Autumn Is a Busy Season (Part 2)

As the saying goes, "He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present," and the same applies to gods.

Thor was furious at Loki's humiliation. If it were the old him, even if he knew he couldn't win and that attacking his superior might lead to Heimdall's expulsion, he would still fight Loki to the death.

But after arriving on Earth, Thor realized one thing: objective facts do not change according to human subjective initiative. If you fail an interview, you fail; if a company doesn't want you, they don't want you; if you can't find a job, you can't find a job. No matter how angry or resentful Thor, it's useless.

Thor had run into countless obstacles during this period. Originally, his warehouse workers were doing a decent job, but the wages were too low. After paying the rent, Thor even had trouble with food and clothing.

He desperately wanted to find a higher-paying job, but there were really no good jobs in Hell's Kitchen, so he had no choice but to leave.

Fortunately, he got along well with a group of truck drivers from Texas Hold'em while working in the warehouse. Thor learned some driving and repair skills from them and found a job at a repair shop near southern Manhattan.

However, the job was too far from his home, so Thor had to find a new place to live. The problem he was facing was that the only place he could afford that was close enough to his workplace was Loki's.

Even if Loki's intention was to trick him into coming here to mock him, Thor had no choice but to bow to reality. If he couldn't go to work on time and get his salary, he would have to sleep on the streets again.

No one knows what Loki was thinking, but in the end, he still opened the door for Thor. No one knows what their relationship was like, but in the end, Loki still rented the house to Thor.

There were many other apartments near Loki's upscale building, and in an apartment across the street, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Hill looked across the street through binoculars, while the Symbiote Phantom complained inside her, "I still think your plan to use Riot for research is a bit too risky. Why not just send him back to Klyntar planet and lock him up?"

"I don't know how you humans can be so bold. Aren't you afraid that Knull's chaotic power will descend again?"

Hill shrugged and said, "You can only talk to the Director about that. It's his plan, and there's nothing I can do about it."

The demon said helplessly, "Also, won't you incur the wrath of All-Father Odin, by spying on the two princes of Asgard like this? He is the master of the Nine Realms..."

"That's not really important, but you know what, these two princes are quite handsome..." Hill asked the Phantom Demon, one hand on her hip and the other holding binoculars, "Who do you think is more handsome? I still prefer Loki, Thor's kind of heartthrob..."

Hill shrugged and said, "Some people might like it, but it's not my cup of tea."

"I..." Phantom Demon didn't know how to answer. Hill thought she was shy, so she said, "I can sense that you're still more interested in Thor. Every time Thor is mentioned, you seem a little emotional. How about I introduce you two?"

"No need!" the Illusion Demon shouted.

Then, she muttered under her breath, "The God of Thunder Asgardian almost killed us all with a single bolt of lightning. Do you know him? Don't you want to get struck by lightning enough?"

"So you're afraid of him?"

"I don't!"

Suddenly, Hill put down his binoculars, rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the opposite window again through the binoculars, saying with some doubt, "Am I seeing things? It looks like the room across the street is on fire?"

The phantom had already covered Hill's body. She said, "You're not seeing things, it's on fire."

In an instant, Hill appeared outside Loki and Thor's apartment door. She knocked and said, "Hello, are you there? I saw your apartment is on fire!"

A loud noise came from inside the room. After a while, Thor opened the door, his face covered in soot. He wiped his face vigorously and said, "We're fine! We'll take care of it right away!"

Just then, another loud bang came from the kitchen. Thor turned around, then blocked Hill's view with his burly frame. He said, "Are you the neighbor? Um... we had a little accident while cooking, really, we'll fix it right away, trust me..."

Another loud bang, and thick smoke billowed from the kitchen. Loki was choked and coughed twice, then said to Tor standing in the doorway, "It's really on fire! Put it out quickly..."

Thor covered his eyes, Hill, standing by the door, pointed to the stairwell. "There are fire extinguishers there. Just turn them on and you can use them."

After the fire was extinguished, Hill was curious about what had happened, but she had no reason to stay, so she returned to her base to continue remote surveillance.

Less than an hour later, the glass in the opposite room shattered with a violent explosion, and thick black smoke billowed out of the room. Hill rushed downstairs.

Loki strode forward, his face blackened by the smoke, while Thor behind him was even worse, practically turning into a little black man.

Thor hysterically yelled at Loki, "Look what you've done!! You're the most incompetent Fire God I've ever seen!!! If you hadn't tried to light the gas stove with flames, it wouldn't have exploded..."

Amidst the blaring of fire sirens, Loki angrily retorted, "How should I know what happened??? Fire control is an innate ability of my divine duty. How should I know why the flames would uncontrollably burn through the pipes???"

"You've already messed up once before!" Thor emphasized, "But you still insist on doing it. Are you out of your mind?!"

Loki was so angry he laughed. He never imagined he would be mocked by Thor for being brainless. Just as the two of them were arguing, a firefighter in a firefighter's uniform walked over and said, "You two are the owners of the burning house. What is your relationship?"

Neither of them spoke. The firefighter glanced at them, gave them a strange look, and then took out a notebook to register them. "Regardless of your relationship, come with us to the police station now. This is a major fire incident that needs to be reported..."

As the two princes were being led onto the fire truck, Hill walked over, flashed his badge, and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. agent., please cooperate."

Twenty minutes later, in the S.H.I.E.L.D.. office, Natasha sat at the desk facing the two without looking up and asked, "Names?"

"Thor Odin's son," Thor said irritably.

"Loki Odin's son".

"Hey, you don't have the surname Odin's son! Only the eldest son of the God King can use the title Odin's son!"

"Can you shut up?" Loki touched his face and said fiercely to Thor, "I am a god now, you can't talk back to me!"

Natasha tapped the table and said expressionlessly, "Do you know that the gas explosion you caused in a densely populated luxury apartment building can now be classified as an act of terrorism by aliens?"

Loki gestured for Natasha to calm down, saying, "I can explain, here's what happened..."

Natasha One Hand her hand, giving Loki a look that said, "I'll see what you can come up with," as she listened to Loki speak.

"I have received the divine office of the God of Fire God. Of course, I know you humans don't understand how this divine office system works, but literally speaking, the Fire God should have the ability to control fire, right?"

After saying that, Loki realized how stupid his words had been, but seeing Natasha nod, he still said, "Human gas stoves are also lit with fire, right?"

Natasha nodded again.

Thor interrupted, "But your fire control is terrible! We just need a tiny flame to light the gas stove, and you've created a fireball bigger than the Fridge door..."

Loki completely ignored him and continued, "Theoretically speaking, the fire control ability that the god of Fire God possesses should be perfect."

"So?" Natasha looked up at him.

Loki opened his mouth, looking at Natasha's beautiful face. He felt that his next conclusion was indeed a bit embarrassing in front of such a beautiful woman.

"However, there is a slight gap between theory and reality..."

Natasha sighed, closed the file in front of her, and said, "The reason S.H.I.E.L.D.. tolerated Thor's stay on Earth was because he didn't have any superhuman powers, but you are different."

"I don't care whether you couldn't control your divine power or made a mistake in your spell, in short, you burned down human houses, frightened the surrounding residents, and wasted firefighting resources. In short, we have to deport you..."

"No! Wait!" Loki stood up and said, "I have a very important business deal this month! I just closed it yesterday and I'm going to meet the client soon. It's a big deal from Xinfu Bank, I can't just leave like this..."

Just then, Nick Fury pushed open the office door, smoking and holding a Crystal Ball. The other three stared at him. Nick coughed, exhaled a puff of black smoke, and said, "Putting everything else aside, can you guys in Asgard please not be so rough when you send packages?"

"Uh... were you struck by lightning?" Natasha asked.

"Don't ask obvious questions like Coulson."

Thor and Loki exchanged a glance. Loki said, "That's a fine quality of Asgard —simple, quick, and efficient, though a bit crude..."

Natasha walked over to Nick handed her the Crystal Ball and then looked at Loki, saying, "Since your father has already paid the custody fees, we can temporarily let bygones be bygones for the trouble you've caused, but you must promise us that it won't happen again."

Loki raised his hands and said, "I will no longer use the power of Fire God."

Natasha asked with some doubt, "You're not only capable of that Fire God ability, and besides, after a fire starts, can't you use your kind of magic to put it out?"

"I don't know what happened either." Loki turned to look at the side, somewhat puzzled, and said, "I can't control the fireballs I create, and I also have some... well, some..."

Thor looked at his brother's expression and grinned, saying, "You're not... afraid of fire, are you?"

Just to clarify, the author isn't a full-time writer. I have other work in the mornings, and sometimes I'm quite busy in the mornings, so my writing time in the afternoons will be delayed, and updates will be later. I usually announce the update time adjustment in the group chat. If you find it hard to wait, you can join the group.
