Aegis 3.0

[Scripted Away]

"Misha doesn't know boo yet, and Heather will get a fish soon", Noah explained with a smirk, and looked up when he heard his father's phone ring.
Mac, never having been a fan of things like clearing big things on the phone, teleported right beside his brother, just to find himself face to face with a red-haired girl.
"Hey Jim, what's up?", he asked, while Robyn stared up at him with huge eyes.
"... you're an angel...!", she whispered with huge, sparkling eyes, her hands slowly wandering up to touch his wing.
"You're real...!''

Marco raised a nonexistent eyebrow at Dylan and smirked gently.
"I can't read minds, but I can detect all sorts of radiation and waves. And i have access to the entire database of the internet. I'm basically a walking super computer."
He smirked at Dylan. "But don't worry, I won't go all terminator on you guys."

 

[Wyosch]

As Macon suddenly disappeared, Rico raised an eyebrow, looking back at Noah.
"I believe that was something important.", he mumbled, smiling softly.
"So you have a bird and Heather is getting a fish? What about your little brother?"

Jim smirked softly at Robyn's reaction to seeing his brother.
"This is my brother, Macon. Bacon, this is Robyn.", he explained, crossing his arms.
"This sweet girl here believes she'll be nothing when she's old and that everything we do doesn't matter. You're the one who's always good at giving motivational speeches without seeming commanding, so... try."
He winked at his brother, turning around as he heard some noises from behind them.
Lots of small children were staring up at Macon's wings.
Jim didn't want Macon and Robyn to be disturbed while they talked, so he just walked over to the kids, heeled down, and made his own wings appear.
"You can touch them if you want."
One by one, small hands started touching the feathers, one toddler even trying to rip one off.
"Why are your wings black?"
"Well, my brother over there is an angel, and thus his wings are white. Angels usually have light colors for their wings."
"And you?"
"I'm a demon-"
Before he could even explain further, either the kids backed away themselves or their parents' hastily 'rescued' them, leaving Jim actually quite crushed behind. Not that he'd let that show.
He just got up again, made his wings disappear and told Macon and Robyn that he'd try to go and find the man they were here for before he walked off.

"That was what I was just thinking about!", Dylan replied, laughing. "Hey- so you know like everything? Even about my brother's YouTube Gaming channel?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Noah shrugged at Rico's question. "I don't know. You think we should ask him if he wants a pet, too?"
"What's a pirate's favorite letter?", Boo interrupted him, and Noah raised one eyebrow at the parrot. "Well, tell me..."
"You think it's the rrrrrr, but it's really the ceee!"
Noah groaned at the joke. "Oh man Boo!"

Mac frowned deeply when he saw what was happening when Jim told the kids he was a demon.
When he wanted to walk off, Mac grabbed his brother's wrist and pulled him back to his side.
"Wait."
He made a few steps towards the people who had run from Jim and spread his wings to get their attention. That just always worked. As soon as they saw a winged man with white hair, they acted like the Lord himself was there, with their eyes glued to him.
"I want you all to listen!", He called. As if they weren't already listening.
"You are running from my brother because he's a demon? And you're looking up to me because I'm an angel.
Don't you see you're doing the exact same thing that brought us the war all over again?! You believe some empty words from people you don't know, although you have no idea if they're right! You're loathing an innocent who hasn't done anything to you people! Ring a bell? The same happened to the anoms, the same happened to dragons and fairies and mutants! Now look where it brought us! Righteous people having to hide who they are just because people judge them without actually having any clue about them."
He shook his head.
"This has to change. I know it's a long way for some of you. It's never easy to change your mind against your beliefs. But I'm begging you- at least try. You-"
He smiled at the young kid who had torn one of Jim's feathers out. "What did he do when you tore his feather out?"
"... Nothing?"
"Nothing, exactly. Would someone evil do nothing? Cause I can tell you- getting a feather torn out hurts more than you think. But he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"He didn't!"
"Yeah. He didnt. Because this man over there, this demon, my brother, has, despite his quirks and mistakes, one of the brightest and biggest hearts I know, and I know that, despite him being a demon, there's a good portion of angel inside him. He still has a lot to learn..."
Now Mac was turning to Jim with a gentle sparkling in his eyes. "...But this demon is a guardian angel par exellance. And he belongs into heaven just like me and every other angel." Turning back to the crowd, he lifted his chin. "What we are does not define who we are. I want you to go through your life with open eyes for everyone who needs your help, open ears for everyone who cares about you, and an open mind for everyone you encounter. That's what's going to heal this world. That's what's going to heal every single one of us."
The people were still staring at him with wide eyes, until one after another, the kids went back to Jim, and their parents let them this time. Mac just watched, smiling softly, and gave Jim an encouraging nod, with a loving sparkling in his bright eyes.

"Cole?", Marco asked with a smirk. "Sure! I learned my best tricks from him. He's great."
As his eyes started to glow, a hologram of one of the latest gaming videos appeared in 3D in the air. "that crazy guy has a reaction like a cat!"

 

[Wyosch]

"Well maybe you should first ask your parents if that's a good idea.", Rico replied, smirking akwardly.
As Hunter walked back into the room, the pink-haired man immediately took a step back and slightly hid behind Jasper.
"Heather fell asleep on the toilet, she's now in bed - and Misha is in your lab-", as Hunter noticed that her husband wasn't there, she raised an eyebrow.
"Where'd Mac go?"

Jim was staring at his brother with big eyes, but couldn't answer as most of the children were pulling on him to show his wings again.
"If angels and demons are real, are god and the devil too then?", one young kid asked, gently letting himself fall onto Jim's soft wings.
"Kinda. The devil is real. And god too, but we call her Luna. And it's a woman."
"But she's god?"
"Yeah."
"Is the devil scary?"
"Me- eh. No. He's not."
"But my teacher says he's a monster and is looking to escape out of hell so he can bash the entire earth into an everlasting nightmare."
Jim raised an eyebrow, looking at Macon for a second before back at the kids.
"Eh... well I am on really good terms with the devil-"
"What does that mean?"
"We're friends. And I- eh, he is actually not that scary as he may seem sometimes."
"But the books-"
"People have judged him for what he did, without knowing the reason as to why he did so."
"Oh. And why?"
"Because he was different than them. His job was different, and his home too."
"He has a job?"
"I am a car mechanic, and still trying to get- eh the devil is eh... his job in hell is to look after the 'evil' creatures that are judged too, and he has to take care of the bad people."
"What bad people?"
"People that kill others, for example."
"My dad too?"
"Does your father kill other people?"
"Only if he has to. He told me he once had to shoot somebody because they killed his friend."
"Is your father a soldier?"
"Yes!"
"Your father isn't a bad person then. But a hero. You can be happy to have someone willing to sacrifice their own life for your safety."
"Can I be a demon too?"
"Do you wish to feel angry most time?"
"Like the Hulk?"
"The who?"
Many kids gasped.
"You don't know the Hulk!?"
"Should I know him then?"
One boy immediately ran over to his mother only to come back with a comic book about the Avengers, telling Jim everything about his favorite, the Hulk - who was angry all the time too.
>>Hey... thanks, Macon.<<, Jim thought to Macon with a soft smile, while he tried to figure out what was so awesome about a green man.

"He really does.", Dylan replied, smirking proudly. "So you know like everything about me too? About my family?", he asked, trying to touch the 3D hologram with his finger.
"This is some future science fiction kind of stuff!"

 

[Scripted Away]

"got a call from Jim and disappeared the next second", Jasper explained while he took Rico's hand.
"From what I could hear him wanted to ask Mac for a favor. The background noises sounded like a hospital, at least I could hear someone a few feet away from Jim saying something about emergency surgery and 'rupture of the Ligamentum collaterale tibiale'..." He shrugged. "means Torn inner cruciate ligament, if I'm not entirely wrong..."

Mac smiled softly as he nodded at Jim once more. Just a few minutes later, Robyn came running to Jim with big eyes.
"You are the devil", she whispered with a determined smile. "Jim...you are basically almighty...do you think I can become a demon? I know how hard it is. I do. And I know there will be times I will wish I hadn't made this choice, but I think I should go for it...
Look, with powers, I could protect the others, and the kids in my future home for abused children. And I think this world needs more demons openly proving that the prejudices are wrong..."

"I know about everything that happened to you since the accident, regarding your injuries...", Marco explained silently, lifting his shoulders. "Just as an example. If it has been saved on any device that's connected to the internet, I know it."
Turning to Lola, he smirked.
"Greetings from Paolo, by the way."

 

[Wyosch]

"I know what that means, Jasper, but thanks for explaining anyways. Now why is Jim in a hospital?", Hunter mumbled, frowning for a moment, before she shook her head and thought of her son.
"Did any of you two see Misha?"
"Isn't he here then?", Rico asked, sorrowly raising an eyebrow.
"He was this morning, but now he's gone. And while Mac's gone to help his brother I don't have anyone who could just locate his location."

As soon as the kids had gone and Jim had shifted his wings away again, he quickly thanked Macon once more before Robyn asked him to make her a demon.
"Listen, Robyn-", he mumbled, smiling softly. "Being a demon is not what you think it is. My cousin, a class 1 - the lowest possible - doesn't have any special powers nor a demonic shift, only able to make his eyes black. And that all accompanied by slight anger problems. No he's not aggressive or so, he just gets angry easier than usual people."
He put a hand on Robyn's shoulder and looked at his brother for a second.
"If I'd make you a demon, I'd have to make you a class 5 - as those are the ones where the demonic powers and shifts start appearing. I could do this, but I won't. Please, do not be mad at me, but I don't want you to go through what I did. The higher the demon class, the stronger the demon - the more difficult your problems. You are not always strong enough to keep control over your demon, and thus it might either take control over you and cause chaos, or it might interfere with your thoughts - making you remember all those painful memories and even more. You've already suffered enough, and even though I do believe you would make a great apprentice, I don't want to take the risk of you hurting yourself or the people around you."
He closed his eyes for a moment, and Robyn's cask on her arm disappeared, just as her bruises and other small wounds.
"I can't make you a demon, but I can transfer my healing abilities to you. You will automatically heal every injury on your own body, and you can heal anyone else's wounds by touch. This too will help you."
Jim turned to Macon, staring at him for a moment, before he spoke again.
"I do see more of an angel in you."

Dylan didn't mind too much about Marco knowing about what had happened to him in his past. Sooner or later somebody would find out, why not a robot right now?
"Who's Paolo?", he asked, frowning slightly, while raising an eyebrow.
Sure, he knew Lola was a beautiful woman and an actress and model at the same time, which meant she had quite some fans as well... and even though he knew Lola would never do such a thing, he sometimes couldn't help but think about it. What if that guy on her movie set made a move? Would she accept? What if some photographer or interviewer would flirt? Would she too?
He knew he didn't have to worry.
And only because his ex girlfriend cheated and then left him didn't mean Lola would do the same... especially with all those handsome guys around her at work the entire time.
"I'm gonna pour myself in some water, you want some too?", he asked his girlfriend, already making his way to her kitchen.

 

[Scripted Away]

"maybe ask Sam or Rachel?", Jasper suggested shrugging. "They both have the ability of omnipresence. If someone can find him, it's them."
"Aunt Rachel is teleporting right now though", Noah mentioned, pointing at the flames that shot into the sky beside Rachel and Jim's house.

"To me, you are an angel, too", Robyn said with a soft smile while she gently wrapped her arms around Jim and hugged him tightly. "You think you are so dangerous and bad just because you are a demon. But your brother over there said it- you deserve a place in heaven. I wish I had a brother like you..."
Her eyes widened all of a sudden, and grinned widely as she took out her phone. "I need your phone number! We have to stay in touch! I mean...if you want to..."

"Yup! And Paolo is My uncle", Lola explained with a happy smirk. "I bet he lost his phone again."
"Of course he lost his phone", Marco chuckled, Lola laughing with him. "Does dad already know uncle Paolo is back?"
"No, and-" he broke off when a holograph appeared out of his chest, of an elderly woman. "Marco? We need you over here! Wilson blew up a container with uranium."
"On my way!"
While the robot teleported away, Lola was already wildly typing away on her phone.
"Gotta call Dad!" While she followed Dylan into the kitchen.
When someone picked up after a few seconds, she grinned widely. There however was nothing but black on the other end. Apparently he was covering the camera.
"Daddy!"
"Lola!"
"...why are you covering your cam?"
"I'm in the lake and the phone is in the water proof case."
"Ah! You, I have awesome news!"
",Don't tell me my Supergirl is gonna come and visit me?!"
"Exactly! We're still looking for a good date, but-"
"We? Am I finally gonna get to know Dylan? You didn't stop writing about him for the last few weeks on end."
"He's right here beside me and you're on speaker, daddy..."
"Hi Dylan! So when are you two finally gonna come and visit me?"
"Um-" Lola shrugged, looking at Dylan in a kind of 'any idea' expression.

 

[Wyosch]

Hunter growled frustratedly as she saw Rachel teleport away.
Her being Luna meant taking care of quite some people, with some new responsibilities and taking care of Luna's land... would she even have time to hang out with her anymore?
"I can't ask Sam! He's getting ready for his wedding. I... I'll go try to find him myself. You please stay here and watch over Noah and Heather? Make sure she doesn't fall asleep when she goes to the toilet."

"You don't want a brother like me, Robyn. I've done more bad than good, and have hurt my family more than I'd like to admit.", Jim replied, nodding as she asked him to stay in touch.
He quickly put in his phone number and send her a text so she'd have his too.
He immediately send Rachel a text too so she wouldn't worry about him anymore.
All the kids are safe and sound, just like all the other people of Round Top. Trying to get some people to look after the kids now while their usual supervisor is wounded. I'm with the eldest of them, 13, in hospital to ask a psychiatrist to help out.
Very probably will be back in time for the wedding Love you xxx
As he put his phone away, he nodded determined and looked at Macon for a moment.
"Can you watch Robyn while I try to find Oscar? He's a psychiatrist specialized in treating traumas."

Dylan spat out his water as Lola told him who Paolo was, grinning akwardly as she walked in with her father on speaker.
"Well... we were thinking about this weekend as I don't have to go to college then.", he replied, looking at Lola with an expression that asked if that was alright.
"I can't wait to finally meet you, Sir. Your daughter has told me a lot about you already. Only good things, of course."

 

[Scripted Away]

Has just raised one eyebrow at Hunter, slightly tilting his head to the side.
"Hunter...apart from the snake- is everything okay? You seem annoyed or so? Look we didn't mean to scare you like that. It was just meant to be a little prank, and we promise, we will keep a closer eye on Fluffy and the snakes."
Smiling softly, he held up his little finger. "Pinkie promise", he said winking, with a gentle smirk.

Mac nodded, smiling softly as Robyn bombarded him with another few questions, but only after she had told Jim that he couldn't know who she'd want as a brother.
While Macon was heading for the cafeteria with her, Rachel appeared right beside Jim.
"Well done, honey", she said with a soft smile, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Just came to tell you I love you too", she chuckled.

"Just Soren, Dylan", Lola's father replied, the smile on his face audible in his voice.
"My girl's family is my family too."
Lola just smiled happily at Dylan, while her dad was talking on. "I can't wait to get to know you, young man. Oh, Lola, you still there?"
"Of course, daddy."
"We have ants in italy again. Susan is taking care of them, but the villa won't be ready until you two come then."
"Oh man, not again..."
"Yup. Get prepared for the cold, we have about 5 feet snow here."
"Jesus!"
"Funny yeah? But hey, we have the big hot bathtub over here-"
"Dad! You're horrible! "
Her father was just laughing while Lola faceplamed, smiling awkwardly at Dylan. "Excuse my dad, he loves to make me feel awkward."

 

[Wyosch]

Hunter smiled softly, shaking her head.
"I know the snake was just a joke. It's fine.", she replied. "I'm just slightly frustrated by my dear brother Serpo who once again let me down."

Jim's eyes widened happily as Rachel appeared next to him, and he quickly gave her a tight hug and a soft kiss.
"I just quickly have to ask some guy if he'd like to help out with the kids, then go back to check up on the kids in the hospital and then we can go home to Sam and Emma's wedding.", he explained, smirking softly.
He stared deep into her eyes for a moment before he slightly tilted his head.
"I did good, didn't I? I for once did something good... I mean, I saved those 70 kids, an old woman and her dog... right?"

"Don't I do too?", Dylan replied, laughing. "So were going to Norway then? Never seen snow in my entire life. This'll be funny.", he smiled softly, running his hand through his hair.
"We won't have to drive in cars a lot... will we?"

 

[Scripted Away]

"wait wait, now I'm confused-" Jasper said with a raised eyebrow. "from what it looked like you and Serpo weren't particularly...sympatico. I mean, you never been wanted to let him into this house. What could he have possibly done to make you hate him even more?"

Rachel smiled softly as she cupped Jim's face and gently kissed his forehead, her eyes sparkling brightly as she softly ran her fingers through his hair.
"You did marvellously, my love. all these people would be ready without you now. You even overcame your fear of water. I'm so proud of you."
She pulled him into a gentle hugs, before letting go of him and taking his hand. "Do you want to talk to the guy alone or should I come with you, honey?"

"No, we will use our snowmobiles most of the time", Lola explained with a happy grin. ",I'll show you how to drive them. We could build a snowman then, and...ohh did you ever ice skate?"
",Lola, I just arrived at the boat, don't know how long the connection will hold."
"Okay daddy, have fun fishing!", Lola said with a soft smile and hang up, before smiling happily at Dylan, until her eyes widened. "We have to get ready! The wedding will l start in about half hour hour!"

 

[Wyosch]

"Exactly, we weren't.", Hunter replied, sighing. "But if there is one thing that Macon and Rachel, even Jim, have taught me - it's to try and give people a second chance. Well, I did. I'd planned a movie night with me and Mac, I'd cook him his favorite food and it'd just be the two of us for one evening. Some peace and quiet. I'd asked Serpo if he would want to look after the kids then, especially because I didn't want to ask you two again like we always do. He was surprised and pleased, and said he'd do it. And then on the day where I had surprise-planned something for my hubby, my so dear brother texts me that he can't look after the kids because he - I'm quoting - 'has to gamble and honestly doesn't want to watch any annoying brats'."

"Who says I overcame my fear of water? I might've just ignored it for the time being.", Jim replied, winking, nodding as she asked to accompany him. "I'd love if you'd accompany me. I also want you to meet the eldest of the kids, she might find one of your uplifting 'you are worth something' speeches quite handy."
He smirked softly, kissing Rachel's cheek - raising an eyebrow as a young kid called 'ew' - and just looking at Rachel with a confused look.
"Is it just me... or are kids confusing?"

Dylan's eyes widened as well, nodding excitedly.
"I'll quickly change into my suit, be ready in five minutes. Should I help you style your hair or so then?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Jasper frowned at what Hunter told him.
"If that's how he thinks about our family, he simply isn't worth being a part of it", he said with a sad smile, pulling Hunter into a quick hug.
"You can call me if you need a babysitter and don't want to ask those two."
Levi had appeared a few feet behind Hunter, rubbing his arm as he looked at his sister with puppy eyes. "I mean...you were quite pissed. Plain scary to be honest, but... "
He sighed.
"We shouldn't let that one argument get between us, should we?"
"Who are you now?", Jasper asked confused, while Levi flashed his typical shy smile at him and Rico.
"I'm Levi."
"...yeah that explains everything of course..."
"I'm Hayes' son..." Turning to Hunter again, his deep sapphire eyes sparkling softly, but slightly worried, he tilted his head. "One of your kids is missing, isn't it? I feel two of three traces of angelic power fading, meaning the sources aren't here. Is everything okay?"

Rachel chuckled softly and just shrugged. "does it matter? You saved those people, that's what's important", she said with a proud smile.
When Jim said he'd like her to come with him, she nodded happily, holding on to his hand a bit tighter. "Alright, following wherever you go, baby."

"That would be great, i never use make up, excepting mascara, but I wanted to braid a few mini roses into my hair, that fit to my dress", Lola explained what the a proud grin.
"Are you coming clear though, or should I help you with your tie?"

 

[Wyosch]

Hunter's eyes widened at the sight of her little half-brother, happily jumping into his arms.
"I'm really sorry, Levi. I didn't mean it the way I sounded. I... I felt as if you were criticizing me and Macon.", she explained, shaking her head to get her thoughts clear again.
"Guys - my younger half-brother Levi. Foxy's twin. Levi - meet your cousin, Rico, and his husband Jasper. Further Introductions can be followed later. We have to find my son now."
She nodded as Levi mentioned one of her kids missing.
"Misha, the youngest. I have no idea where he went, and the only two people who can track him down immediately and whom he trusts aren't here! I'm afraid something's happened to him..."

"Can't forget that puppy I saved too.", Jim replied, winking, and gently lead Rachel through the hallway.
"You know, I honestly am not really fond of hospitals. Spend way too much time here. Don't tell Mac though."

"I can do that!", Dylan grinned, happy that he had asked Lola's dresser how to style her. Her dresser had showed him how she usually braided Lola's hair without hurting the hairsacks and more stuff. The only thing he remembered was how to braid hair.
"I think I know how to put on pants, a shirt and a jacket. If you insist you may help me with my tie.", he replied, winking.

 

[Scripted Away]

"cousin?", Levi asked with wide eyes, looking at Rico until a happy smile formed on his face. ",Hi, so great to meet you!"
Turning to Hunter again, he smirked softly.
"Now don't worry, your personal superhero is right here!", He chuckled, puffing up his chest.
"I just need something from Macon. A hair, a spoon he used that hasn't been cleaned yet-"
His gaze wandered to a feather on the floor. It definitely was too long to belongs to a child, so the odds that it was Mac's were pretty good.
"A feather!" He picked it up, and slowly transformed into Macon, standing still for a moment, just to groan painfully and push his hands against his head the next second.
"Argh! God, how does he manage that?! All those voices! And so many- oh God that poor guy... Grr..."
He turned to the others again, frowning deeply. "Wow man, this guy's mind is a mess! But let's find Misha... Just give me a moment to get the hang of this telepathy and visions thing..."

"I don't think anyone particularly likes hospitals", Rachel chuckled as she followed her husband. "Hah, hey honey:
God and the devil walk into a hospital- sounds like the beginning of a bad joke."
Laughing softly, she stood up on her tip toes to plant a small kiss on Jim's cheek.
"How's it going down there in hell, by the way? Everything taco?"

Lola grinned mischievous as she slowly unbuttoned Dylan's shirt. "Yeeeeaaahh might be", she said smirking. "But I won't let a chance pass to watch my smexy boyfriend."
Smirking softly, she hugged him tightly. "I love you, Dylan."

 

[Wyosch]

"Oh god that's so weird.", Hunter mumbled as she saw her brother transform into her husband.
"You have another brother?", Rico asked, frowning confused at his sister. "Why did you never tell me about him?"
"I didn't know of his existence until yesterday. And now please, we need to find my son.", she turned to her brother... husband... no, brother disguised as her husband, looking at him with pleading eyes.
"And?"

"Everything nice dark and creepy as always. Some new demon who doesn't really want to listen is causing some trouble, but I'll have him under control in no time.", Jim explained, smiling softly. "And up there in heaven?"

Dylan happily hugged Lola back, smirking.
"I love you too, Lola.", he replied, gently kissing her forehead. He went on unbuttoning his shirt, looking up at Lola once a few seconds.
She was so mesmerizing. He could stare at her all day.
"So white shirt and grey jacket, or black shirt and grey jacket?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Levi closed his eyes, trying to focus on a particular angel, but he knew it wouldn't work. Macon's abilities were complicated, hard to handle and even harder to get used to.
"I can't locate him...", He mumbled silently. "But I can try to reach him telepathically."
Taking a deep breath, he focused once more.
>>Misha? Can you hear me? Where are you?<<

"Pretty good", Rachel said with a gentle smirk. "We're recruiting new angels at the moment. The city is growing and growing, and the population of fairies is rising again, which is really great!"
With a mischievous smirk, she nonchalantly poked Jim's butt and grinned at him. ",Oh and the king of hell is a sexy devil."

"White shirt, definitely white shirt", Lola said nodding. "A black shirt would look far too dark for a wedding."
Softly running her fingers down his chest and belly, she smiled at him. "So, I still gotta take a shower. I'm still covered in fake blood from the filming."

 

[Wyosch]

>>It's dark<<
Misha sobbed, looking around him with big eyes.
A cage. Inside a dark cave.
Bats!
Was this the Batcave?
No, Batman would never put a kid inside a cage.
>>The snakeman is hurting me!<<

Hunter was now nervously biting her fingernails, walking up and down. She usually never did this. She let the nervous walking to Jim and the fingernail-biting to her cousin.
"Well? Did you find him in thoughts?"

Jim smirked mischievously, playfully raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, is he now?", he asked, wrapping an arm around Rachel's waist and pulling her closer.
"You should see him in action.", he whispered to her ear, wiggling his eyebrows, followed by a chuckle.
"So, what does heaven even look like? I mean, a demon, let alone the devil himself, can never enter it... but I'm curious. Is it all white and shiny?"

"I'll change and wait for you then.", Dylan replied, smiling softly. "If you need anything whilst showering, just call me. I'll close my eyes when walking in, don't worry."

 

[Scripted Away]

Levi's eyes widened, and he immediately grabbed Hunter's and Jasper's wrists and pulled them with him, out of the house and on the meadow, where he immediately turned into a gigantic Leviathan.
"Misha is kept in a cage in a cave, and, I'm quoting, ',the snake man' is hurting him. I believe there were bats."
"I will disassemble and scan the forest", Jasper explained as he already turned into a swarm of butterflies and flew off towards the forest, the swarm spread widely so he could see a lot at once.
"Okay, hunter, you are cold resistant. You should go and check the mountains. I will take care of the lakes and swamps, maybe there are underwater caves. They are quite common in this area."

Rachel grinned widely as she leaned against Jim's side while walking.
"Well, my devil, it's all...how do I explain? Heaven is basically parted into four areas:
The city, where the angels live and some of them work. A giant, white building, with doors all over it. They fly from room to room. There's also the dream sphere, where we can let everything and anything we can think of become true; within the sphere.
Then there's the wilderness. Dreams and souls are born there, and it look different for everyone who goes there. Some see a jungle, others a giant highway... All depending on their personality.
Then there's the flats, it's...basically a lot like this place. A calm place, with little lakes and many Meadows, a few hills...very beautiful. Those who die and go to heaven appear there. It's guarded by two angels at any time, so no freshly deceased will feel lost.
They also bring them to the fourth part:
Eden.
It's an exact copy of earth, with the exception that there is peace, and and no catastrophes. It's...it's earth how it would be if it was perfect. Spirits, ghosts, a few fairies, retired angels...they all live there. It's a bit brighter up there,but it's not that different...and totally different at the same time, if that even makes sense."

Lola rolled her eyes, laughing softly. "Dylan you dumbass, we are a couple. I don't care if you see me naked, I mean, hello, sooner or later you will either way. Excepting you're asexual and forgot to tell me."

Just as Hunter wanted to shift into her dragon form, her eyes widened and she hastily shook her head.
"Oh my god. The snakeman. Latin. Serpo!", she called, gasping terrified. "He's a water dragon! We have to get to the lake immediately!"
She shifted into her huge dragon form, roaring loudly as she stormed off into the sky.
"Follow me!"

"Wow. That's... a total opposite of hell.", Jim replied, frowning confused. "It all sounds so... peaceful and safe.", he chuckled akwardly.
"Honestly, when you enter hell you first enter this huge dark cage, where some monsters lure on you. When you made it through that it's just... this huge thing? Well there's literally creepy demons and monster flying around over a floating black rock in the middle of a pool of... deceased dark souls.", he cleared his throat, an akward expression on his face. Heaven seemed like... paradise compared to Hell.
"Well and on that rock lies the only building existing in hell. A huge castle, but it's half broken down. Got the 'throne room', torture rooms, hatchlings' room - for the monsters, cages for the ones who are acting all rebelliously and could form a threat once on earth... you wouldn't like it there."

Dylan blushed to a deep red, grinning akwardly.
"I just didn't think you wouldn't mind like we're still a fresh couple and I mean- I just didn't think you'd ever want to."
He facepalmed, groaning.
"Okay I'm just being super akward here."

Levi groaned silently as he struggled to follow hunter. His serpent-like, hindlegless Leviathan body just wasn't made for flying, and even though he did have quite powerful wings, it was just a hard piece of work to keep himself up. Maybe the actual problem was that he had never really learned to fly, but had learned it all on his own, but right now, it didn't matter either way.
Huffing, he fought to keep up with his sister, but in the end just landed and raced over the ground in an incredible speed, now easily keeping up. ",Serpo...- wait, our own brother has kidnapped my nephew?!"

"Sounds like nether to me", Rachel mumbled, actually rather to herself since she didn't expect him to know Minecraft.
"If he'll already is like that, I better don't start imagining how purgatory has to be..."
She just flashed a warm smile at Jim to show him she didn't mind how his world looked like, and looked around. "Jim, can I ask you for an advice?", She lastly mumbled thoughtfully.

"Yes, you are", Lola chuckled, kissing Dylan's cheek. "I mean, okay, it's only been a few weeks, but-" now it was her who was blushing brightly, what luckily wasn't that obvious. "You know that feeling when something happens, like, I don't know, a great day with your family or so, and all of a sudden you realize 'this is what I'm living for?'...well, I feel like that...when I'm with you and..."
She grinned awkwardly. "Now I'm being super awkward. I just meant to say that...okay I'm just hoping I won't scare you away now... I meant to say that you are the one I can see myself having a future with, a life, and it just doesn't feel like weeks...more like years..."

"Serpo may be our biological brother, but I don't see him as family!", Hunter hissed, quickly looking back down to make sure Levi was keeping up.
"He betrayed us all... I should've known when he showed up again!"
She growled angrily, her eyes gaining a dark, creepy color - reminding one of a demon.
"If he hurts my son I will smash his bones with my jaw!"

Jim looked to the floor for a moment, not really knowing how to feel.
Hell wasn't actually that bad as it sounded like...or maybe for angels it was. He just thought hell was misunderstood, just like him: looking all scary and dangerous, ready to be feared... when known better, quite comfy and nice.
"You want to ask me for advice?", he asked, rather confused as to why than honored. She knew far more about... social stuff than him. What else could she ask him for advice for?
"Well eh, what can I help you with?"

Dylan's eyes were sparkling softly as he wrapped his arms around Lola tightly and kissed her forehead.
"There's not much you can do to scare this geek away.", he replied, smiling happily. "I honestly feel the same. And I feel how you change me. In a good way. I'm far happier and my mind's at peace..."
He kissed her deeply, pulling her closer.
"I love you, Lol. And I love how your cheeks glitter when you blush."

"Hunter-"
Levi fought himself into the air once more, and looked deep into his sisters eyes, his empty, radiant glowing green Leviathan eyes darkening slightly.
",When it comes down to Misha or Serpo... There's a way I should be able to defeat him forever. Only a god or witch can cure Medusa's curse. I just..."
He sighed. "I don't know if I can. I mean, petrifying a spider is one thing, but...killing a person? I just don't want you think I wouldn't want to protect our family. But...I don't think I could do that..."

Rachel sighed soundlessly, thoughtfully scratching her neck.
"Sam called me. His son Michael is doing absolutely nothing, and apparently not caring about anything at all. Not even that he betrayed his family. He asked if Michael could work for me at aegis force."
She frowned slightly.
"It's not even that he has been a member of hack that's making me hesitate...", She muttered, winking at Jim. ",After all I know that the former bad ones sometimes have the biggest hearts... But regarding to Sam, michael doesn't seem to regret what he has done, and that's what's worrying me quite a lot... And now I don't know wether I should or shouldn't let Mike work for AF... What would you do?"

Lola smiled happily as she cuddled against Dylan tightly and gently stroked over his back.
"I love you too, sweetheart. And I never want to have to be without you again." She chuckled softly. ",I'd miss your comfy hoodies too much!"
Winking, she took his hands and smiled softly. ",I'll go have a nice warm bath now. Bathroom door is open, if you still need to go in there to get ready for the wedding."
And she went into the bathroom, slipped out of her clothes and into the warm water she filled into the bathtub, together with her favorite bath bubbles. She took a peaceful, deep breath and leaned her head back against the edge of the bathtub, closing her eyes.

"Who says I want you or anyone to kill him?", Hunter replied, an evil grin appearing on her face, which just made the scary dragon look even scarier. "I have a much better idea."
She nosedived down and left a hole in the floor when she landed.
"Levi. I want you to stay here on the surface while I dive down. You don't know what he's capable of doing, and it's my shy son who's down there and who doesn't trust anyone he doesn't know."
She stepped into the water, immediately shifting into her mermaid-form.
"If Serpo comes out of the water instead of me... no matter what, I want you to petrify him."

Jim stopped walking and emptily stared in front of him, before he shook his head and walked on again.
"Michael 'Mike' Anderson? That's the guy we're talking about?", he mumbled, a rough tone in his voice. Rougher than usually.
"Everything that guy says is a filthy lie. It actually doesn't wonder me that he doesn't regret a thing. Asshole. Had I known it was him I wouldn't have brought him back."
He sighed and just concentrated on what Rachel asked him instead of what he felt for Mike.
Thus he just frowned, thinking for a moment.
"If you want to give him a second chance and do want to trust him, alright. Just don't put him anywhere where he could come across any experiments, dangerous substances or weapons. And I don't want you to ever get near him in person."

Dylan sighed happily, humming a random melody as he walked to the bedroom to get ready.
Struggling to get his tie on to make his look spot on, he decided to ask Lola to do it for him once she would be ready.
He got downstairs again and raised his eyebrow as he heard his phone ring.
"Cole? Why are you calling-
...
I don't live there anymore, stupid.
...
I eh... moved in with my girlfriend?
...
Lola.
...
Yes, the girl from the busstop.
...
I didn't have any time yet to phone! University is keeping me quite busy.
...
Don't your studies start in a couple of weeks too?
...
We'll see us there then- oh no. Maybe not.
...
Eh, I'll tell you at the wedding. How's mom doing?
...
What do you mean, you don't know?
...
Oh, Bailey's keeping her out of sight from anyone? Girls.
...
And Sam?
...
Of course he's nervous! Who wouldn't be?
...
Hey Cole, you got nothing to worry about either. This is not dad.
...
I know. Oh well, see you soon!"

Levi scoffed frustratedly, but didn't say one more word when he watched hunter dive.
Just to be sure, he stayed in his Leviathan form and soundlessly swam round over round through the lake, just below the surface, always keeping a close eye on below. He didn't know what he should do when Serpo would try to escape, but he knew he couldn't petrify him. He just couldn't. luckily, he could hear what was going on down there, so he could step in if things would get bad for Hunter and Misha.

Rachel raised one eyebrow at Jim.
It was obvious that Mike and Jim apparently had a past at hack or so.
"Honey, first: I'm immortal. Don't worry that Mike guy could do something to me. One snap of my fingers Andhra a ghost again, and then he can chill around in your pool of souls.
Second-"
Her voice had gained a sharp edge for a moment, but softened immediately again as she lifted her hand to stroke over his cheek.
"I'm not one of your soldiers, nor one of our kids, honey. you can't forbid me to ever get near him. Don't try that, it won't end well. We're equals."
She gently kissed his forehead and smiled a small, encouraging smile.
"I'm a big girl, honey, I can even tie my shoes on my own. Okay?"

With a soft smile, Lola listened to Dylan's conversation on the phone. She couldn't exactly understand what he was saying, but the sound of his voice comforted her a lot.
"Dylan...?", She said silently, when she came out of the bath after a while in her dress. Her dark brown hair falling down to her waist like silk, she gently stroked a streak of hair out of her face as she looked up at him.
"Oh wow, you look great. Will you help me with my hair?"
