Chapter 2

Daddy Dearest

Daken looked around at his new surroundings, startled by what just happened. Did they just teleport? "Okay, what the Hell was that?" he yelled, looking at the other kids.

Then he realized where they were. They were in a living room. Well, not his living room, but someone's living room. "Okay, answers now!"

The shotgun girl stepped up to him, gun at her side. "My name is Diversus. But, call me Div. Oh, and I'm Lucifer's daughter." Div turned and pointed to the other two. "That's Mindy and Danny. Twins of Gabriel, the Arch Angel. And you-" she stepped even closer to him, almost in his face. "You are Daken, son of Michael the Arch Angel.

Daken's green eyes widened. "What is this? Some kind of joke? Am I on "Punked" or something? You really expect me to believe that you are all kids of Angels? Me included?"

The three of them all sighed and disappeared, reappearing behind him.

"Believe us now?" Danny asked, a smug grin on his face.

Thoughts raced through Daken's head. All of this was a lot to take in. So first, Angels were real. Second, his father was Michael, the Michael. Arch Angel and all. "Oh my God, it's true, isn't it?"

They all nodded. This actually wasn't that bad. At least he knew who his Dad was now. But what was the feeling he had in math? The feeling of evil when Mrs. Turner attacked him? "Who was that who tried to attack me? You said she was a Demon? And she said something about my Dad being in a cage. What does that mean?" he asked, his eyes fixed on them.

Mindy stepped up this time, taking her sandy blonde hair out of her ponytail. "Yes, she was possessed by a Demon. She's okay though, we just killed the Demon inside her, no harm done to her…well except for maybe the rock salt shell that Div shot at her. But she won't die from that. As for Michael being in the cage…" Mindy looked at Div, as if wanting her to explain that part.

Div sighed. "About a year ago the Apocalypse started. Lucifer and Michael were supposed to have a prize fight, which would result in about half the world being destroyed. But just as the fight was about to start, two guys, monster hunters, opened up Lucifer's cage again and Michael and Daddy dearest fell in."

Daken nodded, letting it soak in. "So, let me just sum this up. Angels, Demons, and monsters are real, Michael the Arch Angel is my father, the Apocalypse already happened, and my Dad and Lucifer are stuck in some cage in Hell."

They all nodded, Div cringed at that last part. Must be hard being the child of the Devil.

"Who wants cookies?" A voice called from another room. A few seconds later, a lady with lone blonde hair and blue eyes came into the living room with a plate of cookies.

"Thanks Mom!" Mindy and Danny said at the same time.

"Thanks Mrs. Baker." Div said and they all took a cookie.

Mrs. Baker turned and looked a Daken, a smile appearing on her face.

"You must be Daken, Michael's son! It's so nice to finally meet you!" she said and put the plate up to his face. "Want one?"

Daken was tempted to take a cookie, but his stomach thought otherwise. "No thanks, maybe later. It's…uh…nice to meet you too, I guess."

Mrs. Baker nodded, still smiling. Her smile made Daken want to smile. It was freaking contagious.

"Are those cookies I smell?" a voice said. He turned around to see a man, somewhat short, with the same sandy blonde hair as Mindy and Danny.

"Dad!" Mindy and Danny said at the same time, running up to hug their father.

It took a few seconds for Daken to piece everything together. "You're Gabriel?" he asked.

Gabriel nodded, taking a bite out of a cookie. "The one and only!"

His grin slowly faded when he seemed to realize who he was.

"You're Mike's son." He said, stepping closer to him. "I heard about you." He tussled his hair. "Even though you are the son of my dick head brother, you seem to be alright."

Daken nodded. "Uh…thanks, I guess." He couldn't believe that he was talking to an Arch Angel. Though, he wasn't what he pictured. No fluffy white wings, no halo. He looked completely human. I guess he thought they would be more…cuddly?

Gabriel glared at him. "I can read minds. And I can be cuddly if I want to." He grinned while Div, Mindy, and Danny laughed.

Daken tried to hide his red face, embarrassed.

"Hey, Daken!" Danny said, walking up to him, Mindy at his side, with a small box.

"We got you something." Mindy said, smiling. She handed him the box.

"Thanks guys. You shouldn't of. I've only known you for about ten minutes." Daken said, slowly opening the corners of the box.

"Well, we've known of you for longer." Danny said, matching his sister's grin.

Daken nodded and finally got the box open. All of a sudden some green goo splattered him in the face.

"Ugh! What the Hell!" he said, trying to get it off his face.

Mindy, Danny, and Gabriel were all laughing hysterically. Gabriel went up and high fived his kids. "Classic!" he said between laughs.

Div approached him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "You just got pranked." She said, holding back a laugh.

"They are so much like you, Gabe, it's almost scary." Div said, helping Daken out with the goo.

This was going to be a long day.
