Son of Hell

There you are. I've been looking for you.

Uriel, the one who's stepped up and is actually acting like a father instead of shutting everything out like my other temperamental father, yes. That's him. I won't refute that my father is acting like a brat that needs a good scolding from someone who won't put up with his attitude anymore, like those before me. I hold no offense because you speak the truth, and given your circumstances, you're a lot nicer than I would have expected. While it's not my coven from my timeline, it's still a coven. Yet, while I still have a mantle, it's not how I wanted to obtain it. A limping and half-dead coven that would be easier to wipe out completely instead of working painstakingly to build it back up after the one who destroyed it refused to do so. Not so delightful a circumstance that makes it seem like I have a silver spoon at times.

I personally never had the chance to meet Uriel considering the entire First Family where I come from is dead. God, if you tried scolding my version of Rhys no matter who you are, you will soon find out what it feels like not having your head attached. He's a brat in this timeline, he's a brat turned up by eleven in mine, he won't listen. The only reason I'm being nice to you has mostly everything to do with my stint in therapy and a dangerous temper that, as I said, I was working on. Yet, you have the mantle anyway, Finnian. It's not all peaches and cream being a leader. The coven's messy, Hell as I knew it was far from perfect, you aren't in charge if we couldn't handle the pressure. What you do with the witches isn't my fucking business either way. I may have First blood in my veins, but I am the son of the Prince of Greed. Heir to the throne of Hell, brother of two half-demon siblings, I denounce Celeste and Wrath as my parents. Therefore, I denounce the coven.

No... not Bellora. She created a deal with an alternate version of Azriel. She claimed that his sole purpose is to kill Bellora, but she and I both know that he won't just leave after killing the goddess. I've already warned as many people as I can and am working on a plan in order to combat her recklessness, and Cronus is reaching out to Finnian. I want you to be prepared in case this version of Azriel brings back traumatic memories for you.

Azriel. So, allow me to repeat back what you just said since that is the only thing keeping me from thieving my wasteful birth father's species-killing weapon and running your brother through. Your version of the Weaver stepped into the mind of mine for a beat and invited the same alter ego who's mowed down the entire Prince bloodline into your Az's body. My family is gone, Gianna. My father, my mother, my sisters, my twin, gone. Because of him. At this point, I do not care if the plan accidentally kills both versions of Azriel, I am finished seeing the face of the monster mock me whether it is my version or yours.

It comes with our stations that we expect the unexpected.

An argument's made, I don't hold the station I once did.

We're both prime examples of meddling gone wrong, but people never learn. It's Emilia. She's made a deal with someone very bad that I'm not really sure she fully understands the repercussions of until it hits her full force.

Are you saying the Weaver crafted a deal with Bellora? If that is the case or if it's someone else entirely, then she's an enemy of the coven and should be treated as such. We can't afford reckless right now.

Forgive me for staying out of the current issues, but there's not much I can do other than lend an ear.

I recognize that statement delves deeper than your ability to be the sounding board, but we don't need to state the obvious.

There's always a world of endless enemies and boundless crossovers that seem to outdo the last.

I cannot say this is a particular crossover that shouldn't surprise me anyway.

Does it matter? They're all annoying, anyway, unless they do something funny. Like flaying someone to shreds.

You and someone else I know just as unhinged as you are would be great friends. Oh, actually, he's more likely to crack your stomach open and see what's inside.

Unfortunately, there's always a worse possibility when people meddle in things they shouldn't. I know that since I'm quite adept at meddling to a degree.

I've had the habit meddling where I shouldn't once or twice and got my ass kicked for it by your brother. Who has meddled now?

Things tend to get a lot worse before getting slightly better.

How worse can it grow than this, Aunt Gianna? None of us get the choice in what's traded away to make it better.

Which is precisely the reason my Queen got me this wig. Yep– Josephine wanted an excuse to wear her old clothes from our Hell days, and so I happily obliged.

it definitely looks like a wig, but you pull it off well. You and her always have an opportunity to return for visits to Hell if she's feeling nostalgic. I'd just maybe leave the kid at home.

Definitely both. I have always been a fan of a good pant outfit, but you know how mother gets when she finds out we like something and has father's black card in hand. Okay, maybe not her normal dose. I have a feeling we are going to have to run interference tonight.

Me too, and a part of me wants to take all the ones your mother is in and hoard them. I suppose turnabout is fair play when she has been harassing you almost relentlessly, just don't cause too much trouble. Apparently, the bartender gets a temper if things get too out of hand, from what I've heard.

You'll be needing more pockets than you have stowing away every single photo Mother is in. It's what I must resort to if no one in this family is giving her a reprimand making so much trouble and I love seeing her get mad. Valentin seemed nice enough, Father, though I do sense the rage in that one. Mother might be able to calm him down if it came to that.

You could have been the odd one out, but the real shame would have been disappointing your mom. I like the little flips he does, and I thought it would be hilarious to say 'friendly neighborhood Spider-Man' in my accent. What made you pick fast boy?

And I am not one to disappoint my own mother, that look is devastating. Peter Parker was always one of my favorites that was introduced and I loved hearing Iron Man call him Underoos. I don't know, maybe it's the fact Pietro is a twin or he was severely underdeveloped as a character, but he had suave charm and a good heart. Plus, I knew I couldn't pass up the chance to have Lenore as Wanda with her red locks.

Apparently, it's quite commonplace with Alexia and her friends. She is having fun, and I hope you are, too.

I have seen the pictures lining the bar. I'm enjoying myself in a moderate amount, but torturing my little sister the way she does to me makes it that much better.

Was that from your shopping trip with Mother or is that our father's power suit influence? Len's normal dose means burning down the bar.
