"NO I DIDN'T TASTE IT" Miki yelled back at him. "But Silver did and she's okay. So far."

Silver grinned. "Why? Because we lived in a sewer?"

Cage lets go and looks to Sil and Gabe.
"YOU'RE GONNA- wait. He's still talking? wooooah."

Gabriel goes to respond, but immediately goes invisible once Cage directs a shout towards them.

Silver snapped her head toward Cage and hissed "SHHHHHHH!!!"

Miki bent over laughing. "Oh my word he turned invisible so fast!"

"Miki!" Silver cried. "Be quiet! You know he doesn't like it when people notice him!!"

Cage joins in the laughter. “No, but did you see how fast, Sil?” He wipes his eyes. “I’m sorry, I really am.” He shoves Miki gently, still laughing a little. “No more laughing!”
Gabriel dink’s back into the couch, still invisible, and Kissa heads back down the stairs.
“What on earth, guys. So loud.”

Silver glared murder at Cage and Miki and felt for Gabe, wrapping her arms around him. "You two go play in the basement." she growled.

"I'm sorry," Miki panted, taking long, slow breaths. "Okayokay, Cage, shut up. They were having a moment and we ruined it."

Cage bites his lip, holding in giggles. “Okayokay.” He sits in front of the couch, cross legged. “What were you talking about?”
Kissa raises an eyebrow at them. “Seriously. What kept him talking for so freakin long.”

Cold fury settled over Silver and she scooted closer to Gabe, gaze full of icy daggers. "We were talking about none of your business." She hissed, her top lip curling above her teeth.

"AhEM" Miki coughed from the kitchen. "Ahh Cage, she might kill you. I would suggest you back away."

His eyes widen and he stands up, walking away. “Geez.” He whispers under his breath.
Kissa settles on the couch behind Gabriel. “You talking about animals?” She quietly teases.
He gives her a small shove. “Not unless you count as an animal.”

"Sorry." Miki whispered to Cage. "I know that look and it means murder. I think we really did interrupt something."

Silver slowly released her hold on Gabe as Cage walked away. "Kind of. We were talking about where you two came from and your family and stuff."

Kiss raises an eyebrow. “Seriously? Why?”

Cage shrugs, “Yeah, yeah, I guess. I don’t know. I think I’m getting tired.” He sits in a stool and rests his elbows on the counter and his chin on his hands.

Silver nodded. "I wanted to know. Neither of you have ever told me about where you came from or anything. I loved hearing about your mom and his friend Ryder."

Miki nodded. "It has been a long day. What time is it?" She glanced at the kitchen clock. "Wow it's only almost 8. I feel like it's past 11."

Kissa rolls her eyes. “Of all the things you could talk about.” She quietly scoffs. “Mm. Whatever. Did you tell her about that time you ripped your wing when hunting with Ryder? Or the odd habit you had of always coming back from training with a cut on your cheekbone?”
Gabriel dink’s further into the couch. “Nooooo.” He quietly says.

Cage moans at the clock and rubs his eyes. “Do you think Kissa drugged the pasta? I really want some. But I’m too tired to eat.”

Silver leaned to the side so she could see Kissa better. "Noooo he didn't. Do tell."

"I think I'm gonna try it." Miki said, getting out a plate. "If I die… tell Robby I'm sad I never met her."

Cage giggles sleepily. “You got it.”

Kissa leans forward. “Okay so, when he was like, nine, him and Ryder went into the woods for a hunting competition. Gabriel is no good at hunting, obviously, so Ryder agreed to make it seem like he had at least caught one thing. However, while Ryder was shooting a rabbit Gabe wandered and got his wing caught in a thorn bush. It tore pretty bad, but the Crowns would’ve been furious if they discovered it, so Ryder stitched it up on sight and they kept it covered.” She ends with a short laugh. “Ryder did such a bad job with those stitches.”

Miki sat down beside him with her plate and slowly wound the noodles around her fork. "Here goes."

Silver eyes widened and she looked between Kissa and Gabe. "Did it scar??"

Kissa nods. “I mean, it’s not like you’d notice cause his wings are always invisible.” She gives Gabriel and irritated shove and he blushes. “He’s an idiot, so there are a lot of fun stories.”
He shove her with his elbow. “Cut it out, Kiss, I’m not an idiot.”

Cage takes a noodle from Miki’s plate and eats it slowly. “Mmmm. Not too bad.”

"He's not an idiot, but please tell me more." Silver said. "He didn't tell me stories like that."

Miki ate a bite, closing her eyes as she chewed. After she swallowed, she whispered, "Am I dying yet."

Kissa ruffles his hair and he glares, trying to sink further into the couch.
“So I trained to be an Angel at the time, and Gabriel was just doing the physical training, which is not hard at all. Angel training is waaay more work and a lot scarier. Anyways, I’d come home exhausted every day, and he’d always come homed with a small scratch or cut on his cheekbone. Always. Apparently it was just easy to cut? But it was weird.”

Cage stares at her. “I’ll tell Robby you wanted to meet her. And Ben that you wanted to kill him.” He pats her arm. “It’s okay to die.”

"What's an Angel? And why did you always cut your cheek, Gabe?"

Miki coughed, trying not to choke as she laughed. "Cage! I do not want to kill Ben! Why would you say that??"

Cage laughs, “to make you not die. Anyways, he would bring you back to life just to fight you.”

Gabriel materializes, glaring at Kiss. A grin crosses her lips. “An Angel is higher class strong women. They were basically our military but were trained in magic. The guys have weaker minds so can’t do much magic so they’re trained for physical combat.”
Gabriel opens his mouth to defend himself but pauses for a moment. “I- I don’t know why my cheekbone was always cut. It just. Was?”

Miki snorted. "He really would though. I guess we're all safe from dying cuz he would be like 'NO YOU CAN'T DIE' and bring us back just to argue about whether we could die or not."

"Oooohh," Silver said. "That's really cool. Like, everything in your world is so structured and planned out and stuff."

Cage snorts. “He would. My brother is nuts, just sayin.” He goes to the stove, filling a plate with pasta. “I wonder, if he has kids, how whacko they’ll be.”

Kissa chuckles. “I mean, yeah. That’s kinda why we look down in humans.” Gabriel shoves her.
“Geez, Kiss. Be nice.”

"No." Miki said. "Nu-uh. He already has enough kids with just us." she paused, staring at her plate. "But Cage." she whispered. "He and Vi are married now so… what if they do have kids???" she looked up at him, eyes filled with horror.

Silver laughed. "Well, thanks, Kiss. Maybe that's why they sent you to us–so you can fix our chaotic ways."

Cage whispers back, “Ben would die. I think. I have no idea.”

She nods, her nose in the air. “I guess.”
Gabriel rolls his eyes. “Wow. You’re so full of it, Kiss.”

"We can't let them have any kids." Miki said, keeping her voice low. "For Ben's safety. And everyone else's."

Silver covered her mouth with her hand, still giggling. "Well, if that's the case, then you haven't done a very good job." she raised her eyebrows, eyes alight.
