It was a dark and wet night when Blitz Buckzo’s life changed. He’d once again gotten into an argument with his current girlfriend, Verosika Mayday, and needed some air. It was as he was passing an alley that a whimpering caught his attention. Now normally, he wouldn’t give two shits, but something about this whimpering seemed different. Placing a hand on his gun, he moved forward.

He silently made his way down the alley as he didn’t want to let whoever it was know he was coming. Before long, he found the source but it wasn’t what he had been expecting. Hidden inside of a dirty cardboard box was a child that looked no more than four-years-old. Big green frightened eyes looked up at him and something in Blitz broke. “Hey kiddo, what are you doing out here in the rain?”

He kept his voice soft so as not to frighten the kid anymore then he already was. Sniffing the air slightly, Blitz could pick up the metallic smell of blood and realized it was coming from the kid. “If you’re hurt, I can help fix it but ya need to come with me.” He wasn’t a hundred percent sure this would work, seeing as he was some random creepy imp wondering around at night.

The kid seemed to slowly calm down, looking at Blitz from top to bottom. He seemed to find something he liked, because he slowly reached a hand out. The imp gently took it and slowly helped the kid out of the box. Blitz still couldn’t make out much of the kid’s features, but to the imp he looked more human than he should. As he was still kneeling down, Blitz could see that the kid wasn’t wearing any shoes and a shirt that was several sizes too big. “Is it ok if I carry you? Don’t want’cha steppin on anything bad.”

Once more, the kid stared at him as if judging his soul, before slowly nodding. Being mindful of any possible injures, Blitz carefully carried the kid home. Thankfully, Verosika wasn’t there so he didn’t have to deal with her screaming at him about the kid. “Alright bud, let’s get ya cleaned up and then treat your boo-boos.” Blitz blinked stupidly for a second, as his inner dad came out. It always happened when he was left alone with kids for any period of time.

The kid tensed up as they got closer to the bathroom, something Blitz noticed right away. Digging under the bathroom sink, he found what he was looking for. “Here, why don’t ya hold on ta him while we get you cleaned up?” The kid looked from the blue pony to Blitz and then back again. Seeing no need to rush the clearly abused kid, Blitz patiently waited. After a couple of minutes, he hesitantly took the toy and stared at it, curiosity shining bright in his eyes.

Chuckling softly, Blitz slowly turned the water on and filled the tub just enough to reach the middle of the kid stomach. “Ok bud, bath time.” Still seeing how tense the poor kid was, Blitz stuck his hand in. “See, it’s safe and warm. Do you need help takin your shirt off?” The kid stared at him skeptically, but did nod. Once more, being mindful of any injures, Blitz carefully took the kids shirt off and had to bite down his anger. Cuts, burns, bruises, and welts littered the poor kids’ body, some of the cuts were still sluggishly bleeding.

Yeah, even if he did find out who the kid’s parents were, Blitz wasn’t giving him back. Honestly, there was something about the kid that the imp couldn’t place. He really wasn’t sure if he’d be able to give him up to anyone at this point. Shaking his head, Blitz grinned at the kid. “So, bud, do you think you can tell me your name?” Fear appeared once more in the kid’s eyes but so did something else. He opened and closed his mouth a couple of times, most likely afraid of being punished for speaking. But he did eventually get there. “Teacher says it’z Hadrian… but everyone else says Freak or Boy.”

If it wasn’t for Blitz’s good hearing, he might have missed the last part. Yup, whoever the kid’s previous guardians were, were going to die. “Well Hadrian, my name is Blitz the ‘O’ is silent.” He added with a playful wink which caused the kid to giggle softly. “Ok, bath time!” Blitz cheered happily as he gently tickled Hadrian’s sided making him laugh again.

It took two changes of water before Blitz was satisfied. Hadrian thankfully seemed to calm down more throughout the process once he realized that Blitz wasn’t going to hurt him. “Ok, time to treat those boo-boos. This might sting a little, but we need to get ‘em clean so ya don’t get sick, ok?” Hadrian nodded slowly, seemingly trying to fight off sleep. It didn’t take long to patch the kid up, but now came the trick of getting him dressed. Luckily, some of his boxers shrank the other day in the drier, so they would work for now and then Hadrian could just wear one of his shirts.

The poor kid was still trying not to fall asleep, which Blitz found cute. Thankfully, Verosika wasn’t going to be back anytime soon, so Hadrian could just share the bed with him. “Night kiddo.” Hadrian snuggled up to him and Blitz couldn’t fight off the purr that was building up as he too fell asleep.

The next morning, Blitz would have chalked it all up to being a dream if it wasn’t for the fact that a teary-eyed Hadrian barreled into his chest. “Hey hey, what’s up Hady? Did ya have a nightmare?” The little boy continued to sob, so Blitz just waited it out. After a few minutes, he did calm down but wouldn’t move from his hiding spot. Blitz gently ran his claws through the little boy’s hair soothingly. “You ok now?”

Hadrian nodded quickly, “Thought it was all a dream and I’d be back in my cupboard.” Hearing this, Blitz had to take a deep breath so as not to frighten Hadrian. “Well, if I have it my way, we’ll be stuck together for the rest of your life. You’re my kid now and anyone who says otherwise can fight me!” His newly claimed son looked up at him in wonder. “Really?” Blitz nodded firmly, “Really really. So, how old are ya?”

His son’s adorable little face scrunched up, “Six… I think, what’s today?” Once more, Blitz took a deep breath before answering Hadrian’s question. “According to my phone, it’s August first.” The little boy nodded happily, “Then I’m six! I made a wish and it came true this time!” Hadrian cheered, waving his arms in the air. Blitz raised an eyebrow, “Oh, and can ya tell me what it was?”

Hadrian giggled happily, “I wished for a daddy or mommy who would love me even if I was a freak!” Blitz smiled sadly and gently ruffled his son’s hair. “You’re not a freak, ok?” Hadrian scrunched up his face again, “But I turned the mean teacher’s hair blue and got onto the school roof. Oh, I can talk to snakes too!”

Blitz blinked in shock and slowly connected the dots. “Sounds like you have magic, kiddo. I know of some demons that can use it, though the talking to snake’s thing is new.” Upon hearing the word ‘magic’ Hadrian covered his ears and shock his head. “That’z a bad word.”

The imp snorted, “I know plenty of bad words and magic isn’t one of them. And as your new daddy, I would never lie to ya.” Hadrian looked a little unsure before pouting. Blitz raised an eyebrow again. “What?” His son pouted harder as he moved his hands to his head, that’s when it clicked for Blitz. Hadrian was pouting over his lack of horns. “Sorry kiddo, nothin I can do about you not having horns. But I can do something about the growlin tummy.” Blitz gently poked him and Hadrian started giggling.

Scooping the giggling child up, Blitz walked to the kitchen and was very thankfully not to spot any of Verosika’s sex toys. He placed Hadrian on the counter opposite the stove and pulled out some eggs and bacon. “So Hady, we’re gonna need to go clothes shoppin seeing as you can’t keep wearing my shirts. I should have some shorts you can wear, though shoes should be our first stop.” Blitz began mumbling to himself while he continued cooking. Seeing as Hadrian was behind him, he didn’t notice what the little boy was up to until he turned around.

The imp nearly jumped out of his skin when he turned around to find Hadrian grinning at him with sharp teeth, horns, and a tail. The horns and tail were both pitch black and the horns had a slight corkscrew shape. As for the tail, it reminded Blitz of a picture he once saw that depicted a dragon, scales and all. “Look daddy, I wished really hard for a tail and horns!” Blitz wasn’t sure if he should be feeling proud right now, but he was. “That’s cool, Hady! But promise me that ya won’t try and change anything else about yourself until you’re older.”

Hadrian nodded quickly, looking a bit upset. “Now don’t do that, I’m very proud of you but you’re still growing and I don’t want ya ta hurt yourself, ok?” Blitz kissed his son’s forehead, earning himself a happy giggle. With the food now done, Blitz picked Hadrian up and placed him at the table. They were half way through eating when Verosika made her appearance, much to Blitz’s dismay.

“FUCK! That party was lit! At least there were guys there that knew how to fuck a girl right! Hear that Blitz-O!” Hadrian shrank down into his seat the more Verosika shouted. Blitz seeing this, picked his son up. “Sssshhhh Hady, daddy’s here. I won’t let her hurt you.” Hadrian was still tense but seemed to believe him. At some point during her rant, Verosika finally noticed the little boy. “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!”

Blitz knew what the outcome of this was going to be and was prepared, but first he had to get Hadrian out of harm’s way. “I found him last night. Once I get him settled, I plan to adopt him properly.” Verosika’s eyes glowed in anger before a sly smile graced her lips. She swayed back and forth as she got closer. “Now Blitz, why do that? With a kid, we can’t have all the fun we do and what if you fuck him up?”

The imp flinched slightly but knew what she was doing. It happened every time they fought, normally about something he wanted. She’d press his buttons and break him down; it was one of the many reasons they fought so much. He steadied himself for what was to come next. “Then what do you suggest I do?”

Verosika smiled wider, thinking she had won once again. “Well, how about you get rid of him now and when you get back, we have some fun?” She glared hard at Hadrian once more but this was the chance Blitz had been looking for. “Sure. I’ll be back in a few.”

He made sure to look defeated as he walked out the door, but the moment it shut behind him, Blitz kissed Hadrian’s head. “Buddy, daddy needs you to be a good boy and wait in the van for me, ok? Daddy needs to come back and get his stuff so that we never have to see her again.” The little boy nodded, clutching the blue pony once more. Blitz figured that his son had summoned it during Verosika’s yelling.

While he didn’t want to leave Hadrian in the van by himself, he sure as hell didn’t want to subject Hadrian to Verosika more then he already had. “Hady, daddy is gonna be back in a few minutes. Stay in the van and in the back, there are a lot of bad demons that would hurt you if they could. Daddy doesn’t want to leave you here, but he doesn’t want ya near Verosika either. Be a good boy and I’ll be right back.”

Hadrian nodded slowly before curling up in a ball by the back door. “You’ll come back, right?” Blitz nodded with a smile before closing the door and making sure it was locked.

Hadrian sat on the floor holding his pony. Daddy hadn’t said what the pony’s name was, so the little boy had just been calling him Mr. Bubble. Right now, the pony was grazing on one of daddy’s socks, such a silly pony! Hadrian giggled to himself but spotted something under the back seat.
Hidden under an old bag was a bright green pony with a clover on its side. “Look Mr. Bubble, another pony to play with! I think I’ll call you clover, since you have one.” Hadrian once more went back to playing while he waited for his daddy to come back.

Before long he heard the side door unlocking and was excited to see that his daddy was back.

Blitz sighed heavily but felt better than he had in months. Sure he got into a fist fight with Verosika when she realized that he wasn’t giving up Hady but it wasn’t anything he hadn’t expected. Now sporting a busted lip and black eye with quite a bit of bruising elsewhere, Blitz walked back over to the van and unlocked the side door.

Hadrian excitedly greeted him but paused upon seeing his injures. “Don’t worry, Hady. This is why daddy had you wait in the van while I grabbed some things.” Blitz flashed him a smile and laughed upon seeing the two ponies. “I see you found Rubber band!” The little boys face scrunched up as he shook his head. “Her name is Clover! Rubber band is a silly name for a pony.” He added with a sharp nod.

Blitz snickered but conceded defeat to his son. “Fair enough! Now, let’s go shoppin and then head to our new home!” Thankfully Blitz still paid rent on his old apartment. It wasn’t much but at least it wasn’t anywhere near Verosika and she also didn’t know about it.

Hadrian looked around the mall and at all the demons. There were so many of them and they all looked so cool! “Daddy, it’z so cool!” Blitz chuckled as he continued to make his way to the shoe shop. “It sure is, Hady. But remember that not all demons are nice demons, so don’t trust them.”
The little boy nodded happily, still looking around the mall in pure joy. Blitz was actually rather glad for the fact that Hadrian gave himself horns and a tail. Seeing as it made him look more like a demon then the human Blitz suspected he was. Before long, they reached the store. “Ok buddy, let’s get you some cool shoes!”

Hadrian giggled happily and looked around the shelves. As they were looking around, a shop attendant walked up to them. She looked like an orange tabby and was about the same height as Blitz. “Well hello gentlemen! My name is Macie, can I help you find anything?”

The imp was going to say no at first, but then changed his mind. He had no experience buying shoes for little boy feet, let alone feet with toes. “Yeah, my son needs a new pair of shoes. Actually, make that three pairs plus socks.” Macie smiled happily, “Of course! Do you know his shoe size?” Blitz shook his head, “I just adopted him yesterday, so I’m a little out of my element if you know what I mean.”

Macie smiled wider and laughed, “That’s just fine, I’ve helped a lot of first time parents!” She then directed her attention to Hadrian, who was looking at her in amazement. “Hey there little buddy, are you excited to get some new shoes?!” Hadrian nodded slowly, “You’re pretty…” Macie laughed happily and gently ruffled Hadrian’s hair, being mindful of his horns. “You are just the sweetest little boy I’ve ever met! Let’s get your feet measured and I can show you all the fun shoes!”

Blitz was quite pleased so far with Macie. She didn’t discriminate against him being an imp nor did she treat Hadrian like a brainless child. The hellcat kept Hadrian involved and the little boy simply adored her. Right now she was showing him some light up shoes that had Hadrian laughing as he ran around in them.

“All of our shoes can be equipped with tracking chips, in case the child gets lost. Most parents appreciate the option, given that this is hell and all.” Blitz blinked in surprise, “Really?” Macie nodded, “It’s something the owner installed when one of his own kids got lost two years ago and it’s also the reason our shop is so popular.” Blitz nodded, “Thanks and I’ll take you up on the offer.”

Macie smiled happily and it only grew wider when Hadrian ran over to them. “Daddy, look!” The little boy jumped and when he landed, the shoes lit up. “That’s so cool, buddy! Why don’t we let Macie see your shoes real quick and then we can head to our next stop of the day.” Hadrian nodded quickly and took off his shoes, reveling his new bright blue socks.

After paying for the shoes and socks, they waved goodbye to Macie and headed off to the clothes store. Hadrian was holding Blitz’s hand but his focus was on his shoes. The imp chuckled, “Careful there, Hady. Don’t want to walk into someone or somethin.” The little boy looked up at him for a second before looking forward, seeming to see the wisdom in his father’s words. As they got closer to the clothes store, Hadrian seemed to curl into Blitz’s side. Knowing why, the imp picked the little boy up. “Hey now, there’s no need to be scared. Your boo-boos mean you’re a survivor, just like me.” Blitz then pointed to the white spot on the right side of his face.

Hadrian gently touched it and then looked down at himself. “…ok.” Blitz kissed all over the kids face, earning himself a happy giggle. “Good! So let’s get ya some fuckin cool new clothes that actually fit ya!” The imp cheered as they entered the store. Unlike when they were picking out shoes, no one came to ask if they needed help which suited Blitz just fine.

“Ok Hady, you pick out what ya like and then we’ll see if they have it in your size. Don’t worry about anything but that, ok?” Hadrian looked up at him and slowly nodded, which Blitz accepted. “I don’t want you ta go too far out of sight, ok.” Once more, the little boy nodded but something seemed to catch his eye. Blitz tried to see what Hadrian was looking at but couldn’t figure it out. So, placing the kid down, he followed him through the racks of clothing.

Before long, Hadrian stopped to stare at a bright blue sweater that had a green balloon animal horse on the front. Well, looked like Blitz managed to bring Hadrian over to the pony side without even trying! It was the last one on the rack, so the odds of them having Hadrian’s size wasn’t very likely. “Nothin wrong with liking big sweaters. If ya want it Hady, I’ll go grab a cart to put it in. We’re going to need one anyway since we’re buying you a whole new wardrobe.” Well it was technically Verosika that was paying for everything but that wasn’t the point.

Hadrian quickly grabbed the sweater and followed his daddy back towards the front of the store. Once the sweater was safely placed in the cart, the little boy started looking around once more. With some help from Blitz, they got Hadrian a couple of pants, shirts, underwear, pajamas, shorts, and even a few skirts and dresses. Blitz wasn’t one to judge seeing as he wore dresses himself on occasion.

Quite a lot of the clothes had some form of pony and/or horse on them, plus some snakes. Hadrian was currently wearing a pair of jeans and a bright checkered tee-shirt that depicted the game ‘Snakes and Ladders’. The little boy was happily bouncing up and down as they walked back to the van. Blitz was carrying quite the number of bags but he’d done this for the ex-bitch, so he wasn’t having any troubles. As they were about to leave, Blitz spotted another shop from the corner of his eye. Smiling slyly at the oblivious child, Blitz made a plan. “Hady, can you wait in the van for daddy? He needs to make one more stop but it’s a surprise.”

Hadrian looked up at him with big eyes, clearly wanting to know what the surprise was. “Yes, daddy! I can play with Mr. Bubble and Clover and show them my new shoes!” Blitz chuckled, pleased that Hadrian wasn’t trying to ask him about what the surprise was.

Once Hadrian and the shopping bags were safely in the van, Blitz rushed back to the store. He didn’t even need to think about what to get as he knew his kid pretty good by now. With his purchases in hand, the imp rushed back to the van and found Hadrian still playing in the back. “Ok buddy, when we get home I’ll give ya your surprise. Though, we should probably grab some food on the way there, seeing as the fridge is gonna be empty.” This part he mumbled to himself but Hadrian cheered anyway.

One stop at WackDonald’s later, they were soon home. Blitz stopped by the apartment every other week when he could to dust and make sure the place didn’t have fucking squatters or something. Hadrian ran around the place looking at everything he could, making Blitz chuckle. “Hady, do you want to sleep in your own room tonight or sleep with me?”

Hadrian peeked over the couch, clearing thinking about it. “Can I stay with you a little longer?” Blitz chuckled, seeing no reason to say no at the moment. Maybe when he was older, but that wasn’t going to be any time soon. “Sure, but do you want to see your surprise?”

The raven haired child launched himself over the couch and rushed over to the imp, his tail wagging excitedly. “YES!” Blitz chuckled happily and pulled out the bag from the toy store. He’d take Hadrian there soon, but he needed to get food in the apartment first. “Here you go.” Hadrian lit up and carefully opened the bag.

Inside were two stuffed animals. One was a purple sparkly horse with wings and the other was a pastel colored snake with its tongue out. Hadrian stared at him in pure joy. “I’m going to call the horse Joy and the snake… Daisy!”

While they weren’t the names Blitz would have picked, they weren’t his. Hadrian was happy and that was all that mattered.

It had been about two months since Blitz ‘adopted’ Hadrian and he was starting to have one reoccurring concern. With the imp needing to leave on assassinations, that meant leaving the six-year-old alone at the apartment. Blitz really didn’t like doing it, even though Hadrian didn’t seem to mind. The imp had tried looking into babysitters but none of the bastards were to Blitz’s liking. He actually had to go on another hit today and that’s what brought the feelings up once more.

Hadrian was just happily working on a drawling at the coffee table, completely oblivious to his father’s concerns. The raven haired child had been working on the same picture for almost a week and refused to show it off until he was done. Blitz figured it was a drawling of a vision, seeing as Hadrian had them off and on over the past month and a half. They had actually saved the imp on more than one occasion from backstabbing clients, either literally or because the bastards weren’t going to pay.

“Baby boy, are you sure that you’re ok with daddy leaving you home alone?” Blitz asked for the fifth time that morning. Hadrian nodded, though most of his attention was on his picture. Just before a guilty feeling Blitz could leave, Hadrian ran over with his picture. “You’re not allowed to look until you get there.” Blitz took the folded paper from the stern faced six-year-old and tried not to laugh. Seeing as he normally got to look at it if it was work related, Blitz figured it was for something else the imp was most likely going to do that day.

“Ok kiddo, I promise not to peek but remember that daddy will call you once he’s done killing some bitches.” He’d bought his kid a hellphone not long after taking up his assassination jobs once more so that Hadrian could get ahold of him in an emergency. Blitz gave Hadrian a hug and kiss before he left for the day.

Once the door was shut and locked, Hadrian ran over to his secret project. Reaching under the couch, he pulled out the sewing kit his daddy had let him get and then pulled out the stuffed animal. He needed to get it done before daddy got home tonight!

Blitz had just gotten his last hit done for the night when he passed by a certain building. It was one of the few hellhound adoption centers in Pride and by the looks of it, one of the poorer maintained. He was just going to keep driving when a thought struck him. What if he got a hellhound to stay home with Hadrian? If trained right, they’d keep him safe while the imp wasn’t home and that would ease his mind.

Taking the sharp turn right, Blitz pulled into the empty parking lot. Just as he was about to get out of the van, he remembered the picture. Taking it from his coat pocket, he gently unfolded it. It showed three figures, two of which Blitz recognized. One was of himself and the other was of Hadrian but the other figure wasn’t one he recognized. It was a hellhound with white fur wearing a red top with black pants.

“So that’s what he meant. If his visions get any stronger, I won’t be able to surprise the little shit anymore.” He said with a chuckle before getting out of the van and heading for the doors. The inside was just as dirty as the outside and the lady that ran the place seemed beyond uninterested. Blitz listened to her drown on and on about some of the hellhounds in the facility but none of them looked like what Hadrian drew.

As he was about to give up and check somewhere else, he heard growling. Looking to his left he spotted a white wolf-like hellhound growling at a younger one. She was wearing a long sleeved red shirt and black leggings. “Who’s that?”

The attendant finally stopped talking and looked at the girl. “Oh, that’s Loona, quite the handful. She’ll be aged out of the system before long…” Blitz knew that the bitch was still talking but didn’t care. “I’ll take her.” The lady paused, eyeing him and then Loona. “Sir, are you sure?” Blitz touched the picture still in his pocket and nodded firmly.

The lady sighed, “Very well. I’ll have you fill out the paperwork and bring her to the front.” Blitz really didn’t care about what else the bitch had to say as all of his focus was on the hellhound curled into the corner with tallies all over the wall.

After an hour of filling out paperwork and paying the adoption fee, Blitz was now impatiently waiting for the bitch to bring Loona up front. He wasn’t annoyed at Loona, the poor teen probably thought he was a pervert or something. It took another ten minutes for them to come up front. Loona wasn’t looking at anything but the floor, a small black backpack over her shoulder. The old bitch had the nerve to try and make Loona look up at him but he put a stop to it real quick.

“Hey! She’s my kid now and if she doesn’t want to look at your ugly ass face then she doesn’t have to.” He growled out, surprising the bitch and by the looks of it Loona as well. Blitz smiled happily at the teen and motioned for her to follow him. “Hello Loona, my name is Blitz the ‘O’ is silent and I’m your new dad! Looks like we got two hours to waste before heading home, so we can stop by the mall and pick you up some more clothes and stuff if you’d like?”

Loona looked at him warily as she got into the front seat. Blitz noticed this and pulled the picture from his pocket and held it out to her. “It’s nothing dirty if that’s what you’re worried about. Just look at it and I’ll explain as I drive us to the mall.” The hellhound cautiously took the paper and slowly opened it. Blitz could see her confusion and chuckled softly. “Hadrian, my son and your new little bother, worked on that for over a week. He has magic and it’s pretty strong given the fact that he’s only six. For the last month and a half, he’s been having visions in his sleep that he’d later draw. All of them have been correct and have saved me more than once. So, when he gave me that this morning and told me not to look ‘until I got there’ you can imagine my surprise.”

He could feel Loona looking at him, much like how Hadrian had when he first found the little boy. “I had forgotten about it until I was about to go into the center. Guess I might not be able to surprise the little shit for much longer.” Blitz added with a laugh, though Loona still seemed torn on believing him. Unlike Hadrian, Loona was a grown ass teen that had seen and been through far too much to just instantly trust him. Though Hadrian probably trusted him so fast because he wasn’t human like the people that had abused him.

The rest of the trip to the mall was in silence, not that Blitz expected much else. Parking the van, he happily hopped out and patently waited for Loona. She took a couple of minutes, most likely trying to test his patience. Seeing that he wasn’t going to lose it on her for taking so long, she finally got out of the van and followed him to the doors. “Seeing as I still have my bitch of an ex’s card, go nuts but we do need to stop by the art store before leaving.” Loona looked at him questioningly, “First off, your bitch of an ex? And secondly, why the art store?” Blitz smiled widely seeing as this was the first time she had actually spoken to him. “Well, my bitch of an ex is Verosika Mayday and the reason she is my ex is because she threatened Hadrian so I stole her card and used it to buy his new clothes and stuff. She hasn’t canceled it, so I can only assume she hasn’t noticed it missing yet. As for the art store, I promised to buy your brother some new colored pencils.”

Loona went from looking shocked to angry and then settled on a little smile that she tried to hide. “Fine but we’re going to Stylish Occult.” Blitz smiled even wider seeing as that’s where he normally got his stuff. “Great! I’ve been meaning to stop by and get a new coat. Maybe see if they have one in Hady’s size, he’d look so fuckin cute!” Loona looked a bit surprised but didn’t say anything.

Thankfully the store wasn’t too busy so Blitz didn’t have to worry about punching someone for stepping on his tail. “Get what you want and meet me at the register. OH! Do you have a hellphone or do we need to pick one up?” Loona pulled out her phone from her pocket and showed the imp. “Perfect! I’ll give ya my number so that way we can stay in touch. Just in case you’re not ready, I can run to the art store and grab Hadrian’s pencils.”

Thankfully, Loona didn’t argue and texted him a middle finger which made Blitz laugh. “You… you said that Hadrian’s six, right?” The imp nodded, wondering where this was going. “Does… what does he like?” Blitz smiled softly at her, “Hady was heavily abused before I found him so he grew really attached to ponies and the color blue, seeing as a blue pony was the first real toy he ever had. He’s also fond of snakes and cats. The first demon he ever met that wasn’t me or that bitch was a hellcat named Macie. She helped him pick out some shoes and he simply adored her.” He added with a chuckle and even caught Loona briefly smile.

For the next hour, the two did their own thing, though Blitz did check in with Loona ever now and then. She said she was still looking, so Blitz bought his and Hadrian’s coats and popped over to the art store. Along with the pencils he also grabbed a bigger drawing pad. It only took him a few minutes but by the time he got back, Loona was waiting at the register with quite the haul. “You find everything ya want or need?” This was a genuine question, which Loona seemed to get. “Yeah.” Blitz raised an eyebrow when she didn’t look at him but one look at the pile of clothes revealed why. At the top of the pile was a really soft looking black blanket with blue pentagrams and green snakes. Blitz didn’t say anything and simply paid for it all; maybe Loona was warming up to the idea of a brother?

By the time they got back to the apartment it was almost seven, though Blitz did prepare dinner the night before just in case he got home late. “Hadrian still sleeps in my room, so the other room is all yours. If you’d like to get some decorations we could go back to the mall this weekend or you and Hady could go together tomorrow?” Loona seemed to think it over but didn’t say anything.

As Blitz unlocked the door, he spotted a bright eyed Hadrian staring at him from behind the couch. His tail was up in the air slowly waving back and forth. “You are not allowed to tackle, ya little shit.” The tail didn’t stop but at least his eyes dimmed just a bit. Loona peeked in through the door and stared wide eyed at the clearly real six-year-old.

Hadrian launched himself over the couch and rushed the clearly shocked hellhound. “Hi! I’m Hadrian! You’re a lot prettier in person then in my dream and you look a lot happier too! OH!” Hadrian rushed back to the couch and dove to the floor. Blitz rolled his eyes with a chuckle, clearly used to the little boys antics. “Sorry about that, Loona. Though it is a good sign that he’s not hiding from you. That’s what happened when I was trying to find a babysitter for him. I actually shot the last one when he called Hady an ugly brat. Thankfully the kid was taking a nap and he can sleep through pretty much anything. I’ll show ya your room.”

Loona nodded slowly but still kept an eye on where Hadrian’s tail was. “It’s not much but like I said, you can decorate it how ya like.” He set the clothes bags on the floor near the closet and handed Loona a key. “So you can have privacy as you like or to simply keep Hadrian out if ya don’t want him in your room when you’re not home. Not that he’d come in without permission but I’ll leave that up to you.”

As if to prove this point, Hadrian excitedly knocked on the open door. He was holding a cardboard box with drawings all over it. Loona smiled softly again, “Yeah kid?” Hadrian remained by the door and bashfully held up the box. “I made this for you.” Loona waved him over to the bed where she was sitting.

The kid hesitated for a moment before hopping up to sit next to her. He once more held up the box to her. Loona gently took it and carefully cut the tape with her claws; she secretly wanted to keep the box. Neatly nestled inside was a black, red, white, and gray patchwork hellhound with white button eyes. Loona was surprised by how much it looked like herself. “I knew daddy was going to bring you home soon and I wanted you’re first toy to be just as special as Mr. Bubble!” He then pulled the pony out of his hoodie pocket. The hoodie actually belonged to Blitz but the six-year-old liked wearing it.

Loona looked like she was about to cry but covered it by letting her hair cover her face for a second. After she had a moment to calm down, she reached for the bag at the foot of the bed and gave it to Hadrian. “Well, since you gave me this, I guess I can give you this in return.” The six-year-old looked down at the black bag and carefully pulled the blanket out. He squealed excitedly and instantly hugged Loona.

The hellhound wasn’t sure what to do and simply placed her paw on his head. “Yeah, yeah, you’re welcome!” She was blushing hard and growled at Blitz when he took a picture of the two. “Delete it right now before I kill you!” The imp laughed hard and ran from the room, Loona chasing him and Hadrian laughing his little ass off.

Loona was chilling out on the couch, watching Hadrian work on a drawling. She didn’t think it was a vision, just him doing kid thinks. “Hey, Loo-Loo? Can we make cookies?” The hellhound looked up from her phone, sighing in defeat over the nickname once more. He had started calling her that not long after she settled in and he was the only one she let call her that.

“Why do you want to make cookies all of a sudden?” Hadrian frowned, “Daddy had a nightmare again last night. He tried not to wake me up… Don’t like it when daddy cries.” Loona looked surprised but then again, Blitz did have the air of a survivor. “Well, if we’re going to make cookies we better go to the store and get some more chocolate.” Hadrian lit up and rushed to grab his coat and shoes. Loona would never openly admit it but the kid looked adorable in the coat Blitz bought him a few weeks ago.

She double checked the tracking app on her phone, something Blitz insisted she have even if she could track Hadrian by scent, before grabbing her wallet. “Remember kid, you are to stay with me and take nothing from anyone.” Hadrian nodded happily and grabbed her hand once they were on the street. He hadn’t done so originally but Loona quickly realized the main reason Blitz did it all the time.
Hadrian was easily distracted.

Loona learned this the hard way a week after meeting the kid. They were walking to the store and she had been looking at something on her phone. Loona was half way down the street when she realized that Hadrian wasn’t beside her any more. Looking back, she had found him staring at some graffiti. So yeah, she made sure to hold his hand after that.

Upon entering the store Loona headed straight for the baking isle. Knowing that Hadrian wouldn’t leave the isle without her, she set him loose. “Grab some chocolate chips and then we can grab some snacks to take home.” Blitz gave her a decent allowance every week in case they wanted to do stuff like this.

Hadrian cheered happily and ran over to the chocolate chips, taking time to find just the right one. Loona took a picture of him concentrating, his little tongue poking out. Chuckling softly, she made a mental note to send it to Blitz later.

As she was scrolling through Sinstagram, Loona heard Hadrian squeak in surprise. Looking up, she spotted some weird ass lizard-looking sinner cornering her brother against the shelf. Not caring what the fuck he wanted, Loona marched over and punched the creep in the face. “Stay the fuck away from my brother!” The sinner went flying and slammed into the far wall with a bone breaking crash.

Loona then picked Hadrian up and was about to leave the isle when she noticed a horse shaped cookie cutter. “Hey, think dad would like horse shaped cookies?” Teary green eyes looked up at her and then the cutter with a nod. Seeing that she wasn’t going to be getting a verbal reply anytime soon, Loona grabbed the cutter and a few of their favorite snacks before leaving.

Once back home, Loona went right for the kitchen. “Ok, munchkin. Let’s wash our hands and grab our aprons!” She said as she tickled Hadrian’s sides, earning herself a squealing laugh. Loona would sooner die then let Blitz or anyone else see her acting like this but Hadrian was just too cute!

Pre-heating the oven to the right temp, Loona pulled on her skull covered apron and helped Hadrian with his paw print covered apron. For the next two hours they goofed off while making horse shaped cookies. By the end, both of them were covered in flour and raw cookie dough. “Ok, now it’s time to get cleaned up since the cookies are done.” Loona stated as she picked a giggling Hadrian up.

This was actually her first time giving the little boy a bath, as it was normally something Blitz did. She had her suspicions as to why but she wasn’t even remotely prepared for what she saw as he was undressed. Old burns and scars littered the child’s body, the word ‘FREAK’ was even carved into his back.

Biting back a growl, she quickly but gently washed the giggling six-year-old. Once he was squeaky clean, it was her turn but she didn’t want to leave the kid unattended with fresh baked cookies, so she made it quick. Thankfully, Hadrian was once more at the coffee table working on his drawling.

Seeing that it was almost six, Loona decided to throw the casserole Blitz prepped last night into the oven. “So munchkin, what are you drawling?” Hadrian looked at her and then at the paper, most likely weighing his options. Maybe it was a vision drawling?

“You promise not to tell daddy?” Loona smiled softly and crossed her heart, “I swear not to tell Blitz.” He seemed to believe her since he waved her over. Looking at the drawling, she could tell that it wasn’t done yet as only a few figures were actually finished. One was obviously her (middle left), the next was Blitz (middle right), and then there was Hadrian but he looked older (right in the middle). There were two shorter figures standing in front of Blitz with a taller figure to his right and a slightly shorter figure standing next to them.

On her left was a figure that seemed to match Blitz’s height. Behind Hadrian was a much taller figure that seemed to have another figure siting on their shoulder. There seemed to be two rough outlines of three other figures, two taller ones behind Hadrian and one on the other side of the two taller figures standing next to Blitz. There also seemed to be two figures up near the top of the page as well.

“It’z not done and it feels like I’m still missing people, but this will one day be our family! I see them some times in my dreams but they’re never very clear…” Loona looked at the picture in wonder, this would be their family one day? She wasn’t sure how to feel but some part of her was actually looking forward to this.

It was almost eight by the time Blitz was able to get home. Knowing that Hadrian would be asleep by now, he careful opened the door. All of the lights were off except for the kitchen light. Peeking in he saw a note on the fridge obviously written by Loona. ‘There’s food in the microwave for you, dumbass. Don’t touch the plastic container until you’ve eaten dinner’. Blitz chuckled and while he did want to know what the surprise was, he did as he was told.

Once he was done, he cleaned up and rushed over to the mystery container. Popping the lid open he found chocolate chip horse shaped cookies. Blitz teared up a bit and took a picture of them to post later. While last night and today may have sucked dick, he at least had the best fucking kids to come home to.

Chapter Text

Hadrian happily enjoyed his ice cream while daddy and Loo-Loo argued over the best flavor. Loo-Loo said vanilla while daddy said mint chocolate but Hadrian liked chocolate so far. They were all in the park enjoying the good weather just like the rest of the city seemed to be.

“Hey, daddy? Can we make chicken alfredo for dinner?” Blitz and Loona stopped arguing for a moment. “Sure! We should have everything we need!” Blitz said cheerfully. “We actually might want to pick up more butter. Last I saw we were running low.” Loona added on as she looked at her phone.

Blitz jumped up from the bench, dropping his ice cream in the process. “Fuck! Oh, well. Let’s head to the store now while all the perverts aren’t there!” Loona rolled her eyes but got up, followed by an excited Hadrian. They were all happily walking down the street when portals started opening up all over the sky.

Both Blitz and Loona cursed while the imp picked the confused six-year-old up and handed him over to Loona. “You are to run as fast as you can back to the apartment and no matter what, you do not look back!” The hellhound didn’t even argue, she simply tightened her grip on Hadrian and ran through the hoard of panicked demons.

Looking over Loona’s shoulder, Hadrian kept track of his daddy. He didn’t know what was happening but it really scared both of his favorite people. That’s when he saw them. White figures with wings and spears descended from the sky and started attacking any demon they came acrossed.

Screams of fear and panic filled the air even more and it scared Hadrian. But what scared him more was when one of the white figures landed right in front of his daddy. Loona must have somehow seen it too, because she turned around. “BLITZ!” He looked at both of them, “DO NOT STOP!”

Hadrian could feel how tense his sister was, but she did obey. The last time Hadrian saw his daddy, the white figure was stabbing him through the chest.

Blitz was startled awake by not only his door slamming open but by Hadrian’s blood curdling scream. Loona rushed through the door and landed on the bed just as he pulled the still screaming child into his arms. “Hady, ssshhh, you’re ok. Daddy’s got ya, baby boy.” Loona’s ears were pinned back and she was whimpering, not knowing what to do to help.

Hadrian jerked awake and instantly burst into tears once more upon seeing Blitz. “Hady, baby boy, what’s wrong?” The little boy just shook his head and mumbled into his daddy’s chest. Loona could apparently hear him because she looked horrified. “He said you died…”

Blitz pulled Loona closer and gently made Hadrian look at him. “Baby boy, what did you see?” So, Hadrian told them everything, from how they got ice cream, to the white figures coming from the sky. The more he spoke the more horrified the two looked. Blitz knew he’d have to tell Hadrian about Extermination Day soon but for Hadrian to actually have a vision about it and by the sound of it, an early one were the imp died, wasn’t how he wanted to do it. “Oh, Hady… what you saw were Exorcists coming down to exterminate sinners. It happens once a year, normally the day before New Years but on rare occasions it can happen earlier.” Blitz looked up at Loona, “Go grab your emergency bag, we’re going to Gluttony for a couple of days.” She nodded quickly and ran to go get her bag.

While she was doing that, Blitz grabbed his and Hadrian’s. It was bad enough that his kid saw it in a vision, there was no reason to force him to live though it in reality. “Baby boy, we’re going to another Ring for a little bit. How does that sound?” Teary green eyes looked up at him and Hadrian nodded slowly. “No bad people?” Blitz nodded, “No bad people.”

So, in the middle of the night, the family of three took the elevator down to Gluttony. Hadrian and Loona were curled up together in the back, sound asleep. As Blitz drove through the darkened streets of Gluttony, he made mental notes about what restaurants looked interesting so they could check them out come morning.

But right now he was going to find a good place to park for the night and look for an actually place to stay in the morning. He didn’t want to wake the kids up seeing as they were comfortable at the moment.

They all slept late into the day the following morning and what woke all of them up was an emergency broadcast on their phones for the Pride Ring, informing of an early extermination.

Chapter Text

After the early extermination only a few days into December and Hadrian having witnessed it first hand through a vision, he was understandably wary of having either Blitz or Loona out of his sight. However, with a little bit of time and reassurance that they weren’t going to leave him all alone, Blitz was able to go back to work and Loona was able to leaving the apartment without Hadrian bursting into tears. She didn’t stay out late, normally coming back around eight to help tuck Hadrian in.

But today was different, because it was March, which meant Loona’s birth month. The adoption center only had the estimated birth month in her adoption file, so with a bit of haggling from Blitz, Loona reluctantly allowed them to choose a date.

After a lot of thought, Hadrian mentioned Saint Patrick’s Day. Blitz instantly loved the idea as it meant Loona could party the day away without it feeling like a birthday party and then come home to a small family celebration. Loona didn’t give two fucks but did smile as the two gushed in excitement.

So now it was March seventeenth, Saint Patrick’s Day. Loona was currently bar hopping in Pentagram City where sinners celebrated the Earth Holiday, while Blitz and Hadrian were at the mall getting her presents. “Daddy, I don’t think Loo-Loo likes spiders.” Blitz was currently eyeing a case that was housing live spiders, a glint in his eye.

He, however, did concede defeat knowing that Hadrian was right. “I know, Hady.” Blitz said with a sigh, “How about we go to Stylish Occult then?” Hadrian nodded happily and pulled the imp along with him. While the store was busy, it didn’t worry Blitz as most of the other demons were teens that didn’t give two shits about anyone but themselves.

The father-son duo looked through the racks of clothing, trying to see if they could find anything that screamed Loona. Given her fur, she was rather picky about what she wore so they took that into account. It was towards the back of the shop that Hadrian found something. It was a black spaghetti strap dress with a bit of a wide skirt. The fabric was nice and airy and felt like some of the shirts his sister owned already.

It was really plan looking, given the store they were at but Hadrian felt that he could make it better. So, grabbing it from the rack, he ran back to his daddy who was looking at a chocker with spikes on it. “Daddy, I found a dress for Loo-Loo but it’s not done. Can we please go to the fabric store?”
Blitz looked down at his puppy-eyed son and squealed. “Of course we can! You know I love seeing you be creative! Let’s go checkout and head on over.” Hadrian beamed up at him and rushed back to the front, beating his daddy by only a few seconds.

By the time they got back home it was already one and they weren’t expect Loona home until closer to nine. Which gave them more than enough time to get the cake and everything ready. Hadrian hid away in the bedroom so that Blitz couldn’t see what he was doing. About a month ago, the imp ‘found’ a sewing machine that was as nice shade of dark blue that Blitz knew Hadrian would fucking love! He was originally going to give it to Hadrian for his birthday but then around the same time, there was an incident. The kids had gone to the store, like normal, but as they were cashing out, some random hellhound started hitting on Loona.

She was by no means interested and made that clear but the dick wasn’t taking the hint. Hadrian, not seeing what was going on, asked Loona if they could make dinner tonight to surprise Blitz. Before Loona could even answer, the bastard hellhound shoved Hadrian hard into a shelf. The six-year-old hit the shelf hard and cut his arm on the sharp edge.

Loona lost her shit and killed the hellhound on the spot before rushing home. Blitz didn’t have any jobs that day so received quite the shock when Loona rushed through the door with a bleeding and sobbing Hadrian. Thankfully, the kids magic healed the injury so they didn’t need to go to the hospital but that didn’t change the fact that Hadrian was bloody and upset.

So, once he was cleaned up and calmed down, Blitz pulled the sewing machine out from where he had been hiding it. Loona looked amused but Hadrian was over the moon. Ever since, he’s been making or fixing anything he can. Blitz had a large array of horse stuffed animals in a variety of sizes and styles. Loona had a whole nest made of blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals that were mainly wolves with other dangerous animals thrown in.

But back to the point, Hadrian was fixing up the dress and Blitz knew that it was going to be stunning.

By the time Loona got home, she was buzzing with good energy and couldn’t wipe the smile off her face. Walking into the apartment, it only got better as she smelled the fresh baked cake and could hear Hadrian using his sewing machine. “Loony! Welcome home! Foods done if you’re hungry and your bothers almost done with your gift!”

Feeling pretty great, she let her dad hug her without protest. “Yeah, that sounds nice.” Her dad looked at her with a big stupid smile on his face but didn’t make a fuss. While the two were happily eating, Hadrian charged from the room and rushed up to Loona with a box in hand. “Loo-Loo! Here’s your gift, so you need to open it right now!” He then proceeded to jump up and down with excitement. Loona decided to humor him and opened the box.

Inside was a gorgeous black dress with a black elegant pentagram lace overlay on the bust that connected to a solid black chocker. It had a corset bodice and the skirt had a lair of sheer fabric that had a soft shimmer to it. “Hady, I fucking love it! It’s fucking perfect and there’s matching fingerless elbow gloves too! Fuck yeah!”

She picked Hadrian up and spun him around the room. Blitz took pictures of the two giggling like mad and he couldn’t have been happier!

Chapter Text

The next four years passed by with much the same feeling for the happy family of three. Loona was now twenty-one and Hadrian had turned eleven. With both of his kid’s encouragements Blitz actually opened his own assassination business.

Loona helped with picking out the office to start from and Hadrian rather excitedly helped with picking employees. Which lead to the two drawings on the fridge, one depicting a black haired, female imp named Millie. She had seen one of Hadrian’s fliers a week after he had his vision of her. She was a charming imp that Hadrian simply adored and the feeling was mutual.

The next was of a white haired, male imp named Moxxie. His arrival into their growing family was rather interesting because Hadrian said that Blitz needed to get arrested on a specific day at a specific time. Blitz being the chaos magnet he was, didn’t argue. Once the imp was out he brought a shell shocked Moxxie with him.

Hadrian was also very fond of the smaller imp as well but not as much as Millie it seemed. Seeing as they opened I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals) at the beginning of the year, it was no surprise that Moxxie and Millie started dating and got married in July. It was a small affair with just the I.M.P. crew there seeing as Millie’s family couldn’t come in person and Moxxie refused to even mention his.

So, now in the final week of August, an eleven-year-old Hadrian was sick and being fussed over by the married couple as Blitz made soup in the kitchen. “Hady honey, ya need to take your medicine so ya can feel better.” Millie cooed softly to the sniffling little boy. “Millie’s right, Hadrian. You really do need to take it. Boss is making you some soup, so you can have that to wash the taste from your mouth.” Hadrian glared at the white haired imp but did do as asked. He made a face at the taste. “Still yucky.” The couples laughing was interrupted by the arrival of Blitz. “Hope you two fuck stains are done tormenting my kid!” Making his way to the bed, the taller imp gently sat a tray down on the bed. “Ok baby boy, your sister should be back with some vaporub soon so you can breathe better but for now, try eating some soup.”

Hadrian nodded happily, loving it when his daddy cooked. While the elven-year-old was eating, the three imps started talking. “So B, what was it you wanted to talk about today?” The taller imp blinked stupidly for a moment, then remembered he had wanted to have a staff meeting today to discuss an expansion. “Yeah, Loona already knows so we don’t need to wait for her. While business is good so far, I’ve been thinking about offering sinners the chance to get revenge before their targets get to hell.”

Blitz let that sink in for a minute, enjoying the look of shock on their faces. “Um… sir, how do you plan to do that?” “Well, should this work out, I plan to ask an…” He looked briefly at Hadrian and smiled softly with a sigh. “Old friend if he’d be interested in helping out until Hadrian’s older and has better control of his magic. Yes Moxxie, Hady wants to help out and was the one to make the suggestion.”

The white haired imp snapped his mouth shut. “B, what if this friend doesn’t agree?” Blitz nodded, “Then I’ll find some other way. Getting access to Earth is hard but not impossible.”

While the three imps were talking, Loona arrived home and walked into the room. “Hey munchkin, I got the good stuff so you can take a nap without coughing up a lung.” Hadrian tried to laugh but ended up coughing and Loona offered him some water. “Yeah, let’s get that stuff on you now.”
Hadrian grumbled but didn’t fight her as she unbuttoned his pajamas. Loona then opened the jar and dipped her fingers in. Had this been anyone else, she wouldn’t be doing this but this was her baby brother.

With his breathing now eased, Hadrian drifted off rather quickly. Not wanting to disturb him, they all moved to the living room. There, they talked for about another hour or two before the couple left. At about six, Blitz heard a noise in the bedroom and went to check on Hadrian. Upon opening the door, he was horrified to see a summoning seal on the floor. Before he could grab Hadrian the summoning seal activated and the little boy was gone.

Chapter Text

Blitz didn’t remember screaming or Loona running into the room, all he could see before him was an empty bed where his eleven-year-old son should be. “Dad, where’s Hadrian?!” Looking into his daughters eyes, Blitz felt numb. “Those bastards summoned him back. After four years, they had the nerve to summon him back.” The more he said it aloud, the angrier it made him. Blitz wasn’t stupid, though he could play the part well. When he got Hadrian settled he did a lot of snooping. He subtly tracked down former magic users in Pentagram City. From the ones he didn’t beat the shit out of, Blitz learned about their war and why so many of them were in hell.

It didn’t take long for him to put two and two together. While Blitz didn’t want to believe it, he knew deep down that there was a chance that Hadrian had somehow gotten himself to the future at only six-years-old. There were too many similarities between his son and this ‘Harry Potter’ kid that he’d heard many of the sinners talking about.

Blitz knew that there was no getting his eleven-year-old son back but he might have a chance to get his sixteen-year-old son back. From the way the newer sinners were talking, the imp didn’t have a large time window before Magical Britian went into lock down because of the war started by old men.

This was why he was currently climbing the walls of a certain Ars Goetia’s palace. Moxxie had argued against doing so but Blitz was a dramatic bitch and would do dramatic bitch things! Plus, when he adopted Hadrian, the imp had toyed with the thought of contacting Stolas about possibly teaching the kid, so had looked into the owl-demon’s life. What he found was concerning and had made him hesitate. He wasn’t afraid of Stolas but was concerned for him. Rumor after rumor mentioned how vile his wife, Stella, was and they only got worse. Blitz could honestly say the only good thing from their marriage was Octavia, Stola’s daughter.

So, while Blitz wanted to try and reconnect with his once childhood friend, he needed to protect his kid. He was hoping that Stolas would understand, especially now.

Getting into the palace was laughably easy and Blitz was so going to get on Stolas’ case should this go right. He’d picked the day of the ‘Not Divorced’ Anniversary Party for a reason, as the imp knew he was less likely to get caught by anyone. Blitz did, however, peek through one of the ball room windows hoping to catch Stolas’ attention. He wasn’t sure if the owl-demon saw him but the imp definitely spotted the owl.

Blitz shook his head not wanting to touch on that particular feeling right now. Once Hadrian was home, then he could have a gay panic that both of his kids could laugh at.

But back to the matter at hand, Blitz was now successfully in Stolas’ room and looking through his wide collection of books. Hadrian was the main reason he took up reading. The child enjoyed reading aloud and would encourage the imp to do the same. While Blitz didn’t read all the time, he would occasionally find something that interested him.

Seeing as he had some time to kill, he looked through the books and found something about magic theory. While he knew he wouldn’t understand most of it, he still wanted to try and understand his kid.

He wasn’t sure how long he had been reading but was surprised by how much he understood. Blitz would probably have finished the book if it wasn’t for an out of breath Stolas slamming the door open. Looking up, the imp was met with a wide eyed owl staring at him; guess the demon saw him after all.

“Blitzo?” The imp cringed slightly, “The O is silent now, Stolas but long time no see?” He added with a nervous chuckle and standing up. The two stared at each other awkwardly until Blitz put the book back and straightened up. “I know this is gonna be a dick move, seeing as we haven’t seen each other in years but I need a favor.”

Stolas wilted slightly but before he could speak, Blitz carried on. “I know I can trust ya to keep this to yourself but what I’m about ta tell ya can’t leave this room. Please.” The owl looked at him with concern but did nod. Blitz took a deep breath trying to keep calm but seemed to be failing if the look Stolas was giving him meant anything. “Blitz, are you alright?”

“No, to be honest I haven’t been alright for the last month and a half. Can we just sit down?” The owl nodded and gently guided the imp to the couch by the windows. Blitz took a deep breath again, “Ok. About four years ago, I adopted a little boy. Cutest little shit you’ll ever meet, he was the reason I considered contacting ya.” Stolas looked shocked but didn’t interrupt. “I could instantly tell that Hadrian was human and a magic user on top of that. Told me he made a birthday wish for a new daddy or mommy that would love him.” Blitz chuckled wetly but managed to hold it together.

“When I heard the rumors surrounding your ‘wife’, I made the hard decision to hold off on reaching out to you until he was older. Hope you can forgive me for that.” Stolas cooed softly and gently took Blitz’s hand. “I don’t blame you, my dear. You were protecting your child and I respect that.” Some of the tension the imp was holding faded slightly. “Thanks. Hady said you would understand but that little shit has visions, so I guess I should have believed him.” He chuckled softly, “When I knew that Hadrian had magic, I did some snoopin around amongst the sinners that used to have magic. I came to the conclusion that Hadrian was from the past; it’s not somethin I took well. A month and a half ago, my eleven-year-old son was summoned back to Earth and I have no way of getting him back but I have a small window of time to get my now sixteen-year-old son out of a war that he never should have had to face. Stolas, the reason I’m here is because I need to borrow your Grimoire so my team and I can get to Earth. We’d use the cover of offering to off targets on Earth but we’d also be trying to track Hadrian down and bring him home.”

Stolas stayed silent for a time and Blitz couldn’t bring himself to look at the other demon. He was too busy running through all of his other options, seeing as he honestly believed that Stolas was going to refuse. After what felt like an eternity, Stolas gently made Blitz look at him.

They stared at each other for a moment before Stolas smiled softly. “Blitz, as one father to another, I will gladly help you find your son. My I give you a hug?” Normally, the imp would have made some stupid comment or told him to fuck off but after talking about Hadrian, he could really use one. “Please…”

For the next hour, that was what the two did, simply hug. Stolas ignored the wet feeling growing on his shirt, more than content to let Blitz seek the comfort he needed. By the time the imp had calmed down, it was late into the night. “Why don’t you stay the night? We can gush over our children and share pictures they would say are embarrassing.” Blitz out right laughed at this and didn’t see the harm in it. “Sure, let me text my daughter, Loona, that I’m alive and won’t be home tonight. Then, I’ll tell you how I came to adopt another kid only two months after adopting the first one.”

They talked long into the night about their children, lives, and anything else they could think of. By the time morning rolled around, the two demons were curled together on the bed sound asleep. That was until Blitz’s phone started ringing. The imp dived for it and ended up falling on the floor. “What!?”

“Obviously, you didn’t check the caller ID. How did everything go? M&M have been blowing up my phone since early this morning.” Blitz blinked slowly as his mind tried to wake up. Stolas was looking down at him with a mixture of concern and amusement. “Sorry, Loony. I’ll be back in about an hour and if they call again, just tell them I’ll talk to them once I’m back.”

“Fine but you better not come home smelling like bird ass.” She hung up before Blitz could even get a word out. The imp knew he was blushing and given the startled squawk, so was Stolas. “I should probably get going. We could talk later and get the details sorted out?”

They both refused to look at each other, too embarrassed. Stolas cleared his throat and held out the book to Blitz. “Yes, that sounds perfect.” The owl then gathered his nerves and looked at the imp. “Would you like me to open a portal for you?”

Before Blitz could answer, they both heard laughter from the garden below. Peeking over the balcony, the two demons spotted Stella and two of her friends having tea with cake. Blitz then got an evil grin on his face. “How badly do you want a reason to divorce her?” Stolas didn’t understand at first but once he caught on, his eyes lit up. “What did you have in mind?”

“Well, my daughter gave us quite the option. It just comes down to whether you could put up with her screeching and tantrums.” Blitz watched as Stolas thought it over but there was an obvious issue he was having. “Ya do know that you can tell Octavia the truth right? From what I’ve heard, you pretty much raised her as a single parent, so I think she would no doubt understand if ya sat down and talked to her.”

Stolas sighed, “Yes, I suppose you’re right. It would just be so much easier if my sister were here. Stella is quite intimidated by her but she was given a special assignment by Death himself some odd years ago. She won’t be back until late next year if I recall correctly.”

Blitz perked up at this. “I thought you weren’t close with any of your siblings?” Stolas chuckled softly, “I’m not but Hedy is my twin, though we’re not identical. I heard it gave my father quite the surprise, though Hedy has never liked him. Did not like my arranged marriage to Stella either. My father once tried to arrange a marriage for her as well but her would be suitor disappeared. Everyone knows it was my sister’s doing but they do not have any proof.”

Both demons were trying not to laugh as they didn’t want to let Stella know they were watching her. “Well, I guess I’m about to become one of her favorite imps for what is about to happen.” Blitz then stripped down to nothing but his jacket. He got a good hold on the book and fell off the balcony. Stolas rushed to look over just in time to see Blitz land on the cake, showering the three demons at the table.

“Sorry, I fucked your husband!” Blitz then jumped off the table and rushed out of view. Seeing as he was still looking over the balcony, Stella saw Stolas and started screaming. “STOLAS, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?” Grinning widely, he grabbed the edge of the anniversary banner still decorating the railing and ripped it off. “THAT WAS THE SOUND OF A FUCKING DIVORCE!”

Stolas continued to laugh as he walked back into his room with Blitz’s clothes in his arms. He then opened a portal and saw a naked grinning Blitz on the other side. “So, what happened after I ran?” Stolas tried to stop laughing but he wasn’t very successful at first. After a few minutes, he was finally able to speak. “Well, she is certainly pissed and your little display was quite the show as well, I must say.” He chuckled once more as he handed Blitz his clothes.

“Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it!” The imp added with a bow once he was dressed. “I need to get out of here, I did promise Loona I’d be back soon. Talk to ya later?” Stolas nodded happily, “Yes, we shall speak later.”

Chapter Text

The next time Blitz and Stolas talked, it was during one of the imps first Earth missions. Moxxie hadn’t shot the target, wimping out and missing thus leading them to run from the crazy cannibal family. Stolas later apologized for his poor timing but Blitz told him it wasn’t his fault. After that, they set up a schedule where Blitz would bring the book back on the full moon and they could just talk and try to figure out how to find Hadrian.

Stolas had tried to use a tracking spell plus a number of other methods to find Hadrian but none had worked. Blitz didn’t blame the owl but did appreciate the attempt anyway.

It had been months since then and I.M.P. had gained quite a few clients after their first successful mission. However, they were running out of time. More ex-magic sinners were coming in by droves and what they were saying wasn’t good. I.M.P. most likely only had weeks at best to find Hadrian and get him out.

That was what Blitz was doing right now. They didn’t have any jobs today so he was in his office looking over everything he had gathered so far about the layout of Magical Britian. He had tried looking everywhere he could, but it was Hogwarts that was giving him the most trouble. Blitz knew that it was most likely where Hadrian was but the imp had no way of getting there. It was hidden behind multiple spells that would most likely make it impossible for him to get in, seeing as he wanted to kill the bastards that took his kid.

Sighing heavily and lost in his thoughts, Blitz was almost relived when he saw Stolas’ ID pop up on his phone. “Hey, Stolas. You have fuckin great timing, I was just about to bang my head on my desk.” He heard Stolas hum softly over the phone. “Well, I have a favor to ask of you, so I imagine it will help distract you more.”

Blitz chuckled, “Sure, why not.” Stolas laughed happily and proceeded to explain. “Well, with Stella yelling and throwing things about, I have decided to take Octavia to Loo-Loo Land. I hope to speak to her about the divorce and explain what happened. I would like for you to act as our bodyguards.”

The imp winced upon hearing the name. Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Blitz weighed his options. “Ok, Stolas. It wouldn’t hurt to get out of the Pride Ring for a few hours so that I can clear my head. Plus, it’d be nice to meet Octavia in person. Maybe once Hadrian’s home they could become friends.”

Stolas chuckled softly, “Then we shall meet you outside of the office, yes?” Blitz confirmed before hanging up. “M&M get in here, we’re going to Loo-Loo Land!” Moxxie slowly opened the door while Millie crashed through the doors window. “Loo-Loo Land, Sir?” “LOO-LOO LAND!” “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Blitz winced, knowing how much Loona hated the amusement park’s name, seeing as Hadrian called her ‘Loo-Loo’.

“Yeah, Stolas asked us to bodyguard him and his daughter. They’ll meet us out front so grab your shit and get outside!” Millie rushed off in excitement, dragging Moxxie with her. Blitz walked over to Loona, who was scrolling through her phone. “I know your answer already but do ya wanna come with us?” She looked up at him briefly before looking back at her phone. “No… but thanks for asking anyway… dad.”

Blitz nodded, “Do you want me to bring you back anything? Doesn’t have to be from the park.” Loona got a thoughtful look on her face and pulled a flier from one of the desk drawers. “There’s a coffee shop that just opened and they’re advertising a new drink I’ve been wanting to try.” Blitz took the flier and managed to kiss Loona’s forehead before she could escape. “Blitz!” She growled out as she swiped at him. He bounced out of the way with a laugh. “Seeya later, Loony Toony!” He heard her throw something at the door once he closed it.

Upon exiting the building, Blitz was met by an interesting sight. Moxxie was trying to act all proper, Millie was bouncing on her hooves, Octavia was pulling her hat over her eyes, and Stolas was wearing red shorts, a white tee-shirt, and had one of those stupid knock-off Loo-Loo Land apple hats.

Blitz tried not to laugh but by the look Stolas was giving him, he was failing. “Ok, into the van, bitches!” Thankfully, getting to the park wasn’t awkward nor hard but Blitz knew that wouldn’t last once they got to the park.

And he was right.

Upon entering the park, Millie tugged Moxxie around in excitement, leaving Blitz to watch over the two owls for the time being. “Ok, Stolas. Remember that this trip is for you to talk to Octavia and not to get into a flirting war with me.” Yes, that was something they actually did. It never got too sexual, mainly consisting of bad dad jokes and seeing who could make the other blush more.

The owl leaned down and bopped Blitz on the nose. “You are so cute when you are serious, however, you are right. I will try and behave myself.” Blitz snorted but let him be. Off to the side, Octavia was watching them, “I’m literally going to be sick.”

Moxxie hearing this went into mother hen mode and started pulling things out of his fanny pack. “Oh, crumbs! I knew today would be a lot. What do you need? Antioxidants, Ibuprofen, Morphine?” The younger owl rolled her eyes, “It was figurative, Old Man.” She then walked away, only to run into the Loo-Loo Land mascot. A red apple that was missing a tooth and looked like it had been vomited on. “Well, hey there, I’m Loo-Loo! Welcome to Loo-Loo Land! If y’all get hurt here, just try and sue us!”

“Look, Via! It’s Loo-Loo!” Octavia rolled her eyes before getting a sly smile on her face, something Blitz noticed. “I have a question.” The creepy ass mascot turned to look at her, “Well ask away, little girlie!”

“Is it true this park is just a really shameless spin-off of Lucifer’s far more popular Lu-Lu World?” “No?” Octaivia glared, “This place reeks of insecure corporate shame.” Stolas chuckled nervously but Blitz was laughing his ass off. “Damn, kid! That was beautiful!”

The imp looked over at the other two, “I’ll take the first watch, you two go have fun!” Millie didn’t need to be told twice, while Moxxie looked betrayed. Blitz chuckled before following the two royals around the park. Stolas still hadn’t said anything to Octavia but Blitz didn’t blame him, it was a kind of awkward thing to talk about. “You know, it’s quite thrilling to see you on the job, Blitzy.” Feeling Stolas run his fingers over his horns, Blitz shot him an annoyed look. “Don’t even try it. You’re stalling and you and I both know it.” The owl at least had the decency to look sheepish.

Octavia huffed, “you both need to get a room.” Blitz looked offended, “Hey! I am not a day hooker! Plus, I’m being well behaved thank you very much!” He stuck his tongue out for good measure. Stolas, seeing where this was going decided to distract them by pointing out the Robotic Fizzarolli show.
Both imp and younger owl sighed in annoyance. “I hate that fucking clown.” They both said together. “Um… Blitzy? I could use my bodyguard.” Without even looking, Blitz shot one of the attempted kidnapping imps. With one shot the rest scattered. Blitz carried the owl into the tent, following the younger owl. He then dropped him on a bench and got as far from the stage and clown as he could.

The robot started singing the stupid fucking Loo-Loo Land song and by the end, Blitz wanted to shot himself. Thankfully, some stupid imp once more tried to kidnap Stolas, so Blitz shot the imp in the head. Stolas, being the fucking moron he was, commented on it once more by flirting. This upset Octavia and she ran off with Stolas following after her.

Blitz was going to follow them but the fucking clown saw him first. “Oh, ho, ho! Is that BlitzO my sensors spot up there? I guess the kitties are still running away from you!” The imp stopped against his better judgement. “The O is silent now.”

“Just like your audience always was when you told your lazy jokes here!” Blitz sneered, “Bitch, I make more money killing people than you do being a cheap-ass robo-rip-off of an overrated sell-out jester!” The robo-Fizzarolli laughed, “Some ones salty! Real or not though, people love me! Does anybody love you, BlitzO?”

A mental image of his kids plus staff ran through his mind and he smiled sharply. “Yeah, four people to be exact. But on another note, I’m really good with guns now. Dance bitch!” Blitz then fired at the robot and all hell broke loose from there.

Stolas followed Octavia into the haunted house, where he was once more attack and Millie shot the imp off of him. He might have said something to them but he had already put this talk off all day. Walking through the house, he found Octavia sitting in one of the rides. “I have something to confess to you, my Starfire. The reason I brought you here was so that we could talk and I could explain what had happened.”

Octavia didn’t look at him but didn’t argue either, so he took it as a good sign. “I didn’t sleep with Blitz, not in the way your mother thinks. That night he came to me for help in finding his son. It is not my story to tell, though I am sure Blitz would be willing to tell you should you ask. That night, we talked about our children and fell asleep.” He took a deep breath and looked his daughter in the eye. “Octavia, I have never loved your mother just as she has never loved me. The only good thing to come from this sham of a marriage is you. That morning before Blitz left, he asked me how badly I wanted a reason to divorce. That is how the event happened. I should have told you sooner but with your mother storming through the palace, I could not find a quiet moment. I truly wish Hedy was here, she would explain it so much better. You two always had such an amazing bond.”

He sighed, giving Octavia time to think about everything. “So, does that mean you’re not running off with him then?” Stolas quickly looked up and pulled his daughter into a tight hug. “Satan no, my Owlette! Blitz would sooner eat glass then run off without his children and he would never allow me to run off without you! Honestly, he thinks you would be a good friend for his son, Hadrian, once the child is finally brought home.”

Octavia looked at him in question but thankfully didn’t ask. “I suppose we should leave, as you are far too old for this place. Moxxie mentioned something about Blitz and fire, so I do not imagine that there will be much of a park for long.” The younger owl laughed and he couldn’t help but do the same.

Later in the night, amongst the ruined ashes of Loo-Loo Land. A robed figure walked through the parks remains until they came acrossed a badly glitching robo-Fizzarolli. The robot was badly damaged and looked like it was going to go off line soon. “Well, I know a certain some one that is just going to love you!”

The figure picked the robot up and chucked it into a pocket dimension. “While I couldn’t fight Fate on her stupid war, I can at least try and make-up for all the bullshit she put him through.” The black figure started whistling happily to themselves as they vanished into the night.

Chapter Text

It had been a few weeks since the Loo-Loo Land incident and in those few weeks, Magical Britain had shut down, ending all chances of finding Hadrian. Neither Blitz nor Loona took it well and didn’t come into the office for a few days, which M&M understood. But now was their first day back in almost a week and both father and daughter were pumped to cause bloodshed.

“Remember that the Spring Break fliers were posted yesterday so we’ll probably have a flood of sinners wanting bitches dead! So, Loona checks them in, M&M grabs the names of the targets, and I’ll get the payments!” He then turned up the music to drowned out Moxxie’s potential whining.

Just as he was about to pull into their parking space, a familiar shitty pink convertible parked there first. Blitz launched himself over Loona to stare at the pink haired succubus. “Verosika?! I should have known you’d be here! I could smell fish for miles, which is odd because I believe the nearest ocean is…” He fell from the window and quickly recovered, “Three Rings down!”

The pink bitch sneered at him. “And I should have known you’d be here when I heard the Amber Alerts.” Blitz could hear Loona starting to growl, seeing as the bitches comment was an obvious dig at the imp adopting Hadrian. “Oh, yeah? I’m surprised they let your fat ass out of rehab. I can see that you’re still a drunken whore, clutching onto that Beelzejuice bottle like it’s the last cock in hell.”

Verosika chuckled, “They let me out because I’m still famous and rehab is for sad loser wash-ups. So, your sister says hi.” Blitz tried not to growl but the bitch was pushing his buttons. “Well, move your pink tampon race car as that’s our parking space!” The bitch laughed, “I’m doing a bit of freelance for one of the infinitely more successful companies in the building. They had me come in this week to lead their team during Spring Break.” Blitz went wide eyed at the thought of dealing with the pink whore for an entire week. “NO FUCKING WAY!” She sneered at him, “Aw, you mad BlitzO? Going to run off and max out my credit card on stupid bullshit?!” Blitz smiled nastily at her, remembering why her card was maxed out in the first place. “Well, seeing as you were only going to use it for booze and drugs, I thought I’d use it to buy my kids’ shit! Not my fault you didn’t notice it was gone until it was maxed out and you got the bill!”

She growled at him, “Choke on a sandpaper cock.” As she walked passed the van, Loona growled at her but then caught sight of the hellhound with her. After Hadrian was kidnaped, Loona stopped going out as much and normally stayed at home with Blitz. So, meeting another hellhound and a hot one at that, made her feel a little awkward.

Vortex, as Verosika introduced him as, was working as the whore’s bodyguard. The two walked off, leaving Blitz pissed and Loona rather confused on what feeling should be more important at the moment. Millie, not realizing the tension, stuck her head out of the window. “How do you know Verosika Mayday?” Loona growled at the bitches name and Blitz groaned. “We dated but I dumped her ass when I adopted Hadrian. Bitch wasn’t too keen on having a little kid around and I was tired of her selfish bullshit.”

Millie seemed to pick up on what was left unsaid but couldn’t help being curious. “Was it before or after she became a popstar?” Moxxie slammed the van door open, apparently missing what Blitz had said. “You dated a popstar?!” The taller imp huffed and crossed his arms. “Ninety-nine percent the worst choice I’ve ever made, the remaining one percent was because our fighting lead me to find Hadrian. Can we please drop this and go inside? I’m sure we already have clients waiting. Millie, find a place to park the van!”

Loona chuckled, “That’s because I didn’t let your dyslexic ass touch the fliers Hady made.” This joke seemed to ease some of the tension Blitz had. “Let’s just get through the week and the stupid bitch won’t be our problem anymore.”

For the next two hours, I.M.P. was flooded with sinners wanting someone dead. With the three imps still not having human disguises, Loona was going to came with them and lore the targets in so that no mistakes were made. If the added bonus was that the father-daughter duo could release some pent up rage, then no one was complaining.

They were about half way through the list when Verosika and her whores showed up on the same beach. This only fueled the duo more. “Blitz, one of the targets is at the bitches concert. I’ll go get him and be right back.” He gave her a thumbs up, “I let Moxxie and Millie go after some of the targets in town so no rush, Loony!”

As Loona made her way through the horny crowd, Blitz went back to kill some of the targets still close to the dock they’d been hiding under. As this was happening, a giant mutant fish rose from the waters, killing some people as it walked onto the beach. Blitz saw it try and swallow Moxxie, only for Millie to come to his rescue.

Seeing no reason not to enjoy the show, Blitz let Millie do her thing. When she tossed Moxxie from its mouth, Blitz caught the clearly drunk imp. “I love that woman!” The taller imp chuckled evilly, “Oh, she totally pegs you, doesn’t she?”

Seeing Millie kill the fish from the inside was fucking beautiful. “OH, YEAH! Way to show off Mil’s!” Shaking the water from her hair, Millie looked towards her husband. “Is Mox ok?” Blitz looked down at the very much drunk imp in his arms. “Other than a wicked hang over later? He’s fine but if he says or does stupid shit, I want copies!” Millie chuckled but did agree.

With their list complete at this point they just needed to wait for Loona to rejoin them. “BlitzO…” The imp groaned, not wanting to deal with the whore squad. “Oh perfect that must be the whores.” Verosika glared at them. “That was handled rather obviously, don’t you think?”

Millie snorted at her and held up the bitches flask. “I don’t think this belonged to any of us.” She then tossed it to her, “Would be a shame if anyone found out you guys were behind a giant monster fish in the Human World.” Blitz looked proud and Moxxie started laughing.

Verosika glared at them all, “Yeah, well, you three nasty ass gremlins will be in deep shit for not being in disguises!” Moxxie put his hand in the air and fell from Blitz’ arms. He face planted in the sand before looking up at the group of whores. “A human called me a possum! I am not a possum!” Blitz got a smug look on his face as he pulled Moxxie up and handed him to Millie. “You know, we could keep this little B movie scene on the down low if you agree to let us use that parking space.”

The whore looked like she would rather chew glass but angrily agreed. “Fine.” The three imps cheered as Loona joined them once more. “What the fuck did I miss?” Blitz smiled brightly at her and gave her a quick hug. “We got the parking space and wiped that smug ass look off the bitches face! What did you do?”

Loona growled at the imp before rubbing the back of her neck. “I talked with Vortex for a bit.” Blitz went through multiple dad faces before settling on happy. “Well, I’m glad you’re making friends! I’m sure your brother will be pleased to meet them!” The hellhound smiled softly before pushing the imp into the portal.

Chapter Text

YEAR ONE;

Hadrian didn’t like it here! It wasn’t home and he missed his family! The weird old man kept saying that his family was in Surrey but that wasn’t true! When the little boy kept calling them liars, the old man did something funny to his head. Now, whenever he tried to remember or even talk about his family, different names and faces came out.

He tried to remember his daddy’s face or his sister’s voice but there was nothing!

It upset Hadrian to no end! It was even worse when they kept saying his name was Harry Potter but it wasn’t! He was Hadrian… he was Hadrian…
Laying in his bed in Gryffindor Tower, a broken hearted eleven-year-old sobbed. He was the only one there at the moment, other than Hedwig, the only good thing to come from this. She reminded him of home and sometimes had the same feeling. He had tried to see if she could take letters home but she always looked at him sadly and groomed his hair.

“Hedwig, I want to go home…” The snowy owl gained a determined look in her eye and flew off. She was back soon enough with a paper in her beak. Looking up, the little boy took it from her and his eyes grew wide with hope. “Come on Hedwig, we need to go somewhere quiet!” Once the owl was securely on his shoulder, the little boy took off down the stairs and out the portrait door.

It had been a month since the little boy was imprisoned within the castle, so he had a lot of time to explore for ways to get out. While doing so, he found a hidden chamber in an old abandoned girls room. Ms. Myrtle was nice enough to promise not to tell anyone about his hiding spot. As he entered the bathroom, Hadrian gave Ms. Myrtle a quick hello before hissing at the sink and sliding down. Hedwig soared down after him as the sink closed once more.

The nice House Elves cleaned up the chamber when Hadrian had asked them. They didn’t agree with the teachers kidnapping a little boy and tended to dote on Hadrian when the little boy needed it. So, cleaning up the Chamber of Secrets was no big ask for them.

Upon entering the main chamber Hadrian rushed over to the sleeping serpent that called the place home. “Kora, Hedwig found a summoning ritual! I might not be able to get home with it but maybe I can summon my daddy or sister!” The giant serpent raised her head and looked down at the excited child. When she was first woken up, she hadn’t expected to see an incredibly adorable and sad child. There was something that spoke to her about him and she was instantly smitten with him. If that meant she had to share him with a demon in disguise, then so be it.

“That sounds lovely, Hatchling! Though, on the chance it is not your father nor sister, I will gladly protect you.” Hadrian squealed happily and proceeded to draw the summoning circle while the basilisk and owl watched. After a couple of minutes there was a perfectly drawn circle with elegantly written runes.

“Ok, I’m going to start now!” Both creatures nodded and watched as their little boy started to chant. Now, while Hedwig’s full powers may be sealed away for the moment, that didn’t mean she was just going to let her chick summon some random ass demon.

Following the summoning magic to hell, she guided it to a specific sinner that she knew wouldn’t hurt her chick. As the magic built up, the circle activated and a rather surprised arachnid appeared. “What the fuck!?” Hadrian opened his eyes and saw a tall pink spider looking around in shock.

Angel Dust had just been minding his own business when a summoning circle lit up under his feet. It wasn’t the first time he had seen one but it was the first time he was the one being summoned. Of all the things he had expected to see, it wasn’t a giant ass snake with an owl on its head and a kid sitting on the floor in front of the two.

“Well… this is new. I’m gonna assume you were the one that summoned me?” The kid was just staring at him in shock as the giant ass snake hissed at him. Before Angel could even think to pull his gun, the kid started hissing back!

“Hatchling, I find this one to be… strange and smells of mating. May I eat him?” Hadrian blinked slowly, not taking his eyes off the nervous spider. “No, Kora… wait does mating mean sex?” The basilisk nodded, seeing no reason to lie. Hadrian tilted his head cutely and observed the arachnid, as it would appear that he was doing the same.

Gazing at the spider, Hadrian could feel this soothing aura that was hidden deep within all the dark ick. “Do you need a hug? When daddy feels icky on the inside he says my hugs make him feel better. OH! I’m Hadrian, that’s Kora, and on her head is Hedwig!” Hadrian pointed them out as he said their names. The spider looked at all of them and chuckled nervously. “Um, the name’s Angel Dust, kid.”

The spider, Angel Dust, still seemed to be processing the question. “Um, they’re not going to attack me, are they?” Hadrian looked up at the two creatures before shaking his head. “No, not unless you hurt me. But you haven’t answered my question.” Angel blinked a bit, as if finally registering the question.

When was the last time Angel had gotten a hug without strings attached? When he didn’t want to rub his skin raw just to get the feeling of Val’s fingers off of him? Looking at the kid in front of him, that had such a sad look deep within his eyes. Maybe he wasn’t the only one who needed a hug?

“Sure, kid. I think I’d like that.” Hadrian jumped up and hesitantly walked towards the spider. Angel smiled softly, he always had a soft spot for kids and gently picked the child up. He used all six arms to give this hurting kid the best hug he’d ever have.

They stayed like that for a few hours, Angel even moved to lean against a rather content Kora. At some point, Hedwig landed on the spiders head and started grooming his hair. Angel could honestly say that he had never felt so peaceful.

For the rest of the year, when Hadrian had the time to slip away, he’d go down to the chamber and summon Angel. They always hugged first before talking and it was a ritual that meant a great deal to them both. Around the end of the year, Angel managed to bring a second hellphone with him so that he and Hadrian could talk over the summer or when Hadrian couldn’t slip away to summon him.

The little boy had been so thrilled at the time and had tried to call his family, only for him to be unable to remember their numbers. Angel held him in a tight hug and reassured him that it would be ok.

On another note, one of the Professors, Quirrell the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, was found dead in his office at the end of the school year. Only the elves, Kora, and Hedwig knew what happened and the elves certainly wouldn’t say anything.

And when Hadrian was shipped off to the Dursley’s, Hedwig put the fear of Lucifer into them. They tried treating Hadrian the way they had used to but Hedwig was having none of it. By the end of the first week, the Dursley’s were terrified of the owl, not that Hadrian knew this. He was too busy talking to Angel when the spider was free.

YEAR TWO;

Hadrian didn’t like being back at the castle, even if the elves and Kora were there. The new Defense Professor was weird and kept singling him out. Something about them both having fame, which Hadrian didn’t even want. The Weasley twins had taken to pranking the man, as they saw how uncomfortable he was making the twelve-year-old.

Hedwig seemed to approve, so Hadrian didn’t mind, though there was this annoying first year that kept taking his picture. Hadrian had tried asking him to stop but with no such luck. About a week after that, someone enchanted his camera to shock the kid whenever he tried to take Hadrian’s picture. The first year quickly stopped after that.

Things stayed that way until October, when students and the caretakers cat were being petrified. Mr. Filch didn’t blame Hadrian for it, even if he was the one to find the poor cat hanging by her tail. The twelve-year-old was reasonably upset and Hedwig, like last year, stayed with the child regardless of the class. The professors tried to stop her but learned quickly that she would fight for her chick.

What Hadrian didn’t know, was that the old bastard had tried to kill her on more than one occasion. Being a demon, however, made that a trial in futility. She would just show up the next morning on Hadrian’s head and looked the bastard square in the eye.

Hadrian was now in the chamber being comforted by Angel. During a stupid Defense club ‘class’ someone summoned a snake and it got scared when the stupid teacher launched it into the air. When it landed, Hadrian was quick to comfort it and make sure it got home safe. Everyone there looked at him like he was a freak. They started whispering about how he must be the one attacking people and Hadrian just ran.

“Kiddo, you know you ain’t a monsta, right? Trust me, I’ve seen monstas and you ain’t it.” Hadrian sniffled a bit but didn’t leave his hiding spot in Angel’s chest fluff. Had it been anyone else, Angel would have charged them or straight up shot them but the kid just wanted to feel safe, even if it was only for a little while.

“Hey Angel, can you tell me more about Pentagram City? Daddy never went there much and Sissy only bar hopped on her birthday.” The arachnid chuckled, “Sure, why the fuck not.” Angel gently made Hadrian look at him. “But Hady, you gotta promise me one thing. Neve talk to, listen to, or even interact with the Overlord Valantino. If ya see him, you are to run the other way and not look back. He’s a really bad demon and I don’t want him gettin his sick claws into ya. Bad enough he’s already got his claws in ta me.”

Hearing this, Hedwig got a determined look in her eyes. Well, she had never liked the little roach and Ozzie sure as hell didn’t either. If she played her cards right, she’d be adopting a cute arachnid as well.

Throughout the year, Hadrian mainly kept to himself. He avoided everyone he could and didn’t keep up with the school gossip surrounding those that were petrified. However, Hedwig, Kora, and the elves did. Once more at the end of the year, the Defense professor was found dead in his office and Hedwig dropped off a rather suspicious journal to Gringotts. They were very pleased to get rid of such a nasty Soul Shard and if deep within their vaults, another was destroyed? Well, what a happy coincidence!

YEAR THREE;

So far, the year hadn’t been too bad, other than the creepy shadow people that were haunting the castle. The fact that a supposed serial killer was after him, really didn’t bother him. He lives in hell were there are plenty of them! Plus, he was protected by Hedwig, Kora, and Angel! So, he’d like to see Sirius Black try and get to him!

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: @SpiderQueen are you free?

SpiderQueen is online

SpiderQueen: Sure kiddo, what’s up?

Magic_Cutie: There’s apparently a serial killer after me and there are these really creepy things, dementors is what they’re called I think. They tried to attack me on the train to the castle but Hedwig scared it off! Isn’t that cool!?

SpiderQueen: One; WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN A SERIAL KILLER!? Two; WHAT THE FUCK IS A DEMENTOR!? Three; HEDWIG IS FUCKING AMAZING FOR PROTECTING MY LITTLE BRO!

Hadrian giggled happily. He loved it when Angel said they were brothers!

Magic_Cutie: His name is Sirius Black and apparently he betrayed the Potters and got them killed. He was apparently also responsible for killing their friend Peter Pettigrew. I don’t believe it though. The adults here tend to forget that I don’t want to be here, so I snoop around like daddy taught me! I found out all sorts of things about the two men and the elves were more than happy to tell me more. According to them, Pettigrew could turn into a rat and Black could turn into a black dog! I think I’ve seen Black twice and Pettigrew has been living in the tower as a rat.

SpiderQueen: WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN PETTIGREW’S BEEN LIVING IN THE TOWER?!

Magic_Cutie: He’s pretending to be a student’s pet rat. Hedwig doesn’t like him so takes to screeching at him when she sees him. I think she plans on dropping him in the middle of the dining hall and forcing him to shift. I think it will be quite funny! OH! You can use the cloak to watch! It’ll be so much fun!

SpiderQueen: DON’T YOU DARE TRY AND CHANGE THE SUBJECT YOU LITTLE SHIT! ALSO, HELL YEAH I WANT TO BE THERE!

Magic_Cutie: I’m not changing the subject, I just don’t want you to worry! I have Hedwig and Kora to protect me. Not that this will help, but my new Defense teacher is a werewolf.

SpiderQueen is typing…

YEAR FOUR;

The end of third year didn’t end in any deaths, though Hadrian was now living with his innocent Godfather Sirius Black. The man knew about Kora and Angel, the first because Hadrian told him and the second because Sirius walked in on them talking. He hadn’t know what to say at first, but one look from a highly amused Hedwig had the man conceding defeat. Though it wasn’t the first time a demon had been summoned in the Ancestral House of Black.

When Sirius was given custody of Hadrian, something the old fucker from the castle tried to stop too bad he couldn’t find the court room, he black listed everyone from the Order of the Phoenix from the house. Hadrian didn’t really care for the details, he was just happy that he could summon Angel more often.

There was one other upside and that was the interesting House Elf named Kreacher. He respected Hedwig and seemed to simply adore Hadrian. While he didn’t like Sirius, the feeling was very much mutual. The elf’s first encounter with Angel was definitely interesting to say the least. The two brothers had just been hanging out on the kids room when the elf popped in. He took one look at Angel then at Hadrian before popping back out.

They looked at each other in question, just as Kreacher popped back in with a strange locket. Hedwig took one look at it before grabbing it from the elf and heading for Gringotts. The brothers were still confused but Kreacher looked rather pleased and asked Angel if he’d be staying for dinner.

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: @SpiderQueen, I know it’s late but are you free? I really need someone right now. Something happened with the fucking tournament I told you about. Sirius won’t be here until tomorrow but right now I just…

SpiderQueen is online

SpiderQueen: Give me five minutes, kiddo. Vox is here talking business with Val and I can’t slip out just yet. Head down to the chamber, curl up with Kora, and I’ll be there as soon as I can

Angel tried not to make it look like he was running from the studio, when he really really wanted to. When Hadrian messaged him, the arachnid could immediately tell something was very much wrong. Ducking Val was easy, he’d done so main times before but it was Vox that was the problem. The fucking TV was watching him closely all night and it set Angel’s nerves on fire and not in a good way.

As Angel calmly walked down the street, he tried not to look suspicious. He could feel Vox following him; why, he wasn’t sure. Having been in the mob before he dead, Angel knew how to get rid of a tail and did just that.

Once he felt safe enough, he sent Hadrian a text. Just as he hit send, Vox came out of nowhere and grabbed his arm. “Val tells me you’ve been acting strange, asked that I find out why.” Angel didn’t even have a chance to responded before the summoning circle lit up under their feet.

Upon landing in the chamber, Angel acted quickly. “KORA!” The basilisk didn’t even hesitate to wrap the TV Overlord within her coils. The demon was clearly shocked and didn’t seem to know how to respond. Angel held Hadrian close but kept his eyes on the other demon. “FUCK! If we send you back you’re gonna tell Val all about this but if I just have Kora eat ya then you can’t and Val will think I had something to do with it! FUCK I’M SCREWED EITHER WAY!” During Angel’s panicked rant, Hedwig landed on the TV Overlords head.

“Angel…” He looked down at his little brother, who was pointing towards the other demon. Looking up, Angel was deeply appalled. “Hedwig, ya can’t be serious!? He’s Val’s fuck toy!” The owl remained were she was, looking very much unmoved. They stared each other down but Hedwig wouldn’t budge. “AAAAA! FINE, BUT HE SO MUCH AS LOOKS AT HADY WRONG AND I’M SHOOTIN HIM!”

Hedwig nodded sharply, hopped down to look Vox in the eye, and judged his very soul. The demon quickly grew uncomfortable as he came to the same understanding that Angel had when he first met the owl. “Kora, you can release him. Hedwig gives her approval, apparently.” The basilisk didn’t look happy but did let go of the demon.

“So, this is what has been going on? You were summoned by a human child?” Angel really didn’t want to answer but Hadrian did. “Didn’t mean to summon Angel. I was hoping to summon my dad or sister but I’m glad I summoned him, he gives really good hugs. Angel, I wanna go home!” Hadrian started crying hard, so all of Angel’s attention went to the kid.

“Hady, what happened?” “I’m in the fucking tournament and there’s nothing that fucking old goat is willing to do about it! Sirius won’t be here until tomorrow and even then I don’t think he can do anything about it! All three schools are calling me a cheater and a liar when I told them I didn’t put my name in. The twins and Luna believe me but it really hurts and I’m really scared!” Hadrian screamed as all the pent up anger came forth.

Angel just let him scream and vent out all of his feelings. “Hady, we’ll figure this out, ok? Sirius isn’t gonna leave you on your own and I’m sure he’ll bring Kreacher with him. Ya know how much that elf loves ya, not to mention to castle elves.” The kid laughed softly before turning his attention to the other demon, in hopes of distracting himself for the time being. “Angel says that you sleep with the roach but if that was true, I don’t think Hedwig would have let you come with Angel.”

Vox blinked slowly, trying to process what he just witnessed. “Just for the record, Val was the one who started those rumors, I just didn’t argue them. Porn is part of the Entertainment Industry and that’s what my power is based on, entertainment. Val doesn’t like to admit it, but he’s not as powerful as he likes to claim. His deals come from being a silver tongued bastard and intimidation. Sure, he’s killed a few demons, but put him against another Overlord and he’d be toast.”

Angel blinked slowly as all of that info sank in. He looked at Hedwig, who was smug as fuck, before looking back at Vox. “I think I know why Hedwig let you live.”

Magic_Cutie: @SpiderQueen @I.T._Support I just got done with the first task and turns out I can speak to dragons too! Selene was really nice! Does hell have dragons? We didn’t travel to the other Rings that much.

@SpiderQueen is online

SpiderQueen: First; WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU FACING A DRAGON IN THE FIRST PLACE!? Two; I don’t know

I.T._Support is online

I.T._Support: One; why is this my name? Two; what the fuck kind of school are you at? Three; yes, but mainly in the Wraith or Envy Rings, though I’m not entirely sure.

SpiderQueen: That’s your name because it’s correct

Magic_Cutie: A school that kidnaps eleven-year-olds from their families and puts a spell on them so they can’t tell anyone. Also, I needed to steal a golden egg from Selene but once I explained it to her she gladly gave it to me

SpiderQueen is typing…

I.T._Support: Is he going to go on a rant?

Magic_Cutie: Probably, though it wouldn’t be the first time. All the schools seem to believe me now that I didn’t put my name in the cup, not that I care. Though Sirius called them all jackass’s and that they could keep their fake apologies to themselves. It was actually really funny to watch! Also, I think my Defense teacher is going to die again this year. Hedwig is giving him one of her ‘Looks’

I.T._Support: Should I be concerned that he’s still typing? Also, is it a regular thing for your teachers to die and what was with the egg?

Magic_Cutie: No, he’s probably looking up big words to make his argument sound more impressive and yes to the teachers thing but mainly the Defense one. When I opened the egg I was in the chamber with Kora. It screeched something awful, so I quickly shut it. Kora said it was merfolk song and that it always sounds like a dying cat out of the water. Sirius has a bath in his room so I took it there. Long story short, they’re apparently going to take someone precious to me or that’s what I think it translates to. I hope Sirius doesn’t mind getting wet, he’s rather fond of his hair. Also, you might want to mute your phone within the next ten minutes because Angel’s almost done

SipderQueen: FUCK YEAH! You better have taken pictures and please tell me you wore the purple dress!?

I.T._Support: Why do I get the feeling that your Godfather made a scene? Also, I completely approve of the purple dress, Angel showed me a picture of it.

Magic_Cutie: OH! He so made a scene but it was so much fun! He ended up setting the old goat on fire and I’m pretty sure Kreacher helped him prank everyone that tried to cozy up to me. I saw a lot of differently colored people fleeing from the room and yes we took wizarding pictures. Hedwig even came with me!

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: One; Sirius looks like a drowned rat when wet. Two; the goat and Ministry official running the tournament are in trouble for ‘volunteering’ a child to be dropped into the bottom of the lake. Three; I rescued the kid once Kora scared the shit out of the merfolk trying to stop me. Four; Kora has access to the Black Lake thanks to the castle elves

SpiderQueen: I demand pictures!

I.T._Support: Kora must be thrilled to be able to get some much needed fresh air. Didn’t you mention her only having access to the pipes in the castle? Also, I demand pictures as well

Magic_Cutie: Love the fact that you’re not even shocked by the goat kidnapping another kid. But yeah there are pictures and Kora is beyond thrilled. She can go into the Forbidden Forest too so she can actually go hunting as she likes

SpiderQueen: Why should we comment on something he’s done before? It’s not like it was a surprise. Also, Vox stop drinking my sodas!

I.T._Support: Then stop eating my candy!

Magic_Cutie: What exactly is going on with you two?

I.T._Support: I’m trying to find a loop hole in Angel’s contract with the roach and he’s been secretly living with me

Magic_Cutie: Does that mean you two are going to start dating?

SpiderQueen: FUCK NO! I HAVE SOME STANDARDS DAMNIT! Plus, Vox has a growing crush on some one

I.T._Support: It’s been ten minutes. I’m using the emergence spell Hadrian made

SpiderQueen: Good, keep me informed

I.T._Support is offline

Vox shoved his phone in his pocket and grabbed the ritual paper Hadrian gave both demons. Lighting it on fire, he repeated the reverse summoning spell. Much to his shock, he landed in what looked like a graveyard. Switching over to his human disguise, Vox carefully moved through the gravestones.

What he found boiled his blood. Hadrian was bleeding on the ground with multiple masked people surrounding him and some snake faced bastard. Vox would have thought he was a demon if not for the magic rolling off of him. When the bastard raised his wand towards Hadrian, Vox didn’t hesitate to interfere.

Charging forward through the crowd, Vox slashed at the creature. “Like hell I’m letting you hurt him!” The other reared back with a scream and Vox followed, slashing and killing anyone else that tried to interfere. Looks like he and Angel would be doing some hunting later in Hell.

Before long, they realized that they were out matched and started fleeing, starting with Vox’s main target. Once they were all gone, the demon rushed back to Hadrian. “FUCK, HADY!?” He gently rolled the teen over and started checking him for injures. Other than a really nasty cut on his arm, he mainly had cuts and bruises.

Vox looked around spotting what looked like a trophy and a dead body. Before long a screeching Hedwig flew into view and started circling the cup. “I’m going to pick you up Hady and I’ll try and be as gentle as I can.” Hadrian was slightly conscience and pointed towards the other body. “Need take him home.” Vox nodded and grabbed the other body. Hedwig landed on his head and waited for Vox to touch the cup. “I know for a fact I’m not going to like this.”

Upon touching the cup, Vox was thrown into the worst sensation he had ever felt but did thankfully land on his feet. Ignoring the people cheering the supposed ‘champion’ Vox looked around for Sirius. “Black, I need your help!”

The crowd slowly fell silent and someone screamed upon seeing the dead body. Vox didn’t care for any of it and simply looked around for Sirius who was in front of them before long. “What the hell happened?” “When I found him he was surrounded by people in masks and some guy that could pass for a demon. I killed quite a few of them and injured the ring leader but he did get away.”

I.T._Support: @SpiderQueen it’s bad, Angel. It’s really bad

YEAR FIVE;

What happened after the tournament was a cluster fuck. Vox lied and said he was hired by Sirius to monitor Hadrian during the shit show of a tournament, just in case something like this happened. Sirius happily backed this up and anyone that tried to get close to the demon and teen was met with a furies Hedwig.

Upon arriving back home, Vox quickly summoned Angel who was finally free from work. The arachnid didn’t hesitate to cocoon the still shell shocked teen in multiple blankets and hugs.

They both stayed the night and once more, the fake Defense teacher was found dead in his office. The real one, called Mad-eye Moody, was found inside of his own trunk, very much pissed.

Hadrian was on his way back from the cake shop just around the corner from the house. Sirius had been hesitant to let him do so at first but relented when Kreacher volunteered to follow the teen, invisibly of course. “Kreacher, can we make that pasta dish Angel likes? I get the feeling that he hasn’t had the best day.”

“Of course, Master Hadrian. Kreacher just be needing to make sure Bad Black isn’t in the kitchen this time.” Kreacher’s speech had gotten better, seeing as Vox made it his personal mission to make sure the elf spoke properly; he counted Angel as a lost cause.

“You know he didn’t mean to set the fire.” The elf huffed, “Makes no difference. Bad Black is a bad cook.” Hadrian chuckled before a cold sick feeling washed over him. “Kreacher, please go get Siri.” The elf didn’t even try to argue and did as told.

Not a moment later a confused looking Sirius was standing there. “Hady, kid. What’s going on?” Just as he asked the question, two dementors were coming at them. “Ah…”

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: So, I almost got arrested and expelled from Hogwarts but Sirius opened his mouth. I mean, I don’t want to get arrested but I sure as hell didn’t want to go back to Hogwarts. Also, you know how my Patronus is a Kelpie? Well Sirius’ is a basset hound and it is the cutes thing!

I.T._Support: Fuck

Hadrian was back at Hogwarts for only a few weeks and he already wanted the year to be over. There was a pink toad teaching Defense and she had it out for him and he didn’t even know why. Hedwig didn’t like her either and made that very clear.

But right now, all of that seemed so worth it.

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: @SpiderQueen @I.T._Support I HAVE A NEW FRIEND AND YOU NEED TO MEET HER! SHE MAKES UP FOR EVERYTHING THE PINK TOAD IS TRYING TO DO TO ME!

SpiderQueen is online

I.T._Support is online

SpiderQueen: What the fuck is a pink toad? And what is she trying to do to you?

I.T._Support: Who’s this ‘friend’?

SpiderQueen: VOX THIS ISN’T THE TIME FOR THAT! WHO OR WHAT IS THE PINK TOAD?!

Magic_Cutie: The pink toad is the new Defense teacher, who I don’t think is going to be around much longer than another week. As for my friend, you have to come meet her, I don’t think she’ll show up in a picture

SpiderQueen: WE’RE BOTH FREE!

One summoning ritual later, both demons were staring in shock at what was standing behind Hadrian. It looked like a horse with black leather skin stretched over its bones and large bat like wings. Milky white eyes looked at them and Angel subtly hid behind Vox, as he was slightly taller.

“Um… Hadrian, who’s this?” The teen beamed at them as he continued to feed the creature raw meat. Kora didn’t seem to be the least bit bothered by this and Hedwig was looking quite pleased. “This is Briar and she’s a thestral! You can apparently only see them if you’ve seen someone die and accepted death. I’ve seen plenty of demons die, so I’ve seen them since I arrived, I just didn’t know what they were called. She walked right up to me and has been following me around ever since! It’s funny when other students walk into her because they can’t see her!”

The two demons didn’t know what to say. Quite honestly, the thestral scared them with the way she was looking(?) at them. “Hady, she ain’t gonna eat us, is she?” Hadrian looked at his brother like he had gained a second head. “No? I mean not unless you attack her.”

This really didn’t reassure them.

Two days later, Hadrian let them both know that the teacher was dead again.

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: I don’t know what went wrong…

Magic_Cutie: One minute I was at the castle and then I was at the Ministry… Sirius was there too, looking for me I think…

Magic_Cutie: Then everything went wrong…

Magic_Cutie: Siri’s dead… I have to go to Gringotts tomorrow…

Magic_Cutie: I don’t know what to do…

Hadrian was sitting on his bedroom floor, staring blankly at his phone. Tears were pouring down his face and he felt numb. Kreacher was seated to his left, Briar to his right, and Hedwig was on his shoulder preening his hair. Before long, blue taloned hands took the phone from him and pink gloved hands gently picked him up. “Don’t worry, sugar. We’ll both go which ya and make sure nothin happens.”

“Angel’s right, Hady. Kreacher and Briar can even come as well. You know the goblins adore you, so I don’t think they’ll mind.” Teary eyes looked up at the demon but Vox could see that Hadrian wasn’t all there. “Let’s try and get some sleep and in the morning we’ll try and make sense of everything.”

YEAR SIX;

Thanks to a loophole from when Hadrian was forced to participate in the tournament. He was seen as a legal adult and thus didn’t need to go to Hogwarts. The old goat tried to fight this but the goblins were having none of it. So, Hadrian was studying from home and thus was avoiding all the bullshit going on in the Ministry and the Death Eater attacks they were trying to deny were happening.

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: Um… do either of you know what a cherub is? Because there is one currently talking to me. He says Siri sent them

SpiderQueen: I’ve heard of them before, their some type of angel that visits earth to do good deeds or something like that

SpiderQueen: *they’re

I.T._Support: They’re small fry angels that don’t really have much power other than to grant ‘miracles’. Wait, did you say Sirius sent them?

Magic_Cutie: Yeah. At first I thought I was hallucinating when a red headed kid, yellow sheep, and purple sheep arrived in the kitchen but then Hedwig attacked the first two. She seems to like Collin though, he’s the purple one.

SpiderQueen: That would explain why we couldn’t find him in hell. Damn, I feel betrayed

I.T._Support: I actually feel the same, I was hoping he’d help me prank Alastor

Magic_Cutie: What is it with you and Alastor?

Magic_Cutie: Apparently the castle was attacked. Most of the students made it out safe, but the castle is under Death Eater control. The papers are wondering where the ‘Great Harry Potter’ is. I’ve taken to burning them as has Kreacher. I’m glad that we moved Kora out of the place when I left.

SpiderQueen: While I feel bad for the kids stuck in a war started by old men wanting power, I’m happy that you weren’t there.

I.T._Support: I agree with Angel but please be careful. Those bastards will get desperate and try every way they can to pull you in. They went through all the trouble to pull you from your family and made sure you could tell no one. I suggest you travel for a few months until they get their shit sorted

SpiderQueen: I agree!

Magic_Cutie: I was thinking of doing so anyway over the summer. I don’t think it will be long before they paint a target on my back that I can’t escape from in Britian. I promise to call or message you guys every day! I’ll even send pictures!

I.T._Support: Angel is sitting right acrossed from me and I can feel the rage as he types. But back to the point, what, what, and what!?

Magic_Cutie: Elliot came to me as I was trying to catch a boat to Japan. He was sad to say that Fate won’t let me get out of her war. One way or another the goat was going to find me but Elliot said that if I win her stupid game I can go home but here’s the part you’re not going to like.

I.T._Support: Hadrian, what is it? We could never hate you, it’s not like you chose this

Magic_Cutie: Elliot has named me his Master, something I was always destined for and something Fate doesn’t know. Here’s the part you guys won’t like… Fate expects me to die in this war but with me being the Master of Death that won’t happen. However, in order to get home… I still have to die by the snake fucks hand for the title to take affect

SpiderQueen: WHAT THE FUCK, HADY! NO, I WONT ALLOW THIS, THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY TO GET YOU HOME THEN YOU DYING!

Magic_Cutie: Angel, there is no other option. Elliot tried. He says the moment my heart stops I’m free from Fate and he can take me home. I won’t fall alone! I’m supposed to go with Hedwig and wake up in her home, safe and sound! Plus, Briar, Kora, and possibly Kreacher can come with me!

SpiderQueen is offline

I.T._Support: He’s just really upset, Hadrian. Give him some time to calm down but Hady, are you sure about this?

Magic_Cutie: At first? No, I was fucking scared! But Vox? I really want to go home. I want to remember what my family looks like, what their names are, what their voices sound like! I don’t think I could last another year trapped here on earth.

I.T._Support: Ok… I don’t like it but ok.

Magic_Cutie: Vox, what’s it like to die?

SpiderQueen is online

SpiderQueen: It’s like falling asleep, Hady. Just close your eyes and when you wake up, you’ll be back home

YEAR SEVEN;

Hadrian walked through the Forbidden Forest, his body aching quite a bit. He hadn’t expected to fight when he got back to the castle, the epicenter for the war. It wasn’t like he didn’t know how to but he was better with guns and his magic, while powerful, was heavily untrained due to the castle being more of a free for all for him then a school. The teachers never made sense or taught him in a way that felt right for his magic.

Maybe when he got home, Hedwig could teach him!?

Feeling slightly better, Hadrian continued through the forest. Hadrian really didn’t pay attention to the jeering going on as he entered the clearing where the snake faced bastard is. All of the other Soul Shards had been destroyed by Hedwig and the goblins over the years, so once Hadrian died, that was it for the bastards and their war.

But a small part of Hadrian felt bad for Tom Riddle, the boy that was turned into a snake faced monster because of a goat seeking power. Maybe once he’s back home he can look for Voldemort(?) and see if his mind is back together. If it wasn’t, then the raven could put him out of his misery once and for all.

When Hadrian focused back on the man, the last thing he saw was a green light heading for him.

Blinking his eyes open, Hadrian found himself in a white room that looked like an elegant ballroom. Standing in front of him was a woman with long black and white hair wearing a long gray dress and robe. “Sorry, kiddo but you needed to make a pitstop before going home.”

She waved her hand and two chairs appeared. “Please sit, this won’t be too long.” Hadrian did so hesitantly, “Um… who are you?” She smiled, “My name is Scarlett and I’m the Judge of far too many things to discuss right now. You’re here, because I wished to apologize for how your life played out. I knew this Fate was going out of control but didn’t stop her in time. Thus you suffered needlessly and once more I apologize.”

Hadrian wasn’t sure what to do but then Elliot came rushing in. He was tall with blond hair, silver eyes, and pale skin. “Scarlett! Hadrian isn’t in hell! Oh… Hi.”

She chuckled, “I was just about to send him on his way. Don’t worry, Elliot.” Scarlett then gently touched her fingers to Hadrian’s forehead and he knew nothing else

IN HELL;

In all of the Rings of Hell, the skies shimmered with raw power and a symbol appeared in the sky. It was a triangle with a circle in the center and a line going through the middle. It was the symbol of the Master of Death.

Every Sin, Overlord, and Lucifer himself knew that this added a whole new power to the Hierarchy of Hell. And they all wanted it.

Chapter Text

When Hedwig awoke, she knew she was in her bedroom at her brother’s palace. Why? Because she could hear the Bitch-in-Law screaming. Sitting up, it took her a minute to get used to being in her own body again. Once she got her bearings, Hedwig looked into the mirror.

Four bright amber eyes looked back at her. Hedwig was the same height and build as her twin but unlike him she was mainly white with hints of black, just like the snow owl she was. Cracking her neck, Hedwig stood up, grabbed her robe, and stormed from her room. Because Hadrian sure as hell wasn’t in there like he was supposed to be!

Stalking through the halls, Hedwig only needed to follow the screaming to find her brother. Upon entering the kitchen, she saw the bitch about to throw a plant at him. With flick of her wrist, the pot stopped in midair.

All eyes turned to her.

“Well, Stella, good to see that you’re still a raving bitch.” Hedwig slowly stalked towards the shell-shocked snow goose. “Why is it that I normally find you insulting and throwing things at my brother?” Stella swallowed and then gained a glint in her eye. “Your pathetic brother cheated on me and fucked an imp!”

Hedwig looked to her brother, “Oh? Is he cute? Wait! Please tell me that it’s Blitzo! You used to talk about him all the time and I always thought you’d make such a cute couple!” Stolas blinked slowly before nodding. “Um, yes it is, but the O is silent now.” This was when Octavia entered the room.
Upon seeing Hedwig, she tackled her into a hug. “AUNT HEDY!” The older owl laughed happily and pushed the girl back to get a good look at her. “Sweet Satan! Via, you look gorgeous! You remind me of Stolas at this age! OH! I should show you the pictures!” That’s when Hedwig remembered why she came looking for her brother in the first place.

“Stolas, I need your help finding my chick, Hadrian. He was the one Death asked me to watch over for the past couple of years. He was supposed to arrive with me to the palace but that’s obviously not what happened.” The other owl looked shocked, “Did you just say Hadrian?” She nodded, “Yes, why?”

Instead of answering her, Stolas quickly pulled out his phone. “Blitz, Hadrian’s back in hell. We’ll be at your office in five minutes.” He quickly hung up and dragged Hedwig back through the palace, Octavia following them. “Dad, what’s going on?”

“Well, Starfire. It would seem that your aunt has been looking after Blitz’ son, who is now back in hell.”

At the I.M.P. office, Blitz was standing in the middle of the office, staring at his phone. Once everything clicked he looked up at Loona and M&M. “That was Stolas… he says that Hady’s back in hell. He’ll be here with his sister in five minutes so we can find him.” All three looked shocked but Loona quickly recovered. “Dad, are you serious? Hady’s actually back?” He nodded, “That’s what Stolas says.”

Just then, three owls entered the office through a portal. They all recognized Stolas and Octavia but the white owl was new. “Blitz, this is my sister, Hedwig. She arrived back only a few moments ago and Hadrian was supposed to be with her.”

Hedwig nodded, “I’m not too worried about his safety given the fact that he not only has a Death Horse with him but a basilisk as well. He is in the Pride Ring, I know that for a fact. A tracking spell should work just fine but if he’s in Pentagram City, we’ll want to move fast.”

As they were preforming the spell, Blitz’ phone rang.

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: @SpiderQueen @I.T._Support can one of you come and find me, please? I don’t know what happened but I didn’t wake up with Hedwig and Kora is a few seconds away from killing multiple sinners

I.T._Support is online

I.T._Support: I’ll come get you just don’t move or turn your phone off

Magic_Cutie: I don’t think Kora would let me move anyway but please hurry

Vox wasted no time finding Hadrian and sure enough there were quite a few sinners sniffing around but knew better then to get close to the giant snake. “Kora, I’m here for Hady!” The basilisk quickly looked at him before quickly uncoiling herself. Hadrian was bleeding and looked really tired, so Vox wasted no time in getting them all back to his tower. Thankfully, Kora could change her size for easy travel.

The demon ignored all the other demons watching him, more focused on getting Hadrian treated. Briar was doing a fantastic job scaring everyone out of the way, so Vox got to his tower rather quickly. His staff knew better then to question him. Upon reaching his floor, Vox quickly headed for the bathroom. “Fuck, I wish Angel was here. He’s better at cleaning wounds then I am. Sorry, Hady, this might feel strange.”

Hadrian didn’t say anything and just let Vox clean him up. Once the demon was done, Hadrian suddenly lit up. “VOX, WHERE’S MY PHONE!?” The other jumped at the sudden noise but handed the raven his phone. “What’s wrong?”

Teary green eyes looked up at him, “I remember my dad’s number.”

Blitz pulled the phone from his pocket, very much pissed. “WHAT!?” The line was silent for a second before Blitz heard someone starting to cry. “Daddy?” The imps brain short circuited, “Hady? SWEET SATAN! Are you ok? Where are you?” Hadrian tried to speak but all Blitz could hear was his son sobbing.

From behind him the owls had completed the spell. “Oh! Well, I’m not so worried now. It would appear that he is with Vox.” You could hear a record scratch as everyone looked at the white owl. Blitz paled rapidly but Loona looked pissed. “MY BROTHER IS WITH THE FUCKING TV OVERLORD AND YOU’RE NOT WORRIED!?” Hedwig blinked at them all, not understand as they didn’t have the same knowledge she did.

“Why yes. I imagen Hadrian messaged him in their shared chatroom when he realized that he wasn’t with me.” Hedwig ignored them all as she opened a portal into the Overlords home. She ignored the Great Dane sized Hammer Head Shark that was growling at her in favor of the slightly petrified demon. “Vox, it’s lovely to meet you properly!” Hedwig then threw him over her shoulder and started checking a still very upset Hadrian over.

Once Blitz and Loona got over the shock, they rushed in and sandwiched the crying teen. Moxxie and Mille eventually joined them fusing over the kid as well. This would have gone on for hours if not for the door being kicked open and Vox being tackled by a pink blur. “WHERE THE FUCK IS MY KID, YOU OVER GROWN TOASTER!? FUCK! THE ONE TIME MY PHONE DIES!”

All the gathered demons looked on as Angel Dust tried to strangle Vox as a Hammer Head Shark circled them happily. Hadrian suddenly started laughing through his tears at the chaos around him. It only got better when Elliot walked in.

Fuck, Hadrian was happy to be home.

Chapter Text

Once everyone had calmed down, Hedwig volunteered the palace for the large group to comfortably talk. When Vox asked why they couldn’t stay at his, she looked him died in the eye. “My Bitch-in-Law is still there and I want to make her look like a fucking idiot. Plus, I support my brother in his relationship with Blitz and I want her to damn well know it.”

So, here they were in one of the large sitting rooms that dotted the palace. One of the servants had already brought them tea and coffee and now they were all just sitting there awkwardly. Hedwig then clapped her hands. “Well, I suppose I can tell you all what happened with Hadrian, assuming that’s fine with you, Chick?” Hadrian was seated in between Loona and Angel with Blitz in his lap like a teddy bear. Said imp was admiring Briar, who was laying on the floor at Hadrian’s feet.

Kora had curled herself up by a rather nice fireplace that Hedwig had lit for her. Vark, Vox’s pet, was happily laying in front of the Overlord and was facing Briar and gently bopping her on the beak, which the Thestral didn’t seem to mind.

Millie and Moxxie were seated together in one of the chairs as the two facing couches were occupied with Elliot sitting in the other chair.
Hadrian blinked up at her and nodded. “I don’t mind, you know more about everything that went on then I do. I was more focused on finding a way home.” Hedwig nodded and summoned up some strong looking bottles of alcohol. “Trust me, we’re going to need that.”

For the next several hours, Hedwig told the group about what Hadrian had gone through. Angel and Vox chimed in every so often to add their two cents. Thankfully, Stella didn’t make an appearance during this time, because if she had, she most likely wouldn’t have left alive. But by the end, all the alcohol was gone and pretty much everyone was enraged.

All of their attention was suddenly drawn to a clapping Elliot. “WELL! Seeing as Hadrian will need to go back to the Human World to speak with the goblins about transferring all of his assets to their Hell branch. You’ll get the chance to get some revenge. Also, Hadrian, I have a little surprise for you!” With a snap of his fingers, a short, disgruntled looking ram appeared. His wool was a mix of black and gray with a white face, yellow sclera, green irises, and black hooves, horns, wings, and tail.

Hadrian lit up upon seeing the little creature but didn’t move from his spot. “KREACHER!” The little creature instantly looked up and his entire demeanor changed. “Master Hadrian!” Kreacher’s tail was wagging happily, but then he caught sight of Vox. The former elf didn’t approve of the Overlord and Hadrian didn’t have a clue as to why.

Kreacher started grumbling but didn’t say anything outright. Seeing how happy Hadrian was made Blitz thrilled but there was one problem. “Hady, I’m happy that your home, believe me, but the apartment ain’t big enough for Briar, Kora, and Kracher, right?” Hadrian nodded sadly but then Elliot chimed in again. “Why don’t you move into the manor then?”

This gained everyone’s attention. “What manor?” Hadrian asked which had Elliot motioning towards the balcony windows behind him. Everyone followed him as he pointed right next door. On the other side of the palace wall was a rather elegantly designed gothic manor. The three owls who had lived at the palace their whole lives, blinked in shock. “Stolas, that wasn’t there before, was it?”

He slowly shook his head. “No, Hedwig, it was not.” Elliot chuckled, “That’s because it’s been hidden away until the arrival of the Master of Death, A.K.A Hadrian. When Lucifer somehow found out that I would have a master he started poking fun. So, I told him I’d build my master a grand manor right in the middle of the Ars Goetia estates and say nothing. There would just suddenly be a building that I knew they would hate and he’d have to deal with their bitching and he could do nothing about it. Pretty sure that’s why Paimon gave this place to the twins. Just to fuck with the prissy owl, I hid the manor right after he left.”

Blitz looked at his kids, clearly asking what they thought. Loona shrugged, “I don’t have a problem with it. After Hadrian was kidnapped I never felt really happy there.” Hadrian looked at him happily, “Elliot said that there’s a stable in the back! So, we can get Briar a friend!” Just as Hadrian was going to say something else, Stella made her appearance finally.

She walked towards Elliot and curtsied, looking very much proper. “Lord Death, what a lovely surprise! What brings you to our home?” Elliot smiled charmingly, “I’m just discussing with my Master and his family if they would wish to move in next door. I thought the fact the he and your daughter were the same age might help.” Stella got a looking in her eye as Elliot motioned towards Hadrian.

That gleam in her eye quickly turned to rage when she caught sight of Blitz. Hedwig was thrilled with this and practically begged for the family of three to move in. “Blitz, I will fucking pay you to move in! Fucking please!”

The imp took one look at Stella and got a shit eating grin on his face. “Well, looks like we’re neighbors now, bitch!”

Chapter Text

It was the night before the full moon and Blitz and Stolas stayed up all night talking which somehow turned into them building a fort of pillows and blankets. They fell asleep inside and unknown to them, Hedwig took pictures and sent them to the group chat. When they woke up, Stolas asked Blitz if he’d like to come to the Harvest Moon Festival with him. “It’s a very special occasion that I think Hadrian would enjoy.” Blitz blinked slowly trying to fully wake up. “What Ring is it in and why Hady?” Stolas chuckled softly, “The festival takes place in the Wrath Ring. As for why Hadrian, since both Hedwig and I are teaching him how to use magic properly, I think it would be good for him to see the main event!”

Blitz’ brain finally caught up at this point. “Moxxie and Millie are both from Wrath and she’s been wanting ta visit. Sure! I think Millie’s parents own a farm so that should work out well. Briar refuses ta leave Hadrian’s side and I don’t imagine that Kora will leave him alone either.”

Moving around some pillows, Blitz found his phone. Seeing that it was a reasonable hour, he opened the group chat.

Cast-iron_Chef is online

Cast-iron_Chef: @Jigsaw @Theater_Kid @FullMooned @Magic_Cutie How do you all feel about going to the Wrath Ring for the Harvest Moon Festival?
Jigsaw is online

Theater_Kid is online

Magic_Cutie is online

Jigsaw: THE HARVEST MOON FESTIVAL! FUCK YEAH!

Theater_Kid: Sir, don’t we have work?

Cast-iron_Chef: Nope! Stolas needs the book for the festival

Magic_Cutie: Loona doesn’t care and as long as I can bring Briar and Kora with me I’d love to!

Jigsaw: My parents own a ranch and as long as they don’t cause a fuss, they won’t care!

Cast-iron_Chef: Then get packed bitches we’re going to Wrath!

It took a little bit to figure out how to get Briar to Wrath but in the end Hedwig just stuck her to the top of the van and Hadrian could get her off once they arrived. Hadrian didn’t want her getting dust in her face, so he made her a plague mask to wear. It was the funniest and cutest thing any of them had seen.

Upon arriving at Rough n’ Tumble ranch, they were greeted by Millie’s parents. Seeing this, she was the first out of the van. “Mama! Daddy!” While Millie was talking with her parents, Hadrian was getting Briar off the van. She stood up and shook herself off before hopping down.

During this, Moxxie was trying to bring the bags to the house. “Y’all remember my husband, Moxxie?” Both Blitz and Hadrian stared wide eyed at the bus Moxxie was just thrown under.

“Greetings Lynn, Joe. How have you been now with all the flaming twisters and stuff around here?” Moxxie asked somewhat nervously. Joe didn’t look the least bit amused. “We lost our old farm hand to one of them tarots last week.” Moxxie slowly lowered his hand and chuckled nervously. “Oh, oh crumbs, my bad. I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to open that wound, sir.”

Seeing how badly Moxxie was doing, Blitz decided to make himself known. “Hey, watch it! I’m the sir here, Bucko.” Millie redirected her parents towards the others. “OH YEAH! Y’all haven’t met my boss Blitz, his hellhound daughter Loona, and… Hadrian what exactly are you, demon wise?”

The teen blinked in shock, caught off guard by the question. “Oh, I’m a Death Dragon or at least that’s what Elliot said.” Millie nodded and went back to her introductions. “And this is his death dragon son, Hadrian!” Blitz walked towards the two older imps. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet the sperm and egg factory that popped out this little gem of an assassin. You two raised a sturdy bitch.” Joe started chuckling, “That we did! So, Blitz is it? Yeah, that’s a fine name.” Lynn nodded along, “Reminds me of war.” Joe nodded as well, “Nothing like a little war to make a strong man.”

Blitz looked between the two imps. “I like you people.”

Hadrian, having been in war, didn’t see the appeal but to each their own. From the corner of his eye, Hadrian saw Moxxie trying to enter the conversation once more and couldn’t stop him in time. “You know, more battles were won by technological advances in warfare. I’ve researched the history of weaponry extensively and it’s inspiring how, for example, the progression of guns utilizing angelic technology has changed the landscape of hell’s combative…” Three of the four imps were looking at him like he was a foreign object and the fourth was motioning for her husband to stop talking. “I mean, more fun…”

While Hadrian was impressed with this knowledge, Joe was not. “Guns get the job done but a man ain’t nothing if he can’t tear the head off a hellish beast with only his bare hands!”

Blitz started laughing, “HA! He’s right Moxxie, you got cute widdle baby hands like your baby dick!” Hadrian saw were this was going and wasn’t sure if he should intervene or not. “Refrain, Sir.” Moxxie added, clearly annoyed but resigned to his fate.

Joe chuckled again, “Speaking of strong hands, y’all should meet our newest help. HEY, STRIKER!” Off in the distance, they could hear the sound of hooves. Just then, an orange fired hell horse jumped the fence with a serpentine like imp on its back. Hadrian felt unnerved and stayed close to Briar. The Thestral felt his discomfort and stood slightly in front of him while Kora softly hissed.

All of which Blitz noticed.

“Well howdy! Oh, looky here, you must be the famous Mildred. Heard some good things about you from your folks, Little Lady.” Millie chuckled bashfully. “What are y’all doing so far away from imp city? Huh, the free work’n finally slowin’ down?” Millie laughed, “Freelance isn’t free, it’s… never mind. We’re just visiting for the festival, the prince is our boss’s boyfriend.”

Hadrian perked up, “Daddy, you’re dating Uncle Stolas!? When did this happen and why am I just finding out now!?” Blitz blushed and crossed his arms. “We’re not dating… yet… But Millie, I am not above hitting a female in front of her daddy.” Striker raised an eyebrow. “Boss huh? OH! So you’re the bold imp that started his own killing biz.” Blitz nodded, “Yeah, well when you’re good at something you should probably capitalize.”

“Not many imps start businesses on their own, that’s pretty impressive, Sir.” Blitz blinked in surprise but was mindful of how this guy set Hadrian on edge. “Oh? Yeah, it is, I guess… I guess it is, isn’t it.” Striker nodded, “So, you even conned that ditzy blue blood…” That was as far as Striker got before Kora was in his face.

She wasn’t in her full size, probably about the same height as Briar, but that didn’t make her any less intimidating. She hissed at him, which Hadrian didn’t bother translating as it was pretty obvious. “I don’t take kindly to people insulting my family, neither does Kora. That ‘ditzy blue blood’ happens to be my uncle and while you have every right not to like royals, I would request that you keep it to yourself.”

Hadrian’s eyes were glowing and an aura of death was slowly surrounding him. Briar was standing behind him, her wings on full display. Blitz walked over to him, “Hady, baby boy, you need to calm down. Kora’s already made the point very clear, remember that this is supposed to be just a fun family thing. Why don’t you text Angel or Vox? I’m sure one of them is free.” Hadrian took a deep breath and shot Striker one last look before doing as he was asked.

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: @I.T._Support @SpiderQueen are one of you free right now because I could really use a distraction

SpiderQueen is online

SpiderQueen: Vox has a meeting with Val, wouldn’t tell me what for but anyway that’s not the point. What’s up, kiddo?

Magic_Cutie: You remember how I.M.P. went to Wrath for the festival? Well, Millie’s parents hired this imp Striker and he just set me on edge. Then he had the audacity to insult Stolas! He hasn’t even met my uncle and he has the nerve to call my uncle a ditzy blue blood!

SpiderQueen: Stolas is a cinnamon roll! Only this family is allowed to call him a ditz! Hoe better not come to the Pride Ring any time soon, I might just hunt him down and shoot him!

Magic_Cutie: On another note, apparently my dad is going to be taking part in the ‘pain games’. So is the bastard but I know dad will kick his ass! HA! Millie’s been banned from the games for killing too many people!

SpiderQueen: Sounds about right and I haven’t even seen her in acting yet

SpiderQueen: *action

Magic_Cutie: It just got better! Her younger sister, Sallie May, is still allowed to participate even though she has a body count! In her words “It doesn’t count if they can’t find the bodies”!!

SpiderQueen: I think I love Millie’s family and I haven’t even met them!

Magic_Cutie: Moxxie says he’s going to enter the games and tried to prove this by trying to kill a hell hog. Their skin is rock hard so he’s trying to use a knife, Loona’s recording it so expect the video soon.

SpiderQueen: We love Moxxie in this family but there’s nothing wrong with a bit of embarrassment among family

Magic_Cutie: Very true. OH! He just got launched and the bastard killed it! We’re leaving for the festival soon so I got to go and join Uncle Stolas

SpiderQueen: Tell Moxxie we love him and make sure to cheer Blitz on for all of us!

Magic_Cutie: Will do!

Magic_Cutie is offline

Hadrian felt better as Wally Wackford announced the start of the pain games. Uncle Stolas was seated next to him and after his encounter with Striker earlier he was glad to be away from the imp. “Hadrian, dear, are you alright?” Looking to the left, he found his uncle looking at him in concern. “I am now, I just met an imp earlier that set my nerves on edge. I’m looking forward to dad kicking some ass in the games though!”

Stolas nodded happily, “Well, I’m glad to hear it! Why don’t we get the games started, yes?” Hadrian nodded and followed his uncle towards Wally. “Welcome! I say’ya welcome all to the annual Wrath Rings Harvest Moon Festival! To kick things off we have the great Prince Stolas and his nephew here to usher in this here Pain Games!” Stolas then took the mic from Wally. “How kind, Wackford! Greetings tiny Wrath Ring imps! I hereby welcome you all to another year of celebrating the spoils of your labor that continue to feed the citizens of Hell! I’m happy to kick off the start of these games that will challenge the toughest imps to show their skill and dominance! Good luck to you all! Especially that sexy little one there. Oh, Blitzy!” Hadrian snickered as his uncle winked, “KICK SOME ASS DAD AND MOXXIE!” The Blitz stuck his tongue out at Stolas before looking at Hadrian. “WILL DO, BABY BOY! RIGHT, MOX?!” The shorter imp swallowed nervously, “Yes, Sir.”

Hadrian pulled his phone out and started live streaming the games to the family group chat.

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: Dad’s kicking ass though that bastard is keeping up.

SongBird is online

SongBird: Hedwig, dear, could you look into an imp by the name of Striker? He has Hady on edge and I do not like seeing him upset.

TheEmpress: HE DID WHAT NOW!? Don’t worry, Stolas, I’ll look into him personally!

SongBird: Thank you, dear! OH! It looks like the games are over! Hadrian, we need to announce the winner!

SongBird is offline

Magic_Cutie is offline

Was Hadrian pleased that it was a tie between Striker and his dad? No. But his dad did win so there was that, though the fact that Striker needed to sing about winning was a bit much. “Dad, I think you should talk to Moxxie. I think he thinks you’re going to replace him.” The imp looked at him with a mouthful of cheese and hot sauce. He swallowed, “What makes him think that? You obviously hate the prick, so of course I wouldn’t hire him.”

Hadrian shrugged, “You know how Moxxie is, especially after what happened with the Pain Games.” Blitz sighed, “Yeah, you’re right. I’ll go lookin for him but stay with Stolas, please.”

The teen nodded and headed back to the stage. “Hey, Uncle Stolas? Can you please wear this for me?” Hadrian held out a black obsidian pendent that looked like Briar. “Of course dear but may I know why?” He gently took the pendent and put it around his neck. “I just have a bad feeling and would rather be safe than sorry. Guess I’m just feeling rather paranoid today.” Stolas gently ran his talons through Hadrian’s hair with a smile. “Well, hopefully the main event will help take your mind off of it.”

Now, when Blitz went to find Moxxie to call him an idiot, he hadn’t expected to see Striker throw the younger married couple into the cellar. I mean he wasn’t surprised but he figured Striker would be more careful. Blitz could be a sneaky bastard when he needed to be, so had no trouble following Striker upstairs.

Blitz was less then pleased to see Striker pointing an angelic blessed rifle towards the stage; A.K.A. at his kid and Stolas. Blitz pointed his gun at the other imp. “Uh, excuse me? The fuck?” Striker quickly turned around, “Blitz, I thought you were still at the ceremony.” Blitz looked at him like he was an idiot. “You’ve had my kid on edge ever since you showed up, if his little display earlier wasn’t enough. I’ve been watching you ever since.”

Striker slowly stood up but Blitz wasn’t letting his guard down. “Huh. Now you seem disappointed in me.” Blintz snorted, “No shit, you fuck stain. I’m not a fan of someone pointing a weapon at my family.” Striker didn’t seem to get how fucked he was and continued to try and win Blitz over.

“Come on, you know the two of us are superior than most of our kind and you were so above sucking on a disgusting rich pompous Geotia. Only to sneak topside for scarps and work for bitter sinners, who could care less who you are when you could be slaying Overlords.” Striker moved forward and Blitz played along. “Why struggle to run a business that’s rigged against you? When you could partner up with me and kill the unkillable, starting with the one that treats you like a plaything.”

Had this been any other time or place, then Blitz might have actually considered this and it would have affected his mind. Had he not found Hadrian that night, his life may have gone a different route towards self-destruction. Blitz liked the here and now, the fact that he had a family made up of chaotic fucks just like him and he wasn’t going to let this daddyfucker ruin that!

“We could be the most dangerous beings in Hell, Blitz.” Said imp leaned away from the wall just enough to see over Strikers shoulder. “Wow, that was a good fucking pitch.” Striker smirked, “Been work shopping it.”

Blitz looked Striker right in the eye. “Go fuck yourself!” The sound of a gun cocking attracted Striker’s attention. Standing behind him was Moxxie holding the rifle. “About fucking time, Mox!” In a quick motion Striker grabbed the hand Blitz had the gun in and forced him to fire at Moxxie. There was a brief struggle and Striker threw Blitz at Moxxie, forcing him to drop the rifle.

“You dumb-fucks lost the upper hand fast, huh?” Blitz laughed, knowing that Striker was forgetting one thing. “HA! You seem to have forgotten something, Fucko! KORA!” Striker didn’t have enough time to react before the basilisk came through the door and tackled him to the ground. They struggled for a bit while Blitz grabbed the rifle off the floor and pointed it towards the two. “KORA, RELEASE!”

When she did, Striker managed to stab Kora in the eye, giving the imp time to escape. Blitz rushed to the thrashing basilisk, trying to see the damage. “FUCK, KORA HOLD STILL! MOXXIE CALL HADRIAN!”

Hadrian was enjoying the show when his phone started ringing. “Hey, Mox, what’s up?” The teens eyes blew wide, “What the fuck do you mean Kora was stabbed?! Uncle Stolas, I need to get to the farm house, something happened with Kora.” He didn’t wait for a response as he jumped off stage and ran through the crowd.

Cast-iron_Chef: NO IT FUCKING DOES NOT! I WANT YOU NOWHERE NEAR MY KID! I’LL DIE BEFORE I LET SOMEONE TAKE HIS INNOCENCE! IT’S BAD ENOUGH THAT VOXWAZRSDEGJIHLOGUIYFTUDRSEXY

The_End: It would appear that Stolas got in

Octopi: I can hear them from my room. There not going to kill each other are they?

Octopi: *They’re

Magic_Cutie: No, I imagine it’s much like when Vox attacks Angel. I just saw Loona run past the library, so I imagen there’ll be a video soon. Oh, there goes Mom

Magic_Cutie: Elliot’s probably right. Judging from the video they’re near the kitchen. Yup, their he is

Magic_Cutie: *there

SpiderQueen: Where’d he send them?

The_End: Hopefully not the cellar. Someone accidently enchanted some marshmallows a while back and I was put in charge of them. So, I just threw them down into the cellar. They’ve killed all the mice and have started worshipping The Cactus

Magic_Cutie: No, he put them out back. We’re watching them from the windows

I.T._Support: Are we just going to ignore what Elliot said?

Magic_Cutie: Hades is now chasing them around the yard

I.T._Support: I’ll take that as a yes

The_End: It would appear that they are now stuck up a tree. Does Briar plan on aiding them?

Magic_Cutie: No, she’s been teaching Hades how to do this ever since we got home. Briar’s chased multiple demons off the property so far since we moved in. The ones that do get in, Kreacher takes care of. Briar’s rather fond of the meat

Octopi: I can see them from my room. I think dad has forgotten he has magic

TheEmpress: He’ll remember eventually, so it’s fine

Chapter Text

Flashes of light and sound flooded his senses with pain. He couldn’t breathe or figure out where he was. There was black goo all around him and it was sucking him in. He could hear someone calling out to him but the goo was too thick. “Help…” Hadrian tried to reach out for anything to grab onto but all he grasped was thin air.

“Help…” The goo was slowly swallowing him whole. “Dad, help…” He couldn’t breathe, “Dad…”

“Dad…”

“DADDY!”

Blitz slammed Hadrian’s door open with Loona right behind him. Aiming his gun around, he tried to spot any intruder but found none. Hadrian was panting on the bed, his eyes far off and not seeing them. Loona got to the bed first and gently took his hand. “Munchkin, can you hear me?” She didn’t get a response, “Dad?”

The imp put his gun down and rushed over to join them. “Baby Boy, can ya look at daddy please?” He gently lifted the teens face so they were looking at each other. “Hady, come back ta us.” It took a few minutes but Hadrian’s eyes slowly came back to life. “Daddy? Loo-Loo?”

They both smiled and Blitz pulled Hadrian to him. “It’s ok, Baby Boy. We’re here, so just take your time.” The teen pulled him close and sobbed into his chest. This must have been a really bad vision for him to react like this. Blitz grabbed Hadrian’s phone from his night stand.

Magic_Cutie is online

Magic_Cutie: Hey @SongBird I know it’s late but Hady just had a really bad vision. I.M.P. has a couple of jobs tomorrow and I don’t feel right bringing him to the office. Can he hang out with you three tomorrow? I don’t imagine he’ll do much but I don’t want to leave him home alone, even if Kreacher is here with him

SongBird is online

SongBird: Don’t worry, Blitz and of course he can! I’ll let Octavia and Hedwig know in the morning. Give Hadrian my love

Magic_Cutie: Will do and thanks Stols

The next morning Hadrian was rather lethargic and didn’t say much. He didn’t eat much and didn’t react when they pulled up outside of the palace. Hedwig and Stolas were waiting for them. “Hello, Chick.” The white owl gently pulled him from the van and held him close. “Don’t worry, Blitz. We’ll look after him while you’re at work.” Stolas said with a small smile. The imp nodded and handed him a list. “I’m sure Hedwig knows about some of those but it’s a list of things that help Hadrian calm down from a bad vision.” Stolas’ smile slipped a little, “Has he said anything?” Blitz shook his head, “No, but it was bad Stolas. I could hear him screamin from my room and it gave me a heart attack. Just, please keep an eye on him. Odds are he’ll start drawing like he normally does.”

Stolas nodded and took the list and bag from Loona who was in the passenger seat. “I shall call you if something happens.” The two nodded before pulling out of the driveway.

Hadrian could still feel the goo on his skin, even after taking a long hot shower. He could feel Via sitting next to him but he couldn’t bring himself to speak. Thankfully, she didn’t seem to mind and was more than happy to draw with him. Uncle Stolas was softly humming to himself and Hadrian apricated not sitting in complete silence. His mom was seated on the other side of him reading and running her talons through the teen’s hair.

It had been a few hours since he joined the three owls, thankfully Hedwig scared Stella off to somewhere else, so the teen didn’t have to deal with her. While Hadrian wasn’t fully aware of everything, he still apricated them for helping him. As he was about to drift off, a sudden vision hit him and his hand automatically moved over a fresh page.

He could hear his mom talking but it was more like white noise then words. It felt like forever before Hadrian’s hand stopped but it had only been twenty minutes. Depicted on the paper was a black and white image of Moxxie and Blitz being held in a room with two humans looking at them. Suffice to say, Hadrian didn’t take it well.

Blitz was regretting getting out of bed this morning. Not only was he and Moxxie kidnapped by humans, they were then exposed to truth gas and both had a really bad trip. Now he was fighting off multiple humans from the agency D.H.O.R.K.S. with Moxxie as well as Millie and Loona who had come to rescue them.

The imp still wasn’t sure how these fuckers knew who they were, seeing as they got their human disguises perfected. The main problem now was getting the fuck out. Sure, the blood bath was a good stress reliever but he had a really bad feeling that Hadrian knew about all of this and wasn’t taking it well. “LET’S HURRY THE FUCK UP AND GET OUT OF HERE!” The other three nodded and sped up their killing spree, wanting to get the fuck out as well.

Once they killed everyone, they tried to leave but Agent’s one and two, that had originally kidnapped Blitz and Moxxie, were still alive and locked them all in. Unfortunately, the lights also went red which made reading the grimoire impossible.

“HA! You demons aren’t going anywhere now.” Agent two jeered as she and Agent one pointed guns at them. Suddenly, the shadows behind the four demons grew and changed into a six eyed monstrosity. The TV screens filled with static before falling off the wall. “Who dares threaten those I call family?”

The four demons recognized the voice as the room started to shake. Footsteps appeared on the floor, walking towards the two humans. Suddenly, Agent one was thrown to the floor and Agent two started acting strange as the dead agents raised from the ground. Agent two’s head suddenly turned around to face Agent one. “What’s the matta demon hunter? Never seen a real demon before?”

Blood slowly formed a seal under Agent two and suddenly a black substance spewed from her mouth. Eerie laughter filled the air as Stolas appeared in his true demon form. The two humans were terrified by the demonic black and red owl that screeched in their faces. He looked like he was about to eat them before falling back and changing into his normal form.

He glared at them before turning the red lights off and walking over to the four demons. “Are you four alright?! Hadrian had another vision and it showed you and Moxxie being held prisoner! Hedwig and Octavia are still with him but he is beyond upset.” Blitz winced at this, “Fuck, I thought that might happen. I don’t know how they found out about us!? The only time we went out without our disguises was for the first few jobs and even then, they shouldn’t know what we look like with ‘em!”

Stolas cooed softly as he checked them all for injures. “Lucky for you, most don’t believe the word of the demon obsessed lunatics. They are seen as kooks.” Stolas chuckled at the word. “Kooks, such a silly word. Now, let us all return, I’m sure Hadrian would deeply like to see that you four are all ok.” He then opened a portal right into his study. Hedwig and Octavia were still trying to calm down a now horse sized dragon Hadrian.

Upon seeing the five of them, he tackled all of them and started whining and whimpering. It took them several hours to get him calmed down once more and even then, they all had to spend the night at the palace as Hadrian got upset whenever they tried to leave.

In the end it wasn’t so bad, they had quite the movie marathon.

Hadrian and Loona were hangout in the lobby while they waited for the others to get done. “Hey Loo-Loo? Do you have plans tonight?” The hellhound looked up from her phone, “Tex invited me to a party in Gluttony, why?” He shook his head, “Was going to invite you to came to Pentagram City. Octavia and I are meeting Angel at the hotel he’s been living at for his rehab. I think it’s called Hazbin Hotel? Either way, he wanted to tell us something special in person, plus the Radio Demon is apparently sponsoring the place and I wanted to meet him.”

Loona looked over her phone at him, “You sure that’s a good idea and does dad know?” Hadrian nodded, “He said he was fine with it. I invited him too but I think he’s going to ask Uncle Stolas on a proper date tonight.” She nodded just as her phone went off.

Opening the portal, a tree fell through followed by the three demons though Millie came crawling through like a spider. “YEAH, THAT WAS A FUCK TON OF LUMBERJACKS!” Blitz shouted as he walked into the room. “I’M STILL SO JAZZED!” Millie cheered and she certainly looked it. “Well, you better stay jazzed, babe because guess where I’m taking you tonight?” Moxxie said from his spot still in the tree.

Hadrian perked up, “Oh, are you two celebrating something special that I didn’t know about?” Millie looked at him with a manic grin. “We’re gonna be celebratin a late weddin anniversary. With you missin at the time, it didn’t feel right doin anything over the top.” The teen wilted a little but cheered up when Millie gave him a bear hug.

Moxxie joined the hug, “Since you’re back, I felt like now would be a good time to do something special. I’m taking Millie to Ozzie’s in the Lust Ring!” While the two imps were discussing their plans, Hadrian looked towards his sister and dad. “Mom told me a little bit about that club. Do you think it’s a good idea to let Moxxie go there?”

Blitz seemed to understand what he was getting at. “I agree but Ozzie’s is a couple’s place, so it’s not like I could follow ‘em.” Then Hadrian got an idea, “What if you did? You were going to ask Uncle Stolas on a date tonight, so you two can go to Ozzie’s, keep an eye on the love birds, and have a fun night!” Blitz didn’t look too sure, “Come on! Uncle Stolas will agree if you explain your concerns! Dad, this is the Lust Ring we’re talking about and from what Mom has said about Ozzie’s it’s not really the place to talk about love.”

The imp sighed, seeing his point. “Ok, I’ll keep an eye on the love birds while you and Octavia have fun with Angel.” Hadrian beamed and hugged his dad.

With Hadrian’s mind put at ease, he and Octavia portaled over to the hotel where they were met by Angel and Fat Nuggets. The little piglet squealed happily upon seeing them. “Hey, kitties! Ya ready to have some bitchin fun!?” Hadrian and Octavia hugged the spider happily. “Hady, kid, are ya sure ya wanna meet Al? He’s a… peculiar demon.” Hadrian smiled, “Yes, Angel I’m sure that I’d like to meet him. To be honest, I want to see why he makes Vox have such mixed feelings about him.” The spider sighed in defeat. “Ok, but if anythin happens it’s not my fault. I’m textin the group chat now so it’s in writin.”

The teens laughed as Angel led them into the hotel. The inside was a similar layout to the manor except for the large bar seated off to the left. Maning it was a winged cat sinner that appeared to be asleep. “That’s Husk, Al brought him in. He makes a great cocktail and is pretty nice ta talk too.” They were about to move farther in when a spear was shoved in Angel’s face. Hadrian still had nightmares about the Extermination vision he had, were he saw his dad die. So, he reacted accordingly.

Hadrian shifted to his dragon form and placed Octavia and Angel out of harm’s way. Standing in front of them was a now shell-shocked sinner with gray skin and hair that resembled moth wings.

Hadrian growled lowly and smoke came from his nostrils. “Octavia, work on gettin him ta calm down while I deal with Vaggie.” The owl nodded, “Hady, can you take a deep breath for me? Like how Aunt Hedy taught you?” Glowing green eyes looked at her and then back at the sinner. “No, Hady, look at me not her. Angel is dealing with her right now.” He focused back on her and slowly started taking deep breaths to calm down.

While Octavia was getting Hadrian to calm down, Angel was tearing Vaggie a new one. “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YA?! I FUCKIN TOLD YA THAT I HAD FAMILY COMIN OVER AND YA THREATEN ‘EM!” Vaggie didn’t look so sure of herself at this point. “Well, you didn’t say anything else! How were we supposed to know that they weren’t some client you were lying about!”

Thankfully for Vaggie, Charlie came to the rescue of her girlfriend. “Vaggie, what’s going on?” Angel spoke up before she could. “WHAT’S WRONG IS THIS BITCH STUCK A SPEAR IN MY FACE FOR NO FUCKIN REASON AND UPSET MY LITTLE BROTHER AND COUSIN!” Charlie looked over at the owl demon that was trying to calm down a rather large dragon.

“Angel, I’m sure she didn’t mean to upset them but Vaggie, we’ve talked about you pointing spears at people.” Vaggie had the decency to look ashamed but Angel knew she’d never apologize to him. “Just so ya know, my brother had a vision of an early Extermination when he was six. He watched his father die in it.”

The spider didn’t look back as he walked over to the two. Hadrian had calmed down by this point but instantly attached himself to Angel. “Hey Hady, it’s ok. I promise.” Turning back around the spider found Charlie and Vaggie standing behind him. He didn’t want to make any introductions but it might put Vaggie even more in her place. “Charlie, Vaggie, this is my cousin Princess Octavia of the Ars Goetia and this is my little brother Hadrian, The Master of Death. Octavia, Hadrian, this is Charlie Morningstar and her girlfriend Vagatha. Now, if ya two don’t mind, we’re goin ta the library.”

Angel didn’t let the two say anything and just went up the stairs. He could see Octavia glaring at the two females but couldn’t bring himself to be a reasonable adult. Hadrian was calmly petting Fat Nuggets who was in his arms at the moment. “Sorry about that, Kitties. I knew Vaggie was gonna be a bitch, I just wasn’t expectin her to point a spear at me right off the bat.”

“It’s fine, Angel. Not the first time I’ve seen someone threatened, just wish it hadn’t been you.” Octavia said as she looked around on their way to the library. Hadrian nodded slowly, “Didn’t like remembering but I know she was just trying to do her job… I think.”

Angel sighed, “Vaggie doesn’t trust most demons other than Charlie. Ah! We’re here!” Without fan fair, Angel kicked the doors open, not even gaining a reaction from the only occupant. “Hey, Smiles! I got someone that wants to meet ya!” The redhead looked up at them with his trade mark smile. “Why hello, My Effeminate Fellow! Who might they be?”

Hadrian stared wide eyed at the deer demon. “Angel, you didn’t say he was a wendigo. That might explain why Elliot likes him so much. Normally wendigos are exterminated by the angels before they can make it to hell. Alastor would make the second one to make it down here.”

This intrigued the demon. “Oh, who was the first, My Dear?” Hadrian scrunched up his face in thought. “I can’t remember but I do know that he died many years ago. Elliot had to do it himself because the poor demon had simply gone mad.” Alastor hummed in amusement. Angel blinked slowly, not really sure what was going on but Hadrian wasn’t upset, so he didn’t care. “Smiles, this is my little brother Hadrian and our cousin Octavia. Hady, Via, this is The Radio Demon Alastor.”

Hadrian asked to be put down and offered his hand to Alastor. Said demon got an even wider grin on his face and took it. Two things happened at once; Alastor suddenly looked like he had stuck a fork in a toaster and Hadrian had green magic running over his skin. “What Angel failed to mention is that I’m the Master of Death, so trying to read me won’t work very well.”

Angel looked horrified and wasn’t sure how he was going to escape a pissed off Alastor. But shockingly, the demon started laughing! “HAHAHAHA! Well played, My Dear! You are quite the treat!” Hadrian laughed as well, the green magic slowly fading from his skin. “Elliot mentioned that you use voodoo, yes? I was curious on whether myself and Octavia would be able to use it?”

Alastor laughed once more, seemingly very charmed by the teen. “Well, it would be quite the bit of fun to try now, would it not?” The two teens cheered while Angel was wondering if he had been slipped something.

For the next two hours, Angel babysat three magic nerds. Once Alastor got talking about something he truly enjoyed, it was actually rather entertaining. Most of it went over the spider’s head but he was able to keep up enough to know that Al wasn’t about to teach them anything dangerous… yet.

Hadrian was excelling at the exorcise Alastor had instructed the two on but Octavia was having a little trouble. “Maybe you need to try a different method?” Hadrian questioned as he watched the ball of magic in Octavia’s hands waver in and out. “Hadrian, I do believe you’re right! Octavia, my dear, let’s try a different method for you. Let’s see… AHA!”

Alastor walked Octavia through a different magical control method and she had more success. “WOW!” The teens looked at the magical ball of energy in the owl’s hands. Just then a tiny cyclops, Niffty, rushed in startling them both. Octavia lost control on her magic and it bounced around the room like a ball.

All the demons were ducking out of the way but Hadrian wasn’t fast enough at one point and got hit with it. Once the magical dust cloud disappeared, all the demons rushed to check on Hadrian. Said teen was now six and looked slightly confused. Before anyone could say anything, Vaggie and Charlie rushed into the room. “What is going on up here!?”

Upon hearing someone unknown yelling, Hadrian vanished from the room. Both Angel and Octavia were left in shock. “Blitz is never gonna trust me with you two again.”

Chapter Text

Blitz was pacing back and forth, looking at his phone. “Come on Blitz, you can do this!” The imp went to his contacts and called Stolas before he could chicken out. As soon as the owl picked up, Blitz started speaking. “Hey, Stolas are ya busy tonight?” The imp wanted to start cussing at the lame question but before he could Stolas started speaking. “Why do you ask?”

Taking a deep breath, Blitz bulldozed his way through this. “Moxxie and Millie are going to Ozzie’s for a late anniversary date and Hadrian pointed out some concerns about that. SO, he mentioned that since I was gonna ask you on a date anyway, we could babysit them kind of while enjoying a nice date!”

The imp didn’t hear anything on the other end but seeing as he just word vomited, he didn’t expect an immediate response. However, after a few minutes Blitz was starting to grow concerned. “Stolas?” There was a low whine on the other end before Hedwig answered. “He says yes and will meet you at the club!”

She then hung up and Blitz just stared stupidly at his phone. “Ok then. HAVE FUN AT YOUR PARTY, LOONA!” He didn’t hear a response as he wanted to get to the elevators in time to follow M&M down to Lust. It wasn’t hard to do so, seeing as the married couple was in their own little world. Before long the elevator stopped and everyone filed out. They quickly arrived at the club and of fucking course it was raining. Seeing as he couldn’t enter the club until Stolas arrived, Blitz took shelter out of the rain. About ten minutes later, a portal opened up and Hedwig pushed Stolas through. She waved at them both as it closed.

Compared to Stolas’ attire, Blitz looked like he was simply going to the mall. He rubbed his neck feeling a bit self-conscious. “You look amazing.” Stolas giggled and gently cupped Blitz’s left cheek and kissed the other. “So, shall we go in.” Blitz nodded with a blush still staining his face.

They easily got past the bouncer seeing as Stolas was an Ars Geotia. Once inside they quickly spotted M&M and picked a table that they could still watch them from but not be spotted by them. “So, Blitzy, how has work been?” Blitz was looking through the menu but gave Stolas his attention. “It’s been doing good. Hady’s taken over the books so we’ve got quite the nest egg right now. He’s trying to convince me that we should move to a new building, one that we could own in full one day.”

Stolas smirked, “He hasn’t been letting you buy ponies, has he?” Blitz refused to look at him and buried his face in the menu. The owl laughed and ordered themselves some whisky, knowing that Blitz wasn’t much of a wine drinker. “So, you left Hedwig unsupervised with your soon to be ex?” Stolas laughed, “You saw her through the portal, she was actually giddy over the prospect! Though I believe she just wanted peace from my whining.”

Blitz looked at him, brow raised. “Do you want to explain that?” Stolas coughed into his hand and refused to look at the imp. Before they could say anything else, the lights dimmed and a certain jester appeared on stage. “Ladies and gentlemen! I see some sexy faces around here tonight! Welcome, welcome to Ozzie’s, Lust Ring’s number one place for all kinds of sick twisted fantasies put on display for all you sleaze and sleazettes! The gem joint of Asmodeus himself! Come on give him some love!”

All the demons looked towards the balcony where said sin was standing. Blitz paled upon seeing the other imp and hid behind his menu, “FUCK! I didn’t know he’d be here!” Stolas cooed softly, trying to get the imp to calm down. “Blitz?” Said demon shook his head, “It’s a really long and really painful story. Maybe some other time?” Stolas nodded but did take Blitz’s hand.

“I am the one and only Fizzarolli! Some of you might recognize this dashing clown face from my numerous toy botic replicas across the Rings of hell! Gloriously designed by the big man himself and uh, ribbed for your pleasure tonight! We have a great lineup for you tonight! Verosika Mayday, Wet Dream, and The Squirters but as everyone’s warming up I got a funny one for y’all! Did any of you hear about the batshittery that happened at Loo-Loo Land? Oh yeah, wow! Can I tell you what? I’d sure love to shake the hand of the crazy son of a bitch who decided to burn down that off-brand shithole and then slap a fat supine in it cause I’m very much looking to sue! That robo-me made us more money entertaining those kids then the ones we sell to get you freaks off, if you know what I mean!” Fizzarolli said with a wink.

Some demon in the back spoke up. “I know what you mean! I have four of them!” The imp cringed and whispered into a mic on his collar, “Okay, keep that guy far away from me. So, without wasting any more time, our little opening act is a fresh one! Coming at us is a little imp from the Warth Ring, give it up for Moxxie!”

As the smaller imp came onto the stage, he did the one thing Blitz was afraid he’d do. He started singing a love song. It was going fine until Asmodeus and Fizzarolli started to mock him. They then started showing off and picking on the imp. Blitz couldn’t take it anymore and came to Moxxie defense. “Hey now, I watch those two be gooey all day and can guaranty that they’d make missionary look relatively exciting.”

By standing up, Blitz gained everyone’s attention. “That Blitzo? So, you’re showing your face? Hey everybody this guy’s a total disgrace! Some nerve you got to comment on a relationship! Last I checked, your love life is a pile of shit!” Fizzarolli got right in his face and before either Blitz or Stolas could say anything, Verosika threw her two cents in. “Oh, Blitzo and I used to date.” Blitz growled as she came over and sprawled across the table. “Yeah, and I fuckin dumped ya for a good fuckin reason!”

She ignored him, “A selfish imp in the sheets and just as bad in the streets!” At this point Asmodeus noticed Stolas. “Stolas is that you? My dark lord, how the mighty do fall! You used to have it all! A smoking hot wife, a kid, you had it all! I hope you didn’t give it up so that you and him could get it up!?”

Fizzarolli shoved Blitz back into his seat and as all the eyes landed on the owl, Stolas could feel his old insecurities coming to the surface. He looked at Blitz and moved to hide behind his menu, but then something happened.

A tiny someone landed on the table. “DADDY!”

Everything came to a screeching halt and you could hear a pin drop in the dead silence. Sitting on the table was a six-year-old Hadrian. Everything the two demons were feeling in that moment vanished as they rushed to check the little boy over. “Hadrian, what the fuck are you doing here and why the fuck are you six?!”

The little boy smiled widely, “Allie was showing me and Via how to do voodoo magic and then Niffty came in and scared Via and her magic went around like a bouncy ball and hit me in the face! Then Vaggie and Charlie came in yelling and I got scared and came to you!” Hadrian happily waved his hands around as he explained this all.

“You’re not going to be mad at Via and Angel, are you?” Blitz and Stolas blinked slowly, trying to absorb this all. While they were doing this, Hadrian caught sight of Fizzarolli. “UNCLE FIZZIE! DADDY DOES THIS MEAN YOU GOT TO APOLOGIZE!?” The jester was thrown off by this. “What the fuck?” Hadrian, not catching on, started to talk again.

“UNCLE FIZZIE! DID YOU GET MY BOX!? LOO-LOO HELPED ME MAIL IT TO YOU! She said you might not open it if it was addressed from daddy. So, it’s from me but it has all of daddy’s letters in it! He wrote them all the time when he was sad, so when I was eleven, I asked Loo-Loo to help me send them to you so daddy wouldn’t be sad anymore! But then I got kidnapped and I had to wait until I got home.” Hadrian stared the jester down and was rescued by Blitz. “Hady, what do you mean you sent him daddy’s letters?”

Hadrian’s eyes suddenly turned watery, “Well, I found your letters to Uncle Fizzie and you always looked so sad when you looked through them. You said that you wanted to apologize but didn’t know if he’d listen. So, Loo-Loo helped me send the letters when we moved so that you’d think they got lost in the move. Am I in trouble?” Blitz sighed, having suspected Hadrian of doing something with the letters. “No Hady, your heart was in the right place so daddy’s not mad.”

Everyone still wasn’t sure what was happening but the two parenting demons didn’t care. “I do not believe this is permanent but I would need to check my books.” Stolas said as the child started to play with his fingers. “Fuck, Angel’s probably gonna be calling me in a panic anytime now.” Just then the imp’s phone rang.

“Hey Angel. Wait, stop and take a deep breath. Hadrian’s fine, he’s with us… Yeah just take her home. Hey Stolas, you cool with ‘em having a sleep over at your place?” The owl nodded, “That’s fine, I can imagine they had quite the scare.” Blitz nodded, “He says it’s fine. If ya see the bitch, just duck and ignore her though I imagine that Hedwig has her in hand.” After a few more minutes he hung up.

“I believe we should go now, Blitz.” The imp nodded seeing that Hadrian was in the owl’s arms. Before they could leave though, Hadrian saw Verosika and screamed bloody murder before vanishing again. “HADRIAN?!” Stolas screeched but Blitz didn’t seem too fazed as he knew the kid would go to the highest place within reaching distance of the imp. So, he was most likely on Asmodeus’s shoulder or head.

“THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY KID YOU WHORE!?” The bitch sneered at him, “I didn’t do shit to your brat!” Blitz was about to yell at her again when a certain incident when Hadrian was nine came to mind. They had briefly gotten separated in the mall and thanks to the GPS chip in Hadrian’s shoes, he was able to find him quickly. When he did find the nine-year-old, the little boy was in tears, covered in some kind of drink, and his hands and knees were bleeding.

Hadrian refused to tell him what happened but Blitz always had a suspicion that Verosika was involved. He heard gossip from some of the demons as they left that the whore was in the mall. Blitz moved to lunge at her but Stolas caught him in time. “Blitz, no! She is not worth it!”

While this was going on, Hadrian was hiding on Asmodeus’ right shoulder. The sin didn’t know how to react and Fizzarolli was still dumbstruck. “Hey, kid? What’s your deal?” Teary green eyes looked at the imp. “What do you mean?”

“Well, you called Blitzo daddy and I can tell you right now he’s a piece of…” Before the imp could finish, shadows wrapped around his body and Hadrian started growling. “My daddy is not a piece of shit! He loved me when no one else wanted me! He didn’t treat me like a freak and gave me hugs when I had a bad vision, even when I saw him die in one! You don’t know my daddy!”

The shadows tightened but then suddenly released. “Now Hadrian, we talked about this. It’s not nice to tie up the mental impaired.” Elliot stepped out of the shadows, scaring Asmodeus. “Lord Death, to what do I owe the pleasure?” The sin chuckled nervously as the other got closer. “Oh, I’ve come to collect these three. Angel has been blowing up the family group chat with what happened to Hadrian so I thought I’d come see for myself. Hady, dear, would you please come down?”

Big green eyes looked down at him from under Asmodeus’s fiery mane of hair. “No, not with her here.” He then pointed at Verosika. Elliot sighed, “Asmodeus, kindly pick him up and hand him over. Careful, Blitz once mentioned that Hadrian tends to bite when he doesn’t wish to come down from his hiding spot.” The sin hesitated but did as asked. He gently picked the kid up by the scruff and handed him over. The kid looked up at him with big eyes, “You’re pretty!”

Asmodeus blinked a couple of times, not knowing how to respond in a way that won’t have Death being mad at him. “Thank you?” Hadrian nodded happily and dug for something in his pocket. “I drew this last month but I didn’t know what you looked like!” The kid then held out a folded paper to the sin. He hesitantly took it before gently opening it. His face turned red for a brief second before dying down. “Thank you, Hadrian, was it?” The little boy nodded, not the least bit bothered by the brief display.

“That was very kind of you, Hady. I do believe we should collect your fathers now before Blitz kills the whore. Say goodbye to the morons.” Hadrian waved good bye as Elliot herded the other two demons out of the club. “Oh, and Asmodeus? I’m telling Hedwig that you used Stolas’ ‘marriage’ to bully him.”

Elliot chuckled as he heard the sin make the same noise as a dying cat.

Chapter Text

Upon arriving back at the palace, the two demons spotted Octavia and Angel sitting on the steps. They perked up upon seeing the van and rushed it once it stopped. “Fuck, Blitz! I’m so fuckin sorry!” The imp got out of the driver seat and waved the spider off. “It’s fine, Angel. I knew something was bound to happen sooner or later. Hadrian’s a trouble magnet, just like his dad!”

Stolas got out of the passenger side with Hadrian in his arms; Elliot had left once they reached Pride. The little boy was asleep and the owl had taken multiple pictures to post to the group chat. Octavia was hesitant to step forward, seeing as she was the one to turn Hadrian six. “Starfire, would you like to hold him?” She looked unsure, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. What if I drop him?”

Blitz and Angel walked over and the imp took the boy and handed him to Octavia. “Wouldn’t be the first time some ones dropped him. If it makes ya feel better, he lands on all fours like a cat.” The younger owl was flustered at first but then started to coo when Hadrian nuzzled into her chest. “Why don’t you three go get some rest? Hadrian apparently sleeps like the dead, so if you wish to watch a movie it shouldn’t bother him.”

Angel and Octavia nodded before rushing inside, talking about what to watch. Blitz snickered as they followed the two inside. “Did you ever think that you’d be letting Octavia have a sleepover with ‘Angel Dust the Porn Star’?” Stolas shook his head, “No, I don’t believe so. He’s strangely enough a good influence on her though. They were talking about going to the mall together over the weekend and looking for new dresses. I think they were going to bribe Loona into coming with them.”

The imp laughed, “If they’re going to Stylish Occult, they won’t need to bribe her.” They both laughed as they settled on to the couch in one of the sitting rooms. “So, where’s Hedwig? I figured she would have popped up by now.” Stolas coughed into his hand, “Well, on the way back I informed her of what happened and that we’d be continuing our date at home. I think she went off to terrorize Asmodeus.”

“I’m sensing a story there.” Blitz stated but before Stolas could answer, the imp’s phone started ringing. “Huh, it’s Loona. Hey, sweetie!... Ok, I’ll be right there. Love you, Loony Toony.” Blitz quickly got up and grabbed his keys. “Loona is having a bad time at the party and asked me to come get her. I’ll just come back here and she can join the sleepover. Cool with you?” The owl nodded but looked concerned. “Is she alright?”

Blitz shrugged, “Odds are she got overwhelmed and just wants to come home. Though there is a chance she’ll want to try again once I get there. So, don’t wait up.” The owl bid him goodbye and went to check on the kids; Angel included.

They were watching a bad horror movie, something about a dinosaur pastor, and throwing popcorn at the screen. Stolas chuckled softly and took a picture of them to post on the group chat later. He then went to his room and picked out a random book to read.

Hadrian woke up with a start, not really sure why at first. He got the feeling that one of his favorite people were having a nightmare but looking around, both Angel and Via were sound asleep. Maybe it was Uncle Stolas or daddy? The six-year-old carefully crawled out of bed, waking the two demons in the process, and wandered out of the room. “We should follow him, right?” The owl nodded, “Mom might be back by now and I don’t want her finding him alone.” The two got up and followed the six-year-old towards Stolas’ room.

As they got closer, they could hear yelling. “Ok, up we go kiddo. Don’t want ya gettin stepped on during a grown ass temper tantrum.” Hadrian squeaked as he was suddenly picked up by Angel. “Via, take him and stay behin’ me. Don’t want ya gettin hit.” The owl did as she was told and followed Angel into her father’s room.

“It’s annoying to hear you screeching your silly woes all the time!” Octavia recognized the voice as her mothers and didn’t like it. “Why are you still here? You leave with Via on the weekends but then you stay around the house despite everything. I thought the fact that Hedwig was back would have had you running.”

The three demons peeked out on to the balcony and watched as Stella moved towards Stolas. “I like tormenting you! I want to keep reminding you of what you did. As for your bitch of a sister, I’m sure King Paimon will deal with her before long.” Stolas growled in frustration. “I know what I did! I would feel bad if I hurt you. But we both know, I didn’t do that. You and I were forcibly arranged for one reason. To birth a precautionary heir to the Goetia family. Nothing more!” Stolas sighed, not mentioning the fact that his father was very much terrified of his twin.

“I tried, so many years to make it comfortable for us, to have this family. But it was never enough! The only reason I endured your constant insults and cruelty was for that girl to have a normal life!” Octavia gasped and hid herself in Angel’s back. “I cannot do this anymore! I want you out, now! Should you refuse, I’m quite sure Hedwig will be more than happy to throw you out, preferably through a window.”

Angel wanted to cheer for him but saw Stella clenching her fists. “What do you mean… Out?” Stolas puffed up in frustration, “I mean out! Out of this palace! Out of my life! We are getting the DIVORCE!” The three demons secretly watching could feel the rage pouring off of Stella as she forced Stolas to back away. “How dare you! What do you think the rest of the Goetia family will think?! And Andrealphus!?”

Stella tried to back hand him but the other caught her by the wrist. “I DON’T CARE, WHAT YOUR ARROGANT BROTHER THINKS!! And the only thing the Geotia family wanted from our marriage is already seventeen, so it’s over! I’m done!” Before either demon could say anything else, they heard slow clapping coming from the balcony door. Octavia was still curled into Angel’s side but the arachnid and six-year-old were looking at Stella like she was a pile of shit. “Wow, Stolas! You handled that well! I would’ve shot her personally, but that’s just me.” Angel added with a shrug.

Upon seeing the three, both birds had different reactions. Stella grew enraged and Stolas looked heart broken. “What are you three doing here?” Angel pointed at Hadrian as if that would explain everything, which it did. “The fuck is that whore doing here!? The imp wasn’t enough for you, you embarrassment!?” Before Stolas could say anything, Angel got right into Stella’s face. “Listen here, ya bitch! Stolas is a cinnamon roll and is only an embarrassment to you, ya gold digging whore! This family,” He showed her the very active group chat with a live stream of this very incident still going on, “Loves that goofball and wouldn’t trade him for anything in hell! So, I suggest ya get the fuck out before his real family gets here and I don’t just mean Hedwig!”

“Bit late for that, Angel.” Everyone looked towards the balcony doors and found Elliot, Vox, and Vark. Elliot looked very much unamused but allowed Vox to do most of the talking. “Now, Ms. Stella, you’ve made quite the name for yourself I must say and not in the good way.” The TV Overlord smiled widely and Stella just glared back at him. “You see, it’s my business to know all the juicy gossip, helps me keep up with trends, you see. And amongst the royals, you’re quite the hot gossip; but not for your farce of a marriage.”

Stella didn’t seem to get where this was going but that would change soon. “Apparently, you’re quite the adulteress but not a very good one, it seems. They’re not one-night stands because you want to be discreet but because you’re horrible in bed!” Vox started laughing and ducked when Stella tried to take a swing at him.

Vark bit down on the hem of her dress and tore it slightly. Stella screeched at them and tried to flee, but Elliot stopped her. “Stella, I would suggest you choose your next move very carefully. My Master sees Stolas as family, so should something happen to him and I find out that you were responsible…”
The goose paled and quickly fled the palace.

Angel started laughing his ass off and Vox wasn’t far behind him. They had to lean on one another so that they didn’t fall. “Did you see her face?!” Their laughing soon became contagious as everyone else started laughing too. Stolas was laughing so hard that he was crying. “Sweet Satan, I needed that.”
Elliot was chuckling as well but more because of them then Stella. “Well, with her now gone from the palace, I’ll return to what I was doing. Stolas, should she come back do let me know.” The owl could only nod as Vark was trying to lick his face.

They only stopped laughing when Loona and an obviously drunk Blitz walked in. “Um… do I want to know why you’re all laughing?” Seeing as Octavia was the only one that could breathe, she explained. “Mom was tormenting dad and he finally put his foot down on getting the divorce. Angel started clapping for him and mom didn’t like the fact that Angel was here and called dad an embarrassment. Angel then got in her face and said that dad was a cinnamon roll and that she was a gold-digging whore. Vox and Elliot arrived not long after that and Vox called mom out for her one-night stands and pretty much said she was bad in bed. Vark then tore her dress when she tried to hit Vox and fled after Elliot essentially threatened her. We’ve all been laughing ever since.”

The hellhound nodded slowly and said fuck-it. “Blitz beat Beelzebub at her own drinking game and then promptly married a bowl of cotton-candy.” She then pointed at the bowl still in his hands.

Everyone looked at them silently for a solid minute before laughing once more.

Chapter Text

The next day, Octavia woke up once more but this time she was alone. Vox, Angel, and Vark left early in the morning because the Overlord had something important to talk to the spider about. An hour after they left, Blitz came in to grab Hadrian and Loona so they could head to the I.M.P. office. So now Octavia was happily getting her stuff together so that she could watch a meteor shower with her father tonight! But not just any meteor shower though, this was Azathoth’s Tears!

Hurrying through the halls she went looking for her father. First stop was the kitchen, then his room, followed by his study, before finding him and Aunt Hedy outside. “Yes, I know! It will be there shortly- Of course they’re being careful!”

Peeking outside, she found both adults and most of the staff loading things into a moving van. Her father was on the phone with her mother and Aunt Hedy was encouraging them just to chuck it all in. “Come now, Stolas! The bitch wouldn’t give two fucks about your things why should we give two fucks about hers!?”

“Um… dad, Aunt Hedy, what’s going on?” Hedwig started giggling like mad as she grabbed some random vase and chucked it into the van with a crash. “Apparently, your mother can’t exist somewhere two minutes without the entirety of her possessions before she- What?! NO! I’m not turning her against you!” Hedwig took the phone and shouted into it. “THAT’S MY JOB, YOU GOLD-DIGGING WHORE!” Hedwig started laughing like mad once more before turning to Octavia. “Octopi, can you wait an hour? Though, if I have it my way, it won’t take that long!”

She nodded nervously and rubbed her arm. “This is going to be done before tonight… right?” Hedwig was too busy chucking shit into the van to hear her question or Stolas’ response. “What? Oh, I hardly think so knowing your mother, this will take all weekend. Don’t be gentle with it now! Break whatever you have to, to get it all in there!” Hedwig cheered and started to throwing even more shit into the van but this time with help.

She once more turned to Octavia, “This will now only take half an hour, Sweetie! Just wait in the kitchen and we’ll both be there shortly!” The younger owl still hesitated. “But tonight… we’re supposed to-“ Stolas wasn’t fully listening as Stella was screeching over the phone. “Darling, can we not talk about this now? Your mother is being a real B.I.T.C.H.” Stella heard this and stared yelling again. “Well how was I supposed to know you could spell?! I have never seen you read!” Hedwig stole the phone once more. “Take that, you illiterate fuck!”

While the adults were laughing (Hedwig) and yelling (Stolas), Octavia was left feeling very much unsure of how tonight was going to go. She made her way back to the kitchen like her aunt had said but she slowly grew impatient (it had only been ten minutes) and ran to her room.

She tore her calendar off the wall, today’s date circled with little meteors drawn on it, and grabbed her bag. She then snuck out and went to the I.M.P. office. If Octavia couldn’t see the stars with her father, then she’d just see them alone!

Twenty minutes later, both owls entered the palace once more looking very pleased or at least Hedwig looked it. Stolas slumped into one of the kitchen chairs and banged his head on the table. “Well, that was fun! Where’s Octavia though? I told her to wait in the kitchen for us. Maybe she’s in her room?”

Hedwig made her brother a cup of coffee before making her way to Octavia’s room. “Octopi? Are you in there?” She knocked on the door once more and when she didn’t receive an answer, Hedwig opened the door. The room was empty of the younger owl and her telescope plus calendar were on the floor. Hedwig picked both up and looked at the marked date. “Ah, that would explain it. Though she is far too much like her father. I’ll have to call Blitz had warn him that Octavia is coming for the book.”

As Hedwig made her way back to the kitchen, she heard the phone ring. “Hello, Blitzy! …WHAT?!” The snow owl sighed, “Well, she was a lot faster than I gave her credit for.”

TWENTY MINUTES AGO, AT I.M.P.

Hadrian was laughing his little ass off at Loona’s desk while the hellhound tried to kill their father. “Loona honey… wait just a-“ She charged him with the watercooler. “Loony, please can we talk…” She threw it and hit him in the face. “FUCK! I mean WOOOW! Good throw honey! I-I’m so proud of youuuuuu-“ Loona tackled him and started beating him with a picture frame.

Millie dodged the two and walked over to the couch where Moxxie was sitting. “What’s this all about, Hady?” The six-year-old giggled madly, “Daddy told Loo-Loo about her shot next month. Loo-Loo doesn’t like shots though, not even pretend ones.”

Blitz managed to escape Loona and used the couch M&M were sitting on as a barrier. “Now, Loona. You know it’s not that bad! It’s just one prick and you’re done! I’ll even take you wherever you want after as a treat!” Lonna growled and managed to grab Blitz by the jacket. “I don’t want to get the fucking shot, how about that as a treat!”

“You know I can’t do that, Loony!” Blitz whined sadly, not liking the fact that his daughter was mad at him. Loona growled once more and threw Blitz to the ground before storming over to her desk where Hadrian was still laughing. She poked him in the stomach, “Shut up, ya little Munchkin.”

While the three imps where talking and reassuring Blitz that he was doing the right thing, Octavia came through the door like a ninja. She avoided being spotted by them but as she was moving towards Blitz’ office, Loona and Hadrian saw her.

The hellhound covered Hadrian’s mouth before he could say anything and just let Octavia have her small bit of rebellion. The owl thanked her silently with a nod and continued on her way. Finding the book was easy but then came the problem of using it, something she had never done before. “Take me to see the stars.”

The grimoire reacted to her magic and the portal opened up. The light it made attracted the imps’ attention and they rushed to the office just in time to see Octavia walk through the portal… with Hadrian right behind her. Blitz rushed them but wasn’t fast enough.

Blitz stared in horror for a solid minute before frantically looking for his phone. “FUCK! LOONA, WHERE’S MY PHONE!? HADRIAN WENT THROUGH A PORTAL WITH OCTAVIA!” They heard a crash from the lobby before Loona was standing in the door. “HE DID WHAT!?”

WITH OCTAVIA AND HADRIAN

Octavia blinked slowly because of the sudden light change. Once her vision came back to her, she looked around and found that she had landed on some human in a pink polo shirt; killing him. Quickly getting up, she tried to get her bearings and came face to face with a smiling Hadrian. “HI, VIA!” She rubbed her eyes but nope! It was really Hadrian. “Hady, why are you here?!” The little boy gave her a drawing, showing the young owl sitting sadly on a ledge watching a brightly lit city. “Didn’t want you to be sad and all alone.”

Blinking slowly at the paper, Octavia sighed and picked him up. “You do realize that our dads are going to kill us, right?” Hadrian shook his head and gave her another picture. This one showed Blitz, Stolas, and Hedwig on a live TV set somewhere and it was on fire. “Well, that’s interesting and hopefully Aunt Hedy records it.”

Octavia then looked around, realizing that they were in the Human World somewhere. “So, any ideas of what went wrong?” Hadrian giggled, “You asked to see the stars. So, now we’re in L.A. where the human stars are!” The little boy cheered happily. “Ah, so I wasn’t specific enough, got it. Well, what do you say we waste some time?”

BACK IN HELL

Blitz was on the verge of a panic attack as he quickly found Stolas’ contact and hit call. It felt like an eternity before the bird picked up. “Hello, Blitzy!” “Stolas, now is really not the time! Octavia came by, somehow got the book and used it, walked through a portal with Hadrian following her, and I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHERE THEY ARE!”

Before anything else could be said, Stolas came barreling into the office in his full demon form with a smiling Hedwig behind him. “So, how has your morning been so far?”

TOPSIDE

The two cousins walked down the side walk not really sure what to do with themselves. Octavia still wanted to see the stars but didn’t dare use the book again for fear of messing up once more. She had Hadrian with her as well and didn’t want to risk losing him. “Look, Via! It’s a tour bus!” The owl looked at the bus with some curiosity. “What about it?” Hadrian beamed at her. “We can see how silly rich humans can be! It’ll be fun!” Octavia sighed, but figured it could be funny. “Ok, let’s go laugh at some rich humans.” Hadrian cheered excitedly.

IN HELL

Blitz and Stolas were still freaking out while Hedwig leaned against the wall with M&M and Loona. “You know Stolas did this once?” The three looked at her in surprise. “It was the year before his… ‘marriage’ and he wanted to have a small bit of rebellion. He wasn’t careful enough about his wording and ended up in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. I obviously went after him to keep an eye on my brother. He floundered about for a bit, but eventually found his footing and enjoyed the fun. Thankfully he had his human disguise by that point, though I don’t think the humans would have noticed regardless.”

They all started laughing, drawing the two fathers’ attention. “Hedwig, what is so funny about our children being missing!?” Hedwig calmed down and turned to Loona. “Sweetie, can you catch any scent?” The hellhound sniffed the air and wrinkled her nose. “Well, it reeks of urine and desperation, so… uhuhh, L.A..” Hedwig nodded and opened a portal into an alley.

They all walked through and quickly put on their human disguises. Millie had a dark tan, black hair, and light brown eyes. Moxxie had snow pale skin, platinum blonde hair that looked almost white, and dark blue eyes. Blitz had just as tan skin as Millie but with lighter patches where his scars were, short black hair, and brown eyes and almost looked red.

Loona looked like your typical goth teen with long gray hair, pale skin, and red eyes. Stolas had pale skin, gray hair with a lighter gray streak, and red eyes with his marking’s underneath. Hedwig in her human disguise looked more like Stolas as she too had pale skin, but with white hair that had black tips, and honey-colored eyes.

“Alright people! Let’s make this quick before anyone notices what Octavia and Hadrian really are. Loony, you got a scent yet?” She wrinkled her nose again, looking very much unhappy. “How am I supposed to smell anything in this city?”

Moxxie huffed, “Can’t you even do one thing right?” Loona growled at the imp before grinning. “Can’t YOU finally do something about how fat you are?” Moxxie glared at her but walked right into it. “I’m NOT!” Blitz snickered and added to the teasing, “You know, it wouldn’t kill ya to put a salad in your body every now and then.” Moxxie looked stunned as Hedwig tried to stop herself from laughing. “What…? But I’m not fat!”

Blitz chuckled and jumped up on a nearby dumpster. “Ok, magic users, can you track the kids?” Both owls sighed and shook their heads. “Sorry, Blitz. Our magic is rather limited in the Human World without the grimoire as a conduit.” Everything Stolas said went right over Blitz’ head. “What, you can’t memorize your fuckin’ spells?” Stolas glared at him while Hedwig laughed. “One, that’s not what I said and two, your memory’s so great?” He then pointed at Moxxie, “What’s his phone number??”

While Blitz could remember some of the family’s phone numbers, Moxxie’s was not one of them. “Fuck you…” Stolas smirked triumphantly at the imp. “Exactly.” The owl then walked off like a smug ass bitch.

Loona walked over to Hedwig, “Did they just mention phones and conveniently forget that both Octavia and Hadrian have one?” Hedwig snickered, “Yes, but you are to say nothing! I want to see what trouble those two chuckle fucks can get into.” Loona smirked and mimed zipping her lips.

Once on the street, Stolas got distracted by a pair of bright red sunglasses, which looked good on him. Hedwig even found a similar pair that matched her own eyes. What none of them noticed was that Moxxie ran into a human trying to sell his own demo cd. With them losing Moxxie to his inner theater kid, they also lost Millie who tried to be her husband’s voice of reason but failed, hard.

WITH OCTAVIA AND HADRIAN

So far, the tour had been rather entertaining! They saw two arrests, four attempted burglaries, five successful burglaries, ten stalkers, and now a divorce! “And to your left, you’ll see the home of one of those influencers! Who think they’re hot shit because now they do TV shows!” The cousins laughed at the man begging his wife to stay but she got into a limo with their kid and drove off. Once the limo was out of sight, the man started kissing the guy he got caught cheating with.

WITH THE CHUCKLE FUCKS

Blitz somehow managed to get himself vomited on (the human responsible was now dead), so they had to stop somewhere so he could get changed. Luckily, there was a costume shop not far from them. Blitz quickly went in, found something, and then came back out in a pink polo shirt and jeans. That’s when the fuckery started. “Look everyone! It’s Hollywood star, Brennon Ragers!!!”

Hedwig started laughing as she pointed out a billboard above them. The other three looked up and saw a brown haired, tanned guy with a smile looking back at them. The only thing the man and Blitz had in coming was the skin color and polo shirt. Suddenly, Blitz was mobbed by humans and the other three could do nothing about it. The imp managed to get free slightly, “MILLIE! Where are you and your whore bag husband?!”

Stolas was trying to get to Blitz while Loona was recording the madness for the group chat. At some point during the chaos, a TV crew van pulled up and got the crowd to back up. “Mr. Ragers, we’ve been looking for you everywhere! You were supposed to be on set an hour ago!” Blitz looked at the short blond guy like he was an idiot. “The fuck are you talking about?” Two guys in black picked the imp up, much to his annoyance. “Your guest spot on, Sweetie I’m in the House! We’re taping tonight, now hurry up and get in the car.”

“OH! No no no no no! I’m not going anywhere with you! Jizz Biscuit!” The blond guy looked at him, “Very funny Mr. Ragers… Now get in the carrr. Pspspspspsps- come on boy, come on.” The dick then started waving a fruit snack in Blitz’ face like he was a dog. “Get your fucking hands off me!!” The humans let him go for a minute but then one of them held him over their head. “LOONA! STOLAS! HEDWIG! A little help here??” Hedwig got a manic grin on her face and grab Stolas by the wrist. “We’re Mr. Ragers’ agents! I insist that we come with to represent him properly!” The other human got behind them and chucked them into the back of the van as well.

Blitz tried to escape but the doors were slammed in his face. Stolas was glaring at his sister. “Hedwig, we don’t have time for this! Via and Hadrian could be anywhere! They could be in danger!” The other just smiled at him as Blitz crashed his head through the door window. Looking around, he quickly spotted Loona trying to get through the crowd of humans. “LOONY!! Go find Via and your brother! We’ll catch up soon!” Hedwig then pushed him out of the way. “Don’t worry! I’ll record everything!”

Loona grinned and gave her a thumbs up before making her way once more through the crowd.

WITH OCTAVIA AND HADRIAN

With the tour now over, the cousins decided to just wander around and see the sights. They didn’t go far before Hadrian pointed out a really cool shop sign. “Via! It looks like mom!” The owl turned to the sign and could admit that it did look a bit like Aunt Hedy. The background showed a stary sky with a full moon with a white owl that had magical blue eyes holding a skull.

The shop was called Star Owl Souvenir Shop. “We should go in!” Octavia raised a brow, “Hady, we don’t have human money.” The little boy then pulled out a Grinngotts Black Card. It allowed holders to make purchases in both Hell and the Human World. “Do I want to know how you have one of those?” Hadrian smiled happily, “The goblins like me!” The owl nodded, seeing that it made a lot of sense.

“Let’s get some souvenirs then but first let’s take a picture with the sign.” Hadrian nodded happily and faced the camera.

WITH LOONA

The hellhound wasn’t too worried as she had opened her Sinstagram and checked Via’s account. So far, the two had had quite the bit of fun and Loona didn’t see any reason to intervene just yet. As she was walking away from a coffee shop, she spotted a sign that looked familiar.

Looking back through Octavia’s feed, she found a picture of the owl and Hadrian smiling in front of it with the caption ‘going souvenir shopping!’. Loona figured that she might as well try to find them then, seeing as the post wasn’t made that long ago so it meant they were close. Looking through Via’s recent posts, she started going from location to location but always seemed to be just a couple minutes behind them. Finally, she caught up to them at an observatory. It took a couple of minutes to find them since the place was huge but she eventually did.

Shifting back to her normal form, she carefully swept both of them into a hug. “I very much remember saying that I don’t like playing Where’s Waldo.” The two younger demons squeaked before happily laughing. “Told you that Loo-Loo would find us!” The owl nodded, “You were right, Hady.”

Octavia looked over Loona’s shoulder but didn’t see the rest of the family. “Where’s everyone else?” Loona groaned and sat Hadrian on her lap. “M&M fucked off to who knows where not long after we got here. As for Stolas, Hedwig, and Blitz, they got kidnapped by some TV show. Fuck, I hope Hedwig’s recording it.” The owl handed Loona the same picture Hadrian had showed her involving the three demons. The hellhound whined, “FUCK! I wish I’d gone with them now!”

“So, did you two have fun being rebels?” Hadrian nodded happily but Octavia sighed. “I suppose I did have some fun hanging out with just Hadrian. But I had really wanted to see the meteor shower and all I got was this.” She motioned towards the heavily clouded sky. “Yeah, smog’s a bitch. But hey, once the chuckle fucks get here, I’m sure you’ll still have time to see them.”

Octavia perked up a little at that. “Maybe you’re right… Are they mad at us?” Loona snorted, “No. Blitz and Stolas are worried and Hedwig said that you’re just like your dad when he was your age. He apparently ran off to the Human World too.” The owl looked at her like she had grown a second head. “You’re lying.” “Nope!”

Hadrian yawned and started rubbing his eyes causing both girls to coo. “Looks like it’s getting pretty late. Why don’t we go find the ‘adults’.” Loona added with a chuckle as she pulled Hadrian to her chest. Octavia handed her the grimoire and the hellhound opened a portal up in front of their dads and Hedwig. All three were slightly covered in soot and Hedwig looked very pleased with herself. “Hey, kiddos!”

Both fathers quickly turned to look at them. “LOONA! HADRIAN! OCTAVIA! Oh, my sweet babies! Are you three ok!?” Blitz tried to hug Loona but she didn’t want him waking Hadrian up, so she kicked him in the dick. The imp went down hard and Loona was rather pleased with herself. Stolas took the hint and hugged Octavia, shifting back as he did. “Dad… I’m so sorry…” The older owl sighed, “I’m just relieved that you two are ok!! But what would possess you to do such a thing? You know I haven’t taught you spells like this yet.”

Octavia curled in on herself slightly, “I just wanted to see the stars you promised.” Stolas looked confused for a moment before it all clicked. “Azathoth’s tears! Oh no! Oh my dear sweet Via, I am so-“ He was cut off by Octavia hugging him. “I know dad, it’s ok.” The touching moment was ruined by Hedwig laughing as fireworks came out of a burning TV Station. “Hey, Stolas! Does this seem familiar?!” The gray owl’s face went beet red, “SHUT UP, HEDY! IT WAS ONE TIME!”

The white owl just kept laughing to the point where she fell to the ground holding her sides. “You were so embarrassed when I came to get you!” Hedwig didn’t have time to react before Stolas was attacking her. The two owls rolled around screeching while the other three watched them. “Hey, Blitz? Where are M&M?” The imp looked at Octavia then slapped his forehead. “FUCK, I KNEW WE WERE FORGETTING SOMETHING!”

TheEmpress: (Attached Video)

The video showed a human Blitz on a TV set telling really bad jokes before panning over to a human Stolas who was fanning himself and chugging water like his life depended on it. This was how the video went until the end where Blitz lost his shit and started fighting people. During this, the studio caught fire and that’s where the video ends with Hedwig’s maniacal laughter in the background.

SpiderQueen: WHY THE FUCK DOES ALL THE FUN SHIT HAPPEN WHEN I CAN’T BE THERE!?!?!!?!?

I.T._Support: Blitz is actually rather funny in a crud way

Jigsaw: MOXXIE! LOOK WHAT YOU MADE US MISS!

Theater_Kid: But Millie those artists needed to be recognized for their talents!

Theater_Kid has been muted for one hour

Jigsaw: Who muted Moxxie? Fuss up!

Cast-iron_Chef: I’d love to take credit but Hadrian won’t give me admin privileges again after what I did last time

SpiderQueen: I mean, you changed everyone’s names to office supplies?

FullMooned: They’re the names he uses for his ponies but the point still stands

Octopi: Does anyone other than Hadrian and Aunt Hedy have admin privileges?

TheEmpress: I don’t know. I’m surprised that I still have them to be honest but I didn’t mute Mox

Jigsaw: Vox, you’re being rather quiet

I.T._Support: I TOOK HIS PHONE! VOX HAS ADMINAZSXDCGFNJKM,P

Cast-iron_Chef: WHY DOES HE GET ADMIN?!

The_End is online

The_End: I believe his name answers that. Also why were you all in L.A.?

I.T._Support: FUCK ANGEL’S FAST! I’m sorry, Millie but I couldn’t stand listening to another rant about art today! I got enough of that at work!

Jigsaw: I guess it’s fine. Moxxie can get a bit too passionate at times

TheEmpress: Octavia proved that she was like her father and had a bit of rebellion. She wanted to see the Azathoth’s Tear meteor shower but ended up in L.A. with Hadrian in toe; not that she knew this. We all went looking for them and lost M&M not long into the search. Then Blitz got mistaken for a celebrity that Octavia accidentally killed and he, Stolas, and I were then kidnapped by the TV station that the celeb was supposed to be at. That’s where the video came from. Loona eventually found the two rebels and we all came home after seeing the meteor shower anyway, the end!

SpiderQueen: Went to L.A. once while I was still alive, was rather nice back then. All the ‘old Hollywood’ glamour that you just don’t see now a days. OH! I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU ALL! I’M FINALLY FREE FROM THE ROACH!

Jigsaw: FUCK YEAH! MOXXIE SAYS SO TOO!

Cast-iron_Chef: ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

TheEmpress: REVENGE CAN FINALLY BE MINE! THE MOTH SHALL DIE!

Octopi: THAT’S GREAT, ANGEL!

SongBird: THAT’S WONDERFUL, ANGEL!

FullMooned: FUCK YEAH! I SAY WE SET HIS STUPID STUDIO ON FIRE! Also, I just told Hady and he’s now crying

SpiderQueen: NO, MY BABY!

I.T._Support: Angel just ran from the tower so expect him at the manor soon. It did take forever to find a loophole and without Elliot’s help I don’t think that I would have been able to pull it off

SongBird: How did you do it and does Angel need protection?

Cast-iron_Chef: If the roach comes after him, I got a blessed tipped rifle with his name on it!

I.T._Support: That won’t be needed. As for what we did, with Angel being part of this family, that power backing alone could make him an Overlord. Lucifer strictly forbids Overlords from working for other Overlords. We can work together but with Angel being an Overlord, he could no longer work for The Roach. Angel also fell under Hadrian’s protection. These two things made the contract void so Elliot came with me to the studio as proof. Plus, I really didn’t want to face him alone. He had already broken my screen five times in that week alone. Obviously, The Roach didn’t take it well but he was too afraid to do anything with Elliot in the room. We escorted Angel out and The Roach can’t use him as a figure head anymore

The_End: I took video if anyone is interested?

Chapter Text

It had been about a week and half since Octavia and Hadrian’s little misadventure and the six-year-old was now seventeen again. The teen had also been agitated for the last couple of days and only Blitz seemed to know why. But no matter who asked, the imp kept his trap shut, not even Loona knew.

It was one of those mornings, that Blitz and Hadrian were in the imp’s office while Loona and Moxxie were in the meeting room. The hellhound was scrolling through her phone while texting Octavia off and on, while Moxxie was wondering where Millie was. Moxxie would later come to regret opening his mouth but he couldn’t stand the silence. “Ya know! I checked the scale today and it said I lost two pounds this week!”

Loona looked him up and down with a smirk but said nothing before going back to her phone. Moxxie glared at her, “I am not FAT!” Just then, Millie kicked the door open and started mumbling curses and threats as she grabbed a target and tore it to pieces; both with weapons and barehanded. “Millie honey, everything ok?” She fucking turned and hissed at him like a feral raccoon before calming down slightly. “Yeah… just…bumped into an ex.” She added with a hiss. Moxxie blinked stupidly for a second. “Ohh…”

“He just kept going on about how he has money now AND a bright future AND a bigger cock!!” Millie continued ranting, completely ignoring Moxxie. “Every time I see his stupid face I can’t help but just need to… AHHHH!” She then punched the filing cabinet by the door. One of the drawers popped open and pictures scattered on the floor.

Blitz then walked into the room with his hand over his phone. “What the FUCK is all this noise?! I got a client!” Moxxie quickly moved to clean the mess up. “Sorry Sir, I’ll get this all cleaned-“ He paused upon seeing the pictures and what looked like magazine cut outs. Most of the pictures were of the family or of family members but a good portion of them were of Stolas on varies dates with the taller imp. The magazine cut outs were of dating spots and things a partner would enjoy in bed. “What is this?” Blitz turned bright red and grabbed the photos and cut outs from the imp. “Uhh… Research… Just gimme that!”

The taller imp grabbed everything and fled back to his office. “Ok, so let me get this straight, you don’t want us going to Earth at all for this job?” Hadrian could hear the client from where he was standing. “Correct. That will not be necessary. I’d like to meet you and your whole crew at my estate.” Blitz looked at the teen, waiting for his approval. Hadrian nodded, so Blitz carried on. “Uhh, you want us killing someone in Hell ‘cause I gotta tell ya that ain’t exactly our business no more.”

“I’ll tell ya all about it when ya here, it’s in regards to a business venture I’m sure will be very worth your time.” Blitz rolled his eyes but kept playing his part. “OOOO, how ominous. Fine, whatever, what’s the address?” “Transportation has already been taken care of.” Just then a helicopter flew by the office window, surprising Blitz briefly and causing Hadrian to growl. The imp hung up the phone and looked at his son. “You sure about this, Hady?” The teen viciously shook his head, “FUCK! I don’t want him to go through this but Crimson’s just going to become a bigger pain in the ass then he already is if we don’t play the game.”

Blitz sighed and pulled Hadrian into a hug. “It’ll be ok. This guy doesn’t know that we know his plans for Moxxie. Like ya said, we play the game and learn his tells and how he plays so we can deal with him. Moxxie’s not going to be on his own in this, kiddo.” Hadrian sighed into the hug before letting Blitz pull him to the meeting room where the helicopter was heading. As the two entered, the far wall was pulled out. “Satan’s ass crack! Enough with the walls! We have a door!” A bridge extended from the helicopter and the pilot stepped out. “I.M.P., right this way, pleeaassee.” Hadrian growled once more while everyone else looked confused. “Uhh Sir… what’s going on??” Moxxie was looking between Blitz and Hadrian. The taller imp started scratching the base of the teen’s horns, trying to calm him down once more. “Oh, no worries, just some fancy shmuck from Greed wanting to do business with us.”

Blitz jumped up onto the bridge with Hadrian right behind him. The other two hesitated slightly but eventually followed them. “Uhh Sir, I don’t think this is a good idea.” The taller imp looked between Moxxie and Hadrian before looking back at the imp. “It’ll be fine. Now get your asses moving.” Blitz then pushed the two imps into the helicopter before following Hadrian in.

Millie went to buckle up but the seat belt wasn’t even attached. “Is this thing safe?” The two pilots chuckled, “Don’t worry, we are professionals!” They then took off, ripping more of the wall out. “Don’t worry, Millie. Should these idiots crash, I’ll get us out.” Hadrian reassured her.

The rest of the flight was rather tense as Hadrian growled and Blitz tried to keep him calm but it only got worse the deeper they got into Greed. “I hate this place.” Moxxie said as he stuck his tongue out. Blitz took a deep breath and grabbed Hadrian’s hand as he got Moxxie’s attention. “Mox, do you trust me?” The shorter imp looked at him in confusion but did nod. “Of course I do, Sir.”

The taller imp nodded, “No matter what happens, I need you to remember that.” Moxxie looked between the father-son duo as realization flashed through his eyes. “Sir…” Before anyone could say anything else, the helicopter landed right in front of a fancy looking manor. Moxxie swallowed heavily as he spotted his father waiting for them.

Blitz cracked his neck before putting on a fake smile as the pilots opened the doors. He was the first one out followed by Hadrian who had Moxxie stay close to him as Millie watched on. “Thereee heee isss! There’s my boy! Get over here and give ya daddy a hug!” Hadrian bit back a growl but his tail whipped through the air in clear aggravation. Blitz, playing his part as the fool, looked at Moxxie in surprise as did Millie. “Daddy?” They said together.

“I only let Moxxie call me that… Unless, ya pay me!” The imp started laughing as he walked towards them. Moxxie nervously cleared his throat. “This is my father, Crimson. Sir, this is my boss Blitz, his son Hadrian, and my-“ Millie cut him off and thrust her hand out. “Millie! I’m his wife!” Crimson looked shocked for a quick second before covering it up. “And what a beautiful wife you are.” He kissed the back of her hand. “Mox, where you been hiding this pretty little thang?”

Moxxie looked really uncomfortable as Millie continued to speak with the older imp but Hadrian’s hand on his back was grounding. “Oh, I’m sure he would’ve introduced us eventually.” Crimson looked amused, “Oh, I’m sure.” He then changed his focus to Blitz. “You gotta be Blitz with the silent O, right?” Crimson wrapped his arm around Blitz’ shoulder. “I’ve heard a lot of good things about you and your work.” Blitz raised a brow at him. “Really? What kind of shit has Moxxie been spreading about me? I’ll fucking kill you Moxxie- don’t you FUCKING test me!” The outburst threw Crimson off but he quickly recovered. “No! No! From all over! Looks like you’re building a bit of a name for yourself, ya kid.”

Blitz really wanted to roll his eyes but fought it down. “Really? Huh, well I guess it’s about time folks recognize my talent.” Crimson started laughing once more. “I like your attitude! Well, I hope you’re all hungry, we put together a FABULOUS dinner for ya.” The imp started walking back towards the house with Blitz and Hadrian walking behind so that Moxxie and Millie could have some privacy to talk. “Kiddo, I’m now very thankful that you made Kora, Briar, and Hades stay home.” The teen nodded as he glared holes into Crimson’s head.

Once everyone was seated inside, Crimson poured Blitz a drink. “So, Blitz? You always been a hitman?” He shook his head as he accepted the drink. “Oh no, not always. I was in the circus for a long time.” Crimson shot him finger guns. “Show business, good money in that.” Blitz forced a chuckle and placed his hand on the small of Hadrian’s back to keep him from skinning the mob boss alive.

As the room lapsed into an awkward silence, Moxxie spoke up. “What are we doing here, Sir…” This was directed at Crimson. “Moooooxxieeee. I raised you better than that. Ya know there’s no business before dinner. Besides, we’re still waitin’ on one more.” Just then the door burst open and a douche bag looking shark came in like he owned the place. “WOOHOO! What is up party people!?!”

Both Millie and Moxxie looked horrified and spoke as one. “CHAZ!! WAIT… WHAT??” Moxxie pointed at Millie. “You KNOW him?” Millie growled in frustration. “ARGHH! You remember that ex I was talking about?” Chaz came up behind them on the couch. “Looks like I have two big SEX reunions today! How lucky am I???” Millie suddenly looked at Moxxie in realization. “Did you date him too?” Chaz answered for him. “Heh yeah… No big deal but I usually Bone half the people in any room I’m in.”

When Blitz opened his mouth, there was no acting just genuine disgust; not at the couple, but at Chaz. “Are you fucking kidding me?! There is someone who has fucked BOTH of you??” Moxxie looked ill but Chaz wouldn’t shut the fuck up and Hadrian was close to attacking him. “I still remember it like it was yesterday… You a fledgling Mafioso, ME the dashing and extremely sexy muscle! It was like it Was Written in the Stars!” Blitz put on the act once more, “HAH! Moxxie in the Mafia, that’s fuckin’ rich.” Then he looked around as if he was seeing all the obvious signs for the first time and Hadrian had to bite back a laugh. “Ohhh shit…”

“You’ve never told me this before.” Moxxie looked really uncomfortable and refused to look at Millie. “I don’t really like to talk about this part of my life, but…” The younger imp went into detail about how he met Chaz. Hadrian taped out, knowing some of this from his previous visions of Moxxie.

Hadrian tuned back in just in time to see Millie trying to take Chaz’s head off. “I’ll fucking KILL YOU!!” The teen started recording her feral ass to share with the family later. Chaz hid behind Crimson’s chair and Blitz put Millie in air jail. Just then the maid came in to announce that dinner was done. The four from I.M.P. sat near the doors, while Crimson sat at the head of the table with Chaz seated to his left. Hadrian was sitting on the right, between Moxxie and Blitz so that Millie could have full line of sight on Chaz. “Sooo, this is aggressively uncomfortable.”

“I suppose you wanna know why ya here?” Blitz looked at him like it was obvious. “Yeah, so what gives? Ehh I mean… ya know we kill people on Earth, right? We don’t normally do contracts for locals… So, if you wanna do business with us… you gotta-“ Crimson cut him off. “I don’t wanna do business with I.M.P., I wanna do business with Moxxie.”

Said imp quickly looked up, “ME?” “Yeah kid. I summoned I.M.P. to be sure you’d show. Because well, we’re bringing Chaz into the family.” Moxxie grew confused and happily gripped Hadrian’s hand under the table. “What?? Since when can just anyone join the family?” Hadrian tightened his grip and Moxxie briefly looked at the father-son duo. “Come one, Mox. You had responsibilities here that I had to pick up once you left. Now Chaz is going to lighten the load.”

Moxxie glared at the two, “Wait, I thought you always hated his guts.” Crimson waved his hand, “Well, I don’t know if I exactly hated him...” The younger imp looked unamused. “You called him a friendless horse fucker and said he lived a “sissy life style”.”

“Yeahhh… well I was wrong. You’ve been gone a long time, Mox. A man can change, and so has Chaz.” The shark opened his mouth again; so long braincells! “Yeahhh I’ve grownnn, maturedd, and recently, came into MILLIONS! But, ya know, mostly the mature thing.” Blitz rolled his eyes, “Ohhh ok ok, so the horseless friend fucker over here gets a little moola and suddenly its worth wasting OUR time over?” Chaz grinned wider, “Well, I’m the whole package! If you know what I mean…” All four of them looked at him like a bug. “I got a big dick.”

“What does any of this have to do with Moxxie?” Millie asked in annoyance as Crimson placed his silverware down. “There’s gonna be a ceremony tomorrow. Moxxie here is going to officially release his holdings in the organization. Then, you can get back to ignoring ya family to ya heart’s content.” Hadrian saw something flash in Millie’s eyes and wanted to stop her but had to stay under the radar as the quiet son of an imp. “Maybe he wouldn’t ignore his family if they didn’t force him to rub elbows with a no good Shark Toothed Fuck Face!” Crimson didn’t want another fight to break out, so intervened. “Hey, look everybody, relax. I know tensions have been high tonight. Say, why don’t ya stay here and get some rest. We’ll have the ceremony tomorrow and then you will be free to leave. I have your rooms all prepared.”

Before they all left, Crimson called out to Moxxie. “A moment, Moxxie.” Hadrian gave him a look and the white-haired imp relaxed, remembering what was said on the helicopter. Once the door shut, Hadrian quickly checked the group chat and showed it to his dad. “That’s helpful but…” He was cut off by hundreds of dildos coming out of the walls and everywhere else. “HAAAA! There’s dicks in the walls, now that’s fucking hilarious!” Hadrian chuckled and took a picture of his delight, before getting him back on track. “Dad, focus.” The imp blinked and shook his head. “Right! It’s helpful but we’ll need actual evidence or Crimson won’t believe us.”

Hadrian eyed Chaz as they went upstairs. “We knock him out and take his keys. I’ll hide within the house to make sure Moxxie stays safe after you and Millie get locked out.” Blitz nodded, “I’ll play the bait, just don’t kill him. Fuck, if he touches me, douse me in bleach!” Hadrian giggled and nodded. “I hear him outside, get ready.”

The imp cracked his neck, opened the door, and found Chaz on the other side. “Hey there good lookin’.” Hadrian mimed gaggling from behind the door. “Oh, I was wondering how long it would take you to make a pass.” “Mmm, does that mean that you’re… Down to Clown??” Blitz thought he might actually be sick but played along. “EW, what the, you think I would violate my friends trust by sleeping with their ex especially one who FUCKED them over the way you did?”

The douche fell for it, hook, line, and fucker! “I’ll show you allll the things they liked in the saaack!” Blitz almost laughed at how easy this was. “Deal!” He then pulled Chaz into the room. Hadrian slammed the door shut and quickly injected the shark in the neck. He went down fast with a thud. “Ok, that should last all night but don’t hold your breath on that, so be fucking fast! I’m going to go hide in Moxxie’s room until the ‘wedding’.” Hadrian looked ill just saying that.

The next morning Blitz wasn’t back, so Hadrian rightfully assumed that Chaz woke up faster than expected and stopped Blitz from getting back in. Was Hadrian happy to watch Moxxie get tased for standing up for himself, no. But now it was the teen’s turn to have some fun!

The backyard was decked out for a wedding with Moxxie as the bride and all tied up. Before the priest could say anything, Hadrian made himself known at the back. “Well, Crimson, I must say that I expected better of you.” The imp looked shocked to see him but quickly recovered. “The hell are ya doin’ here!? Someone grab him!”

A henchman tried, but Hadrian quickly killed him with his scythe. “You see, Crimson. Moxxie is already very much married and very much part of my family. We will be leaving with him, whether you give him to us or we take him. You have ten seconds to decide.” Crimson didn’t seem to get it and his time to decide came to an end when Chaz’ own car came crashing through the wall. Blitz fell out of the driver side and Millie jumped out of the passenger side, looking fucking feral as hell. “If you want my husband, you’re going to have to FUCKING KILL ME!!”

Crimson rolled his eyes and motioned for his men to kill them. While Millie was going on a killing spree, Hadrian calmly walked through the chaos until he was standing in front of Crimson. “You see, Moxxie stopped being your family the day he became mine.” Hadrian smiled sharply and his eyes started to glow. Crimson pulled a gun and pointed it at Hadrian dead on. Moxxie thrashed around looking terrified for the teen. “What’s stopping me from puttin a bullet right through ya skull?”

Hadrian started laughing and it echoed through the sky. “You can try but I doubt you can kill the Master of Death.” Crimson paled as he saw the symbol of Death glowing on the teen’s forehead. “You’re a Mafia Don, so tell me? Is it really wise to make an enemy of me?”

By this point, Millie was ending her killing spree and drove Chaz’ car at them as a fuck you, stopping only inches from the four of them. “Millie dear, please grab Moxxie as I believe Crimson and I have come to an understanding.” The older imp looked away, knowing that this wasn’t a battle he was going to win. Once Millie got Moxxie out of the way, Blitz popped up next to Hadrian with the same symbol on his face. “By the way, ya’ll should probably know, Chaz isn’t even rich, ok? Check his car, he just played you like a fuckin’ rube! LATER LOSERS!”

The four ran from the ‘wedding’ and highjacked the helicopter as one last fuck you to the fuck stains. The flight back felt so much faster and Loona just asked if they had fun. “Oh yeah, totally fun to threaten a bastard that has the nerve to call himself Moxxie’s dad.” Said imp started to chuckle and then full on laugh his ass off. “OH CRUMBS, I never saw him be shut down so fast before! I’m glad you were all there. I don’t even want to think about what could have happened.”

Blitz pulled the three of them into a hug. “This is why we don’t question Hady’s visions. My little boy will tell me and we’d do everything to protect our family!” Loona rolled her eyes but took a picture of them all smiling like fools.

Chapter Text

For the past two weeks, Hadrian had been on edge and there was nothing anyone could do about it. He was having reoccurring visions that made no sense! They changed every time he had them and it was driving the teen mad! Hedwig had recommended he use Dreamless Sleep for a few days, so that Hadrian might actually get some sleep. This seemed to agitate him just as much as the visions did but he was at least not waking up in the middle of the night.

The visions mainly focused around Stolas and the owl had taken them very seriously. He went nowhere without Hedwig or another family member and always messaged the group chat of his location. Was it over kill? Maybe, but it helped ease Hadrian’s already stressed mind.

To add to the chaos, it was the day of Loona’s shot appointment and Stolas had a ‘meeting’ with his ex and her brother. Hedwig went with him which seemed to ease everyone’s minds a little. Hadrian was drawing up a storm in the back of the van as they drove to the hospital. He was trying to piece his visions together in hopes that they’d make sense.

WITH STOLAS AND HEDWIG

The meeting was at a prissy tea shop that Hedwig wanted to burn to the ground but instead chose to piss off Stella. “Well, if it isn’t the Gold-Digging Whore and her closeted brother!” Stella sneered at her while Andrealphus sighed, “Stolas, was it truly necessary to bring her with you.” The owl looked at him like he was an idiot. “You make it sound as though I have control over my sister. Also, you requested this meeting and expected me to honestly come alone so that Stella could verbally abuse me? You must be joking.”

The two owls sat down with Stolas facing Stella and Hedwig facing Andrealphus. They sat there awkwardly as a little imp poured their tea. It was Hedwig that broke the silence first. “Is there a reason for this little meeting or should we just start throwing insults at each other?”

Andrealphus groaned, realizing what the owl was about to do. “We wanted to properly discuss the terms of the divorce. I feel my darling sister deserves a bit more… compensation. After all, your brother did CHEAT on the poor thing. Surely, he owes...” Hedwig cut him off while Stolas watched on in amusement, seeing no reason to stop her. “One, he didn’t sleep with Blitz, so there was no cheating. Two, your whore of a sister slept with ANYONE as long as they were royal and took joy in shoving it in my brother’s face. And three, she tried to have Stolas killed some months ago, what’s stopping me from bringing it to Lilith?”

It was a known fact that Hedwig and Lilith were friends, seeing as the two were very protective of their families and enjoyed fucking with people. Andrealphus seemed to pale but Stella didn’t seem to get it. She slammed her cup on the table and pointed at Hedwig. “Up yours!” The white owl smiled viciously but it died when a familiar looking imp crashed through the shop window.

“STOLAS, GET OUT NOW!” Hedwig charged the imp but still caught the smug ass look on Stella’s face. The owl and imp traded blows before Striker managed to land a lucky shot in her thigh. Hedwig screeched in pain as she had been shot with a blessed bullet and went down hard. With Hedwig out of the way, Striker managed to capture Stolas before he could open a portal. “Oh dear… this is very very bad!”

WITH I.M.P.

Blitz was trying to focus on keeping Loona calm on their way to the hospital when his and Hadrian’s phones started ringing at the same time. “It’s mom!?” The imp cursed when he saw that his was from Stolas. “FUCK, THAT’S NOT GOOD! STOLAS!?”

“Blitz, Striker crashed the meeting and managed to shoot Hedwig! She went down hard and I fear for her!” Blitz took a quick look over his shoulder and heard Hadrian frantically talking on the phone. “She called Hadrian, so don’t worry. Can you tell me where you are or if you can escape!?”

“I’m tied up on the back of his horse with Blessed Rope, so that would be a no on the escaping part. I could really use some assistance.” Blitz growled in frustration as he looked briefly at Loona. “FUCK! I’m on my way to the hospital so Loona can get her Hellbies S.H.O.T.” Loona was looking at him with fear and concern. “Satan damnit!” Blitz started trying to figure out how to get Stolas away from Striker when the very imp took the phone from Stolas. “Don’t worry about your lanky birdy… He’s in good hands.”

Upon hearing the other imps voice, Blitz accidentally broke his phone. “FUCK! Hadrian, how’s Hedwig?” The teen moved up so that he was between M&M. “She’s pissed that Striker managed to shoot her and beyond pissed that she didn’t see the meeting for the setup it was.” Blitz clicked his tongue. “The meeting was in Pride, right?” Hadrian nodded, “Message Vox and Angel about Hedwig and tell them to bring her to the hospital. They have their Ring Passports now, so it shouldn’t be a problem for them.” The teen nodded and quickly opened the family group chat.

While he was doing that, Millie started speaking. “Sir, let me an Moxxie handle this. You focus on Loona.” Blitz looked back at her briefly as he sped through traffic. “Fuck! We don’t have much of a choice! I might regret this but take Hadrian too. He can treat Stolas for any injures while you two take on Striker.”

Moxxie nodded, “We’ve got this, Sir. We’ll make Striker regret ever fucking with our family!” He added with a smile that matched Millie’s. “You three better hurry then. Knowing that prick he’s in Wrath somewhere, Hadrian can open a portal there to cut time.” He left the van running as he pulled Loona out and held her over his head.

The shorter imp nodded and hopped into the driver seat. “Hadrian?” The teen got into the middle seat and opened a portal into Wrath. Moxxie cracked his neck and sped off. “Hady sweetie, you got a spell we can use?” The teen nodded and took a deep breath before concentrating on Stolas’ location. A magic arrow appeared in the teens hand, showing them the direction to follow. “I can feel that they’re underground somewhere, possibly a mine shaft.” Moxxie nodded but they soon had to pull over to get gas. “We know where we’re heading so I’ll get the gas real fast and we can go.” Hadrian and Millie both nodded but the teen was obviously tense. “Hady?” He looked at Millie briefly, but that was long enough for her to see the tears in his eyes. “I’m scared… my visions have never been this chaotic before and it’s scary. Sometimes Striker kills him and other times he doesn’t. Sometimes Striker dies and then he doesn’t! In some you or Moxxie dies and in others you don’t!”

Hadrian was starting to have a panic attack so Millie had him look at her. “Hadrian, focus on me.” When his eyes did, she continued. “Stolas will be fine, Moxxie and I will be fine, and if luck holds, Striker will be dead. That is what you need to focus on.” Hadrian took another deep breath before nodding. “Ok… ok.”

By this point Moxxie was back, having had to kill a couple of bikers because of the hat Mille had given him. “Ready to go save Stolas and kill a prick?!” The other two nodded in excitement.

With Hadrian’s guidance, they found the hide out quickly. They drove down the mine tracks and the van landed with a thud. Striker was crouching over a badly beaten Stolas and looked like he was going to do much more. Hadrian almost went feral upon seeing how beaten his uncle was but followed the plan they had discussed. Millie and Moxxie were out of the van first and got Striker’s attention.

Hadrian silently made his way passed them and quickly got the ropes off. “You so much as try to heal yourself right now, I will tell mom.” Stolas weakly chuckled before coughing up blood. “Shit, that’s not good. You got this Hadrian, it’s no different than when dad got shot in the ass.” The owl looked at him in alarm but Hadrian ignored him. Taking a deep breath, Hadrian hovered his hands over Stolas and did a scan of his injuries.

Two stab wounds, a broken leg, multiple bruises, and some internal bleeding. What was more concerning was the angelic traces flowing through his blood. Hadrian had to deal with that first before he could do anything else. “This is going to sting really bad but I need to get the angelic traces out of your blood.” Stolas nodded and bit his hand.

While this was going on Striker had managed to get the upper hand on M&M. But Millie quickly turned the tables and knocked down the imp’s stupid statue of himself with a big dick. It should have crushed him but the piece of shit managed to get away once more.

The two rushed over to Hadrian and Stolas but didn’t dare touch them or say anything. After a few minutes, Stolas seemed to breathe easier but Hadrian looked drained. “Was not expecting that to be so draining. We need to get him back to the hospital before mom comes looking for us. I have enough energy to open another portal back but I need to do one thing first.”

Blitz, Loona, Vox, and Angel were waiting outside of the hospital as Moxxie had sent a message to the group chat to let them know they’d be back with in the next five minutes. He also told them to stay clear of the van until after Hadrian gave the all clear. “There’s a lot of news crews. Vox?” The Overlord looked at Angel and sighed. “They heard about the attack at the tea shop and that Hedwig and Stolas were attacked. Odds are someone within the hospital leaked the information that Hedwig was here and Stolas would be too.”

Just then the van came through a portal and was swarmed by reports and hospital staff. Before the doors opened, Hadrian’s voice rang out. “IF YOU DON’T WISH TO DIE, I SUGGEST YOU ASSHOLES BACK THE FUCK OFF! THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!” He then started counting down from ten.

“TEN!”

Some of the smarter ones backed off but more took their places.

“NINE!”

Angel pulled his phone out so he could record the show.

“EIGHT!”

The staff got fidgety.

“SEVEN!”

The noise started to pick up.

“SIX!”

The reports started getting antsy.

“FIVE!”

Blitz bit his lip, having a good idea of what was about to happen.

“FOUR!”

Cameras focused on the van.

“THREE!”

The van started to shake slightly.

“TWO!”

The van unlocked.

“ONE!”

The sliding door opened, revealing glowing golden eyes.

Those that didn’t back away from the door dropped like flies as Kora’s killing gaze washed over them. Those that saw this ran as far from the van as they could. After a few moments, Kora slid out of the van and slowly grew to her full size, hissing at anyone that got too close. Hadrian soon followed her out glaring at the bodies that littered the ground. “Dad, can you get new, competent staff out here to help me get Uncle Stolas inside and treated?” The imp nodded in amusement while the other three came over to join Hadrian and M&M.

They peeked into the van and found Stolas sound asleep with bandages around his shoulder and leg, with a splint keeping the leg straight. “He’s gonna be ok, right?” Angel asked while Millie nodded, “Hadrian patched him up pretty good but was too drained to fix him up completely.” By this point Blitz was back with more staff that respected the fact that Kora would kill them if they fucked up.

Vox and Angel helped them transfer Stolas to the gurney and thankfully the staff knew better then to try and stop them all from following.

For the next hour, Hadrian helped the staff finish patching up Stolas who had thankfully woken up after the fact. Unfortunately for him, he was roomed with a pissed off Hedwig. “THAT FUCKING COCK SUCKING WHORE!!! STELLA BETTER WATCH HER FUCKING BACK BECAUSE I’M GOING TO BEAT HER LIKE A PINATA!!!!”

While she was only shot in the thigh, the hospital wanted to monitor her overnight. Everyone in the family was currently seated around the room, with Elliot bringing Octavia with him. “Didn’t think my first time seeing a different Ring would be like this. Zero out of ten, would not recommend.” Angel said with a giggle that soon became contagious. Soon, everyone was laughing at his stupid joke. “But seriously, you two ok? I mean, other than your hurt pride?” This was directed at Hedwig and she stuck her tongue out at him.

“I was quite frightened at first but knew you all would come for me.” Stolas smiled happily but that had more to do with the pain killers they had him on. Hadrian chuckled, “Uncle Stolas, I’m going to have Briar watch over you until you’re fully healed. I don’t like the thought of you being here alone with the rabid bitch on the loose.”

Millie looked at him questioningly. “Which one? Striker or Stella?” Hadrian looked her straight in her eye. “Yes.” Blitz started laughing as did Stolas, but again, he was on pretty strong pain killers. Soon enough, Elliot and Octavia joined them with Briar in tow. They stayed at the hospital until they had to leave.

The picture showed Hadrian hugging a crying Stolas as Blitz yelled at a nurse with Briar standing next to him.

Octopi: For context, dad wanted chocolate pudding but the nurse brought him vanilla chocolate swirl. Dad saw this and started crying, so Hadrian gave him a hug while Blitz and Briar threatened the nurse. Dad is still on strong pain killers if that isn’t obvious

TheEmpress: Please tell me you’re recording them!?

I.T._Support: I hid a camera in the room for safety, so if she isn’t then I am

SpiderQueen: Normally I’d find that creepy, but given the fact that his was kidnapped a few days ago, I’m gonna let it go

SpiderQueen: *he

Octopi: Is that why Briar keeps staring at the flowers you left?

I.T._Support: Most likely, yes. Did Hadrian just turn into a small dragon so Stolas could cuddle him?

Octopi: Yeah, dad originally wanted Blitz but he left to go get chocolate pudding not even two minutes ago with Briar. She’s going to let him ride her so it doesn’t take too long.

FullMooned: He’ll love that. He’s been trying to bribe her for a ride since we moved in

TheEmpress: I SAW HIS ATTEMPTS! IT WAS FUCKING MAGIC HOW SHE WOULD PRETEND TO LET HIM GET ON, ONLY TO BUCK HIM OFF!

Octopi: (Attached Image)

It showed Blitz holding a bag full of chocolate pudding as he tried to comfort a sobbing Stolas, who had his arms wrapped around the imp. Hadrian was sitting at the foot of the bed letting Briar groom him.

Octopi: For context, when Blitz got back dad didn’t know who he was at first. When he asked who the imp was visiting, Blitz said his boyfriend and dad got sad. Blitz asked why dad was sad and he said that he wished he had a boyfriend like him. Blitz walked over and said “It’s a good thing I’m your boyfriend then” and kissed him on the cheek. Dad stared at him for a second before sobbing and pulling him close. He’s now making happy cooing noises

I.T._Support: Speaking of happy noises. @The_End what did you leave in one of my workshops that has Hadrian giggling like a serial killer and refusing to let me in?

The_End is online

The_End: OH GOOD! He must have seen the note I left him then!

I.T._Support: That doesn’t answer my question

The_End is offline

I.T._Support: @The_End get the fuck back here!

TheEmpress: I doubt it’s anything dangerous

I.T._Support: That doesn’t make me feel better!

SpiderQueen: Wait, where’s M&M?

Octopi: Blitz mentioned sending them on a mission yesterday. Not sure what they were supposed to be doing but he didn’t look amused with them still being gone

FullMooned: Their supposed to be at a summer camp tracking down the target but knowing fat ass he let the power go to his head

FullMooned: *they’re

SpiderQueen: We love Moxxie but even I know that’s a bad idea. Millie caves to him too easily. Bet they’ll be gone for the rest of the week!

TheEmpress: No bet, we all know that they will be

Chapter Text

Hadrian was currently hanging out at the TV Tower watching Vox do things on his tablet next to him. Vark and Hades were playing together under Briar’s supervision while Kora was lounging on Hadrian’s lap. Vox had been asking him about the workshop but the teen just giggled every time he asked, so Vox eventually dropped it.

Loona had gone out with some friends and Blitz had gone off on a hunt for his sister, so that left Hadrian alone at the manor seeing as Hedwig and Octavia were visiting Stolas. While the teen deeply loved Kreacher, the little ram was doing some deep cleaning and Hadrian didn’t want to get in his way.

For the last couple of minutes, Vox had been looking at him but then quickly looking back at his tablet when Hadrian looked at him. The teen had found it amusing at first but then the Overlord’s phone kept chiming. He’d quickly look at it, message whoever it was, and then quickly put it down.

If Vox could, Hadrian was sure he’d be sweating. “Vox, are you ok?” The Overlord jumped at the sudden question and dropped his tablet. “Fuck! I’m a… I’m fine Hady! Don’t worry!” He smiled brightly at him but then cursed as the phone chimed again. “You sure about that?”

Vox sighed, “It’s just Angel being an annoying prick.” Hadrian raised a brow and the next time the phone went off he summoned it and ran. “KORA, COVER ME!” The basilisk lazily looked at the two and grew to half her size but it was enough to keep Vox from grabbing Hadrian as he escaped to the bedroom with the phone.

The Bitch Club!

FluffyBitch: ASK HIM OUT YOU COWARD!!!

PixelBitch: ANGEL!!

FluffyBitch: YOU’VE BEEN DANCING AROUND THIS FOR MONTHS!!!! IT WAS ONE THING WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER BUT HE’LL BE EIGHTEEN NEXT YEAR!!! YOU KNOW THOSE ROYAL BASTARDS WILL COME SNIFFING AROUND IF THEY HAVEN’T ALREADY!!!!

PixelBitch: But what if he thinks it’s weird!? I’m older than him by years!

FluffyBitch: He has the maturity of a forty-year-old and you have the maturity of a GOLDFISH!!!

FluffyBitch: ASK

FluffyBitch: HIM

FluffyBitch: OUT!!

PixelBitch: I don’t even know if he likes me that way

FluffyBitch: WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!?!?!?

FluffyBitch: It’s simple! Ask him out on a date. He either says yes or he won’t! Hady’s too much of a cinnamon roll to be mean and stop being friends with you

FluffyBitch: Vox, just ask him out before it’s too late and you regret it, please?

Hadrian looked up from the phone, knowing that he had a blush staining his face. He bit his lip and quickly pulled out his own phone.

BEST SIBS!

BabyDragon is online

BabyDragon: Hey @KillerWolf since dads one and two aren’t an option at the moment and I don’t want to subject Vox to mom. Does he have your permission to ask me on a date?

DangerFloof is online

DangerFloof: Why are you asking her? I’m the eldest here!

BabyDragon: I stole Vox’s phone when he said that you were spamming him. I got curious…

DangerFloof: Ah… carry on

KillerWolf: Well, it would appear that Angel already approves, so as along as he treats you right I don’t care. But I will tear him apart if he hurts you and you can tell him as much!

LittleOwl: I thought you two were dating already?

BabyDragon: WHAT!?

KillerWolf: I pretty sure Blitz thought so to the last time he caught you two cooking in the kitchen

KillerWolf: *I’m

DangerFloof: You two were so cute!! Dad one posted the pictures to the family group chat

BabyDragon: I can hear Vox banging his head against the wall so I need to go

DangerFloof: Have fun on your date!

LittleOwl: Tell us how it goes!

KillerWolf: Remember that if he makes you cry I’m skinning him!

BabyDragon is offline

Hadrian took a deep breath and opened the door. All four animals were watching as Vox banged his head against the wall. Hadrian walked over to him and held out the Overlord’s phone. Vox briefly stopped to take it and went right back to banging his head. The teen tilted his head, wondering what the best way to stop him was. “Loona gave her approval if it helps.”

Vox paused and looked at him. “What?” Hadrian chuckled, “Loona gives her approval to ask me on a date.” The Overlord blinked slowly at him before blue screening. Hadrian, having seen this happen before, let the man buffer for a minute. Soon enough, Vox was back online and blushing hard. It took him a minute to collect himself before straightening up.

“Hadrian, would you care to go on a date with me?” The teen chuckled and nodded, “I would like that very much. So, where are we going?” The Overlord paused not having thought that far ahead. Hadrian chuckled, “Do you want to take a minute.” He nodded quickly and started searching through his phone.

The teen let him be and got comfortable on the couch once more, this time with Vark and Hades on his lap. The little hell horse became fast friends with the shark and it was quite cute. Hadrian mindlessly scratched them both on the head as he watched Vox pace back and forth, most likely talking to Angel again.

After an hour, Vox finally stopped pacing and looked at him. “How would you like to go to a jazz club?” Hadrian looked amused, “I’m going to assume this is the one Angel’s been singing at?” The Overlord nodded with a blush, seeing as Angel had been the one to suggest it. “Yes, he says that they have a lovely dance floor and good food…” Vox trailed off as Hadrian just continued to look at him in amusement.

The teen moved the two animals from his lap and hopped up. “Well, what are we waiting for?” Hadrian then transformed his clothes into a modest vintage flapper dress; the colors matched Vox’ suit. The teen did a little spin to show off the fringe and winked. “So, how do I look?” The Overlord swallowed hard and looked like he was about to blue screen. “You look fantastic…” Hadrian laughed and grabbed his arm. “So, are we taking your car or am I opening a portal?” Vox finally seemed to get his bearings and smiled brightly. “No magic from you tonight! The car will be out front by the time we get there. Briar, you’re in charge!” She gave them a nicker as the penthouse doors closed behind them.

The ride over to the club was in a comfortable silence as the two just leaned into each other. Once the car stopped, Vox was the first one out and he offered his hand to Hadrian, who happily accepted. Apparently, Angel had called ahead of them as the staff was already waiting for them. They were seated at one of the private booths in the back so that they weren’t gawked at.

Vox ordered some whisky and a mocktail for Hadrian as he didn’t like to drink. “So, have you heard from Blitz recently?” Hadrian shook his head, “No, but I’ve been keeping a passive eye on him through his connection to me. He’s agitated but not to the point that I feel the need to go check on him in person.” Vox looked curious, “His connection to you?” Hadrian took a sip of his mocktail with a nod. “Everyone in the family bears the mark of The Master of Death. It’s invisible unless I’m actively using my powers. Dad one has it on his left cheek, Moxxie has it on his forehead just like Millie.”

The Overlord looked stunned and subtly tried to see if he could find one on himself. Hadrian chuckled at him, “Vox, would you like me to tell you where yours is?” The Overlord blushed at being caught and shook his head. “No, was just curious if I could use different filters to see it.” Vox then cleared his throat as the waiter came back to take their orders. “I think I’ll try the steak, medium rare. What about you, Hady?”

He hummed as he looked over the menu. “I’ll try the seafood alfredo, it sounds delicious.” The waiter nodded with a smile. “You’re in for a real treat then! We only recently added it to the menu and it’s been a big hit. Though, if you’d like we can add lobster to it? It’s not something we offer to just anyone but Angel always speaks so highly of you and how you like seafood.” Hadrian blushed softly, “Thank you, that sounds lovely.”

The waiter chuckled and wondered off towards the kitchens. Vox started out right laughing at him. “You’re so cute when you get embarrassed!” Hadrian threw a bread roll at him. “Oh shut you!” Vox just chuckled harder. They talked for a bit longer until the waiter came back with the food.

“The steaks nice, I wonder what they put on it? Kind of tastes like a garlic butter I think.” Hadrian chuckled, “It’s cute how you enjoy your food.” Vox blushed and looked at anywhere but Hadrian. “How’s your pasta?” The teen hummed happily, “It’s very good and he was right about the lobster! Would you like to try it?” Vox nodded and before he could reach over with his own fork, Hadrian was offering to feed him. The Overlord grumbled with a blush but took the offered bite.

“That is good, not as good as Kreacher’s cooking, but damn close! Would you like to try a bit of my steak?” Hadrian nodded quickly and opened his mouth with a smug ass look on his face. Vox rolled his eyes but did feed him. Hadrian then deliberately did a little happy wiggle that had Vox choking on his whisky. “You’re a brat!” The teen just stuck his tongue out at him.

They ate the rest of their food in silence and once they were done, Vox got up and offered Hadrian his hand. He blinked at it for a second before smiling brightly and taking it. They moved to the dance floor and slowly swayed to the song. “This has been very much fun and I’m glad I stole your phone.” Vox snorted but couldn’t help but agree. “In all honestly, Angel was close to beating me with a baseball bat if I didn’t ask you out soon.”

Hadrian out right laughed at that, “I’ll have to tell him thank you then. But had he actually done it, I would have more than happily kissed you better.” He said with a purr that Angel had taught him. It caused Vox to blue screen and Hadrian just laughed. “That’s not fair, Hady!” The teen leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. “Does that make it better?”

Vox just groaned, “Hadrian!” The Overlord suddenly dipped the other and Hadrian couldn’t stop laughing. “You drop me and I’m telling Loona!” This time it was Vox that laughed. Their fun was soon interrupted by a cloud of red smoke. The two started coughing as a tall figure moved towards them. “Now Vox, who’s this pretty young thing?”

The Overlord growled as Valentino came towards them but Hadrian put a hand on his chest. “It’s fine, Vox. I was bound to meet him at some point.” He whispered to the other before turning his attention back to the Roach. “Seeing as the odds of us meeting again is very slim, I don’t see the point of telling you my name.” Val looked annoyed for a moment but then a large grin over took his face. “Well, aren’t you the interesting one! Tell me, doll what makes you say that?”

Hadrian chuckled darkly, “Why would I associate myself with a parasite like you?” Val growled and moved to hit Hadrian but the younger caught his hand. This surprised Val but not as much as the pressure that the raven applied to it. The pain forced Val to his knees while everyone else watched on. Power was flowing off of Hadrian as he stared the parasite down. “Tell me, little bug? Why shouldn’t I just crush you under my foot for all the abuse you not only put my brother through but Vox as well.” Val looked horrified as a familiar mark appeared on Hadrian’s forehead and the back of Vox’ left hand.

“I’m in a very good mood tonight, so I suggest you fuck off before I change my mind.” Hadrian growled as he tossed the Roach away from him. Val quickly got up with a sneer and fled the club. The teen had to take a second to calm himself down. Vox looked at him in concern but then the raven started laughing his ass off. “SWEET SATAN!!! THE LOOK ON HIS FACE!!!!” Vox had to hold onto the teen so he didn’t fall to the floor. “PLEASE TELL ME THAT SOME ONE WAS RECORDING!?”

Multiple phones went into the air, making both of them start laughing. “Angel’s gonna be so pissed that he didn’t get to see that in person!” Vox said after a moment. Soon enough, everyone in the club started laughing with them.

They stayed at the club for another hour just enjoying themselves. By the time they got back to the tower Vox was pretty buzzed and leaning on a laughing Hadrian. “Come on, let’s get you changed and in bed.” The Overlord whined at him. “Not tired…” He was interrupted by a yawn. “To bad, you’re going to bed. If you don’t fight me I’ll even stay the night.”

Vox perked up and dragged a laughing Hadrian towards the bedroom. It was pretty easy to get him changed and by the time Hadrian had transfigured his clothes again, the Overlord was sound asleep. Hadrian chuckled and took a picture of Vox curled around a pillow. “Well, are you four joining us?” Vark didn’t hesitate to jump on the bed and neither did Hades. Kora wound herself around Hadrian and Briar slept on the floor by the foot of the bed. The raven laughed softly and crawled into bed after letting his siblings know he was babysitting a heavily buzzed Vox.

They all slept until the following afternoon and only woke up because Hadrian felt a sudden sharp pain rocket through his bond with Blitz. “Vox, I need to go, something’s wrong with dad one!” The Overlord nodded and watched as the raven opened a portal and walked through with Briar right behind him.

Hadrian looked around and found that he was standing outside of a boathouse. He could hear Moxxie and his dad, plus someone else. “You don’t fucking get it! Just cause I’m outta rehab doesn’t mean I wanna see you! I NEVER wanna see you EVER! Next time you want to find me BlitzO-“ Upon hearing his dad’s name said like that, Hadrian kicked down the door and growled at the female imp. “You sure know how to make a good fucking first impression don’t you, Aunt Barbie.” He added in a mocking tone much to everyone’s shock.

“Who the fuck are you?!” Hadrian sneered at her. “If you’d fucking take the time to speak with my dad instated of being a bitch, you’d know that I’m your nephew. But no! You’re too busy blaming him for your fucking choices! Did you know he has nightmares about that night!? Wakes up screaming yours and grandma’s names?! It takes me and my sister hours sometimes to get him to calm down!”

Barbie was left speechless as she looked between him and Blitz. “He’s tried calling you, writing to you, FUCKING SEEING YOU! But I guess that doesn’t matter to you does it? You’d rather throw him away like he didn’t matter. It was a fucking accident but that doesn’t matter to you either. NO, BECAUSE HE WAS JUST AN EASY TARGET FOR YOU TO HATE! WELL FUCK YOU!!!!”

Magic was rolling off of him in waves and the boathouse was starting to shake. The shadows were growing and slowly moving towards Barbie as Hadrian could still feel the pain from his bond with Blitz. Said imp walked towards the raven and gently pulled him into a hug, trying to calm him down. “Hey kiddo, it’s fine, nothin I wasn’t expecting to hear. I was just hoping she would at least listen. Let’s go home and we can curl up on the couch and watch bad horror flicks.”

Glowing green eyes finally looked away from Barbie and down at the imp. “Fine, but when we get home I got a video that I KNOW you’re going to love.” Hadrian slowly calmed down and the boathouse stopped shaking. Taking one last deep breath, he looked at Barbie once more. “When you finally decided to pull your head out of your ass, you can find us at I.M.P. and for your sake, I hope you really think about it. Come on, dad, Moxxie, let’s go find Millie and get the hell out of here.”

Barbie watched them all leave but froze when the strange horse looked at her. It felt like the thing was judging her and must have found what it was looking for as it looked away and left. Suddenly feeling something in her hand, Barbie looked down and found a business card with I.M.P. on the front and a phone number labeled Hadrian on the back.

It depicted Vox with ZZZ’s on his screen, sound asleep, and curled around a techno body pillow.
