Kissa nods. “I mean, it’s not like you’d notice cause his wings are always invisible.” She gives Gabriel and irritated shove and he blushes. “He’s an idiot, so there are a lot of fun stories.”
He shove her with his elbow. “Cut it out, Kiss, I’m not an idiot.”
Cage takes a noodle from Miki’s plate and eats it slowly. “Mmmm. Not too bad.”
"He's not an idiot, but please tell me more." Silver said. "He didn't tell me stories like that."
Miki ate a bite, closing her eyes as she chewed. After she swallowed, she whispered, "Am I dying yet."

Kissa ruffles his hair and he glares, trying to sink further into the couch.
“So I trained to be an Angel at the time, and Gabriel was just doing the physical training, which is not hard at all. Angel training is waaay more work and a lot scarier. Anyways, I’d come home exhausted every day, and he’d always come homed with a small scratch or cut on his cheekbone. Always. Apparently it was just easy to cut? But it was weird.”
Cage stares at her. “I’ll tell Robby you wanted to meet her. And Ben that you wanted to kill him.” He pats her arm. “It’s okay to die.”
"What's an Angel? And why did you always cut your cheek, Gabe?"
Miki coughed, trying not to choke as she laughed. "Cage! I do not want to kill Ben! Why would you say that??"
group
Cage laughs, “to make you not die. Anyways, he would bring you back to life just to fight you.”
Gabriel materializes, glaring at Kiss. A grin crosses her lips. “An Angel is higher class strong women. They were basically our military but were trained in magic. The guys have weaker minds so can’t do much magic so they’re trained for physical combat.”
Gabriel opens his mouth to defend himself but pauses for a moment. “I- I don’t know why my cheekbone was always cut. It just. Was?”
Miki snorted. "He really would though. I guess we're all safe from dying cuz he would be like 'NO YOU CAN'T DIE' and bring us back just to argue about whether we could die or not."
"Oooohh," Silver said. "That's really cool. Like, everything in your world is so structured and planned out and stuff."
group
Cage snorts. “He would. My brother is nuts, just sayin.” He goes to the stove, filling a plate with pasta. “I wonder, if he has kids, how whacko they’ll be.”
Kissa chuckles. “I mean, yeah. That’s kinda why we look down in humans.” Gabriel shoves her.
“Geez, Kiss. Be nice.”
"No." Miki said. "Nu-uh. He already has enough kids with just us." she paused, staring at her plate. "But Cage." she whispered. "He and Vi are married now so… what if they do have kids???" she looked up at him, eyes filled with horror.
Silver laughed. "Well, thanks, Kiss. Maybe that's why they sent you to us–so you can fix our chaotic ways."
group
Cage whispers back, “Ben would die. I think. I have no idea.”
She nods, her nose in the air. “I guess.”
Gabriel rolls his eyes. “Wow. You’re so full of it, Kiss.”
"We can't let them have any kids." Miki said, keeping her voice low. "For Ben's safety. And everyone else's."
Silver covered her mouth with her hand, still giggling. "Well, if that's the case, then you haven't done a very good job." she raised her eyebrows, eyes alight.
group
Cage giggles quietly. “Knowing Vi, Miki, she’s gonna want a baby in a few years.”
She glares. “Whatever.” She checks her watch, blinking. “Geez, why is our bedtime so early?”
“They said you can stay awake in your room.” Gabriel states.
She sighs, leaning back. “Yeah, but that’s no fun.”
Miki nodded solemnly. "Okay. Well. When that happens we'll have to sit down with Ben and Vi and make sure they're ready and they understand what it involves."
Silver rolled her eyes. "Oh my word, Kiss, you have the best bedroom in the house and you don't even like being in it. If I had your room I would chill on that huge bed all day long."
group
“Do we know what that involves? I’ve never had a baby.” Cage states, taking a bit of pasta.
She huffs and glares across the room. “No. It’s no fun. What am I supposed to do??”
Gabriel shrugs, “I don’t know, maybe be thankful for what you have for once?”
"Well, neither have I." Miki said. "But I raised Silver so I kinda know what babies and kids are like."
Silver groaned and leaned back over the arm of the sofa. "We could hang out in your room if you didn't bite anyone who walked in. That would be more fun than chilling by yourself."
group
Cage shoves his plate of pasta to the side and leans on the counter. “I guess maybe. But then Ben probably knows too, because he had me from a really young age too.”
Kissa shrugs. “You can hang out in my room tonight I guess…”
Gabriel smiles. “Yeah? You sure?”
She rolls her eyes. “Don’t make me regret it.”
Miki nodded. "True. I guess he does know what he's doing. Maybe his kids would be alright."
Silver slowly sat up, raising an eyebrow at Kissa. "You won't bite me?"
group
Kissa scowls. “I didn’t say that.”
“She won’t bite.” Gabriel reassures.
“Yeeeah, no I still think he doesn’t want kids. They’re too hard.” He gasps. “Miki! Will our kids inherit our elements?”
Silver grinned. "Well, I'll just bite back. And then tattle to Ben."
"OHMYWORD." Miki cried, grabbing his arms. "WHAT IF THEY DID? THAT WOULD BE SO COOL."
group
Kissa goes to respond, but turns her head towards Miki and Cage. “Geez, what’s going on??”
Cage turns, beaming, “WHAT IF our kids inherit elemental powers?!?”
Silver's eyes widened. "Why are you talking about that??"
"NO BUT SIL" Miki said. "What if your kids are born with tiny leetle wings???"
group
Cage stands from his chair. "OMG yes! And what if Ben had little evil fire children? This would be amazing!"
Kissa stares in disgust. "If you mean amazing by totally terrible, then yes. Nobody here wants mini-Ben's running around."
Gabriel raises an eyebrow. "Like a normal toddler, times five. But all in one toddler."
Miki burst out laughing. "Can you imagine though?? They would set everything on fire!"
Silver rolled her eyes. "How do you two even think of these things?"
group
Kissa closes her eyes, taking in a deep breath.
I can't believe I live with these people.
Cage smiles, "But wouldn't it be cool if our kids had powers? Sil?"
Silver raised her eyebrows. "Um? No? I wouldn't want to inflict my abilities on anyone."
"Okay, but what if it wasn't your abilities? What if you had kids with… fire, like Ben."
Silver shook her head violently. "No. Fire children would be even worse."
group
Cage squints. “Also. It wouldn’t make much sense for our kids to have different powers than us. I don’t think. Maybe.”
Kissa stands, waving them off. “Whatever. You guys are weird.” She walks into the kitchen, grabbing a hidden package of Oreos, and heads upstairs.
Cage watches as she trails off. “Ssoooooo. What random and weird think shall we do with the time we have left?”
Silver rolled off the couch, hitting the floor and using her wings to rise back to her feet. "Sorry, Kiss invited me to hang out with her in her room and even if she kills me later I'm not passing up an opportunity to chill on her awesome bed."
Miki gave her a skeptical look as she passed. "It was nice knowing you, sis. I will remember you fondly."
group
Cage pulls himself up onto the couch and Gabriel promptly stands, turning invisible and walking away. “Are you sure she didn’t forget her offer, Sil? She might kill you on sight.”
Silver waved to them over her shoulder and flew up to the second story. "Ta ta." she said blandly and disappeared down the hall. Ducking into her room, she grabbed her bag of stashed candy and tip toed to Kissa's doorway.
Miki groaned and flopped on the floor. "Whatever. They can go have their adult talks away from us where they can't ruin our fun." she paused for a second and said, "CAGE, what if you and Robby have tiny little water babies???"
group
Cage blushes, but not before smiling. “I was more of thinking, Kissa is going to have demons as children.”
Kissa is sprawled out on her bed, her bed stand holding her laptop as she scrolls through movies.
"Oh no." Miki said, staring at the ceiling in horror. "We can't ever ever let her get married, Cage."
Silver tapped on the door, pushing it open a few inches. "So… is that invitation open right now or do you need some time alone for a while?" she asked quietly.
