xeniakin, 'cause she demanded Mighty Max fic.
"So what miracle do I need to pull off today?"
The cap on Max's head started giving off a red glow as Virgil led him toward the swingset. "It seems," the talking chicken (fowl, Max corrected himself, in a mental voice that sounded rather too much like Virgil's for comfort) explained, "that someone is attempting a breakout from the Underworld. Should they succeed, the resulting rip in the fabric of reality would allow Skullmaster to escape as well! And should he be set loose on the world-"
"It's the end of the world as we know it, and I'm guessing I wouldn't be feeling so fine," Max finished for him. "Right, right." He paused the conversation long enough to jump over a swing and come out in somewhere that bore no resemblance whatsoever to the suburban playground. "Nice decorating - if you're the Addams family. And by Underworld, you would mean...?"
"The land of the dead!"
"Okay, I should've known that. Well, no way this can go wrong." He paused. "Hey, Verg? This guy planning a breakout. He wouldn't happen to be... oh, what's the word I'm searching for here... huge? Carrying an axe? Scary as hell?"
"Well, yes."
"Aren't they always."
Huge scary-as-hell axe-wielder scowled at the uninvited guests - a scowl which turned into a grin wide enough to split the bearded face in half. Max ducked as the giant lunged towards him and tackled Norman to the ground.
The giant let out a roar - which, Max realized after a second, was actually a word. 'I kill you?' No, wait - 'Enkidu?' Well, whatever he'd said, Norman had managed to get on top and had the guy in a headlock. ...and was giving him a noogie. Well, that was a new tactic.
"GILGAMESH!" Norman roared back, grinning just as wide. Granted, Norman had always liked a good fight, but the big guy really sounded happy. He let the giant up and clapped him on the back. "They call me Norman now, actually."
