Hello everyone! Long time no see! lol It's been a busy week since I came back from my vacation with my girlfriend so I've been a little distant from writing but I was able to get this little update out for you guys! I decided to play with Vaggie's psyche a little with this one and mess with the possible PTSD she would have in this scenario. I hope you guys enjoy!

God, not him. Please not him. Not again. I can't see him again.

I felt as if my chest was being crushed tightly by a boa constrictor as I wrapped my arms around myself as if that would help the tightening sensation.

They can't take Heaven away from me. Not again. They can't. I'm safe here. I thought I was safe here. God no, please.

"Vaggie, breathe."

"They can't. They can't." I felt gentle hands guide me to the floor before pressing gently to my shoulders. "I-."

"Just relax, gorgeous. It's okay. They can't hurt you here." I tried my best to take a shaky breath but it nearly caught itself in my throat as a sob choked out of me. A tear came from my eye before I could even realize the sudden shift from panic to dread filling my chest. That dread then shifted to anger in a second as I snapped my head toward Lucifer.

"What could he possibly want? He took everything away from me before, he's not doing it again!" Muscles twitched in my back as I instinctively went to spread my wings. Nothing came but a dull pain that only made the fire within my stomach burn brighter as the memories flashed within my mind. "I'll pull his wings out of his spine before I let that slimy disgrace of a first human creation come anywhere near here! They won't hurt me again! Never again!" My throat felt hoarse as I nearly screamed out the word in a deep angered growl.

"They won't take anything from you, my angel. I promise you."I felt Charlie cup my cheek ever so gently before pulling me into her chest. A fire raged within my being, but her calming presence and touch seemed to lull the burning desire for vengeance to a flickering flame instead of a raging inferno. "Just take a breath, my love." I took a deep breath and released it slowly before nuzzling into Charlie's collar. I felt her free hand comb through my hair for a moment as I heard Angel clear his throat.

"Well now, that was like watching a drama. Guessing I'm missing out on a lot of information about you, huh sister?" The pornstar's voice was oddly gentle as I peeked out of the corner of my eye to see that he was approaching Charlie and me slowly. He joined us on the floor with a soft yet slopping grin before bringing his legs in under him. "It's alright. We all have our baggage. It's alright to lash out and need to let out some emotions. What's going on though? It's good for the rest of us to understand at least a little bit of what's going on if we're all going to live together here, ya know?"

"Do you want to talk about it, babe?" I looked up at Charlie for a second to see her soft smile looking down at me before looking back toward Angel Dust. "I could do the talking if you want."

"No, I got it." I took a deep breath before pulling myself up from Charlie's chest. "Some of the rumors you've heard are true, Angel. I was cast out of Heaven by my fellow angels. Though, it's not from killing another angel or anything like that. I broke a rule on an Extermination Day by letting a cannibal child go. I've killed plenty of sinners before that, but never a child. I was able to turn off my emotions until I realized I had cornered such a terrified little kid. They reminded me of my little siblings when I was living and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It didn't go unnoticed and for that, I was punished."

"Punished as in wings being ripped off like you said you would do to this Adam guy?"

"Exactly."

"Well, shit." Angel looked saddened by the story for a second before cracking a small smile at me. "Remind me to never tussle with you, toots. You're hard as nails." He seemingly increased his accent on purpose and it brought out a laugh from me and Charlie as he then stood up from his spot on the ground. "Ha! Would do that all the time for my little sister and it seems the good ol' Angel Dust smirk and charm still got it! No wonder my fans like Whiskers over there love me."

"Again, don't flatter yourself."

"I bet you flatter yourself to me all the time, kitty." I couldn't help but snort at Angel's remark to Husk as Lucifer took Angel's spot with Charlie and me on the floor.

"You don't have to come with us, Vaggie, if you feel unsafe. Even then, this meeting will be done with holograms so there is no physical contact with him or any other angel that comes along to the meeting on his end. We'll be here in Hell and they'll still be there in Heaven."

"What do you think he wants from us though?" I questioned him as I leaned back into Charlie's shoulder. "It's not like he can make any big announcements or decisions without Sera or the counsel."

"That's why I believe he has no clue about you being here still in Hell or my talk with Sera. I think this has to do with the exterminations since he's the head of the army."

"Trust me, I know." I rolled my eye as I remembered how cocky the first man was on the concept. "He would let anyone and everyone know he was the first man and chosen leader of an 'army of badass bitches'." I mimicked Adam's voice the best I could which brought a small laugh out of my girlfriend. "That and his dick. The dude really liked to talk about his dick. Grossed me the fuck out."

"That explains a lot from what Mom would speak of when it came to him."

"God! Lilith must have been through hell with him!" I couldn't help but laugh at the absurd remarks that the first woman must have been through with her first husband. "I could not imagine being married to that man. I would have killed him long ago if I was his first wife, not gonna lie."

"Knowing my wife, she probably would have if she stayed any longer." Lucifer sounded as if he was being nostalgic for a moment before clearing his throat. "All things considered though, you don't have to come with us but you're more than welcome to, little lady." I took a second to just breathe and turned my head so I could listen to Charlie's heartbeat. My hand found hers that used to be in my hair so our fingers could intertwine before looking over toward Lucifer again.

"Gotta face my demons at some point. I might as well start where I can."

"That's my girlfriend." I smiled at Charlie's words of encouragement as Lucifer seemed to be feeling the same with his wide smile and hand outstretched toward me.

"Then let's get this show on the road." He tapped his cane to the floor with his other hand which caused a portal to open behind him.

"Heaven is waiting for us."
