Reluctant Redemption AU Alastor getting hit with the axe. He falls and Adam laughs. Only for two sets of wings to claw their way out of Alastor's back. One at the tailbone and one on the top half of the shoulder blades. Adam's stunned but goes back to attack. Alastor gets away through his shadows. Holy power from ascending and his frequency going out of wack destroys the drones before they can see the wings. All Soul contracts are voided. Husk and Nifty call out that Alastor is dead. Charlie and Vox thinks Alastor is dead. There is a sense of doom and hopelessness.
Alastor is able to pull himself together and comes back to the fight after a getting his bearings and he realizes that his contract is broken. There's nothing holding his power back. And he's got a man to kill for touching what's his and thinking he'll survive just because he got a lucky shot in a de-powered Radio Demon.
Alastor shadows on to the scene just before Charlie can deflect Adam in Lucifer's arms.
He's in kaiju form while he catches Adam by his wings like a fly. Livid is an understatement. Alastor has never felt so murderous. There is a burning in his head. It builds and builds until the back of his skull explodes, releasing another set of wings. He is blinded in both his eyes on his face, he can feel tears of blood pour down his cheeks. But he can still see. As his third set of wings expand outwards more and more eyes open in burning fury, peeking out between his feathers in nauseating pools of colors and shapes.
He turned his eyes to look at Charlie's. Tiny thing. Somehow, the tiny king can hold her up while flying. But that doesn't matter now. He's able to defend her just fine. His other hand scoops the two out of the air and drags them against his left breast, over his heart, where he can guard her. His eyes sweep the frozen battlefield and he decided to just not deal with this anymore. He's bleeding from an angelic wound over his heart, he's got his whole back messed up, his skull is a pounding mess of viscera and fire, and his face was covered in tears of golden blood.
He wasn't even smiling! His stitches came out! How dare! He's not fully dressed like this! He needed to end this and leave.
Which is why he spikes Adam to the ground. Thank fuck that Nifty runs over and stabs him with angelic steal a few times. Seems at least she's having fun.
I love this! Alastor might not be smiling anymore but I am!
I'm imagining feral Alastor trying to leave, still clutching Charlie who cries when she realises that the golden blood she is currently soaked in is Alastor's and he almost got killed protecting her Hotel just like Sir Pentious and Dazzle. Lucifer regains his bearings and manages to wiggle his way out of the ascended's grip, starts sputtering about "What in Father's name happened? Since when did Red Guy have wings? Hey, Red Guy, don't ignore me! Your chest is split open how are you still alive?! Oh, Char-Char, please stop crying- it's okay-"
Lucifer's words trail off as Alastor, hearing Charlie's sobs, starts nuzzling her and... grooming her like a mother deer? Lucifer is weirded out but also feels warm fuzzies that he hadn't felt since Lilith left-
Maggie and Musk interrupt his train of thought, something about how Alastor is clearly not thinking straight (feral soul?) and needs medical attention. Oh right, he can do that! Easy-peasy lemon squeasy!
Half an hour later, Vox bluescreens when after a mini breakdown thinking his old friend had been killed, he gets sent an unglitched image of a dozing angelic Alastor, shirt still caked in dried gold blood.
