The road so far...

...

Crowley and Kevin

"Abaddon is starting something we may not be able to prevent."

"What do you mean?"

"An uprising."

...

Michael and Balthazar

"I am exiling myself, so you don't have to. Give your boys my regards."

"Proceed, Balthazar, and survive well in the Outskirts."

Gabriel entered with his brother Lucifer, their respective charges following with their heads bowed in respect. Though, neither harbored any true respect for Michael. After an awkward greeting between Lucifer, Gabriel, and their parents, the two wards were dismissed to do as they wished.

Charlie pulled Jeremiah aside, eyeing him with a knowing grin.

"Have you kissed yet?"

"W-what?"

"You and Gabby, have you? Or- you know, further."

"Charlie. I'm only seventeen." he hissed, embarrassed.

Her eyes flashed with mirth, "Yeah, well the humans get knocked up at age 14. Albeit have to by law but... What's stopping you?"

"Haven't found the right person?" he said unsurely.

"Gabby fits the bill."

"No, I will not-"

"Those Old World studies have got your head on backwards. There's no need to be afraid now. Liking boys isn't a bad thing."

"But my dad said-"

"Your dad's not here. This world functions just fine with those who like their own gender, they have a system for it. If you like him, pursue him, before someone else does."

"I guess you're right, Charlie."

"Pssh, of course I'm right. Now, let's go out and do something."

"Like what?"

"Well, if you wouldn't hate me too much for it. I'm over my broken heart and I need a wingman."

"You haven't been here an hour and you already saw someone?"

"A girl on the ride here, she was gorgeous. Please, Jer. I need to get my mind off of Charles."

"I told you she was trouble," Jeremiah muttered, allowing Charlie to lead him towards the main staircase.

"You did, and I didn't listen. But that doesn't matter. I knew she had her doubts going in. It was fun while it lasted."

"You know, you're right. Screw my dad, Gabe is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me and I need him."

Walking through the front doors of the mansion, Charlie's arm looped through his, "Believe me, Jer. He needs you too."

Michael was the first to speak, his form embraced by Arya beaming it's rusty colors through the window.

"I've called this meeting because I heard you and Mother were in town, so I assumed you would like to comment on our work done in your absence."

Metatron's smile was sweet, as it had been before Balthazar's news, "I am very proud of the three of you, you have all done an amazing job."

"Thank you, Father. Now, since that has been settled. What shall I do with the bastard Castiel?"

Walking through the city, people met their eyes, unafraid of the young angels. Charlie found herself explaining all the in's and out's of the breeding requirements to Jeremiah, who never actually cared about the subject until Charlie's comment beforehand.

"Yeah, so like I said before; same-sex couples are totally game. Let me give you the skinny on that. The same-sex couples break off into quads and 'breed' so the gene lines will continue. The practice is not unusual and government-condoned since Metatron's time. For example, let's say there's Couple A: Alex and Emily then there's Couple B: Jude and Connor. Alex will have a child with Connor to fulfill Couple A's 'breeding' requirement. Couple A keeps the baby, and once the quota comes around for Couple B, the favor will be returned."

Jeremiah nodded, eyes watching everyone as Charlie spoke.

"Oh, asexuals- I forgot to mention their breeding role! How silly of me. They are the city's caregivers and orphanage Parents. They are not required to breed. Like Michael's police force, they all live together in one facility and take care of children and make house calls in case of urgency. They're the backbone of keeping the children population afloat. If a child is orphaned, then one of the Parents take care of them all in one place. The caregivers do routine inspections of conditions to insure family health and safety as well as making sure there are no signs of abuse."

Jeremiah's back ached, his stitches pulling, and Charlie stopped with a pained look on her face.

"I'm sorry, that was insensitive of me."

"No it wasn't, you didn't mean it that way. Come on, let's hurry and meet this girl. Before it gets too late."

Charlie nodded, nervously wrapping both hands around the boy's bicep, "I hope she likes me."

Kevin leaned forward, hissing through clenched teeth, "What the hell do you mean 'an uprising'?!"

"I mean, darling boy, that if my theory is correct- then she has the same idea as Michael did when he created his own black market. To create the best machine, you must work on the inside, unnoticed. Meaning she's getting someone to do her dirty work and there's a very low chance of angels surviving if the humans rise up against us. We are just as human as they are, Kev- If you prick us, do we not bleed? This would not end well for anyone. There would be no government, no order, and these cities would be piled high with walls of corpses."

A.N.

Just a clarification. I did say I don't condone "underage" sex. That still stands. But I should be clear.

When I said sex I was well aware that their "breeding" age starts at 14 but the reason why the age starts so young is to correlate with puberty ages. It is "obligatory" but only for those who have both hit puberty (it's different for each gender and individual). The 'breeding' is done to create a workforce, and the breeding can be excused if the girl cannot physically bear the baby without bodily harm or if the boy's family already has the maximum amount of occupants in his household (6).

This is just a story, so my personal morality is entirely separate from that.

(Plus, I've read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and studied Freud at one point so the whole underage sexuality thing is totally unfazing to me. Boku no Pico is just wrong though, tbh. Anyhow, I don't understand sex anyway cuz I'm asexual soooo take this and shove it xD)
