"No, no, no. I'm not staying over night. I don't care that Penguin could probably kill the demon, I don't care that you'll be there, there's no way I'm going to stay at your house. Not with that demon there." Sophie stammered.
"C'mon. Please? I'll lock you in a room with a seal on it if you're that scared."
"Would you?"
"Of course. After Ozzy gets over me bringing a demon home with me, he'll probably be too out of it to really mind me using magic. Not that he really does anyway..."
"OkaAAAYY! Virgo. It moved..." Sophie whispered, hugging Virgo's waist in an attempt to get further away.
"Calm down. You're fine. He won't wake up for ages."
"Only if you're sure. I don't want him to cut out my organs or anything..."
"Ehh, Sophie. Really. I promise."
"Okay then. I trust you," She let go of Virgo, but stayed as far away from the thing as she could. "What will people think when they see a demon. You could be ruined forever and I may loose my job if they rope me into the murders..."
"Nonsense. They can't see him."
"Then why can I?"
"Because you're inside my "bubble" if you will. If you are away from me for too long, you won't be able to see them either. Well, I can change that, but that's the way I am now. To benefit everyone." Explained Virgo
"Oh." Was all the attorney could think of.
They arrived at Cobblepot Manor in no time at all. What happened next was an interesting thing to behold.
"VIRGOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Ozzy
"What honey bear?"
"There. Is. A. DEMON. IN MY LIVING ROOM."
"For the moment anyway."
"W-what?" That caught him off guard.
"Only for right now."
"What are you going to do with it?"
"You mean you're not surprised? Just angry?" Jumped in Sophie.
"Not really, I mean, I know Virgo...and well, it was only a matter of time really. I just don't want the damn thing in my living room."
"It won't be, don't worry."
Oswald stared back at the two girls. "I hope you're right..". He trailed off then looked at Sophie. "You're spending the night, I take it?"
"Yes"
"Well, it's not like me and Virgo were doing anything anyway..not this late with a DEMON in the house.."
The prosecutor made a face. "That's very wonderful information". Her slightly disturbed sarcasm was barely concealed.
Ozzy leaned over and kissed Virgo's cheek. "'Night Sugar Pie. I'm going to bed now and trying NOT to have nightmares about that thing". He gestured to the demon slumped over sleepily on the floor.
"Okay". The ginger-haired girl nuzzled her lover's cheek. "Don't let the demons bite"
"Don't even, sweetie, just don't".
Sophie turned to her friend as her pseudo brother-in-law made his way to the bedroom. "Do you think he'll wake up before we do?"
"Knowing Ozzy, if he has anything planned for tomo-" Virgo cut herself off, looking at Sophie. "Ohhhhhh...you mean the DEMON.. right! I SO knew that..." She blushed a bit and smiled sheepishly. "I don't know. Possibly. But don't worry about him breaking free of the ropes. I strengthened it, with a little bit o' magic".
"I still won't be able to sleep much.."
"Me neither. But-" Virgo stopped mid sentence to yawn. "But we can have a fresh start in the morning"
"Good point". Sophie's eyelids drooped a bit. "I could use the sleep". She yawned, and then put an arm around her friend. "Good night. I'm one sleepy prosecutor".
Virgo rubbed her tired gray eyes. "You need me to help you find a room?"
"No, I remember where your old one is. 'G'night".
"Night Sophie! Sleep ti-" Virgo yawned once again. "Yeah, whatever, just sleep".
