Radio's Angel (Alastor x Emily)

Alastor

After a moment Lilith seems to calm herself down and regain her composure.

"Sorry, we have some history that is rather unpleasant."

"Exactly what kind of history do you have with this Roo? If she is the Roo I think she may be, isn't it odd that she is working with Heaven?"

Lilith shook her head, "It makes sense that she would side with the extremists because she wouldn't want there to be any peace between Heaven and Hell because then her power would slowly weaken as sinners are redeemed."

So that's it, she is scared of losing her power so she is helping the extremists shut this all down. As for Eve she could have any number of reasons for choosing to stand against us. She may hold a grudge on Lucifer, could believe that sinners don't deserve redemption, or maybe she might even be vengeful for Adams death even though they were no longer together.

As I'm thinking about these new developments I realize that the others are still questioning Lilith about who the Hell this 'Roo' is.

"She is the embodiment of the root of evil. Every horrid thing that casts a dark shadow is of her design."

By now it had gotten quite late and everyone was too tired to put any proper thought or effort into the discussion so we all decided it would be best to just head to bed now and continue it later. Then it fucking hits again. I hear Vox's voice taunting me.

"Do you really think you can win the fight to come? You and your naive bitch will die!"

I do my best not to cause a scene but my anger at his words must have been more visible than I thought as everyone looked at me nervously.

"Al? Are you alright?"

The princess seemed concerned not just for me, but if she would have to get everyone out as fast as she could.

"I'm fine. Sorry for worrying you, it would appear that the bastards are learning more and more about us as time goes on. It would be safe to assume that we are under their surveillance somehow."

"You're having one of there hallucinations right now?"

"Nothing major, they went with Vox again. Now that I know it's in my head it's more annoying than anything else really. You all should know I've had worst guests up there."

I laugh as I try to keep everyone's moods light. If they get worried they might end up not getting enough sleep, which will lead to poor performance, which could lead to weaker defenses, which would lead to Emily being in more danger.

"It is getting quite late now, I think it would best that we head to sleep before we waste anymore time."

The others nod and we make our way upstairs as Richter tries to pry Adam off of him.Emily and I make our way to our room without further delays. I had had enough of all this, which is quite something coming from me. All this fighting has stopped being fun now and has gotten to annoying to now worrying. I don't want to have to raise my child to be ready fight off exorcists from randomly attacking them.

As we lay down I can feel myself start to relax and realize just how tense I had been. I chuckle to myself about how bizarre it was that I was this troubled about a fight against the remnants of remnants.

Emily snuggles next to me and I smile softly as the world and the battle now seem like distant and unimportant murmurs compared to who I have right next to me.

"Good night little dove."

"Good night Al."

We drift off to sleep where I'm greeted by a visitor that I can't see clearly. It's they're underwater, or warped behind a wall of ice.
