Gonna change some things regarding canon with the Zeus familia. You'll see what I mean in a second.

Alise POV

I opened the door to Bell's hospital room. A small part of me hoped Bell was awake, but that hope was snuffed out seeing him still asleep. I let out a sad sigh as I frowned and took a seat next to him. It had been about a month since Bell had his fight with Alfia, and not much had happened since then.

The city's been unusually quiet as evilus hadn't made any moves since Alfia revealed she was alive.

Regis poked his head up from next to Bell. "You've been visiting a lot. Something you want to tell me," he joked.

I smiled at his attempt at humor. Regis was probably worried the most about Bell since the two were practically best friends.

I shook my head. "You say that joke every time I visit Regis."

Regis laid his head on Bell's leg. He hadn't grown any skinnier as the mana circulation through his body kept his muscles from losing their strength. So at least he wouldn't lose all his strength when he woke up.

"So what story are you gonna tell him this time," Regis asked.

I smiled as I shook my head. "No story today, just some news."

Regis's ears perked up. "Ooh, juicy gossip, spill it, sister."

I rolled my eyes as I leaned forward a little grabbing his hand in the meantime. "We're going on an expedition, the Loki familia is joining us, and we're aiming for floor 61 this time. I know this is nothing compared to the Zeus and Hera familia reaching floor 83. But hey, we don't have a Leywin with us."

Saying his last name caused me to sigh as I looked at his sleeping face. We would have a lot to talk about when he woke up.

I blinked as I slowly looked back at the end of the bed. "But yeah, an expedition, yay. Then after that, the Astraea familia will have a small training one sometime after so we'll be really busy. So be awake by then, Bell. Ok"

I looked at his sleeping face, seeing his eyes still closed and his face unmoving. Right before I was about to let go of his hand, it squeezed mine.

I felt a smile spread to my face knowing he wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Regis then stood up and used aether to make an arm and gave me a mock salute. "Do well on your expedition, redhead."

I rolled my eyes as a smile appeared on my face. "We will. Next time I'll ask Bell if he wants to join us."

I then moved Bell's hair out of his face before opening the door to his hospital room. I took one final look at him and walked away. Something tells me he'll be awake when we get back.

Allen POV

I opened the window to Bell's hospital room and climbed in. It was night, and the hospital was quiet. As I was shutting the window, I heard a familiar voice.

"Was wondering when you were gonna visit," his dog joked.

My body turned around to face him as I leaned against the wall. "Been busy"

I could feel the dog roll his eyes. "Sure, totally busy."

I snarled at the dog. "Something you want to say"

The dog chuckled. "What's there to say? You abandoned your sister all for the whims of a goddess who cares little for you. You bend over backwards to do her every beck and command like a good little dog. Oh, wait."

I gritted my teeth in anger. "You don't know anything."

Regis scoffed. "I know you became a piece of shit since the last time we saw you. Hell, if Anya didn't stop us, I would've kicked your ass to knock some sense into you."

I growled at the dog but knew I could do nothing against him in a fight. Regis knew this as well.

"Now then, what's the reason for your visit, Allen" Regis asked.

I let out a sigh feeling the anger leave me as I answered. "I wanted to see if the kid was alright."

The dog's head perked up. "Your goddess tell you to do that."

I shook my head. "No, she didn't. I just wanted to make sure he was alive. I owe him that much, at least."

Regis nodded his head. "Well, he's decided to take a really long nap. Don't know when his dumbass will wake up."

I picked my head up and looked at the dog. "Is it true? Did his aunt do this"

Regis nodded his head. "Yeah, yeah, she did."

I clicked my tongue. "I don't remember seeing her at the cabin."

"She appeared right after you left, and that was when Bell's childhood ended," he explained.

I gritted my teeth in anger. "So that bitch ruined his childhood and then tried to kill him. For what reason."

Regis made a gesture similar to that of shrugging his shoulders. "Don't know, all I know is she didn't want to kill him. Otherwise, he would be dead."

I was confused. "Wait, so she nearly killed him but didn't but could have. Then what was the point in all this."

Regis shook his head. "Couldn't tell ya."

We sat in silence for a few minutes before I pushed myself off the wall. "I better head back, before my goddess realizes I'm gone."

Before I could open the window again, Regis called out to me. "You need to choose a side, Allen. Conflict between Freya and Bell will happen soon. Know what side you're in before it all goes down."

I didn't say anything to respond to him. Instead, I just opened the window and left.

Aisha POV

Bell still hasn't woken up yet. I was starting to worry about what I would do if he didn't. This was the man I wanted to start a family with, and here he was, unconscious in a hospital.

I looked at his face and saw the small amount of stubble on his chin. How would he look with a beard? Would he look more handsome or ruggedly handsome?

I frowned as I put my face down on his bed. His scent filled my nose, as I could do nothing but wait. It had been how long since the fight? A month? A month and a half? Would he ever wake up?

I could feel some tears well up in my eyes and struggled to push them back. "Bell, I don't know if you can hear me, but if you have to go, it's ok. Everyone will be fine. I'll be fine. So if it's your time to go, you can go."

I sat there a few minutes, tears leaking out of my eyes, but I didn't sob. I wouldn't sob.

Or that's what I would've thought until I felt a shaky hand pat me on the head. My eyes shot open as my head flew up in surprise. Bell's right hand was shaking due to his nerve damage, yet he was patting my head.

I looked at his face and saw his ruby-red eyes staring at me with a slight smile on his face. "Aisha…don't cry…I'm right here," he weakly said, his voice raspy.

I quickly shot to my feet and ran to the door flinging it open. "NURSE!" I shouted.

Bell POV Before he woke up

Grandpa and I were sitting down in the living room in front of the fireplace. My training had been completed, and I now fully understood my lightning.

"It's time to go back, Bell," my grandpa told me.

I sighed as I leaned back into my chair. "I know, but I'm scared."

Grandpa turned his head to look at me. "Scared about what."

I looked down at the floor, a frown on my face. "I'm scared I'll fail. I have all these people counting on me. I'm scared I'll fail them."

I felt a strong arm clap my shoulder. "Failure's a part of life, Bell, so what if you fail? Will you get up and try again" I nodded my head. "Then you haven't quit. As long as you get back up, you haven't really lost."

I sat there in thought for a second before looking him in the eyes. "Grandpa, what do I do about Alfia"

He sighed as he let go of my shoulder. "What do you think is best for the situation."

I knew what I had to do, but I didn't want to do it. "Killing her is the obvious choice, but I don't want to kill her. She at least loved me a little bit. Right?"

Grandpa gave me a look that told me I already knew the answer.

I scoffed. "Right, who am I kidding? Let's not kid ourselves here."

Grandpa frowned as he wrapped me in a side hug. "I'm sorry she wasn't the mother figure you were hoping for, and I'm sorry I didn't do a better job at raising you."

I shook my head. "You did a good job. I know you weren't ready to raise me when my mom asked you to, but you stepped up and did a good enough job. Unlike your wife."

Grandpa let out a sad sigh. "Let's not talk about Hera. I don't know what came over her, but I don't want to talk about her."

"Well, she's in Athens right now trying to rebuild. I could go and ask her for answers," I mentioned.

Grandpa let out another long sigh looking at the fireplace. "If that's what you want to do, go for it. Just remember to keep a cool head when you do."

I let out a chuckle before taking a deep breath. "Well, I guess it's time to go back then, right?"

We both stood up with Grandpa giving me a hug. "Yeah, it's time, remember Bell. No matter what, I will always love you."

I nodded my head in his chest. "I know, Grandpa, I know."

Breaking the hug, I took a few steps back and looked at Grandpa as he smiled at me. "You really have grown so much, Bell. Your mother would be proud of you."

Feeling a few tears well up in my eyes, I nodded my head. "I'll try not to disappoint her then. Goodbye, Grandpa."

He ruffled my hair and patted me on the back before pushing me towards the door. "See you later, Bell."

Turning around, I went to the entrance of the cabin and opened the door. I walked through it, and a bright white light blinded me for a second before I opened my eyes.

When I did, I could see a white ceiling above me and felt a weight to my left. I slowly moved my head and saw Aisha with her face down on my bed, crying. Not wanting to see her cry, I tried to call out to her, but my voice wouldn't work. So I lifted my right hand up, feeling it heavy and shaky, but I was able to move it.

I patted Aisha on the head in an attempt to comfort her. Her head shot up, her eyes wide with surprise. Trying to speak once again, I was able to find my voice and speak. "Aisha…don't cry…I'm right here," I weakly said.

She quickly shot up to her feet and ran towards the door. Once she flung the thing open, she called for a nurse. However, a nurse didn't come in, but Airmid did.

Her pace was a quick one as she heard the urgency in Aisha's voice. When she was about to ask what was wrong, she saw me awake and quickly came into the room.

For the next couple of minutes, she did some routine checks on me, like taking my blood pressure, and asking me to try and push and pull her hands to see if I could move them. She recited some numbers to me and told me to say them back.

I'm guessing I passed all her tests because she looked relieved after she had finished. Before I could ask any more questions, a straw was put in front of my face. I turned my head to the side a little and put the straw in my mouth, taking a sip of water. The water felt amazing on my dry throat. Which I didn't even realize til now was dry.

After a minute, the cup was empty and was pulled back. I heard a clink as the cup was set back down on a table next to me. Before I could say another word, Aisha kissed me on the lips. It caught me off guard initially, but I returned it until Airmid cleared her throat.

"While I'm glad you're awake, save that stuff for when you're out of my hospital," she sternly told us.

I let out a small chuckle before coughing a little. "Sorry about that"

"Damn kid, not even awake five minutes, and you're already trying to get some," Regis joked.

I coughed a little again as I attempted to laugh again. "Don't make me laugh. It hurts you, mutt."

"Call me a mutt again, and I'll put you in another coma," he bit back.

I rolled my eyes. "Knowing your aim, you'd miss."

I heard him let out a laugh before he jumped off the bed. "I'll go and let everyone know you're awake. Come on, Airmid, let's leave the two lovebirds alone."

He stopped and looked back at her. "Unless you want to join in, that is. I know Aisha would welcome the company."

Airmid flushed red in embarrassment as she hurriedly followed Regis out of the room. Once the door shut, Aisha climbed into the bed and cuddled up next to me.

I weakly turned my head and looked at her, a smile on my face. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."

I felt her hold me a little tighter. "You had me so worried, you asshole."

I raised my right hand up again to put it on my back. It was still shaky but less heavy than it was before. "I'm sorry. You can take your anger out on me when I get out of the hospital."

Aisha lifted her head and looked up at me. "Trust me. I will. You have me so pent up."

I nervously chuckled, knowing full well the danger I was in. But none of it mattered. I was back home where I belonged.

Yeah, I feel like this chapter was kinda mid compared to my other ones, but hey, I didn't really know how else to write this, and I didn't want to keep Bell in a coma for too long. But I did want him gone for a couple of chapters to give the others a chance to grow.

But now that Bell's awake, it's time for the Airmid arc to happen. Won't say what's gonna happen, but there'll be some fights.

Also, I got this question on about if Bell would like make his dragon blood more pure like a cultivation manwha, and no, he won't because there's no way he can really do that unless a dragon gives him their blood.

I was also asked if Bell would get his Asuran body after his fight with Alfia, and no, he won't. I have a plan for how he's going to get it, but it won't be for a while.

Well, that's those questions answered, but before I go, I also have an announcement to make.

I made a new story called the spectacular Bell that already has two chapters, and it's where Bell becomes Spider-Man. Did I get the idea because of the new Spider-Man movie? Yes, yes, I did.
