(UNION ACADEMY)

After Aiden returned to the academy, running down the halls and ran into his dorm room, Aiden's union friends and girlfriends were wondering why he was running away after he came back until they got a text saying that Vaggie was actually an Exorcist angel the whole time, which shocked them all after knowing that

Deku: Vaggie was an angel the whole time?

Iida: that would explain why she has an X for a left eye after all.

Ren: and I think the reason why she never told Aiden is because of when he told us about how he found out that his dad is an exorcist too.

Nora & the others nod in agreement, and then suddenly...

Tommy: wait, what are you guys talking about?

Everyone shrieked in surprise as they turn around and see the Alpha Betas standing behind them while Mason was eating some nachos

Ruby: (sighs) it's kind of a long story, but since Aiden never told you, I think we should tell you everything.

the alpha betas raise their eyebrows, puzzled while the Union students tell the team everything that Aiden went through after he ran away from his sister 4 months ago

(IN THE HAZBIN HOTEL)

In Charlie's bedroom, we see her helpers, Razzle & Dazzle, holding tissue boxes with having sad faces as Charlie was covered in her blankets crying her eyes out after what happened back In Heaven's court, or atleast she was until Alastor showed up

Alastor: oh, Charlie. You look like an absolute mess.

Charlie then made this mad, but rather cute, face as she glared at the radio demon

Charlie: (groans) go away, alastor.

Then Alastor sat on Charlie's bed

Alastor: now now, is that any way to act after you, Aiden and Vaggie picked a fight with all of heaven and doomed everyone you loved.

Charlie: (sigh) I have enough on my mind without hearing your sadistic idea of a joke, asshole.

Then she covered herself in her blanket again, until..

Alastor: who's joking?!

He startled Charlie as she fell off her bed

Alastor: you have a captive audience downstairs waiting to hear what kind of inspiring performance you have planned next.

Charlie: (groans) I can't. how can I save them after failing them so hard? They came here to be saved and all I gave them was more pain. I'm just as bad as the cruelest overlord in Hell, maybe worse. At least they don't go around giving false hope.

Alastor: well, I never expected to see such a miserable display of self-loathing from you.

Charlie crossed her arms and glared at Alastor

Charlie: oh, fuck you, Alastor. All you do is stand there, smiling while you watch us struggle and fail. I don't know how you can enjoy all this suffering so much.

Alastor then showed up behind Charlie and chuckled

Alastor: just because you see a smile doesn't mean you think you know what's going on underneath. (cups her cheeks) a smile is a valuable tool, my dear. It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that no matter what comes your way, you're the one in control.

Charlie: but I'm not, I'm the farthest thing from ''in control''. The person I trusted the most has been lying to me for years, except Aiden because he's only known her for a few months...and HE'S MY BOYFRIEND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! Not to mention that heaven refused to listen to me and even if they did, I can't prove that my hotel works. Adam has an invincible exorcist army pointing at my doorstep and there's nothing I can't do ABOUT ANY OF IT!!

Then Alastor smiled villainously

Alastor: (singing) I know something you don't know.

Charlie: huh?

Alastor: those big, scary angels aren't quite as indestructible as they seem.

Charlie is now confused

Charlie: what are you talking about?

Alastor: just that you and your little band of misfits might be able to stand more of a chance than you think.

Then Charlie became desparate

Charlie: How?! I'll do anything.

Alastor turned around and smiled at her

Alastor: anything? Then... let's make a deal.

He offered his hand to Charlie to make said deal

Charlie: you want... you want my soul?

Alastor: Your soul? Heavens, no. All I need from you is one itty bitty favor. What's a favor between friends?

Charlie: I won't hurt anyone for you.

Alastor: who's asking? One favor, at a time of my choosing, where you harm nobody. In return, I tell you what I know. (twirls mic) do we have a deal?

Razzle & Dazzle growled at him until Charlie gestured them to stop and then...

Charlie: deal.

Then they shook hands as the deal they made was now official, then Vaggie barged in the room

Alastor: right on cue.

Vaggie: WHAT DID YOU DO?!

She charged at him until Charlie blocked her

Charlie: Vaggie, stop.

Vaggie: what?

Then she dropped her spear

Vaggie: no, Charlie, please tell me that you didn't-

Charlie: yes, I made a deal with Alastor.

Alastor: and calm down, she still owns her soul.

Then he walked away

Charlie: he gave me info that can save the hotel, but we're going to need some help. We know that Aiden defeated the angels in the last extermination and Carmilla knows a way that can defeat them besides Aiden.

Vaggie: what?

Charlie: besides Aiden, Carmilla killed an exorcist in the last extermination. She knows how they can be harmed.

Vaggie: i--- I didn't even know that was possible.

Charlie: (scoffs) even if you did, wouldn't you have told me or Aiden?

Vaggie looked offended & hurt after hearing Charlie ask that as she picked up her jacket

Charlie: I need you to go to Carmine and convince her to teach us. If she can, we might have a chance. but with just the 7 of us, we're going to need numbers too.

Then Alastor showed up again

Alastor: and I know just who can help. As long as Charlie can be her normal, charming self.

He said after pinching her right cheek and Charlie started rubbing it

Charlie: what's that you said about smiles?

Then Alastor patted her head

Alastor: good girl.

Vaggie: (whispers) Charlie, can we talk about this?

Charlie: we can talk about it later. Right now, we have a job to do. (glares) you with us?

Vaggie sighed, and then groaned in defeat

(LATER, OUTSIDE OF THE HOTEL)

A portal opened up in the hotel lobby and we see Aiden walk out from it as he met up with Charlie & Alastor

Charlie: Aiden, shouldn't you be, you know-

Aiden: crying on my bed after we both found out Vaggie is an exorcist? Yeah, I should be, but I had to check on you to see if you were okay by now.

Charlie sighed

Charlie: I'm not okay now. but right now me and Alastor are going to meet someone.

Alastor: your girlfriend is right, young Aiden, I will explain on the way. Will you accompany us on this trip?

Aiden looked at Charlie and then shrugged his shoulders in response, meaning he'll come with them as they started walking away from the Hotel
