Chapter 1: The little bird falls

Chapter Text

Adam at one point was used to pain. He was used to emotional pain  ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶ ̶L̶i̶l̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶ ̶E̶v̶e̶ ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶ ̶L̶u̶c̶i̶f̶e̶r̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶t̶e̶a̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶o̶n̶s̶, he’s felt physical pain  ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶n̶’̶t̶ ̶f̶e̶l̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶i̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶l̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶i̶e̶d̶, he was used to the pain of being alone  ̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶n̶n̶e̶r̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶s̶ ̶w̶h̶y̶ ̶d̶i̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶u̶r̶n̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶a̶w̶f̶u̶l̶ ̶w̶h̶y̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶n̶’̶t̶ ̶E̶v̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶y̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶n̶’̶t̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶c̶h̶i̶l̶d̶r̶e̶n̶, he was used to inflicting pain onto others  ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶w̶e̶e̶t̶ ̶r̶e̶l̶e̶a̶s̶e̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶w̶a̶y̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶r̶u̶e̶ ̶f̶r̶e̶e̶d̶o̶m̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶w̶a̶y̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶i̶g̶n̶o̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶a̶i̶n̶. He lays there as he can do no more then watch no way to release his own pain as he sees Lute fly off, the other exorcists following after her, and then those damn same sinners that he had been fighting before the small one came where walking over his body and rebuilding the hotel, the only person to even acknowledge he was there was that son of a bitch  ̶w̶h̶y̶ ̶d̶i̶d̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶w̶e̶l̶l̶?̶ Lucifer how all he did was give a small kick to Adam’s corpse as he rolled his eyes. What felt like hours but what Adam truly knew was perhaps not even two minutes later he had lost consciousness, he had died again, he didn’t need to worry about anyone leaving him, he didn’t have to worry about being hurt again, there would be nothing, no entertainment and no suffering there would just be nothing.

 

But of course his life could never be that easy. 

 

Adam awoke with a gasp of air, his eyes quickly opening wide before shutting again from the harsh light that awoke him. How the fuck was he even here? No it was clear not even that stupid small bitch could kill him, he must have died from his injuries given to him by Lucifer, sure still somewhat humiliating but he could get over it, yeah angels could respawn like those stupid demons just they never needed to. Though he was quickly pulled out of his thoughts by these weird loud noises, he opened his eyes and turned his head towards where they were coming from, while the buildings here looked similar to that in heaven everything else didn’t, there were these weird things that he would see when going down to commit the exterminations moving in multiple lines, there were humans normal humans not winners walking around, and a guy flying around in a weird ass looking outfit well at least that’s normal- nope he doesn’t have wings how the fuck is he flying.

 

Adam let out a groan, great Earth, sure he was allowed to go here all winners were but he had no purpose to ever come here, granted now he wished that he did just to know what the hell was going on. He shook his head, he could figure out why he woke up on Earth later, right now he needed to open up a portal to heaven simple enough just stick out his hand and okay no portal just have to focus a bit more is all. 

 

Adam stood there for a few minutes, nervousness filling his blood- no no he uh it’s fine this is fine. Adam sighed as he walked out of the alleyway he was in, might as well find that weird ass flying person to get some answers, Adam rolled his eyes as he jumped up ready to fly- before falling and landing on his face. Uh the fuck?!? Nope nope maybe he just had to stretch them and then- 

 

Fuck

 

Fuck

 

FUCK

 

This couldn’t be happening, it just couldn’t and yet it was. 

 

Adam was panicking at this point as he ran out of the alleyway looking frantically for anything that could be used for a mirror, settling for his reflection in a store window, he stared at it with his eyes wide.

 

When he first had died he had looked like a duck why a duck why did he have to look like a fucking duck you were supposed to be perfect in heaven so why did he have to look like a duck the angels had told him he could change his form and so he decided to look like how he did as a human, he would always have his wings and halo.

 

So where the fuck where they now?

 

Adam felt his breath speeding up as he couldn’t help but stare at his wingless reflection panic filling his brain, no no no this couldn’t be happening. Adam took a big gulp of air he would just have to get to Sera yeah she’ll help him get back to heaven and explain what’s going on, it’s the perfect plan… wait how’s he supposed to talk to her? He scoffed and rolled his eyes, he couldn’t die again that was completely out of the picture, finding another angel that could talk to her for him would be next to impossible in finding them let alone them being high ranking enough to be able to talk to Sera, he could get famous and an angel come and talk to him which would be high ranking enough and then he could have them sneak him into heaven where he can get into heaven. Yeah that’s a good plan now just to find a guitar to show these bitches what real music is like.

 

Adam walked around looking for a guitar for a while, before coming across a large crowd of people all cheering and saying things, Adam grumbled as he saw the crowd blocking his path and poked his head up to see what it was, there was some guy in a tight ass suit with a stupid smile flying down and carrying some random girl. Adam rolled his eyes as he turned around, though an idea did form in his head, if he saved some people along with getting famous then perhaps Sera would come and find him quicker! 

 

Adam felt a grin forming on his face as he walked away from the crowd . This was going to be good.

 

-

 

Okay so not as good as he thought. Sure it turned out he could summon his guitar just not… unsummon it but that didn’t matter, besides he made a bit of money and was able to buy a mask with that money, however it didn’t go anywhere near as far with him fighting crime and taking up the role of a hero or something. With that super lame guy or whatever his name flying around stopping basically all the crime it left with Adam even less then scraps. He sighed as he looked through his cash, sure he hadn’t gotten a lot but it was enough for a bus ticket and some bread, that was probably the thing that sucked most here everything was just so damn expensive back in heaven the only concern he ever had with eating was figuring out what he should eat never if he could eat. 

 

Adam sighed as he sat down on the bus seat and looked out the window, resting his head as he closed his eyes on the sunset he was so close to and yet so far from.




“Adam” Sera’s voice called out, Adam jumped when he heard it looking around to find where it came from before spotting Sera herself with the frown that she seemed to always wear.

 

“Damn bitch at least give me a warning next time” Adam responded as he crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, his voice stern even with Sera technically being his boss.

 

Sera sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose as she closed her eyes, “Adam, I've been calling your name for a minute now” she told him.

 

“Yeah sure whatever, what do you want?” Adam asked.

 

“We have decided that it is best for the assistants you asked for will be their own class of angels separate from all other, we have already formed a cover story for the public on why they are being made.” Sera told him as she walked in front of him guiding him through the hall.

 

“Yeah yeah cool or whatever” Adam commented as he slurped on his soda following Sera closely behind.

 

“The first one has already been made” She told him as she stopped in front of a singular room, slowly she took out a key and unlocked the door.

 

The room was both bare and filled to the brim with well Adam didn’t know what but his guess was what angels used to take care of children now. Though one thing he could still recognize (well besides for the crying and his nose being killed by the smell) Eve had been the one to come up with it a “crib” as she called it, though Adam still was the guy who made it. Inside of the crib was a small baby, it appeared quite human besides for the piercing yellow eyes and gray skin.

 

“I think your baby’s broken” Adam told Sera as he went over and picked the baby up and held it close to him.

 

“That is how they will all be made, their wings will grow in and their halo will come when they reach teenhood” Sera told him as she observed him carefully like he was going to drop the baby or something.

 

“Yeah sure” he responded absently as he looked down at the small baby with a small on his face, he had trained his sons and daughters how to hunt many times before he could do it again and again, only difference being the animals that they’re hunting this go around will be faster and smarter then the ones on Earth but Adam could train them so they’re even better then the dirt filling up hell, oh yes this will be easy for them. Easy for him.



Adam slowly awoke his eyes fluttering a few times as the bus came to a stop, he looked out at the dark city, and got up grabbing his guitar with him and got off the bus. He took in a deep breath of air before coughing it up, well air here sucks, and as he got a better look as he heard the train speeding off he couldn’t stop thinking about how this place reminded him of hell.

 

He felt a grin sneak up across his face as he walked towards the city.

 

Oh this was perfect.
