Chapter Text
Oh this was going more than perfect. Adam was able to get chips, a drink, and his bread, as well as keeping some leftover cash! He was also graceful he had gotten his mask at that other place than here because damn were the expensive for even a cheap one. But the best part was how many criminals there were, fuck he was even making a small name for himself well more like they were calling him some guy and then realizing he wasn’t that other guy as he pulled out his guitar and fuck he really should’ve gotten wipes or something to clean off this blood. Adam sighed as he looked down at the body, it was about to become day and he wasn’t planning on having weird stares as he played with a bloodied guitar which left only one option.
“Look I really don’t wanna do this either but I don’t have anything else to clean this old thing with” Adam told the other man who tried to run away from Adam but was unsuccessful from the shock of having his arm cut off, something he learnt that people would do if another was caught stealing, just cutting off the root of the problem. Granted now that he had to clean off his guitar ax thingie using the guy’s clothes it was a little more awkward.
“But yeah don’t steal that shit gets you in hell, or you could just become an armless loser I don’t care” Adam said with a shrug as he walked away carrying his ax over his shoulder.
Okay so crime fighting and money was much less of a problem here what was a problem was actually getting the money. He had so far only made 10 bucks in the time that in the other city he had managed to make 50, this place sucked for money. But Adam kept playing; he had to if he wanted money, what other options did he have get a job? Yeah no fuck that he wasn’t getting one of those dumb things. He wasn’t going to sloop down to stealing either went against what he was trying to do right now. So playing on the streets was his only option.
Adam opened up his eyes and saw what appeared to be some rich guy and standing next to him was what looked like a squished down version of him- a kid.
“I know it’s stupid but with the way you say those words, with how much hatred behind them I just don’t want the kids to be saying them” Eve asked as she gently rocked Abel back to sleep in her arms. Her long red and curly hair flew down her back as her green eyes begged of Adam to stop.
“Don’t know whatcha talkin bout bitch” Adam told her not even bothering to turn around and looked at her as he cleaned the spear.
“I mean that! It’s hurtful I don’t want them to know that stuff, I mean we already seen how Cain is like…” Eve’s voice trailed off as she looked out the window.
“And? At the rate he’s going he’s going to become a better hunter than me! Isn’t that what you want for our children to be able to provide or whatever for theirs when we’re died and buried because of what you did!” Adam growled out as he flew the spear down and stood up walking closer to Eve who held Able closer to her as she took a step away.
“Adam please I didn’t know we would’ve been kicked out! I was just trying to-“
“You were talking to him . I could care less about being kicked out but you talking to him is what pisses me off.” Adam sighed before going back to his spear and putting it in place. “Fine you want me to not use those words around the kids then I won’t, but just know that this is your fault I have to”
Adam took a deep breath, the angels still didn’t want him to curse around kids even if they weren’t going to get any older but still this kid would, might as well keep it child friendly.
“You're a fool, fool, fool, can’t believe I trusted such an idiot little fool!” Adam sang out as he strung his guitar, sure not his best work but better then free jazz Pete or godforbid that stupid drummer bitch.
When he opened his eyes again he saw the man and kid walking away, he rolled his eyes before looking down at the mask that he had been using to hold his money, his eyes drawing towards the hundred dollar bill a grin forming on his face. Maybe coming to this place was for the best.
Adam finished the song he was singing before picking up the mask and looking through the cash carefully, already having a plan on what he was going to buy. He got a pretty cheap backpack to hold his stuff in as well as a cloth to clean up any blood he might get on his ax, the rest he put towards getting what he needed for his next invention, well not really a new invention seeing how heaven already had some for angels that never got wings but it was pretty damn new to the people here.
Adam didn’t play for the rest of the day and instead focused on building these bad boys, he didn’t have the money to buy the stuff he needed for a fully powered one that would be when he’s a full blown celebrity but for now these cheaper ones would work pretty well. Adam took a deep breath when night finally came and they were done. He carefully slipped them on before placing his mask on his face and grabbed his ax.
He took a deep breath as he looked down at the city below him as he stood on top of the abandoned building before he closed his eyes and took a step down.
He felt the rush of air in his hair and couldn’t help but laugh as his makeshift wings opened up and let him glide down, sure he couldn’t really fly let but when he gets the money and a proper place to sleep then he can make the real bad boys and fly freely. Adam saw a guy mugging another person as he flew down and with a swift swing of his ax and a quick landing the mugger fell to the ground with a massive cut in their back.

So if Adam has learnt one thing while being here is that he is not good with saving money. He also has a very bad idea on whether or not a place is good seeing how he’s barely made any money and that random rich guy was just the exception. Adam sighed as he carried his ax, maybe it was just where he was located that was the problem or the fact he felt as if he was about to pass out. Either way his head was down and he wasn't looking in front of him when he ran into a random poll.
“Fucking ow shit” Adam mumbled under his breath damn pain sucked, he rolled his eyes before spotting a flyer on the poll, apparently there was going to be some kind of rich party and they were looking for musicians to play during it and man were they paying good for it, Adam felt his own grin growing larger then that weird red smiling pussy.
Adam stuffed the flyer into his backpack already planning on what he was going to play.
