Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2 , chapter 3

Chapter 4

An: sorry this one is short. Haz and reader finally meet though, so that’s something! next part will be longer, i promise.

Burning. Scorching pain was all Harrison felt. His heart was pounding, either from the terror filled dream he had just left or from the pain, he couldn't tell. Someone was groaning somewhere in the room and It took him a second to realize it was him.

From the sterile smell of chemicals in the air and the very medical looking try beside his bed the part of Harrison that was conscious and sane realized he was in some kind of hospital.

But where? . .this obviously isn't Asgard.

Squeezing his eyes shut he tried to conjure any memories of what had happened and how he got here. . .but there wasn't much. Just a disjointed image of the throne room full of gods laughing and cheering at him, then a pain between his shoulder blades and blackness.

It makes no sense! . . .but I have bigger things to worry about.

Frantically his eyes roved the room, trying desperately to see anything that could tell him where he was but there wasn't much there either. He could see a blank black rocky wall that suggested somewhere underground, but that didn't tell him a lot. It could still be nearly any of the nine world's and the bookcase full of books wasn't very useful. Mostly because the spines were too far away to detect what language they were written in.

Suddenly Harrison heard steps approaching. Without even thinking he surveyed his surroundings again and once more came up with nothing.

Not a single thing in reach to help me defend myself. Just my luck.

A second of thought did away with the possibility of pretending to sleep. Whoever it was had obviously heard him so there was no use faking. The only thing to do was to wait and meet whoever was coming.

A gorgeous lady in a midnight black dress rounded the corner. The dark crown glinting on her head kept him from making the mistake of Calling her a nurse or matron, but he hardly noticed it. The fact that she looked half dead was more than a bit distracting.

Next to her E/C eye a dull lifeless white one glimmered and the one side of her body looked blackened as though it was dead and rotting away before his eyes.

Harrison tried to keep the horror out of his eyes and not flinch away but he saw in her face that she had seen it anyway, seen it and accepted it as though it was to be expected and she got it everyday.

Probably because she does, you twat.

He immediately felt guilty and looked down, pretending to nod in greeting, masking his regret as a sign of respect.

"My lady."

She nodded back, lips still pursed.

"Your highness. We are honored to have you with us."

"Thank you," Harrison shifted and cleared his throat, "but where exactly is here? Do you know what happened?"

"I don't. All I know is that my border guard found you and brought you to me as you are, and I was hoping you could tell me why you're down here."

She sank down in a chair with a sigh. "But of course it wouldn't be that easy.He'd make sure it wasn't."

She seemed to be talking more to herself than to him, but Harrison spoke up anyway.

"Him? Him, who?"

The Queen went on like she hadn't heard him.

"I can at least tell you where you are though. You died somehow and came to my realm, Helheim."

It suddenly seemed like there was no air in the room.

"H-helheim. So you must be?"

Hel nodded, her face screwing up in even more displeasure before she stood and gave him a mocking curtsey that seemed to make more fun of herself than of Harrison.

"Yes I'm Hel, daughter of Loki and the giantess Angerboda and ruler of the Underworld. Welcome."

"Thanks." Harrison chuckled dryly. "I feel all comfy and cozy now."

Her lip lifted slightly, letting a smile flicker across her face for a second before it was gone and she was examining him intently, as though he was an interesting pile of bones or the next person on her torture list and she was deciding how to play with him.

"You seem to be taking this very well, Odinson."

Harrison raised an eyebrow. "And you thought I'd be cowering and weak? Is that how you wanted me?”

The instant the words were out he knew he'd made a mistake. The pain and anger in her eyes hurt him more than his wound ever had as she stared him down with her unnerving mismatched eyes, lips pressed into the grimmest line yet.

"I am not my father."

Harrison felt the need to point out that wasn't really an answer but, it was answer enough for him so he just nodded awkwardly again and risked a glance at her.

"I know, my apologies. You're not Loki any more than I'm Odin."

The few stringy H/C hairs bounced with the full luscious locks on the other side.

The silence dragged on as Harrison found himself examining her again. Try as he might, Harrison couldn't get over her appearance. Half of the queen’s face was flawless skin, gorgeous H/C hair and a deeply stunning E/C eye. If he had seen only that side facing him he would have thought without doubt that she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen and cower. . . obviously the inheritance of her father, Loki, who was indisputably handsome among the gods.

The other side made her seem like an exhumed body. Blackened wrinkled rotting flesh led him up till he was gazing once more into the lifeless glazed white eye. Only a few of the H/C hairs cling on stubbornly, as though they refused to be decomposed with the rest.

I have no idea which side is worse. . .

Hel cleared her throat and spoke suddenly.

"You will find that you are well known and loved here as you were everywhere else. We are honored to have you. So, as Asgard and Midgard grieve, we will hold a celebration for your arrival. As soon as you are well enough for it, I will hold a feast in your honor to welcome you properly."

Harrison's mind started racing and his brow furrowed. Unfortunately his confusion didn't go unnoticed.

Hel's forehead furrowed as she looked at him

"What's wrong? You're not pleased with that?"

"What? No! thank you, I'm glad to hear that and eagerly looking forward to it. . . But, I'm. I'm just--surprised.

"Why?"

Her half blank stare bored into his blue eyes, clearly issuing a challenge.

She wants me to say it. Fine, I will. Nothing less than she deserves after everything.

"Well it's just. . .my father was the one to condemn your brothers. He sent you here. So. . ." He trailed off, not quite sure how to end and not daring to say the words.

"So you would expect me to torture you for all eternity sooner than honor you and give you comfort."

Harrison tried to speak but really, what words could he say after that? It was true, but she seemed to be expecting an answer anyway so he simply nodded.

"As you said, you are not Odin, and I am not Loki."

Hel stood, nodded to him once more and walked off without waiting for another word, and Harrison found himself staring after her.

Yes, I think I'm beginning to understand that. . .
