Helluva Boss: A New Add-On to the Family

(Short) M n'M

Work was slow for Max and I.M.P today. Not many kills and it has been a week since he got his car back from some stupid wannabe drug dealer.

He was currently walking down the street with Verosika texting him about the group's drinking night. They would have their own drinks and see who can make the better liquor concoction.

Max:"I'm gonna need this tonight."

He walked into a little shop and saw that there was nobody in there besides . It was a little thing, not much inside but drinks, snacks, and other stuff for nights out or in. He was looking around for a specific brand of beer that Verosika wanted for tonight.

Max:"Goddamnit, where is it at?"

He searched all of the aisles for it and was getting slightly annoyed. Just as he was about to call Verosika and tell her he couldn't find it, a portal next to him suddenly opened.

Getting on the defensive, his hands suddenly flowed with magic as he looked at the portal flowing in front of him. A loafer shoe popped out and a figure with very curly hair looked around the shelves.

Max saw that he was wearing an old fashioned type shirt from olden days with sleek black pants. He also had yellow eyes and the same skin tone as Charlie.

The man sighed heavily.

?:"Uh-oh. Looks like my portals are on the fritz again."

The hellhound tilted his head in confusion at the new face in front of him. He sniffed the air to catch his scent and it was unrecognizable.

Max:"And who are you?"

The man seemed stunned and surprised.

?:"The Maestro. Do you really not know of me?"

Max:"Sorry to say. No I don't."

Maestro:"Hmm. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

He put a finger on his chin whilst walking around the hellhound.

Max:"You do familiar to me as well. But I can't quite pu—

His phone suddenly interrupted him and he took it out of his pocket to see that Verosika call him.

Max:"Yes babe?"

Verosika:"Where are you with the drinks? We're about to get started without you."

Max:"Sorry, but I've looked all over this fucking store and I don't think they carry it here."

Verosika:"Did you ask the clerk at all?"

Max:"Not yet. Some overlord came through a portal here and almost frightened me."

As Max looked over to see the overlord, he saw that the man was gone. It seemed the only evidence that he was there was a small piece of glitter on the ground.

He went to pick it up and it glistened softly in the light. Verosika also went silent before clearing her throat to catch his attention.

Max:"Oh my bad!"

The Maestro was seen in his office writing on a some paper before suddenly hearing three knocks from his door.

Maestro:"Come in!"

His secretary; Merrill came into the room with some papers.

Merrill:"Sir, it appears the Princess is here and seemingly asking for you. Will you go make sure that she is not threatened by our people?"

He nodded, put on some shades, and walked into a portal to go meet the princess of Hell.
