If Daisy was asked to describe herself in just one word she would have to choose curious, with 'very' or 'too' being added by others. She could not help it really, the universes was full of wonders and she did not wish to leave any unexplored. This was how she found herself in a realm few angels ventured to unless ordered, even those who served under Uriel himself. The realm of the dead was not a place for those who were not Angels of Death to walk, not that it was forbidden just frowned upon. She had been expecting gloom even in the happier levels. The sky was a perfect blue, flowers of every color shifted in a sea of rich greens, trees rustling in a soft warm breeze. She spotted a little girl with a lap full of flowers, she was singing to herself and Daisy darted behind a thick trunk so she could watch her. Golden twin braids shifted as she braided the flowers into a crown, head turning and calling out to someone Daisy had not noticed approaching.
Freezing she saw black wings tipped in silver held back as most angels kept them when not flying or fighting, sliver lined robes and hood hid his features but she knew it was a he. The little girl laughed at him not at all intimidated by the imposing black and sliver figure. Watching him kneel down Daisy smiled at the girl's clear delight at his presence, she was adorable. Freezing when the little girl pointed at her hiding spot she watched the hood turn, head tilting slightly as she was studied. When the hooded angel beckoned Daisy swallowed but slowly moved forward, the little girl was happy to see him so how bad could he be? Coming to a stop before the pair she hugged her arm, wings dropping a bit, "Um...hello."
"Wow you're really pretty!" The little girl cried happily, "Isn't she really pretty?" The hood shifted with a nod and the little girl clapped before setting a crown of flowers on the dark fabric as if it was simply hair. "Now you're pretty too!"
Daisy covered her mouth before she just could not help but laugh, an Angel of Death with a flower crown was so strange yet somehow adorable. The hood tilted at her and she bit her lip still smiling, "Sorry."
The angel stood, the little girl held in his arms completely content to be there, "Pretty angel come closer please?"
Smiling Daisy inched closer, the male was clearly watching her but made no comment so she hoped this was all right. Stopping in front of the little girl she grinned, "My name is Daisy."
"Like the flower?" The littler girl asked almost in awe, the angel nodded and with a giggle the little girl took the crown from the male angel and set in on wavy brown hair. "Now Daisy is even prettier!"
Daisy giggled back, this little girl was just too cute. "Yes, she is." Hearing the male speak Daisy blinked, surprised by the voice as much as by what it had said. He may just be agreeing with the child to keep her happy, angels could lie to children like that since it was innocent, but she was not sure. Tucking a lock behind her ear she looked down at the flowers they were standing in.
"Someday I will be a pretty angel too," She nodded to herself and Daisy looked back up.
"Once you grow up Little One you will become a fine angel," The male assured her, head tilting as if he heard something before nodding to himself. "Go back to playing hm?"
"The others will love hearing about a new angel visiting, bye Daisy!"
"Bye little girl!" Daisy called waving as the little blonde ran off, "Are they all that cute?"
"They are innocents so what do you think?" The male asked with a hint of humor in his tone.
"Well that is a yes, could just say so." Daisy reminded the male, it was bugging her she could not see his face. Her fingers itched to throw that cowl back, why did he wear it anyway around the kids waiting to be reborn for their second chance?
"And where is the fun in that?" Head titled a bit as arms loosely crossed, this angel was interesting at least.
"You play games with anyone who comes here?" Daisy liked the touch of gruffnes his voice had, very few angels had that kind of voice.
"Depends on why they come, and why is a trainee like you in my realm? Get lost on the tour?" The male arched a brow even if she could not see it, habit was habit.
Daisy frowned at her gray boring wings, looking at his tipped in metal meaning he was trained and good at his job, which she had seen a bit of already. "I was exploring and was curious...you aren't mad are you?"
"Mad, no, why do I seem mad?" He was curious but not at all annoyed, Daisy had made Ruth happy so what did it matter what color her wings were?
"Well, no, but," Daisy trailed off playing with her gold bangles absently, "My wings aren't black like yours so...it is frowned upon."
"It is frowned upon because not all angels can understand the complexities of death since not all of them were once human." Those born of Heaven were immortal, and so had little understanding of the complex feelings mortality brought to humans.
Daisy nodded, that made perfect sense to her, angels could really only be killed by a handful of things so had little fear of death. "So you don't mind me because I can understand your realm better then they can?"
"You made Ruth's day, I don't care what color your wings are," She looked fine with the featureless gray wings all trainees were granted, or young angels were born with.
"Ruth huh? And do I get to learn your name too Mr. Reaper?" Daisy cooed, this guy was not exactly grim, even if he might look the part with his hood up. The male shrugged and Daisy laughed playfully punching his arm, feeling the metal of his armor beneath the robe. "So Mr. Reaper is only nice to kids, figures."
"Sorry, I'm running a little late since I had to find you."
"Lady May?!" Daisy squeaked in shock, those crimson gold tipped wings were as impressive as her golden armor. The Queen of the Angels was the fiercest female warrior in the host of Heaven, equal to Michael in every way. There was much talk about May being named War leaving Michael to lead the Host in the final war.
"Daisy?" May frowned at the trainee she had taken an interest in, Daisy had promise but was not as disciplined as she would like.
Daisy bit her lip knowing she would be hearing about this later, moving away from the male angel she bowed her head. "It was nice meeting you, Lady May I'll be going now."
May watched Daisy take to the air as if the field was on fire, the male lowering his hand since he had failed to catch her. "Lord Reyes I am sorry if she caused you any trouble, she is a good girl just too curious for her own good."
Robbie shook his head before pulling back his hood, "She caused no trouble Lady May, please inform her she is welcomed here if she cares to return?"
May frowned slightly, "She is not training to become an Angel of Death."
"No, one who loves life so much would stagnate among the realms of the dead. She did seem to enjoy playing with one of my charges, and she seems to have a gift with children." Robbie knew not everyone could stand earning black wings, Daisy should stick with brighter colors.
May smiled a little, that sounded like Daisy all right, "If that is your wish I will let her know she is not in for another lecture. Now perhaps we should discuss business?" Robbie nodded and May nodded back following the male as he gestured opening a ringed doorway and walked through leaving the warrior to follow.

Daisy smiled holding the crown of daisy and wild flowers, it had looked cute on the nameless male really. "I always thought Angels of Death were cold, you know since they collect and hunt down souls. He was really nice really."
Jemma shook her head, ivory wings shifting as she flipped through her books. "That is a common misconception you humans have. It makes sense since so many see death as something scary, and so even angels tied to it are rather chilling."
"No clue who he is, and since May showed up to talk with him I am so busted." Daisy sighed chin in her hands, sitting on the stairs while her best friend was studying something. Jemma's white wings marked her as an Angel of Mercy, they gleamed in the light. Her light armor covered vibrant colored cloth, today sky blue. "And just when we were getting along too."
"You are not forbidden to be there so I am not sure 'busted' is that right word," Jemma corrected absently while flipping open another book. "I wonder what May was doing there?"
"Well like everyone says she will be chosen as War, so maybe she went there to see Death? I mean, they were chosen, right?" Daisy was sure she heard Uriel had chosen a Death from among his black winged followers. May had not officially been named War, Famine and Pestilence were also still unnamed.
"Oh yes, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are all prestigious roles, I am happy to not be called to fill one." Jemma was quite content tending to injured angels and studying human literature, becoming the living personification of Famine or Pestilence was unsettling to her.
Daisy nodded absently, being War was not that bad since man was already inclined to fight and kill. Death might be all right since mortals died every day anyway. The other two did not sound even the least bit fun, and she wondered if God would choose an angel to fill them or simply create them when the time came? Angels of Mercy would have to go against their natures to become Pestilence, and Guardian Angles really did not fit Famine. "You and me both, I mean I'm just a trainee who hasn't even picked a color yet."
"Well choosing what type of angel you wish to be should not be done lightly, seeing as it will shape who you are from then onward." Jemma looked up from her books, "You did not change your mind about death did you?"
"No, black and sliver is not really my thing, though if I got to play with happy kids all day everyday that would be fun." Daisy would not mind hanging out form time to time if she ever found out who she had been bantering with.
"Not sure if red and gold are either," May chimed in as she stopped at the head of the stairs looking down at Daisy and Jemma.
"Hello Lady May," Jemma greeted with a pleasant smile, Warrior Angels and Angels of Mercy were two sides of the same coin.
"Jemma," May returned with a polite nod, she rather liked the somewhat chatty angel, most of the time. "Daisy if you would come with me."
Daisy nodded getting to her feet, dusting her white clad butt even if dust was not a thing in Jemma's study. "See ya around Jemma."
"I will see you soon Daisy," Jemma encouraged with a smiled, sighing softly when her door closed. "Oh she'll be fine...I hope."
IMINLOVEWITHANANGEL,HEAVENFORBID
Lady May glanced behind her, frowning slightly at the slumped wings and shoulders of the normally energetic brunette. "You are not in trouble Daisy." Dark eyes looked up hopeful, that was better. "You did nothing wrong you simply surprised me by being there, nothing more."
"I was just curious...was he mad?" Daisy knew he had not acted like he was but he could have changed his mind.
"Not at all," May assured, it was hard to stay mad at Daisy unless she had been hurt.
Daisy nodded relieved, no one was mad and that was all she needed to cheer her up, "You go there often?"
"No, few Angels of Death are powerful enough to hunt down demons that try to claim souls not owed them by contract." May killed demons, that was why she existed, and few angels without crimson wings could stand with her on the battlefield.
Daisy nodded, it made sense those who collected and guided souls would not care for greedy demons, "Well they are evil so, yeah. Can I ask you something?"
May turned to face the younger angel, "You know you can so why waste time asking me?"
"um...well it is a little personal," Daisy answered wings shifting to hide her a little, May nodded and Daisy relaxed. "Is it always so hard to choose your calling?"
May frowned slightly, "Not for all no, I was born to fight so I knew I would either earn crimson or gold wings, I chose crimson."
It made sense to Daisy some angels had to choose between becoming either Warrior or Guardian Angels. "I just know I would not make a good reaper so far."
May smiled a little, it had taken Reyes one meeting to pin Daisy as a lover of life, "No, you would not, and there is no shame in that Daisy."
Daisy nodded, "I know I just...I just feel kinda bad that many of us look down on them just because they have black wings."
"It is wrong yes, but even we angels shiver at the thought of dying. Go back to your friend now Daisy, you should enjoy your time with them when you have it." May knew for all her power she could be humbled by Death, Death only humbled by God.
Daisy nodded, she did enjoy spending time with her friends, "I will May promise." Grinning she ran off, sure she could find someone to spend some time with.
IMINLOVEWITHANANGEL,HEAVENFORBID
Daisy landed on soft grass spotting the Angel of Death from yesterday laying in the grass watching a band of kids play in the flowers. Walking up to the male she frowned pausing, she was pretty sure it was the same one but she could not be sure really. Shrugging she started walking again finding herself beside the male in no time at all. Looking down she smiled, his hood was folded under his head and he seemed to have dozed off. She had often dozed off on nice days like this so she fully understood, even with the sound of kids yelling in joy it would be pretty easy to be lulled into a lazy nap. Crouching down she studied the face she had not been able to see yesterday, too curious to do otherwise. He had a nice tan going on, black hair short but she could still run her fingers through it if she tried. What struck her were freckles, angels born in Heaven didn't have them since they were a human imperfection, as if. The dusting made her want to count and touch each one, not sure why. Reaching out she froze, if she touched him she might disturb him, and he looked so peaceful that would a shame. Curling back her fingers she yelped falling on her ass when a dark eye opened suddenly. Wincing she looked up, the male propped up on his elbow just blinking at her in open confusion. "Hi again," giving him a little nervous wave she prayed he was the same guy from yesterday, and she had not just done something bad and not just stupid.
Robbie blinked at the pretty brunette from yesterday, looking nervous and embarrassed, "Daisy."
Daisy relaxed when she heard her name, the voice was the same she had not made a mistake, "Sorry if I woke you."
Robbie titled his head, "It's fine, and you really didn't."
"Oh good, I was worried when you just opened your eyes like that," Daisy shifted so her legs were folded to her side, hands on soft green.
"You don't feel like one of them," Robbie explained nodding towards the dancing and running children, angels and ghosts felt different as they should.
"oh..," Daisy bit her lip lightly, she had not considered that she would stick out like that, "I'm a little surprised they let you sleep at all."
Robbie smiled slightly at that, "Not all kids like playing with adults, but yeah some days there is not a moments peace."
"Must be nice, spending all your time with happy kids even if they are dead for the moment," Daisy would not mind spending a few days like that for sure. Maybe this guy would let her come by more often, even if she was just a trainee who had not even chosen a color yet?
"Yeah," Robbie agreed softly, glancing at the kids before turning back to Daisy, "That is not all I do."
"Oh I know, but it is still a job perk," Daisy winked, frowning slightly when dark eyes looked away. "Sorry to bother you again."
"Bother? Didn't May tell you that you were welcomed here?" Robbie could see May not getting the chance to, she was one of the busiest angels after all.
"No, she said I wasn't in trouble but...kinda got off topic so not her fault really," Daisy watched dark eyes, he sure had a stoic mask perfected.
Robbie nodded, he could see that happening, "So why have you come back Daisy?"
"I wanted to see you again, and now I know what you look like," Daisy should have guessed he had been human once too, since angels didn't understand death like humans did.
Robbie tilted his head frowning slightly, "You risked getting in trouble just to see me?"
"Why does that surprise you? I mean we were getting along really well...weren't we?" Daisy frowned unsure, she had sworn they were hitting it off but she had been wrong before.
"We were yeah," Robbie assured the unsure angel, "I just didn't expect you to be that curious about me."
"Why?" Daisy could not think of a reason she would not have fond the male interesting, she had a good feeling about him.
"No one really did when I was alive," Robbie answered looking down, he had family but few friends, here he did not even have that.
Daisy reached out, hand resting on the male's knee drawling his attention, "I wasn't exactly Miss. Popular back then either, but things can be different now."
Robbie stared at a delicate looking hand resting on black, this angel not afraid to touch him at all, "Robbie."
"Huh?" Daisy asked confused, she had been distracted by dark eyes focused on her hand.
"You asked for my name yesterday, isn't fair to keep it to myself," Robbie was only refereed to as Robbie by the children other angels calling him Reyes, Lord or otherwise.
"Robbie...suits you somehow," Daisy decided with a little grin, it had a causal feel to it that she liked.
Robbie gave her a little smirk at that, "Thanks...I think."
"You know," Daisy corrected as she shifted closer, the big scary black winged angel not scary at all.
"You wish," Robbie retorted as he crossed his legs, elbows resting on his knees.
"And me without a candle," Daisy cooed, picking a handful of flowers, so many bright colors brought a smile to her face.
"You're not suppose to say those out loud remember?" Robbie had heard countless wishes from his charges, it was better to be full of wishes then regrets.
Daisy frowned, that was true even she did not remember if she ever knew why exactly. Holding up the flowers she sniffed them before dropping on Robbie's head. Grinning when he blinked at her she nodded, flashes of color like stars caught in the folds of his robe. "Knew a splash of color would look good on you."
Robbie blinked up at the kneeling angel, looking down at the spilled flowers stuck in curves of his robe or pooled in his lap. "You got something against silver and black?"
"On you not at all," Daisy answered still grinning, black looked good on him to be sure. "You got something against bright colors?"
"They would look better on you," Robbie informed the angel, smirking a bit more when she blushed faintly.
Daisy took a daisy from his lap and tucked it behind her ear as she sat down beside him facing the children, "Tell me about them?"
Robbie closed his eyes but Daisy was no longer looking at him, turning his attention to the children he nodded. "Well Ruth you met already..."

Leopold frown slightly at Daisy sitting on the stairs of Jemma's study, perfectly normal, twirling a daisy around with an absent smile. "Where did she get that?"
"Oh she made a new friend it seems," Jemma answered as she flipped through a book same as yesterday.
"Well that is not unusual, but I would say she may have made a friend friend," Leopold was sure that look was what girls with a crush looked like.
Jemma looked up from the golden writing and frowned, "You really think Daisy has a crush on an Angel of Death?"
"Well...she is the type to be that contrary, besides if he is kind to her would that really mater?" Leopold knew angels of different wing colors did not always see eye to eyes, but they were all still angels at the end of the day.
"Well that is true enough," Jemma agreed, Daisy seemed happy so that should be enough for her. "Are you worried?"
"A little, I mean we don't know the guy," Leopold always worried when Daisy made friends with new angels.
"I have only met a few of his kind, they were all pure business, not exactly the friendly type." Angels of Mercy were the friendliest, death seemed to keep the mostly to their own.
"You keep doing the research May asked for, I'll learn more about this new guy," Leopold was curious and had no pressing projects right then to work on.
"Thank you Leo, I am sure we are worrying over nothing," Jemma worried after her young friend a bit more then was needed, it was hard not to.
Nodding Leopold walked up to Daisy, frowning she she did not seem to notice him, "Nice flower."
Daisy jumped, looking up at Jemma's not boyfriend she smiled embarrassed, "Hey, um yeah."
"So made a new friend?" Leopold smiled, Daisy was adorable embarrassed.
"His names is Robbie and yes," Daisy answered proudly, she had spent hours listening to stories about the children he had met. His voice was so soft when he spoke of them it was endearing, she no doubt his voice could be terrifying if he wanted it to be.
Leopold nodded, Robbie meant he was likely a former human just like Daisy, "And he gave that to you?"
"Nope, dropped a whole bunch of flowers on his head and took this one for myself," Daisy grinned, Robbie had the most adorable what the Hell face.
Leopold shook his head, that sure sounded like her all right, "And did he mind being showered in flowers?"
"After the shock wore off nope, he's a big old softie under all that black." Sure he could look scary but Daisy knew better now, Robbie was a Cinnamon Roll same as Leo and Jemma.
"Well it makes perfect sense you would use your free time to make friends." Daisy was so well liked because she was bright ball of energy that brighten everyone's day, and surely those gloomy Angels of Death could use a bit of sun.
Daisy grinned up at her male friend, "Wanna meet him?"
"Well...I am not sure I would do so well in his domain," Leopold was curious but he was and Angel or Mercy and they fought death in a way.
Daisy shook her head getting to her feet, tucking her flower back behind her ear she got to her feet. "Oh please. Come on it is really pretty, you'll be pleasantly surprised promised."
Leopold sighed softly but allowed Daisy to pull him along, "We will be back later Jemma!"
"Have fun you two!" Jemma called back not looking up.
IMINLOVEWITHANANGEL,HEAVENFORBID
"Rob-ie!" Daisy sing songed as she landed, she saw a few robed angles with kids but they were not him, or hims at all for that mater. Ignoring Leopold looking around she crossed her arms and tapped her foot, where was that dead man? "ROBBIE!"
"Nice to know your lungs still work chica, truly impressive," Robbie frowned at the pouting angel as he walked out of a portal, hood pulled back as it closed. Noting the new male he frowned a bit deeper crossing his arms, "I don't remember saying your friends had an open invitation."
"Aw come on don't be like that," Daisy teased hugging Leopold's shoulders. "Leo is a friend of mine, he's not going to break anything."
Leopold turned when he heard a male voice teasing Daisy, a portal closing behind the hooded male, hood pulled back as the portal winked out of existence. Ignoring Daisy he just stared at the male, Robbie, it could not be? "What the…?"
Robbie sighed softly shaking his head, he really should not be surprised Daisy wanted him to met all her friends. Glancing at the gaping male he tilted his head, "Does he normally do...that?"
"Leo, you are worrying the nice reaper man here," Daisy frowned not sure why Leopold was staring at Robbie like he was. Sure he had silver tipped wings but that was not that strange since any angel could earn them.
"You didn't tell me you were friends with Lord Reyes," Leopold frowned at Daisy, how did you skip such a major detail?
"Lord Reyes...who?" Daisy looked from Leopold to Robbie, if Leopold was this worked up Robbie had to be important. He didn't look as impressive as Lady May so how powerful could he be?
"Death Daisy, Lord Reyes was chosen to be the Horseman of Death." Leopold eyed the robe, the black winged male did not look any different from any other Angel of Death talented enough to earn the tipped wings.
"Death..," Daisy trailed off blinking at Robbie, she had met one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and had no clue what so ever. Taking a step back she bowed her head, she really was an idiot sometimes. "Sorry to bother you Lord Death I...I'll be going now."
"Daisy wait," Robbie protested reaching out to catch her hand, freezing when she shied from his reaching hand. Lowering his hand his jaw flexed as he nodded, flipping his hood back into place he opened another portal, glancing at Daisy once more before looking down. "Watch your step if you enter one of the lower levels, they are not as...pleasant." Warning given he walked through the ring not bothering to look at either of the pale winged angels, he was use to others running from him why should Daisy be any different?
Leopold swallowed, so that was the angel chosen to be the embodiment of death itself. He had not been that scary really, he seemed more hurt then anything. Turning to Daisy he frowned, "Daisy?"
"Not now let's…let's just get out of here okay?" Daisy really did not want to talk to her logical friend just then. When Leopold nodded she gave him a grateful little smile and took to the air. The look on Robbie's face when she rejected him stung, why had she pulled away from him like that? Why was she suddenly afraid of him? Why did she feel so guilty as she flew away from the field she had spent hours just listening to him talk earlier that day? Wiping her eyes she wished she knew.

To be honest this no doubt came about because of my love of CLAMP's X Anime and Manga series. If you have never seen X/1999, an OVA, or the series X then you have no idea what I am talking about. Basically it is a series where the 7 seals needed to be broken to start the Apocalypse are people as are the 7 angels destined to do the breaking. Both sides fight until one side is all dead, also Slash because CLAMP. I rather like the idea of God using angels of death and war to become Death and War, then again my views on religion do not exactly line up with mainstream doctrines. Yes other AOS cast members will be cast among the Host like Coulson later so don't worry about them not showing up yet. If this interests you please let me know as this is something I have only played with once before. Gundam Wing Slash for those interested.
