Temptation comes in pairs

A/N: Welcome back to Chapter 3, so as I noticed my phone (As this is what I am writing it on) has auto corrected sexual to serial in my last authors note so apologies. It may happen occasionally and I do try my best to pick them up so I'm sorry if it seems a little bit wrong.

Chapter 3 – The big reveal...

Averza was awoken by a loud and insistent knocking at her door and she groaned as her eyes fluttered open. She was still sat in the shower, the water now luke warm and was still very much naked. She hadn't moved since last nights antics and didn't want to move now but she knew if she didn't attend to the knocking it would only get louder. She wrapped a bath robe around her and tied it at the waste and walked to the door. Glancing through the peep hole revealed Aziraphale and Crowley stood there and she groaned and undid the chain looking at them. Aziraphale blushed and averted his gaze whilst Crowley didn't even give her a second glance. "Why are you practically breaking down my door this early in the morning Aziraphale?" Aziraphale hopped from one foot to the other, his anticipation rolling off him in waves "Can we come in dear? We ned talk." Averza grumbled and opened the door to let them both in and she caught her brothers funny look at the hickey on her neck and she pulled the bath robe further up, hoping to hide the marks.

She glanced at the clock on the wall and groaned, an hour is all they had before Gabriel would arrive again. "Make it quick, got things to do" she droned out, hoping to deter his enthusiasm but it didn't seem to work. "I'm sorry to intrude dear but we have big news, we believe we know where the Antichrist is, do you want to come with us?" Averza was about to speak when the door knocked again and she bristled as she recognised the scent. She pushed Aziraphale and her brother into the walk in wardrobe and hissed "Keep quiet, and don't come out regardless of what you hear." And with that she walked to the door as it miraculously opened revealing Gabriel, Sandalphon and Michael. She groaned internally as she had wished she'd been more dressed and glared at Gabriel. "Well come on in, I'm certainly not conducting this business on my doorstep." And with that she stalked into the living area not once looking at the dining table. "So any development?" Gabriel practically purred as he strode in confident. Averza trembled at how close he sounded and bit her lip, puncturing it "No, but what exactly were you expecting? I cant exactly perform miracles" with this she spun but as she was about to lunge Michael and Sandalphon gripped her arms and she winced at their vice like grip.

Gabriel used the butt end of his umbrella to lift her chin and looked at her eyes, still pertaining some of the flame in her soul and smirked "Now demon, watch your venomous words. I asked you to find information and tempt the boy, we have two days until Armageddon and if he doesn't start it...well its your life on the line. I figured you'd need incentive to help so Michael brought a special present." And with that he nodded to Michael who pushed a spot in her spine to make her wings appear and moved behind her as Gabriel gripped her arm that Michael was holding. She struggled as she felt heat behind her and turned to see the once legendary flaming sword of Aziraphale in Michael's hand and sheer terror crossed her face. A weapon like this could truly kill her and she struggled more desperately now. Michael brought the weapon down and branded her back with the sword, leaving quite the outline of the sword on her back and she screamed in pain.

Aziraphale was rooted to the spot he'd been shoved into as Averza's screams echoed around the flat and he felt sick to his stomach. He'd sensed Gabriel and the others when they walked in and now he feared they'd all be caught. However the angels didn't seem to notice their presence as they began what was effectively torture and he scrunched up. How could this be classed as angelic or right? Crowley was staring ahead, unmoving and unblinking as he listened to his sister scream, he seemed to be caught in some kind of flashback and Aziraphale decided that for now it was safer for him to be there than here. He peered through the cracks in the walk in wardrobe to see Gabriel looming over Averza, a small blade in hand as he whispered something so low even he couldn't hear but it made Averza tremble. Soon they left and Aziraphale sat, not sure if it was safe to walk out and check on her. Crowley seemed to come back to reality at that moment and burst out of the closet and towards his sister, Aziraphale not too far behind him.

Averza was exhausted, knelt on the floor and utterly drained as she tried to nurse the her wings back into the ethereal plane. She stood shaking as her brother ran over and began his lecture on why and how and what the fuck was happening and she groaned and pushed him out the way reaching for the living room cupboard in which held her alcohol. "Crowley dear, let her explain instead of just spouting off questions..." Aziraphale pleaded and Crowley sighed and sat on her couch as Averza settled in the chair opposite and Aziraphale sat next to Crowley. She poured three glasses of Macallan 1926 and looked into the dark liquid. "Its blackmail pure and simple, nothing more to it. They want to start Armageddon early and Gabriel is finding any way possible to secure it early." Crowley growled, he knew there was more to this but Aziraphale placed his hand over Crowley's and his anger vanished as he took in the bruised neck and distant look his sister wore. "Can I have a look dear, I may be able to heal the wound since it was once my sword." Averza shuddered at the thought, another person seeing the marks, the canvas for rape she had become but she knew Aziraphale wouldn't hurt her like Gabriel had so shrugged off the bathrobe and turned away as he walked over cautiously and traced the scorch mark on her back.

Crowley noted the red lines crossing her back and the bite sized bruises on her entire body and bristled "He raped you didn't he? What power is he holding over you?' Averza felt the tears, the fear and the shame rise and she lowered her head "He filmed it, said he'd take it down to Hell and show everyone. They don't take kindly to fraternising down in Hell so you know I'd be punished for sure". And with that she cried, quiet sobs that racked her body as Aziraphale tried to soothe the pain of the burn. Crowley gripped the glasses in his hand and snapped them in two angry and ready to kill.

Two days later (one discorporation on Aziraphale's end) they were on the motorway to Tadfield, ready to find the Antichrist and hopefully put a stop to Armageddon. Averza sat silent, choosing to wear a long turtle neck with no sleeves in her signature crimson and a pair of loose jeans and her leather bikers jacket draped around her shoulders. She was watching the world fly past the window as her headphone blasted music into her brain. She'd hoped that it would be enough to drown out his voice from her head but that one sentence kept repeating in her head...

I'll fuck you in front of all of Heaven if you fail

She shivered again, pulling the coat tighter around her and closing herself off to everyone. Soon they arrived at the airfield and she watched as the four horsepersons stepped out the bunker and towards the four children. She watched as the boy from her earlier trip looked over at her and her brother and smiled as the pain was once again present in her head. She moved closer as she saw Shadwell and Aziraphale and sighed, coming closer. And so began the moral argument of whether or not to kill the boy and Averza blanked it all out of her mind. She had one choice, to tempt or not to tempt. Soon the horsemen were gone and all that remained was ash and goo. Averza clenched her fist and grabbed Adam and stalked away towards the bunker to talk to him. As she looked into his eyes guilt washed over her, how could she tempt this child into such a horrific act? "You're a demon aren't you?" Averza looked at him and nodded. He looked back at where Beezlebub and Gabriel had just appeared and looked forlorn "Are you going you make me start this war?" Averza sighed and rubbed her temple "No Adam, I'm here to tell you before anyone else that this is your choice. No plan is set in stone and if you want to diverge...then its your choice kid. You don't have to follow the plan others had set out..." Adam nodded and walked away, leaving her in the shadow and she clenched her fist as Adam repeated what she had said back to Beezlebub and Gabriel.

She saw Gabriel glance at her and sneer and she decided to leave, no where would be safe but it was better than being there. She landed in Italy and began finding the safest place to hide for the next millennia. She would need to remain in snake form for a while but it was better than facing anyone. She knew it was cowardly but when a price was on your head...it was the safest option.

*Two weeks later -After Crowley's and Aziraphale's trials – Warning graphic violence ahead, skip if you don't like*

Averza hung by her wrists in a cell of Heaven, her clothes torn in big gashes, her hair matted and dirty with blood and sweat and her body was littered in whip, cut and scorch marks. Her wrists were bleeding as the chains used to hold her up were covered in sigils that cut into her. She had come to learn that her brother and Aziraphale had somehow managed to survive their trials and asked to be left alone. However, this infuriated Gabriel who then sent out angels to track her down. She'd been hiding in Rome's biggest zoo when they found her and although she'd tried to fight back they had captured her. She had been tortured and raped and now prayed to anyone for death. Her voice was horse and burnt out from the screaming she had done and her body sagged adding to the pressure on her wrists. She remembered the first time Gabriel had walked in after her capture...

Flashback*

"Ah if it isn't Averza, found you hiding in some zoo i hear. I suppose when marked its easy to find you no?" Averza glared daggers at him, thoroughly pissed at him and about ready to give him a taste of his own medicine. That's when he stalked close, gripping her chin roughly and looking at the now faded dark orange spots on her neck "Shall we go for round two?" his question wasn't really a question but a fact. He pulled down her jeans and underwear and smiled as he revelled in her fear. He gripped her hips in a vice like grip that was cold and menacing and at the same time whispered "Be prepared to scream demon" and with that pushed in hard. Averza's scream could be heard throughout the whole of Heaven and most laughed and a few trembled at Gabriel's power.

*End you can continue from here for a little bit*

He hadn't stopped until she called him Master and begged him to stop. Just the memory alone was enough to make her tremble and as the door finally slid open to her cell she looked up wearily into the eyes of Michael and Sandalphon and groaned. In Michael's hand was a clear vase of water which by the smell was Holy Water and Averza froze as she was dropped from the chains and her arms, knees, ankles and elbows were bound in holy rope. Sandalphon dipped his fingers into the Holy water and dropped a bit onto her ankles and Averza hissed and wriggled forwards away from him. Sandalphon laughed "Keep going little snake, you have a long way to Gabriel" and he kept dropping water just behind her ankles making her wriggle forward.

20 minutes earlier*

Two envelopes had been posted through the front door of A.Z.Fell's bookshop and as the clatter sounded a groggy demon went and fetched them. They had spent the last two weeks entangled in each others arms making love and enjoying the freedom of being on Thier side. Two envelops sat on the matt and as Crowley looked down his stomach dropped, sat neatly side by side was the two things he had dreaded most. On the left a crisp white envelope with gold outlining and the name Aziraphale etched on the front and beside it a charcoal black envelope with the words Crowley scribbled on it and his heart thumped as he read it. He walked back upstairs to the flat above and his hand shook as he gave Aziraphale his letter.

He opened it quickly and his finger clasped around a small note and he pulled it out. It was Beezlebub's writing and if they had contacted them...it wasn't good. He opened the note and read:

Demon Crowley,

You have been summoned to heaven as every demon has to watch the peace treaty between our two kinds. Every one has the assurance they won't be harmed or killed and you have been granted passage, be here by 2pm.

Lord Beezlebub

Crowley stood in shock at the words on the page, peace treaty? He looked up from his note to see Aziraphale in the same amount of shock. This didn't feel right and something worried him. He picked up his phone and tried to dial his sister to let her know but it went straight to voicemail again and he sighed "Looks like we are taking a trip upstairs." The ride to the building was a quiet one, the two lovers not sure what to say to break the silence and neither wanting to speculate what they were about to witness. As Crowley pulled up he felt his fear freeze in his stomach as a line of Angels and Demons bled out into the street waiting to go up into heaven. They joined the mass queue and he glanced around, trying to find his sister. Soon he stood close to the front, Aziraphale next to him as everyone gathered in what was considered the main room. Every single angel and demon was gathered and it made his stomach lurch. Was there really going to be a peace treaty?

Soon Gabriel, Michael, Beezlebub and Dagon took to the raised platform in the centre of the massive room and Gabriel began "Welcome to Heaven our demonic friends, we are gathered here to witness a peace treaty signing. However, there is just one thing we need to do before it is signed and after much deliberation between Beezlebub and I. We failed to execute the two responsible for the stopping of Armageddon as you may be aware." At that their feet were bound to the floor and lots of eyes were on them "So in order to compensate we have decided to punish the third person responsible for this downfall, bring her in Sandalphon" and with that a huge set of double doors opened and Crowley's heart sank. He had expected to see Adam stood there but what he saw instead was his twin, wriggling on her stomach as the bald ass angel dripped water behind her feet all the while giggling to himself. From the smell alone Crowley knew it was Holy Water he was dripping just beside her ankle and by the looks of her ankles he has succeeded in hurting her substantially with it. "You guys may want to clear a path, she is know to spit" Crowley tried to move forward, to protect his little sister but his body and magic refused to work and as he glanced at Aziraphale he noted he was in the same predicament.

"So, Demon Averza, formally known as Angel Averzail guardian of the gates of Heaven. You are being sentenced to execution by Holy water in a judge of your peers for your crimes of your brother Crowley and the traitor Aziraphale...how do you plead?" Crowley flinched as all that came back was a garbled whine "Stop this you fucking arsehole! My sister did nothing wrong!" He shouted, unwilling to let them hurt her further. Gabriel sneered and looked at Crowley "Maybe if you both weren't so hard to punish...your sister would be okay." And with that he knelt down and grabbed the binds on her wrists. Averza groaned as she was hoisted to her knees and all she wanted to do was die. She looked at the mass of faces around her, pleading for one to help but none did. Aziraphale then shouted "We are supposed to be the good guys! This isn't right!" Gabriel glared at him "Shut your stupid mouth and let me continue" and with that he nodded to Michael who brought out a rapier (a thin fencing like sword) and dug it into the point on Averza's spine that would reveal her wings.

*Gory bit*

They fluttered behind Averza and sunk useless to the floor as Uriel and Dagon each grabbed a wing. Averza flinched, ready for the feathers to be pulled but as Gabriel came and knelt in front of her she felt terrified at his grin. "Snakes don't deserve wings, Michael cut them off." He ordered and two resounding shouts of "No!" sounded as Michael cleanly took off the first wing in which Dagon took to Beezlebub. Averza, too tired and too far gone to care just whimpered and soon the second one was detached and handed to Gabriel who held it aloft. Cries and growls of joy echoed around the hall as demons and angels cheered...all except two. The blood from the stumps that were left spluttered onto the floor of heaven and fizzled like hot oil in a pan, forever marking heaven's pristine floor. Averza had bowed forward, head touching the floor and tears fell from her now dull eyes. This was her end...

End of gory bit*

Gabriel stood on the platform again and boomed "Now for the final act, Michael please extinguish her life...and let it be a lesson to the traitors to never cross our paths." Michael picked up the jug and began towards Averza when a set of clicking heels on hard floor echoed around Heaven and everyone fell silent...She was really making an appearance? Michael froze in their stride and everyone began to fall to their knees in respect except for Crowley and Aziraphale who couldn't move and Gabriel who was determined to execute Averza. Soon the double doors burst open and their stood God's corporal form. She had stern look on her face as she strode forward and into the centre of the room where Averza now lay on her side. Averza felt no joy at God's presence and didn't feel warmth or joy in her glow. She had abandoned Averza and Crowley a long time ago, and they didn't need a reminder of the person who had hated them for so little.

Averza tried to move back but every fibre of her being screamed in agony so she just rolled her head up and looked at God in the eyes as God began "Oh my child, what have they done? Look at this mess...someone better start talking or I'm going to start smiting." And with that Gabriel took a tentative step forward "We are punishing a traitor Allmighty, she dared interfere with the Ineffable plan and helped stop Armageddon...we are just punishing her accordingly" God whirled around on Gabriel, fire reflecting in those eyes that burned harsher than any Hellfire "Do you even know my Ineffable plan?" Gabriel stuttered and begun babbling about some war and God growled stepping ever closer to the violet eyed Angel. "You were my 6th born child, I never told you my Ineffable plan and therefore what you are spouting is utterly wrong. You have gone out of your way to try and destroy my creation, destroy my humans and then when that all failed you tried to destroy my Principality and Tempter and even then you failed. Now you've restorted to this..." she gestured to the very public execution going on and growled "...Why I haven't cast you out yet is an amazement...but then I think I will actually do some falling today, Gabriel, Michael, Uriel and Sandalphon you will all be made to Fall" and with that the ground below them opened up as they descended to Hell.

Crowley flinched, holding on to his angels hand, knowing how petty she could be. God turned her attention to Aziraphale and began "My Principality...you have proven yourself over and over to your superiors over the years and all they have done is belittled and undermined you. Today I raise you to Archangel...you shall be the Patron Saint of Humanity and you may wander wherever you please without interruption...also I bestow a gift...something I hold rather personally...you shall now from this day forth be able to heal demons, angels, humans and aardvarks" Crowley's laugh echoed as the thousand year joke resounded in the halls of Heaven and Aziraphale blushed "Thank you Lord". They were both released from the binds of the floor and as they rushed to Averza they saw the true extent of the torture. Aziraphale looked around and boomed "Return to your respective offices, I shall sort this mess out when I return. Meanwhile I appoint Jodrell the leader until my return. Dont mess it up and if you need help call me" and with that he miracle them all down to the shop and lay Averza out on the dining table to better heal her.

A/N: And I'm leaving it here, hope you all like it. I know I have rushed through the series a bit but I'm going to be extending the after series bit although my character development is short it will definitely be found in the next few chapters. So please bear with me.
