Attempt in the First Instance

Lind walked through to Peristome's office, the head of the Valkyries, to give an official report on what had happened with the Angel Eater.

"First class Goddess, Special duty, Lind reporting." Lind stated standing in front of Peristome's desk. Peristome stood up and walked around his desk waving his hand at the door which slammed shut and locked.

"What did you think you were doing going to Earth when your orders were simply to catch and quarantine the creature before returning to your post." Peristome shouted.

"Sir, the Angel Eater…" Lind began.

"No excuses, you disobeyed an order and put the lives of Goddesses and humans alike at risk."

"Sir I..."

"You have dishonoured the Valkyries and have also lost a valuable creature which the lab wanted back to run tests on. And what shall I tell them when they find out it was returned to Hell?"

Lind hung her head and looked at the floor wishing that she could be given a chance to explain the situation.

"You have messed up big time and this will go on your record with suspension for fifty years."

"Sir, please… I…"

Peristome walked over to Lind and lifted her head.

"I could make this go away and you would be able to resume duties as normal without a single blemish on your reputation, for a price of course." Peristome said backing Lind up against the wall.

"Sir?" Lind replied shakily getting more and more nervous the closer Peristome got.

"It would be our little secret and no one would ever know." He whispered into Lind's ear before grabbing her by the arms and slamming her into the wall.

Lind's hands were pinned up above her head with one hand as Peristome brutally kissed her biting her lip so hard that it bleed.

(out-take)

Lind screamed and hoped dearly that someone could hear her and rescue her but deep down she knew nothing would happen, no one would be able to hear her outside the sound proofed walls that prevented the racket outside from being heard in the office, the walls which were now preventing her from being saved.

Vines grew out from the wall and around her wrists as Peristome continued his brutal attack. As much as Lind struggled she couldn't break free, she was rendered helpless and unable to defend herself in any form.

(out-take)

The vines were digging into her wrists drawing blood as she struggled against her bonds. Not wanting to look down she looked ahead at the desk hoping for something to take her mind off what was happening. There on the desk was a feather.

Lind suddenly had an idea and summoned both Cool Mint and Spear Mint who began untying her bonds. Realising what Lind was doing Peristome got to his feet and began punching Lind in hope to weaken her angels but it was too late, Lind was untied. Gathering the last of her strength she punched Peristome in the gut before making a run for the door.

Cool Mint grabbed a cloak hanging by the door and threw it around Lind as she ran out into the hallway. Not paying any attention to her surroundings, Lind ran into one of the portals leading to Earth shouting "Keiichi's residence".
