After finishing his smoke, Nick came back in to see a demonic looking door and Skye trying to hold Evan back. "Okay, I'll bite, what did I miss?" Nick asked, staring at the door quizzically. Every instinct he had told him the darn thing was bad news. "Look, I know I probably shouldn't jump the gun here, but I don't like the feel of this thing." He said, walking forward, instinctively reaching out to touch the door, a white glow came from his hand before Nick was violently repulsed. "Ow." He groaned, looking up from his spot on the floor to see white chains over the creepy looking "door" if it could be considered such. "Huh, Holy Powers actually work." The Assassin mused.

"Eh, I suppose that's what I get for trying to interfere. Screw it, have fun kid, don't summon anything that might kill us all." Nick said from his spot on the floor. If Evan was just going to nullify the magic stuff he had put up like it was nothing, forget it, Nick was done trying to stop the kid. Hopefully everything worked out, because he had no idea how to play Exorcist and send demons back to Hell or wherever they came from.

"Marcus, if I try that Holy thing again, but this time with bullets, will I regret that decision? It is your place after all." Nick asked, standing up again. It seemed that everything was teetering between letting Evan go through the spooky door and not letting him. Then there was the Holy Chains thing that Evan straight up nulled, but maybe that was to be expected, maybe he hadn't exerted enough force.

Wasting no time after Marcu's flashy stunt, Nick drew his sidearm and started firing at the door, each shot glowing white as it impacted. Nick continued firing until he ran dry, panting, he was still unused to that whole magic thing. "That was sixteen shots, do I need to reload and fire again?" Nick asked, reaching to his belt for another magazine.

The door reacted to the bullets as they glowed and formed new, larger white chains. The door glowed a bright purple before dissolving into data once more and returning to Evan. Evan made a loud gasp as his eyes turned back to normal before falling to his knees. He coughed as he grabbed the handle of the spear and used it for support to stand up. The spear glowed before the glow moved from the spear up his arm making his tribal making longer and adding a skull to the back of his left shoulder blade. "Woah...what happened?"

Marcus reappeared and sighed as he watched the events. "That...was your father you tried to call upon...but he said you are not ready to yet use his powers." He said before smiling. "But all in all, you guys worked together in order to protect a stranger. Perhaps ya'll have hope then."

The difference between the good guys and the bad guys

Is whether they use a human shield or make themselves one.

Marcus sighed as a bubble rose next to his head before freezing and forming the face of the woman from his summon. She whispered something to him before turning to snow. "No, we should be fine. My icy friend says that no demon will come near us seeing as how they know who this kid is now." He said smiling. "That door belonged to one of the three demons the order struck down and bound and Evan's dad. The demons know not to touch this kid." He said as he yawned.

Evan nodded to Joe before standing up. "Yeah...I saw my dad." He said as he pulled the spear out of the ground before looking it over. "This...this should be back at home." He said as he ran his fingers over the skull. "I used to practice with this all the time." He said smiling before gasping. "Mother is going to kill me!" He said gulping. "T-this isn't supposed to leave the temple." He sighed before smiling and yawning. "That did take a lot out of me..." He said yawning as the spear glowed purple and turned into data before being adsorbed into his hands.

Marcus chuckled at Evan before looking at the wall where the door was. "I think we all need to turn in. It has been a long day, especially for most of you." He said as he stretched and turned to the door. "Like I said before...you all are welcome to stay the night here." He said before leaving the room. "If the demons know and the old chains were busted...then that means the angel gates may be weakening...:"

((villain time!!))

Mare stared out onto the city form his balcony of his office. He toke a deep breath before smiling as someone knocked on his door. "Enter..." The man said as the door opened.

"Mr. Mare....Sorry for the intrusion, but I have news." A voice said as a tall man dressed as a priest in Holy garments walked out onto the balcony. He had a long gray beard and hair with a golden streak running along the side of his hair. "The Seraph of Death, Zalera. His door has vanished from paradise and the original chains have been broken..." The man said softly as he looked out onto the city. "However, new bindings have been felt being placed on the door...the demon has not touched down onto the Earth. The Angels are enraged and confused. The Vatican is in high alert." He said calmly looking to Mare.

Mare smiled. "Father Morrison, Raymond...do you smell that night air?" He said as he toke another breath. "It smells of....Divine and Demonic Intervention." He said chuckling. "We now know that the Demon Keeper and The Holy One have found each other, and if my suspicions are correct, then the Holy One will be a mere mercenary of whom I have done business with." He said smirking to his reference to Nick. "How goes the search for the Flower Child?" He asked looking to the old priest.

Morrison ran his right hand down his beard and raised an eyebrow. "The Jungle ruffian? No reports or sightings have been detected...We are beginning to think that this child is not in the city and our forces cannot navigate the dense jungles of the green nation. My angels cannot spot the cities of that nation from above. It's as if the trees have moved to hide them from sight." He said as he pulled out a golden comb and ran it through his hair. "And the roots stretch so far down we cannot dig under the trees...so out Drillers are useless."

Mare sighed. "Fine....I'll get in contact with our Red Executive and get him to burn a path through the forest. We've taken over many of these smaller cities from the inside out. the pressure many of you are putting on them is allowing me to place many smaller branches everywhere. Soon it won't even matter..." He said smiling, "Then the Vatican can succeed in doing what its always wanted. Bringing order to the world."
