Angel was asleep -- which was about the only time she felt comfortable leaving him alone.  It wasn’t necessarily in her job description to save him from herself, but she never pretended to be anything but a perfectionist.  He wasn’t going to die on her watch, even by his own dumbassery. In an extremely boring turn of events she found herself using the unexpected down time to hit the agency's gym.  She was just finishing her third lap around the track when she heard the door open.  New York had an obscene amount of them -- too much privilege and paranoia.  It could have been anyone, but when she saw Riley she swallowed, fighting off the urge to stop.  She offered them a small smile as she breezed past.   It was unprofessional, the thoughts she had when she was around them.  It was unprofessional the handful of times they’d slipped up, and it would continue to be unprofessional the next time they did it.  Because they were nothing if not consistent.  But god -- she could look respectfully while they worked out without breaking any rules, right?

Angel tested her patience on a daily basis.  Most of the other guards she knew had a charge who genuinely probably would have been just fine without them -- but not Angel.  He got himself into a life-threatening situation on a daily, sometimes it felt like hourly, basis.  It kept her on her toes, there was no denying that; but she could use a vacation.

“Angel,” she called from the other side of his door.  As frustrating as she found him, literally on a daily basis, he was genuinely one of her best friends -- guarding him was a full time job, but she liked doing it.  She liked making sure he was safe, because the world could use more people who were unapologetically themselves.  “If you’re naked cover up, because I’m coming in.”  Without looking at him she pushed through the door, flipping the lights on and grabbing a few pieces of clothing he had scattered around the room to throw to him.  “Come on.  You’re going to be late to class, and since it’s raining and I can’t take my bike, that means I’m going to be late to class.  I need a ride.  Let’s go.”  When he didn’t move she grabbed a pillow and smacked him with it gently.  “Come on.  I can’t be late for my labs.”
