*he adjusts the lock with the key so she doesn't move it to much*

*I gently wipe her tears with my thumb, my expression softening completely.* There now. It's okay. *I pick up the remote and point to the TV.* How about we find a nice movie to watch together?

*grinning* his reputation and that stupid radio show of his

*My gaze softens as I look at her, the cold fury from moments ago replaced by pure paternal worry.* She will be. *My voice is low, protective.* I won't let anyone hurt her again.

*nods* good. nobody messes with your kid

*tenses, pulling her slightly closer* Ah, the elite... *voice drops to barely audible* Let's just get through the paperwork, sweetheart.

*stiffens* They might.

*the daughters of Sage Leona Libby Scarlet Adora Clover Cassie Gemma Piper Astra Vega Tessa look at his daughter*

*grips her shoulder protectively* Stand tall, sweetheart. *voice barely steady* They can smell fear.

*straightens shoulders* I won't give them the satisfaction *voice wavers slightly*

That's my brave girl. *voice cracks* Stay close.

*grips her shoulder protectively* Stand tall, sweetheart. *voice barely steady* They can smell fear.

*after the orientation the kids are told that they must head towards their dorms*

Dorms? *grip tightens on her hand* Wait, they don't mentioned this before... *voice strained* Do they?

*straightens his tie nervously* You look wonderful, sweetheart. *voice catches slightly* Ready to face this new adventure together?

*takes his hand* Together. *squeezes* Even if those kids are total snobs

*chokes out a laugh* Language, sweetheart! *eyes soften* But yeah... even then.

*deadly smile vanishes, replaced by pure lethal rage* You touch my daughter? *golden hellfire explodes outward* I'll carve your souls into decorations for my throne!

*voice urgent* Luci, look! They captured our daughter! *Golden form flickers desperately* Luci, they're not just posing as exorcists... *voice urgent* They're wearing the feathers from our wings like armor! *voice breaking* Our baby girl... *golden eyes widen in horror* Luci! They're reaching for Charlie!

*wings spread wide, golden hellfire blazing* Touch her and I'll burn your souls to ash!

*before they both get all cozy he puts her barney pj's on her*

*His eye twitches. He stares down at the offending garment, his expression darkening from relief to pure, cold fury. He gently pulls the blanket higher, hiding the awful print from sight.* We'll burn those later, sweetheart. *His voice is a low, venomous whisper meant only for her ears.*

*he goes to his office to do a lot of paperwork*

*grins proudly* He's very wise, you know. *hugs Barney* And he's very good at keeping secrets!

*He leans in, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper.* A wise and silent partner in crime. *He smiles, his gaze full of warmth.* I trust him completely. Your secrets are safe with both of us.

*he gets up for his job as a school teacher and she's in he's class*

*His eyes widen for a fraction of a second. He quickly masks his surprise, his expression becoming a perfectly neutral, professional mask as he addresses the class.* Alright, everyone, settle down. *His gaze pointedly avoids her, focusing instead on the entire room.* Let's begin.

*slides into a back seat, avoiding his eyes* *fidgets with pencil case, stealing quick glances when he's not looking*
