When we get to my shit-tastic house I drive my car into the shop area of the warehouse and let show the girls to the living quarters.
"I'm gonna work on my car, I'll make dinner when I'm done." I say to them smiling.
"Okay. Have fun." Izmar replies waving.
I take off my vest throwing it over the railing and walk to my car pulling my tool box along with me. As I start to fix my car I can't help the smirk forming on my face as I see the constant glances from the girls.
I put my hand up on where the dent in the fender is and push it back into place then circle it out. After that I walk over to my spare parts and grab a headlight to replace the missing one. Finally working on the scratch I peel off the excess metal from the door with my nail and weld it back into the large crevice. I walk over to grab a bottle of black spray paint and masking tape.
"Am I sweating...?" I say out loud.
"Guess I've gotten flabby in the last 2,000 years." I chuckle.
I finish repairs to the car and walk upstairs to the living area and grab a Miller light from the fridge.
Sitting down in the third seat around my small circular table I say "Sorry if this place is kinda trashy. It was cheap so I just got it for it's many uses." I flick off the bottle cap.
"No, it's fine." Laney says trying to look me in the eyes and not the abs.
"So I've been meaning to ask you something..."Izmar says.
"Shoot." I reply quickly.
"Well... Are you a hunter?" She asks bluntly.
The room goes silent for a few seconds.
"No. Not anymore." I reply taking a swig of my drink.
"Not anymore?" She questions.
"I was. Many years ago." I say slowly.
"Many years ago? But you're a freshman." She says.
"I know..." I say looking away.
Laney looks at Izmar and she shrugs.
"What happened?" Laney asks.
"You want to know what happened? Heh, God. God happened." I say chuckling.
Laney's eyes widen and she reaches into her hoodie.
My eyes roam over and I swing my arm up blocking hers as she brings a holy knife down trying to stab into my chest.
"What're you doing?" I ask quickly.
"If you live you pass, if you don't then you of course. Die." She replies.
"But If I am human then wouldn't a knife to the chest kill me?" I say dumbfounded
"You know it wouldn't." She says.
"Fine." I kick her in the stomach sitting her back down and push Izmar up against a wall as she reaches for another knife.
"And I thought we might have a nice friendship. But no, Michael wouldn't allow that would he?" I say to no one in particular.
As I start to close my fist strangling Izmar the room shakes and the lights flash on and off. In an instant it all stops and a man stands infront of me.
The man infront of me has a long black coat on and a black cowl over his mouth. His pants are slightly baggy and grey matching his black boots.
"Azrael..." I drop Izmar and walk towards him.
"Lucifer. It's been a while." He says then disappears.
"Well then. You here for a rea-" I find myself speechless as he reappears next to me with his hand in my gut. I cough up blood.
"My purpose here is the same as always. To reap." He says and throws my body into the wall behind me.
"Fine then buddy." The lights spaz out and the bulbs explode as darkness surrounds my body. My eyes flicker yellow and a large set of black wings break out of my back spewing blood in both directions, as well as covering the dark feathers in the crimson liquid.
Laney being the only one who can keep track of what is happening due to her angelic power sees the obviousness of my identity.
My arm slaps away a punch from Azrael and I slam my fist into his solar plexus then roundhouse him into the near wall. As his body bounces off the hard cinder I grab his face in my palm slamming him into the floor boards.
He disappears again and I cough out more blood as I find his knee in my stomach. He moves back then jumps kicking me through the hard cinder wall. He appears infront of me again and grabs be my the skin shoving his finger through it and picking me up. I wince at the pain and smirk.
He throws me back into the wall an knees me through it again. I jump up as his scythe comes down where I was barely missing me. I dodge his constant volley of slashes and grab the scythe, twisting his arm I kick him in the chest then fling him off the scythe.
I throw it at him and he knocks it away. Seeing the scythe heading towards Izmar I teleport to her pushing her out of the way and jump aside, the scythe cutting through my side. Blood spews out and flows down my side.
"Azrael...That was cheap." I say wincing and grabbing my wound.
"I do what has to be done." He replies blankly.
As I stand back up fully I find his fist once again removing all words from me and instead of leaving it this time he punches me over and over in the stomach causing my blood to spill out at a more constant rate. I work up most my energy into one punch and slam it into his chest sending him through a wall then use my bloodied hand to draw an Angelic banishing sigil.
As Azrael fades away he speaks
"Lucifer. This isn't the last you've seen of us." He says then disappears.
"Yeah...Whatever..." I say then fall over into a pool of my own blood. Blacking out.
