[The hilt of a phantom sword flickers in his grip. A metaphorical burning leather grip, silver and blessed by her. They curl over his hand in a pair of wings. They're his wings, he is made of wings but when he threw them down from heaven he had four wings and speed, clashing with his former brothers and sisters.
Now things would be more civilized. There'd be papers and firing and erasing them from computers. Here though in his mind there's the smell of silver blood and burning wings.
His nostrils flare and he stares at his shoes before nodding.]
Yes.
Angels can feel anger and bitterness and regret.
We didn't always. Not before Lucifer. Not before the morning star. It was peaceful and loving. Then he taught us anger. And regret. And those who followed him did the same.
[his lip curled.] Which demons have you talked to?
Lucifer, who claimed to be in charge of Hell itself and another one who claimed to be a Biblical demon but I didn't catch his name. He was planning a wedding and he name-dropped you though.
I tried to punish his husband. He used to be my coworker before he was...mutated by him. Aziraphale was a terrible employee and a generally shitty person but he was still my coworker.
Ask him what he did. What the two of them did because I just did my damn job.
They averted the apocalypse I was trying to plan, and I had to punish Aziraphale for it before it turned out he was no longer angelic and hellfire did nothing.

Of course it is. Gabriel looks tired.]

I acted as her representative in the matter yes.
It had to happen. Everything has to end. I just didn't consider that human beings would be so...defiant.
