Warning mentions of abuse, rape, and triggering anxiety
With Alastor making the hotel look more presentable; Charlie was more determined to get more sinners to come to the Hazbin Hotel. So far, they haven't gotten any new sinners checked in yet, but they just need to be patient. Nifty and Husker liked working at the hotel; Vaggie slowly started to get used to them working here. Kara started to come by the hotel more to help out as the hotel's therapist and healer. The only one who seemed to be not invested in the hotel was Angel. Even though he was a resident of the hotel, he was only more interested in the free room than redemption.
He only agreed to the free room just so he could get away from the porn studio and Valentino himself. Angel mostly kept to himself in his room with Nuggs and never came out of the room, unless he had to for food and alcohol. Vaggie got so annoyed with Angel's antics that she almost wanted to kick him out of the hotel. Charlie had to calm Vaggie down and tell her that they were not going to kick Angel out. Charlie tried to talk to Angel, but he would always get pissed and yell at Charlie to just leave him alone. She asked Kara if she could coach Angel out of his room for the day.
"Charlie, I don't think that's a good idea. Give him time. He's been through a lot more than you think." Kara stated.
"What do you mean?" Charlie asked.
"Charlie, did Angel even tell you why he needed a room in the hotel?" Kara asked Charlie.
"I'm not sure. All he said was that he wanted a place to stay from the porn studio. I just thought he wanted a place away from his fans." Charlie answered.
Kara didn't want to betray Angel's trust, but the poor thing was suffering so much. As she was chatting with Alastor, she saw that Angel had left his room but not for food this time. He told everyone that he was going out for work. Kara was worried about Angel; she had seen a few porn stars come into her club banged up by Valentino, some even verbally shut down. But it was always the same; they would flinch at even the gentlest touch, beg for no more, hallucinations of Val in their room. Kara understood that this was Hell, but an Overlord like Valentino was a toxic and sick man.
She did have one porn star claim that their memory was fuzzy. The last thing they remembered was being called into Val's office, getting smacked across the face and then everything went blank. She figured that Val must have drugged his victims enough for them to forget. She watched as Angel walked out of the door; a sudden pit in her stomach formed, and she had a bad feeling about this. Alastor must have seen her face because he was brave enough to approach her. "Something on your mind, Ms. Melody?" he asked with his cheeky grin.
"What do you want, Radio Demon?" she asked, still not trusting him.
"You seem worried about Angel. I thought you already had a lover, but it seems you're falling for Angel Dust." Alastor teased.
Kara looked at Alastor with a look of hate. "Angel is like a brother to me. I'm not in love with him. And you don't even know the kind of shit demons like me and him have to deal with. I was treated like a money-making slave my whole living life. I was forced on drugs to just do cheaper shows, I was raped by my so-called manager's son. I was a caged bird for the longest time until I snapped. I killed my sleazy manager; I have no regret. You dropped into Hell with these powers and toppled Overlords like dominos. But for people like me and Angel, we had to scrap by just to live." she had tears in her eyes.
Alastor had two glasses of vodka appear in his hands and handed one to Kara. She drank it in one go. "You made a deal with an Overlord, didn't you? I don't know any other demon with a shattering voice." Alastor questioned.
"It was a long time ago. But I was used the same way as I was before. I was tricked into making a deal. But I learned that when a sinner kills the Overlord, they made a deal with, their power, and possessions all go to their killer. I got his club and turned it into what it is today, and I was given his sonic shriek. I have had a hatred for demons like that ever since. I may be an Overlord, but I won't force sinners into deals. I let them make the choice." Kara explained.
Kara decided to go follow Angel and check on him. Alastor even gave Kara one of his shadows to help her out. She managed to make it to the porn studio, but she didn't want to draw attention inside. Luckily, she shifted into a sexy imp form that she used for emergencies. She walked inside the club part of the porn studio where a few porn stars were dancing in front of thirsty demons. She rolled her eyes at how pathetic those pigs were whistling and being sexist towards those stars. She walked around looking for Angel, but she didn't find him anywhere in the club, she did notice a few familiar porn stars from her club.
Alastor's shadow pointed to the backstage area where some of the porn stars were heading, that has to be where Angel is. She snuck towards the backstage area but she still couldn't find Angel. Suddenly, she heard loud crashes coming from one of the dressing rooms. She crept closer to see who was in there. "You're gonna get back out there and dance until I get all the money you owe me!" a silky toxic voice said.
Then there was the sound of a slap, "Well, I fuckin' can't now you're fuckin' up my face." a familiar voice said.
Kara gasped, that was Anegl's voice, which meant the other person in there was none other than Valentino. "People pay for your ass, not your face. It's the least you can do after joining that stupid hotel and becoming clean. " Val stated.
Kara realized that Val must have seen the interview when Charlie told Katie Killjoy that Angel was a patron at her hotel. Now Val's taking his anger out on Angel. She was about to go in there and get Angel out of there, but she didn't want Valentino to see her. She spotted one of the porn stars on the stage pole dancing then she got an idea. There was one other trick she picked up from her last breakup, the sexy trance dance. When she sings in a very seductive tone and performs a hypnotizing dance, she can put any man under her spell. She was wearing the right form, after all, the spell works better in her sexy imp form.
She went over to the announcer and flirted with him to get Valentino present for her performance, it was one to remember. She touched up her hair before waiting by the pole on the darkened stage. She saw the Overlord pimp Valentino sitting in the back of the crowd on the couch. He must have locked Angel in his dressing room. She cued the band to play a slow sexy tune then the spotlight shined on her as some of the residents whistled and hooted.
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They'll tell you I'm the biggest mutha hen
She did a few pole dance moves to impress the crowd.
I love them all and all of them love me
Because the system works, the system called reciprocity
Kara got off the pole and did a sexy walk down the ramp.
Got a little motto
Always sees me through
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you
She bends down to one of the demons and strokes his chin.
There's a lot of favors
I'm prepared to do
You do one for Mama
She'll do one for you
She saw a few of the demons in the crowd starting to fall under the spell. Kara got up from the floor and made her way to the pole to do a few sexy pole dance moves.
They say that life is tit for tat
And that's the way I live
So, I deserve a lot of tat
For what I've got to give
Don't you know that this hand
Washes that one too?
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you
More and more demons were drooling over Kara in her sexy imp form. She saw Valentino slowly falling into the trance. So, she decided to kick things up a notch; she pulled out a little scarf from in between her breasts and then walked up to Val sexy-like.
If you want my gravy
Pepper my raggoo
She wrapped the scarf around Val's neck in then pulled him close.
Spice it up for Mama
She'll get hot for you
Kara pulled away from Val, leaving the scarf around his neck. She walked away from him.
When they pass that basket
Folks contribute too
You put in for Mama
She'll put out for you
She swayed her hips, making most of the demons pass out.
The folks a top the ladder
Are the ones the world adores
So boost me up my ladder kid
And I'll boost you up your's
Kara blew a kiss at Valentino. The spell was working, and Val and all of the demons in the club had passed out completely.
Let's all stroke together
Like the Princeton crew
When you're strokin' Mama
Mama's strokin' you
So what's the one conclusion?
I can bring this number to
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you!
By the time she was done, everyone was passed out and in a trance. "Works every time," Kara stated.
Kara quickly went back to Angel's dressing room; Alastor's shadow had picked the lock already, so it was easier to get inside. The second Kara walked inside; she was horrified to see the state Angel was in. He was on the floor in pain, his face was covered in red bruises, two of his arms were twisted, and his legs were soaked in blood and cum. Kara ran over to the couch near her and quickly grabbed a blanket. She slowly approached Angel who was still in shock. She helped Angel to his feet and then wrapped him in the blanket. She snuck him out of the porn studio and thankfully, everyone was still passed out from Kara's spell.
The hotel was too far, and Angel needed medical attention fast. She found the closest apartment building away from the porn studio then she took Angel inside. She switched back to her Hellfox form, grabbed the first-aid kit from a cabinet, and started to treat Angel's wounds. Just as she was bandaging up Angel's arms in a cast and thinking of ways to skin Valentino alive, she felt like someone was watching them. Panicked, she grabbed the closest thing near her, which was a vase. She turned around and the person who was watching them was another spider demon, holding a gun.
He looked an awful lot like Angel, only his fur was darker, he had red eyes, wore an Italian mobster suit and he was a few inches shorter than Angel. "Cosa ci fai qui a casa mia?" the demon spider asked in Italian.
"Easy there. I didn't know this was your home. I just needed a place to help my friend." Kara stated.
The second the demon spider saw Angel; his face went pale. "Anthony?" he asked, worried putting the gun down.
"You know Angel Dust?" she asked.
"Know him? That's my brother!" the demon spider answered.
Kara was shocked to learn that Angel had a brother or that his real name was Anthony. She heard Angel groan in pain then rushed back over to him to finish treating his wounds and cleaning him up. Angel was stunned to see Kara and the fact that he wasn't in his dressing room at the porn studio. He was freaking out so much that Kara thought he was going to pop out his stitches. She tried to calm him down, but Angel was going into a full-blown panic attack, and nothing calmed him down. He kept muttering the same words over and over again while rocking back in forth. "I have to go back. I have to go back."
Angel's brother walked over towards Kara and Angel. He wrapped his arms around Angel and started to say some comforting words in Italian. It was working, Angel was calming down enough to break out of his trance. He finally noticed who was holding him, "Ni- Nizzy?" he stuttered.
"Facile, fratello. Ti ho preso." Nizzy spoke.
Kara thought that the moment between the demon spider brothers was cute. Angel asked Kara why she brought him here and how she even got inside the studio. "Let's just say. Valentino's gonna be having nose bleeds for a while." Kara stated.
"You punched him?!" Angel asked, freaking out.
"No. I just pulled a Chicago." Kara answered.
"Huh?" both spider demons asked.
"You think you're the only one that knows how to get a guy on the prowl? I sneak in disguised as a sexy imp pole dancer. I gave Val the performance of a lifetime. A little trick I picked up. You're welcome." Kara explained. "So, this guy is your brother?"
Angel went on to explain that Nizz, their sister Molly, and he were in the mob together. Until Angel came out as gay and genderfluid, their father was pissed and disowned him. Nizz and Molly managed to keep in contact with Angel without their father knowing. Whenever Val made Angel go out on a gang bang, he would sometimes bump into Nizz and the two would chat. Unfortunately, Valentino discovered Angel chatting with his brother in an alleyway last night and he was pissed. That was why Val was beating Angel up in the dressing room, besides discovering that Angel was in the Hazbin Hotel under Charlie's protection.
"As charming as this unexpected family visit was, you two better leave. Once Val snaps out of whatever La bella volpe put him under, he's gonna come looking for you." Niiz stated.
"Way ahead of you. I know a shortcut to the hotel." Kara stated.
She managed to help Angel out of the apartment and the two of them headed back to the hotel. Little did they know, Alastor's shadow saw the whole thing and reported it to Alastor.
