That Look (Hiccup x Reader)

90: The Return of Thor Bonecrusher

"Urg, perimeter check." I sighed and slumped back on Spike as we flew alongside Snotlout and Hookfang.

"Tell me about it." Snotlout rolled his eyes. "I thought you said setting things on fire would take us off perimeter check, not doing it three times a day plus cleaning up what we destroyed."

"Alas, my genius is just too much for the simpletons to follow the path I have set for them." I explained and then spotted a boat "Boat."

"Hm. Yeah, I see 'em." Snotlout said, looking through a spyglass and smirking. "What do we say we go introduce ourselves?"

"I'd rather not." I replied only to watch as the Monstrous Nightmare dove and almost hit us with its wing.

"Comin' in hot!"

"Why me," I groaned and Spike dove, landing next to Hookfang on the dock.

"Well, hello, ladies. What brings you to- HUH?!" Snotlout let out a shriek as the 'women' turned around, revealing themselves to be Outcast men wearing long blonde wigs. "That is false advertisement."

"Sorry, we couldn't risk being seen." One of them said.

"Besides, we rather like the look." The other said and twirled his hair.

"Understandable, you do look fabulous." I agreed.

"What are you Outcasts doing on Dragon's Edge?" Snotlout asked, actually asking an important question whilst I was distracted by the hair.

"Alvin has been kidnapped by a group of bandits." One told us.

"Alvin?" I said confused. "I thought we turned that man into a smoked salmon?"

"We've tried everything to get him back, paying ransom after ransom, but nothing works and we fear for his life." The Outcast continued, ignoring my comment.

"We're desperate. We need someone with the power, strength and charisma to return our morale and our Chief." The other explained. "Someone like-"

"Thor. Thor Bonecrusher." They said and pointed to Fishlegs who was at his hut, carrying rocks of which he then tripped over.

"Riiiiiight......" I said skeptically.

We had gathered the riders in the clubhouse and Snotlout was recounting what had happened.

"I couldn't believe it either. I guess they heard of his exploits on Berk, his 'heroic acts of unparalleled bravery,' and are convinced that he's the only one who can go up against these bandits." He laughed and shook his head. "No way."

"They don't want our help?" Hiccup asked, confused.

"Yeah. I mean, they won't risk bringing in dragon riders, because these bandits seem to be on edge. Hair-trigger stuff. They might just see us and kill Alvin on the spot." Snotlout explained.

"Heh." The twins shrugged, not really caring if Alvin got killed again.

"They got 'em pretty freaked out. But there is one brave man who could really rally those Outcasts and run point in getting Alvin back." Snotlout grinned and pointed to Fishlegs. "Big props to TB."

"Tuberculosis?" I questioned, now confused.

"Oh, for Thor's sake." Hiccup sighed.

"Well, I think if they need Thor Bonecrusher, we should call on him, right?" Fishlegs suggested nervously.

"Great idea, Fishface!" Snotlout beamed.

"Terrible idea, Snotlout!" Hiccup retorted. "Bringing Thor back is way too dangerous. For you included."
