Work Text:
The hotel was oddly quiet, the chaos from the past few days seemingly passed. Vaggie knew better if her years as an exorcist have taught her anything it was to never let her guard down. Maybe that’s why while everyone was out having fun with their new “allies” she was sitting in the lobby lost in thought. There was something really off in her mind about that “company” if you could even call it that IMP. After they joined them in the fight against heaven they formed some sort of friendship. Vaggie couldn’t help however but feel on edge around them. Especially that one imp blitzø. Vaggie remembers perfectly her first interaction with him.
(A month ago)
HI!! IM BLITZØ THE O IS SILENT AND IM THE ONE WHO FOUNDED IMP!! The tall imp shouted out while shaking Vaggie's hand. Vaggie felt herself flinch god did he have to yell while she was right in front of him. Yeah.. I’m Vaggie it’s- nice to meet ya. OHH VAGOOBA!! BRING IT HERE!!
Vaggie gasped loudly as blitzø pulled her in for a tight embrace to tight for Vaggie. You're Charlie’s bottom aren’t you?? The badass angel that turned your back against the first daddy dick himself!!
Blitzø yaps to her talking on and on about Adam, how cool it was and how “badass” she was however Vaggie is finding it hard to pay attention to what he’s saying, her mind wandering when Adam and the term “daddy” is brought up. Memories of her earlier years back when she considered Adam a father, her only father figure she’s had something never really brought up when it came to the exorcists was how Adam practically raised them Raised her.
She must have been lost in her own mind for awhile to the point blitzø let go of the embrace calling out her name over and over snapping Vaggie back* Vagooba?!!! not even close to her name in her book. Sorry- I- I was lost in thought for a moment. Vaggie says she’s quick to shake the memories away
(Back to present time)
Vaggie felt herself lost in the memory, so lost she didn’t notice the taller figure walking over to her out of the corner of her eye she sees a hand reaching out DANGER DANGER her mind yelling at her anxiety and fear taking over. She jumps from her spot on the couch holding out her spear towards the dark figure. She can barely see through the tears that start to fall. NO.. IT CANT BE HIM… HE’S DEAD.. fear fear fear only fear all around her.
A large hand reaches out to her a soft gentle touch, something she never felt when Adam would touch her shoulder. That was always harsh and angry this different? She looks up her eyes finally meeting the taller figure only now does she notice this frame was much bigger than Adam. This figure had large red eyes looking at her with concern. She notices her vision finally clearing and an unfamiliar voice but soft and gentle feeling so far away but close at the same time.
Hey, hey, it’s ok I’m not going to hurt you I promise. The voice so gentle she drops her spear as she finally recognizes who it is.
Vassago
One of the goetia demons who came to visit the hotel alongside IMP. He seemed to be one of the more gentle goetias not as harsh as the others that came to visit a few months ago. She immediately apologizes profusely for being so startled*
Holy- I’m so sorry- I didn’t realize who was there I- assumed I was the only one here- Vaggie pauses noticing vassago shaking his head offering her a soft smile.
Hey it’s ok, I didn’t mean to scare you I was looking for Charlie but it seems she’s out with blitzø promoting the hotel and IMP. You doing ok Vaggie?
His voice so gentle and kind she almost feels she’s undeserving of his gentle kind words, especially since she aimed her spear at him*
I’m- I’m ok.. just a lot on my mind is all. I’m- so sorry for getting so nervous- I thought you were-
Before Vaggie can even say Adam’s name vassago shakes his head
Hey hey don’t worry, it’s not your fault, we all have a past. But it’s not your fault don’t push yourself to talk about it if your uncomfortable I understand truely
Vaggie feels taken aback by his words she wipes the left over tears on her face turning to look at vassago with a soft smile
Just feeling so lost.. I’m so used to bottling up my feelings rather than talking about them. Whenever I think about the past all I want to do is cry.
Vaggie feels surprised by her own words starting to open up to someone who’s not Charlie was not easy her gaze on vassago worried how he’ll react but before she can fall into her anxious thoughts he speaks*
Sometimes even opening up a little at a time can help small bits at a time. But if you ever need someone to talk to I’m always here to listen. You're a good kiddo you’ve gone through more then probably I know but you're strong and you’ve got a spark and that’s something no one can take from you even Adam. He’s gone, you can make your own story your own destiny. No one can take that from you.
Vassago’s words are sweet and gentle, a kind of tone Vaggie rarely hears outside of Charlie; she never opens up or talks about these things. She feels tears roll down her cheeks but not for sadness this time but for happiness. She takes a leap of fath with her next action pulling vassago into a tight hug vassago quickly wraps his arms around Vaggie tightly. Rocking her back and forth in his arms allowing vaggie’s tears to fall. They stay like that for a moment before vassago speaks
I'm proud of you kid
