It's the early hours of the morning, Loona is looking through the humans cracked door to see he's vast asleep, the light snore hitting her receptive ears as she scans the room. The hellhound smiles as she makes her way back to her room, having Adam as a roommate has been pretty good, not just because he's helped in paying the rent and all but his company has become kind of enriching and while she can still feel neutral towards him, Loona is starting to feel some other emotions, ones that she remembers feeling when she had a crush on Vortex. Her thoughts are clashing with one another as she doesn't know how to sort her emotions and she is still trying to find those to hang out with outside of her little circle, but she's wondering if maybe she now has a crush on the human, part of her wants to just go to him and see how he feels while another still wants to stay distant from him... she isn't sure what to do.

Loona gets an idea 'Maybe I know how I can get an answer.' as a light bulb ignites nearby which she promptly turns off 'Damn power surges.'

Eventually the pair make their way to headquarters where Loona seeks Millie out, she sees the imp tending to putting her lunch in it's place in the break-room, Loona swallows her pride and goes over to her, the two giving quick good mornings in the process.

Loona rubs her hands together "Millie, is it okay if we can talk for a few?"

The imp blinks at her in surprise "Uh, sure Loona. But what don't you wanna talk about?" as she goes over to the canine.

The hellhound blushes "Well, it has to do with... Adam."

Millie puts on a teasing smirk as she can already see where this is going "You got the hots for him or something?!"

Loona blinks in surprise "I-I'm not too sure!", she recomposes herself as best she can "Part of me... wants to see if he has his sights on anyone.... I mean, I doubt it.... but... I...." she sighs "I don't know how to put it!" with a frustrated headache.

The imp giggles at the hellhound "Sugar, I think it's wonderful that you are seeing him like that and I am sure he would be flattered if you told him."

Loona shakes her head "It's a little more then that. Ever since I got my own place, I thought I would enjoy the quiet, but with Adam there, I think I enjoy it when I actually go home.", she closes her eyes "He's always happy to see me and he's there for me but he isn't all in my face... unlike some people.", her eyes open once more "I know how it sounds, but I am not sure how to proceed."

Millie wants to laugh at how flustered the hellhound is, but she remembers when she had similar thoughts when she was younger "Loona it's natural to be confused about what your goin through, but you're torturing yourself hon. Now, Adam hasn't been with us long but we have learned how he works and I'm sure he's still tryin to work things out.", she folds her arms "But he said it straight out that we are his friends, that means he trusts us and while he is still getting use to how we banter, he's experimenting with his own dry humor, the darlin is shy and he would rather observe. I won't lie and say that I know how confident he is around women, but he strikes me as simply bein reclusive, you may have to be the one who makes the first move when it comes to him."

The hellhound let's the imps words tumble around in her mind, given how little she's actually interacted with others it sounds like a good call for the most part, she does bring up her plans to take Adam to a hellhound party to help him out in making some more friends like her but also to see how well he interacts, which Millie agrees with and she wishes Loona the best with her plan.

Moxxie is showing off a gadget to me, a small pocket watch with a bronze case, the imp gives me a smirk "Given that unlike us you can't carry all that much, we needed to figure out a way for you to carry more fire power should the need arise. This pocket watch is equipped with a small pocket dimension gemstone, this will allow you store weapons, equipment... anything you can possibly imagine. But be careful as if the gem is destroyed you won't have access to the equipment inside until it is replaced." with a genius smile.

I activate the pocket watch, I hold one of my sidearms to it and the pocket watch takes it in, I activate it as I think of the sidearm and it appears out of thin air "This is amazing, thanks Mox!" with a beaming smile.

Moxxie pats my back "No problem, I forgot to put two-and-two together and realized after the fact that there was no way you can carry all that gear.", he gets up and takes a sip of some very custom coffee "Plus, this way you can tackle any situation that comes your way."

I have a sip of mine "Loona told me of some of the people you guys have come up against, quite a batch of crazies in some cases. But the guys called D.H.O.R.K.S. have my interest."

The imp sighs "Yeah, we were told that their words would never be believed, but you never really know. I think our saving grace was that they never really used any firearms and that when Stolas came to save our hides it was after trying to find us." as he examines an mp5.

I sigh "Nothing runs out faster then luck." as I look at my p38 "The only exception is time."

We get called into a conference, the contract giving me quite a shock when we are told how we are going to have to approach this...

I blink "You want me to shoot at a plane?!"

Blitzo goes around the table "Yes, because that is where the target is going to be." as he looks at a flintlock pistol.

I say "If I do that it'll depressurize and the aircraft will tear itself apart, then we are really playing with fire."

The imp puts on an annoyed look "Do you have a better idea?" as he puts his hands on his hips.

I sigh "Actually I do. You guys said earlier I can work as an infiltrator... so let me be an infiltrator." as I hold up a suppressor.

Loona gives a playful expression "That's right, you guys did say that." with Millie giving a nod.

Blitzo gives a hard sigh "Alright, we'll give it a shot."

Moxxie tosses me a bolt-action .22 pistol to which I equip the suppressor to it "But you won't be able to maintain cover on the plane."

I sigh "You are correct, I need to get him in the terminal.", I eye the pistol "And excellent choice Mox, with this I won't have to worry about any shell casings either."

I adorn a proper tux and head out with Loona coming with me as she changes into a human disguise, we bypass security all together and begin to wonder around the airport, Loona points out the target, he looks like a federal agent, a metal briefcase is attached to his hand with cuffs which gets my full attention but I decide to pass it of as I think it's just money or something. I motion for Loona to keep moving as I see the target get into a bathroom, I wait a second or two before heading in, I make sure no one is around as I ready the silenced weapon, he goes to enter a stall, I quickly put the pistol to the back of his head fire, crimson marks the wall as I grab the back of his jacket, I quickly sit him down and put the weapon away before leaving the scene, Loona and I eventually getting clear and heading back to Hell. Quick, clean and painless with no firefight attached, I had shown that I can do what I have to do as an infiltrator, at least as far as I know.

We enter the conference room and I exclaim "Target is terminated." as I pull out the .22 and hand it out to Moxxie.

The imp waves it off "Keep it, never know when it can come in handy." which earns a nod from me and I pull the bolt back which ejects the spent round and I catch it.

Blitzo rubs his forehead "Yeah, we could have done it the fun way." with a bit of a whine.

Loona changes back to her normal form with an amused smirk while I put the bolt back in place and put the pistol away.

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

With the crime scene at the airport having been dealt with, the case is now sitting in a dark room on top of a table. Two agents in suits are looking at the case, one is guy with short brown hair and the other is a woman with short blonde hair, sunglasses are blocking their eyes and they have a pin that is a red triangle with a white 'D' on top of it.

The guy sighs "It was them, no question about it. No shell casing and no sign of any entry or exits, but they aren't normally this clean.", he looks to the other agent "What do you think Two?"

Two adjusts her sunglasses "Could be a new addition to the group, someone who has a different approach. Honestly One, it could mean anything... but what's important is that they didn't take the case. With it, maybe we can even the playing field."

One nods, he puts the combination in and opens the case very carefully, revealing a white serum with a built-in computer system holding the robust vials.

One takes one of the vials out "We were unable to get proper samples from the feathers and hair from the red freaks, so hopefully we can get results from that furry and her traits."

Two sighs "The problem is that we really didn't get that much to create this synthetic adapter agent and so we'll need to be a little selective.", she opens up a laptop "Breaking down her DNA to it's most basic components to where we only have the traits of her species was a challenge, but the lab coats are confident that it'll work. We already have profiles for candidates that'll yield the best likely results."

A notification pops up on her laptop, she waves One over to it's footage recovered from the airport and they see the wolf girl in disguise and a human walking with her, his dirty blonde hair and blue eyes looking focused and a sharp suit to where he looks dressed to kill, they see the demon leave his side for a moment as he follows the agent into the bathroom before coming back out a few minutes later and the two go back where they originally came from. It just stuns them, to think a human would work alongside such creatures alone is just insanity... to see he is also carrying out their missions just renders them speechless, Two pulls up files of possible activity and while not all are concrete there is evidence of demonic activity and the bullets that don't match any of the other firearms found at the scene suddenly makes sense. They aren't entirely sure what firearms he's using, but they guess he has at least one sidearm and given the number of rounds at few scenes a machine gun that fires the 7.92x57mm mauser and a rifle that fires the same caliber.

One looks at some of the gathered evidence "If they have him working with them, they can gain far more intel on their targets and can gain a foothold.", he looks to Two "And this can lead to a breach!"

Two gives a nod "We need to form patrols and double our efforts!"

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

With the day slowing, we are all basically relaxing, from cleaning our gear to filing paperwork and everything in-between. Eventually it gets so slow that Blitzo decides to just give everyone the rest of the day off, Loona and I decide to walk around the city as she wants to show me around, the demons become surprised to see me roaming the streets as the beings that were once human give me a ton of mixed looks, but I decide to not pay them any attention, a few take a step too close and Loona gives a vicious growl as she bares her teeth. Normally we just go striaght back home after work and then go back to repeat, it's refreshing to see Imp City and it's inhabitants.

Suddenly I hear "My oh my, what a surprise." in a familiar radio voice.

We look to see Alastor walking over to us and I say "Alastor, good to see you out and about." trying to be friendly.

Loona raises an eyebrow "What are you doing here?"

Alastor gives a laugh "Just taking a stroll on this dandy of a day, plus I wanted to see how the exotic human is fairing."

Loona and I share a look, but before we can respond we hear "YOU!"

We look to see a sinner demon shambling towards us, giving me a glare as points to me and I say "Uh, can I help you?"

The demon stops just a few feet away "I am the agent that you killed... it's because of you I am here!"

I blink and I say "Look, you are for what you did to someone else, I was only doing my job to see that they got their vengeance. If you have any complaints then please file them with my boss, but he won't care and blow you off." which earns an amused look from Loona and a chuckle from Alastor.

The demon scoffs "No matter, after they are done working with what's in that box, you will be mince meat and the demons you send will meet their match!"

I think 'Box?!', then it hits me "The briefcase!"

The sinner nods "Yes, after the incident we have been creating new weapons and tools to counter their kind, it matter not what I tell you, as they will beat you no matter what you do." as a sickening smirk crosses his face.

Alastor laughs as he walks around us "Such claims are but those of snake oil, no human weapon can effectively counter demon kind." as he proudly raises his microphone.

I think 'Doomguy would like to have a word with you.' amusingly.

Loona puts on a look of surprise though as she seems to be pondering something, eventually the sinner demon leaves and Alastor joins us on our walk. The radio demon and I get into a conversation of him asking how things are going for me thus far and I inform him of the good news that everything is going fine and I ask questions on how the hotel is coming along and he informs me of the upgrades they are doing to make the place be a little more in shape, in fact he's in the area to check on one such deal, we enter a retro repair shop and I see something incredible, a massive record playing jukebox complete with vacuum tubes as they put a wooden panel on it. Alastor requests to hear the machine play a tune and the shop owner gets it going, a record gets grabbed by a mechanical arm and ritzy jazz music starts to play, the snare drums and trombones, trumpets and saxophones, a true beauty of notes indeed. We all just sit there as the music plays for a few tracks, Alastor looking delighted to see me enjoying the older tunes, but eventually the radio demon has it packaged and sent to the hotel he's working with, we continue to walk around for a little while more with Alastor wishing me luck with my future endeavors with me wishing the same for him... why do I get the feeling he's watching me?

We eventually get back to our place where we kick back and relax, but Loona still looks to be in some kind of thought, though I decide not to press as I think back to that sinner demon and what he said. What kind of weapon could he and his agency come up with that can effectively counter demons? The only things I can think of is what I've seen in media, mostly firearms and melee weapons, the kind of things you would see in things like Doom and other video games or objects like salt and holy water like in stuff like the show Supernatural. It must be something more, something that I am missing...

I look to Loona and I decide to ask her "Do you have any idea what that agent was talking about?"

The hellhound gives a hard sigh "I'm afraid I do, you see the agency I told you about, the D.H.O.R.K.S., we thought sparing them would have no consequences but it seems that it did. It is more then likely we left evidence behind, but doubt they could have used any of it.", those eyes look to me "But it looks like they did and we have no way of tracking them down, as that demon will never give up their secrets."

I begin to rub my chin in confusion and curiosity, eventually I give up "I'm sure it's no big deal, if it is then we'll deal with it when we cross that bridge."

Loona raises an eyebrow "You humans go from depressed to optimistic pretty quickly, good but kind of annoying." giving a smirk.

It's my turn to sigh "Well... I haven't been optimistic about everything, that much is obvious, some things more then others."

Loona kicks back "Like what? I can't imagine what would be worse then the position you were in." those eyes still trained on me.

I look to her "What I mean is... well, how do I put it...?" my eyes ticking around as I try to gather my thoughts "You see, back in school whenever I tried to... see if I can get a girlfriend, I always struck out. Either because I was too shy or I froze... or just straight up panicked. So I eventually just gave up and went about my studies, which didn't help my reputation of being basically a shadow."

The hellhound gives me a couple blinks "Hmm, I can see how that can be a blow.", she shifts herself a little "But since you are now in Hell, are you thinking of looking for someone?"

"I honestly haven't thought about it all that much, ever since joining I.M.P. it's something that hasn't really crossed my mind." with a sad smile.

Loona shakes but only for a second "But is there... anyone you, faaaancy?"

I give a few blinks of my own "Well, you know basically all the women I have met since I came here and the two that I know the best are you and Millie and Millie is marr...", I stop at the moment as I realize where she is going with this "What a second... are you... asking me out?"

The hellhound puts on a blush that almost rivals her eyes "Y-Yes... I know I'm socially awkward and I didn't know what to say, but I am sure I have a crush on you. That's one of the reasons why I wanted to invite you, to see if we can have a few more things in common at the party and maybe show that..." her words becoming lost as I can see those eyes becoming sadder and sadder.

I gently take her hands which surprises her, those eyes scanning me as she looks to be processing "To be honest, I kind of thought there was a reason why you were treating me different to everyone else. I know you can be nice here and there because I have seen you be nice to the others, I just wasn't sure why you decided to save it for me.", I put on a nervous smirk "Besides, don't feel too bad, I am not really sure how to handle all of this myself.", I look to her eyes "I would like to be your boyfriend if that's what you want and I am more then willing to give it a try, I just... have no idea what to do." as I give a blush at the end.

Loona's eyes scan me as I can see her give a quick sniff to the air, her eyes soften as she brings her right hand to my cheek, for a moment I feel a claw graze my skin just below my eye, she brings her face close to mine and gives a kiss to my lips with her eyes closed, they slowly open as I feel a flood of emotions and... I can feel tears forming, which is weird for me as I didn't feel sad. I hug the hellhound as I bury my face into her, she embraces me as her tail comes around and I feel her place her head on top of mine as I hear her sniffing me. I think I'm starting to understand how her senses work to a degree, when she sniffs the air, it's not just to gain a scent but she can tell what emotions everyone else is feeling if I had to guess. Loona lays back and takes me with her, she begins to lick my hair... is she... marking me? I look to see she removes the glove on her left hand and brings it over to my face, I know what she wants me to do, but only using my tongue wont suffice, I decide to bring my mouth on her ring finger and gently begin to lick and cover it in my spit, every few minutes she shifts her left hand to where I'm licking anew part of it as my hair becomes a little more soaked.

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

From a distance, Blitzo is eyeing the hellhound and human with a pair of binoculars, he's taken by surprise at the sight, to think his adopted daughter is now with a human of all things, he wants to storm in and confront them, but that's a very bad idea, he thinks back to when Loona first joined them on showing of one of his ex's... Loona will always be his baby and it devastated him when she moved out, plus if he confronts the human then it could do some damage with their relationship and she also stood up to him before Adam even went over there. He has to just accept the fact that he has to learn to let go and let Loona have her own life, plus he knows if he does anything to the human, Loona would likely beat him to death as hellhounds tend to be protective of their mates, especially with her personality.

Blitzo lowers the gear 'Looney, I just want you to be happy. If being with Adam makes you feel that way, then I support you.' as he puts on a sad look.

The imp leaves his position and makes it home, he looks to where Loona's room once was, the place now just feels empty to him without her there, he slumps into a chair as he thinks about the situation and how Adam is. Despite the human adjusting well to this line of work, he is actually a kind person and he doesn't really seem to have a mean bone in his body, he thinks back to when the human started over and how desperate he was, but also how he didn't lash out or acted venomous. Blitzo also thinks of Loona's personality and wonders this... do opposites really attract? These two are the ones he would least likely to see form a relationship, not unless the hellhound got a crush on him not long after Adam came through. He decides that maybe he is over thinking all of this and to see how this plays out, as much as he want to knock down the door and talk to them, he has to let Loona make her own choices and take charge and see how well Adam can handle her.

To be continue...
