Acheron glared at Desacae 'Alright, you were asking for this.' he grabbed his arm and yanked him over, grabbing Six's hand at the same time. He said the spell, closing his eyes, Lucifer's room disapeared, he opened them.
They stood in a field of grass, far off before them stood white towers, made of marble and pearl, shining in the sun, the sky a bright blue. Clouds drifted through the sky, birds sang, and a slight breeze ran through the trees.
Acheron sighed 'I'm home...'

"Oh my g-!" stopping himself before he said it. "And there I was expecting sun, sea, and and sex. How mistaken I was, those towers look an awful long way away." he held Acheron's arm shocked at the tranquility.

'Ah.' Acheron said 'There's sex in Hell, but i'm in no rush to go there.'

"What the..." He was tempted to swear but thought the powers that be wouldn't like that... "What are you doing Angel? Don't you ever just stop and listen? Don't you realise what'll happen if they find me here? If you two would just stop and listen then I might be able to help!"

Acheron shook his head, counting down from ten 'Eight, seven, six,' he looked around, it all seemed clear, but he'd been wrong before 'Just follow my lead, alright.' he sighed 'Three, two...'
'Who goes there?'
Acheron looked up. Just as he'd suspected, three armoured Angels with swords. They looked less than happy 'Acheron Hades, Angel.' he said clearly.
'And these two un-Earthly creatures?' another Angel asked, pointing to Six and Desacae with his sword.
'They're...my...slaves.' Acheron smiled.
The three Angels nodded 'And why are you here?'
'I'd like to request a council with Lord Metatron and Lord Raphael.'
The Angels nodded, landing on the grass. They started leading the three into the city.

"Slaves! I'll show you slave, Feathers-for-brains." scowled Six trudging behind Acheron swiftly followed by the werewolf.

Acheron ran a hand down his face 'Keep your voice down.' he growled lowly 'You want to be locked up here? It might be pretty looking, but it's bloody boring.'

"Angels don't have slaves..." Desacae muttered resentfully. He then frozew at the names he had just heard. "I want immunity." He said immediately, "I'm not going to be held responsible for my actions on Earth simply because you brought me here against my will. Do you think I'm stupid enough to walk into the chambers of Rapheal and Metatron without some form of proctection? What kind of a fool do you take me for?!" He demanded angrily under his breath.

Acheron looked back at Desacae 'No one knows who you are up here, they don't watch the Earth like everyone thinks, they're too wrapped up in their own little lives. Angels are aristocrats, they don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.'
One of the guards looked back at Acheron warily 'Is that so?'
'When was the last time you looked down on Earth?' Acheron asked 'Huh?'
'I suppose you're posted down there, are you?' he asked.
Acheron nodded.
'That explains it then. You've spent too long with the Humans and these...creatures.' the guard looked back at Six and Desacae with disgust 'You've clearly changed.'
'For the better.'
'If you say so.'
Acheron glared at the guard, he decided to keep quiet, he didn't want to start a fight in Heaven.
It wasn't long before they reached a tall white tower in the outskirts of the city, vines climbed up the sides, a large, heavy wooden door stood in the side. The guards stopped beside it.
'Thanks for the escort.' Acheron said, not meaning a word as he walked through the door and held it open for the other two.

Desacae mumured a combination of very rude words under his breath. This is why he hated Angels. For one they were too damn arrogant. Secondly they were too powerful and there were too many of them. The world couldn't afford to have so many powerful Angels and Demons in it. One wrong word from either side and the world would become the battleground of a holy war. It was precisely the reason he had the job that he did. There were Demon Hunters so logically there had to be Angel Hunters to. Balance. With such power on both sides of the immortal realm balance was a key factor. And for another thing they always assumed you to be "in" with their plans. He had a job to do and this was getting them nowhere. I should never have involved them. He thought angrily. Bringing an Angel assassin to Heaven...Desacae would be lucky if he got out of here alive, despite what Acheron had said there were some bitter choirs up here who would love an excuse to cast him down into Hell. Well perhaps that wouldn't be too bad, he thought, but he'd rathrr avoid it anyway. He wasn't ready to go yet. What have I gotten myself into. He thought miserably.

Acheron pushed the door at the top of the stairs open and walked inside, looking around. There didn't seem to be anybody there...
'State your name.'
Acheron looked over at the balcony, Gabriel stood there, looking less than happy.
'Acheron Hades...Angel. I'm sorry to interupt you, Lord Gabriel, but-'
'Don't Angels know how to bow to their superiors...? Or have they forgotten?' Gabriel said distastfully.
Acheron bowed low and graciously 'My appologies, Lord.'
Gabriel looked bored 'Why are you here?'
'We were looking for Lord Metatron.'
'Lord Metatron is upstairs, sleeping.'
Acheron frowned 'Where is Lord Raphael...?'
'Away, he'll be back in a few hours.'
'Then why are you here?'
Gabriel looked sharply at Acheron 'Are you implying something?'
Acheron clenched his jaw. Of course he was implying something, Metatron and Raphael were his panets, if Gabriel had come between them-
'Angel.' Gabriel growled.
'No, my Lord.' Acheron said incincerely 'I was not implying anything.'
'Good.' Gabriel said, looking outside at the sky 'I don't like rumors. If I suspect one is about to start I will use every means necessary to silence the liar who starts them.'
Acheron nodded slowly 'Yes, Lord Gabriel.'
'Why are you still here?'
'I request permission to wait for Lord Metatron.'
'Denied.'
Acheron sighed, if Gabriel weren't here he could have just shouted 'DAD!' up the stairwell.
'You may leave, now.'
'I'd like to wait.'
'That's too bad. Your request was denied, now get out of my sight.'
Acheron was just about to call the Archangel an asshole when he heard a familiar voice.
'What's going on down here...?' Metatron asked, walking down the stairs. He rubbed his eyes sleepily as he walked past the two strangers and over to his son, he smiled 'Acheron...'
'Good day, Lord Metatron.' Acheron said, trying to sound neautral.
Metatron looked over at Gabriel and frowned '...Why are you still here?'
Gabriel stuttered 'I-I was just-'
'I told you when you arrived that I was going to take a nap, I thought you'd leave after that.' Metatron ran a hand through his hair 'Now run along.'
Gabriel glared at Acheron 'I was dealing with this intruding Angel, here.'
'Acheron is very welcome here.' Metatron said, and glancing at the two strangers, added 'As are his friends.'
Gabriel walked over to them all, stopping in front of Acheron 'What makes HIM inportant, huh? He's just an Angel.'
Metatron went to say something but was interupted.
'I'm not JUST an Angel.' Acheron said angrilly.
Gabriel stared at Acheron in disbelief 'Did you just raise your voice to me?' he growled 'Do you know who I AM? I'm the third highest Seraphim! Married to the second highest! I'm an Archangel!'
'You're also a whore.' Acheron growled.
Gabriel pulled his hand back and backhanded Acheron so hard he knocked him to the floor 'Don't you DARE insult me, you're BELOW me.' he snarled 'You deserve DEATH, you little-'
Metatron caught Gabriel's wrist, he stared down at him, flames dancing in his eyes 'Get. Out.'
Gabriel looked confused beyond belief 'But-'
'Now.'
'...Fine.' Gabriel pulled his wrist free, he walked over to the balcony and took off, flying away through the city.
Metatron held a hand out to Acheron, helping him up. He leaned down and checked his face, a bruise was already appearing on his cheek 'Sorry about that...Gabriel seems to be OBSESSED with me. And he abuses his power much too much.'
'And the Angels, it would seem.' Acheron said, rubbing his stinging cheek.
Metatron nodded, sighing heavily 'I have to do something about him...' he brightened up a moment later, smiling 'So, are you going to introduce me to your friends?'

"Im Sabrael Darkwing, Lord Megatron!" Six said looking up in awe. He looked up at Acheron. "Do I need to bow?" he whispered covering his mouth.

Acheron shook his head, trying to hold back a laugh 'No.'
Metatron smiled 'Nice to meet you. And your other friend, Acheron...?'
Acheron stared at Desacae 'Uh...'

Desacae remained silent. He gave a small bow of respect, but nothing elaborate. He acknowledged the Archangel's rank, but owed him nothing. Besides, if he said nothing then he couldn't be prosecuted for it.

Acheron frowned 'His name is Desacae, I think...'
Metatron nodded 'So why are you here...? It's not often I get a visit from you, if ever.'
'Bad news.' Acheron said 'Lucifer is posing as mayor in a city on Earth and is currupting it's population, he's already killed all the Angels that were living there. He has to be stopped.'
Metatron nodded slowly, taking all the information in. He sighed, looking out at the landing platform 'This is serious, i'll have to call the other Archangels to a meeting...' he looked back at Acheron 'Thank you for informing me. Uh...' he looked about 'You need a place to stay, i'll find you an empty tower somewhere deeper in the city...'
Acheron nodded 'Thanks.' he smiled 'How's dad?'
'Oh, fine, you know Raphael.' Metatron smiled happily as he searched around his desk by the wall for something 'Gabriel has been a bit off lately, like I said. Everyone else is fine.'
Acheron nodded slowly, looking around the large room 'Hm...' he looked back at Six 'You okay? You're being really quiet...'

"It's just a bit daunting. It's not everyday I go on a day-trip to heaven." he sighed. "By the way, didn't you say the Archangels would just annihilate New York?"

Acheron bit his lip 'This is why I came here first, my father will understand, and he'll try to convince the others not the destroy the city.'
Metatron walked back over, smiling 'No use destroying Lucifer if we kill so many innocents with him. I'll talk to the others, they'll understand.' he handed Acheron a sheet of parchment 'Here, this is the address, just follow it, i'll send a Cherub to you to summon you after the meeting.'
Acheron nodded, taking the parchment and looking it over 'Okay.' he turned and grabbed Six's hand and bid Desacae to follow 'We'll see you later.' he called, walking out with the others.
They walked for a while through the city, getting odd looks from the other Angels they passed. They were walking, which seemed very unusual to everyone in Heaven. Flying was a must.
They reached the tower they were staying at a few minutes later, Acheron pushed the door open and walked up the many flights of stairs, making sure the others were close behind. He reached the first floor and pushed the door open, looking in.
The room was round, like a lighthouse building's rooms were. Large windows were set in the walls, accross from the door a landing platform jutted out of the side of the tower, there were couches set around the room, bookshelves full of books, a floor made of marble.
'The bedrooms are upstairs.' Acheron said, turning to the others 'It's going to be a good few hours before the meeting is over, so...I suggest you guys make yourself comfortable.'

Six walked into the large spacious room, a white double bed lay in the centre lavishly decorated with vibrant silks, with large fluffy pillows. He went and sat on the bed, sinking in deep. He yelped as the bed engulfed him it was like quicksand. "ACCCCCCCCHHHH!!!!" he wailed.

Acheron ran into the room, he stared over at Six. What the Hell? Why was the bed eating him? He ran over and grabbed his hand, pulling him out 'You okay?'

"Yeah, luckily the furniture doesn't have teeth or a digestive system." he grinned slightly breathless. "But like, Is it some sort of heavenly security system?" he asked. "I mean I heard of bodyform mattresses but that is just ridiculous."

Acheron sat down on the bed, he bounced on it experimentally 'Seems okay. Maybe it's just got a charm on it.' he shrugged 'Might mean you have to sleep on the couch...or the floor.'

Acheron nodded 'That sounds fine.' he climbed onto the bed and laid down 'It's been a long morning...I guess I could do with some rest.' he yawned and rolled over onto his front, hugging one of the big, soft pillows 'Hmm...'

Six crawled into the large bed, after removing his clothes. The weather was rather pleasant in heaven he didn't want to get too warm. He quickly fell asleep lying next to the warm angel.

Desacae rolled his eyes at the pairs antics. "How can an Angel be gay? Hell, how can they even have children?" He thought. "Sick bastards." He muttered. He didn't like the furniture, he much prefered Earth and the forests. Once he got back there he was seriously tempted to dump the pair of them, and find a way to beat the Archangel alone. No. He couldn't do that unfortunately, it wasn't feasible. Still, he disliked all the white and smooth buildings. He climbed up to the second floor and looked out the window. Thankfully nobody noticed him. He came back downstairs, having obtained very little from his quick view. He glanced at Six and Acheron. They were fast asleep. He rolled his eyes again and sat down in the middle of the floor, legs crossed, head held up. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate. Meditating was always a good way to usefully pass the time.

Acheron woke a few hours later, wrapped up around Six. He sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, something caught his eye on the floor, he glanced over. Desacae was curcled up on the marble. Acheron sighed, just happy he was settled.
He climbed out of the bed and walked silently accross the floor and out onto the landing platform, he stared out at the beautiful view of Heaven. It was late in the afternoon, early evening, the sky was growing dark, and the sun was begining to set.
The sky was a beautiful deep red, with splashes or orange and yellow, dark blue, light blue and purple, the clouds were few and far between, with light pink outlines, hovering on the horizon. Long, dark shadows lay on the ground around the towers, stretching further and further as the minutes passed.
The wind swayed the trees, making a soft sound as it disturbed the leaves. Birds sang softly somewhere far off, and the odd Angel could be seen flying in amoungst the towers, making their way home.
Acheron smiled, he pulled his shirt off and dropped it beside his feet. His large white wings extended from his back and spread out behind him, he could feel the warmth of the sun on his feathers. He'd really missed Heaven, he wished he could stay, but he knew that as soon as New York's fate was decided by the council he, Six and Desacae would have to return to Earth.
He stood and watched the sun set, wating for the others to wake up.

Desacae opened one eye as he heard someone move behind him. He got up immediately and stretched, feeling refreshed, despite the fact that he had not slept at all. He followed the Angel outside and watched the sunset. "I've seen better..." he said, breaking the silence. "Listen...Acheron..." he started, turning to the Angel. "I don't believe in becoming emotionally attached to many people, so if i seem anti-social then that's my reason. However I do appreciate the help you are prepared to offer, even if it is only by chance." He offered a paw to the onlooking Angel. "but don't expect me to hang around once this over. It's nothing personal, it's how I live."

Acheron nodded slowly 'I figured you were that kind of guy...' he looked down at Desacae's hand and shook it, nodding 'You have my help, though you never really explained what you were doing in Lucifer's building, or before that.'

Desacae raised a hairy eyebrow. "Ah well...that happens when you don't let people explain things." He said cooly. "That's the reason I was there. I'm a hunter. Lucifer was the target. I was trying to recruit you into helping me. It seems however you were there for the same reason."
