Lust had told him to stay indoors. He didn't listen. He was good at disobeying her orders if he thought he could get away with it. Right now there was a hurricane battling out the coast of the city and he was too pissed to keep it indoors. Zoe was shacked up with her roommate which had proved to be a touchy subject for Greed. Gabe was a threat to him. He was a normal boy with normal boy feels. He clearly cared for Zoe which tipped Greed off. Not only had he lost his apartment, his precious things (except two, one of which included Zoe) had been taken. He wasn't about to pry his fingers loose because some tree decided to play linebacker on his ass.

Greed did what he did best, he clamped on tighter. Without influence though Zoe was still free to roam with her will in tact. When he was this mad he was reminded of that. It took a lot for him to stand down when he was threatened. He'd had to do it with Lucifer, to Lust, now her? She was asking a lot to someone who could easily kill to get what he wanted if he wanted it bad enough. Right now it was difficult to tell himself not to kill Gabe the moment he landed on the doorstep. But Greed wanted to keep Zoe. He couldn't keep her if he destroyed all she had left. It hadn't ever stopped him before, but he'd not exactly been here before.

He waded through flood water, rain and wind to get to her place. He didn't exactly think Hell Kings would be following him out in this mess. Half the city was out of power. They had more to be concerned about. Greed wasn't focused on that right now. Lust wasn't even here to bang his frustrations out on. He had to fix this himself, even if it meant putting on a fake face for Gabe to see. Greed would not let go of his precious things.

He showed up at their door soaked to the bone with a chill to his skin. His lips were turning blue from the cold rain. He pounded on the door through shivers. It at least gave enough of a pitiful scene that he wouldn't be turned away, and perhaps that had been his plan all along.
