Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:

Fox Boss: I have the Knights, Rooks planned out but no pawns yet.

DarkLordZay: I have the Knights and Rooks planned out, but I'm still open to suggestions for the Pawns. It's possible she could be in it.

Mcleanbryce7: Hopefully.

Great Saiyanman54: He's not cold or mean, he's annoyed that he's been forced into the human world to attend a school that a wife he wasn't planning on having is going to. Plus the way Issei has been acting is bound to get on anyone's nerves.

Ismail: No he won't be, his Queen made sure that he's more than comfortable with women.

Redrangerlegacy: There was a Death Battle reference in there?

gunman: For the most part Peter's polite but he does have a dark side if pushed too far, he was to a point raised by Mephisto. Well compared to Riser, just about anyone's better as far as Rias is concerned. I already have the peerage picked out and it's all female, but you did already name one that'll be in it, she'll just have a different position in Peter's peerage.

Erofox: No I don't have a PS4… yet.

Arnold: It'll be a bit of both with the occasional original arc or storyline thrown in to keep things interesting.

Sharkzero44: The idea has crossed my mind from time to time.

Fortitude: I think Ophis and Great Red are a bit stronger than the likes of Thor, Loki, Hulk and Hercules, but cosmic level beings like Hela, Doom on occasion, Odin and Dormammu, yeah I think they trump those two.

Mark: I haven't seen Berserk yet, so i never had a reason to consider it, but I'm told the show is good. I think I'll give it a look.

Guest: This Peter is more in line with his Black Suit persona in where his jokes, quips, and comments have a darker undertone to them or are just outright hostile. He'll lighten up the longer he's around Rias and her group and away from Mephisto's influence.

Lord web life of destiny: It'll be a mix of the novels, magna, anime and some original material thrown in, some completely original and some based off a few Spider-man stories. Some of the girls in Issei's harem will be in Peter's but not all. Issei actually won't find out about Rias and Peter's marriage for a while. No Peter wont be getting a Dragon like Issei and Vali have. Peter's powers are roughly the same as his mainstream counterpart's but enhanced and he has a few other powers as well, as for how powerful he is, no he's not up to Blue Marvel or Anti-man's levels, least how he is now.

Guest: Saying God or Jesus won't do anything, it's if they try praying to them or something along those lines that issues begin to arise.

psp reader: Well he is now a demon, their kind arrogant to begin with. Besides I wouldn't say Peter's arrogant, just more confident of himself, less doubtful of his abilities.

omega hunter: Yes Peter's personality will brighten as he remains on Earth. There will be no dragon for Peter in regards to his Sacred Gear, I already having something picked out for him and it'll be rather fitting.

spiderspwan616: Yeah as the story goes their relationship will grow and deepen. I have a Sacred Gear in mind for Peter already and it does work vaguely similar to the Dragon Armor that Issei and Vali have. No Peter has no relation to Tannin.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Marvel or Highschool DXD characters seen, mentioned or used.

Peter quietly whistled to himself as he stood in the elevator as it slowly climbed to his floor. Today had been rather informative and his first meeting with Rias went a lot better than he thought it'd go. He was half expecting her to be in complete and utter denial and refuse to acknowledge their marriage and try to fight it.

'Then again, it was my great grandfather that asked for it' Peter thought with a small frown on his face as the elevator came to a stop at his floor and the doors opened 'Even she knows that refusing him out of all of the Devils in the Underworld is as close as to suicide as it gets for our kind'

Either that… or she totally digs him.

'Or that' Peter thought with a snort as he made his way down the hall to his room.

He had just arrived at his door and was about to enter the code to unlock it when he suddenly heard the door behind him open and a young woman's voice spoke.

"Ah, you must be our new neighbor"

Peter paused and looked over his shoulder to see a girl around his age, maybe a few years older standing in the doorway, looking at him with a friendly smile. She had long scarlet red hair, warm brow eyes, and a voluptuous figure that easily rivaled the likes of Rias, much to his surprise. She was currently dressed in a simple white shirt that seemed to be a bit small on her, showing part of her midriff and blue skirt that ended just halfway down her thighs, showing off an amazing set of legs.

"Uh, hello…" Peter said as he turned towards the young woman and gave her a small nod "Peter…"

The girl smiled as she held out a hand "Erza, Erza Scarlet"

"Your name is Erza Erza Scarlet?" Peter said with a confused expression.

Erza chuckled at this "No, I was simply giving my name and my last name"

"Then why repeat your first name twice? Wouldn't just saying it once along with your last name be just as good?" Peter questioned with greater confusion. Humans were starting to confuse the hell out of him.

Erza shrugged "Hey I don't make the greeting rituals. I just do what they say"

"That sounds fair" Peter said with a nod before he and Erza both heard a sound come from Peter's room that sounded like a dog… a rather large dog.

Erza frowned at this "You have a dog?"

"Yeah…" Peter said with a slow nod "Why? Last I checked, the manager said it was fine"

"Is he a big dog?" Erza asked as she glanced back into her apartment briefly "My mom isn't too find of big dogs. It's why she moved us here, last neighbor had a big Rottweiler"

At this Peter chuckled "Ah don't worry about my dog, he's completely harmless. Wouldn't hurt a fly"

His chuckle died down when he and Erza both heard a dark growl followed by a deep bark that caused Peter to give Erza a sheepish grin as he tried to unlock his door without looking at the keypad "Hehehehe, that's just his way of saying hi… really he's super nice and friendly. Well unless you're someone that likes to fight dogs because then it's a whole other ball game. Or a cat, he hates cats, well he actually likes to chase them, but you know what I mean"

"Well it's a good thing that I happen to adore dogs more than cats" Erza stated as she folded her arms and her face formed a cute pout "But mother won't allow me to get one, even if it's a small one"

"She really doesn't like dogs huh?" Peter said as he heard his door unlock and open ever so slightly.

That however was all his dog needed before it suddenly stuck its head through the small amount of space it was given before Peter kept it from opening any farther and risking the large canine getting out.

"Holy shit…" Erza said in surprise as she took in the dog's appearance.

It looked like a large Pit Bull but was pale white with the eyes being a pale blue with red pupils. The reason for the odd appearance was because Peter's dog, Thori, wasn't a regular dog but in fact a rare breed of Hellhound from the Norse dimension of Hel itself. A gift from Peter's mother's friend for his tenth birthday.

Peter gave Erza a sheepish grin as he tired to push his Familiar back inside before he did anything that could oust him as something more than a large dog.

"Sorry, he's just not used to these new surroundings, so he tires to be around me as often as he can until he does" Peter said as he tried to push a growling Thori back inside "He's a real clingy"

"That's… cute" Erza said with a small grin as she watched Peter shove the large dog back inside completely before Peter himself entered the apartment.

"So I'm told, see ya around" Peter said as he closed the door before locking it before Thori could shove his head through the door again.

Erza shook her head in amusement as she turned and went back into her own apartment to get dinner ready for when her mother got back from work.

'Maybe I'll keep quiet on how big Peter's dog is. Mom would have a heart attack if she saw him' Erza thought with a giggle 'I'm starting to kinda like this place… and the new guy is pretty cute so that's a plus'

…

Meanwhile inside Peter's apartment, the young Devil let out a sigh as he rested against the door before he glared at his Hellhound "Dude, you could have gotten me in trouble!"

Thori, who was busy licking his front paw, stopped and looked up at Peter with an unimpressed expression on his face before he spoke in a deep, gravel like tone.

"Dose Thori look like he cares. Thori wants to get out and murder something. Murder something good!" the large supernatural canine growled as he sat down and stared at Peter "Thori hasn't murdered anything good in days!"

"Yeah well Thori's gonna have to go a lot longer while we're here" Peter sighed as he pushed himself off the door and let his bag fall to the floor as he went further into the apartment.

It was fairly large, especially given that it's only occupants were Peter and Thori. It possessed two bedrooms, one for Peter and one for his Queen when she finally arrives, a full sized bathroom with a standing shower and a hot tub, the latter more for his Queen because she oh so loves her long bubble baths, a updated and modern styled kitchen with fully stocked cupboards and refrigerator, a spacious living room with a good sized plush bed for Thori to use, a flat screen T.V. that was modified to receive channels from the Underworld and a 'L' shaped couch.

All in all, it was a pretty good set up for a young teen living on his own with only a large demonic hellhound with a lust for killing to live in.

'Still prefer my room… I couldn't even bring all of my stuff here' Peter thought with a sigh as he removed his jacket and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt as he made his way to the couch while Thori retreated back into Peter's room, likely to brood over not killing anything today.

"Bah he'll be fine in a few hours and if not…" Peter shrugged to himself "A blood soaked bone or two will cheer him up"

"No it won't!" Thori called from the room with a bark "also stop talking to yourself, it's weird!"

"Well stop listening to my conversations!" Peter shot back with a snort.

"Grrr…"

Peter chuckled as he settled into the couch and let out a sigh as he stared up at the ceiling, wondering what he was going to do now. Since coming to Earth, Peter has quickly discovered that compared to the Underworld, there wasn't much to do.

A good half hour passed with Peter doing nothing but staring up at the ceiling, wishing something interesting would happen to elevate his mood before a black and white magic circle suddenly appeared a few feet away from Peter. The youngest living descendant of Mephisto watched as the light from the magical circle faded to reveal a young woman around Peter's age standing there.

"Hello, my lord" she said with a slight bow.

"Felicia…" Peter said with a small nod towards the Queen of his Peerage and… well his only active piece.

Felicia Hardy was near Peter in height thanks to her heeled thigh high boots. She possessed long snow-white hair, glowing green eyes that, and a voluptuous figure that could quite possibly surpass even the likes of Rias. She was dressed in a pair of black short shorts, a short black mesh shirt that had its sleeves removed and exposed her toned stomach which was all partially covered by a black coat that had a puff of white fur on the sleeves and around the collar. Apart from her beauty, Felicia also possessed and extremely rare Sacred Gear that allowed her to manipulate the probability of other's around her, mainly in the forms of serious bad luck. Now it wasn't exactly specific in how it affects her enemies and even then, she could only use it for a few hours a day at her current power level.

But Peter has long come to treasure her gift, it's saved him more times than he could count… something she loved to remind him of.

Felicia rose from her bow as she reached up and removed her coat before tossing it on the arm of the couch as she sat down next to Peter and ran a hand over his chest.

"How was your first day at the human school my lord?" she asked with a purr.

"You already know the answer" Peter said with a snort as he rested his head against the cushion and went back to looking up at ceiling "Hell, you probably know how the rest of my week will go"

"Probably, but I will say this, Saturday will be an interesting time for you" Felicia chuckled as she rested her head against Peter's shoulder.

"Mind giving me an idea?" he asked as he looked down at her.

"Nope" she said, making a 'pop' sound on the 'P' a she leaned up and planted a small kiss on his lips.

Peter grunted at this as he grabbed Felicia and pulled her into his lap, causing her to giggle in delight as he spoke "You know, as your king I can order you to tell me"

"You could, my lord" she said with a grin as she pressed herself into him "But you won't. Out of fear that your already terrible luck will worsen because of me"

"That may be part of the reason" Peter said as he ran his hands up and down Felicia's body, marveling at how soft yet firm it felt.

"Honestly, I think you only made me your queen in hopes that my luck powers will bring you good luck, or better than what you usually have" Felicia said as she licked the side of Peter's face while his hands settled on her hips and pulled them against his own, causing her to moan.

She then pushed away from Peter briefly to remove her top, causing her breasts to fall out in front of Peter's face. Peter grabbed one and gave it a light kiss as she threw her shirt across the room while she ran another hand through Peter's hair. She began to pant as his kisses became harder and his licks on her nipples turned to sucking. Felicia moaned as she threw her head back in pleasure, loving how her king's mouth felt on her chest. Her breath hitched as one of his hands reached down towards her pants and began to try and slide underneath towards her pussy. She reached down to help him remove the fabric and felt one of his fingers just starting to slid into her aching warmth before they heard the doorbell ring, causing them to pause in their actions.

Felicia groaned as she stood up from Peter but didn't bother to cover herself as she glanced at the door with a slight scowl as she gave a light sniff towards the entryway to the apartment "It's Rias. She's probably here to talk with you more… talk about piss poor timing"

"She alone?" Peter asked with a frustrated sigh as he stood up and moved towards the door "Also how do you know what she smells like?"

"Yes, she is and as for how I know, she wears the same perfume as her mother… tacky" Felicia said as she watched her master open the door and welcomed the Gremory clan heiress inside.

Rias gave Peter a nod of thanks before she saw Felicia standing there topless, her nipples still erect and her body a little red and her breathing still slightly labored "Oh, am I interrupting something?"

"Yes/No" Felicia and Peter said at the same time.

Rias smirked a bit at this while Peter gave her a sheepish grin before glancing at Felicia "We'll finish later"

Felicia scowled at that as she fixed her clothes before she retrieved her jacket. She threw back on before she gave a nod to Peter "I'll go and finish my packing then"

"Your still not done?" Peter asked with bemusement before he gestured to his apartment "You do know that this entire place is a fourth the size of my closet back home, right?"

"That's why magic was created" Felicia said with a wink before she vanished in a black and white magic circle, leaving Peter alone with his fiancé.

"She seems… nice" Rias commented with a grin.

"She usually is, just don't interrupt her special happy time" Peter said with a grin "She may hate you for a few days"

"I'm sure I'll survive" Rias said as she began to look around Peter's apartment with an interested eye.

'So did everyone else that pissed her off before they went mad from the amount of bad luck she dealt them' Peter thought as he watched Rias explore his living room before she glanced down a hallway that led to the bedrooms.

She casted a sly look towards Peter as she placed a hand on her hip and nodded in the direction of Peter's room "Mind if I take a look?"

Peter smirked at that "Depends"

"Depends on what?" Rias asked with a raised brow.

"You like dogs?" Peter asked as he came to stand next to her.

"Yes, I don't mind them" Rias said with a smile "Why, do you have a dog?"

"Sort of…" Peter said as he glanced towards his room and let out a whistle.

Not a second later Thori came barreling out of the room with a snarl, his eyes wide and wild and his muscles tense. Rias let out a shriek of surprise as she hopped behind Peter as Thori came to a stop before Peter, his ears and nose twitching like mad.

"Master call Thori, is master going to let Thori murder something now?!" the massive Hellhound asked as he wagged his tail back and forth in excitement.

"No Thori, I just wanted to show you off to Rias, you can go now" Peter said with a laugh, causing Thori to growl at Peter.

"Thori doesn't like being called like he's some mutt!"

Peter frowned at that "But your mother was a giant wolf and your father was… something. So doesn't that mean your not a pure blooded Hellho-"

"Shut up!" Thori growled, his eyes narrowed and his ears close to his head as he stared up at Peter "Thori isn't a mutt, Thori's unique!"

"Your right about that" Peter said as he patted the large dog on the head before he glanced over his shoulder to see that Rias was a good meter away, her eyes on Thori.

Peter smiled at this as he stepped out of the way "Don't worry, he's harmless. He wont hurt you"

"Thori will" the hound growled before Peter flicked him in the ear "Ow, that hurt stupid Devil!"

"You zip it" Peter scowled at the large beast before he gave Rias a reassuring smile "Seriously, he's all bark and very little bite. You'll be fine"

Rias swallowed nervously as she slowly approached Thori, his red eyes following her every move as she very, very slowly extended her hand out. Peter watched as Thori stared at the extended hand for a moment, a look of confusion on his eyes before he glanced towards Rias.

"Why do you have your hand out like that? Do you want Thori to murder it?" the large Hellhound asked.

Rias paled as she licked her lips "I was hoping I could pet you…"

Thori stared at Rias for a moment before he let out a huff and turned away "Let Thori murder something and Thori will let you"

He then slowly made his way back towards Peter's room, intent on sleeping until dinner or something hopefully breaks into the apartment and Thori could murder it. Peter and Rias watched him go for a moment before Peter gave Rias a sheepish smile.

"I think he likes you!"

Rias gave Peter a bemused expression as she folded her arms under her bust "What makes you say that?"

"Well he didn't growl at you like he did to my Queen when I first introduced her to him" Peter said with a shrug "Plus the fact he's willing to let you pet him if you let him kill something speaks volumes… but don't let him kill anything. Seriously don't, he won't stop if you do"

Rias chuckled as she turned and made her way to the couch "I'll keep that in mind"

"Please do, the last time I let him out and he killed something, he went on a seven-hour rampage and killed half my House's servants" Peter sighed with a shake of his head "My parents were not happy"

Rias hummed at that as she and Peter sat down on the couch "You have a nice place here. Did you pay for it or someone else?"

"My eldest brother, Ben" Peter said as he leaned against his couch's armrest and watched as Rias removed her jacket "He bought me this place and a few other houses and apartments around here in case I ever needed to move out of one of them and into another"

"Why?" Rias asked with a curious expression on her face.

At this Peter pointed to himself "Me"

"You?" Rias questioned "What does that mean?"

"Rias, how often do members of my clan come to the human world?" Peter asked as he glanced out towards the window "Let alone stay for longer than a few hours?"

"Not often… in fact the last confirmed sighting of anyone form your clan walking the earth was reported was almost thirty years ago in South Africa and he was there for an entire day" Rias said.

"Yeah, my Uncle Ben, who my brother is named after" Peter said with a sigh "And how long did it take until Fallen Angels were all over that country, looking for him?"

Rias's eyes widened a bit at this "Oh…"

"Yeah" Peter said with a tired nod "Now thankfully it doesn't seem that any Fallen Angles or even the various Churches of the world that are allied with them or the Angles know I'm here for the time being but well… it's only a matter of time. With them and my family, it usually is"

"So why come up here then? Why not stay in the Underworld?" Rias asked with a worried expression "Especially if you run the risk of attracting half the Fallen Angles and Heavenly Angles on this side of the world"

"Because of my grandfather… Blackheart" Peter said with a scowl "He runs the day to day operations of our clan and it was him that decided that being up here would be 'good for me'"

"And your great grandfather allowed that?" Rias said with a quirked brow "Kinda odd he's let his son put his great grandson in jeopardy like that given he's pushing for you to marry me"

"Oh my great grandfather spoke his mind in regards to being up here" Peter said in a harsh laugh as he looked Rias in the eye "But he's a guy that likes to gamble and well what better gamble then to place one of the four youngest members of our clan on earth that's populated by crazed priests from the Church and a legion of homicidal Fallen Angles and see if he'll live long enough to marry his future wife?"

"That's… quite the gamble" Rias said with a frown as she brought her legs up and rested her head on her knees.

"You do realize it's Mephisto right?" Peter said with a snort "This is the same Devil that asked the original Four Great Satans to sacrifice their own armies and even themselves in his desire to rule all of creation and try to wipe out all of the Angles, Fallen Angels and hell even some of the other Pantheons"

"I know, I'm just surprised with how careless he's being with your safety is all. My family would never knowingly place me in such danger" Rias commented with a frown.

"Yeah well that's your family" Peter said with a hint of anger in his tone "In the house of Mephisto, you either learn how to survive quick, or you die and spare the rest of us your existence…"

After that, the two settled into a rather peaceful silence. Rias took this time to better examine her future husband now that there were no real distractions around them. Appearance wise he wasn't half bad looking, he had a boyish nerdy charm to him that she found quite appealing, his personality while dark wasn't spiteful, at least not as much as it could be given his heritage, and he hasn't tried to grope her or stick his tongue down her throat like Rizer tired to do to her when they were still 'betrothed' to one another.

'By the Dark Prince that marriage would have been worse than having a Holy Sword plunged through my chest' Rias thought with a mental gag at the thought of still being promised to Rizer.

It was than that Peter stood up and turned towards Rias with a raised brow "Hungry?"

Rias blinked at him for a moment before his words registered in her mind and she nodded "Yes, a little"

Peter nodded at that as he turned towards the kitchen "Anything you would like?"

"What do you have?" Rias asked as she stood up and followed him into the kitchen.

"A bit of this, a bit of that and a wee bit of other things" Peter responded with a grin.

Rias smirked at Peter as she leaned against the doorway to the kitchen and watched as Peter opened the fridge "Well then, I'll take some of that, a few slices of this, and a couple of other things on the side"

"Your wish is my command" Peter snickered as he pulled out a few things that Rias might like.

Rias giggled before she heard a faint huff from Peter's room, causing her to tense up a little "Will Thori being joining us?"

Peter paused as he pulled out a few slices of meat to cook up and thought about it before shaking his head "Nah, I'll give him a few bones to munch on"

"Will that be enough for him?" Rias asked, she didn't want Peter to short change his familiar because she was afraid to eat next to the large Hellhound.

"It will, besides…" Peter trailed off as he glanced towards the direction of his room before leaning in close, his voice lowering as well "I was thinking of taking him hunting later for Fallen Angles"

Rias's eyes widened a little at this while Peter grinned "He oh so does love how they taste for some reason"

"Is that… wise?" Rias asked with a worried frown.

"Probably not, but come on, what are the odds that I'm going to run into a Fallen Angel with more than two wings?" Peter asked with a snort "Most of them were killed off in the War and Thori's smart enough to avoid any of the more powerful flying pigeons… for now"

Rias seemed unconvinced as Peter went about making their dinner. After a few minutes of silence, she cleared her throat to get his attention "Will you at least be safe?"

Peter stared at her for a moment before he nodded "Always am and always will… most of the time"

Rias smiled weakly at that "Just try not to get killed, rather not have to explain to my family and yours that you got beaten by a bunch of Fallen Angels"

Peter's response was a laugh as the aroma of cooked, spiced meat began to fill the kitchen as the two settled back into a comfortable silence.

…

The next day passed in much the same way it did previously for Peter. He made to enter the school before a random girl tired to stop and somehow have sex with him without saying she wanted to have sex with him, put up with Issei being a pervert, and what was worse putting up with his equally perverted friends, and listen to lectures from his teachers that he's known for years now and listen to the humans around him struggle to learn it.

Peter for the most part just went through the motions while mentally cursing his Grandfather for sending him to Earth. He was sure the bastard did it out of spite then 'wanting to improve the eventual marriage between the heirs of Mephisto and Gremory'… Blackheart inherited many things from his father, but being a good liar was not one of them.

'Starting to see why Mephisto prefers his daughter over his son now' Peter thought as he found himself sitting in the lounge area of the Occult Research Club only a hour after the school day had mercifully ended. He was waiting for Rias to show up so they could... well do something. Last night's dinner was nice and Peter was interested to see if Rias would like to go out on an actual date with him.

He glanced around the room to see if the red headed beauty had slipped in without him noticing but only saw Issei folding a stack of Fliers to distribute later tonight. Peter heard him vaguely complain about Rias being pissed off at him. this caught Peter's interest as he leaned towards the teen with a raised brow "What are you talking about?"

Issei jumped a little at the sound of Peter's voice "What?"

Peter rolled his eyes at this "You mentioned Rias being mad at you, why is that?"

Issei blinked at Peter before he adverted his gaze with a cough "Oh it's… it's nothing"

"Doesn't sound like nothing it Rias is pissed about it" Peter commented with a frown "She doesn't strike as the type to get angry easily"

Issei blushed at this as he tired to avoid the powerful Devil's gaze "It's dumb really. I mean it's not dumb, it's just the whole situation about it is dumb"

"Huh?" Peter said with a blink.

"I… I uh… I met a girl today" Issei said as he scratched the back of his head "She's real nice, also a total-"

"Issei" Peter interrupted the teen with a scowl, causing the boy to pale with a sheepish chuckle.

"Right sorry, hehehehe…" Issei felt sweat begin to build on his brow before he continued "Well anyway I ran into her we talked for a while and… well I enjoyed it"

"Okay, and why is this a problem?" Peter asked with growing impatience.

"She's a member of the church" Issei said with a dejected sigh.

Peter's eyes widened at this "Is that right?"

"Yeah…" Issei said with a nod.

Peter stared at Issei for a few moments as he mulled over what Issei said before he snorted in amusement "Smitten with a Holy girl, classic. Word of warning, opposites in this case do not attract nor do they end well"

"Yeah, I figured" Issei said sadly before Akeno suddenly appeared from behind the sofa Issei was sitting on.

"Aww don't worry Issei, I'm sure things will work out in the end. Not every romance ends in tragedy" the raven-haired beauty said with a smile while Issei jumped in surprise at the sudden appearance of Rias's queen.

Peter grinned at the scene while Issei tired to calm his heart rate down "Damn, you scared the Hell out of me"

"Sorry" Akeno giggled before the door behind her opened and Rias stepped in.

The red head was surprised to see Akeno here "Your still here? I thought you went home for the day"

Akeno stood up and turned towards her master "We just received a message from the Arc-Duke"

Rias's brows rose in surprise as she folded her arms across her chest "The Arc-Duke?"

Akeno nodded, her smile dropping as her face grew more serious "It was urgent, a Stray Devil has been causing trouble nearby"

Peter quirked a brow at this "A stray, out here?"

"Yes" Akeno nodded as she turned back towards Peter while Rias stood there, a look of deep thought on her face.

Peter hummed at that "Any idea whose it was?"

"No, but obviously they weren't a very good master if their servant went rogue like this one has" Akeno giggled.

Peter chuckled at that as he stood up "Well, let's go find it then"

It was then that Rias spoke "Actually Peter, I was wondering if you could stay here, until we get back"

Peter glanced at Rias in confusion "Uh why? Something wrong?"

"What- oh no nothing's wrong" Rias said as she cleared her throat before she gestured towards Issei "I was hoping to use this as a learning opportunity for Issei and well… wouldn't be much of a learning opportunity if you kill the Stray right off the bat"

"Isn't that the point?" Peter asked with a snort.

Rias nodded "Yes, but I want to see how he'll stack up against a Stray"

At this Issei gulped "Um, can we hold a vote on whether he can come or not, because I vote yes!"

Peter glanced at Issei for a moment before he sighed "Fiiine, I'll let you guys go and have all the fun while I sit here and twiddle with my thumbs until you get back"

Rias gave Peter an apologetic smile "Sorry Peter, if you want I can make it up for you later"

At this Akeno giggled "Ooh I bet he'll love that"

Rias shook her head in exasperation at her friends comment while Peter simply fell back on to the couch and made himself comfortable "Well go on then, that Stray isn't going to kill itself anytime soon"

"It shouldn't take long, I promise" Rias said as she gestured for Akeno to go and get the others ready.

Akeno nodded as she turned and left the room while Issei glanced at Rias with a nervous expression "So what are Stray Devils exactly?"

"You'll see" Peter said as he rested his hands behind his head "But basically Devils' servants that killed their masters and struck out on their own. Those old stories you here about demons terrorizing people and stuff, that's usually them after they escape from the Underwolrd and end up here"

"Oh… sounds great" Issei paled a little as the image of some demonic monster came to mind.

"Yep" Peter said with a nod "Me personally, I've only ever dealt with like three"

"Only three?" Rias said with surprise "I thought you would've dealt with dozens by now"

At this Peter smirked darkly "Rias, who in their right mind would ever try to betray anyone in my House?"

"Point" Rias said with a nod before she gestured for Issei to follow her "Come along Issei, the others will be waiting"

"Yes ma'am" Issei said as he went to stand before he heard Peter's voice.

"Issei!"

The Pawn paused mid stride before he glanced back at Peter "Yes…?"

Peter stared at Issei for several moments before he spoke "Try not to be too embarrassing out there"

Issei's brow twitched a little at that "…Sure"

"Good" Peter said as he waved the Devil away "And for the love of all that is Unholy, don't get distracted by the Stray's assets"

"What do you mean by that?" Issei asked with confusion.

"Trust me, you'll know what I'm talking about" Peter sighed before he leveled a serious look towards the slightly younger teen "So don't get distracted or you'll end up dead or worse"

Issei gulped at this "W-What's worse than death?"

Peter was silent for a moment as he held the teen's gaze before he adverted his gaze and shrugged "You'd be surprised…"

And with that, Issei nodded before he followed Rias outside where the rest of her Peerage had gathered. After several minutes, and sensing that they were gone, Peter let out a sigh "You can come out now, their gone"

To his right, in a shadowy corner of the room, Felicia suddenly emerged, her movements light and graceful, like a cat's. The white-haired beauty smiled as she placed a hand on her hip "Finally, it was starting to get cramped in there"

Peter looked behind towards the shadowy corner she emerged from "Really? Looks spacious to me"

"It appears that Rias's brother is monitoring his baby sister with a few Devil Servants, some of which are using the shadows to watch her" Felicia said with an eye roll "Don't know why they can't just stalk her through social media like everyone else"

Peter hummed at that before he settled into the sofa "So, what do you think of Rias's new Pawn?"

"Issei?" Felicia said, her nose scrunching up "I've seen better. And his perverse tendencies are really starting to get on my nerves"

"He's sixteen and human- err was human. What do you expect?" Peter chuckled as Felecia huffed.

"So? I'm sixteen and you don't see me drooling over every piece of hot ass in view" the white haired Devil said as she folded her arms under her bust.

Peter quirked a brow at her remark "Could have fooled me"

Felicia gave Peter a small grin "There's a difference between infatuation and being a pervert"

Peter nodded at that before he suddenly remembered something "Did you remember to-"

"Yeeeeees, I made sure your doors and windows were locked and that Thori was fed before coming here" Felicia said as she stared at Peter in amusement "I swear, without me you'd be hopeless"

"That's part of the reason I made you my Queen" Peter said with a grin.

"And here I thought it was because I'm hot, sexually interested in you, and somehow find a way to put up with your lame ass jokes" Felicia laughed as she sat beside Peter and leaned back against the sofa.

"Heeeey my jokes are awesome!" Peter whined as Felicia broke out into another laugh.

"Keep telling yourself that handsome, keep telling yourself that…"

…

And done.

Next chapter, Peter against his better judgement decides to accompany Issei on a seemingly simple errand…
