Supernatural: Wayward Sons: Monster Squad

Graceland, Part 4

As Jesse lay in the bed in Todreel's makeshift home, the young man drifted in and out of consciousness. His demon powers had been pushed over the limit, and without Lucifer's influence in the world to power him, Jesse was now dying. As it stood, even with the angel Todreel's ability to heal, Jesse only had less than two hours left to live. The Anti-Christ moaned while tossing and turning, his demonic side slowly destroying his body. The pain was unbearable and felt like his insides were melting.

It wasn't long before Jesse had fallen back into unconsciousness from the pain, this time finding himself standing in the middle of what looked like a smoking wasteland. There was decay, ruin, and skeletons everywhere, of human, angels, and demons. There was barely any color, as everything looked gray.

"This is new," Jesse said as he looked around, not even caring that he was still naked. At least no one was around to see him like this.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?"

"Who's there?" Jesse asked as he quickly covered his lower region with both hands as he tried to see through the smoke.

A figure started coming through the dense smoke, the first thing being noticeable were his glowing red eyes.

"Hello, Jesse," Lucifer said with a devilish grin. The man spoke in a calming tone as he came into full view. "It's so good to finally meet the boy I've heard so much about. We have a lot to discuss."

"Die, traitor!" Todreel shouted as he flew toward Alfie with his angel blade drawn. Just as he was mere inches from the former angel, Connor tackled Todreel to the ground.

"Vampire scum!" Todreel shouted as he backhanded Connor, sending him flying back and crashing the vampire into a tree, where the teenager made an imprint in the wood. Todreel stood up, grabbing his angel blade.

"Todreel," Alfie said. "It's been a while."

"You betrayed me. You locked me away, destroyed my chances to be loyal to Lucifer."

"Lucifer is evil, he would destroy you the second you were of no use to him."

"Better the devil himself than the father who abandoned his children."

"Ooh, someone's got daddy issues," Asher said with a slight laugh.

"God had his reasons for leaving," Alfie told Todreel. "I believe he still loves us. All of us. Just as you once loved me."

"Don't," Todreel said angrily as he held his blade out. "Don't you dare speak of what we shared."

Connor was holding his sore back as he walked toward them, looking between the two. "Uhhh... is there more to this story than what we were told, Alfie?"

"Go ahead, Samandriel, tell them of the forbidden love we shared," Todreel said bitterly as Asher held up a finger to try to take this all in.

"Alfie... what the &#*@?"

"Yeah, dude," Connor said as he tried to understand what was going on. "I thought you were straight."

"Angels do not possess human traits such as gender, or genitals," Alfie explained. "Only when we possess human vessels do we obtain such things. Todreel and I were... lovers in Heaven when I was a cupid and he was serving under Raphael. It was forbidden for any angel to be in such a relationship, so we kept it hidden for centuries."

"Then the whole Lucifer thing messed everything up," Asher realized.

"Yes, Todreel broke what I guess you'd call my heart by siding with Lucifer. I was afraid he'd be banished to Hell, or worse, killed for treason, so I made sure he wasn't around when Lucifer was banished. It was one of my first act when God promoted me from cupid to angel."
