that could help her or even have negative side effects on her. She didn't want him to get into any trouble. "You don't need to be getting into trouble. Besides, I can always just push you into a lake or something and then go back to sleep."

Riley rolled her eyes at her little brother's comment of the other Aesir scaring him. "Good" she said with a smile on her face. "Maybe you need to hang around her more often, you always seem to actually do work when you're around her." she added. She always felt for the other Aesir, having to do probably all of the work by herself. She deserved a gold medal for putting up with brother.

Hearing that her little brother would bug somebody else the next day, Riley shook her head. "That's fine then. How you're still alive from this, I have no idea. I'd assume at least somebody would try to beat you up or murder you by now. Well besides me obviously."

Brushing some of her light blond out of her face, Riley raised an eyebrow at her little brother. He was acting...odd. Well odd for himself anyway. Seeing him look away from her, she placed her hand on her hip. "You okay Justin?" she questioned. For once her annoying and talkative little brother was silent. It was odd and scary all at the same time. Dusting off any dirt that she had on her clothes, she turned to face her little brother. "But seriously, are you okay? I mean you're never like this quiet. It's a little freaky"
