Chapter 18-Progress

Unedited

Jack's POV
I was in hospital with Mark for the next three weeks after our little conversation, feeling better than ever. In these three weeks, Mark and I have been visiting each other often, usually coming in when the other was sleeping and scaring them awake, or annoy the crap out of each other. At this point, I think we may be titled frenemies.

Now that it's the third week and our day of being discharge, all we have to do is wait for the doctor to come in and advice us about things that we need to be aware of, and then we're out.

After a while of packing my bags, the doctor came in and began filling in the things that I can and can't do. Which was, no extreme fights or action related things until after one week, same goes for Mark. The doctor was afraid that if we do too over the extreme, like fighting, my arm or Mark's stomach will be in extreme amounts of pain, so it's best to not overwork our body.

I frowned, but nodded, agreeing.

After the doctor discharged me, I continue packing my things. When I was done, I slung it around my shoulder, and went into Mark's room, humming.

Since Mark is a demon and obviously don't have a place to stay, I volunteered to ask him to stay at my home with Bob, Felix and Singe.

When I reached his room, the same doctor I saw earlier was talking to Mark, who was already out of the hospital outfit, listening to the doctor talk. He nodded and  cracked his neck when practically all his bones that can be crack, and looked at me, smirking. We watched as the doctor left us to our own devices before turning back to each other.

I rolled my eyes and frowned at him. 

He is definitely going to say something stupid.

"Sup, Irish cunt?" Mark greeted, walking to me.

I knew it.

"Not bad, ya bastard. Are you ready to go?" I asked and he nodded. 

"We gotta go see Jesus first.." I said, and his smirk died down, posture more stiff. I mean, I wouldn't blame him, I would be in the same position if I was him.  

Jesus had recovered the second week we were in the hospital. He came to visit me, and Mark. Though from what I heard from the trio it was nothing but tense and awkwardness.

Mark nodded hesitantly and I smiled, going up to him and putting a hand on his shoulder, and he stiffened more, before relaxing a little.

"Relax, Mark. It'll be fine....if he does anything that's out of control, I'll stop him, I promise"

Mark looked at me wide eyed, surprised before his expression curled into a smirk.

"You do realize what you're talking about, right?" Mark asked, still unsure whether I was fucking with him even with his signature smirk on.

I nodded "Jesus may be God and can do whatever he wants. But even he has a limit, if he steps over the line, he needs to be stopped. Jesus or not."

Mark nodded, taking in the information, looking at me "alright then, I guess...."

I smiled "alright. We'll go after I put my luggage back at home"

Time skip~  

After we have reached my house and put my luggage back to my house, which the trio had cleaned all the mess up when I was in hospital, Mark and I headed to Jesus place.

Even with just being a human, you can sense how stiff and awkward Mark is. His posture was stiffer than a rock, his movement was like a robot, making him much more intimidating to the other angels that walked or glide through us.

I looked at Mark "Calm down, Mark. It's not like Jesus will like, I don't know, eat you alive or something" I tried reassuring him but it doesn't look like it's working, so I gave up and kept quiet.

The journey to Jesus place was quiet and very awkward, and I bit my lip, feeling highly uncomfortable.

I sighed in relief internally when we reached the palace, smiling when I saw it. It has been quite a while since I saw this castle, having under Mark control for a while had me missing this palace a lot.

I took a deep breath as I walked towards the palace, and I see Mark trailing behind me from the corner of my eye. 

We walked until we were in front of the giant double doors, where two of the guards were guarding the door.

The both of them saw me, they opened the doors and stepped aside, letting Mark and I in.

I smiled, thanking them with a quick bow to the head and went in, smiling at the scene that held before me.

I looked at Mark, who was looking around, his  face one of awe as he had a small smile on his face.

We continued until we reached Jesus throne room, which was located at the top floor, don't ask. I also have no idea why.

When we reached there, there was no guards outside. So, standing just outside of the door, Mark and I took a deep breath, before I pushed the double doors.

As soon as I opened it, I felt all eyes on us, making me uneasy, looking down as I pushed the door wider, before Mark stepped in, and the people in the room gasped.

"It's that wretched demon! He probably has Sean under control again!" A shrilled woman voice said, and I clenched my teeth.

That damn name again. 

Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the angels standing up, all looking at Mark with anger.

"Let's perish him!" 

"Soak him in holy water!"

Jesus Christ, what the fuck has gone up in their heads. And where is Jesus?

I looked around for any signs of Jesus, noticed that there were no Jesus in his seat.

I furrowed his eyebrow. Something is not right here.

I looked at Mark, who was confused and scared, very unnatural of him. But I was scared too, as we just healed and the doctor clearly advised us to not do any activities too extreme.

I stepped back, Mark behind me as I put a hand out "We're here to see Jesus" I say sternly, glaring at them.

A woman angel looked at us with a kind expression "He is in his room, resting." She came closer "These angels are not actually threatening you two, their just mocking how Jesus would do if he see you two"

Mark and I looked at each other before breaking into grins, little chuckles escape our lips.

"Alright, thank you" I said, smiling before the both of us went to his room.

We made sure that we were as quiet as possible, trying not to startled him out of anything he was doing, even though we were not in his room yet.

Mark and I looked at each other, before knocking on his door gently.

Sooner or later, the door opened, and a surprised Jesus was standing there, looking at me, then at Mark, and it goes on for a while.

He finally broke the thickness in the air by speaking, through his eyes were still looking at me and Mark.

"You both are out of hospital...when?" 

I smiled slightly, looking at him "today, a little while ago. We wanted to confirm a thing with you..."

Jesus stared at us for a little while longer, before stepping to the side and opening the door bigger, motioning us to come in, and we did.

He shut the door softly, going to sit on his chair, and looked at us "speak"

I looked at Mark then back to Jesus, taking a deep breath before bracing myself.

This could either go really good or really bad.

"Well.....I suppose Mark told you about what happened..." I stated, continuing when I see him nodded "..and I'm pretty sure that basically, after this, he won't really be invited into hell again..."

Jesus looked at us and hummed, crossing a leg.

"So you want him to stay here until all is settled?"

I blinked, looking at Jesus with surprised, before nodding.

"Yes...and we want to ask your permission if he could stay here.."

Jesus hummed again, crossing his arms as he leaned back, one of his hand went up to run over his beard.

"Well.....I suppose so, but as long as he doesn't cause chaos to heaven, I suppose it's fine.."

I looked at Jesus, smiling as I looked at Mark, who was surprised. "really?" Mark suddenly blurted out.

Jesus looked at Mark, smiling "I mean, unless you want to go back to hell. I'm not stopping you. No one is"

Mark blinked, looking at Jesus with the same surprise face, before a smile cracked on his face "....thanks..." He said, almost hesitantly.

Jesus smiled and raised a hand up "no problem. Now run along now"

The both of us nodded, thanking Jesus again before leaving the place.

After a while of walking, I looked ta Mark "you will have to go to the mall.....considering you'll be living here for quite a while..." I piped up.

Mark nodded "yup.....which is going to be a big problem because I'm not an angel..."

Oh yeah right....oops..

I smiled and chuckled, causing Mark to look at me in confusion. "what's so funny..?"

I giggled, looking at Mark "I mean.....it doesn't hurt trying the clothes here......does it...?

He looked at me for a little while before he eyes widen, catching up "oh no no no no no no no no no no. You are not getting me in those angels outfit.." 

I smirked "try me"

His eyes widen as he slumped, sighing "fuck.."

Time skip~

I grinned sinisterly as Mark and I walked out of the mall, with angels looking at some giggling. Mark glared at me, crossing his arms as he growled.

He was wearing a white robe with sandals, and just for fair play, I also changed into one, but I wore golden maple flower crown.

"I hate you......." he mumbled out, his browish-red eyes flashing dangerously at me, more of a red then brown now.

I chuckled, smirking at him "c'mon now. It's not that bad, better than wearing your stinky clothes."

"I would rather wear that than this. Let's see how you like to wear my clothing" He grumbled out and I rolled my eyes, smiling.

After a while, after Mark grumbling and complaining the entire time, we finally reached my house. I looked at the still grumpy Mark.

"This is my house. But you knew, because you fucking thrashed my house once, thank you very much" I said to him, to which he smirked.

"Your very welcome" He dramatically said out.

I rolled my eyes, taking out my set of keys and fumbling with them, before finding the right one and opening my door, only to be greeted by the sight of emptiness, my house dark and empty.

I furrowed my eyebrows, slightly tilting my head. Something is wrong.

"That's weird, mostly around this time, Singe, Bob and Felix would be cursing and raging at video games...." I hummed, looking at my watch to check probably.

Mark raised an eyebrow "who's Singe?"

I looked at him, before realizing Mark didn't know her real name.

"Oh, it's Xuti, Singe is her real name" I explained, Mark nodded, looking back at my empty house.

I looked back at my house. Something tells me it would be a very bad idea to enter my house right now, contact Jesus or something.

Or I could.......

I looked at Mark as he also looked at me "wanna go in?"

Mark smirked, cracking his neck and knuckles, looking at me "let's"

Yup. We're taking the idiot road.

I grinned, stepping in as I dropped our shopping bags on my couch, cracking my neck and knuckles. 

"All right fuckers. Let my friends go!" I called out, looking around, Mark doing the same.

We heard a deep chuckle, and my door slammed shut, and I jumped slightly, snapping my head back as I heard Mark snickered.

"Pussy.." He mumbled under his breath and I furrowed my brows at him "shut up, bitch"

We continued walking in, our fighting stance ready as we walked in.

Suddenly, a few figures suddenly appear in front of us, forming a circle that trapped us inside.

I took a few steps backwards until my back hit something. I turned my head and saw Mark.

I relaxed and looked back at the figures.

Demons.

"Guess Lucifer had hatched a plan to take us back the three weeks we were in the hospital..." I  mumbled and Mark chuckled.

"If there's one thing you should know...he never quits until he gets what he wants or he have been defeated to the point where his scared of his pants but that seldom happens.." Mark mumbled.

"Mark. You and that angel are to return to hell with us to see Master.." One of the demon hissed. I looked at him closely. The demon was about Bob's height, with beard and a little hair even though he doesn't look that all old.

"C'mon Wade, you know better than to tell me what to do.." Mark said out, lowering his fist and I did the same.

Another demon piped up beside Wade, around my height, he has a baby face, a little too innocent to be a demon honestly.

"C'mon Mark, please.....?" The baby faced demon pleaded, using puppy eyes.

Even though I wasn't looking at Mark, I could practically feel him rolling his eyes.

"Nice try, Ethan. But your puppy eyes doesn't work on me.." Mark grumbled out, now folding his arms.

Ethan pouted, looking at me next, using his puppy eyes still "will you follow me back to Hell?": He asked, using his cutesy eyes.

Mark's POV

I looked at Jack, seeing if he would fall under Ethan's spell. Ethan is a.........special kind of demon, he was made to put anyone under his spell with those cute eyes, it doesn't really work on demons, sometimes. But it works on other things..

Oh shit...

I looked at Jack, who appears under Ethan's spell, crouching down to Ethan's eye level.

"Will you follow me back to Hell to see your new master?" Ethan said in a baby voice, to which Jack nodded mindlessly.

Yeah....evilly cute.

Ethan looked at Wade who nodded, summoning the portal to hell, all the demons going in the portal, Wade then Ethan who was walking backwards, sweet baby talking Jack.

I need to get there fast, once Jack stepped over the portal, it's over for me.

But when I looked back, Jack stopped right at where his house and the portal stand, one more step and he would be in Hell.

Ethan was using motion for Jack to come "C'mon Jacky, just one more step" He encouraged.

But Jack just stood there before his body began shaking, I raised my eyebrows, going near him.

"Jack, you okay?" I asked, going behind him when I hear giggles, before his giggles turned into laughter.

"oh man, I couldn't hold it anymore....you really think I'd fall for something like that?" He said, standing up, smirking at Ethan and Wade. "..nice try..but I don't get affected by this shenanigans....nice try though, A for effort, buddy"

My face turned into a smirk, folding my arms as I looked at Ethan, waving my hand "uh buh-bye guys!" I grinned.

Ethan growled, lashing out but before he could even come close, Jack waved his hand over the portal and it closed.

We both looked at each other before started bursting out laughing, clutching our stomach before I have to stopped. "okay, no more...my tummy is starting to hurt real bad.." I wheezed out.

Jack nodded "yeah...let's go see my friends.." He said and I nodded.

We both went up and stopped when he heard muffled screams in a room. We ran to the said room, realizing it was closed, Jack went to open  it but it was locked.

"Fuck.." he mumbled out, and I smirked, pushing Jack to a side, before stepping back and kicking the door down , making Jack grumbled.

"Really..?" He grumbled out softly, and I shrugged, smirking.

Jack and I turned our heads to see inside the room. And just as we expected, the three of them were inside, bounded with ropes and a tape over their mouths.

The both of us went into the room, untying them and freeing them. When they were freed, they looked terrified.

"What happened..?" I asked, looking at them, crossing my arms.

"Jack, listen! You need to go to Jesus right now! Immediately!" Singe urgently said out.

I looked at them, my guard slightly up I looked at Singe "what's going on?"

Singe looked at me with wide terrified eyes, and you can basically smell her fear from miles away.

"Lucifer is going to kill Jesus.."

Fuck....

What the fuck. I am sorry for not posting for that long 

ughf..
