Building an Arm for a Thunder God ((for pirateangelbaby))

[liverfree]

After offering his Hephaestus' services to Thor to build him a new prosthetic arm, Prometheus went straight to work locating his cousin. It wasn't too difficult; he always had his forge under an active volcano -- but not too active, as that would disrupt his work.

It took longer to convince him to build a god from a completely different pantheon a new arm. A god of storms, even. It could be interpreted as a betrayal to his father. But Hephaestus owed Prometheus -- his mentor, of sorts -- the favor, and besides, Zeus's authority had grown weak over the millennia as humans believed in his divinity less and less.

And Hephaestus did love a challenging project.

A week after Thor's tragic arrival in the Nexus, Prometheus sends him a set of PINpoint coordinates. They'll take him to the base of a large volcano -- more like a mountain, really -- where the Titan is waiting. He's shouldering a backpack, but is otherwise dressed in his leather jacket and jeans, so he must not be anticipating too strenuous a hike. "Welcome to Mount Etna in Sicily. Not too far from Greece."
