Circle 2: Hell
"If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell."
I smiled; they were scared to the core. I could feel it. After that they started sending in different people to question me. I didn't answer anything.
I looked out the window at the city. It prompted me of one bible verse I read: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23.
I hear the door open for what feels like the 600th time. I look back to see the man who was in blue and stripes. I roll my eyes and look back out the window. "I know you don't want to see me here." He spoke. "But I'mma talk to you anyway", "My name is Steve Rogers".... "All we...or I want to know is your name".
...."Amaris"..."Now, what information do you want from me?". "How about....how old are you?", I turn towards him, "Really? That irrelevant question? Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me". "Well, you said you were from....down there....how could I not believe you?". "You first", "96".
I raised an eyebrow, "No way, you look so young!". "Experiment", "2,015.". He smiles, "I don't think I'll live to be that old". "Hey, why don't you come meet the rest?". I was reluctant, "Fury, won't know" "Sure. Anywhere than here".
I walk in quietly as everybody stopped talking. "Oh, isn't it the girl who completely made me need to get a kidney surgery" the red-headed woman said. "Yeah, sorry about that", I look around at the building around me. "This place reminds me of The Tower of Babel", I slightly smile at the memories I made there.
"Okay, so, Natasha, Bruce, Tony, Sam, Clint, and...wait. Where's the big guy who knocked me out?" I said, looking for him. "He's Thor. You weren't the only one knocked out after the explosion...."Bruce said. I put on an 'o' face and nod.
"What's going on here?", I turn around to see the man...or Thor standing there with his Hammer. "What is this Midgardian doing here!?". "Call me Midgardian one more time and I swear I will send you to Hel" I say in an ancient language. "How dare you!" Thor bellowed; I call for my sword. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" everyone said. "Point break, cosplayer, I don't need you blowing up my one-million-dollar tower".
I send my sword back and fold my arms. "I don't want any trouble...Thor. I'm just here to do my business and be on my way." I said, he put his Hammer down. "What business?" Natasha asked. "I'm only here to exorcise some demons that escaped Hell", "Is that even possible?" Tony questioned, "Well, now and then Satan would leave Hell for more souls, leaving me in charge of all Hell. Now, I have to get these demons back in Hell before he comes back from his vacation".
I turn around to a gun at my head, "Aren't you the demon?" Fury said. I focused on the gun as it started to heat up. Then Fury dropped the gun at my feet. "How the hell did you do that?!" he asked. "Look, I get it, you think I'm crazy. You can't see these demons. They're invisible to the human eye. Unless you've sinned enough".
"You think I care?" Fury looked at his hand. "We'll help you, we're good at kicking ass" Rhodey said. "Yeah, we can help you." Steve agreed. "Sorry, but I can't let you do that. You'll be killed. I can't let that happen....again" I said. As I was going to the elevator, but Clint stopped me.
"We're either coming with you or we'll do it ourselves", I gave him a death glare. "No".
I walk outside the tower and sat by the door; I felt a dark presence behind me as I tried to clear my thoughts. I look around to see nothing, but I knew that it was the Demon of Lust. "Hey, are you okay?" Steve asked me. "Yeah, I'm good", "We have to go on a mission. You wanna come?". I shake my head, "Nah, ya'll go ahead. I'mma stay here for the demon."
