Who:
Greed, Zoe, Satan [and baby Ava, the stolen kid]
When:
Tuesday afternoon
What:
First date!
Where:
Out for a bite to eat with nanny Zoe Chloe and his new puppy when Satan crashes the party.
Warnings:
Language, Satan doing satan-y things?
Notes: Putting this up now as tomorrow starts my lovely long week of work...


The police had been on the lookout for the missing little girl, but with the mother in hysterics it was hard to know where to begin an investigation. They had her picture up on watch, but without a solid story from the mother it was a losing case. Greed hadn't returned it, it was his bargaining chip at getting to see Zoe without suspicion. It didn't mean he hadn't left a trail of discord. Whenever he plucked living things from their usual environment his bread crumbs were invisible, but the damage was solid. In little over a week the husband of the scatterbrained mother had moved out, split their bank accounts and had started to believe that his wife had drug their child off to die. There was hardly any one that believed otherwise. Even her fellow church goers had started to doubt her credibility.

Meanwhile Greed had dragged the kid home like a lost puppy, much to Lust's dismay. As long as her darling boy was happy, bouncy even and kept his mind off the mortal girl who had drug him into a ruin of 'feelings' she had become lax on the baby toy. As far as Greed knew she had no idea that his 'nanny' was in fact the girl he'd spilled about. He lied to her every day Zoe left, but was starting to lose the restraint on the glow he had whenever the girl came to the door. Eventually, Lust would find out. Eventually, Zoe would learn of Lust and what her role really was for Greed, but for now he was suiting himself up for a date.

Ava was not devoid of pretty and expensive clothes. Her yellow dress was a striking contrast against Greed's suit and glasses. Under the expensive outerwear no one would even think to look for the little girl.

He may not be able to hold Zoe's hand or smooch on her in public, but it was getting to venture out without suspicion that he was eating up. He bounced Ava on his arm for a time before he grew tired and threw her to Zoe. No one would ever suspect that he was a deadly sin, she his girlfriend or that they both strolled down the street with a stolen baby.

Zoe cuddled Ava, admittedly growing attached to the baby even though she knew she'd have to be returned soon. She didn't agree with Greed kidnapping the child but she didn't want to stomp too much on his Sin-ness. The girl was healthy and happy and from what she'd learned from the church people she was getting more attention and love now than she had been before. It didn't make it right but Zoe's own lack of parents made her want people who still had their kids to appreciate them.

"You're better dressed than I am." she said to the pudgy bundle and kissed her cheek as the little girl played with her locket. Lust still scared the crap out of her but her interactions with the woman were limited, but it was hard to hide her own elation whenever she saw Greed or how her smile warmed when he did some small thing for her. But even when they walked down the street, she tried to keep distance, but her arm was always brushing against his, when they'd be waiting, she'd lean against him a little without realizing it, just several small tiny signs that this wasn't quite the professional relationship they were trying to make it seem.

She really liked being able to go out with Greed even if they couldn't be a real couple, they knew they were in a relationship and it was enough for her. So far no Virtues had tried to bust them up and none of his siblings really knew the truth so tried to stop them. It was oddly peaceful and.. happy.

The baby wasn't dead yet, which spoke well of what Zoe was teaching him on taking care of something without suffocating it. Eventually, he would grow tired of taking care of it. The baby didn't talk, it liked him, but there was only so much entertainment it would provide him. Once her newness wore off he'd stash it back on the church footsteps.

Ava clapped her hands and tugged on Zoe's hair. "I coulda have just bought you the uniform," Greed said with a snort. "Though the one I was looking at might have been a little too revealing." Zoe was more awkward about things, which was a nice switch from girls who pushed their boobs into his face. He liked that too, but he liked her quirkiness.

Zoe wrinkled her nose and smiled at the baby as she messed with her hair, gently untangling her chubby little fingers.

She gave him a look, "Yes.. but then everyone would get peek at my.." she eyed Ava and said, "..cookies." she looked back at Greed, "So I can wear those things and everyone can get an eyeful. Or you can harass me in private and wear me down like you normally do and only you can see." she bumped his arm, "But this dress is really really nice and shockingly classy, so thank you, again."

"Does that mean if I buy it you'll wear it just for me?" He put his hand to his chest. "I'm touched, really," he started to fake a tear, choking up his voice. After the silly display he cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses. "Consider it a birthday present I never got." The dress was simple, classy and his favorite shade of yellow.

Zoe laughed and bumped him again, "You're such a jerk." she bounced Ava in her arms and raised her brows, "Who says I didn't get you an actual birthday present?"

"It's my middle name isn't it? Or did I tell you that yet?" He let Zoe cling to the baby if only to keep up the rouse as they walked slowly down the street. He was just enjoying not having to stash her away in the dark, though stashing her away had become quite a talent. He had other creative ways up his sleeve to see her, this one was the most low key.

"Oh?" He heard present and his ears perked.

Zoe grinned, "I kinda figured it out on my own. Though for a while I thought your middle name was 'stalker' or 'buttface' or 'douche', but no, 'Jerk' fits you best." she switched Ava to her other side, the baby seemed to be gaining weight probably a side effect from being with her Uncle Greed a tad too much. But this.. was nice. It was a sense of normal they weren't ever going to have. Just a couple and their kid going out to eat.

She nodded, "Yes, but you're going to have to do your least favorite thing in the world.." she looked at him with an apologetic smile, "Wait." then explained, "It's sort of in parts.. kinda. Anyways, you'll see soon. Where are we eating?"

"I was very careful at picking out my middle name, I'm touched you agree. It suits me." There was something curious about her and how she was with Ava. It wasn't the first time Greed had influenced a kid, a baby even, but it was one of the first times he'd kept one. This one unlike other kids was leverage on getting to see his girlfriend. He poked her leg, Ava drawing it back and giggling. She was always happy around him, the youngest apprentice he'd ever had. He liked the idea of having a minion to guide, it was almost as if he was playing father.

"Are you serious?" he groaned. "Waiting is such a horrible thing to do to me..." He pressed a hand to her back, pushing her to keep walking. "Somewhere where I can drop a lot of plastic."

Zoe wagged a finger at Ava, "You like him too much. You're gonna over inflate his already massive ego and I'm gonna be stuck dealing with him. You listening?" but the only answer she got was Ava blowing a spit bubble and bouncing in her arms as she grabbed Zoe's finger. "Aw honey, she has your attention span.." she chuckled a little.

She instinctively leaned in to Greed a little when he put his hand on her back, the move feeling so natural she didn't give it a passing thought. She grinned, "I know, your suffering is just a nice added bonus." she was curious where they were going, she wasn't used to fancy places but it wasn't like she was a country bumpkin.

Sometimes, God was really on her side. That was the only conclusion Satan could come to as she watched Greed from a distance. Not only did he have his new pet baby with him (honestly, where had she gone wrong with the Sins?), but there was a woman with him too. Satan had initially assumed the woman was a prostitute or some hanger-on of Greed, but watching their interaction made it clear that this was something...different.

Satan smiled.

She'd been out and about to iron out the details of a contract with the CEO of an up-and-coming tech company, but he'd stood her up. Unsurprising. Humans often got skittish when it came to selling their souls. She'd pay him a visit later tonight, all soothing words and understanding, and see what happened next. In the meantime, this was so much more interesting.

"What a cute little thing," Satan said, appearing suddenly behind them.

"Fuck!" Greed spat the moment Satan made an appearance. He immediately grabbed Ava from Zoe's grasp putting some distance from his girlfriend. He protectively balanced the little girl in his arms. "Fancy seeing you here. In that form even. Last time we were out you were your uglier self." Greed knew nothing of what Satan had already done to Wrath and Sloth, but he knew he had his whipping coming.

He completely ignored Zoe, her status dropping to nanny immediately. From the defensiveness in his tone she would do well to not say a word.

Zoe had barely time to process a woman's voice before Ava was grabbed from her arms. She blinked and looked at Greed. What the hell? She looked back at the blonde. Hmm. Well. From what little he'd already said it sounded like this was not a normal woman. Could be a random past hook up. Or another sibling perhaps? She'd met two of them, both really not even close to the realm of nice and the third she'd heard about.. ran a sex trafficking ring. She had a feeling the other three weren't peaches either. She also remembered how Greed had told that he was the only one out of his siblings who didn't kill for sport..

Either way, this seemed kinda unpleasant. So she decided to stay quiet for now.

"Oh Greed, such hurtful words," Satan said, swanning over to the fat little baby and cooing at it. It had the added benefit of putting Satan slightly between Greed and his girlfriend.

"Aren't you an adorable little kidnapping victim?" Satan said, wiggling her fingers in the baby's face before turning to Zoe. "And you! I don't think I've seen you before."

The baby stuck out its bottom lip when Satan talked to her. She started to cry, but when Greed cooed at her lightly she clung to his chest with a face full of spit bubbles. She rested her head against him. "You're not taking it from me." He kept a protective hand on her back soothingly.

Then Satan turned to Zoe and Greed's eyes were sharp. "That's the nanny." He spoke off-handedly. Not usually his type so Satan shouldn't expect anything. "I stole her with the baby."

Zoe frowned in concern for the baby when she started to cry but Greed seemed to calm her down annnnnd then the blonde was looking at her. She let Greed say who she was and felt uncomfortable and didn't know why. For sure she wasn't the normal fare that Greed had on his arm, she wasn't slutty or oozing sex in the least.

Zoe gave a small quick wave, "Hi. Yes. Ava's nanny." and she pointed at the baby and tried for a smile.

"I'm sure," Satan said, offering an entirely insincere smile. "Because he's usually so good with people." She turned back to Greed, smiling at the still-fussy baby. Children never liked being around her. "And I'm so glad I caught up to you, Greed. You've been a little harder to track down then your brother and sister."

"Is this the proverbial swat on the nose for killing you, or did you dress as a girl for my benefit?" Greed laughed. Greed knew this could get ugly, but he wondered just how far Satan would go when he had a child as a shield.

"What about my brother and sister?" His face turned sour. "What did you do?"

Zoe looked a little startled, killing you. Was this Lucifer? Or maybe Satan? She looked to the side, trying to cover up her surprise and absolute dread that was like a snake crawling down her spine.

She wanted to reach out and touch Greed's arm, some small gesture to show him that she was there with him, especially when he got riled up about his siblings. She knew how important family was to him.. but she kept her hands to herself and stayed rooted to the spot.

Satan took note of the woman's reaction, smirking. So Greed had told her about the Sins and their misadventures in Devil-hunting.

"This is just happenstance," Satan said, crossing her arms. She was completely unsurprised that Greed was using a baby as a human shield. "I was in the neighborhood and saw you. Sloth and Wrath, on the other hand, they took a little bit of hunting."

His teeth bared at the mention of his siblings. "Plucking us off one by one for sport? I think I should be a little offended you didn't find me first. I thought I was the favorite." He gave Satan a half-grin, he was fuming on the inside of his usual banter.

Ava started to pout, her cheeks puffed up with tears. Babies sensed things about people and she could tell her temporary daddy was on edge. It made her upset, her eyes scrunching tightly as she opened her mouth to cry.

"Don't run, human," Satan said, her teeth just a little sharper than normal when she smiled at Zoe. "Sparks those predatory instincts, you know."

Turning back to Greed, she said, "I move in mysterious ways, dear. Although while we're talking about it, do you think I should torture Gluttony or not? I did charbroil him, after all."

Shit shit shit! He'd been careful all this time, the one shot he had and Satan ruined his date! He wasn't going to let Zoe be a crispy critter, not after Lucifer had torched everything he had. He didn't make a move towards her though when Satan lashed out. Part of him wanted to influence her to run, but that would be too obvious. Satan would certainly fry her then if she felt like it.

The baby wailed drawing eyes over, which saved his ass now but the moment he let it out of his hands....

"Why go for Glutt? He makes a great barbecue I agree, but no fun in it." He wasn't about to let Satan stick a poker in his excess sibs. It was just crossing a really fine line.

Zoe lifted her hands in an innocent gesture of defense to Satan, "Wouldn't dream of it." she stayed put where she was, not even looking at Greed. They were playing his game now and she had no idea what the rules were. All she could do for the moment was breathe and hope to keep doing it.

"Because I'm very irritated at all of you," Satan said. "Honestly, you all seem so baffled by this. 'Why is the Devil being so mean about my murder and betrayal?'"

"You called out the thunder when you started to say we were your toys." Greed gave Satan the shake of his head. "I'm not a pet, I'm an idea," his one arm waved out as if basking in his own head. "You took Wrath." He was throwing it back at Satan that that had been an obvious move on their part. "Do you really want us all against you? We work with you. But we are our own entities." Greed was getting ahead of himself because he felt so strongly on the idea even if he used people and things as his toys. Baby Ava was a prime example. Then again, baby Ava was not as close to him as the fake nanny standing off to the side. If Satan really wanted to hurt Greed he'd go for grabbing him by the balls. That meant Zoe or that meant Lust. It also meant Glutt. If he went for either of his excess sins, they were sure to feel the burn of the other.

"You're all very scary when you're in a mob and wielding machine guns," Satan said. "But the nice thing about you all is that you can never work together for long. Eventually, you start picking at each other, and then it's easy pickings."

"I don't know I found it kind of cool. That was a very nice gift from Pride. It even had my name all over it." He laughed nudging the baby's nose with his finger. "So what is it you want to do? Kill me? Because that's such a boring ending."

Satan laughed. "Hardly. What would be the point, since you'll just pop back up again? No, I think something more lasting is in order. Of course, I suppose a bullet to the head is pretty lasting for a human."

She leaned forward towards Ava as she said it, but her eyes drifted towards Zoe.

The baby started to whine pulling away from Satan. "Oh come on," Greed showed complete calmness but he was furious inside. "What's the fun in killing humans?" Ava curled her hand around Greed's finger, "You can't play with them after that. Then its just like fucking a rag doll." He huffed a little puff of air. "Gross."

He did take a step that time towards Zoe as if he were about to hand over the kid."

"You humanitarian," Satan said, grinning from ear to ear. "I'll take your thoughts on the usefulness of a dead body into consideration when I decide what to do with you and the rest of your siblings. Lucifer will be joining me, we're making it a couple thing. Lot's of fun."

Greed handed Ava to Zoe. Satan wasn't going to intimidate him, but he was still in command. Whether Greed didn't want to be under his thumb or not. "Ohhh," Greed clapped his hands joyfully. "Do I get party favors? Or balloons, I love balloons. And cake. Don't forget the cake. Sounds like it's going to be one blast of a party. I look forward to it." He wasn't going to go down cowering in fear, Greed didn't work like that.

"I know I'm looking forward to it, too," Satan said, leaning forward to pat Greed on the head. She turned to Zoe. "It was lovely to meet you, nameless human associate of Greed. Your death will be horrifying."

And with that, Satan was gone, only the faint smell of fire and sulfur to mark her disappearance.

Zoe held Ava to her, a hand on the back of the baby's head protectively as she watched the exchange between Greed and Satan. Greed seemed to act like it was no big deal but this was freakin' THE DEVIL, she was shocked she was so calm. Well, shocked might be the right word since that's probably why she was so calm. She was in shock. Or losing her mind. Please please please be just be going insane.

She didn't say anything when Satan delivered her perky threat but as soon as the blonde poofed, Zoe let go of a breath she didn't know she'd been holding as her knees buckled. She didn't know if she was going to pass out or be sick.

He gave Satan a thumbs up, two to he exact and a grin. Whatever they had coming his way, he wasn't about to let them get theory hands on what belonged to him. Even of it meant shipping Zoe overseas for some time.

He turned to catch her arm just before her legs gave out. "No passing out on me..." He wrapped both arms around her to steady the poor girl. She was about to panic now, he knew it and he couldn't let her. His big plan had backfired on him...he may have to swing I.to his contingency plan if this got ugly.

Zoe shook like a leaf in his arms, they were pretty much the only thing holding her up. She couldn't believe that the devil looked like a mean girl in high school. People always joked about those girls being Satan but who the hell thought it was actually true? And that cheerleader with death pom pom's was coming after her.

"The devil wants to kill me.." she said quietly in disbelief against him as if maybe saying it out loud made it better. Nope, made it worse. Much worse. And it would sound crazy if it wasn't freaking true!

"He's not going to kill you," He pulled her back, his hands bracing her shoulders. Ava also started to calm down, poking her bottom lip out as she pulled on Zoe's hair.

Greed snapped his fingers. "Zoe...look at me. No one is going to get you. No one is going to to take you from me."

Zoe looked dazed and scared and only when Greed snapped his fingers did she snap out of it a little. She looked in his eyes, nodding along to what he was saying. The fear didn't lessen but he could see in her eyes that she trusted him. She believed him when he said she'd be okay and with him.

The tug at her hair also alerted back to the pudge she carried in her arms. Her face fell into concern for the tyke and she looked at the baby and then to Greed, "What about Ava..?"

"What about Ava?" He yanked the kid back defensively, holding her away. "I'm not giving her back," he pouted as spit bubbles were thrown in his face. He wiped them off his hand with a disgusted face. She bounced on his arm, clinging to the lapels of his jacket. Before he could say another word she slapped the glasses off his face with a giggle.

Zoe grabbed the glasses before they fell and held them in her hand, "I'm not telling you to give her back. But I am telling you that if the devil has her sights on killing me, Ava is going to be like squashing a hamster to her. And while you did a good job of hiding any attachment to me, a blind person can see you really like her."

She rubbed the baby's back in his arms and looked at him, "Keep her if you want but she'd be safer back with her parents and the devil thinking you got bored of her." she wasn't going to make that decision for Greed but he'd know that it'd be difficult to protect both the baby and Zoe and keep Lust in the dark and try to deal with the hell kings. Someone was going to get hurt.

He brushed his knuckle over Ava's cheek. He was fond of the little chubby thing. It liked him, but he didn't want it to be broken before he let it go. Babies were tough, but not tough enough to survive Satan's inferno. He seemed really uncomfortable with giving her back, especially when she latched onto his finger.

Zoe knew it was hard for Greed and she put an arm around his waist and rested her head against him as she looked at the baby that was so fond of him. She didn't say anything, he heard her the first time. She wouldn't push him to do what was right but he knew if he wanted to keep Ava alive, her best bet of survival would be back home with her real parents. It also meant that he had no reason to keep seeing Zoe but hell, they'd figure something out. And she'd go with him to return the baby of course if he decided that but she stayed quiet, wanting the decision to come from him.
