N. So just had this thought enter my head of what would it be like if an Angel went undercover at Beacon. Note this is an AU that follows the time line of the main series starting a short amount of time before episode one. Hopefully it works out and you guys enjoy it. Also I haven't stopped writing on my other story The Wolf Of Beacon I just felt like starting this while it's fresh in my head.
The Angel of Beacon Chapter one preparations
Zachariah was nervous, after all who wouldn't be when going to see Archangel Gabrielle. The one who pierced the Dragon Lucifel in the eye and lead humanity to dust, so that they might better fight back against the Grimm that the dragon had created before he was banished to hell. He mustered his courage checking his appearance one last time before entering the door. His white, long sleeved, button up shirt, wasn't wrinkled for once and his black dress pants were in just as good a condition. He had spent an hour polishing his shoes when he heard that Gabrielle wanted to see him. The last thing he did was check his wings, while it's true that ordinary Angel wings were made of feathers, Paladins like him had wings made of what appeared to be hardened light and steel. His ridiculous height of seven feet also didn't help, if only due to the fact that even though he had several centuries of experience dealing with it he still felt awkward when talking to others for constantly having to look down in order to see others in the eye.
Mustering up his courage he knocked on the door waiting anxiously for it to open. When the door opened Zachariah almost fainted due to the combination of excitement and stress. Standing before him was a woman at least six foot tall who had black hair, green eyes and wings that were made of feather that like Zachariah's were made of light except hers had a softness to them that just screamed motherly love. Zachariah quickly recovered from the shock of seeing a legend in person for the first time and gave a quick bow to the Archangel. "You wanted to see me Archangel." He said in a voice way to smooth for casual interaction.
Gabrielle just smiled upon seeing this after all the boy was a member of one the first to volunteer in the crusade to secure the kingdom of Vale from the Grimm all those years ago and she knew for a fact that no Grimm or daemon scared him. Yet here he was as nervous as a child meeting their hero for the first time. "Yes I did, why don't you come inside my office and we'll talk about why." She said in soft tone showing that this wasn't purely business but also something personal.
Zachariah just nodded as he walked into her office not expecting what he saw. In her office was large wooden desk covered in paper work and pens. There was also a small coffee table with three chairs arranged in a triangle around it off to one side of the room while on the other side was a small book shelf and a map of remnant with the four kingdoms names present along with the names of all locations worth knowing on the map.
"Just sit down by the coffee table" Gabrielle said in the same tone as before. Zachariah just nodded and sat down in one of the chairs. The moment he sat down a tray appeared on the coffee table that had three cups of tea on it as well as cream, sugar and stirring spoons.
"Uh pardon me Archangel, but why are there three cups?" He asked the confusion evident in her voice.
Gabrielle smiled and said "Please call me Gabrielle dear it makes thing easier for me and to answer your question that's because I have a very special guest coming in just a few moments." Zachariah just looked at Gabrielle after all if she said this guest was special then it must be someone of importance, but who could it be.
Just as he was beginning to wonder he heard another knock on Gabrielle's door. Gabrielle went and opened up the door whispering something to her new Guest. Zachariah turned to see a woman with brunette hair and brown eyes wearing a silver hood with a matching combat skirt and black boots. The one feature that didn't seem normal was the halo floating above her head showing her status as a human soul residing in Heaven. The woman was then lead by Gabrielle over to the coffee table into the chair on Zachariah's right while Gabrielle sat in the chair on his left. "Zachariah let me introduce you to Summer Rose, Summer this is Zachariah the Angel that I told you about yesterday."
Summer and Zachariah looked at each other as if trying to peace together why the other was brought here.
The silence ended when Zachariah asked Summer one question "What would a soul like you need an Angel like me for?"
Summer picked up the spoon for the sugar and began to pour an almost insane amount of sugar in her cup. After she finished putting what had to be at least a dozen spoonfuls of sugar in the cup she began to stir it. After stirring it for a bit she took a sip and said "I need you to go to Remnant and be the Guardian Angel for my daughter Ruby Rose."
Zachariah just sat there shocked for a moment before he started to laugh. He then looked at Gabrielle and said "I heard that you had a good sense of humor, but honestly do you expect me to fall for this everyone knows that it's impossible for an Angel to be assigned the task of keeping one person safe there just isn't enough of us to do so." He took a moment before saying "Seriously though that was a good one."As he looked at Gabrielle's expression though he noticed that she had the same serious look on her face as Summer. "You weren't joking were you."
"No I'm not," Gabrielle began "If you chose to do so it will be your job to be Ruby's Guardian Angel during her four years at Beacon academy and possibly beyond depending on the circumstances. This entails protecting her from the harm of Daemons and their ilk and it would also be your job to act as an emotional and moral guidepost for her showing her the right path to take, but never forcing her to do it."
Zachariah decided to take a sip from his tea as he thought about what Gabrielle just said. The more he thought about it the more he realized that Summer must have been a person deserving of becoming an Angel after her 100 years in Heaven as a human soul ended in order to merit a conversation with Gabrielle let alone ask her for this favor. In short Summer Rose was one of those few people who not only had a good soul and heart when she was alive, but had managed to pass on these traits to other bettering their lives so much that the powers that be decided to grant her this one favor.
Zachariah put his tea cup down after realizing this, a serious expression on his face "One thing," he began getting Summer's and Gabrielle's attention "I want a direct link to Summer, I was never a parent when I was a human and I think it's only fair that she helps me out when it comes to raising her daughter." He grinned seeing the smile forming on Summer's face "After all if I'm gonna be stuck playing mentor to the kid I might as well get some other poor soul to go along with me for the ride right. "The moment he finished saying this though he was tackled to the ground out of his chair by an extremely happy Summer Rose who had some how managed to wrap him up in a hug so fierce that it had somehow managed to wrap the Angel's wings as well. Of course the only thing Gabrielle only smiled after all her boss was never wrong especially when it came to stuff like this all that was left to do was arrange how Zachariah would appear on Remnant and how he would work at Beacon.
