Compromise
"Do you seriously expect us to trust you!? After everything you've done!? After all the people you've hurt in the pursuit of your twisted ambition...!?" exclaimed Nanachi, his yellow eyes blazing with fury as he thought about all the terrible things Bondrewd had coerced him into doing—the years he had spent wishing he were dead.
"I suppose I can understand why you're angry..." affirmed Bondrewd, ensuring that Prushka remained between him and Nanachi as he asked, "But what of my beloved daughter? Even if you expose everything I've done, she has never known me as anything but a source of compassion and warmth. Presuming you could kill me, do you believe she would simply forgive and accompany you on your journey? And if she doesn't, what then? She may be able to survive for a time within the Ido Front, but without my careful guidance and the Umbra Hands, she would inevitably perish—alone, starving, and full of resentment toward the ones who stole her happiness away from her..."
"Just how terrible can one person be...?" asked Mitty, tears in the corners of her pale red eyes and an indignant, furious, teeth-clenched expression adorning her face. She had also become fast friends with the friendly and naive Prushka, but while her resentment wasn't as deep as Nanachi's, she couldn't forgive the masked man for misleading them with honeyed words and murdering all their friends...
"It doesn't matter anymore..." remarked Riko, causing a wave of confusion to wash over everyone present before Bondrewd, feeling a hand clasp his left shoulder, became stiff as a statue.
"End of the line..." said Vahn, his usually aquamarine eyes glistening with a fiery golden hue as he casually indented the metal plating encompassing Bondrewd's shoulder by tensing the fingers of his right hand.
"Dragon God Vahn, I presume...?" asked Bonedrewd, peering back at Vahn over his left shoulder, surprised to find that the Deity he had been looking forward to meeting was some boy. His physique and general appearance were certainly exceptional, but there was nothing particularly godly about him.
"I will state it plainly..." said Vahn, his grip tightening as he expressed, "The only reasons you're still breathing is because Nanachi and Mitty deserved a chance to handle you themselves. Your Umbra Hands also contribute to the overall safety of the Abyss, so if you wish to continue your research in a limited capacity and see the Dawn for yourself, you will play the good father to Prushka one final time and release her to pursue a path you forsook the moment you abandoned your humanity..."
Though he doubted it would work, Bondrewd responded to Vahn's words by activating the Sparagmos in his left elbow, causing a cerulean blue and gold, laser-like blade with the ability to cut through all known substances to ignite from the back end of his gauntlet. The fact it activated surprised him, but not nearly as much as the deadpan, unamused expression Vahn adopted in response.
"Vahn!" exclaimed Riko, unable to prevent herself from panicking at least a little after seeing a blade of light pierce his diaphragm, forming a nearly 10cm-wide void through his body.
"Are you done...?" asked Vahn, prompting Bondrewd to silently deactivate his Sparagmos, followed by the hole in his body filling with golden flames before his condition was perfectly restored.
"I will comply with your demands..." stated Bondrewd, seeing no way out of the situation other than compliance. His urge to dissect, inspect, and claim Vahn's body as his own was overwhelming, but after Vahn casually closed his hand, tearing every muscle and breaking every bone in his left shoulder, he understood his next attempt on the godly entity's life would assuredly be his last...

[November 5th DxD/June 29th DBT]
"This is incredible! How can such a large body of water exist!? And the ceiling! It's like it goes on forever...!" exclaimed Prushka, eyes wide and full of wonder as she raised her gaze to the blue sky above, eventually causing her to fall onto her butt onto the white sands beneath her bare feet. After waking and receiving permission from Bondrewd to join Riko's group, the first thing the latter did was invite her to the palace to see and experience the wonders of the outside world in the controlled setting of a training room. As such, she was currently wearing a frilly white one-piece swimsuit in preparation for a day of swimming, snorkeling, and generally enjoying the beach.
"This is just one of the many sights that exist outside the Abyss. And thanks to Vahn, we can eat delicious food and experience all kinds of things we couldn't under normal circumstances~" stated Riko, sporting a brown and white tube top and spat-like bottoms that left her lower back and belly exposed as she cradled a tiny, rabbit-sized creature with pink and white fur, an oval-shaped body with a notably fluffy butt, and wings that allowed it to fly short distances in her arms.
"What's this? Riko talking about how incredible Vahn is? It must be a day that ends in y~" teased Mitty, pouncing on Riko from behind in a hot pink two-piece with a hole at the back to accommodate her fluffy, rabbit-like tail. Following after her were Reg and Nanachi, sporting swim trunks, with Vahn bringing up the rear in black cargo shorts, a button-up Hawaiian tee that was currently left open, and stylish black shades. He also had Kunou riding on his shoulders, and once she finished changing, Tanya was set to join them as the beach day was supposed to be to acquaint Prushka with her future Party members.
"Me yaaaaaaaah—!" exclaimed the creature in Riko's arms, a Meinastilim known as Meinya, Prushka's pet. Mitty's surprise glomp caused Riko to cradle it a little too tightly, so it was trying to escape her arms as if its life depended on it.
"Alright, let's behave and respect peoples' boundaries..." said Vahn, his tone calm as he removed Kunou, sporting her usual crimson bikini, from his shoulders, placing her on the ground. He had tried getting her to wear more conservative swimsuits, but since she was perfectly fine swimming naked or wearing nothing but a fundoshi, a bikini was conservative for the precocious kitsune.
"Oh! Time for sunscreen, right...!?" exclaimed Riko, notably excited as she unabashedly removed her top with an anticipatory smile. She was another source of exasperation for Vahn, but as they often bathed together during her stays in the Tower, he ultimately applied sunscreen to her, Kunou, and Prushka before sending them off with a reminder to be mindful of entering the water past their waists...

"Enjoying playing the part of lifeguard...?" asked Tanya, referring to how Vahn was seated atop a wooden beach chair with a calm, attentive look as he stirred a slushy mojito within a coconut.
Turning and then tilting his head when he saw that Tanya was wearing a dark blue, forward-facing zip-up wetsuit top with comparably scant side-tie bikini bottoms, Vahn remarked, "That's a pretty daring swimsuit...what happened to your previous one?"
Shrugging, Tanya revealed, "I tried on a few frillier alternatives, but I've been feeling the urge to try more mature clothing as of late. I blame my enrollment in Kirigaoka Girls' Academy. Because of my small stature and rapid promotion to the High School Division, I'm treated with equal parts envy and as if I'm some manner of mascot..."
"Are you regretting settling in Misaka's and Touma's world? It's not too late to choose another..." remarked Vahn, prompting Tanya to shake her head, lay down a towel, and take a seat before revealing, "I find greater comfort in modern, urban settings with well-established laws and paths of promotion. I will inevitably seek employment within the palace, but for now, I am enjoying my comparably mundane life as a middle-turned-high-schooler in a world full of Espers and Mages..."
"That's good to—" started Vahn, his response cutting mid-sentence as Tanya unzipped her wetsuit, removed it, and produced a bottle of tanning oil, her expression mischievous as she proferred it to him and said, "Make yourself useful," before lying on her stomach with her arms crossed under her head. Fortunately, Vahn had Robin's Hana Hana no Mi, allowing him to apply the tanning oil without having to leave his seat or place himself in a compromising position...

[November 7th DxD/July 1st DBT]
After witnessing the Dragon's Pavilion's or, more accurately, Vahn's and Sis's capabilities during the Boros Incident, during which the population of the instantaneously destroyed A-City was translocated to safety and summarily returned at her request, Tatsumaki found herself between his legs, her expression pouty but determined as she held his shaft with her left hand, simultaneously licking and rubbing it with her cheek from base to tip.
Though he was tempted to tell her she didn't need to force herself, Vahn suspected it would only make Tatsumaki angry, compelling him to remain silent and observe her with a relaxed, smoldering smile as she eventually transitioned to giving him a blowjob. Her mouth, as could be expected of a 144.7cm tall woman, was very small, but she was very diligent, sucking the upper third of his cock with her cheeks inverting each time she pulled her head back.
'She's either experienced or has been practicing...' noted Vahn, his smile becoming marginally more prominent when Sis promptly confirmed it was the latter. Rather, he was evidently only the second male with whom the twenty-eight-year-old Tatsumaki had any kind of relationship. Fortunately for him, not so much for Tatsumaki or her would-be boyfriend, the latter had only started dating her after being dared to approach and ask her out by his friends. None of them expected her to agree, but rather than taking the relationship seriously, the opportunistic 'bro' convinced Tatsumaki to dress up and engage in humiliation play so he could take pictures to share with his friends. To make matters infinitely worse, they ultimately got him to convince her to attend a dress-up party where they intended to get her drunk, take advantage of, and ultimately blackmail her. When she realized she was the only girl present in a studio with five casually dressed college boys, however, not even the medicine she had been slipped could prevent her from realizing something was seriously amiss, resulting in all five boys being hospitalized with life-altering injuries...

"You don't need to be so mindful of me...I might be a little on the small side, but I'm still a grown woman..." asserted Tatsumaki, her face flushed and a slight pout marring her face as, rather than having sex, Vahn spent nearly half an hour cradling her with his left arm, kissing her, suckling her nipples, and fingering her with the fingers of his right hand. Everything he did felt incredible, causing her to orgasm more than once, but she got the impression he was biding time until something transpired to prevent them from having sex...
"I wouldn't have spent the past half hour kissing you and suckling your breasts if that weren't the case..." countered Vahn, smiling as he teased, "I simply like to take things slow...but if you're reaching the limits of your patience, I'm more than willing to proceed..."
"I'll do it myself..." asserted Tatsumaki, her hair fluttering as a luminous, bright green Psychokinetic aura enveloped her body, allowing her to rise from his hold and position herself above him with her back facing him and her butt carefully lowering to kiss the tip of his dick with her very wet and warm pussy. From there, Vahn was briefly left speechless as, rather than simply riding him, Tatsumaki sat back, propped open her legs, and raised and lowered herself using her Psychokinetic powers. She was initially only able to accommodate about a third of him, but as she acclimated and her arousal grew, aided by him stimulating her clip, she eventually managed a commendable two-thirds before he began sneakily decreasing at least his length to make things easier for her...
