Chapter 2- Revelations
Hans Westerguard sat at his desk, two of his best allies in front of him. He had sent them to find something that had been stolen from him, but they had come back empty handed, and one of their teammates was dead. "So you didn't get the driver back?"
"No Hans," the man to the left of him replied. "Sven had insisted he take them out on his own, and we let him do so."
"Well, Sven is now in little itty-bitty pieces in the harbour because of his insistence," Hans reminded him of his comrades demise.
"With all due respect Hans, we didn't think that the queen would have been able to use the driver," the man to the right of Hans said.
"You have a point there Kristoff," Hans put his hands together, "but if we are to complete our goal we need to recover that device."
"Well, we did see a girl with the queen in that coffee shop we blew up," the other man said. "Maybe if we track her down, we'll find the driver."
"Good idea Flynn," Hans commented, "but we must do this delicately."
"Why?!" Flynn exclaimed. "I kinda liked it when we used the bazooka, we can't do delicate stuff with a bazooka."
"For your information Mr. Rider," Hans sternly replied, "we are trying to keep this situation to a minimum right now after your little destructive rampage last night, now get out of here."
"Very well," Flynn agreed, walking out of the room.
For a moment there was a bit of silence, until Kristoff turned to Hans. "You were a bit hard on him, Hans."
"I know I was, but you have to be hard on guys like him," Hans justified. "Give them an inch and they'll probably put a bullet in your throat."
"Still, it was a bit harsh on the guy. After all, it was Sven's fault our mission went the way it did," Kristoff tried to reason with him.
Hans sighed. "I know you're upset about Sven, and trust me I'm upset too, but if we are to make the world a better place for our people, we need to stick together and trust each other." He reached out and held his hand. "Do you trust me?"
"Of course Hans," Kristoff replied, giving him a kiss. "With all my heart. Just be easy on Flynn next time ok?"
"I promise you I will," Hans assured him. "Good, so don't forget about tomorrow night."
"I don't intend to," Kristoff said. "Now I'm gonna go sort some things out with Flynn." Hans smiled at him as he left the room.
A smile curved on Hans's face and he touched the call button on his desk. "Mrs Sato, I need you to do something for me."
"Anything you want sir," the secretary on the end of the phone replied.
"I need you to look into the owner of the coffee shop my men destroyed last night," Hans instructed.
"Certainly sir, I'll do that for you right now," Mrs Sato replied happily. "Oh and sir, all the arrangements for you and Mr Bjorgman's little occasion have been made."
"Good work my dear, and do you remember your little part in the event?" her boss asked her.
"Yes of course sir, my wife and I will happily be there for you and Mr Bjorgman," his secretary answered.
"Thank you my dear," Hans said, ending the call. He turned around and looked out of his office window, seeing the city of Arendelle in all its glory. He smiled and pondered his next move. "Soon, very soon it will all be mine."

Rapunzel Corona paced up and down her apartment. Just a few hours ago she had seen on the news about her father's coffee shop having been burnt down and was now worried sick about its current owner, her best friend Anna. Part of her didn't want to accept that her friend was dead and hoped she would return. Suddenly, there was a loud knocking sound at the door, although it sounded more like a kicking than a knock. Rapunzel opened the door to a very unusual surprise.
"Hey Punz," a very weary Anna said. Her clothes looked torn and her face looked black with soot. She was carrying an unconscious woman in her arms.
"Where the fucksy fuck have you been?!" Rapunzel demanded. "And what the hell happened to the coffee place?!"
"One thing at a time Punz," Anna groaned. "This girl is heavy."
Rapunzel sighed and let her in the apartment, and Anna laid her sleeping companion on the sofa. Rapunzel looked at the woman on the couch, immediately recognising her. "Is that?!"
"The queen, yeah."
"What is she doing here? How did you find her?"
"She came into my coffee shop, saved my life and is having a nap."
"Did she blow up the coffee shop?"
"No, some guys with a bazooka."
"WHAT?!"
"And one of them could turn into a bull-monster."
"ARE YOU HIGH?!"
"No." Anna sat on a chair. "Can we not argue right now? I'm so worn out."
"I'm surprised you haven't been blown to bits," Rapunzel replied.
"Well if Elsa hadn't saved my ass, I'd be in a million bits," Anna complimented her saviour. They both looked at the sleeping platinum blonde on the couch in front of them. "I hope she wakes up soon." She smiled at Elsa and looked at her hands. "Do you think your dad's insurance will cover total destruction," she joked.
"Probably for the best we don't tell him about it," Rapunzel giggled." Anyway, I'll get our guest a blanket."
Anna smiled as Rapunzel went into the next room and looked at the sleeping beauty. She looked so beautiful up close. Her soft pale cheeks. Her ruby red lips curled into a smile and her angelic platinum blonde hair resting on her head. Anna felt a warm feeling in her heart. However she had more important things to deal with. She heard a slight murmuring from Elsa. "Rise and shine, Queenie"
"A-Anna," Elsa said weakly, her blue eye's opening very softly. "Where am I?"
"My apartment, I brought you here after your magic belt thing knocked you out like a light," Anna replied.
"Did that monster die?" the queen asked.
"Oh yeah, he went kaboom into the harbour," Anna answered.
Elsa looked down a bit, "I didn't want to kill him."
"You had no choice, it was either him or us," Anna comforted her.
Elsa sighed. "I should get out of here, I'm more of a danger to you if they find me here."
Anna smiled. "No way Elsa, I gotta keep you safe." She held her hand and gave her a look of happiness. "Besides, you look like you could use a latte."
Elsa smiled but looked down at her chest. "That thing was probably human once."
"What do you mean probably human?" Anna asked, "because that thing was clearly not human."
"I think it's best I told you the whole story Anna," Elsa said, knowing that she wasn't going to get rid of the strawberry blonde girl who kept her safe.
"It's about damn time too," Anna happily replied. "So how did this all start?"
"Well, it all started when I was invited by Mr. Hans Westerguard for a tour of his building," Elsa began.
"Hans Westerguard? As in THE Hans Westeguard, the real life Tony Stark? Tech mogul extraordinaire?" Anna said surprised.
"Yes that guy, only he doesn't have Tony's beard," Elsa explained. "He was showing me around his building when I noticed something odd."
"What was that?" Anna asked curiously.
"I saw some of his R&D guys working on this," she patted the device on her belt. "Hans brushed it off as some new tech they were making, but a girl like me can smell a liar from a mile away."
"So you decided to do a little sneaking around in his lab?" Anna stated.
"Correct," Elsa replied. "I decided to sneak out from a rather boring royal dinner to conduct a personal investigation into Hans's affairs."
"That was the party the news said you were last seen," Anna realised.
"Yep," Elsa confirmed. "Anyway, I snuck into his lab and stole this belt, or driver as he called it."
"What exactly is it?" Anna asked.
"From what I gather it's the prototype for the armour those thugs were using," Elsa replied. "I think that's why it knocked me out."
"What about the monster things?" Anna asked again.
"I think they are some genetics crap gone wrong."
"So what's with the ice powers then?"Anna was curious. If it was possible for her to explain monsters and a super belt, surely magic ice powers would be a doddle for Elsa. Unfortunately, it was not.
"That's a bit complicated," Elsa answered. "You see, I don't know where my powers come from, only that I was born with them. I'm sorry if that disappoints you Anna."
"It doesn't really," Anna chirped, "but I kinda was expecting you to have been bitten by a radioactive snowflake."
Elsa giggled. "You should have been a comedian Anna, it would pay a lot more than being a waitress in a coffee shop."
"Nah, I'm more of a tragedy girl," Anna smiled happily and stroked Elsa's forehead. "At least your fever's gone down."
The two of them smiled when Rapunzel returned, holding a blanket. "Oh she's awake." She looked at them with a bit of embarrassment.
"I'm sorry if i disturbed you, my queen."
"Can you not call me 'my queen'?" Elsa complained. "I get most of my advisers giving me that crap anyway."
Anna giggled slightly, "It's ok Punz, I think that was her way of saying thank you."
"Well, I'll leave you two alone. I gotta head to work in a bit." Rapunzel told them as she put on her coat. "I'll be back around 2 ok?"
"Sure Punz," Anna replied as Rapunzel left the room. She turned her head and saw that Elsa was trying to get up. "Hey hey whoa, you take it easy."
"I feel fine Anna," Elsa weakly said. "Don't worry."
"Ok your majesty, if you insist," Anna agreed.
"Do you have any chocolate, like any white chocolate? Because I love that," Elsa asked.
Anna eyes widened, "You bet your royal ass I have white chocolate. I love it too."
Elsa smirked, "Then as a royal command from me, I order you to get me some white chocolate."
Anna smiled, "Your wish is my command your majesty."
