The song here is "Rapture" by Blondie
Rapture
They took their seats behind their desks and a few seconds later, a demon knocked at their door. Without looking up, Clara gave the approval to enter and a woman walked in, dressed like a corporate secretary.
"You'll both want to hear this." She said and both King and Queen lifted their eyes up to her.
"Darling, I believe you need to have another chat with your assistant." Crowley said as his eyes returned to the papers on his desk. He didn't like that this demon wasn't addressing them as "Your Majesties" like she was supposed to. Clara grinned and sat back as the demon, Nerilla, stood in front of her with a grin of her own.
"I'm not Nikolai." Nerilla said and when Crowley met her eyes, she winked at him. "A real stickler for formalities that one is." She added and Crowley grunted and returned to his work.
Since Nikolai had been promoted to Knight of Hell, a demon stepped up and asked to prove she was worthy to be their lieutenant. Crowley left it up to his Queen and, naturally, Clara tested this demon beyond belief. She set up several difficult tasks and she succeed them without questioning Clara. When her Queen finally admired her determination, Nerilla gained the Queen's trust and became lieutenant.
Of course, since then, she seemed more like Clara's assistant that acted like her girlfriend than a lieutenant, and that annoyed Crowley.
"What do you have?" Clara asked Nerilla.
"Shit that will hit the fan." She replied and her grin faded. Clara knew this was indeed bad news. "Some angel broke Metatron's spell and opened Heaven." She said and before she could continue, Crowley stopped and slowly looked up at Nerilla.
"What?" he asked and it was clear that he wasn't impressed.
"This angel found Castiel's grace and returned it to him. To make sure that Heaven stays open, he gave his own and joined the Winchesters along with his hunter girlfriend." Nerilla added and Crowley sat back in his chair and growled.
"Names, Nerilla." Clara said and the demon gave a small grin. She knew Crowley wasn't at all thrilled that he was only hearing about this now, after it had all happened, especially if the news if being told mostly to her and not him.
"Gadreel and Anne Cromwell." She said and Crowley and stared at Nerilla with this darkness in his eyes he got when he was angry. When she noticed, she flashed a small smile. "You know them?" she asked and Crowley would have given a cocky grin if he wasn't annoyed with her.
"Of course. I'm King of Hell." He replied dryly and Nerilla smiled innocently as if silently begging him to not get mad at her.
"Off you go." Clara said and the demon spun on her heels and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. She thought it would be best to send her out before Crowley released his anger on her.
"Why her?" Crowley asked as soon as the door closed and Clara glanced at him with a smile. "She's infuriating." He added and Clara walked over to his desk, sitting at the corner. She stroked Crowley's cheek as he sat back in his chair looking like an angry child.
"She's good at her job and loyal. Since making her lieutenant, you haven't missed any important bits of information." She replied and Crowley grunted. "You're just annoyed that you're not my only friend." Clara added and grinned once Crowley exchanged his annoyed expression for a smirk. Although he was angry, he couldn't resist letting go of his anger when she was around.
"Now, who's Gadreel and Anne Cromwell?" she asked and her lover lifted his eyes up to her with that dark glimmer. A second later, his usual grin followed.
"Haven't gone to Sunday school, I see." he said and Clara laughed. When she laughed, he smiled, as if it was music to his ears. She met his eyes and he took her hand in his and brought it to his lips.
"I went once and apparently, I set this girl's drawing on fire." Clara said and Crowley let out a small laugh. "The teacher said that I had a lighter and that I had refused to give it. I just remember tearing a page out of a Bible. Then I was banded. I don't know." She added and Crowley growled as if in pleasure. He stared at her for a few seconds, and then grinned.
"Gadreel was the angel that failed in keeping the snake out of the garden." He said as he looked at her hand, stroking it with his thumb. "When Metatron exiled the angels, Gadreel was released from his prison cell, gained Dean's trust and promised to heal Sam.
"Dean then asked for my help to get Sam to cast out Gadreel and then Wings became Metatron's puppet just so he could get back into Heaven." Crowley said and Clara arched her eyebrow, not quite catching everything he had said. However, the details didn't seem so important to her.
"And as for Cromwell," he added, pausing. "The name sounds familiar." He added and when he met Clara's slightly confused expression, he grinned, standing up and kissing her hand one more time before fixing his suit and walking over to his shelves of documents and contracts.
