[Well at least none of them got stuck in Heaven or the Abyss]

[Silver lining]

Wait, God's MIA, too?

Yes. Mehniel didn't seem to know if he was dead, fallen, or went out to grab smokes and never came back.

Great.

Don't look too upset about it. That just means the throne really is vacant for C to fill.

One less step on the to-do list, huh?

Joker's going to be so sad he's not going to get to fight God. I hope I get to be the one to tell him.

You could show up there right now. Make your dreams come true.

I'll wait until Nine-Nine gets back. I'm sure they are all complaining about his stupidity at the moment.

Sounds about right.

Exactly.

Now what was this about the rules of Heaven?

Oh, uh. There were seven of em. They were like...

One. Live to serve the lord?
Two. Fight against hell, like, hardcore.
Three. Don't turn your back to a demon or compromise with one.
Four. Honor your brothers and sisters in battle.
Five. Save every soul you can.
Six. Don't suffer a demon to live.
And seven was like, love with everything you got.

[Looks genuinely unimpressed]

. . .

Do you know if that was a priority ranking or not?

Not a clue. Sorry, dude.

Whatever. I'll add them to the notes in case someone else runs into a different angel.

We'll see if they work like a passcode.

Kay.

[Pauses, hesitating. Then:]

There's, uh. One more thing.

[. . .

That's isn't a good face, Hurricane]

What?

He said he pitied me, cause I was gonna die an excruciating death.

That's the fate of those who fall. The final death, when you're struck down to burn for a thousand years.

. . .

[THE FUCK!?]

And when does this happen?

When Hell loses, or when my willpower breaks. Whichever happens first.

We're going to fix--

[Gestures toward Hurricane's heart]

--this--

--before that happens.

Or I take over Hell and then Hell never loses this stupid fucked up powerplay game. Got it?

Either way, that's not happening to you. Over my dead and damned body.

...you really mean the whole taking over hell thing, huh.

100%. There's no way I'm going to leave this fuckfest behind to fester just so it can do the same shit again in a thousand years.

So, what, depose the monarchy, build a summer home on the burning lake...?

That all depends what this place is actually used for. An unnecessarily elaborate set-up like this probably has a reason behind it. Even if it's a stupid one.

So you're gonna keep it running?
