A/N: Takes place some time after the events of Season 1

Scene opens on you and Vaggie on a casual date between friends at a diner.

Despite this just being a way for the two of you to catch up after you died, both of you were acting a little awkward. You couldn't help but notice how beautiful she is. 

Vaggie: (staring dreamily) Damn, he's cute. Just like when he saved me that night. My Knight in Shining Armor. 

Y/N: (awkwardly clearing your throat) So, what's it like working at the Hotel?

Vaggie: (sigh) It's a god damn nightmare. Sinners and other demons view us as an absolute joke.

She takes an agitated sip of her Coffee. 

Vaggie: Apart from Angel Dust, who keeps fucking everything up for us, we're stuck working with an alcoholic cat with a gambling addiction, an annoying cyclops girl who acts like it's still the 1950s, and the fucking Radio Demon.

Y/N: Wait, the creepy Deer guy who won't stop smiling? He works for you?

Vaggie: Unfortunately. I personally don't want anything to do with that Cabrón hijo de perra. But Charlie is desperate for this Hotel to be successful and prove that people can change.

Y/N: Do you honestly believe that Sinners can change?

Vaggie: I want to... Why? What do you think?

Y/N: It's hard to tell. I can honestly say that most of the people I killed, both when I was alive and working with IMP, have been absolute scum. My first target with them was some scumbag college student who roofied classmates.

Vaggie: (chuckling) Sounds familiar to a certain Vigilante.

Y/N: Or serial killer, depending on who you ask.

Vaggie: Y/N...you were so much more than that. You saved me that night. You were the only man in my life that people didn't treat me like trash.

Y/N: I'm sorry, Vaggie. You deserved so much better than that.

The two of you stare at each other lovingly across the table. The two of you lean closer and...awkwardly break apart and clear your throats.

Y/N: (blushing like a dork) So uh...feel free to tell me to shut up, but...how did you end up with Zeus?

Vaggie: Not long after you saved me, I fell on hard times and only went with Zeus out of desperation. After refusing his advances, he tried to force himself on me and, having enough of his abuse, I fought back. I lost my eye, he killed me, and I ended up here. Fortunately, I met Charlie. And despite being in Hell, she's made me happier than I've ever been. Although it took some time, Zeus really put me off relationships and I haven't trusted men ever since.

Y/N: I hope that doesn't include me.

She stammers and back pedels upon realizing what she just said.

Vaggie: Oh! No! In fact, you're the only guy I trust. Despite knowing little about you, you're one of the few people who actually cared and wasn't trying to get something out of me.

Y/N:  I'm sorry you had to go through that. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Vaggie: : You've done plenty already. Right now, just staying in contact is enough.
