Monday morning, my first 'official' day working for Vox Tech or just Vox. I wasn't sure. I woke up earlier than normal for some reason and quickly decided to make a pot of coffee. I knew Alastor always liked a fresh cup first thing in the morning, he might be up already anyway.

Slowly slipping from my bed I stumble around the darkroom to get dressed in black leggings and a deep red blouse. Hopefully Alastor won't change my clothes this time. The man usually dresses me in reds, most likely to match him, and if I am matching him maybe he won't redress me again. I hated feeling like a doll.

Walking down the many halls of this hotel I made my way towards the kitchen to start the coffee. Only we were out. Moaning to myself I slump my shoulders and made my way to the front of the hotel. Husk was asleep at the bar snoring softly as I slipped by.

I made sure to leave as quietly as I could, I didn't want to wake the cat demon. Stretching my arms I was happy to see not a lot of demons awake at this time. Thankfully I didn't have to deal with anyone just yet. Hell's Brews was just in sight, it was five blocks away from the hotel. My memory flashed with Vox's orders for me to get his usual but I just shook my head. Maybe there was another shop closer to Vee tower.

I quickly grab three bags of coffee grounds, I don't want to have to make this trip again. I ended up being third in line, letting me look over the bakery items. The muffins looked amazing right now. I could totally go for a muffin. When it was my turn I tossed the bags on the counter and quickly ordered six muffins and a lemon scone. Maybe Alastor would like that one. Hopefully it wasn't too sweet for him.

With my bag of sweets and coffee I trekked back to the hotel unaware of the security camera following me. I just wanted to get back to the hotel to make my coffee.

My entire adventure took me half an hour and now the giant pentagram in the sky was higher up. Demons were walking the streets bustling to get to their jobs. I knew Charlie and Vaggie would still be asleep. Nifty I wasn't sure if she would be awake or not, sometimes I can hear her scuttling around the halls chasing after vermin, Husk was always a hit or miss in the morning. He was more of an afternoon/night owl. Angel would be up early to do yoga if he felt like it. He was always stretching his body to different positions to help with work. And Alastor…I wasn't sure if he ever slept. He was always full of energy.

Making my way to the kitchen I quickly started the coffee maker and organized the muffins nicely on a plate for everyone to grab. I left the lemon scone on a small plate for Alastor if he wanted it. If not I'm sure Charlie would like it. She loved all sorts of baked goods, she was so precious, just a big kid. She needed to be protected at all costs.

"Good Morning my dear," I practically jumped out of my skin hearing Alastor pop up out of nowhere. 'Damn he really is like a wendigo, think about him or say his name enough and he appears.'

"Morning," I gave a tired smile, pulling out coffee cups and pouring the liquid gold in both. "Cream and sugar?"

"Black is fine dear." nodding my head I extend the cup to him and get to work fixing mine up. Just some sugar and a splash of cream. It needed something to make up for the bitter taste. "Did you make these?" Alastor looked at the muffin's head cocked to the side, a curious grin on his face.

"No, I couldn't bake to save my life." I laughed, quickly hearing him let out a chuckle as well. "I picked them up this morning when I saw we were out of coffee…I grabbed you this if you're interested in it. You said you weren't a fan of sweet things so…" I hand him the small plate with the lemon scone on it. "I thought you might like it." Alastor took the plate from me and placed it on the counter. "Thank you very much, that was very sweet of you darling." He patted my head affectionately.

"Come, join me on the balcony." He took his coffee and treat, walking towards the terrace on the second floor. I grabbed my drink and muffin and walked behind him excited to just wake up and enjoy some peace. We sat at the small table for two, it was strange I didn't think there was a table out here. It must have been Alastor's doing. He changed things around here so much.

The silence wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, almost comforting. Alastor was just sipping at his coffee and watching the city. I was nibbling at my muffin soaking up the sun. I couldn't help glancing at the man in front of me from time to time. He really was handsome. But that didn't matter, he was my boss now.

Looking back towards the city my eyes widen in surprise. "Uh…" Alastor chuckles watching the war machine appear outside the hotel. "Aren't you worried?"

"Why ever for?" I was going to respond but chose against it. Maybe it was best that I didn't answer. He might get offended, thinking I called him weak. He was one of Hell's strongest overlords for a reason. Maybe if I didn't react or worry he would take care of it on his own?

My hand shook as I held my coffee cup, seeing the blaster that was pointed at us not too long ago actually fire into the hotel's wall. I couldn't help yelping as the building shook. "Are you alright darling? Don't tell me you're frightened by this pathetic attempt?"

My mouth opened and closed, unsure how to answer him. "No…the uh, the blast made me spill my coffee is all." I shook my hand trying to shake some of the coffee that had actually spilled off my hand. Of course I wasn't going to say that I was scared, for all I knew Alastor might actually give me a reason to be scared. "Of course, of course, not to worry my dear, I shall take care of this."

"Show yourself, Alastor!" The voice of Sir Pentious echoed around the vicinity. "Come and face-" He paused looking away from the blast in the wall to the balcony where Alastor and I sat. Alastor gave a cheeky grin not at all worried for his well being. "Oh, there you are."

"Face my wrath!" He exclaims pointing the lazer at us.

"Who are you?" oh that shit eating grin he threw that snake demons way only seemed to piss him off more. Alastor knew exactly who he was. "Who am I? Who am I?! I am the great Sir Pentious! Inventor, architect of destruction. Villain extraordinaire!" He stated matter of factly.

Alastor stood to his full height leaving his mug on the table, grasping my hand as he did so tugging me to stand as well. I did as he did, placing my mug on the table and stood only to feel his shadowy energy wrap around my body. I felt myself falling but not at the same time. It wasn't like I was being summoned. It felt like I was being held close to someone. Or in this case. Alastor.

As soon as I was back on my own two feet I stepped away feeling more comfortable with Angel. Charlie was the only one of the three to look shocked. Angel looked annoyed and Vaggie looked pissed. "Woo! You tell 'em, boss!" Frank exclaimed excitedly throwing a fist in the air.

Nifty ran up beside us and jumped on Alastor's shoulder staring dreamily up at the war machine. "Ooooh, he's a bad boy." She sounded really excited about Sir Pentious. "Nifty no, don't simp after the real bad boys." I tried not to laugh. Everyone was entitled to liking a bad boy in books or movies but in real life? It was a bit different.

"Hm? Well if all thats true, you'd think I'd have heard of you." Alastor stated smugly plucking Nifty off his shoulder and placing her on the ground. "He attacked us last week, you used your shadow tentacle things and then made a really good jambalaya." I reminded him hoping he wasn't just joking to be a dick to the snake man.

"She remembers!" He pointed a finger down in my direction. Alastor cocked his head shrugging his shoulders seeming to have no clue what we were talking about. "We've done battle, like…twenty times." Sir Pentious was getting more aggravated by the second at having been forgotten.

Alastor shrugs again "Well, you must have been really bad at this." Even Charlie, Angel, and Vaggie were confused at Alastor's antics.

"Silence!" Sir Pentious snaps hissing on the letter 'S' "Now cower. For when I've slain you, the almighty Vee's will finally acknowledge me as their equal!" He said matter of factly, almost proud to be in the running with the Vee's.

"Ooooh!" Nifty appeared on Alastor's shoulder again excited. "Wait…who are the Vee's?" She was confused not knowing that they were very powerful overlords. "Oh, nobody important." Alastor smirked, not bothering to pull Nifty off him this time.

I could feel my phone buzzing in my pocket as we spoke, I didn't bother looking knowing it could only be Vox. I didn't want a job with him so it's not my fault he thinks I work for him now. Alastor didn't waste any time in conjuring his tentacles and ripping apart his war machine. Sir Pentious could be heard screaming, begging for him to stop.

Vox sat in his control room tapping his foot incessantly, his new secretary was late. Very late. He was fucking pissed. He told her to pick up the fucking phone whenever he called. He saw her earlier at his coffee shop and was slightly pissed to see her dressed in something Velvette would like, but she went back to this shit hotel!

She ignored his messages and went back inside the hotel like she didn't have a fucking job to do. He was already pissed when Velvette called him to calm down Valentino. He put on a easy going face as he spoke with the reporters answering their questions on what Vox Tech would do to protect them against the next extermination.

Speaking with Velvette he made his way to Valentino's tower and found the moth like man sitting by his bed drinking relentlessly surrounded by red smoke. "Fucking finally!" Valentino yells smashing his glass. "Kitty, another drink." the robo servant scuttled off quickly you could barely see her. "Can you believe what that piece of shit did?!" Valentino rants standing from his seat grabbing the new glass. "That ungrateful whore!" He shouts throwing the new drink at Vox who at this point was just done with his friend and moved out of the way.

"Which whore are we talking about this time?" Vox rolled his eyes pulling out his phone and messaging Candy again.

Vox: Where the fuck are you.

Vox: I told you to be here at 8.

Vox: You better get your ass over here this instant!

"Fucking Angel Dust!" Valentino said like it was the only answer. "Who else would I fucking be talking about? That fucking slut walked out on me. ME. I fucking made him. Without me, he's just a bag of meat with just some mildly entertaining holes." He growls to himself glaring out the large window.

"Angel quit?" Vox asked not caring in the slightest.

Vox: I'm warning you, if you aren't here in the next ten minutes I'll end you!

Vox: You better have a good fucking reason for being so late.

Valentino shot towards Vox glaring at his friend. "No! He didn't fucking quit. It's worse!" Valentino snatched Vox's phone out of his hand forcing his friend to pay full attention to him. "He moved!" Throwing the device into the wall shattering it into tiny pieces. Vox looked down at where his phone was then back to the wall. "He thinks he can just walk in here, work, then go home somewhere else!"

Valentino looked like he had officially snapped, like a heartbroken boyfriend. "Can you fucking believe that?! He thinks he can run off and shack up with Lucifers bimbo daughter!"

Vox thoroughly annoyed at this point, turned to face Valentino who was searching through his closet for something. "Angel is living with Lucifer's daughter now?" Where the hell was his fucking secretary to get him out of this. "Yeah, that bitch. Chalkie or Chandler, or I don't know. Something mannish like that." he growls. "She's got this hotel and…" pulling out two guns one longer than the other holding them up to his face. "Which of these makes me look sexier?"

"What are you doing, Val?" Let out a forced laugh. "You're not going over there." He said glaring down at his friend who didn't seem to be paying attention. "That slippery twink is going to remember who owns him. I'm going to fuck everyone in in that rancid shithole. I swear to god."

Vox quickly grabbed Valentino and got in his face. "Val!" pulling back some he placed his arm around his waist as they walked away from the weapons closet. "Think about it," he chuckles again. "Our brand is perfection. And what do you think chasing whores around town will do for our image?"

The two were staring out the large pink glass window staring at the vast buildings and demons. "Uh…fuck it up?"

"Right!" Vox smiled pulling back acting like Valentino just won them twenty million dollars. "Do you want people to think you can't control your employees?"

"No!" He looked offended by even being asked that. "Exactly! And hey, you still have him under contract. He isn't going anywhere. So, you should…"

"Do nothing?"

"Great idea! Now thats why they pay you the big bucks." Vox grins acting like a teacher now with a student. "But I really wanted to shoot someone…" Valentino pouts slumping his shoulders. "Well, let me call up the lower earners this month."

"Oh, you know me too well." Valentino chuckles a wicked gleam in his eyes. Still pissy and wanting Vox to be upset as well, Valentino glanced back at Vox who had moved to one of the many monitors in his room. "You know, Angel isn't the only one spending time at this ratty hole with the devil's princessa."

Vox pulls out another phone from one of the drawer and quickly signed into his voxcloud account. Glaring down at the screen when he saw no messages from his secretary.

Vox: Where the fuck are you.

"Oh? Who else is there? Someone who owes you money?" Vox asked distractedly again.

"Someone who owes much more than money. The Radio Demon is there." Vox's eyes widen as he left claw marks into the dresser. He could only laugh, it was impossible. "What did you just say?"

Valentino smirked blowing a puff of smoke "You heard me." turning around he slowly stalked towards his friend. "Alastor came back and he is with Lucifers daughter," His voice glitched as he got closer. "And that wasn't the first fucking thing you told me?!" Grasping the fur lining his jacket he pulled Valentino closer to his face.

"Hey, killing Alastor is your kink." he laughed. Walking back towards the dresser and pressing a button showing Vox exactly where Alastor was.

He was quick to zap himself over to the monitor where he saw Alastor standing out front. "Is that…Thats the fucking bitch I hired!"

"AGH! Oh please stop!" Sir Pentious cried as his war machine was being tossed around by black tentacles. Alastor didn't seem to want to stop, he was enjoying the torment far too much. Chuckling and struggling to stay standing up straight.

This had been going on for the past twenty minutes, we all were getting rather bored of this but Alastor couldn't stop his giggling. "Um, Alastor? I think he's had enough." Charlie tried to stop him only for Angel to smirk showing he was enjoying the snakes torment. "Nah, I think he's got a few more hits in im."

"I don't know…oops there he goes." We all watched as he clawed at his machine trying to stay in his ship only to fall face first into the pavement. "Thats gotta hurt." I mumble taking a step closer to get a better look at the demon. He couldn't be dead. Right?

And just to rub salt in the demons wounds Alastor leaned down leaning on his cane as he spoke. "Thanks for another forgettable experience." Sir Pentious lifted a broken finger pointing at Alastor as he did so. "Thank…you…" he grunted forcing himself to speak. "For letting your guard down!" His tail shot out grasping on the end of his tailcoat and ripping a chunk off.

"He's dead."

"Think so?"

I nodded my head to Alastor's form quickly turning into his wendigo looking form and sending the demon flying through the air. "Dead. You don't mess with the mans suit." I mutter watching the demon fall. "Remind me not to touch it."

Nodding my head I glance back at my friend. "Well, it looks as though I need a visit to the tailor. Come along darling." He walked away not even brother to wait and see if I was following. "Best of luck chums."

"Wait. You're leaving?"

"See you later guys! I'll get started on lunch when we get back!" I yelled to Angel who was still looking at Pentious. "Alastor, we need your help. We need you to do your job." Vaggie snapped glaring at the tall demon who paused where he stood. "We need a wall." Angel gestured to the caved in wall.

"Of course. Can't let my new project fall into disrepair already. What would the papers say?" Snapping his fingers an entire construction crew appeared. It was still amazing how he was able to do anything with a snap of his fingers. "Come now darling,"

"Coming!" quickening my step we walked side by side as Angel flirted with one of the crewmen. As we walked I could hear the fair sounds of a drone flying by. Glancing above I didn't see one but turning around I noticed it hovering behind us. "Uh…Alastor?"

"Yes darling?"

"You've been around Hell for a while now…Hell doesn't have cops does it?" a series of chuckles left the mans lips. "You mean those bull's from up above?" Nodding my head, my eyes never left the drone. "Of course not, why ever would we need such ruckus?"

Squinting my eyes confused, I faced the man now. He often liked to use words I didn't get. Alastor loved to confuse the hell out of me. "Ho,ho!" He reached out patting my head "But I wonder, why is it you are concerned."

His fingers fell from my hair and slid to my chin. "You needn't worry while with me, doll." Scrunching my brows together, I was quick to take notice of the new nickname again. "Okay," his smile grew as he used the hand holding my chin and quickly pinched my cheek "Such a doll,"

I pouted when he finally turned his back on me rubbing my cheek. 'What a weird man…Maybe Angel's right. Maybe he does 'like' me.' I snorted to myself rolling my eyes, 'Yeah right, not likely.' We walked up the familiar steps to his tailor. "Be a dear and go get me some Venison, I seem to be out at the hotel."

Nodding my head I watched him stand above me, taller than before. "If you are to need me for any reason at all, you need only call." Nodding again but slower I stare at him confused. That didn't make any sense, how was he going to help me if I was in trouble if we weren't together. "Tata," another head pat and he was gone.

"I swear he treats me like a pet some days." I mumble walking down the many streets till I found a butcher shop. My phone buzzed once again and I finally pulled it out seeing the many messages from Vox. He sounded really pissed. Scrolling through the messages I let out a sigh and shook my head putting my phone back in my pocket to order Alastor's food.

It wasn't that bad of a shop the guy seemed nice enough. Even nicer when he found out who the meat was for. I wasn't sure if he wanted to eat it raw or not so I got two five pound hunks. He could choose what he'd like to do with it and we could freeze the rest so we can fry it up later.

'Since I'm here we could totally go for some steaks. I haven't had a good steak in so long it would be amazing.' I got enough T-bones for all of us and payed the man.

Walking outside everyone was crowded around one of the electronic stores listening to Vox almost hypnotized. Glancing over I shrug my shoulders not bothering to watch Vox flip from different stations. He was spouting something nonsensical about Alastor.

So when I heard Alastor on the radio I had to pause and watch. Laughter bubbled up my throat at this pissing contest. Alastor always had the best comebacks when it came to Vox. Shaking my head I laughed making my way back to the hotel, it sounded like Alastor was in his radio tower. I guessed it was an easy fix with Robert so he went to teach Vox a lesson.

It took me maybe twenty minutes to get to the hotel by walking and I was quick to put both sets of meat in the fridge. "There you are!" glancing behind me I saw a very annoyed Angel. "You didn't come back with freaky face," he pouts, slumping his shoulders.

"Awww, did you miss me?" I coo turning to face him fully now. "As is. You're the only one who cooks in this god forsaken hotel."

Giggling to myself I face him fully. "Actually I caught Alastor in here making dishes he's craving. Kinda wish he'd teach me some of those recipes." Angel scoffed, rolling his eyes again. "If you wanted to learn recipes I'll teach you." I watched him saunter over to my pantry looking through all my supplies. I watched as all his hands reached out grasping different spices, veggies, and oil.

"What are you making?" I creep closer looking over his shoulder. It had something to do with artichokes and tomatoes. I watched as Angel moved at a fast pace already in a rhythm as he made himself comfortable in my kitchen.

"Braised Artichokes. It's to die for." Shrugging my shoulders I watched studying his technique. "Mind writing this down when your done so I can make it again?" He was almost like a nonna or well the grandfather version. I think it's Nonno. "Now if we want to be really fancy with this, we could get whiskers to make us some drinks."

"Oh you wanna be fancy fancy." I snickered.

"Obviously! We're always fancy."

I couldn't stop laughing as Angel showed me how to make this dish, it was nice us bonding together over food.
