Chapte6 : Angel Dust
A/N: Hey everyone! Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Holiday! As the title implies we get to see a certain spider demon! Jennifer gets to meet the Hotel's first client. Wonder how that's gonna turn out? This is based off the actual comic on the Hazbin Hotel website so if you haven't read it, please do!
And I posted one of the art pieces up for the story! It's about our favorite duo! If you go on my Deviantart page you should be able to see it.
Without further ado, let's get on with the story!
Also, I'll be talking about some of Hell lore so if I get something wrong, please let me know. I'm still learning about how this universe works so every little bit of info will help me lol
Disclaimer: I don't own Hazbin Hotel or Helluva boss, I just own Jennifer.
Enjoy!

The girls ended up back at the Hotel a lot earlier than they intended. They would have been out longer if a turf war hadn't broken out in the streets. Jenny was desperate to get to Blitzo, but not desperate enough to get herself blown up.
"I didn't think there was going to be a turf war today! They usually happen right after the cleanse" Charlie insisted.
'What is this cleanse thing she keeps talking about?' Jenny wondered.
She was tempted to ask but thought better of it. She wasn't planning on staying here long so why bother?
Vaggie went up to her and held out a map.
"This might be easier to find you friend" she said.
"We can figure out which area's to search and mark of places we've looked at"
Jenny took the map carefully. This was the key to finding her best friend.
Going over to the bar, she placed the map on the counter and opened it up. Like all maps, it was hard to read and navigate.
Charlie went up to her and pointed at the map.
"Like I mentioned before there are seven rings of Hell. Each ring represents the seven deadly sins such as Pride, Wrath, Greed, etc. We're on the Pride ring, which is at the very top. However, each ring has nine circles. They kinda act like districts or regions in human terms"
"So basically what you're saying is in order to find Imp City, it would be easier to search one circle at a time?" Jenny asked.
Charlie nodded sadly.
"It'll be time consuming, but it's better than nothing"
Jenny looked at the map. She didn't like the idea of searching every single circle just to find Blitzo, but she didn't have any other choice. It was either take the long, easy route or take the short one and get utterly lost.
"We'll I guess we better start off with the circle that isn't involved with a turf war right now" she joked weakly.
"That's the spirit! We'll find your friend in no time, I promise" Charlie insisted.
Jennifer just looked back at the map and ran her finger along one of the many lines that made it up.
"Just hang in there a little bit, Blitzy"
/
Blitzo slapped the last piece of paper onto his office board. Stepping back, he looked at his handiwork. He had turned the whole room into a forensic like lab where he had charts, maps and pictures that dealt with Jennifer. Nodding in satisfaction, he turned to his coworkers and placed his hands on his hips.
"Alright gang, starting today we have a new side job. Every time we go topside to kill someone, we gather as much information as we can about Jenny's disappearance. We gotta find those ass lickers who were stupid enough to kidnap her and then blow their brains out"
Millie was all on board, Loona said whatever while Moxxie looked hesitant.
"Shouldn't we leave this for the police? I'm sure they're searching for her as we speak, Sir"
Blitzo scoffed.
"Do you have any idea how many people go missing each year, Mox? They're just gonna search for a week and throw this under the rug like they do with all their crimes"
"But sir, we kill people outside of Jenny's town all the time. There's no way anyone from a different area is going to know about her. And may I remind you, that we can't be seen by humans? If we do our own little investigation, we'll be spotted"
Blitzo slammed his hand on the desk, causing the group to jump.
"You think I give a rat's ass about being spotted?! Our best friend is missing and who knows what the fuck is going on with her! She could be trapped in some remote location, she could be tortured, she could be-"
He couldn't even bring himself to finish his sentence. Just the thought of picturing his best friend in pain or worse made him want to throw up.
"Bottom line is, if the roles were reversed you know damn well she would do anything to help us. We're able to do things that humans can't so we're her only hope"
Moxxie didn't say anything. He understood where Blitzo was coming from. If anything had happened to Millie, he would be beside himself. He knew how precious Jennifer was to his boss, but he also knew they couldn't be reckless.
"I understand, Sir. I'm just saying if we do this, we need to be extra careful. If we get caught, then we'll be useless to Jenny"
Blitzo turned way from him and looked at the chart he made.
"That's just a risk I'm willing to take" he said quietly.
Then he said to himself.
"Anything if it means keeping her safe"

The next morning was round two of heading for the city. After checking the news to make sure there were no other turf wars, the girls hopped into the limo and headed into town.
"Alright, it looks like we're more closer to the sixth circle, so we'll start from there" Charlie said.
"And while we're at it, we can promote the hotel!"
"That can wait, Charlie" Vaggie said.
"We need to get Jennifer home before we bring sinners into the Hotel. No one can know a human is down here, remember?"
"I-I know, but I just thought we could multi-task while we're at it" Charlie said sheepishly.
Jennifer looked between the two girls and inwardly sighed. She agreed with Vaggie it probably wasn't a good idea to try to promote their hotel while they were trying to get her back home. But at the same time Charlie was taking a big risk hiding her and helping her out. She was dressed up to look like a Sinner so what could go wrong?
"It's alright, you two. We can promote the hotel while we look for Imp City. We're already driving around the area so might as well kill two birds with one stone, right?"
"You sure you're ok with that?" Vaggie asked.
Jennifer nodded.
"It's no problem. You two were working on this way before I showed up so there's no need to push it back. Maybe while we're advertising the hotel someone might know about Imp City"
Charlie cheered in her seat.
"That's what I was thinking! Alright, let's go on our multi-task adventure!"
Jennifer groaned as she looked out the window.
'What did I agree myself into?'
/
"Do you guys have enough guns and liquor stores down here?" Jennifer deadpanned.
She scanned the streets like a hawk for Imp City but couldn't find anything.
"It's Hell, what do you expect to find down here?" Vaggie said flatly.
"I dunno, maybe something you wouldn't see top side, like a vending machine containing drugs...never mind, just passed one. Oh! And now we have a guns and liquor stores combined. Now you can get your shopping needs all in one store"
Vaggie pinched the bridge of her nose while Charlie giggled.
"I guess you're stores are very different in the human realm, huh?"
Jennifer shrugged as she continued to look out the window.
"Not really. Humans are just as violent as demons...sometimes even worse. The only difference is that we've learned how to hide it better from everyone. Oh look! Now we have a hooker waiting on the side of the road"
Charlie looked out the window to see the prostitute and smiled.
"Perfect!"
She told the driver to pull up next to prostitute.
"Charlie, what are you doing?!" Vaggie yelled.
"Yeah, we're both in the car! If you're looking for a good time, at least wait until Vaggie and I are out!" Jenny added.
Charlie gave them a look.
"Shut it, that's not what I'm doing"
She lowered the window, where a pink spider like sinner was leaning against the frame.
"Well, they there~ See som-"
The hooker stopped when he saw three women in the back of the limo. Stepping back, he crossed a set of his arms across his chest while he held a third hand up.
"Who now... for a foursome, I charge extra. And since you're all women that's double"
Charlie quickly leaned out of the limo and waved her hand.
"No, no, no, We don't want any of that! I was wondering if we could talk to you real quick..."
"I'm on the clock, sista" the spider said.
"Ya gotta pay if you wanna waste my time"
Charlie beamed as she opened up the door.
"Sure! I can do that!"
The spider raised an eyebrow before shrugging and getting into the limo. As he got in, he climbed over Charlie and Vaggie to get into his seat.
"Ya got any booze in this fancy-ass car?" he asked.
Vaggie held the bridge of her nose as she looked at her girlfriend.
"Are you sure you wanna talk to this person?" she asked.
"Hey, it could have been worse. She could have talked to a serial killer" Jenny pointed out.
"Nice to see I'm above a serial killer" the spider said sarcastically as he plopped down next to Jenny.
"So what do you want? Like I said, I'm on the clock"
"First off, what's your name? Mister...?" Vaggie said.
"Angel. As in Angel Dust the porn star. I'm kinda famous here, bitch"
"Was that necessary?" Vaggie snapped
Angel Dust wore a shit eating grin.
"Nah, but those words tend to just slip outta me..."
Vaggie sighed and decided to get on with their task.
"I'm Vaggie, this is Charlie. We-"
"Like Vagina?!" Angel Dust blurted out.
Jennifer snorted really loud and quickly covered her mouth. She gave Vaggie a sheepish grin, showing she was sorry.
Angel Dust turned to Jennifer and grinned.
"Well, least someone finds me funny. So what's your name toots? You got a weird name like your friends?"
Jenny snickered and shook her head.
"Sadly, I was given a boring name. I'm Jennifer but my best friend tends to call me sugar tits"
"Jenny!" Vaggie exclaimed.
Angel Dust just laughed.
"Ohhh, we got a sassy one, here. I can work with that"
"Can we get back to what we wanted to talk to you about?!" Vaggie snapped.
Angel Dust rolled his eyes and slumped in his seat.
"What a buzzkill" he groaned.
"Alright, what do you want from me?"
Vaggie sighed and got to the point.
"We have a proposition for you" she said.
"Your princess, Charlie here, has repurposed one of her family's buildings into a rehabilitation center for souls like you who we think have a chance at redemption. Our goal is to get a damned soul into heaven. At least one...just to prove that it's possible"
Angel Dust raised an eyebrow. That was the craziest thing he had ever heard.
"Is it?"
"We...don't know yet" Charlie said sheepishly.
"Of course, you don't" Angel said flatly.
Charlie panicked, seeing that he was backing out of their plan.
"B-But we want you to be our first test subject!" she said.
"Why me?" Angel asked.
"Because! You seem like someone who regrets his life choices and would be interested in self-reflection and bettering himself!"
Angel Dust looked at them for a second before he busted out laughing. He laughed so hard that he fell off his seat and onto the car floor.
Charlie panicked.
"You'll get free meals and housing! And you'll be protected from Hell's constant hazards!"
Angel just kept laughing. This was the funniest thing he heard in a long time. When she saw that she wasn't getting to Angel Dust, Charlie's face fell.
Jenny looked at the princess. Charlie was going out of her way to help her, so now it was her turn to repay the favor. Taking a deep breath, she went into teacher mode.
"HEY!" she shouted.
Her sudden outburst not only shocked Angel Dust, but the girls and driver as well. Jennifer ignored them and glared at Angel Dust.
"You have no right to be laughing at her. She is offering you a place to stay for free! Do you have any fucking idea how rare that is down here?! The only thing you have to do in return is help her out with her little project. I don't know about you but that sounds way better than standing by the street looking to suck some demon dick!"
Angel Dust just looked at Jenny in stunned silence. He did not expect this petite little thing to be such a firecracker.
Jenny continued to glare at him.
"And get your ass off the floor! This isn't your car, so show some manners"
When Angel didn't move, she narrowed her eyes.
"NOW!"
Angel quickly bolted up and sat in his seat with his hands in his lap. He didn't want to piss of this little pixie any further.
Vaggie stared in silence before she quickly gained her composure.
"A-anyway, as Charlie was saying, you will have all of those things at the hotel...only if you genuinely attempt to want to change"
Angel Dust pretended to think for a moment and shook his head.
"Sounds boring"
Vaggie snapped and was about to yell at him but Jenny held up a hand to stop her.
"Relax, Vaggie. Maybe he has a point" she said.
Everyone looked at her surprised. Jenny shrugged, playing naïve.
"I mean, think about it, he's a famous porn star down here. There's no way a celebrity such as himself would want to tarnish his reputation for such a project"
As she was talking, Angel Dust became agitated. Jenny noticed and continued on with her little speech.
"This was probably a bad idea. He's obviously not a good pick. I say we go with a serial killer and see-"
"Wait one second, bitch" Angel Dust snapped.
"Who said I'm not a good pick?! I'm the best pick! You broads don't know me! I could be whatever I wanna be!"
Jenny wore a shit eating grin when she saw her plan worked.
"Oh really? Does that mean you'll be part of Charlie's experiment?" she asked innocently.
Angel Dust shrugged his shoulders.
"Sure, why not?"
Jenny turned to Vaggie and gave her a wink. Vaggie realized what she did and nodded her thanks.
"Besides, I'm three months behind on my rent, so free housing sounds fucking awesome to me" Angel Dust said.
"And it'll be nice not to have to suck the greasy landlord's dick every month"
"Oh, I hear ya, I had to do the same in college" Jenny said.
That made everyone look at her in shock. Jenny just looked at them all and shrugged like it was no big deal.
"Instead of paying rent, all my landlord asked for was my underwear each week" she explained.
"Although, after I told Blitzo about it, he suddenly disappeared the next day. Still don't know what happened to that old man"
"Lucky" Angel Dust muttered under his breath.
"Anyway, if that's all, then I guess I should probably get back to work, if you gal ain't paying for playing, then I-"
He shut up with Charlie a handful of cash in his face.
"Um...What's this?"
"Money!" Charlie said cheerfully.
"For?"
"Helping us!"
Angel Dust looked at the cash then back at Charlie.
"Is this a trick?"
"Nope! This is an investment in you" Charlie explained.
"We want to help you. We know you're meant for greater things"
"If you don't want the cash, I'll take it" Jenny joked.
Angel Dust tucked the cash in his shirt and stuck his tongue out at her.
"Nice try, bitch"
The limo pulled off to the side. Angel stepped out and peered over his shoulder.
"I'll keep in touch. This better be worth my time"
"It will, I promise!" Charlie said.
Angel Dust waved them goodbye and went into his apartment.
As they drove back to the hotel, Charlie squealed and hugged Jenny.
"That was amazing! You were able to get our first client!"
Jenny laughed and patted Charlie's arm.
"If reverse psychology can work on first graders, then it can work on porn stars" she joked.
"That's great and all, but is he really a good candidate?" Vaggie asked.
"And how do we make sure he doesn't know about Jenny being a human?"
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there" Jenny said.
"Until then, we just gotta take it one thing at a time"
Even though Jenny didn't find her best friend, she was able to make a new friend.
And later down the road, Angel would be forever grateful that she stepped into his life. It would be thanks to her, that his life was saved.
/
A/N: I wonder what Jenny's gonna do that's gonna save Angel Dust's life? Guess we'll just have to see. I'm gonna have fun writing these two together lol.
Looks like Blitzo is taking things into his own hands in finding Jenny. He's even willing to get seen by humans if it means finding her. Just shows how devoted he is to her.
Hopefully this was a fun chapter to read!
Please tell me what you think!
Take care!
