self discovery
Vaggies pov
I took a deep breath. Ok vaggie you can do this. You just gotta ask him about the wings. No big deal. Just asking my father who singlehandedly raised me if he's been lying to me-
"Hey princess-"
"Yah!" I jumped at the sound of my father's voice.
He raised an eyebrow "you wanted to talk to me about something?"
"Yeah" I took a deep breath "daddy you know I love you right?"
"Of course" he nodded.
"And this isn't me saying that I don't appreciate how much you've done for me" I took his hands "but I need to know, how do I have angel wings? I know I could have inherited them from you but if I'm half demon like Charlie that would be unlikely"
He let out a deep sigh "I should have known I'd have to have this conversation. Take a seat" I nodded as I took a seat. He ran a hand through his hair anxiously "the truth is I'm not your biological father"
I had a feeling "where did you find me?"
"Here if you'd believe it" he chuckled lightly "it was a day like any other"
*Flashback*
Adams pov
I woke up to the sound of screaming. What the fuck now? Putting on my black crown and dawning my dark blue cape I walked through the empty castle that I now occupied. Not that becoming king made me feel any better. Still too late to take it back now.
I poked my head out into the garden to find a toddler crying, her back bleeding. My eyes widened..
She's an angel!
"Easy baby girl" I gently approached her "it's ok. I'm here" I gently scooped her up in my arms. As soon as I did a familiar face appeared.
"Hey Adam long time no see"
"Angel dust" I spat his name out like a bad taste "I see it didn't take you long to take my position"
"Well someone had to fill it after your fuck up"
"Standing up for what I thought was right was not a fuck up!" I growled.
"Whatever you have to tell yourself" he smirked before his eyes landed on the kid "I see you found our defective angel"
"Defective? She's a kid" I glared at him.
"She's heaven born dumbass" he walked over to us "raised to be a living weapon but the brat has no talent so she has to go"
"Over my dead body" I held her close, pulling my angelic weapon out "now you listen here prick. You're gonna go home and pretend you finished the job. That is unless you want to lose your fucking head!"
"Whatever" he shrugged "if keeping that defective brat around makes you feel better than be my guest"
I put my weapon away and shoved past him, carrying the crying girl inside.
"Easy baby girl, he's not going to hurt you anymore" I bounced her in my arms. I'd patched her up but I couldn't stop her crying. Suddenly an idea came to me. I picked up my guitar and started playing.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away"
"Again again" she cheered, her tears had dried and a smile returned to her face.
"A fellow music lover huh" I leaned down and kissed her forehead "I think you and I are going to get along just fine kiddo"
Vaggies pov
"I can't believe you did that for me" I shook my head in disbelief "You save my life"
"I didn't want you to feel different so I never told you" he scratched his head awkwardly "Hope you're not mad at me"
"Of course not" I hugged him tightly "I never thought I could love you more than I already do, daddy" he teared up at my response "now if you'll excuse me I'm going on a journey of self discovery!" With that I flew out the door.
"Woohoo!" I cheered as I flew around the pride ring. Flying feels so freeing. Now I know how daddy felt when his wings grew back. He said it happened when I came into his life. It was one of my favourite stories. I never felt closer to him than I do now.
"Hey vaggie!" I looked down to see Charlie calling out to me. I flew down to meet her "hey babe. Stretching out those wings of yours?"
"Yep! Just part of my journey of self discovery" I said brightly "an angel raised in hell. It feels right somehow"
"Are you sure you're ok. I mean with finding out you were a defective angel" she looked at me worriedly.
"Yeah it does kinda hurt knowing I was unwanted" I looked up to the heavens somberly "but I got lucky, getting saved by daddy and brought up in a loving home. I actually feel pretty bad for the angels stuck being weapons"
"Still thinking of others. That's so like you" she cupped my face with a loving smile "I want you to know that nothing has changed. You're still the amazing strong woman I fell in love with"
"Aw Charlie" I pulled her in for a kiss "I think I had enough self discovery for one day. Let's go home"
"Alright" she nodded as she headed down with me.
During our walk however I was pinned down by another angel.
"What are you-"
"Quiet!" She held the spear at my throat "I was ordered to eliminate you and I never fail a mission"
"Well there's a first time for everything!" I kicked her in the chest, jumping to my feet.
"Cute" she smirked as she tightened her grip
"Don't even think about it!" Charlie stepped in front of me "it'll be a cold day in hell before I ever let you hurt her!"
"Relax, you'll get your turn" she flew over her head, locking onto me. I pulled out my spear to defend myself but she was faster than me. It was like she'd been training for this her whole life.
"Yah!" Charlie attacked her from behind. She moved to the side and swiftly pulled out a dagger, blocking her attack. She twisted her body around and threw Charlie into me.
"Eep" the two of us fell down in a heap.
"How lucky was this" she approached us with a smile "A two for one deal. I'll be home before lunch"
Before she could advance any further she was met by a punch in the face. She looked up to see both Lucifer and dad glaring down at her.
"We noticed you girls were in trouble. You ok" dad gave me a concerned look.
"We're fine daddy" I smiled greatfully.
"Tough luck girl. You just happened to run into two of the most powerful and protective dad's on this side of hell" Lucifer grinned.
She growled as she picked up her weapon, charging at them. Lucifer dodged with ease which seemed to only anger her further.
"I am not failing my mission to the likes of you traitorous bastards!" She screamed.
While luci was distracted her dad snuck up behind and punched her in the back. The two of them fist-bumped as she fell to the ground, defeated. They probably didn't need to work together but it's nice to see them getting along.
"I failed?" Her eyes widened in horror "no I can't fail. I'm not meant to fail!"
Suddenly a whizzing sound rushed past my ears towards the girl "look out" I called out to her as an arrow came at her.
Dad jumped into action, wrapping his arms around her and taking the hit...
