THE ANGEL OF DEATH † S.SQUAD

<1>

"This is what the Lord says; "about midnight I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt- worse than there has ever been or ever will be again."
-Exodus 11:4-6-

I sit crossed legged in the middle of my cell, my hands clasped together. "Father, what have I done wrong?" I whisper out into the void. "You've gone too far this time Azrael" he says only to me.

"But I only did what you asked" that was my job, kill people who needed to be killed. "You've gone too far this time, too many innocents have died, my children, my creations fall at your feet" a single tear falls from my face.

"I didn't know, I am sorry father" I say and bow my head. "I know you are and so am I" I can feel the disconnection, like someone just ended a call. I sit there wallowing in my own despair.

I hear footsteps approach but I don't look up, I know who it is and seeing that face will worsen my day. "Hello Angel" I scoff at the voice, the voice of a dick. "What do you want?" I ask in a bored tone, "Well I just came to see my favourite inmate" I roll my eyes.

"Well now that you've seen me, please leave" you could tell I was not in a good mood because I said please, I never say please. "Oh what? I thought that we were going to have some fun?" I stand up and walk towards him.

"I am not some toy that you can just fuck with whenever you want, you want to have fun go and use Floyd as a punching bag again, I know you got a real kick out of it last time".

He just clicked his tongue, "How do you know about that?" "I'm an angel dumbass, the angel of death at that". He just huffs and storms out, "Thank god".

I hear more footsteps walking towards me, but this time it's not the guards. "Hello Amanda, Rick" I say in a not so impressive tone. "Azrael" I flinch at the name.

"Only my family can call me that" I sneer, "Where is your family?" I laugh "Oh wouldn't you like to know, you people have always questioned religion" Rick steps closer to the bars.

"You know I've never met an angel before" I stand up and walk towards the bars "You still haven't" I smirk then I go and sit back down. "Death, we're here because-" I just wave my hand at her, telling her to shut up.

"I know why your here, assembling a team of bad guys, a suicide squad if you'll have it. You say that you want it for a new enemy but we all know you want this team so when something bad happens you won't get blamed for all the shit, now please do tell me if I'm wrong?".

She had a stern look on her face, "How do you know all of that?" I just laugh "Like I've said before I'm the Angel of death, you don't know what I can do".

I see a smirk grace ricks lips, "Then show us", my head tilts at this "You want me to show you? Hmm show you what exactly?" I lean against the bars now.

"Show us what you do, since none of us know, please do tell", I look him dead in the eye, that smirk still lingering on his mouth. "I'll have to think about it", I walk back towards my spot on the ground.
