there is no darkness-- || Belial & Satan
Other demons might not believe it, or choose to understand how Belial's mind worked, but he was a paranoid mother fucker. If it wasn't a top of the line security system, it was a group of hooligans who hung out on the street corner every night. Paid in booze, and drugs that helped them navigate the underground, and keep Belial's interests safe. This time the extra money he'd spent on the security system at his place in Vegas seemed to pay off, because within seconds of the front door being opened without his permission, Belial got an alert on his phone. One look at the handy-dandy security camera, and he was off.
In a fraction of the time it would've taken him to drive, Belial was arriving to the penthouse he hadn't seen in months. From the very moment he entered the building, he caught signs of his interloper throughout the hallways. A bloody hand here, a splash of blood there, and it all lead to his penthouse at the very tippy-top. Belial had to hand it to the demon, his stubborn streak was as miraculous now as it'd been millennia before, but the knowledge that Satan had come to his place, above all others, created a small frisson of promise that raced down his spine as he opened the battered door and found an even more battered body at his feet.
“Oh, darling. The least you could’ve done is clean up after yourself.” Belial let out a delighted little laugh at his personal joke, and crouched down beside Satan’s unconscious head, tilting his own to the side as he took in the state of affairs, cataloging each and every wound on Stan’s form. Only one other creature in the world would have the power to best Satan in such a way, and he let out a soft chuckle, “What are we going to do with you?”
