"I invite you to laugh, go ahead and see what happens when you laugh in the face of death... Remember no matter what you do I'll find you for I am inevitable"
~Crowley's PoV~
Adrestia, being Adrestia, decided that she quite liked my apartment and visits basically every day. She occasionally stays the night but only if she falls asleep, over the past five years she and I have become even closer, we hadn't seen this much of each other since World War II. Aziraphale says that she doesn't like the apartment she likes me and that's why she stays but as amazing as I am and as much as I would love to believe it's true I simply can't. Today was the day we all sign up for a job with the Antichrist and to say it was chaos would be generous...
"Why do I have to be the nanny?" I ask for the millionth time as Adrestia tried to decide on what colour of the dress I was to wear. "We've been over this Anthony, Aziraphale is the gardener cause he doesn't put the fear of Satan into the plants and they still grow beautifully.". "Yeah, but mine are better..." I pout, taking the black dress from Addie. "I'm the tutor as the family wants to seem down with the times and to support women in STEM, they are bound to hire me over a man." She smiles, pointing to herself. There was no doubting that Adrestia wasn't intelligent, hell she's even outsmarted me time and time again "I still don't understand why I have to dress as a woman." Adrestia just laughs at me, before shooing me out the room. "You pulled the short straw I guess, now go! I need to get changed and so do you!" She slams my bedroom door with an evil laugh making me smirk. "Guess I 'ought to get used to being all womanly, gotta start slamming doors on people." "HOI" I hear her shout and I quickly zoom away to get changed.
We pull up to the estate in the Bently, the entire car ride Adrestia wouldn't stop laughing at my sunglasses and after explaining to her about 50 times that a kid wouldn't like having a nanny with snake eyes she finally got the idea and shut up. "Right away we go, you go in the side door, I'll go to the main door." I say grabbing my 'purse' and looking over at Addie. She was wearing a simple outfit, yet she still looked adorable, did I really just say adorable, satan give me strength... "Hang on..." I said turning her head to look at me, "w-what?" She mumbles a slight blush evident on her pale face, "You're wearing my sunglasses!" I shout. "Nu-uh! You aren't using them and you have a drawer full of them!" She protests, opening the glove compartment to reveal my secret stash. "Shut up, fine you can keep them, they look good on you" I murmur before getting out the car. "Beg pardon?" She exclaims but with a snap of my fingers the car locks. I hear a muffled lemme out! But simply flip her off while walking up the drive. "I said, beg pardon, did thee Anthony Crowley just compliment me?" I jump, noticing the shadowy figure of Adrestia glide alongside me. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't now go and corrupt a kid!" I shout sending her away with a hunched over and sad looking face. Maybe I was a bit too mean...

The trio had been working furiously to try and make young Warlock a normal person, Aziraphale always preaching to the boy about my work and how to be the golden child any parent would wish for. Crowley telling the boy to be disrespectful and do the opposite of what the gardener would say. And Miss Death always inspiring the boy to do his best and to make his own decisions in life. She would also listen to all the boy's complaints about his nanny then go and tell him off for being too mean or too bossy, whatever the young master was annoyed about that day. The boy, in turn, would then talk about his 'amazing tutor Addie!" teaching whoever he met what he'd learned that day. Occasionally the trio would have a lunch break together, sitting together in the courtyard to discuss their lives and progress. Many of the staff would often stare and wonder why such polar opposite personalities would sit together. But of course, they didn't know the true story, did they?
Of course, the angel and demon would have to report their progress to their superiors, who kept constant watch of them both. Leaving Adrestia with some peace and quiet but of course she anxiously waited for the return of the boys, she became accustomed to the lifestyle, luckily she needn't be present for every death on the planet, just the ones that she deemed important. Death has a neat trick, often used at parties or to scare someone, she could look at anyone and tell them their entire life story and even the exact date and time of their death. Some people Adrestia grew attached to and in this case, her trick became less neat, more of a curse. Adrestia occasionally enjoyed being death but she often found herself feeling as though something or someone was missing.

"Can I come?" I ask, walking alongside Crowley and Aziraphale to the main entrance of the afterlife. "What? No, no you wouldn't like it" Crowley replied, looking over at me and furiously shaking his head. "Please Crowley, I've been to hell before and I am aware it's a complete shithole, however, I have nothing better to do today," I say, giving him puppy dog eyes. "What could go wrong, come on then," He says, taking my hand in his and leading me through the portal, of course, the instant I arrive my black wings pop out. "Oh for fuck's sake, get away you pesky wings you only get in my way!" I sigh making them as small as possible then weaving through the crowds, everyone staring at myself and Crowley, his grip getting tighter as we neared 'head office' I smile "I can't wait to meet your friends" bouncing up and down I grin like a Cheshire cat, he simply laughs, "these guys aren't my friends" he says, entering the room.
"Hello, brought someone along this time, room meet Adrestia, Adrestia meet room" Crowley says, raising our hands and bowing. "Sup?" I say, waving meekly as the room erupts into whispers. "You know visitors aren't allowed Crowley, get her out of here!" The chief of hell states, pointing to the door. Crowley frowns, clearly agitated I step forward "Oh, hunny I'm not an ordinary visitor" two men come over to us one with a frog on his head the other with some sort of Lizard. "We'll take care of her, nice and good no worries," The frog one says causing Crowley to step forward, shielding me from the man, "Over my dead body, you go near her and I'll skin you alive you hear me?" he growls, his voice incredibly low. I feel my cheeks go red before returning to the lord of the flies "You know me, Death right?" The room falls silent and a few people drop to their knees, making me laugh "You guys are hilarious wow, ok I'm done bye Crowley, see you later!" I wave, leaving the room astonished, I hear Crowley shout back, "Bye love!" And my face goes bright red, love? He couldn't love me... I love him though
