"......yeah." Lex replied.

"....no." he then corrected himself.

"I don't know." he mumbled.

"...Lilim's gone." he told her.

He then proceeded to inform his sister as to what had happened while she was out.

"...so yeah, she left." he said.

"And I don't know if what I said caused her to leave or not."

"....huh?" he muttered.

He looked through it all, and saw his name repeatedly.

And it seemed like it had been put there, each time, with great care and attention.

"What...?' he asked, sitting up a little and continuing to stare.

"What... what does that mean...?" he asked himself.

"....." he was then silent, before thinking about Lilim.

All he could hope... was that she was all right.

Alex was stunned.

Frozen in place.

All he could do was stare at the place where Lilim had just been, in silence.

"......................" he caught his breath in his throat, before just slowly making his way to the room that she'd been using, making his way to the bed that she'd been using, and sitting down on it.

"...idiot." was all he could mumble to himself, before he just laid back and decided to... do nothing.

Lex froze when he heard that last part.

And every single synapse in his body started firing at full force. All sorts of signals were going here there and everywhere, and he had NO idea what to make of it all.

And that's when his mouth moved.

It moved and it said what was on his mind, with no filter at all.

"No!" he exclaimed.

"No, you can't disappear!" he said.

"I love you too much!" he then blurted out.

Lex's heart sank when he heard that.

"W-wait..." he said.

"Lilim, wait, he told her, as he looked towards her.

[b]"Aimee'll be fine. That was guaranteed. And... and Francis shouldn't go after her-" he went on, before pausing.

"...but you're right. He could very well break the rules..." he admitted.

"But... but where will you go?" he asked.

"It won't be safe for you out there." he reasoned, almost not believing what he was hearing.

"If you leave, it's all but guaranteed you'll fall victim to him once more, and there wouldn't be anyone there to help..." he mumbled further.

"............" both Uriel and Lex were silent, before Uriel sighed.

"I'm heading upwards." he told Lex.

"Take care of her in the meantime." he finished, before disappearing in a pillar of light.

Lex just sighed when Uriel left, before going to his sister, gently hefting her onto his back, and carting her up the stairs, towards her room.

He made his way inside, before laying Aimee down on the bed and putting the covers over her and making sure she would be comfortable. Once he was sure she was, he left the room, shutting the door behind him.

"...damn it all." he cursed.

"At least that should be the end of it... I hope..." he mumbled, his sister's frightened expression haunting his mind at the moment.

"Thank you." Lex said to the woman.

"Indeed." Uriel agreed.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you." he then apologised to her.

"But you were the only one I could think of that could help." he told her.

"...well... help her without it being traumatic." he then clarified.

"If... that makes sense..."

"Good." Uriel responded.

"At least there's that." he said.

"Oh?" Lex asked.

Uriel then proceeded to explain what he'd said and done to Francis.

"So, it seems that his owner knows better than to mess with the archangels." he concluded.

".........huh." Lex muttered.

"That... DOES make me feel a lot better, yeah." he admitted.

Lex just sighed.

"...I see." he said.

"That's... I just..." he muttered, but just sighed again.

"It's not your fault." Uriel said.

"Isn't it?" Lex asked in response.

"All this is because I'm trying to protect Lilim." he told him.

"This IS because of me."

Uriel looked over to the newcomer, and nodded.

"Yes." he said.

"Come, Alex." he told Lex.

"But-" Lex started to argue, before he paused and sighed.

"Right." he said.

He then looked towards Aimee and gave her a hug.

"I'll just be in the next room." he told her. "I promise." he said.

"Don't worry, she's in good hands." Uriel commented with a small smie.

Lex was... angry.

But he didn't let it show.

All he knew was that his sister was hurt, and scared.

And he could guess as to what happened.

"I suppose that solidifies things." he said.

"Not necessarily." Uriel replied.

"I get the feeling this was the LAST time."

Uriel was just silent, before he gently lifted his wife in his arms. Once he did, he carried her out of the alley and looked around, seeing nobody there.

Once he determined nobody was watching, or nobody would see, he scooped up the bag she had, as well as her phone, and they disappeared from where they were, appearing in the den of Aimee's home.

Where Lex was as well.

And when he saw them, his face paled.

"No..." he whispered.

"Not again..." he said, as Uriel laid Aimee down on one of the couches.

"..." Uriel was silent, before bringing her close to him, and holding her.

He didn't know what to say here.

Was there anything he COULD say here?

Perhaps silence was better.

So he just held her close, and sent a mental message to someone.

The only person he could think of right now that could fully heal Aimee.

"....." Uriel was silent as he saw Aimee start to cry.

"Aimee?" he asked.

"What's wrong?" he asked her.

'...did he do more damage than I thought?' he then asked himself mentally.

If so, what was the damage? Physical? Mental? Emotional?

All he knew was the woman he loved was crying, and he didn't like it. It filled him with anger and sadness.

And he wondered if there was anything he could do here.
