The Aftermath

After the fight Nick, Jasper, Caphire and Sapphire were taken to the hospital for immediate care for the wounds they acquired from the fight. They were all placed in the same section of the hospital since it was easier for the medical staff to keep an eye on there vitals and also because the police sent in a request of the specific placement to help with their investigation.

There were three detectives who were in charge of the investigation and those were: Detectives Ray Campbell, Skyler Lawson and River Grey. The hospital called to tell them that the "patients" were all stable enough for questioning. After arriving at the hospital the first person they questioned was Nick, the three of them stood in font of his bed in a triangle formation with Grey at the front, Campbell to his left and Lawson to his right.

They started off with introductions and asked him where they prior to the attack, as to which Nick answered saying that they were all in his house as the good friends they were.

"And how did you all end up fatally injured in the square if you were at home?" asked Detective Grey as he took notes of Nick's answers and Detective Campbell looked around the room to see the others reaction.

"Well my daughter texted me to tell me to pick her and her friend up from the square" replied Nick looking directly into Lawson's eyes "Now, for the rest of the story I prefer not to tell it since you will just call us crazy".

Jasper was hearing everything and leaned over to his left towards Caphire, he whispered to her "Hey, you know we're going to be questioned next ad we basically have to have the same alibi so they don't suspect anything"

"Yeah, well we can just tell them that the stories of Demons, Angels and Hybrids are real and that they were the ones who attacked us and there's a big possibility that they're going to be back and take over this realm. That way maybe they can prepare for a war. Almost forgot one more detail, we tell them that we're two Demons and two Angels who are casually involved in the whole ordeal"

Jasper turned away in embarrassment knowing that it was dumb on his part for asking about the alibi. Caphire looked over to Sapphire to check if she was doing alright.

"So after that message from your daughter, you all went to pick her up at the square. Now tell me why would I call you crazy? You do know that by law you HAVE to tell us exactly what happened and after that we can all move on with our lives." Detective Gray had a skeptical look.

Nick looked over at the rest before taking a deep breath and speaking "Do you believe in those stories about Demons, Angels and Hybrids? The ones from history books" He could see that he caught the attention of the detectives "the thing is, we were attacked by them and well you know the rest of the story".

Grey had a quizzical look and turned around to see if Campbell and Lawson had a similar reaction.

"You're telling us that the old campfire stories about the big bad Demons with different sigils and markings on their bodies, the good Angels always fighting for peace and the banished Hybrids who were very powerful with a bunch of markings on their body who have been extinct for almost a hundred years now, are real?" Lawson let out a small chuckle.

"If I may" Sapphire coughed and cleared her throat before continuing "It's normal that you may think it's all a lie, but the stories are all true, every single one of them. The only story that isn't true is the one about the Hybrids being extinct, they're not. A small group ran away from the great war and survived"

"Forgive our willingness to believe you, but for the past hundred years or so there hasn't been any evidence of the other realms being active or habited." Campbell looked at Grey as if asking for permission to continue, as to which he got a approving nod "So if you will, please tell the truth unless you have any evidence to prove what you say is true then show it." he went for the route of being the complacent and 'understanding' one of the trio.

Jasper was considering on showing some of his abilities to the detectives as proof but knew that in his state that would require more energy than he could give. But before saying anything he looked at the rest to see if anyone was going to do or say something.

Susan was walking down the corridor with its floor being marble and her heels clacking at each stepping, she was going to meet with Akaroz and go over the plan once again, but before reaching the room where he was her phone began to rang. She stopped to check and see who it was only for it to be an unknown number, a few seconds passed before she answered. "Who may this be?"

"Hi, I'm Ruby a nurse from Central Hospital Center calling you to confirm if you're the wife of Nick Stoll?"

"Yes that's me, Susan, if it helps. Why? Is something wrong?"

"Last night your husband was admitted to the ER with some life threatening wounds. For the moment he is stable in case you would want to come in and visit him"

-"Oh uh, thank you for informing me. I was getting really worried when he didn't arrive home" she paused and thought to herself -of course they would end up in the ER-, she continued her role as the worried spouse "Is there something else I should know about his condition?"

"Not for the moment, but there are some detectives questioning him for the cause of his wounds"

"Alright, thank you so much for calling me. I'll be right there" she hanged up.

Susan continued walking. She made to where Akaroz was and opened the door without knocking and stated "We need to talk" only after that she saw that Akaroz was accompanied by Sage, a Demon who helped out the Council with their needs.

Sage was surprised with Susan's entrance. "Well look at you girl, always so happy and good looking" they had a smirk on their face.

Akarazo was sitting on his usual chair, a leather modern wingback, he stood up and sighed "I hope this interruption has a valid range of importance, for instance the kids running away" he crossed his arms over his chest and had a monotone look.

"If going over the plan after the encounter count as important, then yes Akaroz, there is good reason." she looked over at Sage with no reaction and ignoring what he had said before. "I have to go back to the human realm to see Nick because they were taken to a Hospital and I got called"

"Very well, you shall go to the Hospital and do whatever is need to appear normal and then return so that we can talk about the plan"

Susan turned around and formed a transfer ring to the human realm.

After Susan disappeared into the ring Sage looked at Akaroz before talking. "I assume, I am to still teach the kid to use her powers?"

"You are, which means you should get a start on it now, preferably"

"Very well" Sage made a small bow and left the room.

Nick looked at the rest ans saw Jasper's look but gave him a signal with his hand to stop him form doing anything.

"I can, but I rather not at the moment if you mind" he spoke with a raspy voice.

Susan came in from the hallway and went over to Nick and hugged him as if she hadn't seen in in forever "There you are! I got worried when you didn't come home and then Addison called me to pick her up." she then hugged him again, but this time whispered into his ear "If you want this to stop then act normal and go along"

He was about to push her away but he knew better "Yeah, I'm sorry honey, I didn't want to make you worry"

Susan turned towards the officers and waved at Jasper with a friendly smile "I'm sorry for interrupting you detectives"

Grey had a doubtful look "No need to apologize ma'am. Would you mind telling who you are and what your connection is to this man?"

"A yes, forgive my bad manners, I'm Susan Stoll, his wife" she had her hands on Nick's shoulder.

"Thank you for your answer." He looked back at Nick "Do you mind giving me a reason as to why you won't provide for Demons, Angels and Hybrids existing?"

Nick felt Susan squeeze his shoulder, he tried not to react but slightly winced "For your and the people who are in this hospital's safety"

Grey sighed and whispered something to Campbell and Lawson that wasn't audible. "Very well then mister Stoll. We'll try again tomorrow" he turned to face the rest "and you will all be questioned" they all left the room.

Jasper checked to see if the detectives left before directing himself towards Susan "And what the hell are you doing here?"

"I also don't want to be here if it helps" she let go of Nick's shoulder and stood in font of the door with her arms and legs crossed "You guys really took a beating didn't you" a smile formed on her face.

"I really wonder why and how" Caphire was considering on getting of the bed and punching Susan on the face, but she knew she wouldn't get far.

Susan clapped. "Alright enough chit chat and seeing you all." she waved as she left"

"WAIT!" Nick shouted but felt Susan's presence disappear.

Sapphire got off her bed and went over to Nick "We need to get out of this hospital and get back your kid"
