"Well you'd have to go through his servants first. And then there's always the possibility of some kind of trial. Then if you survive you'd probably get an audience with him. He's a smug asshole, but he's buddy-buddy with the goddess of justice, so he's gotta keep his word. And if we're lucky we might get to see Molhaven on the way to wherever."

"Molhaven?"
Pluto sighed, taking another swig of coffee. "City of the gods. Well, more of an entire dimension, but you get the point. Whole place is crawling with every manner of creature, specifically demons and angels. The demons are fine, Damascus won't let them hurt any of us if we end up there, but the angels will have our asses in a heartbeat. Then there's the matter of the guard."
Mike took the omelet off the stove and started dishing it out. "Sounds complicated…..but not impossible. Dealing with snotty administrators usually sucks, but sometimes it's the best way to move forward. When does he start seeing guests?"
Pluto put the cooked bacon on a plate and moved it over to the side. "Usually whenever from my understanding. Though for some reason I've found most of his magic doesn't work in this dimension. So we'll probably end up in his Molhaven palace when we find the gate out of here."
"All right. Then how about once everyone's ready, we head out and I'll see if I can get this guy to help us. If he refuses, I guess we'll have to come up with another plan."
Pluto grabbed a plate with an omelet and grabbed a few pieces of bacon. "Well if we're really lucky I might be able to call in a favor. I've got a reaper friend who might be able to get Damascus to bribe Sammy into letting us off easy. Guy was never too bright."
Mike sat down and started eating. "Good. Why don't you try to get in touch with that guy while we wait for Red to wake up."
"Yeah, yeah." She grabbed her plate and walked down the hallway. She went into her room and closed the door, then grabbed her phone. Dialing a number, she put it on speaker and ate while it rang. There was a bit of static when it picked up, and then someone who didn't look older than 18 popped up on the video feed. He was covered in blood and his messy hair covered half his stitched face.
"Hey, Pluto! What's up? Thought you were tryin'a give us the cold shoulder!" There were vague fighting noises coming from behind him, and he turned around. "Shut it, can't you see I'm on the phone?!" The feed blurred as the boy turned around to slug what looked like an angel directly in the nose
(am I supposed to say something cuz I thought Mike was in the other room)
(sorry I was gonna add stuff but got distracted lol)
(okay XD)
"Echo, what are you doing? Why did you just break an angel's nose?" The camera refocused, and the reaper's grinning face came back into view.
"Oh, like you care! I'm at a fight club, noses getting broke is normal. Anyways I know you didn't call without a reason, so shoot." Pluto scowled, taking another drink of her coffee."
"Echo, I need you to get Damascus to talk to Samandriel. I've got some people here who need to get to their own dimensions but I know Sammy will roast 'em unless he's in a good mood." Echo's grin widened.
"Got it! One happy lion comin' right up. Just warnin' ya, Masky's been in a bad mood tryina make a dimensional key. Might be a bit, but I'll call when-" The video feed blurred as the phone was knocked out of Echo's hand. Vague shouting and fighting sounds could be heard, and an ash-colored wing went flying. Echo picked up the phone again. "Toodles!" He hung up and Pluto walked back into the kitchen
Mike looked up from cleaning his gun, having finished breakfast. "Any luck?"
"Well, judging by the fact that he's in a fight club right now and Damascus is apparently in a bad mood, it might take till tonight or it might take another week." She sat down next to him, stabbing and eating the omelet grumpily. "Stupid reaper's gonna get killed on day…"
"Nothing against your friend, but we don't have a week. If thing's aren't settled by tonight, we'll figure it out by ourselves." He carefully reloaded the gun and made sure the safety was on. "So you've known this reaper kid for a while, then?"
"Yeah. Saved me from a small army of angels back when I was first figuring out the angel thing. Echo and Advocate are the only reason I'm still here instead of being Ein's footstool." She took another swig of coffee, then got up to get more
(oh I have a sketch of Samandriel now https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OGKz-E2ELDNrUILRgab2xkWKQalFSbez/view?usp=sharing )
(Cool! Looks impressive all right XD)
"These angels you have here don't seem very well named," Mike commented. "Or maybe they just sound like jerks because I happen to be on the wrong side of law and order most of the time."
(thanks :D) Pluto laughed a little. "No, every angel I've met other than Hades has been a dick with wings. And their boss Ein is horrible. He's a relentless recruiter for the gods' current little war, and he isn't recruiting for the good guys. Quite frankly I hope Echo broke at least two angels' faces in the past hour."
"There's a war on, huh? Out of curiosity, is Samandriel involved in it at all?"
"Yup. He's on Ein's side. Poor idiot thinks he's fighting for good when he's really just a stepping stool for the bad guys." She finished off her food and threw the plate away
"Hm. Duly noted. I'll remember to avoid political chit-chat when we're around him." Mike stood up, putting away his weapons and setting his plate on the counter. "So….seems like we have a few hours to kill, and Asura looks like he could use some more sleep….. You don't happen to have a space where I could do a little training, do you?"
A smile spread across her face. "Ooh, I have just the place. And I can access it again now that I've got my powers back. Follow me." She got up and grabbed a glass of water, then walked into the garage
"Much obliged," Mike said, following her.
