Another Life 2 (a HB/HH & Union harem story)

Chapter 23: aftermath.

(UNION ACADEMY)

After Aiden returned to the academy, running down the halls and ran into his dorm room, Aiden's union friends and girlfriends were wondering why he was running away after he came back until they got a text saying that Vaggie was actually an Exorcist angel the whole time, which shocked them all after knowing that

Deku: Vaggie was an angel the whole time?

Iida: that would explain why she has an X for a left eye after all.

Ren: and I think the reason why she never told Aiden is because of when he told us about how he found out that his dad is an exorcist too.

Nora & the others nod in agreement, and then suddenly...

Tommy: wait, what are you guys talking about?

Everyone shrieked in surprise as they turn around and see the Alpha Betas standing behind them while Mason was eating some nachos

Ruby: (sighs) it's kind of a long story, but since Aiden never told you, I think we should tell you everything.

the alpha betas raise their eyebrows, puzzled while the Union students tell the team everything that Aiden went through after he ran away from his sister 4 months ago

(IN THE HAZBIN HOTEL)

In Charlie's bedroom, we see her helpers, Razzle & Dazzle, holding tissue boxes with having sad faces as Charlie was covered in her blankets crying her eyes out after what happened back In Heaven's court, or atleast she was until Alastor showed up

Alastor: oh, Charlie. You look like an absolute mess.

Charlie then made this mad, but rather cute, face as she glared at the radio demon

Charlie: (groans) go away, alastor.

Then Alastor sat on Charlie's bed

Alastor: now now, is that any way to act after you, Aiden and Vaggie picked a fight with all of heaven and doomed everyone you loved.

Charlie: (sigh) I have enough on my mind without hearing your sadistic idea of a joke, asshole.

Then she covered herself in her blanket again, until..

Alastor: who's joking?!

He startled Charlie as she fell off her bed

Alastor: you have a captive audience downstairs waiting to hear what kind of inspiring performance you have planned next.

Charlie: (groans) I can't. how can I save them after failing them so hard? They came here to be saved and all I gave them was more pain. I'm just as bad as the cruelest overlord in Hell, maybe worse. At least they don't go around giving false hope.

Alastor: well, I never expected to see such a miserable display of self-loathing from you.

Charlie crossed her arms and glared at Alastor

Charlie: oh, fuck you, Alastor. All you do is stand there, smiling while you watch us struggle and fail. I don't know how you can enjoy all this suffering so much.

Alastor then showed up behind Charlie and chuckled

Alastor: just because you see a smile doesn't mean you think you know what's going on underneath. (cups her cheeks) a smile is a valuable tool, my dear. It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that no matter what comes your way, you're the one in control.

Charlie: but I'm not, I'm the farthest thing from ''in control''. The person I trusted the most has been lying to me for years, except Aiden because he's only known her for a few months...and HE'S MY BOYFRIEND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! Not to mention that heaven refused to listen to me and even if they did, I can't prove that my hotel works. Adam has an invincible exorcist army pointing at my doorstep and there's nothing I can't do ABOUT ANY OF IT!!
