Since doing their impromptu runner they have been sleeping rough, in the car, without a change of clothes, or money, or toothbrushes, or, indeed, any of the necessities of life. We find Axl and Gaia parked up beside a beach. In this way the Johnson learn they are not the only deities in town. In fact, Gaia is feeling right at home because it transpires that the bad men who kidnapped her - and who go by the names Jerome, George and Leon - are actually Gods, Maori Gods: Maui, Punga and Rongo. The trail leads Axl, Mike, Bryn and Michele to an unremarkable suburban house, where they find that Gaia is far from being in danger or even held against her will.
As Axl has to deal with Derrick trying to kill Bryn, Gaia takes her opportunity to slip out her bedroom window (again) and make a bid for freedom. Axl tries again to convince Gaia, this time on a personal level, but the arrival of Thor/Derrick at the house does not help matters. In fact, she is openly mocking Axl and Bryn. Picking up from where we left off, Gaia is still not getting her head round the idea that she is Frigg. Then, before Axl can get to the bottom of that a very large man kicks the door down, demanding to know where 'the girl' is. But before Axl can get to the bottom of this Bryn and Jacob barge in, demanding that Gaia come with them now. She has also phoned in to quit her job, for reasons even she's not entirely clear of. The day gets off to a strange beginning, as Axl wakes to find Gaia shifting furniture, in response to a dream she had about the perfect furniture arrangement for the flat. Not exactly a lot of happiness in God-world, as both Axl and Michele are suffering from some kind of lurgi, while Anders is just generally unhappy with the lot of them. When Danny and Ingrid commence making love on the backseat of his car Axl really regrets being a nice guy. Despite her assurances it won't take long Axl then finds himself, with Ingrid, waiting in the middle of nowhere, where it transpires that Danny - an ex-psych nurse/lover of Ingrid's - is just being released from prison. Ingrid needs someone to take her to pick up someone named Danny, from an as-yet-to-be-disclosed location.
And Ty most definitely knows this was an attempt on his life - one he's been expecting.Īxl's good nature is being taken advantage of as Ty palms Ingrid off on him.
Later, to a panicked Ingrid, Ty - singed but very much alive - reveals one of the benefits of running cold - the ability to fight fire with ice. As Colin walks round Ty's bed, flames spring up behind him, and by the time his work is done, Ty sleeps on, surrounded by walls of fire. The next morning 'Axl' awakes to find that 'he' is still wearing the dress, but some kind of Godly transformation has taken place and 'he' is now a she: a tall, blonde, very attractive woman.Īs Ty sleeps soundly in his bed, Colin stands over him, speaking in Old Norse. But he is very soon made aware of the fact he is not alone in the house.Īxl, Zeb and Gaia stumble in, drunk, returning home from a Pimps 'n' Ho's party. Zeb is much keener than Axl on the idea of a Johnson party - but not as keen as Gaia, who seems a changed woman since her mysterious (and as yet unexplained, to the boys) return.
It all begins with Axl Johnson's 21st birthday after learning he is the incarnation of Odin, begins a quest to find the reincarnation of Odin's wife Frigg in order to restore all of the reincarnates powers, but along with his brothers is hindered by other problems in love.The Johnsons find there is no such thing as a mother's unconditional love.Īxl is taken to school Ty is scarred for life.Ī party is in the offing in the world of the Johnsons: allegedly just a few quiet drinks to celebrate Mike's new bar. Well, not yet - but that could all change soon. Sort of - it's just that their powers aren't actually all that powerful. They even have their own super-God-powers. Four brothers, raised in heartland New Zealand, also happen to be the living incarnations of Norse Gods.
