Chapter Text

lucifer morningstar looked on the fires of his domain. The pentagram city. The king of hell and sin of pride fought back tears as he watched the exterminators return to heaven.

'another year that you take from me you feathered fuckers.' he growled under his breath.

When heaven decided to do this extermination it was a kick to an already downed man… first they banish him and his love and then when they turn this hell into their own paradise they bring their killers down here.

'I just wish I could take something from them.' Lucifers said with a frown.

With the angels gone the sky darkened but suddenly a flash of red came down and shot from the sky in a ball of white light.

'what the hell.' lucifer exclaimed noticing the ball shoot down toward him.

The devil teleported from his workroom and appeared between his castle and the meteor lifting his hand to stop it.

The devil felt the impact as his hand hit him hard in his hand with a white lightning shock and he could feel a holy smite equal to his own rank which could kill him if he wasnt prepared.

Lucifer fell back using his wings to hover. Clutching the sphere like a small child.

Lucifer held this thing close as he fell to the earth in a crater.

In the aftermath of the attack the fallen angel felt himself grow silent.

The silence was pierced by a shrill cry… a babies cry.

'a baby.' lucifer looked at the child in his hand wrapped in a all white cloth of pure light with a broken halo and white skin with black patches all over it. The most catching features was his pure blue right eye and his demonic red left eye. 'a angel baby?'

the angel looked up at lucifer and smiled at him while reaching up for the devil.

'oh no you are not stayin… as soon as I find a nice home to put you in thats where we are gonna part way.' lucifer said lifting the baby who let out a rubber duck squeak as a reply making the devils eyes go wide with a cute look and a smile. 'oh I am so keeping you. Welcome to the family…. Uh what should I name… uh samael, aragor, micheal… fuck no on that last one in particular. Ill just leave the naming to lilly and charlie.'

charlie was so happy. Not only did she get to go to lulu land but she got to go with her mommy. The queen of hell loomed behind her daugther with a smile on her face.

Charlie skipped up the street to the castle of their home. Humming one of her mothers songs.

'what are you singing my darling love.'lilith asked her voice so sweet and tender.

'I am singing the song you sung to those demons last fall at the festival. Member.' the sweet demon replied returning to her skip dance and song.

'that was a good festival.' Lilith stopped in her tracks letting her daugther get far ahead of her.

Charlie noticed her mothers prescence waning as she turned and looked and said.

'mommy, whats wrong.' charlie asked raising an eyebrow. Her little six year old mind couldn't comprehend what hid behind her mothers smile.

Lilith snapped out of her trance then silently walked up to her daugther and lifted charlie and sung a song.

'happy birthday to you.' she began.

'mama?' charlie asked.

Lilith passed the gates of the castle 'our wait was long but its through'

'those arent the words mommy.' charlie was confused.

'we been waiting just for you. Happy birthday… happy birthday to you.'

lilith opened the door revealing lucifer holding a baby bundle in his arms with a baby bottle in his arms.

'my love youve returned. We have much to discuss.' He began but was cut off by lilith raising a hand to his face.

'hand me the baby… and hold charlie.' she commanded in a voice a little too cold which made charlie a little scared.

When charlie went into her fathers arms she held him close and whispered in his ear.

'is mama having another one of her episodes daddy. Can you make it go away with angel magic.'

'honey it will be ok. You know mommy and daddy wont hurt you, right.' Lucifer comforted his daugther as he watched lilith take a possessive hold of the baby as their eyes meet.

'look at him. Hes everything ive wanted. Between him and charlie I now have everything I could want.' Lilith said her voice cracking.

'mama who is that baby' charlie asked glad to hear her mama back.

'charlie id like to introduce you to your new baby brother… dear this is jeane morningstar.'

lilith showed the baby to charlie who instantly looked down amazed at jeane with a smile. Lucifer put charlie down as she ran up to the baby with a smile and looked him in the eyes.

'can I hold him.'

lilith at first seemed reluctant cringing at charlie when she tried to touch the baby but then reached down and looked at charlie. 'mind his head and hold him close… hes your reponsibility now… your the big sister and if anything ever happens it will be up to you to protect him… from everything… can you do that… promise me charlie.'

'I promise mama… I will be my brothers keeper.'

lilith smiled at that and patted her daugthers head.

Chapter Text

Time passed and children grew, while the morningstar parents were seperated by divorce and liliths strange seven year absence the bond between charlie and her brother jeane never diminished.

Everywhere charlie went jeane went as well. They were thick as thieves. When charlie revealed her plan for her hotel jeane was the first to support her even when their father just waved them off.

But as the years went by jeanes curiosity only grew as he wanted to see more of the outside world but due to at first his mother liliths command to be by her side at all times he wasnt allowed to leave the castle unless escorted by her or another member of his family.

After lilith departed charlie took on that role and refused to let him leave her side and even did stuff like look his door with powerful magic to keep the angels at bay when extermination happened… just like it did last week.

But the poor boy couldn't help but feel there was something more out there for him outside these hotel walls.

Jeane woke up with a yawn his short black and white hair a mess. He threw the blankets from his body and flung his small legs over his big bed frame.

The boy smacked his white lips as jumped up from his bed and stretched.

A pecking on the window caught the young demons attention and he walked to them.

The boy opened the door to reveal a fully grown hell bird with her clutch of new borns ready to fly.

The boy smiled as he looked at them.

'Is today the day little friends.' the boy inquired excitedly. He remembered when he first found the mama bird injured… he had begged vaggie to let him keep it and heal it but she only agreed to let him keep it until it was healed stating it was a dangerous bird of prey and couldn't be tamed.

Vaggie was a mystery to jeane. She was like a second mom to him as she was charlies girlfriend and she immediately took to nurturing jeane and protecting him just like charlie does. The boy watched as a flock of birds flew overhead to greener pastures.

'well don't let me keep you.' jeane said, a tinge of sadness on his tone.

The bird flew to jeane and rubbed its razor beak gently on his face then leaned its head upwards.

'i-i cant… I don't have wings… I want to but I don't know where id even go.' Jeane admitted that he wanted to escape his confinement and explore hell but knew that charlie would never allow it.

The bird and her chicks looked sad at jeane then looking up then back at him one more time they flew away.

Jeane waved goodbye and the farther they went the more his heart sunk.

Song-maybe next time by ghost and molly mcgee

I never went

I stay at home

while others are living their best lives

im playing on my phone

we're too afraid to let me go away

maybe next time

we would say

we played it safe

we take no chances

I have no stories

no adventures, no romances

I could make plans

but she'd cancel or delay

you cant go

Maybe next

she would say

could be on a surfboard

riding on the swells

but instead im on the sofa in this happy hotel

but im not very happy

as you can see

why cant she let me go so I can be free

ive wasted my life

as far as ive lived

the want always calling

but the spirit wont give

id risk it all

yet I feel so numb

watching hell on a screen from a thousand rings away

parties, in gluttony

me eating at some gluttony buffet

shes so afraid of me dying

that Ill never live a day

every time…

maybe next time

she would say.

Tears fell upon the window sill as jeane finished his song. He could feel himself choking up as he looked down at the empty nest.

'goodbye… maybe next time' he said closing the window.

A trio of knocks on jeanes door echoed throughout his room.

'jeane, are you up. I need to get you ready for the day.' Charlies voice muffled from behind the door.

Jeane froze and immediately began wiping his face. Charlie could not see him crying it would break her heart if she found out he was sad and doubly so if it had anything remotely to do with her… charlie was a bad sister she cared a lot but jeane just wanted to go and see the world.

'don't come in, im uh, not feeling well.' Jeane replied and immediately slapped himself in the face.

As if by clockwork the door was kicled down by vaggie with a med kit and charlie instantly followed her into the room.

The demon princess scanned the room and noticing the open window.

'oh jeane, what have I told about leaving the window open.' charlie then walked up to it and closed it then applied a charm against angels and demons along with a new lock. 'there now my little man is safe.'

Vaggie meanwhile was surveying the room looking in the closet, the bathroom, and under his bed.

After that she then saluted charlie. 'the room is secured no threats detected charles.'

'thanks vaggie.' she then kissed her girlfriend who blushed.

Jeane froze as they both looked at him.

Vaggie immediately brought out the kit and started taking jeanes temperature.

'98.5, its normal.' she then pulled out a sthenoscope and listened to his heart. 'heart sounds okay.'

'oh maybe he has a tummy ache. We did eat a lot of pizza last night.' charlie replied worried.

'no thats not it… I smell something.'Vaggie then started sniffing jeane. 'small amounts of salt wrapped in moisture… youve been crying.'

'crying!?' charlie instantly became a red skinned horned demon form as she charged jeane and grabbed his shoulder. 'who hurt you!'

'nobody!' jeane could feel charlie shake him.

'don't you lie to your sister, you were crying… someone must have hurt you now tell me who I have to burn.'charlie had a demonnic voice.

Jeane looked at vaggie who was just as angry. 'I would just tell her you know how she gets.'

'i-i wasnt crying because someone hurt me! I swear!' Jeane exclaimed.

Charlies form slowly began to dissolve. 'then why.'

'because… because… I miss mom!' jeane had to think fast and luckily he could tell charlie a half truth. He did miss lilith as she was very close with jeane but he had accepted that if she wanted to come back she would.

The boy watched charlie form return to her lovable self as she leapt at him with a hug and held him close then rubbed his back.

'I miss her too little guy. But as long as I have you… a piece of mom is always with us.' she then piced jeane up. 'now its time to get your stinky little body into the shower.'

'I can shower myself you know.' jeane said. As charlie took him to his bathroom.

'I know but weve bathed together since we were kids why break tradition.'

Jeane was immediately layed on the floor and stripped of his clothing forcing him to cover his private area.

'cant I get a little privacy around here.' jeane said irritated as charlie began to run her fingers up and down his thin four foot body which was mostly white with black spots as she leaned down and blew on his tummy which had a big black spot making him giggle like a toddler.

'ah but you love sibling bath time ever since you were a little teeny tiny baby ' charlie played with jeane as vaggie ran the shower constantly testing the water with her hand.

'yeah when I was a kid but we are adults now and its weird.'

'its not weird and you just turned to an adult last year so don't get too big for your britches. You live in my hotel so you live by my fun guidelines.' Charlie said lifting jeane into the shower and began to bath him.

Once the bath was complete jeane was placed in a suit that was exactly like his sisters and vaggie immediately took to grooming his short black hair with white straight into a pixie cut. She dabbed some nice cologne and rubbed deoordant on his pits raising his arms.

'you did good today. Good job son.' Vaggie patted jeanes head then hugged him and kissed his cheek.

'now come on alastor has something to show us. I bet its our new commercial.' charlie replied excited.

Jeane followed her his red and blue eyes narrowing at the mention of the radio demon.

'charlie do you trust that guy… really.' jeane asked following his sister realizing that vaggie was holding his hand making sure that he was safe as she held her angelic spear.

'of course he has been a big help.'

'but you know the stories right. About how he got so powerful.' Jeane never liked the radio demon he also had a bad feeling about him and alastor was always so obessessed with him always asking to hang out and talk and jeane could feel him watching him through the shadows.

The trio walked down the stairs and walked up to the coach and sat down to look at the tv.

Alastor waited patiently then showed them a commercial which was open mockery of the hotel, charlie, and everyone except him.

'what do ya think.' Alastor asked his voice distorted by that radio static effect.

'ok what the fuck.' Vaggie exclaimed her grasp tightening on jeanes hand.

'yeah one note. Alastor this commercial was meant to make people want to stay here. But the commercial makes the hotel look less… it makes us look… eh…' Charlie was struggling but both jeane and vaggie glared at alastor.

'bad charlie.'they said in unison. Sharing a satisified smile.

'funny I was going for hilarious.'

'we don't want hilarious. We want sinners to come here so they can find their path to redemption.' Vaggie explained then watched as alastor turned his gaze to jeane.

'well im sorry my dear it has been a long time since I manifested in hell and everyone knows me from my radio plays… the proper medium to express oneself.' he said matter of fact before tapping his staff at the tv. 'but instead you choose this noisey overblown advertisement… so I had a little fun with it.'

'oh fun, you had a little fun with it.'

'you petty dick.'

'jeane!' both charlie and vaggie exclaimed.

The boy looked down scolded.

'but hes right your petty display has made getting patrons at this hotel a helluva lot harder.' Vaggie stated.

A throat was cleared and all attention fell to angel dust.

Jeane liked angeldust in exchange for jeane hiding stuff for him angel would tell him stuff about the outside world. He and angel had formed a kinda friendship and the boy even got angel to stop hitting on him.

'yes angel.' Vaggie groaned.

'if I may be so bold.'

charlie raised a finger. 'one minute. Vaggie ears.'

Vaggie nodded and covered jeanes ears and charlie covered jeanes eyes.

'now you may,'

'Really.' jeane sighed.

'I would suggest you make a better use of the local talent at hand. If you let me film the commercial I will have this place full of greasy patrons wanting to break in.'

'angel we are not making a porn for a commercial.'

'why not. Sex sales don't it. I garuntee if you filmed me going at it with talk weird mc creepy voice this place would be flooded.' alastor teleported in red mist beside angel with a fake smile jeane knew most of them were fake.

'ha ha never going to happen.' he said deadpan.

'your loss.'

Charlie nodded 'angel I appreciate the offer but I don't want to exploit you like that you know.'

'oh please baby this body was made to be exploited. I got the body, I got the legs, I got the stamina, I got the legs, also the lung capacity' angel went on a tangent making everyone who can hear groan.

Just then charlies phone rung and she removed her hands from jeanes eyes for him to see it was their father calling.

Jeane couldn't remember the last time he talked to their dad. It had to have been seven years ago when lilith mysteriously left all of them behind with just telling her children they would meet again and she was divorcing lucifer in a note.

Ever since that day jeane and charlie had been the closest to each other in their families as they could be and their dad only called when he needed something.

'I gotta take this. Vaggie make sure no one does anything inapprobiate to jeane and jeane.' Charlie then leaned down and kissed jeanes forehead with a smile 'stay adorable cutie.'

the girl then disappeared behind a corner.

'so vaggie when are you gonna wean the poor thing.' alastor jabbed with a smile.

'what the fuck did you say to me pendejo' vaggie flared a nostril and was ready to strike.

'im just saying breastfeeding an 18 year old seems a bit extreme but hey who am I to judge your kinks.'alastor laughed.

'fuck you. we Don't do that.'

'but you bath with him, cut his meat for him, you even have baby monitors hidden in that poor mans room.'

'why is that any of yoru business.'

'wait you have baby monitors in my room.'

'several actually one right next to your head so they can hear you snore out a mewling cry for mommy.' alastor teased.

'alright motherfucker your crossing a line now.'

'your gonna push him away if you hold him any tighter.' alastors eyes turned into the demonic clocks to show he was serious making vaggie freeze. 'but what do I know I hate children.'

vaggie then pulls jeane to her shoulder and kisses his forehead.

Vaggie cursed to herself in spanish under her breath.

'vaggie holy shit!' charlie exclaimed.

Vaggie jumped out of her seat nearly dropping jeane but grabbing him in a bridal carry.

The purple skinned sinner turned to see charlie waying her over biting her lower lip in excitement.

Vaggie sighed happily.

'looks like our girl has got some good news. You stay here with uncle husk and be good.' vaggie then sat jeane on the coach and turned to the bar keep.

'hey husk, I have a job for you.'

'is it another babysitting gig.'

'just watch jeane and keep these sinners from corrupting him'

Husk groaned then looked at alastor who nodded at him.

'eh sure whatever fuck.' he grunted.

Vaggie then rubbed jeanes head. 'ill be back, be a good boy and ill give you a treat. Love you.'

'I know.'

'jeane… I want you to say it back.' Vaggie replied seriously.

'I love you.' Jeane said under his breath.

'little louder.' vaggie said crossing her arms.

'I love you' jeane replied.

'thats better be good.' vaggie as she walked up to the corner where charlie and waited and was grabbed.

Meanwhile alastor immediately walked up to jeane and stood over him.

Jeane instantly took in the smell of death and rot on the demon and an unease overtook him.

'smile my dear boy. Your never fully dressed without one.' he said in his classic showman tone of voice.

'im not in a smiling mood.' Jeane turned toward the tv noticing that on it was a video of the plains of wrath where a bunch of fire stallions ran free.

'beautiful creatures arent they… you know they mate for life life humans no but unlike humans they don't feel a need to seattle down they go where they want, live where they want, do what they want.'

'I know what your gonna say.'

'oh pray tell. I do so love fortune tellers.'

'your gonna say that charlie and vaggie are just doing what they think is best for me and that I should be grateful I have someone like them in hell to care for me.'

'actually id say they are overbearing worry warts who cant see how much of a grown adult you are. Why your practically a demon grown and youve had no experience. When I was a boy of your age we would have had visited at least three different countries at that age. You need to be free.'

Jeane was surprised. 'wow I fully expected you to side with my sister since you work for her.'

'two things first I work for no one.' alastor took on his serious form with the symbols showing but he instantly returned to his fun loving form. 'second always keep them guessing when it comes to your next move thats how you keep those who are against you on their toes.'

'I just wish charlie would see that I can do things on my own and that im not a little baby that needs to be watched all the time.'

'if only you could get a chance to show her how much of a help you could be. Why if say you snuck out of your room today and followed her to the heaven embassy then I daresay you could be the emotional support needed for her plan to succeed and if that were to happen id say she would have to admit you are a grown demon and give you your freedom.'

'heaven embassy? What are you talking about.'

'charlie hold on. Where she go.' vaggie called as charlie was already out the door skipping and twirling like a dancer.

'that bitch is half way down the street.'

'don't tell me is she.'

'oh shes dancing.'

'no. Alright jeane your going to your room now.' Vaggie ordered.

'What why, its not my bed time and where is charlie going.'

'the angels want a meeting and your sister being the lovable goof she is thinks she can get them to sponsor her plan and I don't have the hurt to tell her that shes wrong so in case this turns sour im putting you in the one room safe from angel and demons. Now march young man.'

Alastor leaned down and whispered. 'ill provide you a means to escape its up to you to find your moment and seize your chance. Jeane you have to decide. Do you want to be a boy forever coddled by his sister and her lover, or do you want to be a man living wild and free. Your choice.

'jeane!' Vaggie yelled at the top of the stairs.

The boy leapt and ran to the edge of the stairs looking back at alastor who wore his same fake sinister smile.

He looked up at vaggie who had her arms crossed.

The boy walked up to her.

'what was alastor saying to you.'

'he was trying to...make a deal with me.'

'that bastard ill make sure he knows not to do that again. Jeane you cant let yourself be taken in by these sinners remember what I told you.'

'sinners are what make hell terrible.' they both said in unison.

'I know but isnt that a bit hypocritical miss vaggie. Considering your a sinner.'

Vaggie looked away. 'thats how I know jeane.'

'Vaggie I don't want to stay confined in my room any more.'

Vaggie freezes. 'What.'

'I want to go out. See the other rings maybe even go to earth.'

Vaggie shook her head.

'Please vaggie im not a child anymore. I deserve a chance to live my life.'

'No!'Vaggie exclaimed her eyes flashing with something made jeane obey something he felt familiar to his heart that he couldn't place. The boy could always tell the content of beings soul and he walked back and looked at vaggie whose hair was going crazy until she calmed.

'Jeane. Remember what I told you when we meet four years ago.'

In here by hunchback of notre dame

Vaggie turns her head over her shoulder conspiratorially: you don't understand how cruel the world outside this hotel can be but I do...oh I do.

Vaggie closes he distance between jeane and herself lightly touch his face and move it to meet her single eye gaxe: hell is cruel, hell Is wicked.

Vaggue pulls jeane close to her chest holding him tight like he would evaporate if she let go: tis us alone you can trust in this whole city.

Vaggie then looks at jeane like he is her child her eyes soften as she touches his cheek: we who feed you, bath you, keep you, dress you.

Vaggie then leads jeane with his hand in hers down the hall toward his room: I who would die for you without fear.

Vaggie then froze letting out a soft sob: how can I protect you jeane unless you always stay in here.

Vaggie then pulls jeane close to her holding him close: safe in here.

Vaggie then looks at jeane as they stop at his door and they open it to his room. Vaggie turns on the tv to show the news which displayed a gangwar: repeat after me.

Jeane nodded his head watching the violence.

A sinner beats a couple demons to death: sinners are depraved.

Jeane watches a sinner get crushed by a kaiju sinner: sinners are depraved.

The news shows a huge bomb ending the war with blast and a swat team of demons coming to sweep the rest: and they are ugly

jeane watches the demons beg for mercy and receive none: and they are ugly.

Vaggie nods her head approving: and there crimes have made this world one of very little pity. You do not comprehend.

The tv turns off as vaggie takes jeanes hand and leads him to the bed and places him under the covers.: you are my only defenders.

Vaggie tucks jeane in: out there they hurt each other because there monsters

jeane looks out to the city: sinners are monsters.

Vaggie nods her head running her fingers through jeanes hair: out there they will rape and scorn and jeer

jeane looks away: they are only monsters

Vaggie fluffs jeanes pillow and gently places his head on the pillow and smiles: why invite their calimity and consternation. Stay in here.

Vaggie runs her hand under the cover to make sure jeane is tucked in tight: be thankful to us.

Jeane yawns: im thankful to you.

Then kisses his forehead: be grateful to us.

Jeane lays his head down: im grateful to you.

Vaggie gets up and goes to the door then looks back at jeane.: do as we say, obey, and…

both of them sing in perfect harmony:

Stay in here.

'Goodnight miss vaggie.' Jeane replied feigning tiredness.

The girl smiled. 'rest well nino. When charlie gets back well all go for a family outing ok.'

'ok love you.'

'Love you too… more then life itself.' vaggie said shutting the door. Clicking the lock with a key and then an incantion of an anti angel and demon spell.

Jeane sighed as he got out of bed and went to the windowsill.

As jeane was about to give up hope the symbols of alastor showed up dispellling the angelic wards and unlocking the lock. The window slid open.

The jeane looked down to see in his all red suit alastor with a smile who waved at him before returning to the hotel lounge.

Out there from hunchback of notre dame

jeane looked out to the city his heart filled with hesitation: safe inside these walls and parapets of brick. Watching the city far beyond me.

Jeane watched as charlie reached the city and faded from site: everyday im stuck here never being allowed to know. Ignorant of the world around me

Jeane grabs his phone and looks on hellstagram looking at the various videos: everyday I memorize these moments, wanting it like no one could rvrt believe.

Jeane sees the image of his phone show an image say need a break, take a vaction: wondering whats it like to spend a day not above them but part of them.

Jeane leapt out the window sliding down the shingles of room gracefully: out there running on the street.

Jeane reached the edge of the room and climb down and hung over the roof: give me one day out there thats all I seek, to hold forever. Out there where everyone lives unaware, what Id give, what id dare.

Just to live one day out there.

Jeane leaps down from the roof and runs down the street to city: out there the sinners fuss and fight and go about their lives heedless of the freedom that it means to be them. Everyday I watch go about their lives headles of the lives I covetous needed.

Jeane reaches the city line between the hotel outskirts and the city:if I could live in their skin id treasure every instant.

Jeane wondered around the city watching as the sinners picked up the fore and decay from the xtermination: taste the morning out there. Like an ordinary man to freely walk about there. Out there I can live free and without a care. I can be content with my share… I wont regret, wont despair...ill be old and bent but I wont care because ill have lived one day out here.

Jeane finished his song only to instantly realized that he stepped insided the guts of some smelly fish demon.

'Oh fuck im gonna be sick' jeane leapt back then vomited.

A well dressed woman walked up to jeane with a sharp toothed smile pointed to the fish demon. 'excuse me my good fellow but I must inquire do you plan to consume that fine specimen.'

'uh no.' Jeane raised an eyebrow.

The sharp toothed demon smiled wider. 'oh goody.' she then called over. 'fish is on the menu over here boys.'

and immediately after her and four other well dressed demons fell on the fish in a feeding frenzy.

Jeane backed away in a slow pace then picked it up as he noticed too demons in a shouting match then ran as they pulled out their guns.

The boy ran as fast as he could and immediately bumped into a big woman with big assets.

'what the fuck.' she shouted reaching in her purse for something stopping when she saw jeane which made her take a seductive look on her face. 'oh hey cutie you looking for a good time.'

Jeane backed away raising his hands non threateningly. 'no thank you madam that is a very gracious.'

'your loss you limp dick bitch.' She said pulling a drag on a cigarette.

Jeane ran up to the an alleyway where he saw a cat demon and a worm demon committing what angel dust would call a transaction jeane looked away and tried to collect his thoughts.

'ok jeane you wanted to be out here. This is hell, stuff like this happens ever day.'

'oh fuck yeah put that worm tendril In my little black ass.' The cat screamed making jeane wince.

The boy surveyed his surrounding thinking on what he wanted to do.

If only you could show charlie you are a grown demon. Alastors voice repeated in jeanes head. The boy remembered what he said.

'thats it the embassy. If I go to the embassy and help charlie succeed then shell have to stop treating me like a child and let me be an adult. Now all I have to do is find the heaven embassy.'

The boy looked up and saw the clock tower which counted down to the next extermination which jeane nodded.

'yep that is where it would be.' Jeane ran down the street of the city until came to the stairs of the heaven embassy where he saw charlie enter inside.

The boy followed close behind and opened the door to reveal charlie walking to the front desk. He tried to sneak in behind her but the door slammed behind him loud forcing charlie to turn quickly.

'Jeane what are you doing here. Your supposed to be at the hotel where its safe.' Charlie sounded worried immediately reached for jeanes hand.

Jeane pulled away 'I came to help you with your plan.'

'absolutely not. This is too dangerous for you my sweet little demonling.' she then cupped his face. 'what if the angels take offence at me bringing a guest and try to arrest you. I wont let them take you from me.'

'but charlie.'

'no buts, we are going home this instant and you… you are grounded for… one day with no phone or tv for breaking out of your room.'

the clock tower chimes and the pair freeze.

'charlie are you sure you can take me back to the hotel and then get back here in time.' Jeane smiled at his own cleverness knowing demon magic didn't work in the heaven embassy.

'well uh, I…'

'the angels would be less receptive to your plan if you were late.' Jeane then smirked as charlie glared at him.

'you don't play fair. Fine you can stay but stick close to me ok and no matter what happens don't do anything to upset them ok. I couldn't stand it if they did anything to hurt you.' Charlie took jeanes hand and walked with him down the golden halls of the embassy.

Charlie held her brother close to her.

Meanwhile jeane was mesmerized by the murals of the angels especially the six wing seraphs. Jeane always wanted wings like their father but he was told by both his dad and charlie that wings were meant for true demons.

Jeane looked at the centerpiece of the embassy an image of the garden of eden with a great tree which at its root was a great black mass with an evil face. Jeane looked at its eyes and felt his mind race with screams.

The boy fell to his knees grabbing his head.

Charlie over her brother holding him. 'You ok jeane.'

the screams silenced with charlie. 'yeah. Just a headache.'

Jeane followed charlie down looking back one more time at the evil face feeling some kinda familiarity with it as they reached a pair of double doors which were slightly ajar.

The pair opened the door to reveal an angel dressed all In white robe with an led mask and a pair of old horns sitting down eating ribs while beside him was an excorist angel. Jeane froze while charlie placed her hand over jeane.

'hey wass up' the angel said raising a hand narrowing a gaze to the pair.

'um hello im charlie and this is my baby brother jeane our dad told us to come in his place to talk with you for the meeting.' charlie began feeling uneasy as both angels turned their vision to jeane observing him apprasingly.

'hello, uh hey, are you uh paying attention.' Charlie snapped her fingers trying to snap their concentration from her brother who was quivering their gaze.

'so uh charlie was it. Lilith had another kid… how old is he.' the angel asked raising an eyebrow.

'hes eighteen but as you can see he is very small and thus we cant rush his integration into adult society.' Charlie started.

'eighteen huh, so he is an adult right. So uh jeane can you lift your shirt for me.' The angel asked using his finger to indicate what he wanted.

'excuse me! mr. Angel that is very inapprobiate. This is not why we are here.' charlie slapped the table with a loud crash.

'its adam and please humor me.' Adam said and his assistant then walked up to charlie looming over her.

'and don't have an outburst like that again demon.' The excorist threatened.

'hey its ok, ill lift my shirt, if it gets this meeting moving along.' Jeane lifted his shirt showing his body with the black spot.

Adam appraised it with a hum. 'alright I got what I need. Sick birthmark bro. Anyway onto what we need to talk about.'

Lute meanwhile was looking at jeane with an appraising look.

'lute stop staring at the boy… your scaring him.'

lute huffed storming toward her master but once she was behind him she never took her gaze off jeane.

Jeane felt the pressure of the excorist gaze.

'Ok, mr. Adam. I would like to request that heaven accept a new idea.' Charlie suggested.

'And what is this new idea.'

'well hells population is a mutually assured problem and I personally find the exterminations immoral and disdainful so how about this plan… I make a hotel that specifically works to redeem sinners so they can go to heaven and you guys don't have to come here to hell every year.'

'Hmm, I guess that is an idea… on the one hand extermination is our entertainment on the other your idea has merit.'

Charlies eyes widened. 'did you say my idea has merit.' the demon princess had a huge twinkle in her eyes.

'sure babe I don't see why I cant bring this up to the board at the next meeting in say a month.' adam replied looking at jeane. 'hey buddy, are you hungry. Lute fetch our friend here some ribs.'

'uh jeane actually doesn't eat meat all that often hurts his little tummy too much.' charlie jabbed jeane with her finger making baby noises.

'charlie stop, your embarrassing me.' Jeane flushed at his sisters cooing.

'oh but you are so cute when you are embarrassed your like a little red face panda. Yes you are.'

Lute slapped down a plate of ribs. 'adam said eat… now eat.' Lute said.

'woah there danger tits lets not go crazy. Lets try to be chill.' Adam said.

'Ill try the ribs. Adam sir.' Jeane said definetly. Reaching for the ribs but charlie instantly was about to grab them.

Lute however pulled the plate and grabbed a rib.

'uh miss lute.'

'its lieutenant lute to you princess.'

'alright well I as jeanes beloveed sister and caretaker of seven years is usually the one in charge of feeding him when the meal would be too difficult for him so if you could.'

Lute glared at her with her led mask and charlie whimpered.

The angel then leaned the rib into jeanes mom and took a bite. Moaning a small bit as it was very tasty. The meat sauce ran down his lip.

'oh jeane your such a messy little boy. Let me get that.' Charlie fumbled for a hankcerchef when lute wiped jeanes cheek with her thumb then stuck it in her mouth.

The pair stood mouth agape while adam laughed a bit nervous.

'woah what the here. Thats so unlike you lute. She must really like you jeane she never does that for anyone especially not someone in hell. Anyway onto what id need to get the boards approval for this redeemption hotel plan going.'

Charlie was eyeing the exorcist suspiciously but then looked at adam with a smile 'yes anything.'

'well there gonna want some proof that a sinner could even be raised to the standard of a heaven raised soul so we need someone who is from hell who matches heavens standards and has been in your care and tutelage you got anyone In mind.'

'Angel dust is our patron and if you give us a month to whip him into shape I assure you we can get your board to agree to the plan.' Charlie said smiling but sensing something in adams wording.

'Yeah but for this to take place im gonna need to shop the product around to the inhabitants beforehand you know, get them used to a sinner who has turned his life around and is gonna be living in heaven now, like we need someone ready to impress all tears of heaven and I need them before I can even think nof taking them to a board meeting..'

'Im afraid I don't think we have anyone like that.' Charlie noticed them both looking at jeane.

'What about him.' Adam pointed to jeane.

Charlie immediately grabbed jeane and pulled him toward her. 'jeane… buts he is my brother… I cant just let you take him up to heaven for a month.'

'oh it wouldnt just be for a month. I think that if you gave me him I could not only convince heaven to allow the hotel to exist and succeed but to immediately grant your bro access to heaven. Arent I a nice guy.'

'no. Im sorry but… look I would do anything for my hotel to succeed so that my people don't have to be slaughtered but jeane… he needs me… im all he has… so if you wont help me without me giving him to you… then im sorry but I will have to take it up with the heaven high commission then.'

Adam narrowed his glare at charlie and so did lute.

'so thats how its gonna be… alright then. I tried to be nice now I have to do what I came here for… lute if you please.' adam clicked his finger and lute revealed a scroll and unrolled it revealing the text.

'oh my god you don't mean.' charlies mom agape.

The text read… that the next extermination will happen in six months.

'but why!'

'I tried to be nice but don't let the door hit you on the way out.'

'you petty bastard.' Charlie was about to attack but jeane grabbed her hand.

'charlie… lets go… now.' Jeane looked at her in the eyes. He froze as he noticed something in his head that told him about the danger that was prevalent…

charlie grabbed jeane and pulled him then ran off with the boy. The pair of them all storm out of the building.

It wasnt long before jeane and charlie walked down the street of hell and charlie fell down in a ball and began crying.

'I really messed it up today didn't I.' Charlie asked.

'only because I was there… your right I wasnt ready for this…'

'maybe not… but you did save me from that crazy bitch lute.'

'you noticed that.' Jeane asked.

'Im your sister. I know when your acting weird.'

The pair laughed.

'Charlie why didn't you just give me up. Send me to heaven so the hotel could thrive.'

'because jeane… I have a dream for my hotel to thrive… but a single dream no matter how grand is equal to the love I have for my baby brother.'

Charlie wrapped her arm around jeane and rubbed his head.

'look I know I seem like I always want to keep you locked away but today shows that you are not ready for the outside world… but you are more of an adult then id give you credit for…'

'so I can leave the hotel without supervision now.'

'baby steps little one baby steps. Lets start with one hour of unsupervised free time.'

'its a start I love you big sis.' Jeane rubs his head against charlie with a smile and kisses her cheek.

Meanwhile in the spy ship of the angels over the extermination building. The ship flies over the debris and scans the decapitated body of a dead angel.

'theyve never been able to kill one of us before sir. We should go down there now and exterminate every last one.'

Adam meanwhile had a big smile. Looking at an ipad.

'sir… what are you looking at.'

'lute my love.. we found him.' Adam revealed the image on the ipad of himself and jeane showing a full dna match.

'impossible… the missing third son of adam… is in hell! Blasphemy! Travesty! Sir I will reclaim him for us right now from that foul harpy and her house of ill repute.'

Adam raised his hand with a smile. 'no need… ive already informed the boss lady and she has instructed me to trust in her abilities…'

'but sir if we don't get him back by the time of the extermination.'

'by the time the extermination happens jeane will be up in heaven with his parents… how do you feel about being called mommy by two people now.' Adam asked slapping lutes butt.

Lute smiled and blushed at that looking at jeanes pictures feeling something stir in her not just a maternal love and need to protect but a need to own and possess… a feeling in her very soul made her want jeane to embrace her and love her in ways that even adams mind couldn't fanthom.

One thought entered lutes mind as she looked at jeane with a smile. 'I think jeane will be very happy with me as his new mother… or mommy.' she laughs maniacally.

He will be mine!

Chapter Text

Jeane 5 years old waddled next to his older sister charlie already 16 and tall.

'there he is. Hi little guy.'

'charlie. Can we sing that song.' jeane sputtered out in his baby voice.

Charlie giggled 'what song.' teasing her baby brother.

'my favorite song.'

'oh that song. I don't know.' Charlie feigned hestiation looking away while keeping one eye on jeane.

'please.' jeane gave her big eyes with a smile

charlie instantly summoned a guitar and began strumming. 'alright only because I love you so much.'

Your my little walrus by filmcow

charlie began strumming the guitar vigorously: your my little brother.

Jeane played with his bow tie which his sister always tied for him: with the great big bow.

Charlie smiled patting his head: with the great big boy on your pretty neck.

Charlie then kissed jeane: your my little brother.

Jeane then jumped with a cheer: with the great big smile

charlie repeated the gesture and cheer: with a great big smile on your cute face.

Charlie then plopped down solemnly looking up at the roof: as we sit by the pool and dream of stars and the future we will sing.

Jeane clapped along unaware of his sisters change in behavior: we will sing

charlie continued looking up: this happy brother.

Jeane laughed a lot: I love you big sis.

Charlie said nothing but jeane felt strange: charlie

charlie: youve forgotten me jeane

jeane backed away: what are you talking about big sister.

Charlies head snapped toward jeane revealing that her eyes were black pools and her mouth was flooding with black liquid: remember what you are!

Jeane ran away screaming the castle that he made home distorted. The boy ran as far as he could. He cried out.

'mommy! Mommy! Help me! Something happened to charlie!'

just then jeane was lifted and before he knew it he felt calm.

'jeane, what troubles you my beloved.' His mother asked kissing his cheek.

'charlie, something happened.'

'jeane, nothing is wrong with charlie… remember… all you have to do is remember.'

'Remember what?'

Warrior of the mind by epic

suddenly in a burst of black and white light his mothers form became a silhouette: have you forgotten the lessons ive taught you.

Jeane couldn't touch her or get close: mother!

The light burned hotter and brither: have you forgotten what lies in your heart this is not you.

The light shines on and jeane feels something glow in his chest a reddish light that is shaped vaguely like an apple: you are changing from how weve how we designed you.

The apple twists and is pulled toward the light leaving jeane weak as he falls to his knees: have you forgotten your purpose let me remind you.

The light explodes and jeane finds himself in a garden but instead of teeming with greenery it is all black and dead: Root of all knowledge, dawn of the great war… your life has one mission, create the perfect consort.

Jeane sees the red apple flame be crushed and he awakes with a scream. He feels himself in a cold sweat.

'dang it… not again.' Once again jeane had been plagued by nightmares this happened ever since their mother left them and he couldn't shake why. Charlie says it aint his fault.

The boy heard the rushing of feet outside and counted in his head until the door was kicked down.

Right on cue the door smashed open to reveal charlie in demon form and vaggie with her spear.

'alright who dies today!' Charlie screams!

Vaggie scanned the area then looked at jeane sighed and began scanning the area round the room for threats.

Charlie once the initial terror was gone realized what happened.

'nightmares again.' She asked walking up to jeane and sitting next to him on the bed.

Jeane nods his head on the bed. 'what does it mean.'

'nothing jeane, it means nothing. You are just dealing with stress and worry about mom. Now here is what we are gonna do me and vaggie are gonna grab you and miss loviekins and take you to our bed.' Charlie said in a baby voice.

Jeane flushed at the mention of the wolf plush he kept as a sleeping companion. Before he could argue charlie lifted him in her arms and placed the plush into his arms and snuggled him like a mother.

'Come on vaggie hes safe now. It was just a bad dream nothing more.'

Jeane thought back to what the dream had to say.

Im not so sure about that. Every time he had this dream it felt more and more like something was coming to the service… a memory of something that he had forgotten.

The next day the entirety of hell was greeted to the annoucement of the next extermination being in 6 months and needless to say all the inhabitants of hell did not take it too well.

Jeane was having breakfast or more like to say he was being fed breakfast by vaggie.

'I can feed myself you know.' He grumbled his mouth full of toast and pacake.

'after the stunt you pulled yesterday your lucky your not on a leash. Running away to the angel embassy what were you thinking.' Vaggie groaned.

'I said I was sorry.'

'what if something happened to you and I wasnt there to protect you.'

'im not a baby anymore vaggie. I can take care of myself.'

angeldust laughed at himself. 'you say whilst being spoon fed your pancakes which had a smiley face made of bacon and eggs I might add.'

'screw you angeldust.'

'anytime anyplace baby.' The pornstar teased.

'enough of that. Jeane finish your breakfast. Angeldust stop trying to corrupt jeane.' Vaggie said feeding jeane.

Charlie meanwhile paced thinking to herself about what to do next. Ever since yesterday she has tried to think of a way to get the heaven high commission to listen to her plan. Yes she has her dad to set up the meeting but she would need something to show them the hotel would work.

Adam may have been weird but he had a point they wouldnt just take her word on it. She needed a success story and she wouldnt give them jeane.

She needed… a patron… not angeldust… unless he could make progress… but she needed a back up plan just in case. She needed more patrons but how would she get those.

'Might I make a suggestion madam charlotte.' Alastor asked manifesting beside charlie.

Charlie looked at him apprasingly. 'you may.'

'the inhabitants of hell will be desperate with all the looting and death. Surely there will be some looking for a chance to avoid final death even something as hopeless as your hotel… don't you agree.'

Charlies eyes widened. 'thats a great idea thanks alastor. Me and vaggie will leave immediately for the recruitment drive.'

Vaggie finishing feeding jeane looked at charlie confused. 'uh charlie. Are you sure. I don't think leaving jeane by himself with these sinners is a good idea.'

'oh vaggie it will just be for a couple hours and I promised jeane we would give him the chance to try and be a grown up… also if worse comes to worse alastor is here.' charlie showed alastor who had a shit eating grin on his face.

Both jeane and Vaggie glared at the radio demon then looked at each other only for the red deer demon to teleport behind him and wrap his hands on their shoulders.

'don't you worry your pretty little head vagatha about your precious little jeane I will guard him and the hotel with my very life.' Alastor said in an excited tone.

Vaggie slapped his hand away 'alright fine, but if anything happens to our hotel or jeane I will personally shove my spear all the way up your…'

Alastor laughed at the threat at patted vaggies head like a barking chihuahau.

Before vaggie could attack him the wall to the hotel was blown off with a huge blast.

'come on out radio demon. I the great sir pentious have come to do battle.' A snake like voice called from outside.

'Oh look a distraction, ill take care of that. Shall we jeane.' Alastor wrapped his arm around jeane then teleported outside.

Jeane could hear his two maternal caretakers screaming as he ported in front of the hotel where a huge gunship was flying overhead. It was like a steamwork war machine teeming with firearms and other weaponry.

It wasnt long before the rest of the group ran out to see what was going on. Both vaggie and charlie immediately caught jeane and ran to him.

'oh my precious baby, don't scare me like that again.' Charlie cried holding him close and kissing his forehead repeatedly leaving black lipstick marks.

Vaggie immediately began checking jeane and lifted his shirt. 'alastor you cant just grab jeane and take him where you want… especially not in front of a goddamn warmachine.'

Alastor chuckled once again. 'oh but it was funny besides its about time the boy learned how his people do battle.'

charlie immediately grabbed jeanes hand 'fuck no, jeane we are going inside where its safe.'

'charlie my dear, please trust me… no harm will come to jeane while I am here… I promise you that.' Alastor said with a smile.

Jeane could normally sense fakeness from alastors promises but this time he knew at least for the most part… alastor was telling the truth.

That chilled jeane more then he could ever hope to admit.

'oh I do trust you alastor but… I guess jeane can stay but I want him behind me.' Charlie said instantly taking jeane and pulling him to her and rubbing his head. 'if you get scared ill protect you.'

'excuse me but im here to fight you and destroy your precious hotel project radio demon.' The ships loud speaker shouted out.

Alastor had a bored smile on his face. 'and why would you want to do that.'

'do you not remember me.'

'not at all.' Alastor smirked.

'Weve fought dozens of times.' The voice sounded offended like a child who tried to act cool and was told he looked dumb.

'then you mustve been really bad at making an impression.' Alastor teased.

'ill show you who can make an impression when I blow you away with my megablaster and leave you and this tacky hotel as a black spot on the ground. Then I will be recognized by the even the mighty vees as their equals.' The big gun on the top of the gunship aimed at them began to charge up.

Nifty appearing on the back of jeane with an mischievous look on her face began to giggle 'ooh hes a bad boy, wait who are the vees.'

'no one important my dear now jeane watch as I take care of this cretin.'

'take care of this bambi.'

But before it could fire alastor snapped his fingers summoning his portal circle out of which shot a series of tentacles which grasped the warship and thrashed it.

The screams of the demon inside could be heard from over the loud speaker.

While one black tendril wrapped itself around the blimp like warship preventing escape two more throttled it making small explosions happen as it began to split in half.

As the warship was being destroyed alastor never took his eye off the destruction while talking to jeane.

'now what you want to do when fighing an enemy that is obviously weaker then you jeane is to enmasculate them. That way it makes other weaker enemies think twice before attempting such foolhardy ventures… set an example and the the peasents wont rebel or the old saying goes.'

Jeane looked up as the skyship began to fall apart and couldn't help but feel a small bit of pity emerge for this guy.

I know I shouldn't but for some reason I know this guy isnt a bad person… he just wants recognization and friends… thats kinda sad. Jeane looked around at the other denizens of the hotel who seemed more distracted by the display of the battle. Am I the only one who noticed this.

As if on que charlie moved forward.

'uh alastor, I think hes had enough.' She piped in a little too scared to upset the demon when hes having such fun.

'nah I think he has a few more hits in him.' Angeldust added wrapping his arm around jeane. 'whats eating you baby bean.'

'you know I hate that nickname… and this is exhaustive.' jeane showed a display of the serpent man begging for mercy as he clung for life on his ship to not fall in the portal.

'oh come off it. He attacked your sisters hotel.. whatever happens to him he deserves it.' Angel looked up at him wearing a smile jeane knew hid his real pain.

'angel you cant mean that. Hes just trying to impress those assholes you work for.' jeane started. 'you of all people should empathize what it means to want to not be somebody in this town and to be taken in by bad influences… especially the vees.'

Angel scoffed. 'whatever, wanna grab some drinks after maybe take a snort of some coke.' Angeldust offered but jeane looked on as serpentious fell on his face in front of the gathered group groaning as his ship was pulled down by the tentacles into the portal before it closed.

'thanks again for another forgettable battle.' Alastor jabbed.

'no thank you.' ser pentious muffled voice came from the dirt as he sprung up and attacked with his tail latching onto alastors coat tail 'for letting your guard down.'

a tear of the coat was it all it took for jeane to sense a surge of strange power. The boy could see it know a black apple in alastors heart… as the sound of a braying deer monster called and he transformed and before he knew what happened the serpent was swatted away with one tentacle slap.

Jeane watched as alastor changed back the black apple in his heart recind and the radio demon turning to jeane who looked down and saw the red apple in his heart shift.

Alastor had a huge toothy grin as he lifted a finger to his mouth as if to silence jeane. Then immediately returned to his happy go lucky smile. 'well now that is done I say me and jeane are due a trip into town.'

Alastor instantly walked up to jeane and reached out his hand. 'coming along dear boy weve a tailor to see.'

Vaggie stepped between the pair and defensive held her arm over jeane 'you think were just gonna let you take jeane out into that cesspool of a city… with you… without one of us to supervise.'

alastor had a smirk. 'why not you were gonna leave him with me without your supervision already.'

'yeah in the hotel where its safe.'

'you know… its coddling like that which made him run away…' Alastor smugly said.

Vaggies eyes widened. 'what did you say.'

'if you want him to run away again then be my guest and coddle away… but next time he might not come back… and with the angels obviously having an interest in him… ooh I perish the thought of him alone during the extermination without you and charlie to protect him.'

Vaggie lowered her arm. 'be back in an hour or I will come looking for you.'

'with bells on our toes and a song in our heart.' Alastor pushed back vaggie then reached for jeane extending his hand out to him.

'now jeane stay close to alastor, don't talk with strangers, and don't do any drugs or alchohol.' charlie instructed rubbing his head kissing his forehead 'remember, I love you more then anything.'

Jeane smiled then looked at alastor as his hand was still extended.

The boy reached out and followed close behind the radio demon. The pair walked in a silence for a few minutes before alastor broke it with an eerie revelation.

'so you saw my apple did you?' he asked making jeane stop in his tracks. 'oh don't take it as a surprise… im just happy to meet another with such power.'

'you know what the apple in my chest means.' Jeane asked reaching into his chest.

'Indeed I do my dear boy… would you like me to explain.'

'Yes!… I mean… please… tell me.' Jeane sounded desperate but he longed to know understand what these strange feelings were and what they had to do with his dream.

'well to do to that first let me explain to you the idea of knowledge.' alastor walked forward tapping his cane on the cobbled streets of the city street.

'knowledge alastor?'

'yes jeane knowledge… it is power after all.' Alastor then reached toward jeane and looked him in the eyes as he had partial turmed into his his serious demon form. 'and we live in a world that bows only to power.'

'anywho, onto the lesson. The apple as you so uncouthly call is a rare gift that only a select few possess. Consider it a hold over from the good old days when humanity still wandered the garden and demons didn't exist.'

'you mean… the garden of the eden.'

'exactly! But don't interrupt.' Alastor instructed tapping jeanes head with his cane as he smiled.

'the apple inside you is currently like a seed wanting, longing for knowledge and experience to grow into what it is meant to be. The more you feed it the more powerful you will become.' Alastor continued explained as they crossed into a part of town that looked different from the modern take on hell. Jeane noticed a sign that read cannibal town.

The boy gulped as he felt eyes on him.

Alastor meanwhile wrapped his arm around the boy. 'don't show fear my dear boy. They can smell it on you.'

'my sister told me to never go to the cannibal town… she said theyd eat me.' Jeane was never more terrified then he was right now.

'oh were not all bad, we actually look after our own as long as you obey the rules and fit a certain look of our style. Speaking of which we should get you a nice suit something that makes you look bow brummely.' Alastor spoke again in hi spirits.

Jeane could feel the hungry eyes on him turn as alastor lead him down the street. Longing to take his mind off the impending danger and wanting to learn more about the apple inside him jeane decided to pry for more information.

'alastor where did the apple come from.' Jeane asked.

'you were born with it… chosen to possess it. Lucky you.'

'but why?'

'who knows. The apple chooses who it wants. Your the fourth person to possess the apples blessing ive met besides myself.' Alastor said with a smile.

'where are they now.'

'no clue, off feeding their apples id assume its quite a powerful thing if you feed it.' Alastor and jeane turned down the street to see a line at the tailor and alastor and frowned. 'well have to come back another time… don't want too many questions… hows about lunch… I know a nice cajun place near here and don't worry they have non cannibal options for you… though trying demon flesh would certainly help your apples growth through unique experiences.'

'you said that the apple will transform once it gets powerful enough. What will it transform into.'

alastor had a big smile. 'well that is quite an interesting answer… well it will transform into a second soul or at least thats what it did for me. What it would do for you who knows. The apple transforms into a source of near limitless power and strength.'

Alastor and jeane exited the cannibal town and walked down the street as jeane could see his apple and alastors out of their chest.

'the more you feed it the more power it will give you. Jeane my boy you have such a great potential to become a great demon like your father… all you have to do is let me help you.' Alastor had a wicked smile.

'Help me how.' Alastor then opened a gate and smiled. 'I told you I knew a good cajun place… what better place then my home of louisanna namely new orleans.'

Jeane took a step back. 'But we cant go to earth, were demons… if the angels find out… if my sister finds out...'

Alastor hums. 'sounds like someone wants to be babied for their whole life.'

Jeane red faced stormed toward the portal. 'Says you.'

The pair enter the portal and come out in human form. Jeanes human form is a light skinned boy with pure black hair blue eyes and black and white suit.

Alastor is dressed in all red vest, pinstripe pants, white longsleeve ruffle shirt, and had a short flat brown hair.

'well we came through ok.' Alastors human voice came out without the radio static.

'Alastor… your talking normal.' Jeane sounded surprised.

'Yes well, that is a side effect of the spell my dear boy… we need to blend in to make sure the humans don't catch now… now come along… you have a lot to see.'

Jeane followed close behind mesmerized by the beautiful blue sky and golden sun. The green plants and murky swamp water.

'Alastor its beautiful.'

'Why thank you. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.' alastor corrected.

Jeane amazed looked around at the beautiful city bustling with excitement. 'what else is there.'

'well im glad you asked.'

youve got a lot to see by family guy

alastor leads jeane by the hand running him down the city street of the french ward of new orleans: the 60s brought the hippie breed

alastor then did a twirl with jeane using bit of his magic forcing the citizens of the ward to join in an elaborate dance: and decades later things have changed, indeed

a couple of the citizens who seemed to be tourists and dressed in stoner clothing walkd up with bags full of green stuff and papers: we lost the values but we kept the weed youve got a lot to see.

The stoners handed jeane a blunt and as he was about smoke it alastor snatched it: don't smoke that it kills ambition.

Alastor then grabbed the boys hand a jumped with him into a portal teleporting him to hollywood: the regan years have laid the frame.

Jeane watched with a smile on his face as he saw hundreds of beautiful people doing press release and one of them looked like ronald reagan: for movie stars to play the white house game

suddenly a big limo drove down and the crowd went wild: were not too far from electing donald trump again.

Out of the limo came the biggest most orange man jeane had ever seen: youve got a lot to see

Jeane was appalled: is that supposed to be mammon in disguise.

Alastor: ha, good one, no, but im sure mammon and him would get along swimmingly if they ever met.

Alastor then pushed jeane into a recently summoned portal and the pair free falled over a big city in the desert: the town of vegas has a different face

before the pair could hit the ground another portal opened and the pair fell through fell into the seats of a near empty casino stage show where some dancers were performing: its a family place with stuff to do.

Another portal this one one ascending above the two and allowing them to teleport to an alleyway: in the 50s men could score with the seediest whores and now his children can too

the portal opened once again and the pair found themselves on an old dirt road near a filthy looking gas station: you heard from the demons mouth.

Jeane watched as a pickup truck loaded with people dressed in suspenders and jeans: earth has changed, that is except the south, and youll agree.

The portal once again swept them this time into a fortune tellers office with jeane in the clients seat and alastors in the tellers seat: yes my dear demon friend, who knows how it all will end.

Alastor revealed three cards them showing an horde of angels descending, the second a girl crying on an island, and the third a trio of naked woman dancing around an apple tree with a young boy growing out of it: but youve got a helluva lot to see

the portal opened to underneath them sucking them into a clinic to reveal a guy who was bald and sad: the baldness gene is a cause for dread…

the man sighs but alastor wraps his arm around him: but thats a fear you can put to bed

the doctor calls the man and a minute later and he comes out with a smill bit of hair as alastor whispers to jeane: theyll shave your ass and put it on your head

alastor then grabbed jeane and ran out the clinic then jumped into a portal: youve got a lot to see:

the pair are travel through the portal as they watch people talk through the radio waves: those flashy cellphones make people mumble gee whiz look how important he is his life must rule.

The portal opens and the pair are in a viewing area for a surgery dressed as med students with jeane having a notebook while alastor has popcorn: he got a tumor but on his surgery the doctor would see it and say hey you must be really cool.

Alastor then grabbed jeanes arm falling back in their chairs into the portal only to fall back into the radio wave area where different radio wave people talked to him: theres lots of things you might have missed

the first was an old school news reporter: like houstons space shuttle miss

the second was a woman news reporter: or the hindenburg where hundreds died

the third was a young reporter: those awesome world war 2 cartoons

the fourth was the old school news reporter: apollo 13 on the moon

the fifth was a little girl: apollo 13 is that the new rocky movie

the entire radio waves laughed as jeane and the radio demon teleported out to see themselves outsides the fence of a prison yard watching the prisoners do their yard free time: so lets go to the usa…

Jeane felt his heart seize as he saw these men in a similar position to him: theyll treat you right unless your black, or gay, or from the middle east.

Jeane grasped the fenced with hesitation in his heart while alastor placed his hand on his shoulder: but you can forgive the world and its flaws.

Alastor then pulled jeane away and lead the boy to the portal: and follow me there because.

The portal shut as they were lead to a restaurant called the big beautiful gator: youve got a lot to see.

Alastor and jeane entered the restaurant and took a seat.

The waitress walked up to jeane and asked them their order.

'can I start you boys off with some drinks.'

'long island ice tea for me… cola for the boy… and go ahead give us some good old fashion gumbo to start.'

When the waitress left jeane felt something stir in his heart the apple had grown ever so slightly and the boy noticed that alastor had a big smile.

'id say todays outting was a rapid success… when were done eating well have to rush to the tailors and ill have to teleport us home or else vagatha and your sister will have a hissy fit.' Alastor said with a smile.

'What is your end game alastor.' Jeane asked.

'Whatever do you mean?' The radio demon looked at the back of his hand uninterested.

'I mean, you come out of nowhere, make all my sisters dreams come true… and the start taking an interest in me… what do you want.'

'simple… I want entertainment and your family is the greatest source of that in all of heaven and earth.' Alastor said and jeanes apple told him it was a lie.

Jeane decided not to press him.

'So jeane, when do you plan to start dating.'

Jeane coughed uncontrollably 'what the hell! Why would you ask that?'

'becauase of the experience boy. Think about it. Todays outting was to get the ball rolling and feed your apple a tasting menu of new experiences but what it really wants is deep and personal experiences and what betters ones then firsts.'

'firsts?'

'first kiss, first love, first sexual conqeust… first kill.' Alastor laughed to himself. 'I remember all of mine and I remember how my power grew with each of them.'

Jeanes mouth was agape… suddenly a ringing was heard from somewhere in the restaurant.

A few minutes later a server came out to jeane and alastors table and whispered in the red vested mans ear. Alastor had a big smile.

'jeane finish your food quickly ill be right back.' Alastor said getting up, leaving a money clip, and walking toward the bathroom.

Jeane sat the table when the waitress came with their drinks and food and jeane pointed to the money clip. Thanked him and walked off. The boy tasted the gumbo and was surprised by how good it was and he loved every bite.

He drank the cola and thought it tasted so much better then what they had in hell.

As soon as jeane was done alastor came back in his vest and sat down. He smiled at the satisfied looking jeane.

'good meal was it.' he asked with a smile.

'yeah, you grew up with food like this.' Jeane asked letting out a belch.

Alastor laughed. 'yes indeedy… im glad you liked it… but we must be getting you home.'

alastor and jeane walked outside the restaurant and walked down the street until they werent being watched and alastor used his portal to teleport them just outside the hotel.

Jeane noticed that the lights in all the city were out except for the hotel which was on its own power grid thanks to alastor.

'what happened.'

'me.' Alastor smiled.

'where did you go…' Jeane asked raising an eyebrow.

'oh just a rival wanting to cause problems for me… so I did some for him.' Alastor said with that eerie smile.

The pair walked up the road to the hotel only for jeane to immediately get struck by a tight hug by charlie which was immediately followed by a series of black lipstick kisses on his cheek and forehead.

'jeane! I missed you so much. Did you miss me…' she cooed.

Vaggie immediately walked up to jeane and began checking him with a smile. She then kissed his forehead.

The pair then flared their nostrils smelling jeane.

'jeane honey, you smell different.' Charlie took in a few sniffs with a curious look.

Vaggie meanwhile glared at alastor she readied her spear.

'where did you take my baby!' Vaggie screamed pointing it at alastors throat.

Alastor only smiled. 'I took him on a little trip to the tailor.'

'bullshit! He stinks of the human realm. Do you know how many laws that breaks for you two to be out there.'

Alastor waved his hands then showed charlie a chest. 'we got you a present charlie… we promise we didn't go anywhere unneccessary.'

'oh a present. What did you get me jeane.' she replied teasing. She opened the chest and her eyes went wide with a smile. 'oh pretty costumes… are these for thos little plays I was writing.'

'yes indeed the little man saw them and insisted we get them.' Alastor patted jeanes back with a smile and charlie instantly rushed him giving him another hug.

'your such a sweetheart I love you little bro…' charlie then lifted jeane and took him with him toward the chest showing him the costumes.

'oh my gosh, look at this darling little sailor suit… you would look so cute in this… please let me put you in this… pretty please.' Charlie showed a white and black sailor suit with a red cap.

Jeane winced at it and froze.

Before any of them could continue a new arrival came.

Clearing his throat they all saw ser pentius hat in hand.

'hello there.'

Vaggie instantly attacked him with a punch. She twirled her spear at his throat.

'wait, please wait.'

'what do you want?' Vaggie growled.

Charlie meanwhile grabbed jeane and pulled him close to her chest. 'don't worry jeane me and vaggie wont let the mean snake man hurt you.' she rubbed his back and began cooing to him like he was a baby.

'I didn't come to fight.' sir pentious picks himself up and keeps his hat in his hand.

'then why are you here.' vaggie asked not lowering her spear.

'I heard you help sinners who want to do better.' sir pentious said with a frown.

'you heard correct!' charlie said slightly releasing jeane pulling him by the air. 'welcome to our house of restoration… im charlie and this little angel is my precious treasure of a little sibling jeane.'

Jeane reached out his hand for sir pentious and the snake took it. Jeane felt sir pentious dishonesty and could tell he was lying but couldn't tell why… but he also felt something else a longing to be accepted… to be loved.

Jeane felt bad for him.

'are you fucking nuts!' Angeldust yelled crossing his four arms in the doorway. 'just a few hours ago he was trying to kill us now you want to invite him in.'

'angel this place is a place for second chances and who deserves more then this slimy scaly special little man.' Charlie smiled as she held both jeane and sir pentious arms and lead them into the house.

The group are all sitting in a circle waiting on charlie as she was busy talking with alastor about something.

Jeane and angel dust both watched as sir pentious waited on them to start conversation.

'so this guy is plotting something right jeane.' angel dust asked pointing to the snake.

jeane leaned in and whispered 'yeah but until we can find out what lets try to play nice.'

'I don't like playing nice with dickheads who try and kill me… but I do have experience with it.' Angel dust smirked.

'what about this economy chums.' The snake demon asked with a smile.

Both jeane and angeldust looked at each other with a smirk.

Meanwhile nifty is sneaking up on him and immediately rips a scale off him making the snake scream.

'yeah I got the bad ones scale for my collection.' Nifty exclaimed.

'nifty.' Jeane said disappointed what have I said about taking things from people.

Nifty immediately looked sad 'im sorry.' She said in a baby voice.

Jeane didn't have in him to be mad at nifty. He and her didn't interact much but he felt a protectiveness over her like his very own little sibling… he tried to be a better nurturer and defender then charlie but he knew the weight of worry that came with trying to keep nifty safe.

'its ok nift… come here and give me a hug.' Jeane opened his arms and she ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him with a smile.

Husk meanwhile drank to himself. 'so uh, let me ask you something jeane… did alastor really take you up to earth.'

Jeane nodded his head. 'Yeah.'

'strange, he doesn't usually take others with him there.'

'is it dangerous.'

'dangerous! Picking a fight with the seven deadly sins and all the elders in heaven would be better for your health. First of all the power to teleport from hell to earth Is high demon magic not meant for sinners and second it is forbidden for all but a select few agents of either side to go to earth so any intrusions can lead to a fucking war before humanity is ready for the rapture.' Husk explained his voice like a preacher speaking brimstone and punishments.

'oh thats bad.' Jeane remarks looking forward scared. Then a realization hit him. 'wait am I gonna get executed by the angels now!'

'nah, if they wanted you captured they would have come for you by now. More then likely alastor used protection from scrying and that shit.' Husk then took a long draw from the bottle gripping the neck tightly.

Charlie then came down with a smile on her face and vaggie behind her. Vaggie immediately sat beside jeane and licked her finger.

'here jeane you got some dirt on your face.' She then rubbed his face with her finger making the dirt go away.

'vaggie thats gross. Stop it.' Jeane tried to grab her arm but vaggie grabbed his hand and continued rubbing and fretted.

'let me get it… you look sloppy.' vaggie finished then noticed jeanes clothing and frowned.

'what happened to the sailor suit charlie wanted you to wear.' she asked.

'I uh, didn't think it would fit me.' Jeane said nervous.

'Uh huh, well see about that after the game.'

'game?' everyone asked raising an eyebrow.

'well with our new arrival. I think it would be best if we got to know each other and this was me and jeanes favorite game when we were a kid.' charlie said as she looked at jeane with a smile.

Jeane couldn't help but smile at the memories of when they would all do this game as a family.

'everyone repeat after me.' charlie said as she began to clap her hands.

'my name is charlie.' she said clapping her hands three times then leaning into vaggie and jeane

'I like to sing' she claps three times giving them both a kiss on the cheek.

'and when we get to know each other its the greatest thing!' she exclaimed clapping three more times pointing to jeane.

Jeane sighed with a smile looking around. 'my name is jeane.' he clapped three times.

'I like to read.' he clapped three times looking at vaggie and his sister as they nodded approvingly.

'when my sister is happy I know I can succeed.' He claps three more times getting a head pat by vaggie.

The three then looked at sir pentious with a smile.

'my name is sir pentious.' he clapped slowly.

'I like to build.' he claps again.

'and despite my stupid egg bois id say im very skilled.' he claps again.

The rest all look at angel who is on his phone. Jeane immediately senses a feeling of agression and knows something is up.

'this is stupid.' he says.

Charlie gets up and in an exaggerrated voice tries to get angel play.

'this is not stupid.' she says clapping once.

'its just a game.' her voice going full kermit muppet style.

'the rest of us did now you do the same.' She did a full aeorbatic routine making jeane smile.

'im too sober for this.' Angel replied and jeane sensed a dark prescence in that phone making his heart sink.

'well get used to it and learn how to play this will be your whole day.'vaggie said smirking at the end the clapping.

Jeane couldn't help but look at angel and sense his feeling of lonileness but also the sense of accomplishment In sir pentious.

Jeane tried to dive deeper into the serpents emotions but then realized that he also sensed a tinge of guilt.

'alright next activity… and sir pentious I have to say you are a great resident in our hotel.' Charlie said with a smile and happy clap on the back.

Guilt and jealously flooded jeanes senses from pentious and angel dust respectively making the boy feel terrible for them.

'now we are gonna do a play I wrote… now everyone get in the costumes provided by alastor and jeane.' charlie said smiling while vaggie had an evil look in her eye.

'and jeane I have your costume right here. Come here young mister.' Jeane gulped as vaggie called him over by her finger.

Immediately jeanes bad feelings were replaced with embarrassment as he was forced into the sailor suit that charlie and vaggie wanted for him and sir pentious was also in one this being blue and white with a black and gold cape.

'I hate this so much.' jeane replied as he looked at sir pentious who wore a big smile.

'oh come on, we look snazzy, I wore this when I was a boy.' Sir pentious said.

'I forget your from victorian england what was that like.' Jeane asked.

'It was great except for the cross dressers, and the serial killers, and the poor.' sir pentious replied with a smile.

'here are the lollipops.' Charlie said with a big sing song gesture giving sir pentious his.

She then raised jeane to his and smiled. 'this reminds me of when you were little and id hold your lollipop while you bit into it with your chompers… you were so cute.'

'charlie… not in front of everyone.' Jeane was embarrassed by the smirking husk and nifty.

'oh let them watch… your my precious little jeane bean and I love you.' She kissed his cheek handing him his lollipop.

Angel then comes out in a old noir like costume and a perma scowl.

'jeane your sister is seriously insane.' he said with a fowl snarl.

'tell me about it.' jeane and angel then looked at each other and laughed.

'you look like you watch horny teens have sex.' Jeane laughed.

'you look like you get molested by catholic clones.' angeldust laughed back.

The pair smiled.

'hey guys focus on the script.'

Angel dust and jeane groans. Might as well get this over with.

Angel lifts the script and reads of it. 'I am a bad man who never got enough hugs, where is a pair of innocent kids I can sell cracks too… who wrote this!' angel dust slap the script.

'its great write keep going.' charlie dust instructed while vaggie has a video camera recording. 'focus on jeane, isnt he cute… mom said he would make such a great little actor.' she whispered.

'got you babe… smile for the camera jeane.' Vaggie said with a smile.

'hey you!'

'who us!' Sir pentious and jeane said, the serpent in an exgerregated excited tone and the other in a disgusted tone.

'yeah you… hows about I sell you some… devils dandruff what the fuck… isnt your dad the devil… like… what the hell…' angel dust mumbled.

'nuh uh, none for us, we have to go home and study.' sir pentious said in his overacting tone while jeane just rubbed his face.

'come on kid, it will make you cool… like me… the crack head.' Angel was done and felt like his soul died.

'no way, the only right thing is to say no to drugs… now if you don't mind im gonna go home and not have sex until marriage.' Sir pentious yelled victorious then tapped jeane.

Jeane froze at his line and looked at charlie who mouthed to him.

'thats your line.' she had a big smile and he knew she would cry if he didn't say it.

'and im going home to listen to my sister and her awesome girlfriend as they know what is best for me… oh god damn it.' Jeane rubbed his face.

Charlie shot up and clapped her hand and ran to jeane and sir pentious wrapping them in a hug.

'bravo, good job… your my precious sweet boy jeane and sir pentious youll be redeemed in no time. I promise you that.' charlie said with a smile.

Vaggie immediately waved the camera in front of jeanes face. 'and I got it all on camera '

'if you love me youll delete that.'

Charlie instantly took the camera and held it away from jeane 'no! I want to make copies for when mom comes back.'

'great. Looks like you got some new black mail right angel.' Jeane looked around and noticed angel retreating to his room.

The boy followed close behind him.

Once jeane got to the door he stopped for a moment feeling angels guilt, jealousy, and despair… as he was about to walk away he sensed a new prescence a chain of ownership and domination… the boy felt terrible as he ran to the door and knocked.

'who is it.' Angel asked his voice weak.

'its me.' Jeane said, knocking again.

'what do you want.'

'are you doing ok.'

'im fine! Just great.' He said not sounding fine.

'angel… your my friend… I know when your upset… can I come in.' Jeane asked desperate.

Jeane sensed angels need to be heard and then heard him say 'bring me some angeldust.'

Jeane ran to one of angels stashes and then brought him some. The boy handed him his stash and angel instantly snorted it all… it being almost 10 pounds worth.

'woo fuck yeah thats good.' He shouted high on life and angeldust.

'I wish you would stop doing drugs.' Jeane said under his breath.

'whatd you say.'

'angel that stuff isnt good for you… its how val is controlling you… one of the ways.' Jeane said desperate.

'who asked you huh! Your just charlies little baby brother! What do you know you cant even leave your room without charlies permission so why should I listen to a useless baby like you.' Angeldust shouted.

Jeane was taken aback and felt the tears coming.

Angel dust showed the regret on his face. 'Jeane.'

Jeane ran out angels room and rushed to his room slamming the door. The boy then hid under his covers and cried softly… because he knew deep down… angel was right… he wasnt a hero or a saviour he couldn't help angel.

He was like that for a few hours until a knock came on the door.

The boy didn't answer not wanting to see anyone.

'Jeane, im coming in.' Charlie said. Unlocking the door and walking in. Jeane turned his back to her and covered himself up.

Charlie sat down next to jeane and set something down.

'angeldust told me what happened today.' She said laying down with him and wrapping him up in a cuddle as she rubbed his tummy like she used to when he was little and upset.

'i-i just wanted to help him.' Jeane said, his eyes red and puffy from crying.

'I know jeane, but you cant force change, you have to be patient and caring. I know you care for angeldust but you have to let him make his own choices.'

Charlies words made him feel better when he turned to her and snuggled up to her and cuddled up.

'thanks charlie… I needed that.'

'I know… I always know what you need… thats why your my special little guy… and im your keeper… mom said so.'

'charlie… do you think mom hates us…' Jeane asked looking up at his room.

'Jeane, honey no… why would you think that.'

'shes been gone for seven years and she left without us… do you think its because of me.'

'no jeane… its not your fault… you know if I was to be so bold I would say you were moms favorite.'

'really?' Jeane asked.

'Oh yeah, when you were a baby, she would hold you for hours and never let you out of her sight… feed you, change you, play with you… the only other person shed let near you was well ,me and even then only when she had a concert or something.'

Jeane looked up at the stars and smiled. 'I miss her so much… but you know… I don't miss her as much when your here.'

Charlie smiled at that kissed his forehead. 'Get some rest jeane… tommorrow we are having pancakes for breakfast.'

Jeane smiled as he cuddled up in the blanket only for the sound of a scuffle to wake him up moments later.

The boy leapt up and still groggy. Made his way to investigate. Noticing a light in the study he snuck toward it.

In it he saw angel and sir pentious fighting. Jeane noticed emotions of sir pentious feeling fear and anger while angel felt anger and betrayal.

The boy ran up and split them apart.

'Stop this!'

'This guy is a fucking traitor.'

'What!' Both charlie and vaggie asked appearing in the doorway almost immediately.

Sir pentious was about to deny it when jeane grabbed a video camera and looked at it and frowned.

'Sir pentious you idiot.' Jeane told him.

The serpent ran away and made a call on his watch but almost immediately he was reprimanded making him skulk.

He turned to the angry vaggie and angeldust while charlie held jeane close to her.

'alright… please make It quick… not like I deserve it.' the serpent sinner laid down and cuddled up and felt bad.

Jeane meanwhile stepped between them and said. 'stop.'

'Jeane get out of the way… he is a threat to the hotel.'

'Look at him… hes no threat… sir pentious… why did you spy on us.'

'Because the vees said they would help me become an overlord.'

'and why do you want to be an overlord.'

'because I want to be powerful.'

'and what do you hope to gain with that power.'

Sir pentious was about to answer but couldn't and jeane felt something in his heart a longing for friendship.

'You don't want power sir pentious.'

'Of course I do.'

'No you want acceptance and friendship and love.'

Sir pentious eyes widen. 'How do you know that.'

Jeane looked at angel. 'because I have a friend who is just like you.'

Angel flipped the snake off. 'Dont compare me to him.'

'Sir pentious… I don't want you to die… so please… apologize and let us help you get to heaven.'

'Youd really try and redeem me.' The serpent had watery eyes.

'Of course you goof… its what my sister built this place for.' Jeane said with a smile.

Sir pentious wrapped jeane up in a hug with his tail and hands making vaggie want to spear him but charlies eyes were full of surprise.

After the hug jeane walked up to angel who looked sad 'about what I said today.'

'Ive already forgiven you angel… still friends.'

Angel smiled and gave jeane a fist bump. 'with benefits?'

'No benefits.' Jeane returned the fist bump.

Angel dust shrugged 'your loss.'

both jeane and angeldust walked off with sir pentious following close behind while charlie and vaggie were amazed.

'He defused the situation so masterfully.'

'Yeah, I guess our little jeane bean is growing up.'

Charlie looked concerned 'yeah, I guess so.'

Charlies mind wandered to seven years ago the first time she and jeane were out on their own and someone attacked them… she remembered what she was prepared to do… until the demon called in his friends… she remembered they were gonna hurt jeane… then… jeane put each of them in the hospital with missing limbs and trauma that made most of them invalids.

Charlie couldn't let that happen to jeane again… her father warned her that If the seal he put on jeanes power was broken it could lead to heaven itself going to war to take him from them… and she would not let that happen,

Charlie hated to admit it… but she had to tighten the leash. She hated having to be strict and keep jeane locked up in his room but she couldn't risk that monstrous power coming out and harming her people and having him be taken away by angels… she will be her brothers keeper.

Chapter Text

''

Jeane Once again dreamed of the garden this time it was a green and lush. Filled with beautiful plants.

He hovered above the ground of the garden as he floated through. He heard the giggling of a girl as she was chased by a man.

The boy saw a pair of what he thought were humans and he recognized one as his own mother.

'mom!' Jeane yelled but felt a tendril pull him back.

The boy looked up at a tree filled with a bunch of red apples… perfectly red with black stems. The boy watched the tree as it was the biggest in all the garden.

'I remember… your the tree of knowledge.'

'release me.' It said in a hushed voice.

'what!'

the tree grew eyes all slitted and demonic with tendrils instead of branches and the apples became rotted with mouths filled with jagged teeth.

'release me jeane!'

The boy awoke with a start and could feel someone pull him back to bed. He looked and saw vaggie holding his head and pulling him close to her.

'its too early kiddo… go back to sleep.' She said, kissing his forehead.

'What are you doing in my bed.' Jeane asked trying to pull away but vaggies grip was like a vice.

'because charlie has been worried about you and wants me to stay close to you… now go to sleep… we have a lot to do tommorrow… night night.' She said smiling.

Jeane rolled his eyes and cuddled up to vaggie and rubbed his head and her shoulders as vaggie began crying holding him close and rubbing his head.

'Jeane, would you love someone even if they were a bad person.' Vaggie said through her tears.

Jeane could fell something deep inside vaggie a flash of guilt that budded up every now and then. Jeane never had the courage to press her on it but jeane decided now was the time to support not confront.

'I would love anyone who has done bad things as long as they are trying to do better… charlie would too.'

'You think so.' She asked holding jeane close.

'Of course, she started a whole hotel around it… I love you vaggie and no matter what you did in the past that wont change.'

'You mean it.'

'Hey who saved me from those kidnappers when I wandered off in lulu world.'

'I did.'

'who stood by my bedside when I was sick and charlie had to go all the way to sloth and wait for hours to get me medicine.'

'I did.'

'and who makes it a habit to check me for ticks, fleas, and every type of vermin that could leech off me… your a good person vaggie and though I sometimes see it as excessive im glad I have you as my protector.'

Jeane cuddled up to vaggie and yawned. 'Goodnight… vaggie.' Kissing her cheek.

'Goodnight my precious little angel.' Vaggie said, smacking her lips as she fell asleep and jeane did so as well in her arms.

The next day the group were all working to make sir pentious feel welcome as he had been at the hotel for a week and had been doing reasonable well… well well enough for someone as paranoid and egotisical as the serpent demon is.

Jeane was helping charlie put up the banner when he noticed sir pentious walk in with his egg minions hauling in a giant cannon like laser.

Jeane looked at vaggie who immediately intercepted jeane and glared at the snake.

'what the fuck is this.' She growled.

'this… is the the flesh flayer 9000!' He delcared in an exeggerrated exclaimation.

Vaggie rubbed the bridge of her nose and began speaking spanish to herself. 'why is it in here.'

'because I need it to destroy the other residents.'

Jeane raised and eyebrow. 'what did they do this time.'

'they are being too nice and that must mean they are planning my demise… I must get them first.' The snake said as if that made sense showing the many residents doing their thing.

Vaggie pushed sir pentious back. 'they arent planning anything against you. They are being nice because they want you to feel welcome.'

Vaggie showed sir pentiouslooked around at the hotel residents and frowned.

Husk chugging a beer and flipping them off when they looked at him.

Angel dust flipping them off with all four hands and a smirk.

Nifty cackling like a mad woman with a sowing needle in her hand.

'Yeah I don't buy it.'

'ahem… order for a sir pentious.' a pair of women said wheeling in a dolly full of boxes with the carmine corporation logo on the side.

'ill sign for that. My weapons are here.' Sir pentious sounded so happy as he signed the paper and pulled the dolly.

The two demon girls nodded their heads. 'enjoy your carmine purchase.'

'carmine!? As in carmilla carmine? Your buying more weapons!' Vaggie exclaimed her hair going frizzy.

'yeah, she is the best weapons developer in the whole city… why wouldnt I.'

Jeane put his hand on sir pentious shoulder. 'pen I tell you this as someone concerned for your safety… stop digging.'

'whatever do you mean.' Sir pentious then noticed vaggie getting mad and then ripping from his hand the dolly and pulling it away. 'hey I need those for my weapons fo mass destruction.'

'pentious you don't need weapons, the guests are just being nice to you. Please, trust us.' Charlie asked placing her hand on the opposite shoulder.

'Well I don't.' He said looking at his weapons.

Charlie then had a bright idea. 'well that can be todays excerise.'

'no hotel stuff until we set up some ground rules.' Vaggie said taking the crate full of parts. 'first off no more weapons in the hotel your not here to hurt people, your hear to heal your soul… second, no more of these egg minion guys.'

Vaggie pointed to the eggs.

Sir pentious gasped and grabbed them protectively.

'Not my eggy bois they do my evil bidding for me.' Sir pentious looked sad.

Suddenly they were fighting over a tube item which shot out and blasted a hole in the roof.

'what did I just say. What did I just say.' Vaggie pointed.

'Vaggie… come on… cant we let him keep the egg guys… they arent really a threat.' Jeane whispered.

'Jeane. Let me handle this.' Vaggie raised her hand to jeane.

Sir pentious looked sad and then nodded his head. 'okay eggies I cant keep you anymore. So you have to go.'

'okay boss.' they all said in an annoying voice.

Vaggie lead them away while sir pentious just looked sad.

Jeane looked at him and felt the overwhelming sadness in his heart. The boy wrapped the demon in a hug. 'im sorry… but im sure vaggie will make sure they find a good home.'

'I hope they find an evil mastermind who treats them well.'

'they will… pen… im sure they will.' Jeane held him close.

Charlie meanwhile smiled at that.

'Jeane, has a friend… thats cute. Picture time.' Charlie took a picture. 'that ones going in the scrap book.'

Jeane and sir pentious looked at each other with a smile. 'thanks for the support jeane.'

While vaggie was gone jeane walked up to nifty who was cleaning up. 'here nift let me help you with that.'

Niftys big eye widened as she smiled. 'you wanna help me.' she then crawled up to him with an intense look in her eye. 'your mine now!'

Jeane froze when charlie grabbed her with a smile. 'nifty, what did I tell you about staking a claim on people…' Charlies form partial turned full demon. 'especially my little brother.'

Nifty looked like a scolded child. 'im sorry.'

Charlie immediately turned sweet and gave her a snuggle. 'its ok. Don't do it again.'

Jeane helped nifty cleaned and finished with a start.

The boy then noticed husk at the bar downing a bottle.

'why do you drink so much.'

'because it helps me deal with all these fuckers bullshit.' Husk replied honestly.

'Oh, well if you ever need to talk… im willing to listen.' Jeane said.

'oh yeah what exactly can you do for me kid. Ive had pubic hair with more wisdom then you… face it your too sheltered by that coddling sister of yours to be any help to me.'

'oh whiskers, don't be mean to the kid… hes just trying to help… now about that wise pubic hair.' Angel said seductively.

Husk groaned turned away from angel.

Angel meanwhile looked at jeane.

'You doing ok kid.'

'Yeah but hes right. Even with the hour by myself. I still want to do more… I just wish charlie would trust me to be out in the world without worrying so much about me.' Jeane said.

'Look jeane, I get where your coming from. Being coddled sucks but I also know where charlie is coming from… you see I have a baby sister too me and my older brother would do anything to protect her. So I can see how charlie would try and do what she can to protect you since your in hell and all.'

'wow angel, thats the first time weve talked and youve actually opened up to me… thank you.' Jeane was surprised.

'Yeah well, don't go spreading it around. I cant have my already sinking reputation going further into the toilet by saying im going soft.' He said with the same bold bravado but jeane could tell through his strange empathy ability that this was a front.

Jeane had to admit he had always the ability to read emotions but recently it had gotten stronger. He could read exact emotions and even know when someone was hiding their true motives.

The boy smiled at his friend angel. 'your secrets safe with me.'

Angel nodded at him and then reached across the bar grabbing too beer bottles and offering jeane one.

The boy refused and angel shrugged shotgunning both.

After came down charlie had alastor summon a stage before he left with the eggs. Jeane wondered what he was doing and where he was going.

The group waited around the stage as charlie and vaggie stood at either side of it.

'whats with the stage. If you think im performing for you fucks… you got another thing coming.' Huks exclaimed.

'I mean If you want a public performance I demand cash up front and I know that one cant afford me.' Angel dust replied pointing to sir pentious who balked in repulsion.

'dream on whore bug.' the snake said.

Jeane looked on and frowned not liking the desperation that hung in the air.

'alright everyone we are gonna do something special today… ready vaggie…'

Both charlie and vaggie jumped but vaggie was off time so she kinda was off beat for the whole time.

'trust excerises.' the pair fell with charlie on her feet and vaggie on her butt.

'oh shit.'

Charlie helped her girlfriend up. 'vaggie we practiced this.' she said slightly disappointed.

Jeane could feel vaggies need to prove herself grow and also a lot of desperation.

'alright we are gonna do trust falls. Now vaggie is in charge of this excerise.' Charlie annouced with a smile.

'wait what, babe what are you doing.' Vaggie asked leaning into charlie.

'vaggie I trust everyone so who knows better about building trust then someone like you… you know someone who is more discerning in who they trust.'

Vaggie blushed and nodded.

Vaggie then took a military stance and marched in front of the line of the residents. 'alright everyone we are doing trust falls… we will share something personal with the group and then fall into their arms.'

'Ill go first.' Jeane offered but charlie patted his head.

'Let big sis handle this one jeane. You can go after.' She said with a smile.

Charlie hopped up on the stage and with a big smile and look of love in her eyes. 'I have to say I love all you guys.' she then fell and both vaggie and jeane ran up to grab her.

'gotcha' Vaggie said with a smile. 'Jeane your next.'

Jeane got up on the stage and looked a the group and realized that he had stage fright. He looked down at charlie who had a big smile and gave him two thumbs up while vaggie also gave him a supportive thumbs up.

Jeane gulped and said. 'even though I feel restricted by how much time im allowed unsupervised considering I am an adult. I love all of you and would do anything for you...in a way your all a piece of my family.'

Charlie immediately let out a coo and wiped away away a tear and as soon as jeane fell back he was grabbed by angel of all people.

'I knew youd fall for me eventually.' he raised his eyebrows only to get punched by vaggie.

'pendejo, you pulled my hair and pushed charlie out of the way.' She said angry.

Jeane froze as he was cradled by angel dust. 'ow, I just wanted to make sure we had varity in who catches who. Anywho ill go next.'

Angel dust goes on stage and raises a finger. 'I like to suck…'

Husks fur immediately begin to ruffle as he exclaimed. 'I swear to fuck if you say dicks.'

'I was gonna say popsicles you pervert… get your mind out of the gutter.' Angel dust jabbed as he fell back to be grabbed by husk and smirked. 'dicks too though.'

Husk dropped him with a grunt.

Nifty immediately rushed to the top of the stage with a speedy burst as she cackled and laughed to herself.

'Sometimes I like to kill mother bugs in front of their children as warnings to others!' she cackled as she leapt while the rest of the residents took a step back except for jeane who grabbed her.

'Ah, I wanted pain.'

'guys, come on, its nifty… shes said worse then that… you ok nift.' Jeane asked rocking her like a baby.

She begin mummering and snoozing off and jeane her a camera snap.

'This one is definetly going in the scrap book.' Charlie smiled. 'see jeane who needs the rest of hell to make friends when you have my hotel where you can make good redeemable friends and be safe with me and vaggie… where you belong.' Charlie wrapping her arm around his waist and pulling him to her.

'look as much as Id love to watch your little sister knows best show are we done yet because I have a bar to keep.' Husk said walking away with a frown.

'I actually have a suggestion for building some trust.' Angel dust suggested.

Vaggie raised an eyebrow 'and that would be…'

we cut to a bdsm club where the group are all doing their own thing.

Charlie is covering jeanes eyes aggressively blushing. 'Jeane don't you dare leave my side and if anyone touches you then you scream that your not interested.'

'Angel what the fuck!'

'what we are building trust bonds right.' Angel dust teased. 'and there are no better bonds then those formed through bondage… thats their motto.'

Angel pointed to a poster with a smirk.

The boy gulped as charlies hand pulled him close.

'Hey baby, you and that boy wanna do some blindfold play.' a sinner invited.

'No thank you, this is my baby brother actually.'

'oh, being the dutiful big sister I see… why don't you come over here and let me show you both how to love thy brother.' The sinner invited.

Charlie whimpered ans she pulled jeane to her. 'Vaggie get us out of here… jeane shoudlnt be exposed to this…'

'You know jeane is eventually gonna have to leanr what sex is right… he cant be a baby forever.' Angel dust corrected but charlie slapped him down.

'Hes still my baby damnit.' charlie then pulled jeane out of the club and pulled him close. 'there there big sissie is here no one is gonna hurt you… now me and vaggie are gonna give you a long talk about the birds and the beezlebubs when we get home.'

The rest of the group left the strip joint raising their hands with abandon.

'so what next.'

'I think we have exposed jeane to enough today. Hes over stimulated… he needs a nice long shower, and then right to bed with his sister and future sister in law.'

Vaggie blushed. 'Babe.'

Charlie stuck out her tongue with a smirk.

'Well im all for it.' Angeldust said taking a step toward the way to the hotel.

'same here.'

'Actually. I have an idea.' Charlie said. 'Just so today isnt a total bust… vaggie how about we learn about trust the way you did.'

overlooking a warzone group look down in shock.

Jeane was flooded with emotions all negative which made him both sick and full.

Charlie meanwhile was shocked. 'this was how you learned to trust people!?'

'alright grunts, there are no greater bonds then the ones forged in battle.' Vaggie instructs in her military tone of voice.

'uh pass.' Angel said but then gets grabbed by vaggie and throw into the fires of war.

'you will fight together!' Vaggie screamed.

Jeanes mind flashed of angel riddled with bullets no light in his eyes… dead.

Its your fault. A voice spoke in the back of your mind.

Vaggie then stomped up to sir pentious. 'you will pull each other out of the fire.'

'no please, I don't even have any of my weapons!' Sir pentious pleaded getting thrown off the building.

Another image this one of sir pentious cut In half his eyes plucked out.

You were too weak too save them. The voice told him.

'and you will trust each other as brothers.' Vaggie reached and grabbed Nifty.

'Vaggie no!' Charlie grabbed nifty from her and held her close. 'this isnt the only way'

'Charlie we don't have time to try anything else.'

'Vaggie this is too dangerous.'

'Charlie just let me help you! Let me show you that you can… trust me.' Vaggie said rubbing her arm.

'Oh vaggie I do trust you… more then anyone else besides my own brother.' She then kissed her on the cheek.

Just then jeane noticed nifty crawl over the building and leap off.

Jeanes mind raced to nifty riddled with stab wounds her one eye crushed beside her.

Feed me more. The voice instructed jeane.

The boy almost mechanical took steps toward the edge and before he could think he just off the roof.

'jeane!' Charlie and vaggies voices were silenced as jeane took a running start into the war zone.

'jeane! Jeane! You get back here right now young man or your grounded!' Charlies voice faded as jeanes mind raced with the possibility of what was happening to his friends.

Jeane ran as fast as he could and this cost him dearly as his foot touched a land mine. The blast sent him flying.

A ringing in his ears made the boy deaf and a pain in his legs made it so that he could barely walk. His right arm was useless.

The boy stumbled down the warzone admidst the chaos trying his best to scan the area for his friend.

The boys eyes gazed on a jack o lantern demon on top of a nifty pinning her down despite the little demon fighting back.

The ringing stopped in jeanes ears and was replaced by anger. The gritted his teeth.

'No stop! You suck!' Nifty screamed kicking at him.

'you little bitch, you stabbed me… im gonna cut your eye out.' He said trying to pin her down.

What will you do jeane… the voice egged jeane on as he stumbled behind the demon reaching for a piece of debris, a long steel pipe with a sharpened end.

The boy could feel his anger blazing and that anger shone in golden light down his good arm and into the pipe whose point began to shine golden.

'hey bub.' Jeane called before lunging with a stab! 'don't you touch her!'

The demon grunted in pain and his blood sprayed on jeane and nifty. Jeane pushed him away and fell to his knees.

'Jeane, your hurt.' Nifty said running to him.

'Ill be ok nifty… did he hurt you.' Jeane looked at her and she looked worried.

Nifty shook her head. She then ran up to him and kicked his head she then froze and looked at jeane.

'Jeane… hes… dead!' She cried out!

Jeane froze… that was impossible… sinners don't just die from random debris…. It took an angelic weapon to do that.

` Jeane looked down at the pipes pointed edge and saw the golden light vanish. Jeane felt his heart twist and the realization that… he had killed a sinner…. He had taken a life.

The apple in his heart began to burn and glow brighter. He could feel it surging in power and alastors words on experience spoke to him… first love, first kiss… first kill.

Jeane ran to the man and began shaking him. 'hey, buddy, your just sleeping.. come on regenerate… please.'

Jeane screamed at the top of his lungs… he felt sick to his stomach as he looked at the dead sinner.

The sound of sniffling and a pull of his sleeve. 'Jeane i-im s-scared… I want to go h-home.'

The boy checked his surroundings then looked down at the crying nifty then lifted her up like a child patting her back.

The boy held her in one arm stumbled forward as he surveyed the hellzone for his friends.

He noticed angel carrying sir pentious by the tail and the pair looked at each other. Angel waved at him pulled sir pentious toward them.

'Jeane! You look like shit man… lets get the hell out of here.' Angel said.

Jeane nodded his head and handed him nifty and the group as stumbled their way back to the building only for gun fire come raining down.

'Oh no!' Nifty covered her ears and shivered in angeldusts arms.

'Shit those guys pentious punched found us… what are we gonna do and where is husk.' Angeldust exclaimed as the man got closer.

Jeane meanwhile felt his apple grow in power and the thought of them all dying broke his heart… he jumped at the them and wrapped them in a hug and cried out.

'save them!' Jeane body began to glow In bright light and in a blast of white energy blew up the area and in the midst of the light was a ringing then silence.

Jeane fell into angels arms who held him close to him and pulled all three of them up onto the building with the help of husk who found him and aided them up the building.

Charlie looked at them all the worst for wear and seeing jeane she ran to them.

'Oh no, oh fuck. Your all hurt… come here give him to me… ill see to it you all are taken care of.' Charlie cooed while they handed her jeane.

Vaggie meanwhile looked at the injured jeane and felt herself ball up in tears. 'Im sorry everyone… I failed you all…' she then runs off jumping from building to building.

'Hey is she ok.' Angel dust asked. 'We werent gonna hold it against her… much.'

'shell be fine… now lets look at jeane.' She then noticed jeanes wounds burning with white light as charlies eyes grew wide.

'So did you guys did see that white light that killed like thirty guys?' Husk asked.

'Yeah, I saw it but I don't remember what caused it.' Angel dust admitted scratching his chin.

'The last thing I remember is jeane wrapping us up in a hug and yelling save them which is a weird thing to say when were all about to die.' Sir pentious added.

'Jeane also killed a guy with a lead pipe and light magic.' Nifty dropped with an eerie smile making all stare down at her and take a step back.

'ok, not gonna unpack that… but we all need to get you back to the hotel.' charlie picked jeane up only to see that his wounds were completely healed.

The demon princess shook her head.

'Charlie.' Jeane replied weakly. 'What happened.'

'Shssh, its ok, im here… your safe now… were gonna get you home and get you some rest.'

'Did I save them charlie… did I save them all.' Jeane asked his vision blurry.

'Yes jeane… you saved everyone one of them.'

Jeane then began crying… 'Charlie… I… I… he… I didn't mean to… he was gonna…. And nifty… I only wanted too.'

Charlie felt terrible let her brother cry on her shoulder. 'Its ok jeane, I know… I know. Its not your fault… let it out… let it all out.'

'Charlie… am I… am I a monster.'

Charlie held him tight tears flowing down her eyes now as well. 'No, no! You are my little brother… I love you and you just made a mistake… I cant hate you for that.'

Jeane held charlie close and for the first time let her lift him as she carried him to the hotel.

Meanwhile angel, husk and sir pentious were discussing things.

'yeah that light was weird.' angel dust said. 'I wish I knew what caused it.'

Husk narrowed his eyes at the sleeping jeane. 'I Think I have a idea'

'what you think jeane is reponsible… hes harmless… a little whiny but harmless' Angel said with a smile.

'Yeah and he gives the best hugs when your upset… hes like s squishy teddy bear.' sir pentious said dreamy.

Both husk and angel stared at him making him freeze. 'you didn't hear me say that.' the snake exclaimed.

'anyway think about it. Alastor himself has taken an interest in jeane. Let tell you as someone who has been an interest to the radio demon he doesn't pick just anyone to be interested in.'

Angel rolled his eyes. 'Maybe hes interested because hes charlies brother and he could use him to get to her.'

'no… I know alastor well enough to know that he wants jeane more then he wants her.'

'Your a paranoid pussy kat arent ya.' Angel teased.

'Would you fucking listen. This could be dangerous… jeane just summoned an angel nuke in the middle of hell and your laughing.'

Angel shrugged. 'its fun to laugh at a crazy kittens mewling… ha.' angel joked.

Husk growled.

Jeane laid on his bed tired from todays activity as he looked out into the darkness of hell. He felt terrible for what he did. The memory of the dead sinner fresh in his mind.

What had he done… he killed someone… destroyed their soul for all eternity just like the excorists and he did it without hestiation.

The boy felt his stomach turn but also a feeling of angry remembering what that sinner was doing to nifty… he felt justified for saving her… but also bad for having killed him.

The boy was drawn out of his stupor when he saw vaggie at the crows nest looking out. He could feel her disappointment… sadness… she and him shared those emotions.

The boy got out of bed and made his way to the crows nest. Climbing up and watching as vaggie looked out unaware.

'Hey vaggie.'

Vaggie raised her head then turned to see jeane.

'Jeane, sweetie you should be in bed after today… we don't know if your wounds are fully healed.' She said with a smile as she walked up him and he looked at her sad.

'I couldn't sleep… I was thinking.'

Vaggie looked in his eyes and saw something familiar. 'So its true… you did kill a sinner today.'

Jeane nodded his head expecting disgustand hatred.

Instead vaggie placed her hands on his face and he could see tears in her eyes. 'you poor soul… im so sorry someone as innocent as you would have to do that.'

Jeane felt understanding from vaggie as he pressed his head on her shoulder. 'i-i don't like what I did… I think im becoming a monster.'

'hey listen to me.' Vaggie pulled jeanes face to hers. 'you made a mistake, it happens but I know you only did it to save nifty… the others told me what happened… your not a monster… not like… them.'

Jeane could tell she meant someone besides the excorists maybe herself but he looked at her.

'you know vaggie…' he laughed lightly with tears in his eyes. 'despite all the chaos… your plan worked.'

Vaggie raised an eyebrow. 'really how?'

'I can tell just by how the others are getting along by looking through the window. That they trust each other now and thats thanks to you… your methods are dicey but they work.' Jeane leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Vaggie smiled and returned the gesture. 'your a good kid jeane… don't stay up too late.'

Jeane nodded his head and watched vaggie leave then felt a prescence watching him in the darkness a familiar prescence.

'so your back… what happened with the eggs.' Jeane asked as alastor manifested with a smile.

'back with pentious as per vaggies command… now my dear boy… I sense youve had a first… your first slain foe… oh goody thats quite a power boost you got.' Alastor gloated with a smile looking at his staff.

The boy turned his head and frowned. 'take it back…'

'pardon me?'

'take it back! You know what it is… you have it yourself… take it away from me…' Jeane begged.

'cant im afraid even if I could… I wouldnt.'

'why!?' Jeane felt the pressure of the power. 'this thing is a curse… I killed someone today theyre gone because of me.'

'and if you didn't nifty would be gone because of them and countless others as well.'

'what about the explosion I cant control that what happens If it erases them like it did the other sinners.'

Alastors smile grew bigger. 'I know something you don't know.'

'what are you getting at.'

'what if I were to tell you, I could grant your apple more power and with it a better understanding of you… you see my dear boy that apple is just now developing it is basically an infant who has the power of a deity it doesn't understand how to use it and you don't know how to control it but if I were to feed it a bit of my own experiences ones id not miss since I have so many it would grow into something that could be controlled and trained that would eventually allow you to not only protect the ones you love… but show charlie that you can make it on your own.'

'you swindling red mother fucker! You can take your deal and shove….'

friends on the other side by princess and the frog

Alastor slaps jeanes hand away: don't you disrespect me little man.

Alastor grabs jeanes arm and shadows begin to form around them: you don't derogate or deride.

The shadows engulf them and warp back into alastors radio tower: your in my world now not your world…

the shadows form around them and show radio signals: and ive got friends on the other side

the radio voices come out as screams then a trio of female voices sing out beautifully: hes got friends on the other side.

Alastor smirks as the shadows have formed a table and a full voodoo shop: impressed, just a little parlor trick, something I learned during my time in new orleans don't worry.

Jeane feels something pulling him to table as he sees alastors black apple and his red one reaching for each other: sit down at my table. Put your mind at ease… if you relax it will enable to do… anything I please.

Jeane sits on the chair and slides into the table: I can read your future and ill change round some too.

The apples get closer together: ill look deep into your heart and soul.

The apples return to each others chest with a snap from alastors fingers: and you have such a unique soul don't ya jeane… make your wildest dreams come true.

The shadows began to go wild: I got hoodoo, voodoo, I got things I havent even tried… and I got friends on the other side.

The females returned this time they took shadow form and wrapped themselves around jeane and he felt a familiar prescence from each of them as they touched his apple: hes got friends on the other side.

Alastor then summons a deck of tarot cards which begin shuffling themselves: the cards, the cards, the cards will tell…. The past, the present, and the future as well

the tarot deck spreads before jeane: the cards, the cards, take two pairs of three… come take look into your families future with me.

Jeane selected six cards randomly and handed them and they instantly vanished into alastors hands: now you young man are from above this realm.

The card shows a small baby flying down and being grabbed by a six winged angel figure with horns: found by one with a fiendish helm.

Alastor smirks: lucifer never told you that you werent born from his loins did he.

Jeane shook his head… but he knew alastor wasnt lying

alastor the showed the final card: your lifestyles high… but your morales low…. You want get out of your birdcage and see what world has to show.

Alastor sighs: ah charlie, charlie, she means well but doesn't realize that all this overprotective nonsense is only going to hurt her in the long run… if you truly something you got set it free, let roam from place to place but for you freedom takes power… its power power its power you need.

Alastor then reveals a card with a glowing red apple growing on a big tree: and when look into your future its the power I see

alastor then looks at the next three card s with a frown: non on yout sister little man I don't wanna waste much time… shes been pushed away all her life.

Alastor then shows cards of different family members with their hands raised to charlie: shes been pushed away by father, by her mother, by her own brother.

Alastor then smiles: and if she ever gets married.

Alastors shows a card of her crying in front of vaggies hand pushing her away: shell be pushed away by her bride.

Alastor then shows a card with a sharp predatory smile: but in her future what I see… is her achieving every one of her dreams…

alastor then leans down: all I need is for you to shake my hand… one deal and youll have it alll… come on jeane… shake this poor sinners hand

Jeane gulped: what do you want from me in return my soul?

Alastor shook his head: no my boy, all I ask is one simple favor and I wont even make you hurt even to accomplish it.

Jeane hesitant shook alastors hand wanting all he had to offer: yes! Are you ready!

Shadowy tendrils pinned jeane to the chair and alastor turned full demon mode with the scream of the wendigo. His black apple shown and jeanes apple quivering. Alastors hand glowed in black energy as reached into jeanes chest and grabed his apple flooding.

Jeanes mind raced with different experiences of death, war, and vice… he could feel the knowledge flood inside him and empower him. He could also feel the three shadow woman figures lean in and whisper to him sweet nothings as his eyes grew heavy.

Alastor smiled as jeane began to lose consciousness: your changing, your changing, your changing alright, I hope your satisified… but if you aint… don't blame me… you can blame my friends on the other side.

The woman then whispered jeane: youve taken the first step, we cant wait until you come back

Alastor lifted jeane and carried him to his room. Smirking as he turned his head to the shadow.

'I know your watching me old friend.' Alastor said with smirk.

'Alright ill be straight what the fuck is your interest in this kid.' Husk asked stepping In the shadows.

'None of your concern.' Alastor turned to put jeane to bed.

'Bullshit… I saw what he was capable of. Making normal metal capable of killing immortal souls, causing explosions of angel light… this aint natural demon stuff and you know this...now I demand to know.'

A chain appeared on husks neck. 'Husker… do I need to remind you that you are mine.'

Husker shook his head.

The chain disappears and alastor smiles. 'good and if you tell charlie what you saw today it wont be pleasant for you… understood.'

Husk nodded his head.

'Excellent… ill take a thumb of rye up at tower if you so please.'

Husk ran off to get him his booze while alastor looked down and smiled at jeane. 'you are coming along quite nicely little apple seed… soon youll be ready for the garden… but not yet… but soon.'

Alastor chuckled in the darkness as he took jeane into his room to put him to bed.

Chapter Text

''

Jeane ran as fast as he could. He didn't know what was chasing him in the dark garden but he knew it wasnt good.

Who hurts you. The voices howled in unison.

'leave me alone!' jeane cried out as he tripped over a tree branch. He looked up to see once again the tree of knowledge gnarled and rotted. This time the apples were completely gone replaced by fruit with eyes in them.

Who hurts you. The voices call from the distance.

The eyes turn toward jeane boring into him making the boy feel the weight of their gaze.

'go away, no! I don't want this.' Jeane curled up in a little ball and began to cry.

Suddenly a song was heard that calmed him as he felt a hand touch his back.

'my child, what brings you such pain.' his mother liliths voice asked.

Jeane needed her right now. He leapt up and held her close and began crying.

'Mom! Is it true! Am I… not your little baby… did you just… find me.' He sputtered out. Lilith wiped away his tears and smiled at him.

'You silly sweet boy… you were always mine… now wake up.' Lilith kissed jeanes turns away and he opened his eyes to reveal he was in bed wrapped up in plenty of blankets.

The boy first realized that he could sense everyone in the hotel and their emotions. He could feel angels horniness, sir pentious pride, husks annoyance, and the plethora manic emotions from nifty and knew their exact locations… he also knew when they interacted their emotions shifted.

He felll off the bed it was too much… it hurt.

The boy grabbed his head.

'make it stop.' Jeane called only for another hand to touch his back.

'Focus on yourself my dear boy.' Alastor said with an uncharacteristic seriousness about him.

'Whats going on… it was never this strong before.' Jeane called.

'the product of our deal jeane. I gave you plenty of power now your apple has graduated from infant to adolenscence… it is ready to be trained into a full power.' Alastor exclaimed in his radio voice.

Jeane breathed heavily feeling the emotions weigh on his head. 'jeane, try this excerise… start at 1000 and count backwards by decimals of 7'

Jeane did so and it almost drove him mad trying to keep it on track but despite what he thought about the radio demon it worked… he couldn't feel them all anymore.

'Whelp while the others are doing show and tell… I think we should get to showing and telling you how to train up your powers.' Alastor said clicking his staff against the floor.

Jeane nodded his head as he and alastor were engulfed in shadows. Alastor took jeane to the roof of the hotel.

Alastor then turned his back to jeane. Jeane could tell his apple was summoned as jeanes chest was glowing and it had grown twice as big as yesterday nearly engulfing his whole breast.

'how come I couldn't sense you when I was having an overload.' Jeane asked getting ready for anything.

'because apple users can learn a technique to conceal themselves from detection even from other apple users.' Alastor then showed jeane his tendrils.

'now jeane im going to need you to focus on me im going to show you my killing intent and I need you to pinpoint that so that you can properly dodge my tendrils.'

Jeane was taken aback opening his senses to alastor but feeling nothing. 'what are talking about.'

Jeane then felt a rush of red hatred and in an instant a tendril shot forward jeane jumped back and nearly fell off the roof Only to be grabbed by the collar as alastor smiled. The radio demon threw demon back onto the roof.

'it seems the infusion was a complete success.'

'my reflexes, my body.'

'the apple has enhanced your physical abilities by a considerable amount and will do so as you grow stronger.' Alastor said sending out another killer intent.

Jeane dodged again this time not overshotting.

The pair continued this excerise for an hour before jeane was completely tired out. 'I I feel beaten.'

'Your coming along quite nicely. Your almost ready for the metamorphosis.' Alastor said laughing.

'What?'

'That apple of yours has been changing you for a while now and its almost ready to take the next stage…. Your going to awaken to what you really are jeane… and its gonna happen sooner rather then later.' Alastor then turned from jeane and began to summon shadows.

'Wait what am I changing into… why was I sent to hell… who are my real parents.'

Alastors evil grin sent chills down jeanes spine 'So many questions but the answers will come in due time.'

the shadows engulf jeane and the radio demon then they both appeared In the lobby watching as angel was arguing with husk.

'hey fuck you… this won me an adult film award!' He exclaimed at the kat bar tender.

'bullshit, you complain about these films all the time. The acting is terrible too.' Husk said too.

'who the fuck are you to judge my work.'

'your work… you don't even believe In it.' Husk and him stared at each other.

Jeane stepped between them. 'guys stop, were friends arent we. Lets talk about this.'

Husk scoffed then saw the radio demon and turned away. 'im not your friend and this fake pricks.'

'fake, im the genuine article asshole.' Angel flipped him off as he walked away after getting a call on his cell phone.

Jeane frowned as he felt the emotions of fear and dread in angel as he looked at it… jeane knew it was val again.

'hey I gotta go. Val is calling an emergency shoot.' Angel said grabbing his coat walking away.

Charlie stepped between him and the door. 'angel we have a lot of excerises today… can you reschedule.'

'Charlie I know this hotel is important to you but this is my job and I cant keep him waiting. Don't wait up.' even though angel wore a smile jeane knew it was forced. Val always had that effect on jeane. Jeane could feel hatred bubbling inside him as he thought about how valentino treated angel and how angels emotions were distorted and broken after a bad day with him.

Jeane gulped then looked up at charlie was curled in a ball leaning on the door. 'Ugh, why cant angels boss see that we are trying to redeem him. I wish we could get him to let angel have time off so he could spend more time at the hotel.'

Jeane then noticed vaggie. 'Uh charlie… there may be something you can do… you are the pricness of hell.'

Charlie looked up interested. 'so.'

'And you don't really use that authority. Which I love. But you could just demand that valentino give angel time off for the hotel.' Vaggie suggested.

'But thats so mean.' Charlie winced to herself.

'its not mean. Its… aggressively nice… your helping angel by applying some force. I promise it will work out.' Jeane meanwhile felt something telling him it was a bad idea.

Jeane was gonna say something when alastor whispered to him. 'you should go with her.'

'she wont let me go with her to a porn studio.' Jeane whispered back.

Alastor smiled and pointed to vaggie. 'vaggie dear.'

The grey skinned one eyed girl glared at the radio demon 'what is it alastor.'

'if charlie is going into that den of ill repute then may I suggest she take jeane… for safety.' Alastor suggested.

Charlie shook her head. 'no way am I taking jeane into that terrible place.'

Vaggie placed her hand on her lovers shoulder. 'charlie, hes not a baby anymore… he… he can help you if things go south… just for me ok.'

Charlie nodded her head tears in her eyes as she took a straight face and looked at jeane. 'you stay near me and if anyone touches you ill burn them to ashes.'

Jeane nodded his head. The boy followed his sister.

The pair sat in the car on the way to the tower in silence for the first bit.

'so vaggie tells me your not eating… is everything ok.' Charlie asked concerned.

Jeanes mind flashed to the dead sinner and the burst of white light. 'im just not hungry.'

'jeane, I know it seems like I don't want you to be happy but I really want to keep you safe…. Mom tasked me with your safety and I cant let anything happen to you.' Charlie sounded on the verge of tears.

'sometimes I still hear her voice charlie… where is she… why isnt she here… why… why did she abandon us… was I not good enough.' Jeanes mind raced to the idea that he wasnt the son of lucifer and lilith anymore and that could be why she left.

Charlie scouched toward him and leaned on him and cuddled with him.

'what are you doing?'

'your being a gloomy rommie… so you get the cuddle bug.' Charlie cooed in a baby voice bringing a smile to jeanes face.

Jeane placed his head on his much taller sisters shoulder as they cuddled with each other in silence until jeane broke it.

'Charlie… if I wasnt your blood brother… youd tell me right.' Jeane asked needing to know.

Charlie paused for a few moments until the car stopped. 'well talk more after the meeting with valentino promise.' Charlie then opened his door and the pair got out to the porn studio of vee towers.

The pair of them walked up the tower unimpeded and jeane could feel a flood of emotions both positive and negative… it was terrible.

The boy felt sick and he leaned on charlie who held him close.

The pair walked up and entered a room where they saw angel on a bed surrounded by a camera crew filming.

'charlie, maybe we should wait.' Jeane said but before he could grab her to turn back they were spotted by angel.

Angeldust rushed to them. 'jeane, charlie what the fuck are you doing here.'

'we are the heirs to hell angeldust we go where we want.' charlie said in a high and mighty tone. Then leaned in with a friendly whisper. 'we came to talk to your boss to give you more time off for the hotel.'

'no you cant be here. Val will skin all three of us if…'

'angel baby… whats the hold up.' a hispanic accent said in a sickly sweet voice.

Jeane could feel a hundred different emotions from him and if it wasnt for alastors training the boy would probably have fainted from sheer strength of vals emotional depravity. Jeane could see images of what he wanted to do to angel, his sister, and even him.

'ooo, the prince and princess of hell to what do I owe the pleasure.' Val said. The purple skinned moth demon was dressed in a red pimp coat with white fur lining that had red hearts sown into it. He grabbed charlies arm. 'you don't want a part do you… I could make us both a lot of money… maybe even a scene that invovles you and your brother.'

'fuck no!' Charlie pulled her arm away when the moth demon licked it making her cringe.

'Uh mr. Valentino. I would like to request that you give angel dust some time off so that he can work more on his redemption… please.' Jeane watched val look at him with a predatory look in his eye then make a forced smile.

'hey, why don't we talk about it after the shoot… feel free to wait around enjoy the show. Angel ill see you on set.' Val said calmly but jeane could feel the storm of rage inside the moth pimps heart and it sickedned the boy.

Jeane could tell that valentino wasnt the monster angel made him out to be… he was far worse.

They watched as the show was started but as soon as it was starting jeane lost track of charlie who immediately started talking to a lighting guy.

Jeane ran to her 'charlie stop, your ruining the shot.'

'cut! What the fuck!' Valentino turned his gaze to the pair and narrowed his gaze then forced a smile.

Jeane then frowned as charlie waved at him jeane grabbed her 'we cant ruin this for angel. We have to go… please.'

'jeane, its ok… we arent in danger here.' Charlie said as she suddenly slipped on a camera cord which caused a chain of events which started a fire.

Everyone was going crazy and the fire grew fast charlie was terrified but grabbed jeane and tried to pull him away but jeane saw angels bed was on fire and pulled away breaking from his sisters grip rushing to angel through the flames and grabbing him.

'jeane? What are you doing?' Angel dust asked.

'angel… im sorry but please don't be mad at charlie… she just wants the best for you… im gonna get you out of here even if it kills me.' the fire was about to touch jeane as his body began to glow white.

A flutter of wings resounded and a gust of wind rushed through snuffing out the flame causing everyone to stop in fear instead of panic as they watch valentino loom with his wings out. The pimp stands threatening then reaches into his coat and pulls out a long cigarette and puffs on it with a smile.

'angel… a word.' Valentino said his voice teeming with sickly sweet venom as smoke leaks out of his teeth.

Angel gulped but jeane grabbed his hand and looked at him with fear. 'angel don't go… please.'

Jeane could feel angels hesitation and fear. 'I have too. You shouldn't have come.'

The boy then decided to try something… angel was right because of him and charlie valentino was gonna do something terrible but jeane could make sure that angel wouldnt suffer alone.

Jeane focused on the emotional connection between him and angel and found that he could experience everything that angel could not just emotions but thoughts, senses, and even predict his next actions.

'I know angel… im sorry.' Jeane said.

Angel walked off and jeane stayed with charlie.

Jeane watched the door close and could hear what was being said.

Angel felt fear as he talked to his boss. 'Val im sorry.'

A strike, a surge of pain and a renewal of panick of fear… jeane could feel his cheek redden and knew if he was taking the full force he would be knocked off his feet.

'angel do you like making a fool of me.' Vals voice echoed in jeanes head making the fear rise with a flash of anger whether it was his or angels the boy didn't no.

'no val.'

'do you really think that spoiled bitch and her twink brother are gonna be able to help you. Did you think I wouldnt notice you trying to get out of contract.' Each word cut like a knife.

'val I wasnt, please she just gets invovled in things that don't concern her.' another strike making jeane feel pain this time knocking him back. The boy felt something wrap around his neck.

'ive killed bitches for giving me less lip then you angie… your just lucky that your mildly amusing and you make me a lot of money.' Val stated and jeane could feel him pulling on what was on his neck.

'val please.'

A slam against the wall sent waves against jeanes body as he fell to his knees and then the worst happen as he felt hands on him.

'don't forget angel… I own you.'

'val please.'

Jeane could feel the pain in his body even this little bit he took from angel was too much for him and he could feel more anger flooding his body… he looked at charlie who was hyper focused on the door.

Jeane could hear barely anything for a second then the sound of three women singing.

Who hurts you. The boys eyes widen.

'no… please not now.' Jeane felt his body glow.

Who hurts you. The voices sing as the glow begins to brighten.

'1000...993…986…98...no…979' Jeane counted backwards and the glowed slowly disapited until it disappeared.

'if I tell you your fucking 200 guys before lunch you say.'

Angels fear was prevalent 'Yes valetino'

'if I say your working all night in the studio you say.'

'yes valentino'

'and if I say get those two royal twats out of my studio before I cut them in half you say.'

Angels heart dropped and he could feel absolute dread form him. The boy felt his heart nearly. Stop.

'Ill take care of it val… I promise.'

Jeane could feel the light fade as he looked at charlie. The door opened to reveal a beaten angel, a black eye and little blood pooling down his lip.

Charlie began to take full demon form.

'How dare you do that to him!' Charlie was about to charge the smirking val but jeane but grabbed her arm.

'Dont charlie!' He screamed out.

'Jeane why! He hurt angel. Let go of me.' Charlie said.

'No charlie, hes right… you shouldn't have come here. I told you not too, now you made it worse… I know you want to fix everything but you just cant… now grab jeane and go home… now!' Angel commanded and even with the soul link jeane could feel the pain in his heart and in charlies as well.

The boy picked himself up and lead charlie away.

'Were sorry angel… we wont bother your work again.' Jeane lead charlie away.

The pair left the studio and returned to the car. Jeane immediately leaned against the window as he felt his connection with angel still there… the boy decided not to cut it… he would take angels pain all day today… maybe then he could help him.

Charlie began crying to herself.

'charlie?'

'I fucked up big time… didn't I.' She said in her tears. 'I got angel beat up by that horrible boss of his.'

'that wasnt completely your fault.'

'jeane, I just want to help people but I cant even help angel get time off his work because of valentino… what if im just an idiot who cant save anyone.' She hid her face.

'Hey! Don't say that!'

'but its true! Heaven wont listen to my plan? Extermination is in 4 months… and my own brother doesn't even need me anymore.'

'charlie… what makes you think that.'

'don't you think I notice how much you hate being kept at the hotel. I try to make it comfortable and homey but I kow how much you hate I there… and I know you can do great on your own but I don't want to risk something happening without me there to save you.'

'charlie… just because im growing up and becoming an adult doesn't mean I don't need you… ill also need you… your my big sister… weve slept together… bathed together… played together… we are a family.'

'But I have to protect you… how can I do that if I let you wander free… without me there to save you.'

Jeane placed his hand on his crying sisters and held her close. 'you have to trust that I can save myself… youve taught me well charlie… and I know if I ever get in over my head… I have the greatest sister in hell to help me out of it.'

the pair cuddled close as they reached the outskirts of the city.

Charlie cleared her eyes then chuckled. 'youve grown so much… I guess… I always wanted you to be that little guy who would grab at my pant leg and beg for treats from the kitchen.'

Jeane chuckled too. 'too be honest, I could use one of moms devils food cupcakes right now.'

Charlie dabbed her brothers arm with a smile 'you used to eat so many that youd get a stomach ache and id have to snuggle with you and rub your tummy all night.'

Jeane nodded his head. 'remember when we found vaggie and brought her home… how scared she was.'

'she took to you almost instantly.' Charlie admitted…

'I don't know why.' Jeane admitted the pair remembered finding vaggie during an extermination with her throat slit and her eye missing. Charlie began fixing her eye while jeane kept look out. Charlie had gone out to find jeane because he had run off to look for their mother… scared of not having her.

The night they found vaggie after they healed her she instantly pointed her spear at jeanes neck before he raised his hand and froze scared but then she looked in his eye and something took over her. She grabbed him and pulled him to her side.

Vaggie had laid on top of him while holding her spear not letting charlie or any one else get close until morning. It was jeane that was vaggies connection for the longest time before it was found out she and charlie had a connection and they fell in love.

Vaggie never grew out of her love for jeane as she would constantly let her animalist side come out and hold him close to her whenever there was someone dangerous close by.

'Remember when that one lady called me an ugly little twink.' Jeane began laughing at that.

'Oh god, vaggie kicked her ass until she had to regenerate from bits…. She never could control her temper when someone she loves was insulted.'

'shes a lot like you in that regard… thats what I love about you both.' Jeane said.

The pair entered the hotel arm in arm.

'Jeane?'

'yes sis.'

'I think im ready to let you have a little more freedom.' Charlie said with a smile.

'Really how much more.'

'How about 4 hours a day without supervision and you can even go into the city without my permission.' Charlie said.

'You really trust me that much.' Jeane was surprised by his sisters change of heart and cuddled with her.

'yeah, youve shown me In the last couple months that you really are an adult… and its time I treat you as such… now go wash up for dinner.' She ordered and jeane smiled.

The boy walked up to the bathroom then felt a flash.

He could hear angel singing and feel the pain, anger, and fear from his heart.

Everything that was happening at the studio was destroying angel from the inside out and jeane was doing his best to take it on but even he felt it.

The boy took on angels pain and felt a need to save him.

After it was done jeane cut the bond and fell to his knees knowing he left angel to his faint without him.

'angel… im sorry… fuck… im so sorry.' He sobbed softly into his knees.

The boy felt someone walk up behind him. 'why you crying kid.'

It was husk with a bottle in his hand.

'Angel… I got him in trouble with his boss… now I know hes in pain and its all my fault.'

Husk took a drag on the bottle. 'did you want to cause him pain.'

Jeane shook his head.

'did you try your best to make a psycho see reason.'

Jeane nodded his head.

'then you did more then any sane person would dare too. Want my advice stop caring about angel, he doesn't care about himself… hes just fake and will eventually lead the hotel to ruin.'

'Husk… your a slave arent you… like angel.' Jeane said… making the cat demon freeze.

'How do you know that… did alastor.'

Jeane shook his head. 'when you talked about angel I felt a sense of empathy particularly when you brought up valentino… husk… im sorry.'

'well don't be… I made my choices and it lead to this and I don't need you to save me… not that you could… you cant even save yourself.' Husk turned from jeane, took another long drag from his bottle and flipped jeane off on the way.

The boy stood in the hallway feeling terrible when he felt someone tugging his leg. He looked down to see nifty with bathroom cleaning supplies.

'jeane will you give me a hand cleaning all the bathrooms please. They are really backed up today with sir pentious.' Jeane smiled at that. 'Sure thing nifty'

Jeane walked with nifty to the bathrooms and started cleaning with her. 'jeane do you think im crazy.'

'I think we all are nifty.' He admitted wiping down the counter.

'most men who I interact with are weirded out by me and don't like me but you treat me nice you and everyone else.'

'of course nifty… your part of the family.' Jeane said helping clean the bathroom.

'Thank you jeane.' She hugged him and then looked behind him. 'if anything happened to you… id kill a million souls to save you.'

Jeane smiled and patted her head. 'well lets pray for those souls that nothing happens.'

Nifty nodded.

'jeane help! She is gonna kill me!' Sir pentious cried out slithering closer.

Jeane stepped out of the room to see sir pentious running with a crate while vaggie chase after him speeding toward him.

'Help me… she wants to kill me.' Sir pentious said hiding behind jeane crying.

'you stole that from the contraband… you know I don't want you building any weapons.' Vaggie said her spear in hand.

'Vaggie put the spear down and let him explain himself.' Jeane said then looked at sir pentious.

'Whyd you steal the box sir pentious.' Jeane then noticed a feeling of embarrassment and noticed something inside there a small stuffie.

'Vaggie leave him to me… I promise he isnt building weapons.' Jeane said his voice stern.

Vaggie looked like she was about to argue but then nodded her head. 'okay kid I trust you.'

after she was gone jeane turned to sir pentious. 'the stuffie in the box… its yours isnt it.'

The serpent demon shook his head. 'my egg bois actually they each have their own little bird plushie… they like birds think they are gonna grow into them… but one of them was missing and I realized that it might be in one of he crates but when I looked for it vaggie found me.'

Jeane nodded his head. 'why didn't you explain it to her.'

'Because I am the great and evil sir pentious I do not get stuffies for my minions.' Sir pentious exclaimed raising a finger.

Jeane then looked at the stuffy and smiled. 'why get that one then.'

'because my egg boi was so scared at night. He would shake and quiver every night in terror without… so I had to get it what kinda evil mastermind would I be if I let my minions go without.'

Jeane then patted sir pentious shoulder. 'pen… your not evil.'

'what of course I am.'

'No… your not.' Jeane then looked at the egg bois running down with their stuffies while one was looking sad. 'if you were, youd rip that stuffie up in front of him.'

'why would I do that… its mean.'

'pen… I know what you want most… its acceptance… you want someone to love you and acknowledge as great… sir pentious, inventor, mastermind, genius… friend… I acknowledge you as one of the greatest and truest examples that everyone soul no matter how vile has a little good in them and can change through your acts of compassion, love, and care I see you as someone who not only should be redeem but is very close… in fact… I hope to see the day that you become the first of our ranks to enter the pearly gates.'

Sir pentious to tear up as he heard that. 'Jeane, no one has ever talked to me like that before.'

'Its about time someone started… because pen… your a great guy… I like you a lot… your my friend.'

Sir pentious cried as he ran to jeane and wrapped him in a hug then felt a tug on his shirt.

The two looked down to see the egg boi without his stuffy looking up at the stuffy with bright eyes. Sir pentious smiled and reached down handing it to him making the egg demon smile wide as it ran hand in hand with its toy dancing along.

'you know jeane your a bad influence on me.'

'How so.'

'Im beginning to care about the others here… and I don't know how that makes me feel.'

Jeane placed his arm around pen and smiles. 'Thats ok sir pentious… well figure it out… together… now im hungry want something to eat.'

today was going great. Jeane and the group all ate their fill at the table making light conversation with smiles.

But the door opened to reveal a scarred angel… mentally brow beaten and tired. The spider demon wandered to the bar and fiddled for a bottle.

Everyone looked worried for him as he reached for a bottle and took a swig.

He drained the bottle in a second then reached for another.

Charlie decided to pipe in. 'uh angel, your hitting those drinks kinda hard. Nifty made supper come join us.'

Angel turned her scowling still rifling for a big drink and grabbed a big bottle as he was about to drink it husk grabbed it.

'hey!'

'my bar asshole. Don't go rustling through it.' Husk said with a frown.

'why you gotta be so hard on me… just give me a fuckng drink.' Angel demanded grabbing for a drink but getting swatted by husk.

'why are you acting like hot shot when everyone here is obviously concerned about you.'

Angel glared at him. 'fuck you.'

'your drunk… go to bed.'

'hey come on whiskers… don't be that way… I can make you feel great tonight just give me a little bottle of booze.' Angel said flirting playing with husks chest.

Husk growled and slapped his hand away 'you know man, this is why I say your all fake… you don't want to fucking have a conversation… and I will never respect you.'

Angel glared at him 'fuck you, fuck this hotel, fuck everyone in here… I don't need this im going back to the tower… at least there I know no one gives a shit about me.' Angel flipped everyone off as he ran off.

'angel wait!' Charlie yelled running after him but jeane ran between her and him.

'charlie let me talk to him ill bring him back… promise.' Jeane said running out only to be followed by husker.

'why are you coming along.' Jeane asked turning his head back to the flying cat.

'despite what you believe I actually like this gig and costing you guys a patron will get me kicked out for sure.'

jeane was frustrated but he felt something a bit of guilt only a little bit and the boy could tell a lie from husker.

The pair scoured the city for angel for a few hours and eventually after asking a few people and roughing up a couple others found him in a bar.

Jeane and husk walk in and husk immediately goes up to the bar and orders a drink. Hands the man a bunch of bills.

'whiskey.' husk ordered. The bartender handed the cat demon a glass but he immediately grabbed the bottle. 'I meant the bottle asshole.'

jeane meanwhile scanned the area for angel and found him with some sharks drinking and laughing. He was about to walk to him when husk called him over.

'let him drink… get his mind clear… well bring him back when hes black out drunk.' Husk said.

'but thosse guys hes with what if they hurt him.' Jeane asked worried sensing lust in all their hearts.

'they wont… ill take care of them when the time comes… sit.'

Jeane walks up to husk and sits down.

'what I said earlier… about you not saving anyone… I apologize.' Husk said.

Jeane raised an eyebrow. 'is that the whiskey talking.'

Husk smirked. 'Maybe… kid, I cant help but feel free when im here with you…'

'im grateful husk.'

'You were right about me… I am a slave… to alastor the radio demon… so when I see angel acting all happy and fake when I know how much he is hurt… it pisses me off.'

Jeane frowns. 'I feel so powerless sometimes… I want to help you and protect all of you… but I know that I cant do anything when push comes to shove.'

Husk places his hand on jeanes shoulder. 'hey look at where you are… in a bar with a grumpy old tomcat looking for a porn star out of their mind and trying to bring them home all because you care about them… id say that your doing something.'

Jeane then noticed one of the sharks walk up.

'Round of something strong.' He said nodding to the pair as he fiddled with something in his suit pulling out a golden vial then poured It in the drink.

'Oh that fucker.' Husk rose up and ran to the table and punched the loan shark out. 'jeane grab angel and run.'

Jeane shook used his newfound abilities to run to angel and pick him over and sling him over his shoulder then ran out the back.

'What the… jeane, what are you doing here… fuck off im not going back.' Angel said with a cry.

'Angel now is not the time to argue.' Jeane ran out into the alley hearing someone yell after him.

Angel meanwhile fought him and made jeane fall.

The spider demont ried to run but jeane grabbed him.

'Stop angel… why are you fighting us… we only want to help you… were your friends!'

'Because I don't want you to get hurt! Val is… hes… you don't know what hell do to you if you keep helping me defy him.' Angel fell back and cried. 'Jeane… he owns me… my soul… he will kill you all to get me… hes obessessed… so I have to do all this… the drugs… the drink… the flirts… so I can be broken… so he can get bored of me… so maybe… he can let me go free.'

Jeane looked at angel in the eye and smacked him.

'You idiot! What about us huh! We love you! You think we want to see you destroy yourself to scare off some freaky month demon well thats not what we want… angel… hell or highwater your one of us and if val or any of the vees come after us we will kick their asses to keep you safe.'

'Jeane you cant mean that… you don't know what hes capable of…'

'Angel… I promise… I will never leave…' A gunshot sounds as jeane feels a bullet enter his chest… a holy bullet. The boy looks down in fear 'Angel…'

'Jeane!' Jeane feel into angels arms. As the blood began to pool in his mouth.

The boys vision began to blur as he saw the shadows of a garden hanging overhead. The sounds of his friends dying out. Jeane saw husk come in throwing cards and dice with explosive power and angel using a spare pair of arms to lay down suppressive fire to protect jeanes body.

Jeane saw the image of a woman… a woman shaped like his mother walk up to him.'who hurts you.'

Jeane felt his eyes grow heavy.

'Who hurts you.' The woman asked her sing song voice reaching jeanes mind as she layed her hands on his heart.

Jeane felt his eyes close as he felt an image of valentino hurting angel all the emotions of him hurting him and all angel had been through that jeane also experienced with their emotional link… add to that all he experienced in the murder of the sinner and it reached a boiling point as his body burst in golden light.

In the midst of the blinding light a new form was taken place jeane came out now naked and featureless save for pair of golden wings with black tipped feathers and the black hole birthmark on his stomach swirled in a living mass. Jeanes eyes glowed with angelic and fiendish light respectively as his face took a nearly sadistic smile at the shark demons.

'what the hell is that thing.' one of the shark demons yells out.

'I don't know just shoot it.' the shark demon shoots.

Cheers Theme

jeanes angel form rises up floating with his wings: making your in the world takes everything you got.

Bullets fly at his head any that hit him seem to bounce off while jeane doesn't loose his monotone voice or smile: taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.

Jeane turns his head toward the shark demons then aiming his hand at them: wouldnt like to go away.

Jeane blasts the sharks with golden light erasing them in one blast: sometimes you want to go where you everybody hates your face.

The shark demons try to run but jeane reaches into his black birthmark spot on his stomach and pulls out a black ball and throws it as it sucks in the sharks toward it crushing them like a mini black hole: and the demons know your rage.

The boy turns his head to the gawking demons: you wanna be in the destroyers, souls all look the same. Sometime you wanna go where everyone will feel your rage.

Before jeane could continue attacking demons angel and husker ran up to him and grabbed his hands.

'Jeane! Stop! Youve won.' Angel cried out.

'Yeah kid thats enough.' Husk said trying his best to pull him away.

'but there are more threats… I must take care of them… then I will go to vee towers and take care of valentino.' Jeane said in a monotone voice.

Angel scrunched up his face then looked away then stirred himself to jeane. 'Jeane no… your not going after valentino…'

'But angel as long as he is alive… your in danger.' Jeanes monotone face began to show tears rolling down his eyes.

'Jeane, its ok… well work through it… lets just go back to the hotel please… this isnt you.'

'Yeah kid remember the hotel…. Your sister… vaggie…. Your friends… us.' Husk said holding his hand.

The tears began roll down jeanes face as they dripped down on the ground 'I don't want to be a monster.'

'Your not kid… your not.'

'What am I… where did I come from… alastor told me that I was found by lucifer not born from him… so what is my origin… and why am I such a failure.'

'Well find that out together… youve helped us out aint ya… let us help you out.' Angel said with a smile.

Jeanes form began to glow and he returned to his normal form this time with a pair of wings that on his back.

'lets go home huh.'

The group all returned to the hotel to find charlie waiting up on them.

Charlie instantly went to angel to hug him and ask for forgiveness and angel forgave her making her cry in acceptance.

'Hey if it wasnt for jeane I wouldnt be here.' Angel said wit a smile. 'Well jeane and his angel blood.'

'Angel blood?'

'Yeah you know, he is your brother and your dad is a fallen angel… show her jeane.'

Jeane come out to show charlie his pair of wings making her freeze as she saw his wings.

'Charlie? Whats wrong?'

'I need to call someone!?' She exclaimed 'Jeane go to bed immediately and don't show anyone else your wings.'

Charlie immediately ran to where no one could see her and grabbed her phone. She pressed the quick dial button with her fathers name on it and heard the dial tone tapping her foot repeatedly.

'Come on, come on, come on.' She egged it on worried.

'Hello, charlie.' Her father asked groggy.

'Dad its me, I need your help…'

Her father seemed to sober up 'Yeah anything'

'You know how you said that those seals you placed on jeanes angelic power were your strongest… what would happen if they were broken…'

'Charlie… what happened…'

'I need your help…. I don't want the angels to take my brother away.'

'Im on my way.'

Chapter Text

Charlie paced back and forth like a mad woman. She muttered under her breath cursing her luck.

Why did this have to happen again… didn't we suffer enough when mom disappeared. She thought to herself as she paced in her room.

The door opened to charlies room and the demon princess turned to see her girlfriend vaggie smiling at her.

'Babe?' Vaggie asked… 'You doing ok.'

Charlie shook her head. 'Vaggie, you saw jeanes wings right.'

'Yeah, you wanna talk about it.'

Charlie sat on the bed and covered her face while vaggie sat next to her and began rubbing her back. 'I don't know where to start.'

'Why not at the beginning. When did jeane first start showing these powers.' She asked making sure to comfort her girlfriend.

'When he was a toddler. He was flying at such a young age it was hard for anyone but dad to catch him.' Charlie admitted. 'One dad he ran out into the city and someone tried to attack him… then jeane caused havoc.'

'How so…' Vaggie could hardly believe their sweet little jeane could do anyone any harm.

'he was blasting holy light and throwing black holes. We manage to cover it up as a rogue angel attack but on that day my father placed seals on jeanes powers fearing that the angels would take him away… and now those seals are gone… I don't know what to do vaggie… im so scared for jeane.'

Vaggie patted charlies back. 'Itll be ok. Well take care of it. Your dad is coming today right… well when he gets here hell help jeane and well be able to save him from the angels.'

Charlie leaned onto vaggie for comfort as they cuddled. 'Thanks vaggie.'

the pair then heard a commossion from outside and saw a figure zip past their window.

Fearing he worst they ran to jeanes room to find him missing.

Charlie freaking out turned full demon form and ran outside and yelled. 'you cant take my brother you feathered freaks!'

Charlie saw the hotel residents confusedly looking at her as they had popcorn and beer.

'Whats going on… I thought there was an angel here.' Charlie asked.

Vaggie ran out with her spear and yelled. 'wheres the angel.'

'Ladies, we were just watching the sky show and as for the angel. Look up.' Angeldust pointed upward.

Both charlie and vaggie looked up to see jeane with his wings hovering overhead with a smile.

'Hey vaggie, hey charlie… look I can do a barrel roll.' Jeane proceeded to do an aerial barrel roll trick with a yell of joy.

'Jeane Samiel Morningstar you get down here this instant.' Charlie demanded in an authoritative tone.

'charlie calm down.' Vaggie said.

Jeane flew down to charlie who crossed her arms.

'What do you think your doing young mister?' Charlie shook his head.

'I was just playing around, do air tricks with my new wings. Whats the big deal sis.' Jeane asked confused by the normally cheerful charlie taking this tone.

'And what if someone besides the residents saw you. Don't you realize that you couldve been mistaken for an angel and attacked… then where would I be grieving over my brother for being a dumb… idiot!'

Jeane froze and the other residents rubbed the back of their heads.

'Charlie why are you saying this. This isnt like you.' Jeane felt terrible.

'Go to your room. Your grounded until further notice.' Charlie exclaimed.

'What for.'

'Because I said so… now… march!' Charlie pointed toward jeanes room trying to hold her breath.

Jeane looked at her and then narrowed his eyes. 'Fine charlie… whatever.'

Jeane ran up to his room 'and don't ever come to my room ever again… I don't want to see you again.'

'Well thats fine by me!' Charlie yelled as jeane slammed the door and she saw the tears in his eyes.

'Wow, charlie that was kinda harsh wasnt it. He didn't really do anything wrong.' Angel said.

'And as for you angeldust… I have allowed you into this hotel because I want to redeem you but if you keep endangering my brother ill throw you back out onto the streets where you can suck all the dicks you want until valentino gets tired of you and finds a new cash cow.'

'Hey thats uncalled for.' Husk exclaimed

'Oh im gonna take advice from the drunk who bitches and moans about everyones life choices when hes the one who lost his soul on a card game. Hows that life choice working out for ya.' Charlie exclaimed.

Both angel and husk looked sad.

Suddenly sir pentious walked up to charlie. 'Your not being very nice.'

'Im tired of being nice! I have been nice my whole life and what has it got it. The angels wont listen to my plan, you fuckers wont even try your best to redeem yourselves and now your corrupting jeane… you know what if you keep this up ill kick every last one of you out and see how you like that.'

'Charlie!' Vaggie exclaimed grabbing her girlfriends shoulder applying some pressure. 'Enough, you don't mean any of this… now tell them sorry.'

Charlies look of angry almost instantly went away as she fell into tears. 'Oh lord, im so sorry… I I im just so scared for jeane… if the angels find out sabout his powers they will take him away from me… please everyone forgive me… im so sorry.'

Angel was first and gave her a hug. 'Hey there I understand its ok.'

Husk shrugged. 'Id be more mad if you werent so accurate as he walked up to her and nodded.'

Sir pentious meanwhile slithered up and said. 'you owe jeane the biggest apology.'

'But I only did that for his safety.'

'Yeah charlie, weve been meaning to talk with you.' Angel started.

'You cant do this to him. He deserves a chance to live his life without you coddling him.' Husk blurted out.

'I wouldnt be so rude… but yes jeane deserves his freedom.'

'But Im his keeper… I I cant let him go… I just cant let him get hurt.'

'Charlie… you have to trust jeane… besides he has those cool powers aint no one gonna hurt him.' Angel added.

'Yeah and if you want we can help him with our knowledge. We can teach him everything we know about hell. Inform him so he doesn't get taken advantage of.'

'Yes, you don't have to do this alone but if you keep treating jeane like a little bird who cant do anythign he will resent you.' Sir pentious said placing his hand on her shoulder.

'Alright I guess we can discuss it… when dad gets here well talk about teaching jeane to use his power.' charlie agreed.

'ok then, ill grab some cake from the fridge… a peace offering to appease jeane. You did kinda unfairly send him to his room.' Vaggie said as she walked back into the hotel.

The group all stood on the porch for a moment when lucifer arrived with his angel wings flying down in a bright flash of light.

'dad, nice to see you.' Charlie exclaimed running up to her father and wrapping her arms around his neck for a hug.

The devil chuckled. 'charlie, long time no talk. How have you been.'

'Good good, a little stressed.' Charlie admitted with a smile.

The devil patted her head. 'I can tell, I see your hotel is coming along. If you ever need a hand from me let me know.'

'Thanks dad, if I think of anything ill let you know.'Charlie then looked up at jeanes window which was dark.

'Everything ok… I know the seals broke which should be impossible but I can try to contact sera and see if I can get a book of angelic magic… shes still sweet on me from when I was an angel.' Lucifer gloated slicking his hair back.

'Ooh, id like to hear how youve got an angel wanting you mr. Lucifer.' Angeldust chimed in.

'Angel!' Husk slapped him. 'Not the time.'

'Ow ok.'

'No dad thats ok. Instead of suppressing jeanes power… I think hes old enough… to learn how to use them.' Charlie admitted looking at her father who was dumbfounded.

'Are you sure charlie. If the angels find out before he is ready theyll take it as me preparing a weapon for war and it will be bad.' Lucifer said.

'please dad, Ive kept jeane hostage his whole life… I need to make it up to him… show him… that I trust him as an adult you know.' Charlie begged looking her father in the eyes with big eyes.

Lucifer nodded his head. 'Youve sure grown up havent you. Your mother was a bit out of line putting that whole brothers keeper on you but you took it well and you treated jeane better then any other sibling in hell was ever treated… now your letting him go free, make his own choices, im proud of you charlie.'

Lucifer rubbed her head and leaned in to kiss it with a smile.

Charlie giggled.

Vaggie charged outside panting to herself making everyone look at her stupified.

'Jeanes gone!'

'what?' Everyone exclaimed.

'I went to the room with a piece of a cake and found a note with his hand writing on it. It says that he is running away and never coming back… we have to find him.' Vaggie says.

Lucifer took a determined look on his face. 'he cant have gotten far. Everyone fan out into the city. Husk you and me will take to the air. Vaggie you and charlie take razzle and dazzle flying around the city, angel you and sir pentious cover the ground work, and alastor use your contacts to search for him.'

the group all took their assignments and begin rushing out unaware that jeane was hiding in the shadows watching them and waiting for all of them to leave.

Jeane hated it at the hotel and this was the last straw.

The boy traveled through the shadows a power he discovered last night when he was too excited to sleep. Ever since the incident with angel dust he had been gaining new powers. The boy rode the shadows to the city until he got to the alley.

The boy exited to find himself in an alley with a drug addict passed out pipe in hand.

The boy looked around and frowned noticing the city was quite lively with people doing their sin. The boy walked into the crowd trying to remain unseen.

He looked around at the glamer of the city with a smile. The boy decided not to fly because of his families search and on que. He noticed lucifers light coming in. The boy ducked into a store unseen as lucifer flew past.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief and saw he was in a grocery store type deal and his stomach began to growl.

Rubbing his stomach the boy decided to grab a snack. Reaching into his pocket he realized he didn't grab any money… he was starving though… but stealing was risky business in hell.

Before jeane could even comtemplate the idea of taking something someone cleared their throat.

'hey there young man you look hungry.' a woman with pale skin and ash colored hair asked she didn't look like a demon but like a beautiful female human like him… then jeane realized… she was an angel.

The boy took a step back. 'what are you doing here angel… your not supposed to be here until for another month…'

the angel raised her hand to ease him. 'calm down, im not here on business… im just wanting to make sure you okay.'

'thats a lie… why would an angel care about a demon like me.' Jeane asked.

'a demon huh… last I checked demons don't manifest wings like those kids…' The angel said pointing to his wings.

'these… wings… I don't know what they mean.' jeane said feeling his stomach rumble.

The angel giggled to herself. 'lets get you something to eat and talk about it.'

Jeane watched her warily. Then at the cabobs in the rolling on the rotisserie. He licked his lips. One meal with an angel couldn't heart and maybe she could tell him about his past.

'alright I guess one cabob wont hurt anything.' Jeane said.

The angel smiled then ordered a pair of cabobs and handed jeane one. He bit into it and smiled at how fresh it was. It tasted so good it was great. He gulped it down and he smiled as he finished it.

'thank you.'

'polite for a supposed demon.' the angel said. 'my names lute by the way.

'jeane… your the one from the meeting with adam… your different when your not in a professional setting.' jeane said following lute out into the city. The pair walked down the street with jeane having his hood up and lute having a hood up too.

'yeah, well I cant be too serious all the time. Now why don't you tell me why you ran away from home.' lute asked taking jeane deeper into the city.

'its my sister… she snapped or something. I thought she was finally gonna let me be me but she has gotten more controlling then ever.'

'demons are like that jeane. They try to control and possess because there hearts have no room for love.'

'I wouldnt say that. I know charlie loves me… but she just… I mean…'

'she tries to hide you from the world. But someone like you deserves to be with your own kind.'

'my kind.' Jeane asked looking at lute as he looked around he realized they had reached the heaven embassy. 'what are we doing here.'

'I want to show you something… you were curious about your origins right. How you ended up in the care of the morningstars right… well let me show you and then youll see why you don't belong here.'

lute grabbed jeanes hand reaching up to the embassy. Looking back.

Jeane looked up and gulped. He nodded his head and followed lute into the embassy. Inside he saw the same desk this time however lute took him down into the basement. They walked lower and lower down a golden staircase until they reached the bottom where there stood a golden door with a thousand faces of cherub like angels.

'this place looks spooky.' jeane remark as lute opens the door by turning a nose of a cherub.

The boy watches as the cherubs as sing out opening their mouths with golden light then opening the door to reveal a room with a circular table in the center.

Lute enters and with a sweeping gesture smiles.

'take a look jeane this is your history.' She declares twirling around.

Jeane looked at the first image on the wall and saw a garden with a man and a woman that had a pair of horns concealed in their hair.

'thats the tale of adam and lilith… the first couple.. a failure because of liliths rebellious nature.'

Jeane nodded his head and looked at the next image which showed a more subservient woman with adam but the woman held a dagger behind her back.

'and thats adams marriage to eve… a real piece of work her… at least lilith was honest with her feelings of betrayal.'

Jeane turned to the third panel which showed two children dead by each others hand as evident by the daggers in their hand which looked similar to eves.

Lute held her hand to her mouth. 'those are caine and abel… the first two children of adam… dead by deception… orcherastated by eve.'

Jeane turned to the fourth panel showing adam holding a baby and raising it high above his head it had a halo like a crown.

The boy felt something stir in him as he remembered a song.

'he has roguish charm doesn't he.' a memory flashed and the voice it was… adams.

'what happened… what was that.'

'your memory jeane… your remembering thats good.'

'remembering what?'

Lute showed jeane the fourth panel this one shiny and new unlike the others showing an image of the baby as it grew into a boy and eventually into an young adult revealing itself to be jeane In his angel form.

Jeane backed away and shook his head. 'No… this isnt true… im a demon… im from hell.'

'Why do you cling to such a lie… your an angel jeane… like your father… like me.' Lute reached out to jeane but he pushed her hand away.

'Stay Back! Your lying… trying to confuse me… im not an angel.. certainly not a son of adam.'

Lute shook her head. 'Jeane please… your just confused… you have to remember who you are… before she took you away from us.'

'Who!'

'your mother, eve.' Lute revealed and jeane could swear he felt a shadow over him. 'no… no… it cant be true.'

'jeane please… calm down… im here for you… let me help you.'

'why! Why are you doing this…'

'because jeane. Despite what those demons have told you. Angels do what is best for the world… and the good for all man… your an angel you know this… jeane… I love you and you are mine and I wont let anyone hurt you I promise… come here give me a hug.'

Lute held her arms open wide and warmly with a smile.

Jeane froze he didn't wanna believe but he looked down.

'how do I know I can trust you.'

mother knows best by rapunzel

lute walks forward her arms still extended in a hug position: because jeane, im adams wife… and your new mother… and mother knows best.

Lute wraps jeane in a hug and he squirms out of it backing away: listen to your mommie, its a scary world out there.

Lute extends her wings and flies in front of a fleeing jeane: mother knows best, one way or another.

Jeane tries to run away but lute grabs his hand and pulls him close to her: something will go wrong I swear.

Lute then slams her fist on the circular table showing a video of sinners: Killers, Rapists, sinners of all sorts left to breed like a plague.

Lute lifts jeane to fly with her wings: not to mention the royal demons, they are the worst.

Lute then pressed jeane to her heart and starts rubbing his head like a baby: now stop no more your just gonna upset me.

Lute then looks jeane in the eye sweetly and kisses his cheek leaving a black kiss mark: now mother is here, mother will protect you… now tell her what she wants to hear.

Jeane looked to the exit but lute grabbed his head and made him look her in the eye: jeane… do you really want to go back to live with that demon… where youll never be allowed to see the beauty of heaven or earth… or do you want to be free… with me

Jeane gulped when suddenly a fireball hit lute In the head

'Get away from my son!' Lucifer yelled his form standing in the doorway of the room.

Lute glared at him then smirked. 'invading the embassy huh, that can be added to your list of crimes lucifer on top of kidnapping an angel of heaven and raising It for your rebellion.'

'what are you talking about?' Jeane asked confused.

Lute looked at lucifer glad she had won 'don't you find it weird that your only just now unlocking these powers jeane… its because lucifer kidnapped you and is preparing to use you to aid him in rebelling against heaven… how dare you manipulate someone like that devil.'

Lucifer grew angrier. 'I would never do that.'

'what about eve lucifer… you manipulated her didn't you.' Lute smirked at her own genius as always and lucifer was about to attack.

'what do you even stand to gain to take jeane away.'

'we want our family back… jeane is ours and now that we know where he is we wont stop until he is ours again… you think the angel high command hasnt already found out where he is… theyve already begun discussing lucifer raising an angel of a rank equal to a seraphim to rebel against heaven.'

'Thats a lie!'

Lute then looked at jeane 'its time to go home jeane… come with me and well be a family again.'

'No jeane… please… I know I havent been the most ideal dad… but you have to know that charlie loves you more then the world.'

'Ha, demons cant love… angels are the only ones who have the capacity for true love.' Lute gloated as if she won.

Jeane slipped out of her hand making her have a shocked look. 'Dad… is what she saying true… am I really… adams son.'

'Yes son, your adams child… but your my son.' Lucifer reached out his hand.

'Jeane… this is ridiculous your mine… come here now!' Lute commanded.

'No!'

'What did you say to me… you don't mean that young man… you know… im the only one who can love and take care of you.'

'Ive heard that before and id rather be with the family whose raised me then the one who only wants me when ive begun to show my powers.'

Lute growled as a beam of light showed up.

Mother knows best reprise by rapunzel

Lute frowned: so… thats how its gonna be.

Lute backed away laughing softly: jeane knows best, jeane is so mature now… such a smart and grown up sir.

Lute laughs a little louder as she is closer to the light jeane looks as she reaches behind her back: jeane knows best well if that is the case then maybe you should put your dad to the test

Lute reached behind her back pulling out a half gold half red halo with a black star with a white center over it: this halos want he wants… put it on and youll see what he truly is.

Lute reaches the lute: but when you find out hes lying… don't you dare come crying… mother… knows best.

Jeane watched lute leave in a beam of light and lucifer looked up at her frowning. He turned his head towards his son and his face softened…

'jeane buddy, what were you thinking.' He started, his voice soft like a whisper.

'Its charlie… I don't know whats came over her but I cant live like this anymore… I don't want to be a prisoner dad.' Jeane exclaimed.

Lucifer nodded his head. 'I think charlie realized that before you left…. Jeane, its not entirely her fault… did you know that on day you came into our lives… your mother made charlie promise to keep you safe no matter what… she made charlie affirm that she would be your keeper.'

Jeane looked up amazed. 'really, I had no idea.'

'Its true your mother loved you more then anything and she could go a little overboard… charlies the same way… now I know you don't want to go back to being stuck in your room so hows about this… you come home and we will make sure that you can see the world… earth, hell, anywhere.'

'You mean it dad.' Jeane asked his eyes sparkling.

Lucifer smiled wrapping his arms around his son. 'Son have I ever lied to my own children before.'

Jeane was about to say something but lucifer raised a finger.

'Dont answer that.'

the pair left the embassy with their wings flying toward the hotel smiling all the way. Jeane and lucifer waited by the hotel for everyone to come back.

Meanwhile jeane was looking up at heaven and wondering what was gonna happen next.

'Dont worry about them jeane… they wont take you from me. I promise you that.'

both lucifer and jeane embraced as the sound wings in the distance caught their attention.

'Jeane!' Charlie exclaimed running to jeane and wrapping him in a hug lifting him off his feet and holding him close to her. 'im so so so sorry… ill never try to keep you imprisoned again.'

Jeane smiled as he wrapped her in a hug 'I know charlie and im sorry for running away.'

'well I guess alls well that ends well.' Vaggie said with a smile.

Suddenly a beam of light shot down to reveal an angel in a white robe with two wings and gray skin revealing a scroll.

'Charlie morningstar, vaggie, and jeane morningstar you have been summoned before the celestial courthouse of heaven to discuss several matters the chief of which is the matter of your attempts to rehabilate sinners. Your attendence is of course mandatory we will see you in one week.'

a golden light shot out and the angel left leaving everyone dumb founded.

'Well fuck!' Lucifer and vaggie exclaimed.

Chapter Text

jeane was running away surrounded by the snow covered garden.

'where you go I go?' a voice sung… this one unfamiliar but feeled the boy with unease as he ran tripping over his own feet.

Three golden lights followed behind him as he looked back.

The boy picked himself up and continued running toward the big tree in the center of the woods.

'What you see I see.' the female voice said in a sing song voice.

Jeane reached the tree and stopped in front of it crying to himself. 'hello… mom! Anybody… please… I don't want to be alone.'

Jeane curled into a ball. The lights surrounded him revealing themselves to be adam, lute and a third bigger angel that jeane didn't recognize.

'come home jeane… you belong with us.' the head angel floated over him and leaned down reaching for jeane.

Jeane pulled away only for the tree to whisper to him.

'Do you want to be free?'It asked the tree roots turning black making the angels back away in fear.

Jeane reached up to the tree and a tendril flew down and jeane felt it wrap around his arm and with a shock and a scream he saw a flash of a creature a monster.

A being made of nothing but tendrils and mouths filled with jagged teeth.

Jeane awoke cuddled next to charlie. The boy looked at her with a frown.

'im sorry charlie, if I had listened… then the angels wouldnt be bothering us.' Jeane looked down as she tightened her grip on him.

The boy held her close and wrapped his arm around her. Jeane looked at charlie. 'No matter what, ill do whatever it takes to make sure your safe… just like you did for me.'

Jeane kissed his sisters forehead and held her close to him softly crying into her shoulder

the next day everyone was getting ready for their day in heaven which if the invite was correct would be a whole week of litigation.

Charlie had packed everyones bags, jeane and vaggie meanwhile were making sure the hotel was ok and safe.

'Ok, husk is in charge while were gone. Angels friend cherri bomb is gonna take you guys out drinking in a couple days and charlie has left some money for you guys to have fun on… don't go crazy remember you are here to be redeemed.' Vaggie instructed.

Jeane meanwhile was helping nifty out of the toilet. He helped her get out all wet. 'Look at you nift, all wet. Come on lets dry your hair before you catch cold.'

Nifty grabbed jeane with a hug and held him close. 'Dont go… please… I don't want you to go.'

'Nifty. Its gonna be ok.'

'No its not. Your the only boy who treats me like a friend outside of the rest… I don't want you to die by those mean angels… your my friend.' Nifty cried into his shoulder and jeane rubbed his back.

Jeane shushed him and patted her back. 'don't cry nifty… they wont hurt me. Hey, when I come back… hows about we go out for some ice cream just the two of us.'

Nifty calmed down a bit rubbing her sniveling nose. 'Really? You promise to come back.'

'pinkie promise.' Jeane extended his pinkie to her and they pinkie swore.

Jeane put her down and let her run free watching as angel walked up to him with a smile. 'so your also an angel huh… I knew there was a reason I liked you.'

The boy smiled at that. 'your hilarious angie… have fun with cherri bomb.'

'I think sir pentious has a crush on her. If only you were here we could tease him together.' Angel said with a smile.

The boy and angle smiled.

'Hey, don't let those feather fuckers run roughshod over ya ok. Your one of ours kid.' Angel said pounding his fist to his chest.

Jeane smiled at that 'Thanks angel… you know, for someone who thinks redemption is a joke… your turning into someone im proud to call a friend.'

Angel blushed and turned from jeane with a smile. 'Yeah well, you don't have to be so corny… geez.'

The boy smiled walking up to sir pentious. 'Pen I hear your developing a bit of a crush on miss cherri bomb.'

'What!? Who told you?' Sir pentious asked surprised.

Jeane shook his head. 'Pen, if you love her, tell her… your a great guy.'

Sir pentious smiled and wrapped jeane in a hug and cried. 'I wish I knew you when I was alive I would have made you my second in command.'

Jeane patted his back and laughed. 'We wouldve raised some hell.'

Sir pentious nodded his head.

Jeane continued on walking up to husk. 'you okay with watching over the place.'

'Yeah, ill try to keep this rickety place in one piece but don't you let those holy rollers get too high and mighty… they do anything you rush home… and ill take care of them.'

Jeane smiled. 'Come on husk, im an angel too… if they do anything ill make sure they regret it.'

The cat demon smirked patted jeane on the shoulder. 'Youve grown these last five months kid and im proud of you… alastor wants to see you before you go.'

Jeane nodded his head. He hadnt talked with alastor since the incident with his deal. He remembered he owed that demon a favor and he would eventually call it in.

Jeane walked upstairs and continued to the radio tower.

Alastor was sitting in a chair with a smile and waiited for jeane.

'A homecoming to heaven awaits you doesn't it jeane.' Alastor said with his charasteristic smile

'You knew I was the son of adam and eve didn't you.'

Alastors smile never left him. 'Of course I did kid, I know all about you. Your very interesting to me.'

'What am I alastor… why is everyone so interested in me… what is the meaning of the my dreams… and what is the apple in my chest.' jeane knew alastor was the key to all his answers.

The radio demon clicked his tongue and shook his head. 'All in good time jeane. I told you that before… but I didn't call you here for that.'

Jeane raised an eyebrow as alstor reached into his coat and pulled out a small gift box. 'a housewarming gift for you… don't open it until the last day of heaven when charlie has returned to the hotel.'

Jeane took the box and looked at it but decided to listen. The shadows wrapped around him and teleported him to the center of the hotel where charlie was holding the bags and vaggie was glaring at alastor.

'Remember what I said jeane and please have fun… enjoy your vacation.'

'Whatever do you mean.' Before jeane could get an answer the portal opened and charlie called them to enter. The first one to go in was vaggie followed by charlie. Jeane took in a breath, turned his head to the hotel and with a wave goodbye went inside the portal.

Coming out of the other side of the portal lead the trio to a golden bridge of light which trailed toward a golden wall upon which stood an angel with a book.

The three hell born visitors walked up to the gate.

'uh hello,' Charlie called.

The angel immediately zipped down with a big smile on his face. 'Hello there, welcome to heaven. Nice to see you.'

'Nice to see you too, we have an appointment.' Charlie admitted.

'Can I get a name.' The man asked pulling out his book.

'Charlie.'

The angel began thumbing through his book mumbling to himself. The more he did though the more distressed he seemed to become. Eventually he looked up at them.

'Can I get a last name, there are a lot of charlies here.' The angel said.

'Uh Morningstar.' Charlie admitted with frown.

The angel froze and giggled to himself. 'Oh uh, are you sure your where you need to be… you may need to turn around.'

'Thats quite alright Saint peter… they are exactly where they need to be.' A voice called out flying down overhead was a woman in a blue and white dress with six wings and beside her was another smaller angel with six wings that looked almost like her smaller version.

'Sure thing lady sera.' The saint saluted her.

Sera flew down in front of the sinners 'Welcome emmissaries of hell, I am sera, the head of the angelic council and this is my apprentice emily.'

Emily meanwhile was looking at jeane her eyes as big as dinner plates.

'Emily?' Sera nudged her slightly amused.

Emily sputtered then looked at them embarrassed. She flew forward 'its a pleasure to meet you all… I hope you enjoy your week in heaven.'

'Thank you, im charlie, this is my girlfriend vaggie, and this little charmer is my brother jeane… hes single.' Charlie teased knowing well what that look from emily was.

Both jeane and emily blushed at her words.

'Im sorry about her, shes a bit of a meddler… its nice to meet you, ive never meet an angel around my size before.' Jeane started reaching out his hand for a handshake.

Emily took it her flush growing. 'Its my pleasure to make your… stay… in heaven a great one.'

'Wow, your hand is kinda clammy, are you ok.' Jeane was inspecting her hand but emily pulled it away.

'Im fine…' she then looked jeane up and down with a smile. 'I like your wings.'

'Thanks I got them a couple weeks ago… but I like yours better… there very pretty.' jeane admitted but then realizing what he said immediately froze.

'Pretty? You think my wings are?' Emily let out a little squeak which made jeanes heart flutter.

Charlie meanwhile was taking pictures. 'Look at him vaggie, his first crush… isnt it adorable.'

'Do you think its wise charlie, letting jeane get so close with an angel… remember why were here.'

'Oh vaggie, they just want to talk about the hotel it will be fine. Besides look at them, they are adorable… sera I think we should totally chaperone a little date between them two.' Charlie suggested to angel unaware that sera was watching jeane very closely.

Sera looked at jeane interact with emily like a puma would look at a wounded deer with a hunger that could not be withstood…

'I think your right miss charlie… jeane and emily would look so cute on a date. You know I have a nice little suit that he would look so adorable in don't you think.'

'Yes! That would be so cool. Thanks miss sera.' Charlie said with a big grin.

'Please charlie, call me auntie, me and your father were very close before his fall you know…' Sera said trying to hide her scowl.

'Really how close.' Charlie asked confused.

'Lets just say that your not the only one who would sleep and bath with your sibling when you were little.' Sera admitted. The pair watched jeane and emily stood akwardly.

'Watch this.' Sera whispered to charlie. 'Emily?'

'Yes sera.' Emily asked dropping out of her day dreaming stupor.

'Why don't you welcome jeane with a proper heaven kiss on the cheek.' Sera tapped her cheek with a smile.

Emily flushed and so did jeane.

Charlie smirked and then looked at jeane. 'Jeane you do it too ok.'

Jeane leaned in and whispered. 'Im sorry for my sister.'

'Im sorry for mine.' Emily said.

Jeane kissed emilys cheek and it felt nice and cool.

Emily returned the favor and the pair smiled as they flushed.

'Daw, arent they just adorable.' charlie cooed meanwhile vaggie glared at sera who looked at her with a blank expression which then edged a smirk.

'Alright everyone we have a big day today. The first day of court will be in three days so until lets see all that heaven has to offer.' Sera exclaimed a sickly sweet tone to her voice as she flew over jeane and emily.

'Yeah!' Charlie cheered wrapping her arm around vaggie. 'Its been forever since weve had a date night babe… hows about we do a date right now.'

'But charlie what about jeane?' Vaggie nodded her head toward jeane.

'Oh hell be fine.' Charlie then leaned in. 'Besides I wanna give him a chance with that emily girl, I like her and if jeane can get a girlfriend like you then I know he will be ok.'

Vaggie blushed then froze. 'What do you mean like me.'

'Lets go!' Charlie charged forward with an angel leading them away from jeanes group.

Emily and jeane walked side by side with sera behind them smiling.

'So we have a zoo, the ice cream shop, the amusement park. Theres so much to do.' Emily said excited.

'Im fine to do whatever you wanna do.' Jeane said looking around amazed at the angels.

'First time seeing your own kind isnt it jeane.' Sera said as a matter of fact.

'Yeah, I guess you already know im a son of adam… he isnt here today is he.' Jeane was nervous, he didn't want to see his birth father or lute because that was a awkard encounter he hoped to avoid.

'Not today he is in board meetings… but jeane… he is your birth father. It would be a great favor if you would take at least one day to meet him. I understand his wife was a bit forceful with you but she only wanted to save you and someone with her background doesn't understand delicacy of the situation.' Sera explained.

Jeane looked at seras eyes and couldn't look away. 'Alright, ill spend a couple hours with adam but im not gonna call him dad or anything. Lucifer is my dad.'

Sera smiled. 'Thats fine jeane… youll see we arent as bad as your dad makes us out to be.'

the group eventually arrived at a zoo where there were a bunch of animals. The first animal they saw were the brown bears.

'Wow, their so big…' Jeane was amazed.

Sera placed her hand on jeanes shoulders and pointed to a brown bear with a small cub cuddling. 'bears are very maternal protecting their cubs with a fierce devotation. We angels are the same way. Tell me jeane, did you have a strong relationship with lilith.'

Jeane nodded his head. 'Yeah, I love my mom and she loves me.'

Sera watches him. 'Of course but I must ask jeane… where is she now.'

'What?'

'I don't mean to be rude but she abandoned you when you were 11 and hasnt been seen since not a very maternal thing to do. If you were raised by an angel we would never have done that to you.' Sera said pulling jeane a little clsoer to you.

'Your kinda hurting me.'

'Im sorry, its just when I see someone abandoned by the person who is supposed to love them most… it breaks my heart.' Sera reached into her dressed and pulled out a hankerchef and wiped away tears from her eyes.

'Its ok I have charlie… she stepped in I guess.'

'But didn't she keep you locked away in a hotel for most of your young life. Not allowing you to see anyone outside of her choosing.' Sera said moving jeane to her side rubbing his head and making him feel oddly warm.

'What are you doing.'

'You don't have to be scared of affection jeane. This is how a angel shows their love… you know when I look at you I see your dad… your adopted dad… wont you let me love you like I loved him.'

Jeane pulled away and bumped into emily who fell over.

'Oh im so sorry emily.' Jeane said helping her up.

'Its fine jeane' Emily said rubbing her head.

Jeane looked back at sera who was gone.

The boy shook his head 'so uh, whats seras deal.'

'What do you mean.'

'She was touching me all weird and asking me to let me love her like she loved my dad.'

'Adam?'

'No lucifer.'

Emilys face looked like she realized. 'oh, I know what you mean. Sera and lucifer were twins born from the making. Sera was lucifers elder by a few moments and loved him very much but when he rebelled it broke her heart. I guess when she looks at you… she sees a way to reclaim what she lost… don't hold ti against her.'

Jeane felt emily touch his back as she pointed to the favorite animals. The penguins.

'Look at them, arent they cute.' She cooed pointing to the small black and white birds.

Jeane looked at the open dome of the white ice exhibit. 'Shouldnt their be a dome so they don't fly away.'

'Jeane, penguins cant fly.' Emily explained.

Jeane looked down confused. 'But theyre birds… and they have wings.'

'Yeah, there little bodies don't have the ability to maintain flight.' Emily explained.

'But that is just cruel… whats the point of giving something wings if it isnt able to fly.' Jeane looked down at the penguin.

'Well they may not be able to fly but they are really cute arent they.' Emily looked at jeane with big eyes and he felt his heart melt with a smile.

'Yeah they are.'

The pair of them walked up to the next animal the elephants.

'Woah, those things are huge.' Jeane said with a smile pointing up at them.

Emily snickered at jeanes amusement. 'Yeah those are… there called elephants. They are pack animals. They are very smart and have great memories but regretably humans hunt them for their tusks.'

'thats terrible.' Jeane exclaimed looking up at the gentle giant in front of him.

'I know right, how you could hunt something like this just for sport.' Emily said in a voice that showed passion against hunting.

'I agree…' Jeane said liking the passion in emilies voice.

'I mean I get hunting something to feed yourself and your family but humans don't even need to hunt anymore but they still do it for fun… hunting wasnt meant for sport… it just burns me up thinking of humans hurting these innocent creatures.'

Jeane couldn't help but be entranced by the angels speech. 'emily your so passionate…'

Emily stopped her rant as she flushed and covered her mouth. 'sorry, Im not supposed to let my temper get the best of me in public but it just hurts me to see innocent creatures in pain.'

Jeane looks down at the elephant and thinks about the excorism. 'what about the angels who kill sinners.'

'what?'

'you know the excorisms?'

'jeane, what are you talking about?'

'You don't know?' Jeane realized something then and there… angels kept the excorism secret from each other which meant someone was covering it all up and since sera was the head angel… that only left her.

Jeane turned his head but before he could answer he felt a prescence.

Sera was behind them both.

'I brought popcorn.' She said in a sing song voice with two big tubs of popcorn in her hand. 'one for you, and one for you.'

Jeane took it and notice that the popcorn was white. The boy felt himself grow hungry.

'so what were you talking about.' sera puts her hands on jeane and emilys shoulder.

'well jeane was telling me some alarming story about…' Emily started but one look into seras eyes made her quiet down. 'nothing sera… im sorry.'

Sera smiled and then looked at jeane and leaned down then whispered. 'why don't I show you my favorite animal.'

sera lead the pair to the lion exhibit where a single male lion was standing over a harem of female lionesses.

'look over there jeane you see that lion on top. That lion is the alpha. He leads the pride and is the only lion allowed to mate.' Sera said holding jeanes shoulder in a tight grip with a smile.

'interesting.'

'See he is in charge of those lionesses… but the lionesses are the ones to watch. They will do anything to protect their heard. In thank the alpha is more of a figure head then anything… the lionesses are the real power… and they will do… anything… to keep that power.'

Each word filled jeane with worry as he shook then pulled him close and rubbed his temple.

'well im hungry, hows about lunch.' sera then smiled as she lead the scared pair to the restaurant in the zoo.

Emily and jeane ordered their meal and sera handed them a plate of chicken tenders and fries with a burger each.

'So jeane, how do you like heaven so far.' Sera asked, biting into a burger.

Jeane took a sip of soda watching her warily. 'I like it well enough… but I prefer my home…'

Sera hummed to herself. 'do you think that hell is truly a home for you.'

'Yeah, its where ive lived for the last 18 years of my life.' Jeane said eating his food.

Sera smirked as jeane ate and leaned down and kissed his forehead making him blush.

'Gotcha.' She teased.

Emily snickered. 'she did get you.'

'What?' jeane asked confused.

'its a game me and sera play, its called gotcha. You kiss someone you love and say gotcha and they have to do it back…'

Jeane looked at sera who had a mischievous smirk as she extended her cheek.

Jeane gulped and leaned forward Lightly kissing her cheek. 'Gotcha' he said nervously.

Sera and emily giggle and whilst doing so sera leaned in toward emily and kissed her cheek. 'gotcha emily'

Emily laughed so heartily then looked at jeane and flushed. She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. 'gotcha jeane.'

Jeane was red faced and one look at sera who smiled at him creepily. 'Its your turn jeane.'

Jeane looked at emily leaned in and kissed her cheek making her audibly squeak. 'Gotcha.'

the pair of them blushed at that.

Sera meanhwhile watched them both with a smile as she ate her food.

Jeane plopped down on his bed exhausted from his first day in heaven. The hotel that the seraphim put him and his sister and vaggie in was very nice with two beds one for them and one for him.

Charlie was ecstatic about today remarking how she and vaggie had a dinner date, went on a swan boat, and a carriage ride and that tommorrow they were gonna see a flight show with the seraphim.

Jeane looked up and smiled he touched his cheek where emily had kissed him.

He remembered her sweet little squeak, her adorable laugh, and how cute she was when she smiled.

He admired her passion and her drive.

But his thoughts went to how even she didn't know about the extermination. That wasnt right that someone as sweet as her was being lied too along with all of heaven.

The boy sighed as he though about her.

'Thinking about your girlfriend jeane.' Charlie teased sticking out her tongue.

'No!' Jeane exclaimed then rolled away from charlie. 'And she isnt my girlfriend.'

'Uh huh, keep telling yourself that. Sera showed me some interesting pictures from day at the zoo today.' Charlie said walking up to jeane showing him pictures taken of him holding emilys hand.

'That doesn't mean anything.' Jeane was flushed.

'And those little kisses you gave her at the dinner did those mean nothing.' Charlie teased once again.

'Sera told you about that! So embarrassing!' Jeane threw his pillow at charlie who caught it.

'My little man is falling in love.' Charlie said laying down behind jeane and rubbing his back. 'Its ok jeane, she is very pretty and nice… if you want to date her you have my permission.'

'Charlie its not like that I swear.' Jeane got up and took a walk toward the door. 'Im getting a soda from the machine.'

'Right behind you little bro.' Charlie said with a smile.

Wont say im in love by hercules.

Charlie follows jeane down the hall with a smile as she sings: If theres a prize for rotten judgement… then youve already won that.

Jeane walks faster trying to get away but charlie is catching up: sis this isnt worth the aggravation.

They both turn and look at each other: the conflicts ancient history, been there done that.

Charlie meanwhile starts dancing and swaying: who you think you kidding, shes the earth and heaven to ya.

Jeane looked at the window and saw in the reflection emily smiling at him: You cant deny the feeling that she gives to ya

Jeane turned from the reflection: no chance, no way, I wont say im in love.

Charlie meanwhile wraps arms around jeane and swing around the floor: you swoon, you smile, why deny it ohoh.

Jeane releases himself then walks away to the elevator: its too cliché I wont say im in love.

The door then reveals pictures of emily in his head. All the happy memories of today: no I wont say it, I cant say it… give off my case I wont say it.

Charlie meanwhile smiles as jeane smiles: boy don't be proud say it loud your in love.

Jeane looks away: I wont say it aloud but I guess im in love.

Jeane froze realized what he just admitted to charlie as her eyes got big and she grabbed him in a hug.

'Charlie I don't know what to do… do I get her a gift… Ive never liked someone like that before.' Jeane was a nervous wreck and charlie chuckled to herself.

The demoness wrapped her arm around her brother and pulled him toward their room: Baby bro, I saw a little shop today that would be perfect, well get emily a nice box of chocolates, some flowers, and a gift.

'Charlie… what if she doesn't feel the same way.' Jeane said voicing his fear.

Charlie laughed to herself. 'Jeane, my sweet boy, I think that is the least of your worries… I know she likes you as much as you like her now lets go get you into your jam jams.'

Jeane nodded his head 'Okay.'

Meanwhile in the seraphims home emily was drawing in her sketchbook. She loved drawing pretty things in there and today she was drawing something new and pretty.

She had never been interested in boys before being too busy with her duties but seeing jeane did something to her. His unique eyes, his beautiful white skin, and his kind soul.

Emily drew more and more until she completed the drawing with a smile.

'Emily, bed time… we have a long day with the hellborn tommorrow and I want you rested.' Sera said coming seeing emily drawing and smiling.

Emily was about to close her book but sera raised her hand. 'Let me see' she said sweetly.

Emily looked away embarrassed but handed her book to sera who looked inside and smiled. 'this ones new… he really made an impact on you didn't he.'

Emily nodded her head.

'Do you like him.'

'I do like… but what do you mean by like.'

'I mean do you like him in a romantic way.'

Emily froze then flushed looking away. 'I don't know, I don't think he likes me that way.'

'Why wouldnt he.'

'Well im just so plain… he probably likes hellborn girls who are cool and have their own style.'

'Emilia Seras Seraphim, you are not plain… you are a beautiful radiant archangel and everyone up here loves you… that boy is no different. I can tell.'

Emily asked her eye filled with hope. 'Really.'

'Promise. Now the question is do you like him like that.'

Just some guy

emily looks away from sera: its not like I stay up thinking… about his unique eyes.

Emily then flutters to the window where she sees the hotel jeane is staying: its not like every hour im suppressing tingly tummy butterflies.

Sera meanwhile turns the page in the sketch book and smiles as she sees a heart with emily and jeanes name inside it: its not like I filled a notebook up listing the things we might talk about.

Emily then grasped her chest and smiled at that thought of her and jeane being a coupled: its not like even now im resisting the urge to ask him out.

Emily uses her magic to summon light to form a fantatsy world where she and jeane are flying through the air and having fun: I mean wed have fun, its not like he is the one, sure hes adorably shy, but hes just some guy.

Emily flies down from the fantasty with light jeane holding his hand: its not like ive drawn up plans for our wedding.

Sera raises her eyebrow at emily who looks back nervously: because that is a totally stalkerish thing to do.

Emily then flies up with jeane and does a barrelroll: its not like even now im dreading what id do if he only knew.

Emily and light jeane fly around and then free fall looking into each others eyes: I mean I have a shot, he is totally hot… but when he looks at me.

Emily floats down as light jeane becomes nothing: does all he see… is just some girl.

Sera smiles as she gives emily a hug then lifts her and flies toward their bed.

'I really like jeane sera… too bad he has to go back to hell after the week is over.' emily snuggling into seras chest falling asleep.

Sera smiled at emily falling asleep in her chest as she floated toward their bed. 'Well see about that emily… you may be surprised about where jeane is gonna be staying for the foreseeable future.'

the next couple days were fun with charlie and vaggie chaperoning jeane and emilies date with sera also chaperoning.

But the day finally came for the first court date. Charlie was smiling as she thought how this was it. She and vaggie talked about what they had to say to get the angels to endorse the hotel. The group all hoped today would be the day that the hazbin hotel would finally get some progress.

Jeane meanwhile couldn't shake the bad feeling he got from sera and how whenever charlie or vaggie werent looking she would touch him and kiss him like she was familiar.

Jeane made sure to stay close to his sister and her girlfriend whenever sera was around especially after sera whispered in his ear the day before that heaven was such a nice place and that jeane would never wanna leave.

The boy didn't trust sera one bit but he kept his mouth shut as he knew this was charlies chance to get heaven behind her plan.

The group all made their way to the court where they were lead to the plaintiff pew which sat at the bottom of the courthouse. Over them were a council of 13 angels with sera and emily being beside each other at the top.

'we begin the first hearing between heaven and the daugther of lucifer mornignstar. This meeting will determine whether we believe sinners can be redeemed and if this hotel deserves heavens support. Morningstar has the floor.' Sera was an expert of the court as she had all their ears.

Charlie sat up and was about to start when someone cleared their throat.

'Sorry im late, I just got back from my mission and had to stop by the gift shop.' Adam came flying in with an epic guitar solo and lute flying behind him with a smile.

Charlie frowned and vaggie held jeane close.

Adam flew down and walked up to the podium looking at charlie. 'hey trying to go over my head, thats cool I guess…'

'Why are you here?' Charlie growled.

'What a father cant say hi to his son.' Adam looked at jeane.

Charlie turned partial demon form 'hes not your son!'

Adam stuck his hand up 'wow there we don't want to lose our heads now do we.'

Lute meanwhiel had her hand on a sword at her hip.

Jeane grabbed charlie hand. 'Charlie, its ok… don't let it get to you.'

Charlie looked at jeane her face softened as she turned back to normal.

'Now, before we continue I want to say welcome home to my precious baby boy.' Adam said with a smile. Walked up to jeane with his arms extended.

'Well don't just stand there, give your old man a hug.' Adam smiled.

Jeane stayed froze.

'Oh I see whats going on… your scared of lute. Look kid, despite what she did a week ago she isnt a bad person. She just gets a little overzelous… hey danger tits go up in our podium and wait for me your scaring our kid.' Adam instructed and lute saluted.

'See that charlie, thats what a wife should be dutiful to her husband unlike your mother.' adam said walking up to look charlie in the eye when sera slapped her gavel.

'order! Order! This court will not be tolerate another interruption.' Sera exclaimed.

Adam nodded his head and flew up to the podium next to lute as charlie was about to say something when a camera turned on revealing a globe that showed a nightclub with the group from the hotel all having their fun.

'Whats going on?' Jeane asked.

'Im glad you asked kid.' Adam said with a smile. 'well since your sister has been with these sinners for the past 5 months then why not see how well she has redeemed them by seeing their activities.'

'I concur that is a good show of evidence.' Sera said.

Jeane looked up and felt something that he hadnt felt since he came to heaven… a feeling of satisfication between sera and adam… his powers were dulled when he came to heaven he found but now he felt it their overflowing joy and satisfication.

They had planned all this… they had set up charlie.

The first scene played up and the group were drinking and all was good.

Angel dust was the one on full display as him and cherri were talking. Nifty was trying to clean everything and pen tried buying a cherri a drink but ended up buying the whole bar a drink.

'so angie, you still like to party.' cherri said showing her sleeve of drugs.

Jeane shook his head… 'come on angel dust, we just got rid of your drug caches last month… come on man youve been clean for a month don't fuck it up.'

Angeldist was about to take it when husk grabbed his shoulder.

'you sure you wanna fuck up right now.' husk said trying to help.

'its just one night.' Angel dust said.

'Its never just one angel you know this.' Jeane said, disheartened remembering how he helped angel with his withdrawals for the weeks following the drug addiction.

'Yeah you big cat, its just one drug.' cherri said with a smirk.

'Whatever.' Husk scoffed turning from them as angel dust snorted the drug.

Jeane was forced to look away… he hated how he felt betrayed.

The angels above all talked amongst themselves.

'see hes still the same sinner he was six months ago.' Adam said with a smirk and smile.

'thats right, all she is doing is enabling him.'

'Keep playing it, im sure angel dust will surprise you.' Charlie pleaded.

Jeane looked at sera and felt a kinda sadistic pleasure when she looked down at charlie and then felt something darker when she looked at him.

'Ill allow it.' Her smile sent chills down jeanes spine as they contined to watch the feed of the night continue as they drank more and more.

Jeane and charlie watched with bated breath as the group all looked up at the nifty getting a little too drunk and angel stopping her from drinking any more.

Angel acted nice to nifty making charlie and jeane proud thats when a complication came… valentino.

He was in the club with a bunch of sluts all around him drinking and laughing.

Nifty meanwhile ran off while angel was in crisis and angel found her taking cleaning supplies trying to clean the floor but angel stopped her saying she couldn't steal.

Angel called her a mess and made nifty cry but made her feel better by playing with husk.

The night went on and the hopes of the hazbin crew went up until nifty ran up to valentino and angel had to stop her.

Valentino made light of angel and laughed at him. He even suggested taking a soul deal with nifty. But angel stuck up for her and everyone in the council was surprised even the seraphim.

Jeane could feel their hearts turning adam meanwhile was sour and lute was pissed.

Jeane looked up and then whispered at charlie.

'look at them, theyre coming around.'

Charlie nodded her head with determination.

The day ended with angel getting struck and when jeane saw that something in him snapped. He felt the bit of himself that destroyed those sinners before come back… he wanted to destroy valentino and the pressure was felt by all the angels.

Only sera, charlie, and emily could see that jeanes back was beginning to sprout a second pair of wings these ones mostly black with white and red tips but one touch from vaggie made jeane calm himself and make them retract.

Sera banged her gavel and the globe turned off.

Charlie looked up smug and happy. 'so sera I have to say it was a good race but now you have to admit that my hotel is doing good work to redeem sinners.'

'He does seem to be turning around… but if your hotel really did work wouldnt he be here by now… maybe sinners just cant be redeemed.' Sera said.

Emily shook her head at sera. 'sera what are you saying. I looked in his heart he wasnt pure but he was becoming a good person.'

'Emily enough… we will speak of this no further… this trial was a formality in order to get the hellborn to heaven…' Sera admitted.

'So you never intended to listen to my plan… you just wanted us here. Why?' Charlie looked at jeane.

'You charlie morningstar have been in possession of one jeane son of adam for 18 years. We the angels of heaven were just now made known of this six months ago by adam and have decided now is the time to determine whether jeane should stay in hell with you hellborn or in heaven with his own kind.' Seras face darkened.

Vaggies eyes widened. 'you heartless bitch… your gonna try to take jeane from us.'

'Jeane isnt your property… he is adams son, and you basically kidnapped him and brainwashed him into loving you hellborne.' Lute exclaimed glaring at vaggie the pair of girls looked about to strike at each other before jeane and adam stopped them.

'Stop this! The decision will not be up to this court we will simply allow both sides to make their case between now and the last day of the helleborns stay upon that day in front of the entire court jeane will decide who he wants to stay with.' Sera said waving her hand to jeane.

'But to make sure that jeane isnt influenced improperly he will be required to spend the remainder of his time split between his birth father and his wife and his hellborne guardians and he will be moved into my quarters to make sure that neither side has access to him outside of their alloted timeslot.'

'Wait, don't I get a say in this. I want to stay with charlie and vaggie,' Jeane said to everyone.

'look at that, they turn my own son against me… its just like with cain and abel.' adam cried into his hands and lute comforted him.

'havent you hellborn taken enough from this poor man… cant you leave his children alone.' Lute yells but jeane could tell she was proud but surprising adams sadness was not completely faked… he was actually hurt by jeane wanting to stay with charlie.

'Enough! My decision is final. Jeane will be escorted to his new living arrangement post haste and we will send for his stuff immediately. Both of you will receive your schedule for jeane and be allowed one phone call a day to talk to him. Court ajourned.'

Jeane was immediately surrounded by angelic cherubs while charlie was lead away by excorists while calling out for jeane.

Jeane was teleported to a big ball room of golden décor. He looked around at the surroundings trying to get his bearings.

The boy saw a door and decided to run towards it. As he was about to open it the door opened itself to reveal sera.

'Jeane.' Sera said a smile on her face. 'I wish to welcome you to our humble home.' sera bowed to him.

The boy backed away with fear. 'I I want to see charlie.' He stammered feeling seras power radiating off her and knew how much stronger she was then him.

'All in due time my dear boy. Tommorrow charlie and adam will have their turn… but why so tense… your not a prisoner.' Sera fly closer to jeane.

'Stay back… what are you doing.' Jeane was about to run when he felt his legs lock.

'You poor child, youve been so locked away from your own kind that you fear the love of heaven… come here let big sis sera show you that heaven isnt as bad as you think.' Sera leans down and cups jeanes head even though he tries to resist.

'Let go. no.' He thrashes but sera is so strong that she holds him tight.

The angel softly kisses jeane on the forehead leaning blue lipstick on his forehead. Jeane is about to wipe it away when sera grabs his hand.

'Dont you dare!' She exclaims her body covering itself with eyes. Sera takes a breath and calms herself. 'Its rude to wipe away a womans kiss.'

'Ill never love heaven or adam… I want to go home with charlie.' Jeane pulled away nearly falling but sera grabs his hand.

She sighs and shakes her head. 'Your very selfish arent you. Not even willing to listen to my deal before acting so high and mighty.'

'What are you talking about?'

'I was gonna end the excorism if you behaved yourself… no matter what you chose I was gonna stop the slaugther of your people so charlie wouldnt bother us with her redemption plan… but I guess ill just have to let adam and his angels do as they please.'

Sera released jeane and was about to fly away but jeane looked up at her with despair.

'Wait!'

Sera smiled sinisterly. 'Yes jeane.'

'Please, im sorry, Ill be good… just please… stop the excorism… I promise ill be on my best behaviour.' Jeane begged, he wanted charlie to get something for all this.

Sera turned with a smile on her face. 'you promise to behave.'

Jeane nodded with tears in his eyes.

Sera flew toward jeane hovering over head. 'there, there, don't cry… big sis sera is gonna take care of everything.'

Sera lifted jeane and held him like he was an infant which compared to her tall size he was.

'when you said those hurtful things that broke my heart… are you sorry for that.'

'y-yes sera.' Jeane mumbled.

Sera nodded and then looked at jeane and turned her cheek with a smile. 'Kiss my cheek and well make up.'

Jeane leaned up reluctantly and kissed sera on a cheek making her smile.

'now lets get you in your pjs and ready for tommorrow… if your a good boy I may be convinced to give you a cookie before bed…'

'Ok… can I call charlie. Please.' Jeane asked.

'No, but if you are a good boy ill let you call her tommorrow after breakfast… lets get you dressed.' Sera flew toward the bathroom.

Jeane looked away and frowned.

'Jeane.'

'Y-yes…'

'I love you.' Sera looked down with a sinister smile and a look of possessive love in her eyes.

Jeane looked away disgusted.

'Say it back jeane… your not being very nice.' Sera gripped him tight making him groan in pain.

'Sera your hurting me.'

'Im tired of giving my love and not getting it back. You may be raised by lucifer but you will not ignore me like he did… now say it.' She growled nearly snapping jeane.

'I I love you sera… please…' Jeane cried.

Sera gave herself a happy smile and kissed his forehead 'im sorry baby, big sis let her temper get the best of her… lets go to bed and make up with cuddles ill let you warm yourself with my wings…. Would you like that.'

Jeane looked up and nodded weakly.

'Good boy… im gonna call you My little morningstar… thats what I called your adoptive father when he was in my care.' Sera whispered in jeanes ear. 'You remind me so much of him… we used to cuddle and kiss all night long… micheal would always get angry with us for our horse play but he was just jealous… we can play just like that jeane. You are mine after alll…. If only for the next three days… I love you so much my little morningstar.'

Chapter Text

Jeane was carried in seras arm to the breakfast table like a small child while the big angel hummed to herself.

'Hello sera, how did you sleep.' Emily asked already at the table eating her breakfast, shocked to see jeane in seras arms.

'Like a baby emily. That looks good.' sera placed jeane in a chair at the table next to emily and then sat across from him conjuring a plate.

Jeane looked down hungrily he hadnt eaten at all since the trial and had built up a hunger.

The boy leaned down with a fork and a knife then began eating.

'So jeane.'

The boy grunted in reponse eating to himself.

'Sleeping with sera is a big honor. She doesn't just allow anyone in her bed. Did you know she used to have night terrors.' Emily asked teasingly.

'Oh emily, need I tell him how you whimper and rub your head on the chest of the person you sleep one like a little animal cub mewling for milk.' Sera playfully shot back.

The pair laughed at each others joke while jeane just ate.

Once his plate was finished he looked up fearful at sera.

'May I call charlie now.' Jeane asked looking up at her.

Sera smiled and said. 'Yes let me send for the phone.'

Sera rung a bell and the phone materialized in front of jeane. 'Press the first button.'

Jeane pushed the button and pressed the headset to his ear.

The dial tone rung for a few moments before charlies tired voice rung out. Even though she sounded frustrated it was like a drink of water in the desert for jeane.

'What is it.' Charlie exclaimed on the other side.

'Hey charlie.'

'Jeane? Jeane! Are you okay. Did they hurt you.'

'No im fine… don't worry… im just a little shook.'

'Well don't worry because once the time comes for you to decide all you have to do is say you want to come with me… where you belong… remember that adam might be your birth father but it was me and my dad who raised you.'

'I know I love you.' Jeane said blowing her a kiss.

'Love you too.'

Jeane hung up noticing sera had finished her meal with a smile.

'Jeane, did you know that we have a pool… would you like to take a swim.' Sera asked with a smile as she looked at jeane.

'Im okay sera… I just want to be alone right now.' Jeane wanted distance from sera after yesterday but the angel looked at emily.

'Emily,dont you have a free day today why don't you take jeane to your favorite places in heaven while I finalize the schedule for charlie and adams visitation rights.' Sera then looked at jeane with a smirk.

You should really try to get to know emily. She is such a sweet girl and she is madly in love with you… youd be such a cute little couple. Seras voice echoed in jeanes mind.

Jeane looked at emily whose eyes were wide with joy. 'Really sera you don't need my help with paper or anything.'

Sera raised her hand 'Go on and have fun… but not too much fun now.' She winked at jeane making them both blush.

'Ok love you goodbye!' Emily flew from her chair and grabbed jeanes hand but before she could lead him away sera cleared her throat.

'Emily.' Sera said in a sing song voice. 'Havent you forgotten something.'

Emily eyes widened as she realized. 'Oh right, sorry sera.'

Emily flew up to sera and gave her three light pecks on the lips with the third getting a hum and smile.

'That a girl… jeane if you and emily get along really well ill expect you to do the same.' Sera warned then got up.

Try to have fun but if you do anything that endangers emily or try to reveal what I said about our deal… I cant garuntee the safety of your hellborne guardian. Seras voice warned leaving jeane in chills as she flew away.

Emily sighed as she looked at jeane with a flush.

'Yeah I know.'

'What?'

'Me kissing sera on the lips. It looks bad but its how we show love. Its a symbol of our bond as sisters. Apparently she did it with lucifer too which makes it sad but also makes me happy because I know im loved… but I know some people seeit as weird.'

'I don't… my sister does stuff like that all the time… she feed me until I 13.'

` 'Sera did the same, she still doesn't like to let me bath without her in the tub as well.' Emily groaned.

'Me too, charlie always has to be in bath with me. Hey at least you don't have seras girlfriend washing behind your ears and drying you off with a towel.' Jeane said smiling at emily.

'I know right… older sisters am I right.'

'You said it em.'

Both of the teens looked at each other with a smile and a blush.

The pair looked each other in th eyes.

'emily, did anyone ever tell you that you have beautiful baby blue eyes.' Jeane stated his heart skipping a beat as he said it.

'Your eyes arent bad to look at either… I like how theyre different colors.' She said making her face come closer.

'I like how white your wings are… they are so fluffy.' Jeane complimented almost on his own having his face go towards emilies.

The pair wandered toward each other about to kiss when a phone rung.

'Mr. Jeane, phone for you… its your uh father,' An attendent called for jeane.

The boy stapped in is tracks looking embarrassed. He didn't know what had come over him but neither did emily as she looked away.

The boy got up and then said. 'when I get back lets go have fun ok… I like hanging out with you.'

Emily brushed her hair away and smiled. 'Ok, I like you too.'

The boy walked up to the landline and picked it up and listened to it. He answered the phone and heard the sound of his father adam strumming a guitar.

'Hello.' Jeane responded trying to be cordial so that adam couldn't tell sera that charlie was turning jeane against him.

'Hey kid, long time first talk but hey first off its great seeing ya and I must apologize for the way I acted during the meeting five months ago totally unprofessional I was a total dick wad and you have every right to be mad at me.'

Jeane was surprised his powers worked infrequently in heaven but with adam he always knew when his emotions were genuine. He felt his sadness and regret reeking in adams heart and that made jeane sympathize with the man.

'Look jeane, I know im not the most ideal dad… but please, give me a chance to show you that I can be just as good as lucifer… if not better. Please.' Adam pleaded making jeanes heart feel bad.

'Alright, I can give you a chance but don't expect me to just give up on charlie and vaggie for a guy who I barely know.'

'Thats all I ask for babe… hey hows about a good old game of catch at the freaking heaven dome or maybe youd like to meet some of the excorists let me tell ya jeane what you heard about them in hell is skewed as hell son, they are hot, wet, and wild… and they love your dad and they will love you I promise.'

'Uh, yeah, I guess thats fine… whatever you think is best.' Jeane chuckled nervously. 'Look dad, I mean adam, I am kinda doing something with emily right now so well talk later.' Jeane was about to hang up red faced at calling adam dad.

Adam let out an audible gasp 'you called me dad! Hey lute! My son called me dad! Im so proud!' He cheered on the other end of the line.

Jeane didn't want to but he couldn't help but smile at adams display of joy at being called dad. This guy was almost as much of a goober as lucifer was and he couldn't believe the similiarity. I mean sure he was a sexist piece of shit but at least he was trying.

'Anyway bye adam.' Jeane hung up and walked up to emily who was sniffling with a big smile.

'What?' Jeane asked confused.

'That was so beautiful.' Emily said letting out a little cry as she said so.

'I mean it wasnt really. Adam isnt even my dad really. Not the way I feel him to be…'

'I know but you have to understand that you actually giving him a chance shows how much of big person you are…' Emily said as then leans down and wraps her arm around jeane. 'Now im thinking of flying of this breakfast at the gardens how about you.'

'Lets go.' Jeane said stiffly, his blush completely visibly.

Emily let out a cheer as she flew through a hoop in the gardens flying court.

Jeane clapped for her.

'Your turn.' She said teasingly.

Jeane shook his head embarrassed. 'No thank you… im too new to flying.'

Emily pouted as he said that 'why not' she whined

'I don't want to embarrass myself in front of everyone.' Jeane said whispering as a small crowd was watching them at first he thought it was because of emily but now he knew it was because of him due to emily showing him on her phone the news story of him being revealed as adams third son.

'Please!' Emily whined out giving jeane puppy dog eyes and quivering her lip which was his weakness with charlie whenever she wanted him to do something as well.

'Ok… only because I cant resist those eyes… and thats cheating by the way.' Jeane teased as he began doing warm ups and flapped his wings lightly.

The boy hyped himself up in his head and with a leap flew high in the air. The first test was the narrow side to side hoops which jeane barely cleared with his wings grazing the side of each hoops more often then not.

The next was the up and down high dive where he flew up a set of rings that ascended high and then had to flew back down. Getting up was fine and jeane did it almost perfectly which filled him with a little bit too much confidence as when he descended down he skirted near a bottom ring and almost crashed on the ground.

The next was the air trick hoops and jeane did his best with these but each time he did poorly. The boy was sweatly, tired, and grimmy as he flew toward emily who was suppressing a giggle with her hand.

'Laugh it up Sera jr.' Jeane growled teaselingly.

Emily laughed at that. 'I thought you looked fine for a first time flier.'

'Really?'

'Yeah, considering that most angel children know to fly from the womb though maybe beginner is a relative term.' Emily teased sticking out her tongue.

'Thats it come here.' Jeane lunged at emily playfully.

The little angel let out a play scream and flew away. The pair flew in a chase.

'Get back here you litte.'

'Come get me hell boy.' Emily teased.

Jeane was close to grabbing her but fell flat from exhaustion.

'Missed me missed me now you have to kiss me.' She sung to jeane but was surprised when she felt a peck on her cheek.

'Your wish is my command princess.' Jeane teased.

Emily squeaked nervously and began to hic as she flew away embarrassed. 'I cant believe you did that… so embarrassing.'

'Oh you think thats embarrassing… well how about a tickle fight.' Jeane flew toward her and began tickling her making her giggle to herself.

The pair laughed as they played.

Suddenly emilys phone rung and she answered.

'Hello?' She answered. 'Yes Sera, hes right here. Ill bring him right to the spot. Love you too.'

Emily ended her call then looked at jeane with a smile 'alright jeane its time for you and adams alloted bonding time. I am to take you to the heaven dome where he is waiting.'

'Oh, charlie isnt first today.' Jeane asked disappointed.

'Jeane, do you hate adam.'

'No, no, I don't know. I mean hes a sexist asshole but the more I know about him the less I hate him.' Jeane admitted.

Emily smiled. 'Jeane, I really hope you choose to stay with adam that way we can have fun like this everyday.'

'Well if I don't. My dad is a seraphim, maybe I can work something out to visit.' Jeane said with a smile as he reached out his hand.

Emily took jeanes hand with a smile. 'Yeah, Id like that.'

at the heaven dome jeane was met by a crowd of over a hundred women waving signs with his praises and his face on them.

As he flew down he could hear them calling out to him as adam stood at the front.

'Hey there he is. My special little guy. Jeane id like you to meet these fine ladies. They all want to meet you.' Adam said in front of all the women.

Jeane was embarrassed as he looked away at all the beautiful women looking at him with a flood of obessessed lust that flooded from them all. He could tell that the emotion was with them. The boy felt himself grow red.

'Hey your getting red… first time getting showered by the love of a harem of women who all want your world famous dick… youll get used to it.'Adam wrapped his arm around jeane as he lead jeane down the line as the women looked at him with a smile.

'Adam, this is a little much I don't really like being a sex symbol.' Jeane said as he saw them all look at him as if they were undressing him with their eyes.

'Well get used to it kid. Your the son of the dick master. All these women want to be the one to tame the wild stallion that is my son… but little did they know… is that men like us are always meant to run wild and free.'

Adam let out a wild horse neigh as he lifted jeane on his shoulders easily.

The boy looked at emily embarrassed as the angel chuckled.

'lets get you to the stadium… on a piggy back ride from your dear old dad.' Adam flaps his wings and flies straight toward the arena over head with the angels all showing their wings and flying up with him.

The angel then descended down while the rest all took to the stands and began cheering.

'Uh adam.'

'Please, jeane call me dad.'

'Adam.' Jeane replied sternly.

Adam shrugged. 'Sure thing kid, what up.'

'What are we doing here.'

'Oh thats simple… we… are gonna play catch!' Adam yelled in a dramatic display using angelic light to make a light show with jeanes face and his smiling and a baseball style cinematic.

Jeane looked up surprised while emily flew overhead wearing a foam figure that read jeane number 1 son.

'Not you too emily.' Jeane said surprised.

Emily snickered. 'Im sorry, but the energy is so infectious.'

'Damn right it is… now lets play.' Adam summons a light ball and a pair of catchers mitts then flings one to jeane 'Heads up.'

The boy grabs it in one hand and puts it on. 'Okay.'

'Great catch kid.' Adam said putting his mitt on and throwing the ball making jeane catch it.

Jeane threw it back. 'So dad, tell me about mom.'

'Oh your mother… well if you wanna know about eve… I guess I have to tell ya.' jeane could feel adams discomfort but the boy was surprised that adams initial intent to lie was overshadowed by a sense of reponsbility to jeane.

'Jeane ill be honest… your mother was the true love of my life. I mean lilith was hot and cool but she was too… independent and creepy for me… but eve oh eve was special. She always knew how to make me happy, the world made sense when she was around but then the apple changed her…'

'The apple…'

'Of course, lucifer wouldnt tell you about that.' Adam sounded disgusted and jeane could feel the hatred in his heart for lucifer.

'When him and lilith came back to the garden they offered the fruit of knowledge to eve in order to give her free will but that allowed evil a place into the world… which used your mother as an anchor… I had hoped when she came back eighteen years ago that she had changed for the better… but I was a fool.'

'What are you talking about.'

'18 Years ago when I was at my lowest drinking, whoring, making shitty for profit rock music she came back into my life… eve was just like she used to be. Me and her had a happy life and in nine months we had made a new addition to the family which hadnt happened since your brothers cain and abel… jeane if only you couldve seen the way eve looked at you when you were in her arms… it made me realize that I had to be the man of the house… I stopped drinking, whoring around, I even gave up hard drugs and swore off doing anything that would lead to your harm.'

Jeane could feel a wave of all adams regret, fear, sadness, and hatred… jeane hated how much he felt bad for adam and how much he grew to trust the angel.

'But then one day when I was doing a rock show. I came home and you were both gone. I sent word to the angels and they looked for you but your mother and you were not to be found. Upon looking at the footage it was evident that eve kidnapped you… and on that day I went right back to the drinking, whoring, and all the shit that made me a horrible person because all the light in my life was snuffed out.'

'Adam, im so sorry.' Jeane said feeling bad for him.

'Hey, listen to me being a whiny little bitch when all my son wants to do is have fun. Im sorry kiddo… its just nice to have you back you know… its like a piece of your mother is with me now. I know I shouldn't still love her but I do… I cant hate her despite what she has done to me… I guess Im just a fool arent I.'

'Adam, no, loving someone doesn't make you a fool. I hate that she hurt you so much but I don't think your a bad person for not hating her. I want to say thank you for being open with me… I like it when your not putting up a front.'

Adams eyes began to twinkle. 'are you saying… your proud of me.'

Jeane nodded. 'Yeah, I am'

'Ooh, come here son… I don't care if dudes hugging each other is gay I love you so much.' Adam wrapped jeane in a hug and the boy returned the embrace.

The entire audience let out an audible sound of approval as the pair cuddled. Emily meanwhile as suppressing tears.

Jeane hugged him back.

The entire crowd began to clap and cheer letting out whistles.

The crowd was silenced when lute flew down looking hard at emily.

'hello jeane.' She said with an evil smile.

'Oh uh hey lute… why are you looking at me like that.' Lute only smirked as she looked at him and adam.

'Did I miss something.' She asked coyly.

'Yeah, me and jeane reconciled and had father son bonding time… it was fucking sick babe.' Adam cheered wrapping his arm around jeane.

Lute meanwhile looks at jeane with a smile. 'Is that so.'

Adam nods.

'So jeane are you happy with adam now.' Lute asked taking a step forward.

'I guess hes cool.' Jeane said looking down.

'Yeah he is, thats why I married him… I guess you feel bad about declining my offer to come home with me now don't you.' Lute asked with an arrogant aura.

Jeane backed away as he felt himself get grabbed and his hand pulled toward lute.

'What are you doing… let go.' Jeane ordered trying to fight out of her strong grip.

Lute leaned down and whispered. 'Play along and do as I say or that little bitch and her traitorous girlfriend are dead… understand… nod if you understand.'

Jeane nods and gets a kiss on his cheek from lute.

'Aw thats cute, what were you two talking about.' Adam asked pointing toward jeane and lute.

'Adam honey, I love you more then anything you know this right.' Lute said in a cutesy voice making jeane sick as he felt the manipulation In her heart become real and take hold of adam making the man loopy.

'Yeah, babe of course… whatever you say.' Adam said in a dreamy voice.

'Good… now jeane here is gonna show in front of all these angels how much he loves me… arent you jeane.' She said threateningly making the boy quiver.

Jeane nodded his head and leaned up to lute as she looked him in the eye.

'well im waiting…' Lute instructed. 'give me a hug.'

Jeane did as she told him and wrapped his arm around lutes body feeling the small woman squeeze him tighter then he could breath.

Hearing her moan and make sounds in his ear.

'I love this… don't you.' She cooed rubbed jeanes back making him feel weird as her fingers dug into his back forcing his tension to ease.

'Yeah, can you let go now.' Jeane begged as he felt his body betray him as he leaned into lutes body.

'I could, but I don't think you want that do you jeane?' Lute said with a smile.

Jeane shook his head when he heard a phone ring.

'Thats my phone…' Lute said reach into her pocket while still holding jeane close to her with one arm. 'Its sera, she wants to have a word with you jeane…'

'With me… what about.'

'Youll see now come on… adam dear well see you at home, I already have dinner in the stove and ill have all the house work finished when I get back.' Lute said blowing him a kiss.

'thanks babe, you take such good care of me. I love you.' Adam said in a hypnotic daze.

'What did you do to him.' Jeane asked as lute grabbed his hand and lead him away.

'Nothing that isnt for his best interest… what would the world think if they saw their first man moping about some demon sucking bitch when he shouldve been given an angel wife to begin with.' Lute then leaned in and whispered. 'Angels know how to love better then any other creature in all of creation you know.'

Jeane gulped as the two flew up toward the beam of light which lead them to a tea room where a table was set with bread and jam with a teapot and cookies.

Sera looked at jeane with a smile. 'Ah my sweet boy youve arrived… im sure your famished after a long day at play… hows about a snack and a nice of cup of tea.'

jeane was lead to the chair and sat down between lute and sera as they looked down at him menacingly.

Jeane gulped. 'Why am I here.'

'Straight to the point then… alright… you are not to return to hell.' Sera said matter of factly.

'What I thought you said it was my choice.' Jeane exclaimed shocked.

Sera narrowed her gaze at jeane. 'I understand your upset… but do not raise your voice again if you value those hellborns lives.'

Jeane could feel seras overwhelming power overtake him. His own apple was beginning to dim and now he realized it was here that was dimming his ability.

'I apologize.' Jeane grunted through the pain as seras many eyed form bore down on him.

Sera leaned down at jeane and whispered. 'Give me a kiss.'

Jeane did as she told him kissing her on the cheek as the eyes retracted and the seraphim smiled. The pair of angels began to make themselves cups of tea and grabbing cookies.

'Now, jeane, you don't belong in hell.' Sera began. 'Do you really think youd be happier there then in heaven with your father and your people.'

'Charlie and the sinners are my people.' Jeane glared at sera who took a bite of her cookie.

'Insolent little…' Lute started but sera placed her hand on her shoulder.

'So the hellborn are the problem them. Maybe a monthly extermination would fix that… letting that threat build for even half a year is a threat id be foolhardy to allow to thrive.' Sera then summoned a piece a paper. 'Do you know what this is jeane.'

'W-what?' Jeane asked fearing that paper.

'This is an executive order to make the extermination once a month starting just after next months extermination. What would your precious charlie think if she knew you doomed her people to complete extinction.'

'You cant, they arent invovled in this.' Jeane shot up and begged.

'It wont just be the sinners jeane, it will be the hellborn too… the extermination wont end until all of hell is empty… do you want that?' Sera began to summon a golden quill with a smile.

'Wait please, don't.'

'Are you going to be good and make the right choice or will you continue to let others pay for your selfish choices.' Sera asked as she smiled at jeane bowing to her.

Jeane with tears in his eyes looked away not wanting sera to see him cry. 'I-ill stay in heaven… please stop the exterminations and ill stay…'

Sera flew up to jeane and wrapped him in a hug with a big sigh. 'ive waited to hear you say those words all week… welcome home child… we all love you.'

Jeane tried to fight out of her grip but one look at lute scowl forced him to hug her back.

'Now, lets get you to your new home.'

'what about charlie and vaggie?' Jeane asked.

'they will be escorted out…' Sera said taking jeanes right arm in hers with a smile.

Charlie fought against the angels gripping her arm as they lead her toward the portal.

'Hey dickhead, you don't have to be so rough with her.' Vaggie yelled as she was held by two angels.

'Silence fallen one… you lost the right to command us when you betrayed us for your hellborn succubus.' The angel female yelled as she grabbed vaggie.

'What are you talking about.'

'Oh you didn't know… vaggie was an excorist angel you stupid bitch… now get out.' The angels were forcing them out toward the portal.

'Wait no, what about jeane, hes supposed to be making his choice tommorrow.' Charlie called.

'He made his choice, he said he wanted to stay in heaven and never wants to see you again.' The angel said.

'Your lying, jeane loves me.'

'Loves you, only a foolish angel would love a hellborn bitch like you… right vaggie.' the angels laughed as they threw them out of the portal. 'and don't come back.'

The portal closed as charlie with half demon form watched as jeane was held back by lute and sera who both smirked as she cried and screamed when the portal closes.

'you did very well my child… I love you.' Lute said kissing his cheek and taking his hand.

'I know… I know.' Jeane said. 'I I want to go home.'
