Leah was tired. She had spent the day chasing down her subject. Her latest assignment was a politician who wanted to feed the poor of the city, and Leah's job was to stop him. She sprinted throughout the city. It had been ten years since she lost her wings. She lost them when she chose to rebel, to forsake being an angel to find freedom, and instead of freedom, she found herself indebted to a new force. At least this slavery felt different. She could drink in this sort of slavery. Her legs were tired by the time she arrived at the shelter. She climbed into the rafters and began to use her powers, cutting at wires from a distance so that they would spark and set fire as soon as they were used. It was perfect. Subtle, and perfect.
Jack watched over the park from the safety of a tree. He had helped ten people that day and was enjoying watching his work take its effect. People smiled, people ate, people laughed. It was what he loved about being an angel.

I just realized I made a mistake because I said AngelxDemon and because I said I'd do both genders, we'll have a angelxangel and demonxdemon.. I hope that's okay! If not we can change it, haha, my bad.
Eva sat atop an apartment building, her speckled gray and white wings unfolded and airing in the sun. She was watching over the city park. The whole scene seemed peaceful and happy, as if some sort of goodness had already spread throughout the people meandering about. This made the auburn haired girl smile, and an overall cheeriness filled the sir around her.
Dayton roamed the city streets clad in denim jeans and a leather jacket. His hair was ruffled slightly, but it gave him a bad boy appearance. He flashed a cocky smile to a group of girls walking by, which resulted in them giggling furiously, and him laughing. He loved teasing people like that, and he knew he could.

Jack spotted someone on the roof nearby and flew up there. His wings were pure black. He smiled and sat down on the edge of the roof. "You in the park too?" he asked. "Didn't know they assigned more than one of us to the same place at a time." he told her quietly. "Did I not do a good enough job? Am I in trouble or something?"
"Oh crap." Leah laughed as the first spark caught on fire, she leapt from the rafters and sprinted out. She took deep breaths as she stumbled to a stop on the footpath, laughing. "Amazing." she mumbled, pulling her phone out and sending a photo to her manager. Being a demon was a little like being a secret agent, except you never met the man in charge. She glanced to the side as she spotted someone she recognised from years ago, back when she was still an angel.

As the fellow angel with all black wings flew up beside her, Evangel offered him a soft smile. "No, you're not in trouble. And by the looks of it, this place seems thriving. I'm just flying around, checking out the city." She replied, her voice smooth and soft like honey.
Dayton froze slightly as he saw a colorful-haired girl near him. He didn't let this faze him, but somehow he knew her. He slipped on his sunglasses and leaned against a shop's outer wall, watching as people passed. Occasionally he'd trip a few if they're presence annoyed him.

"Good to know." Jack nodded slightly. "Are you new here?" he asked, letting his wings fold away. He only used them when he felt like he needed to. He hated showing off like some angels did. He was never one to act like he was better than anyone else because of what he was. Angels were no higher than humans, or even demons. They were all just servants.
Leah glanced at him once more. She remembered him now. She remembered the exact moment they had met. It was a fight. She had fought him over the top of the city when she was an angel, defending the exact building she was now working to destroy. A small smirk curved into her lips as she approached him. "Come here often?" she asked, her voice intentionally sleazy.

Eva laughed merrily and looked out over the building before replying. She ran a hand through her long, auburn hair and turned to him with a twinkle in her mocha eyes. "This area, yes. I typically work south of here in the poverty ridden areas." The angel replied, stretching her wings out before tucking them back in. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, a few clouds rolled by, and the air was joyous and happy.
Suddenly, the familiar girl approached Dayton. He didn't have as remarkable of a memory, so he couldn't quite place where he knew her from. "Heyo sweetheart. What's a cutie like you doing around here?" He drawled, his voice low and rugged as he seductively tilted his head to the familiar girl.

Jack leaned back on his hands, "What's your assignment?" he asked. "Whole group of people or just one person? I used to be assigned to this one guy. He was a complete mess, you know? But when he got better, I got reassigned. 'Help the poor' is apparently my job, but man, there are too many poor and I don't know how to help them. Especially with this one demon running around all the time. Name's Leah. You come across her?"
"Cute." Leah laughed, raising an eyebrow at him. "Doing my job, as I assume you're doing yours." she smirked, causing a car that passed by to crash in to the one in front of it. She grinned to herself, then looked at the man again. "I'm Leah. We've met before, but I had wings then."

Eva nodded, understanding his concerns. "Generally I help just a few families in particular. Single mother with two kids, and bankrupt parents with foster children. Both lovely groups of people." The angel replied. "Leah? No, it's been quite a while since I've run into any demons. They tend to leave me alone, I suppose."
"Wings... Hmm," Dayton knotted his brow in concentration and stared at a spot beyond Leah. Wings. Then it hit him. "Oh right, you're that damn angel who tried fighting me. Wow, look at ya' now princess. Moved to the dark side, I'm digging it," He spoke, a half smile teasing at the corners of his mouth.

"That's nice of them." Jack chuckled, picking at a leaf that had landed on the roof beside him. "Do you smell that?" he asked, standing up and looking around. He could see a fire building over at a homeless shelter. "Fire. She set the damn place on fire!" he exclaimed. "This is a new low, even for her. Come on." he jumped from the roof and began to fly towards the blaze.
Leah blushed a little, "Because my turn to the dark side was solely to impress you, right? All I wanted was a guy." she pushed off the wall and peered at the flames now all throughout the building. "I should probably get out of here before angels show up and decide to drag me to their leader."

Evangel started as a burning, acrid smell wafted to her nose. Following Jack's gaze, she located the source of the smell. This wasn't good. After he took off, she unfolded her wings and followed him, arching them up and back to gain more velocity.
Dayton grinned mischievously as he watched the building go up in flames. "I'm impressed, actually. Don't run away cupcake, those annoying little shits are half the fun!" The demon shouted as he stepped back go admire Leah's work. On the pavement ahead of him, a shadow of two figures with wings passed overhead and were circling back.

Jack circled around the building, glancing down below at the two demons standing by watching. Angels held certain powers over demons, since demons were by their very nature fallen and their powers restricted. He hated using those powers - he hated hurting demons, because he knew too many who used to be his friends. He knew this demon too. He knew Leah. They had been friends once. "You deal with the demons. I'll deal with the fire." he decided, whirling around and around over the building. The fire began to rise from the building, forming a sort of tornado of flames under him. He needed to fly these flames to a pool. An empty pool.
"Oh seriously?!" Leah groaned as she watched. She began to add more flames to the fire. The energy required to send flames directly in there would drain her, but it would be worth it. She would win.

Eva nodded and swooped down before landing in front of the two demons. Frowning deeply, she stepped forward, not afraid of either of them. "Alright, what's the point in this? You both knew you'd get caught so why not just give it up," the angle informed, her powers surging through her as she stared hard at the pair.
The demon rolled his eyes dramatically and stepped toward the annoying new addition to their fun. "We aren't bothering you personally, so why bother? You're not going to win this," Dayton's voice was even more rough as a sort of growl escaped his lips.

Leah was grateful for the man near her. She managed to pump more flames into the building, watching as Jack struggled to lift them all up. He managed, but in the process, set another two buildings on fire. Leah was satisfied, and tired. She turned to look at the angel, shrugging. "The point? I'm doing my job. Do you honestly believe that your job is better than mine? Don't be so damn self righteous. You don't hold the moral high ground. The world is corrupt. Admit it. We're all just part of the mess."
Jack groaned with the effort. He managed to get rid of the fire and then rushed back to deal with the two new ones he had made. He was beyond angry.

Eva tilted her head at the girl. She didn't like her already. "Setting fire to a shelter for people who don't have any is low and you know it. Besides, you chose this life. Mine only gets easier," the angle glanced up quickly to see if Jack would be returning soon. She hoped, she was a bit nervous around these two.
Dayton sneered and stepped inches away from the short little things face. "You're all the same. All piles of shit with no life and nothing better to do than serve others. That's all you are. You're no better than a beggar on the streets,"

Jack finished getting rid of the fires and landed on the ground, tucking his wings away quickly. He looked at Leah and then at Dayton, frowning. "Don't make that damn argument. You're killing innocents. Or at least trying to, and if you start this fight, you know you'll lose." he growled at them. "So walk away, scum. Walk away right now and we wont hurt you."
Leah stepped closer to Jack, "Seriously? You'll hurt me? I thought that when you angels got your wings, you lost your spines. You're spineless. You're weak. Weak." she spat at him, shoving him backwards. "And who's your friend? Got a new pet, Jack? Does she know you'll push her to be so damn good that she winds up being bad? She's weaker than you. You feed off of it."

Eva frowned thoughtfully at what the female demon was saying to Jack. There was a aura of familiarity between the two that went passed just routine acknowledgements of the other. They seemed to know each other on a more personal level. And weak? She was not weak!
Dayton laughed merrily at the two angels before him. Worthless kiss ups is what they were. The demon slyly slipped an arm around Leah's shoulders before she got too heated. A crowd was gathering. "let's ditch these two morons and go have some more fun," He mumbled seductively.

Leah didn't object. She didn't want to sleep with the demon beside her, at least she didn't think she wanted to. She turned and walked away with him, her arm around his waist just for show. "I could have fought them." she grumbled once they were out of sight, her eyes directed at the ground. "I didn't need you to drag me away."
"Damn her!" Jack exclaimed, turning and walking in the other direction.

Evangel watched Jack carefully and decided to let him cool down before attempting to speak with him. It had already been a rough day.
Dayton grinned. "Oh I know sweetheart, but we had some unwanted visitors spectating and that's not good for business," he commented as he removed his arm from around her and pulled out a cigarette.

Jack slowed down eventually, sitting down on a bench. "Sorry." he mumbled. "So, I never introduced myself. I'm Jack. And back there? That was Leah. We were friends when she was an angel. Then she... she made a dumb choice and now she's embraced it completely. It makes me angry... but you already knew that."
Leah held out her hand hopefully. "Got a spare?" she asked. "I haven't been able to buy any this week."

"I'm Evangel, or Eva. Yeah, I could kind of tell you two knew eachother from somewhere. And who was that tall, scary one?" She asked curiously. He seemed aggressive, even more so than an average demon.
Dayton stuck his own between his lips and offered one to Leah. After lighting his own, he moved to light hers for her.

"I don't know him." Jack told her honestly. "I've seen him around but never talked to him. But if he's with Leah now, then she's only going to get worse... So, what's your story, Eva?" he asked curiously. "Enough about me."
Leah smiled and took a long puff, "Thanks." she mumbled. "I needed this."

Eva nodded and stared up at the bright blue sky. "There isn't much to tell. I haven't run into this many demons in a single day in what seems like an eternity. I don't have any interesting stories or whatever,"
Dayton just nodded in recognition and leaned against the nearest wall, talking a long drag. That female angel seemed a bit familiar, but she had an air of innocence about her that came from more than just being an angel. It was apparent she hadn't had much experience around demons. With a grin, he hoped today spooked her off.

"Really?" Jack asked, chuckling slightly. "I'm a bit jealous." he admitted. "I wish I never ran into them. I hate seeing my friend like that. I mean, why would you take pleasure in hurting other people? It's ridiculous. Demons are ridiculous. I want... I want them all to die, for the good of everyone else."
Leah leaned against the wall beside him, sighing quietly and looking up at him. "So, what's your deal?" she asked. "We fought when I was an angel, and if my memory is right, you're one of the few demons who could beat an angel in a fight. How?"

Eva sighed sadly and nodded, agreeing with the other angel before her. They, the demons, didn't really help anything with the world. If they were wiped out there wouldn't be a sudden gaping whole in the way the world ran. But that's what the angels are for ;keep the place sane as long as they could.
Dayton thought about this. He was powerful, maybe even more so that most demons. And he was ruthless when it came to battle. Absolutely merciless. "I dunno sugar, I'm just good like that. You have to be aggressive. Aim to kill."
