Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

Ch.125 - 🎼 Musical Therapy with Verosika 👩🏼‍🎤

THAT NIGHT...

A few hours after escaping Devo and his Imagination Castle soon went from Blitzø kicking one of the tires on Verosika's car, to him running through a trash can at a frantic pace.

'Breath! Breath! Breath!' he repeatedly panted aloud.

The imp ran through the streets of Imp City, being chased by Verosika after he, uhh... did something to the pink Chevrolet she parked in his parking space earlier that afternoon.

...Or so he thought.

He ran with a coffee cup stuck to his foot. He jumped over a few baby Earth alligators that'd snuck into Hell somehow, and even stomped on one so hard, he continued running with his other foot in its now-dead snout.

"SHHHIIIT!"

Trying to skid underneath a car, but crawling out the other end like a scorpion instead, Blitzø eventually made it to Loona's apartment and hid at the entrance. He peaked over the steps to see if Verosika followed him the whole time he ran.

But to his surprise, she didn't.

Taking a deep breath and sighing in relief, he was just about to walk inside, when... 

???: *humming*

Hearing some soft melodic humming from nearby, Blitzø pulled out his revolver in case it really was Verosika. Before long, pointing his gun at the windows above, he heard it more clearly and was proven wrong again.

...

IN LOONA'S APARTMENT...

The humming came from Balin's bedroom, where Charlie was sitting on his bed and under the covers as she cradled the boy in her arms.

CHARLIE (singing in whispers):
Little darling. Eyes so blue...
Why are the clouds visiting you...?
Listen to my heart. Don't let yours fade away...
The sun shall bring you, a new smile today...

Millie only heard her purring, however, being the only one who watched from the bedroom door.

"Yep." she sniffled to herself, softly closing it. "She does that better than me."

The Goetias, Vaggie, and the rest of the I.M.P crew were sitting in the living room, either tired or emotional as Loona and Lucifer told them everything that happened today. From Belial faking his death in Hell to being betrayed by his new form, Devo. 

Just then, a knock on the door was heard.

Vaggie shuffled over and opened it to see it was Blitzø, his blazer still covered in engine grease.

"Oh, thanks a lot for waiting up for me back there, guys." he sarcastically said, trying to act casual. "Yeah, don't mind me being late."

"How can we?" replied Moxxie quietly in irritation. "After what we've been through today. After what HE'S-"

Millie sat down and stroked her husband's back to calm him before he could finish.

"Oh. We're still on this, huh?"

"Who the fuck in here isn't?" retorted Vaggie. "I mean, I had no idea 'bout what this guy could do or what he was. Or is. But, everyone else...?"

"So it's true." the boss looked to Stolas as he spoke to Loona, who had her back turned to him. "You're truly saying, B... th-THE Belial, himself, ...he's still a-alive?"

"Everyday he's been." Lucifer said from the couch, his head in his hands. "Everyday. When I didn't feel like I was starting to forget it. But not like this, would I've ever thought this memory would come back to- to... haunt, me."
