God POV

Sarah Adam is set to be relocated. I don't think Lucifer is going to like me. I can try Charlie. I call Charlie.

Me: Hey Charlie, can we have a business meeting?

Charlie: Wow, I have some ideas, actually, and would need your help.

Me: Tomorrow, a portal will open. The heads of all the departments will be there. Can you get the sins? I don't want to bug Lucifer.

Charlie: I can try.

Me: See you soon.

I text the boys. Then I look at her memories; she has wings. Lucifer hasn't re-unlocked them. I will have to do that if she is taking over his duties and unlock her angelic powers.

Tomorrow, 3 PM.

Me, my boys, Emily, and Assistant Father are in the meeting room. Charlie got 5 of the sins: Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth, and she represents Pride. She and Vaggie will be coming. Vaggie doesn't trust us, which I get, considering what Adam did.
I opened the portal. She was the first one to step through, then Vaggie looked around the room. The sins came in, and I closed it. 
Charlie sat down. "So what is so big that you need us and the sins?" Vaggie said. 
"Well, we have a few people in heaven who are almost sent to hell. We want your approval first," I said. 
"So who are they?" Charlie asked. 
"Well, Lucifer will probably kill me if I allow one in without a meeting," I said. 
"So why not get him?" Satan asked. 
"Have you been to our parties?" Asmodeus said. 
"Let alone his honeymoon. Remember his and Lilith's honeymoon?" Bee said. 
"I'm the dick master; I don't get tied up," Adam said. The guard had him on his shoulder. "Oh, now it makes sense," Satan said. Charlie was pissed; she summoned a pitchfork, and Vaggie was ready to attack. "Oh, you fuckers," Adam said. 
"No violence," Emily said.
"He tried to kill me," Charlie yelled, her pitchfork at Adam's throat. 
"Agreed." 
"No, he can't go to hell," Charlie said. 
"Hear us out," Michael said. 
The pitchfork is now by him. Vaggie grabbed it to help her calm down. 
"I'm sorry; he just pisses me off," Charlie said. 
"He tried to kill you," Asmodeus said. 
"The fight was televised all over hell. Did any of you watch it?" Charlie said to the sins. 
"I was occupied," Ozzy said. 
"Drunk," Bee said. 
"I don't watch TV; I read about it," Satan said. 
"Same," Belphegor said. 
"Okay, well, is he going to be allowed in hell?" Gabriel said. 
"How about he stays at the hotel to get redeemed?" Emily said. 
"You trying to get me murdered?" Adam said. "I make his mouth disappear."
"No, no, no. Never, as long as I live," Charlie said. 
"I hate him just as much as you. I didn't want Pentisious, but you convinced me he could be redeemed, even though he tried to kill us," Vaggie said. 
"And Lucifer will hide away for another 20 years," Ozzy said. I looked at Hell's map. There is a ring that is completely empty; it's what Hell was before Lucifer took it over. 
"What if we sent him to the 9th ring of Hell?" I said. 
"9th ring?" all the sins said. 
"Yes, Charlie can look over Adam and communicate with Emily about Sarah and Adam and how they are doing," I said. 
"Sarah also; she didn't kill souls," Emily said. 
"She allowed Adam to and didn't tell the archangels about it, so her punishment will be much less harsh emotionally." I said.
"Sarah can stay at the hotel, Adam. No, I will not hesitate to let Nifty kill him again or stop Dad from killing him," Charlie said. 
"Or Charlie can work with some of the people in prison in Hell before she works with Adam," Raphael said. 
"Are you crazy? They are in mental torture for a reason," Michael said. 
"A prison in Hell?" Charlie asked. 
"A long time ago, your dad sorted sinners out—the really bad ones, like Hitler, dictators, and many more who committed heinous crimes. I can't allow this," Satan said. 
"Agreed," the Sins said along with Vaggie. 
"I second that," I said. 
"So let's vote Adam into the 9th ring of Hell, watched over by Charlie and Vaggie," I said. My sons, except Michael, Vaggie, and the Sins raised their hands. "I didn't want to see his smug face. Why are you saying no?" Charlie asked Michelle. 
"I'd rather send him to Limbo," Michael said. Adam shook his head no.

"What if we got Dad to decide?" Charlie said.

"Poke the horniest angles at a very intimate moment? No, I don't want him not to talk to me again. He holds grudges for a long time," Gabriel said.

"Alastor is a king, also," Vaggie said.

"Fine, but I won't be blamed for this," I said. I summoned Alastor and Lucifer. Lucifer is in full phoenix form, wearing a daddy choker, a play bunny outfit, 12-inch heels, and handcuffs with stockings. "Hell better be on fire, sinking, or frozen fucking over," the handcuffs rattling.

"Well, it might be if we allow that murderer in Hell," Charlie said.

"We didn't want to bug you," I said. Lucifer saw Adam.

"Key, please," he said.

"You know what you have to do," Alastor said.

"I refuse," Lucifer said.

"Then you'll stay like that," Alastor said, smiling genuinely.

"Put him down; give him his mouth back," Lucifer said.

I did as told. Adam looked for an exit.

"So you're doomed to hell," Lucifer smirked. He lifted his heel to his throat.

"Be easy, darling," Alastor said.

"Fine," Lucifer said. He got something out of his heel—a knife.

"You can enter hell, but you'll be put on Big Bertha for seven days; that's for having my honeymoon interrupted. Then a month of mental torture: all the souls you have killed, their voices going on through your head. Then everything you did to Eve, you will feel. Then maybe you might be broken enough to be redeemable," Lucifer said. Adam kept looking him up and down.

"So hot," Adam said.

"I'm taken, but you have a long date with Big Bertha," Lucifer said. He goes to walk away, but Adam grabbed his heel. This doesn't phase him; he is now pissed. He stomped on Adam's foot, heel going through it.

"Big Bertha," Ozzy said.

"Yes. I want him to suffer," Lucifer said.

"What's Big Bertha?" Charlie asked. Lucifer created the punishment; we all sign off on it; it's his territory.

"A thing I created, and I wish I shouldn't have," Ozzy said.

"It's a fun thing, just in moderation. Ozzy, take him, hook him up; I'll get him when my honeymoon is over. I have one more week, and if I'm summoned, called, or for any other reason than Charlie's life being in danger or anyone at the hotel I have grown to care about, I will cut your funding or you out of my life for however long I feel like it," Lucifer said.

"And Sarah," I said.

"Whatever Charlie wants, I have to get out of these. And nice to see you, Emily; it is nice to meet you when you can remember," he said, holding his hands up.

"Just say I was right," Alastor said, holding the key.

"Never."

"So prideful," Alastor said, pulling Lucifer close.

"So stubborn," Lucifer said, jumping up into his arms. I sent them back.

"Their meeting's over. Charlie, I want to talk," I said.

"Told you he would if we did that," Gabriel said.

"Only if we did that again," Michael said.

"We aren't going back to your duties. Emily, Charlie, Vaggie, come with me." I summoned Sarah and opened the portal. Ozzy grabbed Adam. "I'm sorry for what you're about to go through," he said.

"What am I?" They are out of range. I take us to the training room. "The floor is bouncy," Charlie said.

"I can help you unlock your wings and other things," I said.

"My wings?" she asked. I play the memory when she got them; then she was flying in her bedroom, fell, and got scared, which is what normally happens. Just don't unlock them this late.

"That would be awesome," she said.

We spend hours mastering her powers; she gets them down and opens the portal to the hotel. "Thank you, Papa," she said.

"No problem," I said. We go our separate ways.
