"Exorcists! Fall in line!" Lute ordered. The large batch of Exorcists followed the order and stood in neat rows with their spears to their sides waiting for their next order. Lute stood up on a higher ledge along with several other Exorcists who were the higher-ranked ones. She then turned around to speak to Adam. "They are ready for you, sir." She said, passing that information onto Adam, who walked down a short staircase to get down to the level the Exorcists were on.
Adam slowly looked at them while he paced to create some added tension. "So. Lute has so graciously informed me that there were some...issues that happened during our last cleanse which seems a bit fucking hard to believe as we don't typically have issues. Apparently, this issue had some of you running for the hills or fearing for your lives, or even mentally scarred. So...does anyone care to provide me with a little bit of fucking context on why some people are acting like big fucking babies all of a sudden? Well I guess I have a fucking idea on what happened but I wanna hear it from all of you." He asked as he kept on walking until he got to one of the female Exorcists. "Sweet, sweet, Clitorissa. You're a woman, right?"
"S-Sir?" She asked as she was confused about if that was a serious question.
"Rhetorical question. I know how you ladies always love to fucking gossip, spread rumors, or curl each other's hair. POINT IS... I have to believe some news has made it around. Care to share what the big deal is?" Adam asked as he put an arm around her to mess with her.
"I-I don't know for sure. I never saw the person in question. I have just...heard talk going around during the cleanse to stay away from this green person," Clitorissa responded.
"Oh the green person? Ah okay, mhm. To clear this up, how many of you heard this little..thing about some guy dressed in green. Give me a nice show of hands?" Adam announced and saw an extensive collection of hands go up. "Uh-huh. So all of you heard about this, and nobody decided to say a fucking word to me?! That thought just...didn't cross anyone's mind?" He practically shouted now as he was a little annoyed by that. He wasn't getting an actual answer as every Exorcist seemed to look at one another, waiting for someone else to answer. "Ok! Fucking spectacular! So somehow we have an unknown slut who somehow managed to slaughter a several dozens of our fucking forces. Who can actually give me a damn answer? Or just...give me anything at this point."
"Well...Alpheus and I could, sir," One Exterminator spoke up. She raised her hand to make herself known, as a lot of the Exorcists did have similar looks with their uniforms on, so it would be hard to spot her in a crowd of them.
"Cain, Cain, Cain," Adam said as he flew over towards her. "Alpheus and Cain, come up to the front here," He ordered. Both Exorcists followed the order and came up to the front. "Since the rest of you do not seem to be fucking helpful, you can proceed to whatever Lute is planning for y'all to do. Go on, Lute, don't let ME take up ANYMORE of your time," he said as he made a hand motion to illustrate his point.
Lute simply nodded in response. "ALRIGHT Exorcists. We lost too many in our last cleanse, and that is unacceptable. I do not care WHAT KIND OF scum was down there; we are the Heavenly ELITE. There is no FUCKING REASON that our numbers should have shrunk like that. So, it had become clear to me that I must have been far too lenient with your training, and those who died clearly slacked off and took it TOO EASY when it came to their training. Everyone LINE UP because I DO NOT WANT any more of those low-life demons down in hell to get their grubby paws on any more of our arms," Lute ordered to all of them, and they followed her instructions.
While that went on, Adam brought Cain and Alpheus over to a better spot for them to talk amongst themselves. "Okay, you two, I have heard one side of the story from Lute," he said as he started to grow a bit pissed off thinking more about what had gone down. "Why don't you two share with me what the hell happened since you didn't feel like sharing it before."
"W-Well, the cleanse was going as normal. Slaughtering the demons of Hell left and right," Alpheus started but was then cut off.
"Mhm YEP, best time of the goddamn YEAR. Oh sorry, sorry, I just had to interject. Do not let ME hold YOU up," Adam said as he gave him a gesture to continue.
"A group of us found this...man that we had never seen before. We assumed it was a demon, but after looking at this man up close and seeing the things he did, I'm not even sure," Alpheus said trying to give the best answer she could.
"Hmph. Well, how about you tell me EVERYTHING that happened, don't spare no details either. Makes the story more fun for me!" Adam commanded.
Many hours ago, during the cleanse...
"NO! PLEASE DON'T! GAHHH," This is coming from the mouth of an unfortunate demon who found himself outside.
Alpheus still had her sinister smile on her face as she pulled her now bloody spear out of the sinner's abdomen. "It's always a laugh that they think pleading for their life will somehow save them," she thought to herself. She looked to her right, where she heard more screaming followed by the sounds of stabbing, gurgling, and even what sounded like a few bones breaking as a few more of her colleagues found themselves a target. "Beat me to that one." She thought to herself before drawing her attention to an alleyway. She heard a sound that sounded rather suspicious. Her smile came back to her face as she marched over to the alley. She slowly walked down the alley and knew that there was someone there as she heard their panicked breathing. They were right behind a dumpster. Alpheus used her strength and grabbed hold of the dumpster, and tossed it out of the way.
"OH FUCK!" The demon yelled as he did not think the Exterminator would do that.
Alpheus sauntered as the demon crawled back as fast as he could. He reached behind him and picked up an empty bottle, and chucked it at Alpheus's head. But she was too quick as she simply dodged it. The demon tried to use that as a distraction and tried to run but ended up getting a spear through the back. The demon couldn't even let out a scream as it couldn't even breathe as both of its lungs just got punctured. Alpheus decided to finish him off by stabbing him right through the back of its head. "Another good kill. Let's see who else I can find," she said. She turned around and then took to the sky to look over the streets of Hell, where she could see alleyways where demons could be hiding.
After some flying, she spotted another target. This target was covered in green, making them stick way out in the middle of the street, looking like they had a death wish. Alpheus simply smiled as she started to fly down to him. She figured out soon enough that she wasn't the only Exorcist to think that way as others began to fly down. "Beat me to it," she thought again. But then another thought came. "Well...this demon looks rather big. Maybe I'll help just in case." She then flew all the way down.
He found himself joined by four other Exorcists all looking for another kill, but when they all got a good look at their next target, everyone looked confused, and Alpheus began to know why. The person in front of them didn't look very...demonlike. "Is this a demon? They almost look...human? No, that can't be right. This is hell. It has to be a demon...right?" She said to herself. She was looking at the others to see what they were doing and they all looked confused. "Shit, everyone else looks as confused as me. I can't fucking tell with this person. I don't see any disfigurations or any type of demonic features. The skin color of his arms; my they are quite big, are similar to a human."
His attention turned back as someone finally made a decision and advanced on the so-called demon. Alpheus then got himself ready to attack too...until she saw what just happened to this Exorcist. This person just slaughtered an Exorcist, a LITERAL Exorcist in what felt like a blink of an eye. The decision to attack led that Exorcist to be splattered on the pavement. The person slowly looked up from bashing the Exorcist's head on the pavement at all of them. Alpheus couldn't believe her eyes and felt like she was too stunned to attack. That didn't stop someone else from trying. Once again, it did not go well. Another Exorcist was killed in what felt like a blink of an eye. The person disarmed the Exorcist and ended up killing it with their own weapon. Quite the irony. Alpheus did not like this anymore. This person seemed to be very strong and quite good at fighting. The person would be put to the test again as one more tried to fight him. The Exorcist tried so hard to even lay a hit on this person but it was like the Exorcist was being toyed with. The person kept dodging left, dodging right, and even blocked the attacks. Nothing seemed to be working for this Exorcist as she met her doom by being stabbed through the chest and then having its head chopped right off.
This person was giving Alpheus and the other Exorcist the death stare as it looked like he was prepared to fight them as well. They both had terrified looks on their faces as they both held their spears at him as a sign of defense while slowly backing up. Alpheus then looked at the other, who she identified as Cain, and both prepared to make a strategical retreat. They both used their wings and flew back up into the sky. Alpheus looked down once more at the person who was staring back up at them.
"WHAT the hell just happened?" Cain said to her; still, a bit freaked out.
"I-I don't know. I've never seen that...thing before. It looked like a man, a human man!" Alpheus responded back.
"How could a human do that? That human was so quick, so powerful. I mean he didn't use any fancy magical powers or any powers at all. He was able to fully dismember our fellow Exorcists with just his bare hands," Cain said as she was spilling her thoughts.
"I know! I have never seen that person before. Where did he get that suit of armor? I've never seen something like that every time we've come down to Hell," Alpheus said.
"That fucking guy set us up!" Cain said, coming up with her own ideas.
"How do you mean?" Alpheus asked.
"Even the most powerful demons in this shitty realm aren't dumb enough to tempt fate out in a cleanse. But that guy wanted us to attack him, he, he, was setting us up to get slaughtered. We got played!" Cain answered. It was clear that he was losing her cool. But in her defense, she had never seen something like that before, which freaked her out.
"Look, we can't know that for sure. I think the best possible thing we can do is just to leave that guy alone and find other demons to kill. From the looks of it, we may need a whole army of us to take him down," Alpheus said.
"Yeah, yeah alright. We should also spread the word about this cause if someone thinks they can take him one on one, they'll die for sure!" Cain responded as the two of them made sure to fly well away from that man.
Present day..
"Well, what an INTERESTING goddamn story," Adam said, being a smart ass.
"That is really what happened, sir. None of us are even positive that this person was a demon!" Alpehus said.
"Yeah, yeah, so I've heard. Buttttt it sounds to me that you both acted like a bunch of pussies by retreating against a demon in Hell," Adam said, trying to be funny and also putting the word demon in air quotes.
"W-We had to, Adam, sir. That was a losing battle. After seeing what he did to the others, we would have never stood a chance. Besides, we tried to keep others away from him by spreading the word about him," Cain said backing up Alpheus.
"Oh? Well aren't you two just a helpful bunch? Well, clearly, you two have some confidence issues if you thought to retreat when shit got TOO hard. Sounds like you need some training too. Fall back in line and join in on some FUNNNNN combat training." Adam said with a shit-eating grin.
The two Exorcists followed his orders and proceeded back with the others. Adam followed them, but that was only because he was going in the same direction as them. He walked over to Lute who was currently belittling an Exorcist for what Adam would refer as being too shit. "Lute can you step away with me for a quick moment? I got something to talk about with you."
"Sure. Major, teach this one the RIGHT moves, so they're not just another number on the KILL COUNT," Lute said as she followed Adam back over to where he was talking to Cain and Alpheus. "What's up?" She asked.
"Well, the two of them told me a similar story to what was said, and I gotta say it is very INTERESTING," Adam said, putting some extra emphasis on the word interesting.
"Yes, I realize. But don't worry, I'll get them ready for-" Lute began to say before getting cut off.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah," Adam began making a sound to stop Lute's train of thought. "Not completely where I was going with that. The thing I find MOST interesting is this goddamn person that all our Exorcists are talking about. To be honest, I'm kinda annoyed I never got to see him."
"I know what you mean. I was very annoyed when they finally came to me about this after us being back for that long. Clearly, they don't know how to fucking communicate at times," Lute added.
"Ain't THAT shit the truth," Adam said as he began to pace slowly. "The weird thing is that they don't know if he's a demon and that has never been said about someone in fucking HELL before."
"I suppose that is odd," Lute responded.
"EX-FUCKING-ACTLY," Adam said as he started to think again. "Maybe...maybe-maybe he's not a demon. Maybe he is a human. Maybe he's like some superhero or some shit."
"Um. I guess?" Lute responded in an uncertain way.
"I do admit. I kind of want to meet the guy, and apparently, he is in hell, so the only for us to get to him is to go to hell. And let's be fucking honest, going to that wasteland of hell is fucking pointless if we're not allowed to murder everyone in sight. Maybe..we should bring him here?" Adam said.
"I don't think that's a good idea, sir. If this demon in question is still royally pissed at our Exorcists, this could turn into a blood bath and I don't think the heavens would appreciate bringing a demon into heaven," Lute responded, thinking about their higher-ups.
"Eh, I suppose that's fair. Eh fuck it, I'll workshop that SHIT and think of what I wanna do. For now, go, go. Don't let me keep you from doing yer little training," Adam said as he was shushing Lute back over to her task.
"Yes, sir," Lute said as she started to walk back over to the training grounds.
Adam turned around and began to head back to his personal quarters. Adam began to think to himself."A fucking human in hell fucking up our very Exorcists is something I never ever expected to hear in my existence. Hell, I still don't think that shit is true. But, in a world so full of surprises, maybe it is in fact fucking true. Heh, look at me. Now I'm fucking rambling. I think a good GOD DAMN song will help to sort this little shit out."
Hazbin Hotel
"Well here we are! Welcome to the establishment," Alastor announced as both he and Lucifer used their powers to teleport from the kingdom to the hotel.
"You don't have to welcome me. I own this damn building," Lucifer responded. It took a lot for him to not face palm at that statement.
"OH right. Must of slipped my mind," Alastor said as they both walked towards the door.
"Looks a little different from the outside. Looks...better," Lucifer said as he was admiring the exterior. Although, it was hard to tell if he really cared that much.
"But of course. First impressions are always a must. You wouldn't want to stay in some wretched and run-down establishment, would you?" Alastor said hypothetically.
"Can't say I ever would because I don't typically stay at other places, let alone one that is for fucking redemption," Lucifer said.
"Tsk, tsk. Still aren't a fan, I see," Alastor said as he was the first one to the doors and opened them. Lucifer followed slowly behind him. Luckily for him, Charlie was near the check-in desk, so he didn't have to go on a wild goose chase to find her. "Ah Charlie my dear, there you are!" he said as he approached Charlie.
"Oh, hey Al," Charlie said. She only turned her head slightly to look at Alastor, not knowing who else came with him.
"I would like to inform you that you have a visitor," Alastor added.
"Oh? A visitor? Who is it? WAIT, DAD?" Charlie exclaimed as that was the last person she expected to see at the hotel. She hadn't seen her dad in some time. She especially never saw him after coming up with this redemption idea.
"Hello, Charlotte," Lucifer responded in a stern tone. He currently was looking around the inside of the hotel. "I see you did a bit of...renovating in here. Looks better than I remember it," he added, as this place was originally owned by him after all. He kept on looking around at the interior, but this time, it wasn't at the decorations.
"W-Wow. Well, this is unexpected. I didn't expect you to come here," Charlie said.
"Can't say I expected to be here today, but I came to talk with you," Lucifer responded.
"O-Oh. Is that right?" Charlie said in a nervous tone. She figured she was about to get scolded or told once again to stop pursuing this idea.
"I would like this talk to be in private," Lucifer said as he looked at Alastor, then Husk, Angel, and Niffty at the bar. "I know this one always feels the need to eavesdrop, and I don't know any of them."
"WE COULD CHANGE THAT HANDSOME," Angel exclaimed from the bar.
"Angel!" Charlie responded. She then focused back on her dad. "Okay we can talk. Let's just go outside."
"Fine," Lucifer said. Now he was leading the way outside. The others watched as they left and then looked at Alastor who walked near them.
"So what the fuck was that about?" Husk asked.
"How do you mean?" Alastor asked, acting oblivious.
"Okay don't play fucking dumb. You come in, and the fucking king of hell strolls in behind you wanting to talk? In the entire time I've been down here, and the entire time I've been dragged to this place, I've never seen Lucifer before," Husk responded.
"Yeahhhh. Clearly, you were with him before you came here. What were y'all doing? Fucking?" Angel asked.
"Of course not. But I will admit we did participate in some discussions," Alastor answered, stirring away from the actual answer.
"Something sexual?" Angel asked again.
"Not everything is about sex, Angel," Husk said.
"Shit, I know, but towards a guy like Alastor it makes it funnier," Angel said with a short laugh after it.
"So, what did you and Lucifer talk about?" Niffty said to Alastor.
"Niffty my dear, not everything needs to be shared," Alastor responded.
"Okay that's always fucking suspicious," Husk said with a stern look.
"Yeah you seem real against spilling whatever is going on. You sure you two didn't let out some pent-up overlord aggression on one another?" Angel said, asking the same question in a different way.
"There is nothing wrong with me not wanting to share the intricacies of our conversation with one another," Alastor said as he just ignored Angel's response this time.
"Well you clearly said something about Charlie to make him want to talk to her," Niffty said.
"She was brought up...but, I'm afraid that wasn't the topic of discussion. But that is all I will reveal. Good day," Alastor said with a gesture as he proceeded up the stairs.
"Something is fucking up, that's for sure," Husk said.
"Most likely," Niffty said as well.
"What do you both think it is?" Angel asked.
"Usually when Alastor plays this little game where he doesn't want to share something, it usually means he's got some trick up his sleeve," Husk explained.
"We'll call it an ulterior motive," Niffty added.
"Bingo," Husk said as he pointed at Niffty with one of his claws after she said that.
"Well, I guess I'll take yer word for it as ya both know him a lot better than I do," Angel said.
Outside, Charlie kept following her dad down the path. He wanted to be well away from the door, so nobody could eavesdrop on their conversation by placing their ear against the door or something of that nature.
"So. Dad. What is uh...what is up?" Charlie said in a nervous tone, followed by a nervous chuckle. Due to the fact they hadn't spoke or seen one another in a while, she figured this was something big.
Lucifer currently said nothing as he just admired the exterior again. He slowly moved his eyesight down towards his daughter. "So. I see you still are committed to this hotel of yours."
Charlie figured that would be the topic of conversation. That was not a good sign. But she would stand behind her idea 100%. "I am. We have a good thing going right now. We got a lot of help thanks to Alastor, and the hotel is looking good as new. We are ready to start making big strides towards the public."
"Mhm. You still believe that these low-life sinners deserve that kind of treatment?" Lucifer asked as that was something he used the first time they argued about this.
"I do. Nobody is perfect! Everyone deserves a second chance," Charlie said. But she realized she had used that same line with him before.
"Not everyone does," Lucifer responded. "Which is why if you continue this impossible idea, you have to really watch who you actually accept in this hotel."
"But that isn't fair to others. If certain people want to join how could we just refuse them?" Charlie asked.
"Because it's common sense. If you had some powerful, unpredictable psychopath wanting to join, you would just let them?" Lucifer said. Charlie didn't know it, but he was just setting her up for a more significant point.
"You know what? I would. Because if that person came here of all places, that must mean they want to change," Charlie said, which certainly wasn't a bad point to make.
Lucifer just let out a sigh as he still wasn't going to be able to convince her otherwise. "You are way too trusting, Charlotte. I don't know why, but you are. You've always been that way."
"Look, dad, while I am trying to find the good in people down here, that doesn't mean I'm completely oblivious to dangers or threats," Charlie responded.
"Well, I'd hope so," Lucifer said. "But then again, you do seem oblivious to one. Because of that, it makes me wonder why you would go out and let him stay here," he then responded as he wanted to get more to the point.
"Who? Alastor? Look, I was just as skeptical as you when the Radio Demon of all demons came to our doors and wanted to help with the idea. And no, I knew better than to conduct any magic binding deals or anything of that nature. But like I said, he is a real help," Charlie answered. At least, she thought she had responded to the question.
"Not. Him," Lucifer said, giving another hint.
"Not Alastor? Um well I don't know who you're referring to. WAIT! Are you talking about the human?" Charlie asked, as she didn't expect her dad to have a problem with him.
"I am referring to him. I just found out that you gave him a damn room here?" Lucifer asked.
"Yeah I did, but what is wrong with that? He is a human in hell. Not like he had anywhere to stay," Charlie said.
"Why should that be your concern? That man is a literal freak of nature. That person should not even exist, and that is someone that you cannot trust. He's literally called the Doom Slayer, for hell's sake!" Lucifer exclaimed.
"But why should that matter? He has been getting those same reactions from anyone. Others seem to be cold towards him or just fear him in general," Charlie said.
"Because that is not normal. We know hardly a thing about this human. According to those logs, apparently, he could be of god-level power. Are you really willing to take a chance on a god with severe anger issues?"
"Look dad, I know he's still a mystery to everyone of where he came from or who he really is but the only reason he ever kills anyone is when others try to kill him. Look at me. I'm still just fine with him around," Charlie said as she motioned over her entire body to show that no harm had fallen upon her.
"Hmph. So, you are telling me there have been no moments where he nearly killed someone?" Lucifer asked, going back to what Alastor had told him.
"I...well. Okay yes, but he clearly was going through something at the time where what he was seeing wasn't real," Charlie said, defending the Slayer.
"And you're just prepared to live with that knowledge knowing he could snap and just go on a killing spree," Lucifer said giving a picture.
"I have pure confidence that he won't do that. I don't plan on trying to hurt him and after hearing of the things he has done during his time here, I doubt anyone here will as well," Charlie said in a very optimistic tone.
"It is fucking hell Charlie. You don't always have to attack someone for them to wind up killing you," Lucifer argued.
"What is your deal with him? I know you always have been skeptical about other beings who clearly have powers but you seem extra against him," Charlie said.
"I have my reasons, I'll leave it at that," Lucifer said at first, but decided to give her a better response. "To tell you the truth I do not like him and he does not like me either. You don't think that would raise some concerns with me that he may try to spite me in some way?"
"Well due to his...personality. You could say that he doesn't like anyone," Charlie said trying to bring in a little joke on the Slayer's anger to make the mood a little lighter.
"Despite your obvious attempt at a joke, I still believe that to be true. I mean do you even know if he likes you or any of those other demons you have there?" Lucifer asked.
"Well...he hasn't left yet," Charlie said with a shrug as that was about the only comeback she could think of.
"Like you said, he has nowhere else to stay," Lucifer said. He then started to think of why Charlie was doing this. "Is it because of your interest in humans? I remember how much you asked me about them when you were young. Is that why you're so keen on defending him?" he said, thinking he had found the reason.
"I suppose a little. But what is so wrong with humans to you anyways?" Charlie asked as she thought she found her own reason.
"Charlotte you know how long I've been alive. How many terrible humans I've seen come and go. I know very well I don't have to keep on repeating on why hell is so overcrowded," Lucifer responded.
Charlie let out a small defeated sigh as she knew she would never get her dad to agree with her once again. "Dad, I really think you are thinking too low of him. I'm still trying to slowly dig into who he really is. I know you heard the logs, he protects what I have to believe are humans. It sounds like he puts himself in danger for others. I really don't think he is the person you think he is."
"In a way, I could say the same thing," Lucifer said, giving her a stern look.
"I think whatever you two have going on you should try to let it go," Charlie said. "Well. I don't see that happening, and besides, how would I know 'cause he doesn't speak!" Lucifer said. That seemed to be the thing he hated most about the Slayer. The guy just ignored everything Lucifer said to him, which gets quite annoying after a while.
"Well, only when he absolutely wants to," Charlie said.
"What is that supposed to mean? You've heard him speak?" Lucifer asked.
"I have. But he's only said a total of one word to me, and I don't expect anything more," Charlie answered.
"Well isn't that perfect? He can speak but just chooses to spite me and stay silent," Lucifer said making himself annoyed.
"If you were nicer to him, maybe he would speak," Charlie said.
"Being the ruler of hell doesn't incline me to be nice to anyone 'cause I could make everyone's life so much worse," Lucifer said, letting some of his demonic side take over. Charlie would still admit that her dad still scares her when he does that.
"Look. I don't really wanna have the same arguments with you when I have stuff to do for the hotel," Charlie said as she began to walk back towards the doors. As she was walking she expected her dad to say something but to her surprise, he said nothing. In fact, he didn't make a noise. As she was walking she turned around to see he was gone. That was strange to her as her dad never just vanished before. Or so she thought. She turned around and got startled by the fact her dad just appeared in front of the doors.
"That wouldn't be necessary if you took a moment to listen to what I am saying to you," Lucifer said giving her that fatherly stare.
"I am listening to what you are saying. I just believe you are too paranoid at times," Charlie said as she went and opened the doors.
"You really should finally heed the words I say and be extremely wary of this Slayer as it still doesn't seem like you will listen to my words and change your mind on this...hotel." Lucifer said as now Charlie and him walked through the doors. Although for the three demons remaining at the bar, they only caught the back end of that sentence.
"I plan on seeing it through, that's for sure," Charlie responded even though her dad was not pleased with that response.
"Of course you do. You keep on doing it against my better judgment," Lucifer responded.
"Look, dad," Charlie said with a small sigh, as she knew there was no convincing her dad to go along with her plan. And to be honest, she didn't want to keep going back and forth with this as he wasn't in a good mood throughout that entire conversation. But she did see that him being so concerned with the Slayer did show that he still was looking out for her like he promised he always would when she was very young. "I appreciate your concern for me, but for those that choose to come to stay here, clearly they want to change and become a better person. And I don't see him causing any harm to me."
"You should realize there is always more to someone than meets the eye," Lucifer said. His attention went elsewhere as he heard a few loud noises. His eyes went upwards as he finally saw the Slayer standing up at the very top of the staircase. Then came the loud, pounding footsteps as the Slayer walked slowly and menacingly down the stairs with Lucifer in his view of sight the whole time. Once he reached the bottom he took a few steps away from the staircase and actually had open fists as he was ready for a fight. Lucifer, however, was not. It wasn't the right time for him yet, as he still needed to know more of this human. But that didn't stop him from returning a stern glare. It seemed like Charlie was maybe getting through to him about the human, but once he saw the Slayer come down and square him up again, it seemed to go right out the door. It is why he decided to speak loud enough for everyone in the room to hear it, "Especially people like him," he said. He then turned around and began to walk towards the doors before vanishing out of thin air.
"Damn. Looked like they were boutta fuck each other up," Angel said as he did want to see that fight.
"I think it's clear now who they were really talking about," Husk spoke.
"Yep," Niffty said as well.
"Well, judging from this giant wall of tension that was just created, I'd say they don't like each other very much," Angel said. He then looked at the Slayer as he proceeded towards the doors and out into hell again. Then, their attention went towards Charlie as she was walking near them. "So Charlie, yer dad not a fan of muscles over here?"
"Um. Okay no, he clearly doesn't like him. But I really don't know why? I don't know what he could have done to my dad to make him so against him," Charlie answered. She then started to think about something else. "But, after seeing the hu- I mean after seeing the Slayer's reaction to seeing my dad, there must be something going on between them."
"Definitely seems that way. They both didn't seem like they were happy to see one another," Niffty added.
"That is what worries me. I feel like it may lead to them fighting and I couldn't even tell you what that outcome would bring," Charlie said.
"Probably a good ass fight," Angel said with a slight chuckle. "Aw c'mon princess it really would be!" He added as Charlie still didn't want to think about that.
Kingdom of hell
Lucifer appeared back in his home. He let out a small breath of air as he walked over to a fancy table that had a mirror hanging over it. Lucifer took off his top hat and placed it on the table and looked at himself in the mirror. He decided to fix his golden hair until something unexpected happened.
"You would be wise to cease the path you are proceeding."
This made Lucifer turn around in an instant and caused his eyes to dart around the room as he swore he just heard someone speak to him. "Who is there? You would be wise to show yourself since you already pissed me off by breaking into my home unannounced."
