"..............." Jake was silent as he saw what he did, and heard what she said.

"I... ah..." he stammered, before Azazel approached from around a corner.

He was then silent, before locking eyes with Sierra.

"Woah!" he exclaimed.

"Sierra?" he asked, making his way over towards her.

"What are YOU doing here?"

Tyson just sighed.

"I was." he replied.

"Let's leave it at that for now." he finished.

Jake was silent as he saw the person before him.

"Ah..." he stammered.

"Hold on, hold on, hold on." he said.

"What threat?" he asked.

"Do you mean from YOU?" he asked her further.

"I'll need more info before I just let you in." he told her.

Tyson just sighed.

"I see." he replied.

"Well, lucky me then. I suppose." he said.

"...murdered you?" Azazel then asked.

"Yeah. You remember what I am, right?" Tyson asked in response. "I know you're new to meeting people here in the building, but it's hard to forget my circumstances. Or so people have told me." he added.

"...ah! Right." Azazel remembered, looking at Roxie.

"He's a Regenerator." he told her.

"..............." Ty was silent for a good moment.

"I... see." he said.

"Well, explains the natural sort of attraction you seem to exude." he told her.

"You're familiar with them?" Azazel asked.

"Intimately." Tyson responded.

"Many a succubus has murdered me in the past." he told him.

Tyson nodded in response.

"I see." he replied.

"Well, that is always something we can use." he commented.

"What do you bring to the table?" he asked her. "How do you gather your information?" he asked.

As they spoke, Roxie could tell that this was a man that had been through a lot. It seemed he was currently on the road to happiness after being off the path for a while... but she could snag him.

And it wouldn't be hard, either.

Odds were that he would be one of her easiest victims, if she were to attempt it. In fact, she noticed that her abilities seemed to be 'crying out' to snag him.

Azazel just sighed.

"Yeah." he said.

"I know." he told her, as Tyson turned a corner, and started to walk towards them.

As he did, he looked up and saw them.

"Hey." he greeted them.

"Hey." Azazel replied.

"This is Roxie. She's new." he said, introducing the succubus.

"Agent Tyson King." Ty introduced himself to her.

Azazel nodded as she spoke, before freezing at her question.

And his face turned red.

"Ah... I... uh... well..." he mumbled.

"No... yes... maybe... kinda... sorta." he said.

"I mean, there IS someone..." he told her.

"I don't think she knows how I feel, though..." he admitted.

"I need to tell her at some point, though..." he then added sheepishly and shyly.

"Oh, plenty." Azazel responded.

"There's us, demons." he told her.

"There's a human with demon blood in them, we got a dullahan, a gorgon, a lizard-folk..." he listed off.

"Hell, even Ty's unique, even though he's pure human." he then added.

"Hmmmm..." Azazel mumbled.

"Well, Miki is one to be careful around." he said.

"But just because if she touches you, she'll suddenly know all the pain you've been through in your life." he told her.

"And.... Ty." he went on.

"He's cool, but... well... he's rough and hardened." he said.

"For the most part." he continued.

"Just... he can be stand-offish."

"Pretty much." Azazel replied.

"I mean, just... yeah, pretty much." he then sighed.

"I am SO grateful to have found this place. Or, rather, grateful that they found me." he clarified.

"They've been so amazing." he said.

"Anyway, I'll show you around, and we'll finish at R&D, and then your dorm."

"Because I don't want to die." Azazel responded.

"And parading around Hell announcing that doing demon things is bad and that I refuse to do them is a very bad way of staying alive down there." he told her.

"I'm just fortunate that Liz doesn't really care about me, so as long as I stay here in the human realm, I shouldn't be attacked." he explained.

"I don't care about ranks and tiers, Roxie. You know that." he said.

"But THEY do. THAT'S the issue." he explained further.

"Besides, as you said, I am me. And this is a place where people accept me for me."

"Because I suck at being a demon." Azazel replied.

"I'm mid-tier. Lower on the scale, but mid-tier." he reminded her. "As such, certain things are expected of me, and I can't do them." he said.

"So I am a fallen demon, and ostracized as such." he continued.

"So it's best for me to just... disappear from that realm."

Sharp just sighed.

"Greaaaaat..." he growled.

"Yeah, then come on..." Azazel said.

"Let's go." he told her.

With that, they stepped out of Sharps' office, the secretary's office, and into the hall.

"And I've been out of Hell for a while." he told Roxie, answering her previous question. "Pretty much hiding out here on the surface, because I refuse to go back down there."

"It was all in the agreement you signed." Sharp told her.

"There ARE dorms, they DO lock, and you'll get your key from R&D." he listed off.

"...Hal?" Azazel asked.

"YOU two know each other?" he inquired.

"Briefly." Sharp responded.

"She'll fill you in."
