What If…
Disclaimer: FFVII belongs to Square, always has done and always will do. I'm not making any money from this in the slightest
Authors note: This is a challenge I set myself to see what would have happened if Chaos had taken a rather strange turn of heart and helped Vincent get the hell out of the mansion, rescue Lucrecia as well as a young Sephiroth. So therefore it's completely AU, slightly fluffy in places, with time skips and hopefully should transpire into something a little on the interesting side. Well I'll leave the decision to you my avid readers.

Unaided Sin
"Let me see my son!" the woman screamed, throwing herself virtually at the feet of the man but he pushed her away roughly with a dark smirk. His words were lost to the body that had formerly been Vincent Valentine as once again the blackness claimed his senses but an unseen figure watched the scene with piped curiosity.
The man was laughing now, cruelly beating the woman to the ground for no apparent reason that Chaos could see. "And let you ruin all my hard work? You are such a fool my dear Lucrecia to think I would have such a thing contaminated. You be a good girl and play with the broken body of a man you claimed to love"
With that Hojo disappeared, still laughing manically and quite frankly pissing the demon off. Sure there were always means bastards in the world but to deny a woman the rights to see her child? Then claim she would contaminate him? She was his mother for Omega's sake, not some pathetic whining cow from the slums who had nothing to do with the aforementioned boy. At least he now knew who Lucy was, Vincent seemed unable to let her go from his mind, despite the fact that he was technically dead, so Chaos had spent many an interesting hour exploring the relationship that should have happened.
Still Chaos was confused as to why he even cared about this situation, it made no sense for him to even be standing there watching her cry. I'm getting to involved with this man…damn that materia.
Turning to look back at the former Turk, Chaos could only sigh further, "To think of all the humans I could have been born into I get stuck with the likes of you" he commented dryly before turning back to look at the woman who was crying. She was mumbling to herself, incoherently and he was just about to return to the solace of unending darkness when her words caught him completely off guard.
"I'm so sorry" she began as usual, "I meant to say our son, Vincent. Why can't I speak the truth and have this nightmare destroyed before it starts? It's all my fault…all my fault"
The child was Vincent's? That was certainly news to the demon and looking between the two it was hard to imagine a time they got together. Unless they had both been extremely drunk or something at the time but that would at least left some form of odd memory in there and Chaos had searched pretty much through everything that the man had. True it was painfully obvious the feelings they each harboured for each other, to the point where Chaos would have personally smacked them into getting together, but nothing appeared to come of it.
Frowning a little as the woman staggered away to tend to her broken heart and bleeding wounds, Chaos decided to do something all together stupid.
He would find the boy - what had he been called again? – and verify what he had heard from the woman. If indeed she had spoken the truth and not some wistful thinking, then by Omega he would help the pair get away from the sick bastard that was Hojo.
"Damnit, I'm supposed to control you yet here I am ready to try and help. You better be thankful of this in the future Vincent" Chaos muttered before turning and heading out of the room, mentally ordering the other three to get a move on with the healing process.
This was going to be an interesting night.
