Gabriel hadn't expected much from Asmodeus. After all, he had been around to see the Prince of Hell's creation, saw him develop from a pompous, childish boy. He had been on this earth long enough to know of the Darkness being locked away. Archangels were the most powerful, most feared beings to exist.
So what could Asmodeus do? Torture him? Gaslight him? He was overly familiar with every tactic, imagined and unimagined. No matter what happened, his power would return. He could wait it out. He wasn't truly powerless, and never would be.
Oh, and how wrong he'd been.
