"NisNisNisNis!"
They all turned, amused, at the excited call from the fledgling as she crested the final stair and bounded across the threshold, jumping over Titus and Puriel on the floor, and climbed up to sit in their Captains lap. Nisroc chuckled as she gripped his tunic and pulled herself up, pulling his arms away as she slowly but surely climbed up to sit on his lap, and curled his arms around her when she settled down against him.
"What can I do for you, baby Power?"
"I wanna invite you guys to our jam session!"
He tilted his head, exchanging a look with the brother next to him, looking down at the fledgling in confusion.
"Jam session, little one?"
"Yea, we all get together." She waved her hands in a funky motion. "And go freestyle." She looked up at him excitedly. "And Jeremiah said I could invite you guys to come this time!"
The Captain smiled. "I would love to come, but—"
"Paul and Sasha can come too!"
"Then, we shall join you." He kissed her head and she smiled, looking up at him, kissing his chin lightly. "All'o you?"
"Of course."
…
"Zaves! Reel!"
The fledgling skid into the oldest archangels room, where they sat on the Sentry's bed, playing a card game for two. Zaves quickly scooped the pile up when the fledgling took a running start from around the corner of the doorway, bouncing across the floor, and jumped up on the bed. Gadreel laughed deeply, wiggling a few fingers in the little one's belly in greeting, and she shrieked brightly and curled up between them.
"Hello, little friend."
"Hi 'Reel!" she hugged his hand tightly.
"What can we do for you munchkin?" She turned to stick her tongue out at her best friend, Zaves, and he returned the gesture in kind.
"Jeremiah says I can invite you to our next Jam Session!"
Gadreel looked confused, looking to his most trusted friend for clarification, and Zaves nodded to him. "A Jam Session is when the choir sings what's in their hearts and not just in the books."
The Sentry nodded. "I would be more then grateful to come."
"Me too, kid, count me in!"
…
That evening, as they gathered around their table as they did every night, Akeelah stood on her master's lap and raised her hand excitedly until the oldest archangel chuckled in amusement and called on her name.
"Yes, little star?"
"You guys are invited to our Jam Session!" she flopped back down on the Morningstar's lap, curling his arms back around her, and sat back with a bright smile. The four archangels exchanged confused looks. Turning to the Morningstar first. "What is a 'Jam Session', brother?"
"I do not know. We never had one before."
Akeelah nodded. "Yea we did. You just weren't invited before." She picked at his fingers. "We started doing them again when we locked ourselves up in the Pantheon." The fledgling smiled up at them. "And Jeremiah say's I can invite you guys too!"
"Who else have you invited, little bear?"
"Well, I invited you guys obviously. And Nis and Hani and Puri and Abe and Tus. Also, Reel and Zaves. And Sasha and Paul."
"That's quite a lot of people."
"Miah says that others should see how the Choir really is."
