Adam is seething under his mask, of course Mammon would drop him off with the only fallen angel he hates more than the greedy bastard himself. Hell he thought Mammon was actually becoming tolerable for a second, allowing him to completely design parts of the show and not being a dick after. He has half a mind to just book it to the embassy but he knows that Mammon would just drag him back. So he follows Mammon carefulling watching the familiar demons.
Mammon is crushing Charlie and Lucifer in a hug. "Aww Luci that little ducky you made me was great, fans ate it up. Made me half a mil when I said you designed it."
Lucifer pats Mammon's arms asking for breath. "That's great Mon, happy for you." He gasps out when released, holding a thumbs up as he's doubled over trying to catch his breath.
"Oh that's not all, I was wondering if you could keep an eye on my little pet while I'm busy this week." Mammon pulls Adam to his side.
"Oh we'd love to, but um… where are they?" Charlie looks innocently at Mammon not getting his meaning.
Mammon chuckles as he shoves Adam toward her. "You're looking at him, the prettiest bird in all of hell."
Charlie is confused but Husker and Angel Dust's expressions darken with understanding. Adam can feel Mammon tugging at the webs around his wings, ordering him to show them off. Adam complies begrudgingly, unveiling the gold wings Mammon seems to love so much. Vaggie recognizes them immediately stepping in front of Charlie protectively with a spear ready.
"ADAM?! There's no way, we saw you die!" She yells in disbelief. The others clue in as she speaks and quickly turn defensive, preparing for an attack.
Mammon rolls his eyes. "Relax would ya, this little cunt is practically harmless. Here, if he get's pissy just put him in his cage he'll calm down real quick then." Mammon snaps and the cage still covered in some of his dried blood appears.
Lucifer is clutching his caine trying to keep a neutral expression. "Mammon, BROTHER, are you aware that not even a month ago Adam tried to kill EVERYONE here?"
"Yep and you kicked his ass for it. Isn't this charity all about forgiveness or some shit?"Mammon reasons sneering as if the word charity was a poison.
Charlie actually brightens up. "Wait, this is perfect!"
"It is?" Nearly everyone asks in unison.
"Yes, with Adam here we'll be able to get Heaven to listen to us, it will also bring validity to our cause, that everyone is redeemable and able to be forgiven." Charlie runs up and hugs Mammon. "You're a genius Uncle Mon!"
Mammon smiles. "Course I am, and tell ya what, if he's still in one piece when I get back I'll consider throwing together a few ideas to promote the hotel. How's that sound?"
"Nothing bad will happen, I promise." She smiles standing firm, willing it to be true, much to everyone else's dismay.
"Great! Have fun bird bitch." Mammon waves at Adam as he leaves.
The hotel is quiet as the front doors close. Adam's been staring at the cage, he was trapped in for a week, since it appeared. Someone is talking now but he can't hear it. All he can hear is his hot blood pulsing through his head. Something touches him, no, it's climbing up his back. Then he hears it, giggling, it's the demon that nearly killed him. Something snaps in his head, the little voice that had told him to stay calm and think things through is gone as weeks of build up rage flood over him with a mix of fear and survival instinct.
He flys up as fast as he can crashing his back into the ceiling stunning the demon before he spins around in the air sending the demon flying. Setting his sight on the cage he materializes his ax slicing through the stand it hangs from before wailing on the cage itself. He's cursing up a incoherent storm as he tries to destroy the cage. Cursing at Mammon for treating him like a toy. Cursing at his fallen army for failing their only job. Cursing Vaggie for being a traitor. Cursing at Lucifer for ruining his life. Cursing at Eve and Lilith for leaving him. His arms are growing weak as he begins to calm down, the cage is aggravatingly intact, all he managed was to bend a few bars.
Letting out a frustrated scream he chucks the bent cage at the wall. Behind him he can hear that radio demon chuckle. "What's so funny fuckwad? Didn't I kick your ass earlier, want a repeat or some shit?"
Alaster's smile dims looking more like a sneer. "I'm just surprised that the first man is so scared of little Niffty here."
"I'm not scared of shit, especially not some miniature maid." He turns to the group which stare at him with concerned faces wondering if he'll lash out again.
"Whatever you say." The demon glares at him holding the dazed maid by the back of her dress.
A beat of awkward silence plays like a whole rest in a music sheet. Adam straightens up, ax disappearing, as he glares at the demons watching him. Charlie carefully approaches him. "How about I show you around?"
Adam glares at her, she looks like the perfect mix between Lillith and Lucifer yet acts like the two did back in Eden sweet and innocent, it pisses him off. "Why not just take me to Heaven's embassy so I can get out of this dump."
"The embassy has been closed off for a month, even to me. So it won't do you much good." Lucifer chimes in, stepping next to his daughter.
Adam's eye twitches as he grits his teeth. "Fucking. Perfect." He sighs, sliding a hand down his mask. "Fine, fuck it, whatever can't be any worse than Mammon circus. Lead the way hellspawn."
Lucifer gives him a harsh look at the nickname but charlie brightens up like a light. Quickly introducing him to everyone and dragging him around to show off the amenities of the hotel. Only the bar really interests him, even if the bartender is a depressing cat-bird thing. She leads him up the stairs instructing him to find a room since they had a ton open before returning to the others.
He found one of the biggest rooms on the top floor, the decor was apple themed but all the other rooms were as well. Dark wood furniture with plush red fabrics all with gold trim seemed to be the aesthetic, it was better than the nauseating greens in Greed but not by much. Shutting the door he slides down it to the floor. Unlatching his mask he takes it off to look at his reflection. The gold eyes shine bright in the black mask, their unnatural glow reminds him that they look nothing like they did before he died, he misses their original hazel color, some days they could look blue, brown, or even green.
Looking up at the ceiling he begins to lightly banging his head against the door, he tries to think up a new plan since Heaven's Embassy isn't an option anymore. Lucifer may be a bastard that ruined his life and stole his wives but a liar he is not. He's drawing blanks on what to do. Can he pray in hell? It's not like anyone listens to prayers anyways. S.O.S signs? No, that's just stupid. Then what can he do, follow Lucifer's little brat's pointless endeavor? …Might as well try, if anything she might get heaven so annoyed they'll show up at the hotel like he did.
Getting up off the floor he sets his mask down on the dresser next to the door. He wants to drink or fight or something to take his mind off the fact that he's still in hell. He heads down to the bar ignoring the looks everyone gives him seeing his real face. Sitting at the bar the cat thing glances at him, a look of disdain flashes over his features but it returns to a more neutral expression before Charlie notices.
"Just give me a few bottles of your strongest stuff." He grunts out.
The cat looks him up and down gauging whether he should spit in his drink no doubt. "Don't act like a dick and maybe I'll get you some."
Adam leans in close to the cat's face. "I'll leave you alone for the rest of the day. How's that sound?"
"Fine, don't come back for more then." Husker turns grabbing a few bottles from under the counter and shoves them into Adam's hands.
Adam uncorks the bottle as he heads back upstairs to his room. Drinking each bottle to drown out the world around him. His mind is too drunk to be mad or think straight after the 5th bottle. Splayed out on his new bed his vision blurs the room around him. He's humming a song, the words of which he's long forgotten. It's been a few hours since he got here and he's already dozing off.
Humming along with Lucifer as the angel strums the lyer he loved to play for the humans. Lilith had already left to gather food for the day. She had gotten more hostile to him over the past week starting fights nearly everyday, Adam was starting to wonder if he was the problem. Did he do something to make her mad? Was it when he hugged her covered in spiderwebs, maybe the time he shoved her off the waterfall and into the lake, or was it the time he picked her up and carried her over to a dirty swamp full of crocodiles to show her the creatures.
Strangely Lilith didn't seem to ever be mad around Lucifer, maybe it was the music? "Hey Luci?"
"Hmm?" The angel stopped playing to look at him, a sweet smile awaited his question.
"Can you teach me how to play that?" He points to the lyer partially wondering if he can even attempt to play such a contraption.
The angel lights up smile widening. "YES, yes of course I can teach you!"
The angel swirls around him pulling him close and placing the instrument in his hands. He explains in detail what each string will sound like and how the instrument works guiding Adam's hands with his own. Adam listens carefully to his words copying his movements, it's not long until Adam is playing the song he was humming a minute ago. Lucifer is ecstatic allowing him to play on his own, manifesting a new instrument and playing along with him. The new instrument is vastly different in both look and sound but oddly blends well with his playing.
Lucifer dances while he plays, encouraging Adam to do the same. Adam slowly gets off his kneeling legs standing taller than Lucifer's height. The angel flies up to eye level with him dancing in the air as Adam begins to twist and sway along with their music. It's a happy moment as the song speeds up in tempo. From the counter of his eye he can see birds in the trees looking at them, some even chirping in time with the music.
The song ends, Adam flops onto the ground laughing with utter joy of his new talent. Lucifer settles himself against the human's side using his stomach as a pillow, laughing along with the first man. Adam doesn't really want to give back the lyer but he holds it up for the angel to take, only for Lucifer to shove it back to him.
"Keep it, just don't let the other angel's know." Lucifer puts a finger up in a shush motion.
"Really?!" When Lucifer nods he squeezes the angel into a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how happy this makes me."
Lucifer laughs, hugging him back. "Really? And here I was thinking you'd hate that old thing." He jokes as Adam releases him.
"Oh ha ha." Adam replies in a similar sarcasm, as their conversation slips back into silence.
Adam's mind wanders, mainly about how little he knows about angels. Each looked so different from the others Mammon was by far the largest of the ones he knew, Asmodeus was the weirdest exuding unknown magics, Lucifer looked the most like him and Lilith, and apparently Lilith had met a bee looking angel named Beelzebub or something when she was gathering food a while ago. Plus there were the weird things they wore, they called them clothes and apparently they could be removed.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Lucifer is looking as his head is rested comfortably on the dip of Adam's stomach.
Adam wonders if he should even answer but curiosity wins out. "Why do you wear clothes? Like what do you look like under them if it isn't fur?"
Lucifer looks uncomfortable sitting up and taking pulling down his hat like he normally did when he looked at Lilith or Adams chest or crotch. "Uh… well… it's to hide my body."
Adam gives him a confused look not understanding why anyone would do that. "So can I see you without them?"
Lucifer's face is as red as his cheeks. "Uh… w-wha…" He looks to Adam's growing disappointment, letting out a defeated sigh he nods. "Alright, fine."
Snapping his fingers, his clothes disappear. Adam's eyes go wide quickly, comparing the angel and himself. Six wings are curled up on Lucifer's back. His skin is pure white reflecting the sun's rays. The angel lacks his defined muscles, nipples, and belly button. When Adam looks between the angel's legs the angel quickly covers up the area with his hands and legs.
"OH! Okay that's enough!" Quickly snapping his fingers again he's clothed mumbling a goodbye before flying off, leaving the human extremely confused.
