Earning Your Wings

Kidd viciously smiled and almost too excitedly grabbed ahold of the small gun in the silent room, the familiar feeling of adrenaline and blood lust began to cloud his vision, but he had no problem in cutting loose his demons in there.

Taking his spot in the middle of the vacant space, he stared at the living and squirming lump and cleared his mind, allowing the monster inside to seep in and control him.

Kidd could never kill with his head full of complex thoughts, every sigle time his mind was blank and easy to rely on instinct when he killed, always leaving little memory to be left behind of the sinful deeds his own hands commited.

Once his head was perfectly blank, he calmly opened his now faintly glowing red eyes and slowly prepared the gun, making a tiny sickening 'click' echo through the room.

The angel now fiercely fidgeting in his seat, desperately trying to beg for his pitiful life, was now a distorted figure to the lost redhead, nothing but a moving mass of color that amused him seeing it was moving, disturbing the white calm of the room.

The whole world around him, dispite all the tiny creeks and clicks was silent, making his ears ring, a deafening silence that he only enjoyed to be broken by screams and bullet fire.

'BAM!!!!'

The wall behind the angel's head was swiftly splattered red and his body went limp, a terrifying thump sounded that would make the bravest become squimish.

The bag covering the victim's head started to stain in the crimson color like a blanket caught in the rain as the body slowly started to crumble into dust. (Now that dude is dead-dead)

Now that nothing was moving in his blurred, unfocused vision, Kidd slowly started to regain his conscience, by the time the redhead could perfectly think again he was met with the sound of clapping.

Turning around and accidentally dropping the gun from his shaken mind, he was faced with an impressed looking Smoker with a gruff, but pleased smile on his lips.

"Well done newbie, there are barely any officers around that can kill so calmly and coldly, well, without complaining about recurring nightmares, but any reason, I think you'll do great around here"

Kidd happily grinned and walked towards the open door, minding himself not to get too close to the man in case he still had any suprise tests left.

"So, does this mean I get the job?" Smoker nodded and handed him a small badge, "if we ever have a case for you we'll call, for now you can just relax until then...cadet" Smoker then returned to his emotionless scowl and stormed away like a true boss.

Just as Kidd was going to go back to Law and excitedly tell him of his pleasing experience, a tingling sensation traveled around his back as he immediately hunched over in response.

"Aaauggghhhh.." slowly two wings started to take form on his back, once the process was complete, Kidd felt the two new appendages twitch on his back when he moved two certain muscles.

Looking into the closest mirror in the hallway, Kidd stared and scanned at his new wings, the ones that apparently reflected his own living soul.

They were made out of bronze, and golden rusted up gears of all possible shapes, types and sizes, nails were scattered everywhere, poking amongst the metal wreck and acting as feathers, screws and every other kind of tiny metal things he could name were lodged in between a few empty spaces with broken red wires pumping blood, acting like veins deep within the oily, oozing and dripping mechanics.

To Kidd, they were so damn badass.

Kidd happily struck a few poses in the mirror dispite his lack of vanity, smiling while feeling so proudly about how they fit his personality so well, the smugness radiating off of him almost killed him.

After finishing his personal evaluation of them, he finally came back down to earth and making excited hooting sounds before he scurried back towards the lobby.

Law was gonna freak.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The guardian angel once again huffed in impatience as he tapped his foot on the cold stone tiles below him, Law may have been a cool and collected person but patience was never one of his traits, nor was it one he could learn to have.

'Where is he!?' The raven bitterly thought.

"I just got a call, Kidd passed the test and he's on his way" Law tried not to lace any sarcasm in his voice as he half heartedly glared at his father figure, "I knew he would pass" it was true, Law of course took the test as well before, so he knew that Kidd wouldn't fail it either from experience of watching the man since childhood.

Cora sighed as he took out a new cigarette and blinked when it suddenly caught fire before he even took his lighter out of his pocket, "jesus Cora-san, don't get yourself killed again" the blond nervously chuckled and took a thick drag.

As the smoke swirled everywhere he kept a watchful eye on the younger angel, still faithfully awaiting his now no longer lost soul to return to him.

Corazon's POV

I smiled as I watched him subconsciously fidget around in the lounge chair.

'My little Law's all grown up~' the thought kinda made me depressed, knowing that he's gonna have to be watched over by someone else after nursing him for so long.

Images of that buff redhead flashed through my mind.

Just by looking at him I knew he'd make a perfect fit...that is if Law doesn't play too hard to get, "oi Law" a pair of still childish eyes looked back at me and I resisted the urge to lift him into the air and turn him back into a kid, and protect him and love him and-'NO'

I closed my eyes as I calmed down my raging parental instincts, Law's a big boy now..I gotta let go....just a bit, "don't be too hard for that redhead ya hear?, I can tell he'll be a good match for ya"

I softly smiled when his cheeks dusted dark red.

"SHUT UP CORA-SAN!!"

'Oh Law, it's written all over your face'

The redhead's voice then echoed from outside and Law immediately left at his call.

....*sigh* he's not my little boy anymore.

....

'YOU BETTER TAKE CARE OF LAW REDHEAD OR I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN MYSELF!! PUNISHER BE DAMNED!!!'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Law's POV

I rushed outside to the sound of his voice and immediately stood in awe of his spectacular wings.

.............

HOLY SHIT THEY ARE GORGEOUS.

By a quick glance of them, the two were made of powerful bronze gears and tiny metal substances dripping tiny amounts of blood and oils...oh, and some were made of pure gold and iron too, I wonder if they operate?

Without knowing it I spoke out loud, "those are beautiful" I blushed in realization and hid my face as he chuckled, "well I think your's are the most elegant things I've ever seen"

Damn, I blushed as he turned around and motioned his head, "well come on hotshot, let's go home, I don't know about you but I'm pretty exhausted"

I nodded as we both walked down the street.

'I really think he is Cora-san'
