"I remember little, Freyr. I was wounded somehow. It’s still unclear how or why, but this man," Ægir motioned to himself, "he knows nothing of the first thirty years of his life. He’s so petty, but with an unbelievable mettle. It’s what’s got him so far." He swallowed, "He’s had my help, of course, and I’m in no position to ask it, but I was wondering if I could have yours."
"Just tell me what I’m missing. What happened, how it’s all managed to regress into this."
The spark in his eyes, ignited them an ice blue as the god in Felix took recognition of his fellow Norse, fists clenching at his sides as he watched the gentleman with a weary but guarded gaze. At the same time, he felt no threat posed by the other man, more a fine mist of resentment from his mortal layered with his own distrust. “Then surely you should’ve chosen a more effective vessel … one with memories intact who wasn’t such a mess.” His hand moved, indicating the scars and bruises the man was litered with.
A smirk crossed his featured as he watched the other god ask for his help. It was satisfying he had to admit to see someone so powerful at a loss. “And you come to ask for help .. thats all .. I’m expect some catch here Ægir. But I suppose we could help, though Felix is quite put out by this.”
Felix gruffy mumbled under his breath, drinking deeply from his cup and glancing at the rain outside. "Some people need to ssimply learn to shut up." He glanced around. "At least business round here hasn't changed too much even with the last few months.."
Felix pulled a face, returning his gaze to the cup he was nursing. "It's fin e.. just spouting shit like that .. people need to be careful. It's not like we need reminding of how much has been lost .."
"Healing thanks to the saint I call my sister. Oh wait no, I'm sure you've forgotten her too. What do you want from me?" Glaring, Felix stood straighter, his hackled up. He didn't trust this man in anyway, shape or form.
Felix Harrison | Age: 25 | Job: Worker at UBC Botanical Gardens | FC: Leonardo DiCaprio | TAKEN
Biography: Felix has loved plants since the moment his parents took him to the park as a child and he’s dedicated his life to them. He met Felicity when they both accompanied parents to UBC for take your child to work day, their families have been close ever since. It wasn’t questioned when they moved out and in together, and Felix has made their apartment into it’s own jungle, complete with a lizard or two. He figures if Felicity can turn their apartment into a stray cat home he can have lizards. He’s got degrees in Botany and Animal Health and puts both to good use. He has his dream job caring for the Botanical Gardens at UBC and could live out his life just as it is.
Mannerisms: Felix is the suave, flash a smile and have women on their knees type. He knows many bits and pieces of poetry and puts them to good use when he’s trying to attract company for a night or a week, depending on the person. He is fluent in the language of flowers and can give the greatest insult with the prettiest of flowers. He’s most open surrounded by plants and his mood is generally dictated by the weather, or vice versa, no one could ever really tell.
Clutching his arm, the blood dribbling through his fingers, Felix's head pounded in his ears. The world was spinning before his eyes as he could hear his breath come out in pants, but still he stumbled along in the direction of the hospital and the one person that felt like home.
It was more than a shock coming face to face with someone he'd wanted to leave in his past, someone that had effected his life, the life of his loved ones, to the point of complete change. And then he'd disappeared .. he died!
They were soon engaged and life was sweet. He had to say that even he got on with the man who would later bring so much sorrow. The family were possibly as much in love with him as Fliss. He and Felix would attend games together, go out for beers and were as good friends as two men could me. It wasn't until he received the call whilst working one day from a sobbing Fliss that the world decided to come crashing down in to reality and pain.
Kian had passed away ...
Only now .. he hadn't, he was back, but he wasn't him. Perhaps he was just a doppelganger, someone who looked exactly the same. But that wouldn't explain the details .. like the faint scar on his left forearm from a bar fight the two had gotten into one drunken football game, or the little outline of freckles in the shape of a star on his neck that he knew Fliss had nicknamed 'her lucky star'. Everything, down to the way he spoke and moved, echoed Kian and the memories were so bright and clear like the accident had only happened yesterday.
How could he be alive .. he'd almost killed them .. the family .. Felicity .. She'd tried to kill her self twice after Kian, her fiance, had died .. once out of pain .. the second time after miscarrying their child, her last hold on the love of her life. It was the darkest point in their lives .. even after what they'd been through in the last months.
So on seeing this man again, of course it wasn't just anger that bubbled and boiled to the surface .. the pain was there and the sorrow that they'd had to conquer .. but it all came out as violence. The way he'd reacted this he didn't even know .. didn't even recognize Felix .. and they'd been so close .. it send blots of red through his vision and he'd gone for him. The surge of anger was like nothing he'd felt before. It triggered something in him .. a change .. the head ache he had tripled in intensity and the red that stained everything was almost unreal. It was like someone else took over as he swung before the sharp intense feeling of pain brought him back to his senses. Even now it felt like he was battling between two sides of him. And maybe .. it was time for Felix to just ... give ... in ...

Freyr took a breath, deep, a hiss of pain coming through his teeth but a smirk drawing across his face as he fully awoke in his new body. After days .. weeks of the change, of his mortal suffering through headaches, blackouts .. he was fully here, fully present, fully taken over. Of course he'd happily share this vessel with the gentleman. They had a bond through their work, their love of nature and their faithfulness to one they called sister. "Freyja.." The words left his lips thoughtfully, like he was testing his new mouth .. but it came out with strong determination as he took a step forward, still holding tight on the bleeding wound and walking in the directions he'd taken from Felix's mind.

The doctors gathered in swarms around Freyr as he walked in, head held high and bright eyes searching for the face of the dear twin he'd been separated from for years. The sixth sense that kept them connected buzzed, the tingling sense of another near by God going in to overdrive as he felt Felix awake in the back of his mind, troubled by the feelings.
He was in two places now, explaining and placating the troubled mortal existing in his consciousness, and batting off the people trying to treat him. "No! I need a nurse .. Felicity .. I want her." Odd looks crossed the faces of those around him but he seized that moment to travel straight to the front desk, stating loudly he needed to see Nurse Felicity.
"..Felix?" The voice made his head shoot up and turn to the right where she stood there .. shining somehow .. his sister. He noted the flash of ice in her eyes and the way she stood taller in a moment. He noticed the change from mortal to God and it drew a smile .. just his presence drew her out.
"Sister .." He mumbled. The smile in her glassy eyes was noted by everyone who stopped, confused at the two. Freyja took in the smoothness of his features, the bright ice blue of his eyes, exactly the same as her own .. he differed so much from his mortal but in small ways so only someone who knew him as close as she and Felicity would know. "You're home." She whispered, stepping forward and touching his cheek, Freyr nuzzling his face into his twin's embrace. "I'm home..". Their moment was brief though as the two slipped back, Felicity and Felix maneuvering their way back out into the world.
Felix's face of complete shock and fear was enough for a calm Fliss to take his good arm and lead him back into one of the emergency rooms, barking orders at an intern to bring her supplies to clean and suture.
- ♠ -
"And .. that is why we're linked .. that's why we're like siblings? It's not by our own choosing?"
"No .. I don't think so Felix." Fliss spoke, tying off the last suture. He was lucky to have a clean and easy wound, the stab had hit no muscle or bone .. the arteries were fine .. it was easily repaired and stitched up by her. Who every had a hand in this was a master with a knife. "I think they chose us because of that reason, because we are like brother and sister and like our Gods." She'd spent the last two or so hours explaining all she knew to him, giving him a detailed run through of what he'd missed. To find out they were the two fabled twins of ancient Norse mythology blew his poor mind .. but at the same time.. things added up.
"So .. we are to coexist in my 'vessel' as you call it." His question probed her to look up and smiling at him in the tender way she always had done, nodding. But no fear, no anger came. Felicity was home and safety, he had no reason to grow untrusting or frightened. He was fine. he just needed to adjust. The best thing was it meant he and Fliss truly were siblings in one way. The though settled him almost immediately. "But Felix .. how on earth did you get this?" He winced as she lightly ran and alcohol cloth over the sutured cut.
Felix stared at the wound, the words dead on his tongue but he had to find a way of speaking them .. Looking in to Felicity's eyes, he spoke the name that he knew would bring a crushing blow.
I'm ready for it. But it's nothing new .. I'm a pansy when it comes to drinking. You could best me anyday, one of the many reasons you captured me. Now get your ass here.
