The news hadn’t hit her as much as they would have two or so years ago, but Alicia had known the girl. They hadn’t been close friends, she didn’t really keep many of those lately, but they’d talked a fair bit and sat next to each other in a particularly boring lecturer’s classes. 

The police had found the corpse two days before that morning, apparently killed by blood loss, and those news moved fast. Alicia hadn’t been to the girl’s funeral, uncomfortable in the holy grounds it would be held in, but she’d been to the graveyard to pay her respects the next morning. Funny thing was she’d found the grave open, a certain stench in the air. 

The odds had been Black Court or Ghouls, none of them nice, and it had only been after a full night of unsuccessful searching that Alicia had decided to seek help. As the mortal police was out of the question, she’d consulted Izitayel before setting on walking to Harry Dresden’s office, hoping she’d find him in there. She’d leave a note or a message otherwise, but as she knocked on the door she found herself admitting that, at the very least, the walk had helped her cool down. It was about noon, the day was still chilly and maybe, just maybe, Alicia was starting to have a bit of an anger problem. 

I have seen worse. You did not kill anybody tonight. 

Illidan turned on his hooves at the voice a spell in his hand until he recognised the owner.  In the stress and chaos of evacuating  the demon hunters he hadn’t checked to see if his younger self was among them. 

He felt a wave of anger wash over him at this defiance he had ordered everyone to go, he had tossed his own mate through the portal to Mardum and yet now here he stood. Illidan’s mouth tugged into a frown.  

“I sent them all away for reason, it’s for their own good. Why are you still here? I thought our agreement was you respect me when I tell you to do something.”

He starts charting their movements and it takes up some of the apartment. Kaldur simply sighs, sips his tea, and bites his humungous cookie.  

“ They are planning something Dearest, there is no doubt about it.” 

“ Why would they do that Dick?” Wow this cookie was good, Kaldur thought. 

“ Because they both don’t like me! And they probably think that if they work together they’ll get the jump on me. Well they would be dead wrong.” 

Dick starts put wards and charms around the house. Hi-jinx ensues.  

Kaldur accepts the demon (named Kallai) into their friend group which makes Dick jealous. Dick reminds everybody this dude was JUST part of some demonic supervillain roster trying to wreak havoc on the Earthly plane. He regularly voices his displeasure with this new arrangement. /2

His name is either Kai or Kallai /3

Dick has to remind this dude that he might be of high ranking but Dick, Daemon Princeps, was one of the highest ranking in all of the demon realm. Basically, Kai might be a prince/king but Dick was the royal. 

“ I just can’t understand why you are allowing him to stay within this realm Dearest he is vile and-”

“ Now Beloved...I seem to remember a certain demon trying to seduce me and steal my soul the first time we met...and he didn’t turn out too badly...in fact I’m quite fond.” Kaldur pecked him on the cheek and then went back to preparing snacks for movie night. 

Adrien and Chloe were supposed to be back from Europe and Kai no doubt would appear soon enough. Dick had half a mind to put some wards around the apartment.....

Omg can they be Maine Coon cats? They are huge and fluffy. 

In this universe, they are ward cats that can sense supernatural disturbances. 

Their names are Mochi and Titan. Titan is more stand offish and keeps eying Dick which freaks the demon out. Mochi is a sweetie-pie and likes everyone. At first Dick refused to get near them but Mochi kept trying snuggle up the demon. It took awhile but Dick eventually starts to really love the kitty. When Adrien comes back from his mission he finds that he is one kitty short and freaks out. 

Before Adrien calls demon hunter equivalent of the national guard and swat team, the door bell rings. When he opens he sees an exhausted Kaldur.

“ I believe (pant) Dick (pant) has something (paint) that belongs to you.” He had to chase down Dick across two realms and drag him to Adrien’s apartment. 

“ BUT MOCHI LIKES ME BETTER!” Dick whines. looking at Kaldur sulkily “ I can’t believe my own lover would betray like this.”

Kaldur sighs, “ Dick...as I’ve said several times over here. The cat doesn’t belong to you. Adrien is her rightful owner.” 

Mochi just meows happily in Dick’s arms. “ See! Mochi knows who the superior owner is.” 

Dick sticks his tongue out, Adrien gasps at the multiple insults. “ You take that back!” 

Chloe comes out of the kitchen with a pot of chamomile tea. 

“ Anybody else want tea? Oh hey Mochi’s back where was she?”

“ Me, I want tea.” Kaldur felt like a migraine coming on which he didn’t think was possible given he was an angel. “ Dick-”

“ CATNAPPED-”

“i THINK YOU MEAN LIBERATED-” 

“-the cat.” Kaldur finished. 

After she wakes up from the shock, starts going about her duties. 

Everything goes fine until Dick somehow weasels his way into the apartment (bc he’s super curious despite himself). He gets kinda pissed because remembers the times he had to suffer through that dolt staying at his and Kaldur’s apartment. He pettily tips over a vase (he has somewhat cat tendencies). 

“ Dick I didn’t let you come her so you break stuff!” 

“ It wasn’t me!” Yes it was, 100%. He’d do it again given the chance. 

Chloe claws her fingers down her face.  “ Do it again, and I’m telling Kaldur. I’m not playing.” 

“ Well...” Adrien started to push his index fingers together nervously “ I couldn’t ask my parents for the money or else they’d know I wasn’t making any. And if I took money out of my savings they asked questions so...” 

Dick swaps him on the back of the head, “ You’re.so.annoying!” 

“ Ow! I promised I’d pay you back! Ow! Stawp~!” 

It was certainly a few...thousand steps up than Kaldur and Dick’s little apartment. Dick refused to be impressed, the castle back in his realm was 100x more enormous and luxurious than this home. While they were at the mansion Dick was forced to glamour himself and he wasn’t happy about it. 

Kaldur and Chloe were careful about each step, everything seemed so fancy! The art pieces were exquisite, the marble flooring was without flaw. There were servants everywhere to attend their every need. It was the very tipity top of refined.
