I came down the stairs to see, to nobody's surprise, stuff being thrown around like crazy. Scorch marks on the wall, furniture in splinters, holes in walls, you get it. I rolled my eyes, grabbed my megaphone, turned it on, and yelled into it.
"HEY, KNUCKLEHEADS!" The two brawling individuals immediately stopped, covering their ears. "I INVITED BOTH OF YOU! NOW IF YOU COULD STOP WRECKING EVERYTHING, CAN WE ACTUALLY HAVE A CIVIL DAY FOR ONCE!?" My younger brother said... something. I removed the noise-canceling headphones I'd put on as I turned off the megaphone. "Sorry, what?"
"Do you have to make that so loud?"
"Yes, I do. It's the only reliable way I have to stun both of you for long enough to knock sense into your heads. She made her gear EMP-resistant two months back, and your super-strength isn't getting any weaker." He looked around with a somewhat guilty expression.
"...Yeah, sorry about that." I waved my hand, dismissing the matter.
"You're both at fault for that. Besides, I made sure to send the invitation here. Sure, I own the property, but I don't live here. Least I can give some people around here a job to get it looking good again."
"Why'd you call us here, anyway?" That was my younger sister. "No offence or anything, but I do have some stuff I need to get back to. I can't trust my henchmen with anything nowadays."
"Well I've been out and about doing stuff, and I wanted to see you guys again."
"We have cellphones," she pointed out.
"Well I wanted to see your faces, A, and B, I wanted to go do stuff together. When was the last time we actually took a day to goof off with each other?"
"When we're in the middle of a big feud?" My brother and sister glared at me, and I sighed.
"Yes. There's more to life than just fighting each other endlessly. I know you guys both have secret identities. Just take a day or two off so we can have some fun while I'm in town." The two still seemed doubtful. "Don't make me pull the "big sister" card on you two."
