There's a soft white glow, a subtle beating of wings coming from the backyard of Harmonia's house. Luna walks outside in her black hoodie looking for the source of the magical white glow. She hears the beating of wings, but probably can't recognize the sound.
"Hello?" She asks. Knight follows Luna outside. Before them both was... well, it was a tall, blond haired man. Taking him in was a sight to behold, he looked absolutely perfect. His face was perfectly built, not a single blemish or scar in sight. His light grey, almost white eyes looking over the both of them with a focused but nonthreatening gaze. His lips curled into a peaceful, content smile. His hair was tied behind him in a long ponytail, perfectly well kept, swaying as he looked between them. A wave of peacefulness washed over them.
"Hello, may I ask your names?" the man asks.
"Luna, like the moon, or the cat from Sailor Moon." Luna has no idea what she's looking at, but she knows one thing very well: Thank fuck for bisexuality, because he's fucking hot.
“Knight.” Knight is too tired to care about this feathery motherfucker’s looks.
"Ah, so I have reached the right place then. It's nice to meet you both." His smile would widen just a small bit, and he'd offer a hand to shake. Luna takes the hand gently.
“Who are you? Why are you here?” Knight asks tiredly. The feeling of peace increases while shaking the man's hand as he looks at Knight,
"Ah, my apologies. My name is Gabriel. And it appears this band of yours could use a helping hand. I've been observing for a while now."
“Of course you have.”
"What do you mean by that?" Gabriel asks, with a slight tilt of his head.
“You know how many times a person has shown up saying that they ‘know a lot’ and they ‘been watching us’ and then they attack us? Quite a few,” Knight sighs.
"Ah, I assure you my intentions are nothing of the sort," He gives a soft nod, "My knowledge only comes from what has been made available publicly through posts on the internet."
“Cool, I guess.”
"Well off first impressions, I think you're okay. I am curious what you mean about your knowledge though," Luna says, smiling.
"You seem quite kind yourself, Luna," He returns the smile, "And to expand, I simply mean I've been watching Twitter, Youtube, and Discord. Your curious case has intrigued me, and I feel it would be beneficial for me to step in."
"I see. How do you intend to help?"
"Ah, how could I have forgotten to introduce myself properly," there's a soft glow that seems to be coming from his back for just a moment, before a set of four wings appear on his back as a small ring of the same light shimmers above his head, "You see, I happen to be an angel."
“Of Course! Of Course! We have Gods and Demons and Slenderman, Why not have an Angel thrown into the mix!” Knight laughs.
"Okay, an angel. How do you intend to help? You seem rather kind," Luna says, "Also I apologize for my friend here, we've been through a lot, as you probably know. A lot of trauma."
"It's quite alright, I understand the kind of stress that can bring to a person," Gabriel watches Knight a little bit, his demeanor not changing, "And as for how I intend to help, as an angel I'm allowed a wide array of abilities. I can keep many high level threats away from harming your group, as well as defuse situations with no harm coming to either parties, which seems important when it comes to your string of problems involving possession and your friends being controlled."
“Like you could keep Dolos away,” Knight drawls, “I just don’t trust you! Last time someone who appeared good showed up while me and Luna were here, Harmonia got shot a few days later!”
"Okay, so you're able to keep us sane? What's in it for you? Like I believe Blossom offered a similar deal, a stalemate and temporary protection for Terminal. Is there a price for your protection?"
"I see, Knight..." A small frown flickered on Gabriel's face, "Allow me a chance is all I ask, I don't expect trust from you, but I'd like to help. And as for cost, it depends if you see getting to know you as a cost, the case of your group is interesting to me, and i'd love to learn more."
"I mean I'm perfectly fine with it, but alas, there's more people than just me in this house," Luna says, as a scream rings out, coming from the roof. It's Cole's voice. Who else, honestly, "What the??"
“Damn it, Cole,” Knight groans.
"Oh dear," Gabriel looks up, curious and concerned.
"Erm, pardon me Gabriel. I'm just gonna..." Luna reappears on the roof in sight of Gabriel, almost instantly, and Cole would feel the sense of peace from before, as Luna says, "Yo Cole, what the fuck you screaming about, my fucking ears.."
"I don't fucking care about your god damn ears right now," Cole's lower half is covered in frost as he is heavily breathing, pissed, his eyes glowing purple.
"...rude. Well what's gotten you so pissed off this time?"
"Spider doesn't fucking believe that Harmonia is alive, let alone Thrall, and all I saw was red I fucking threw Spider down the hall and they disappeared."
"...I mean Knight doesn either. And to be fair, how much bullshit has been thrown at us? Illusions placed on us to torture, to break us psychologically. I don't blame them for being wary, especially after everything Dolos, Abaddon, and King has pulled on us. It's not your fault, it's not anyone's fault aside from our enemies." Luna says this with a calm but focused voice, as if trying a new way to use her focus.
"That's the fucking thing, Spider tried to fight Thrall, god I just want to prove that they are fucking alive!"
"...Just give them time. I do not blame them for it. We know that they're real. That all of our friends were revived aside from that Aesop dude. It might just take some extra time for Spider and Knight." Luna's voice is overflowing with control and confidence.
"We won't have fucking time if Spider kills Harmonia!! Christ, the fucking bitch growled at them when all they did was yawn."
"Please. I need you to calm down. Anger isn't going to help anyone. Spider won't harm Harmonia. Right now, we need to be patient as she rests up and gets her strength back."
"What the fuck do you think I'm trying to do???" 6 foot tall spikes form from the frost around Cole.
"Not to mention, I believe Spider will be out for the count tomorrow. It's a super new moon...jesus dude. Take a deep breath. Focus on your heart rate. Bring it down, focus on something else, like your husband." Cole takes a deep breath and grabs the ring on his finger, closing his eyes. The spikes lower and dissipate the frost, slowly returning to Cole.
"I'm calm. I am calm."
"You are calm. Cool as a cucumber."
"Calm, I'm very calm," Cole lets go of the ring and opens his eyes, the purple glow gone, his eyes looking normal, "Ah, much better. Now I have to go say sorry to Thrall and Harmonia.. I kinda had a outburst. Luckily, I could control my fucking ice."
"Okay. Good luck." Luna smiles, softly. With a sigh of relief, Luna climbs down from the roof.
“Just to make things crystal clear you feathery feck, I Do Not Trust You,” Knight sneers at Gabriel.
"I understand, knight. May we please refrain from insults, though?" He looks at Knight, completely understandingly.
“No.”
"Why's that, then?" he sighs.
“I don’t trust you!”
"Um, I'm going to head back inside. Too cold out here. Thank you for stopping by Gabriel." Luna says, after having jumped down, landing on both feet. She waves goodbye then heads back inside where it's warm.
“Bye,” Knight says, heading inside. Gabriel nods and waves to the both of them, before a white glow and he's gone.
