Vox's POV

We drive in the back of our limo back to our tower. Alastor sits in the middle of Val and I. Val has one of his lower arms wrapped around Al's waist. I touch his hair and play with it. It's so soft. I'm so happy that Lucifer let me do the research on this anomaly. I don't think he cared though.

"Vox, leave the man alone. I doubt he wants your nasty hands all over his head," Velvette says.

"Leave me alone. He's my responsibility now so I can do whatever I want." I wrap my arms around Alastor's head. "Within limits of course. But you know what I mean. Alastor, who's your favorite?"

"Vel."

"Besides Velvette. Everyone knows you two are like two peas in a pod."
"Val."

"Val?!" I back away in shock, looking at him as if he's mentally insane. Which he is for choosing Valentino over me. That is some insane shit.

"What's wrong with me? Now leave my baby alone," Valentino says. He picks up Alastor and places him on his lap. He also gives a kiss to Al's forehead and Alastor lets him! Excuse me! Al gives me a big smile. Now he's just playing with me. Well fuck him.

"Why don't you like meeeee?" I whine. "Without me, you'd be stuck with the stupid King of Hell and tortured to death," I mumble under my breath.

"You're too clingy." I cross my arms a pout against the window. I am not clingy. He doesn't know what he's saying. Must be becoming a human messing with his brain. The limo stops. We're back at the tower. Valentino hides Alastor in his coat as we walk inside. We get to the elevator and go up to our floor.

"You two go to my room. I got to get a few things so we can start now and get some things out of the way." Valentino shrugs and does as I say, bringing Alastor with him. I go to my office and search around. I find some papers with a bunch of questions on them and a needle for taking his blood sample. This will do for this week. Keep it easy. I bring the items to my room and sit down next to Val and Al. Their nicknames rhyme. Cool. I hand Alastor the papers and he looks at me like I'm dumb.

"You want me to do all of this?" he asks. There's only like 20 papers in his little stack. I nod and hand him a pen. He shrugs and gets to work.

Lucifer's POV

I fly back to the hotel. I walk in and Charlie runs up to me with a hopeful smile. Vaggie next to her with a not-so-hopeful smile. Angel is flirting with Husk at the bar.

"Dad, was he there?" Charlie asks.

"He was. Right now he's at the V's tower. A TV head wanted to take him, so I let him."

"Sir, you mean Vox, the one that tried to spy on the hotel, now wants Alastor and currently has him. Wouldn't Alastor put up more of a fight? Him and Vox are rivals," Vaggie says.

"Well it's not like he could've done much. He's back to being human now." Charlie and Vaggie stare at me as if I said something completely ludicrous. I hate being stared at. Can't stand it. Makes me jumpy. "What? Stop staring at me like that. Sinners are randomly becoming humans. Alastor happens to be one of those sinners."

"Can we see Alastor at least?" Charlie asks. Why does she even like him? He's an asshole. "Pleeeease."

"Yeah you can. Just eh, hold on for a moment." I pull out my phone and search for Vox's contact. I got it after the meeting to keep tabs on Alastor and the research. I find it and call him. It rings for a bit before he picks up. I explain that Charlie wants to see Alastor and if they're able to come over for a quick bit. He agrees, although I can clearly hear Alastor in the background not wanting to. I hang up. "He'll be here in five."

"Yay! Thank you, dad!" She gives me a bone crushing hug before running off. Vaggie chases after her girlfriend. I love her but I question how much trust she puts into others. How can she trust the Radio Demon? And like him?! I would've killed him by now if it wasn't for her.

~Five Minutes Later~

I hear a knock at the door and I answer it. It's Vox and Alastor. I let them in and call for Charlie. Husk spits out his drink, leaving Angel confused. Angel turns around and his eyes widen at Alastor.

"Smiles?" Alastor gives a little wave. "Fuck, dude. You're hot as hell. I would definitely have tried to fuck you if we ever met when we were alive." Alastor looks disgusted, but keeps his smile. I notice Vox moves Alastor closer to him and farther from Angel Dust slightly. I narrow my eyes, about to say something, but Charlie comes down before I can.

"Alastor, is that you?!" Charlie asks.

"Hi-" Charlie hugs him with a small squeal. "Dear."

"Where have you been? I was so worried." She gasps. "I got to show you something. Come with me." She drags Alastor upstairs. I look at Vox. I wonder why he wanted to take Alastor in the first place. Surely if the plan was to kill him, it would be done by now or Alastor would at least have gone through some type of torture. I don't think Vox wants to kill Alastor. It's something else. I'm going to find out what it is. I know Vox won't openly state if there's anything of the romantic sorts going on between the two overlords. Neither will Alastor.

But I will find out.
