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."
