"We need to get out of the apartment"

It has been a week already for Adam. A week since he was pulled out of Lucifer's Cage. A week since Michael promised to watch him. A week since he started to live with Michael. Basically a domestic life with an archangel. It couldn't get any weirder.

But being cooped up in an apartment wasn't doing favors for Adam. He wanted to go out the day after they moved into the apartment, but Michael said it was to dangerous. Adam tried again, but was once again stopped by Michael.

After a week of begging he couldn't take it anymore.

"C'mon Michael. Can we please go out, I can't stand just being in this apartment" Adam begged.

Michael was sitting in chair next to the kitchen table eating lunch he mojo upped. Adam was sitting across him also eating. Adam wondered why Michael was eating since he didn't conventional needs to sustain himself. Michael merely said he wanted the 'human experience'.

Michael swallowed the burger meat that he chewing before taking in a breath.

"Very well Adam" Michael started.

Adam started to smile when Michael continued "We will do something, but I have to keep an eye on you."

Adam just grinned at Michael.

Adam would always deny it, but he was really a shopaholic. He would deny it to anyone who hasn't seen him shop. And the only people who have seen him shop was his mother and Michael.

Everyone expected Adam's mother to be a shopaholic, but it was really Adam who maxed out their credit cards.

Adam and Michael were inside a mall Michael found. Adam secretly thanked Michael's powers since he was able to make money. It wasn't counterfeit since it was legal money. Made by an archangel. Michael started to question Adam's moral faculties with shopping.

The moment that they entered Adam made a beeline towards the different shops. Michael simply followed Adam like a puppy. He watched Adam go to rack after rack of clothes since according to him "I can't stay in the clothes you made me. I would feel like I was taking advantage of you."

When Michael said he was going to the bookstore Adam came with him since he wanted to buy something there. Michael didn't see Adam buy loads of comics.

They were currently sitting in the food court eating snacks. Michael saw that Adam had four bags with him and that didn't count the five bags Adam made Michael carry.

The four bags had clothes for Adam while the five other bags had clothes for Michael. Michael saw that Adam mostly bought him leather jackets and collared shirts. There were a few jeans and even a pair of shoes.

In Adam's bags it had jackets, but not leather. There were also a few shirts, jeans and shoes. Michael saw that most of the bags contents were comics.

"Why do you have so much comics" he asked.

Adam looked up from the fries he was devouring to look at Michael. He started to rub the back of his neck with emberassment.

"Oh...you see when I was just a little boy I really liked comic books" Adam said

Michael nodded when Adam continued.

"I didn't really like fairytales so my mom..." He trailed off.

"You don't have to talk about it Adam" Michael said.

"No I want to. I didn't really like fairytales so my mom read me comic books. I really liked the superheroes and their stories. So I bought these so I can read about them again."

Michael nodded and they ate in silence.

Adam was sitting alone in the food court. He was sitting alone since Michael took all the bags and disapeared to the apartment so Adam can have more time at the mall. Michael told him to pray to him when he wanted to go. Afam realized Michael wanted to give him space after mentioning his mother.

Adam didn't want to be alone since it reminded him he was really alone. He stood up and started to walk around the mall.

Adam saw the families and he started to hurt. 'That was supposed to be my life' he thought.

He saw the sons and daughters of happy couples, the group of friends that were laughing and talking. He envied them since he wanted that life, but no he had to have the life that had monsters in it.

When Adam couldn't take it anymore he prayed for Michael.

'Michael please come and get me. Take me home. Please.'

Adam was close to tears when he heard a rustle of wings. It was Michael. He was thankful he was in an area without anyone but him.

"Adam are you okay" Michael asked

"Yeah...I'm okay" Adam said while trying to wipe away the tears that threatened to spill.

"You're crying"

Adam looked away from Michael for just a moment. "Just take me home Michael. Please."

Michael nodded and took Adam's hand. They disapeared.

Flying for Adam was an experience. He felt himself be pushed from the ground and felt the air of the skies. It lasted for only a moment and he found himself at the apartment.

Adam turned to Michael and hugged him. He returned the gesture.

"Thank you so much" Adam said. He realized he said that so many times.

"You're welcome"

When they seperated Adam went to his room and saw that all the stuff he bought were all neatly unpacked.

Adam read a few comics before realizing it was close to ten already. He started to prepare for sleep. He didn't notice Michael was gone.

When Michael realized Adam wasn't leaving his room he left to go to his other home. Heaven.

He knew he had to avoid other angels since it would draw attention to Adam. He walked along the axis of Heaven and went to the personal Heaven of a person Adam knew personally. His mother.

He saw Kate Milligan's heaven. She was wearing a dress with an apron and was making what seemed to be breakfast when a shout from upstairs got her attention.

"Mommy" a voice said

Michael saw a seven year old Adam Milligan. He was wearing a t-shirt with the Batman logo and shorts. He ran barefoot until he reached his mother. He hugged her.

"What's wrong Adam" she asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to hug you" The small Adam said while grinning.

Kate laughed and told him to go back upstairs and play. He ran to his room and shut door.

Michael then found himself being stared at by one Kate Milligan.

"Are you an angel" she asked

"Yes, Ms. Milligan. I am an angel. I come asking a favor from you" Michael said.

Kate grinned and nodded. "I am an angel whose duty is to watch your son Adam."

Kate looked up and Michael saw that she was happy, knowing her son was still alive.

"Adam is alive" she said with a suprising tone.

"Yes and I need your help"

"Yes what can I do"

"Your son misses you and he almost broke down today. He has broken down in the past, but I can't stand to see him so sad. So I wish to take you to his dreams so he can see you one more time. And yes Adam knows about me."

Kate nodded with understanding. "Very well I will go, but can I atleast get your name."

Michael stiffened, he didn't want to be discovered so he told her first the story so far (Hehehe...show reference) about how he is the archangel Michael and blah blah blah Adam is out of hell. He was slapped after that. It didn't hurt but it stung him inside.

"I am mad, but I am thankful since you decided to watch him Michael" Kate said after slapping him "I will go with you then if it is to see my son". Michael was rubbing the cheek that was slapped with his right hand.

"Thank you and I know I deserved that. So one more thing, please don't reveal I was here. The last thing I want is for angels to go after Adam."

"Yes I will keep your secret"
