The Best (Worst) Babysitter

The child was far from a fool. Even if he was only born a couple of minutes ago.

There was no way he was just going to saunter off with some entity he didn't even know. Much less one he couldn't even look at.

"Fun..?" The word sounded foreign coming out the demon child's mouth. "I don't believe-"

Spare me from listening to your refusal. What other choices do you have? Stay in this universe that is about to die and be rewritten, or break free and spread a little mayhem with me.

The baby heard something that piqued his interest irrevocably.

"The universe… this?" The baby made a gesture of 'fullness' with his arms.

What a smart boy. Only a couple of minutes old and already acquiring a basic understanding of cosmic otherness and his role in eternity. Aren't you gifted.

The child didn't know why, but listening to praise from this individual was almost grating in a way. He didn't really want it at all.
