"Aughhh! The giant winged monsters are attacking us!" Adam made some screeches and non-human noises as the ducks in the pond quickly gobble up the pieces of bread he threw into the pond a couple of seconds ago. He tossed some more dry pieces of bread into the murky pond water and the ducks' eagerly awaiting mouths. Dog happily barked at the curiously floating beasts, nibbling on some stray crumbs that Adam drops after throwing the bread pieces. It was a beautiful sunny day at St. James' park. A few families were having a picnic or taking a lazy stroll.
They had decided, with lots of grumbling from Crowley, to take Gabriel with them. Aziraphale had this uneasiness deep down that wouldn't go away. He had a feeling that leaving Gabriel at Crowley's home wasn't safe, despite Gabriel still in an unresponsive state. Gabriel sat in his wheelchair where Crowley had placed him, far away but not too far away so they could keep a comfortable eye on him.
Aziraphale was so deep in the book he had brought with him that the hand on his shoulder made him jump, "Oh--Crowley! You gave me a fright!"
A wide grin was placed on those perfect lips as Crowley plopped down onto the bench next to Aziraphale, his limbs spread out over the hardwood, "Lovely day isn't it Angel? I thought a change in scenery was in order."
Aziraphale chuckled, "A lot has happened in the last twenty-four hours. We all needed a place to unwind." Crowley agreed as he and Aziraphale watched Adam continue to chuck bread into the water with an air of serenity. It was such a beautiful day.

A couple of sleek black cars drive up to a very modern, grey boxy house. It didn't look like anyone has lived there for years, with the state of the front garden. Dried vines were crawling up the walls and the crumbling stone entrance, with one stone seemingly holding everything up. Skeletons of plants in cracked pots littered the little courtyard. Green algae stained the once white marble fountain; the little angel on top cracked in places and missing a nose. Men in black suits exit the vehicles and immediately search the courtyard, strange-looking pistols in hand. A beautiful woman with her long dark wavy hair pulled up in a tight bun exited the vehicle, her dark purple silk dress swooshing against her ankles. Anathema fixed the glasses on her nose and walked to the entrance of the courtyard, a massive book in her hands opened to a certain page.
"He should be here..."
"Mam?" One of the black-suited men greeted her with a tiny salute, "The courtyard is clear. On your command, we will have our men enter the facility."
Anathema sighs, "Alright. Go on." The black-suited man signaled his men and they immediately circled the front door. The paint was chipping away and the door was slightly crooked. The black-suited man nodded once and two of his men rammed their shoulders against the door. Once. Twice. Th--
BAM. One of the pistols went off, shooting a light arrow into the sky. The light arrow burst into a colorful puff of smoke. Anathema's men sank to the ground in terror from the look she was giving them while she crossed her arms. The puff of smoke dissipated and a fake giant snake's head towered over the black-suited men; its crazy red eyes bouncing on the springs it's attached to.
"Why do I pay these idiots." Anathema seethed, swishing her hand in the air. The giant snake exploded into confetti, hissing as it deflated.
"Mam," One of the men in black came over and whispered into the Queen's ear, "You might want to see this."
Xxxxxxx
"We need to get rid of him."
"Crowley," Aziraphale tutted, blue eyes never leaving the snake tattoo under Crowley's magnificent sideburn, "We've been over this."
With a flick of a snake tongue towards Gabriel's direction, Crowley's yellow eyes squinted even harder behind his sunglasses, if it could even possibly do that, "Adam! Let's go!" Snapping his fingers, one of the ducks sunk into the water like a lead balloon.
Adam clapped his hands, glaring at the smug look Crowley was sporting as the duck came back to the surface. The duck shared the same look as Adam before it flew off (to another part of the lake one presumes). Adam, Dog, and Crowley all made their way back to the shiny black Bentley awaiting them, with Aziraphale wheeling Gabriel in tow. A lovely outing indeed.

"No one seems to have lived here for decades." The man in the black suit exclaimed to the Queen as he held the creaky old door open, daring to fall off its hinges. The once polished ebony floor is now a faded grey color and there are /many/ broken plant pots littering the place. An eerily silence fell over them, despite the echoes of her men searching the building. Anathema stumbled over a few broken tiles as her heeled shoes shuffled through the dust and rubble. She slammed her massive book onto the only table occupying the room; some cracked massive table that had intricately carved legs, creating a cloud of dust.
"I swear... How could we have missed them??"
Xxxxxxx
"You did install the 'Royal Trap Section 3: Giant Snake'?"
"No, I made it ev'n better."
"Really?"
"I gave it googly eyes." Adam shrugged nonchalantly.
People looked up, wide-eyed. Even babies stopped what they were crying about as they heard Crowley's shiny black snakeskin shoes screeching to a halt.
"You /WHAT??/" Crowley hissed, dragging his fingers down the sides of his face. His yellow eyes were wide with rage.
"I gave it googly eyes. You should thank me. It looked like a disaster."
Steam was coming out of Crowley's ears as his face contorted, almost snake-like.
A quiet gasp from behind was like a balm to Crowley's entire being. A warm hand melted his rage and turned his face back into more human-like.
"Crowley, what happened?" Those big blue eyes could suck anyone into their cooling depths, and Crowley seemed to be one of them. They stared at each other, lost in the deep blues of the ocean as the sun touched its horizon--
"Master Crowley didn't like my idea." Adam's voice cut the (pleasant) tension like butter, souring Crowley's mood once again.
"And what idea was that, my dear?" Aziraphale's eyebrows creased with worry as he glanced from Adam to Crowley.
"I put googly eyes on his giant monst--"
"Look, it doesn't matter! Let's go home!" Crowley grumbled, stomping away as Adam and Aziraphale laughed behind him.
Xxxxxxx
"There doesn't seem to be a sign of anyone here." One of the men in black muttered to the other man in black as they looked into a dusty closet that had cobwebs and moths flying about.
"I know. That book of hers...I don't trust that book one bit."
"Oh right, you haven't worked with her for very long." He scratched at the stubble on his chin in thought, "the book is very accurate--rightfully named 'The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter'...but it seems that the prophecies only come true when they already have happened."
"Have you read the book?"
"No one has. She's the only one that can read it, but even then the prophecies are very cryptic..."
Anathema was flipping through the massive book again when she felt a faint rumbling. She brushed it off, rolling her eyes at the thought of too many cars on the road outside this falling apart establishment when she heard yelling in the other room.
"What the..." What she saw she didn't predict as she watched her men get tangled up in extremely fast-growing plants.
"Mam! We have to move!" Strong arms wrapped around her as grass and ferns were starting to grab onto her shoes. Once a barren, broken home now a lush green jungle. Anathema swore she even saw parrots flying around as she and her men struggle to get to the exit. After what felt like days, they managed to stumble out of the place. As they tried to catch their breaths they watched a tree burst from the roof.
"Holy mother of--" One of the men shouted.
"I've read about this somewhere in the--" Anathema's eyes widened when she looked down into her empty hands, "Fuck..."
"Mam?" Another of her men quietly spoke after a few beats of silence, watching her warily as Anathema paced back and forth.
"I...misplaced the book." She muttered through gritted teeth.
