AN: Here goes more of the Angel of Death series, more of a sidestory this time focusing on Faith.
From Glimpses
JWolf: It's more of a case that he was interested, and he has plans on entering the fight with a full force, after all, with only a few people you can't really use a whole lot of the tech he has, most of the capital ships require quite a few and other than Interceptors, he needs fighter pilots. And he has basically been given government support for what he's doing without the controls of a government operated agency.
From An Angels Regret
GrimMoody: Most of it was more of a focus on Azrael himself, someone who I feel an odd connection to, first from when I played him and now when he's someone I write about. He's someone I understand.
The Sithspawn: Yeah, she is, and that is one of the things that makes his views even more unique. He's someone who lost a lot and he shows it, 7 steps past the breaking point and still going, without his emotional control, he'd either be a raving psychotic, a completely loony, or catatonic. And yet he has the mental strength to keep on.
He'd become a killer for her, Faith thought, or was it that he had killed for her.
He was an angel on earth, a force of divine destruction capable of destroying everything he'd encountered so far. Abilities that scared her, ones that had demons running to her for protection from the angel of destruction that walked the streets like mere mist until he struck.
A force of nature, something that even gods feared. And apparently he had enough of a reputation that even the Coucil's wetworks teams had decided that running for their lives was the best course.
Not that she blamed them after witnessing what was best described as Pulling a Vader and choking the life out of one of them, or when he turned a broken window into a maelstrom of death that left one a sniper half a mile away looking like he had jumped into a meat grinder and then detonated.
He defended her when she didn't deserve it, she was a killer, a murderer, but he wasn't, a casual killer perhaps, but each kill he made was for a purpose, protecting those he saw as friends.
Power was something that easily flowed from him, and it both drew her to him and yet terrified her more than anything at the same time. The slayer doesn't know how to react to a human with more power through something that doesn't involve magic. And Azrael was a force beyond mere power, a god made flesh.
Her mind fought while she was there, fighting to make a choice, fight, flight, or something else.
And in the end, she chose to flee, running to LA, in order to avoid the decision itself.
A lone wolf doesn't always feel glee when it no longer needs to be alone.
But it didn't end there, he came and found her, and everything changed.
He was someone so much like her, he felt the darkness in a way that felt like her own.
And for once since she was little, did she feel safe, after all, who better to protect you than the Angel of Death himself?
