The air was so stiff it was nearly suffocating. Ever since the light died down, it was hard to tell what had happened next.
Raz was looking back and forth between the front door and the window anxiously, looking for any signs of their return. Marion was in his arms, a little frightened with a small whimper, but otherwise calmed down.
"I'm sure if something was wrong, it would look a lot more dire out there," Skywise noted. "...they're... probably fine."
His assumption was confirmed when a figure popped up at the window, surprising Raz. Quickly, he opened the window and let Fletcher in, winded, obviously, but otherwise in fine shape.
"'Ello," he greeted to the others lightly, as if nothing had happened. "We're back. The others are on their way up. Just thought I'd drop in and deliver the news faster."

"We saw a beam of light," Masahiro said. "I felt Edward's death before, but now it's gone. Explain to me what happened." Quite thoroughly, Masahiro was confused. Like a cat, he needed to understand what was happening lest it would haunt him forever.

"....I'm fine, Masahiro."
The door had opened, held out by Ed happliy as Double D slowly walked in, Felix in his arms. Others filed in behind him quietly, but he approached the angel, smiling sheepishly.
"Sorry to have worried you."
(note that his wings aren't visible yet)

"... Something seems different about you," Masahiro said in a matter-of-factly way. "Felix I can understand; he had to unlock the Twilight potential. However... something seems odd about the aura around you."

Double D paused in hesitation, letting Fleetfoot take Felix out of his arms and into bed for rest. Eventually, he sighed.
"Well, I guess there's no point in hiding it..."
With some concentration and a little grunt, he forced his brand-new wings into the open, letting them settle gently. To understate, those who hadn't seen them were wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
"Holy~!" Raz gasped. "You... you got wings!!"

To say he was amazed, fascinated, shocked, confused... All words would be an understatement for Masahiro's reaction. His mouth hung open, nonsense incomprehensible in nature sputtering from it. His eyes were wide with an unknown emotion, something between speechlessness and a conflicted idolism, which would go against the commandments as he would be idolizing something other then God. "H-How?" It was all he could get out in his state.

Double D couldn't help but giggle a little at Masahiro's reaction. Perceval walked around him in awe, gently touching the ends of each feather with a squeak of giddiness.
"You're right in assuming he was killed," Fletcher began to explain. "Lucifer landed a killing blow on him. We all thought he was gone, but..."
"... then he started to bleed white and this light came down and he hovered in the air and his wounds healed and he sprouted wings and this voice called him the Angel the Light and...!" Ed was rushing in one breath like an excited five-year-old.
"Pretty much!" Eddy grinned. "And him and Felix kicked the CRAP out of Lucifer! It was AWESOME!!"
Sheepishly blushing, Double D rubbed the back of his neck. But his expression rapidly changed at a bright, scared, and loving cry.
"Daddy!!!"
He quickly turned to the source, where Marion, in Nazz's arms by now, was reaching out to her father, which at one moment she thought dead.
"Marion...!"

Masahiro decided to keep his mouth shut. He wanted to voice the impossibility of Double D becoming an Angel of Light, but... the proof was in his face. And he didn't want to ruin an amazing family moment, so... "I take it, since you're here, you're a Guardian Angel now then?"

"Yes... that's correct," Double D answered, bringing a whimpering Marion into his arms for comfort. "Shhh... shh, it's okay, I'm here..."
"She caterwauled when we thought you were dead," Skywise explained. "...I imagine she felt it happen. She stopped crying soon after, when that light appeared."
"...I see."
"Ooh! Ooh!" Ed grinned happily. "Tell them who you're Guarding, Double D!!"
"...ah, yes, of course," Double D nodded. As Marion cuddled nicely into his arms silently, comforted by her father's presence, he turned to Masahiro. "Going to Heaven and leaving all of you was out of the question, so... I was assigned to protect Perceval." He smiled at Masahiro gently. "This way... we can fully protect our charges... without the worry for those we care most about. It's the least I could do in return for protecting my daughter."

All angels had some effeminate traits to them... Even Masahiro. As much as he tried to remain cool, sometimes they showed. When Double D stated everything would be fine and... Perceval was his charge, Masahiro's knees gave way and he fell with them crossed out behind him in an almost relieved manner. "Thank god," he said softly.

"Whoop!" Double D gently caught him, making sure he didn't hit the ground too hard. "Steady..."
"Masahiro!" Perceval gasped, looking up at Double D in confusion. Without thinking twice, he asked, "Qu-est-ce que c'est?"
And without batting an eye, Double D replied, "Il est bien. Il est seulement soulagé..." He gave Percy a sweet smile. "...que celui qu'il aime ait son propre ange le gardant maintenant."
Instantly, Perceval's face lit up brighter than the sun. Laughing in glee, he hugged them both close happily.
"I knew he'd be happy," Fletcher noted to Trevor beside him with a grin. "Looks like Eddward was given the French tongue upon becoming his Guardian, in order to effective communicate with his charge."

"That's good. It'd be hard to protect your charge if you weren't able to understand his screams of help... though the screaming would be a dead giveaway, but hey... Language is knowledge, knowledge is power, and power is GOOD!" Trevor said dramatically.
"That's a huge burden off my shoulders," Masahiro admitted. "I was afraid of a day I might have to sacrifice Perceval for Marion, but now it'll never have to come."

"...right," Fletcher shook his head in dismay, smirking.
"Right." Double D smiled. "I'm glad. This is all so new for me, but... I'm glad everything's falling into place. Especially after the madness of what's been happening lately."

"Well here's something you'll be happy to hear," Masahiro said. "Our author has fallen into a deep depression. He'll be too busy dealing with his own problems to make problems for us."
"Is that necessarily good though?" Trevor asked. "In retrospect, that's a pretty evil thing to say, don't you think?"

"How dreadful," Double D frowned. "I certainly hope he bounces back from that."
Michiko nodded in agreement. "Our author really cares for him too."
Fletcher nodded. "Plus they've got plans for me later..." A beat later, he paused. "...wait... what!? How'd I...!?"
