Warlock's idea was to have Raphael move into the Stark home as Crowley's Nanny, Ruth, with Aziraphale as her son, Alex. It took quite a bit of convincing and miracles to get her the job but it was worth it if you asked Warlock. Especially when he saw the horrified look on Crowley's face when the poor demon was first subjected to Raphael's new parenting techniques and the pride Warlock saw in Crowley's eyes when he was told just where Raphael got these new techniques from warms up his heart, even though he knows that Crowley is going to prank him as payback sometime in the future.

Of course Anthony's parents, aka his mom, is pleased that they have finally found a Nanny that Anthony won't chase away and she even has a son his age for him to play with. But with them around his parents are home lesser than before as they focus on their work without worrying about their son.

Not that Anthony cares, he quite likes it when they aren't around, it gives him more time for him to be himself and he gets to spend time with Ruth and Alex, he is most excited to be able to spend so much time with Alex but he isn't going to tell that to anyone.

It is currently Halloween, they are all getting ready to go treat or trick for the first time and they are very excited. Well...the angels are excited anyway. Honestly speaking Crowley just wants to curl up in front of the fireplace with a nice hot cup of coffee but seeing as he isn't allowed to have coffee yet and Aziraphale is, to the humans anyway, young enough to go treat or trick but won't go if Crowley doesn't want to so the chose was obvious.

"The things I do for the two of you." Crowley sighs softly. Raphael had prepared angel costumes for all of them but he managed to get his hands on his costume before Halloween. He threw away the halo, dyed the wings and robes black, don't ask where he got the dye from, and got his hands on a long red wig, again do not ask where he got it from. All in all, he looks like the younger version of himself when he first met Aziraphale, minus his Serpent eyes, demonic powers and the tattoo at the side of his face.

"But you two look so precious!" Raphael squeal in joy as she takes pictures of Crowley and Aziraphale.

"This is ridiculous, there is no need to take so many pictures." Crowley crosses his arms.

"Oh don't be a spoilsport, Crowley. Let Raphael take as many pictures as she wants, it'll be nice to have photos to look back to." Aziraphale smiled as he holds the handle of his pumpkin bucket with both of his hands.

Crowley rolls his eyes. "Fine. At least she didn't insist on turning my costume back to white."

"Mrs Stark has already seen your costume and she'll ask questions if you are wearing a different costume in the pictures..." Raphael pout sadly, yes she has the power to change her memories but she doesn't want to do that to the woman who has been so nice to them.

"Thank someone she walked in when I made sure it is dyed properly," Crowley said as he straightens his robes before picking up his own pumpkin basket. "Shall we go?"

Raphael nods her head as she put the camera away. "Let's go!" She said as she fishes out the car keys, she doesn't actually know how to drive but a little miracle can make the car self-driving and all she has to do is to keep her hands on the wheel so humans won't suspect anything.

"I still can't believe you think Raphael is a better driver than me, she doesn't even know how to drive!" Crowley pout, he complains about it every time Raphael 'drive' them anyway and there are no humans around.

"Because she follows the rules of the road, unlike some demon we know." Aziraphale rolls his eyes, already used to Crowley's complaint.

Raphael giggled softly as she opens the door for them and closes it when she made sure they have their seat belts on. She got into the driver's seat and snap her fingers before putting her hands on the wheel as the car drive itself to the nearest neighbourhood.

"Look at all the candy we got!" Aziraphale smiled in excitement as he looks into his basket only to frown when he saw a mini toothpaste. "I understand the concern of children's dental hygiene with all the candy they'll be eating but do they really think that their parents don't have the money to buy toothpaste?" He asked as he picks up the mini toothpaste to show the other two.

Crowley chuckles softly. "You are just upset that you have one less candy to enjoy, Angel."

"Wha- no! I just think it is ridiculous to give out things like this when this whole holiday is basically a way for children to enjoy themselves!" Aziraphale huffed as he drops the mini toothpaste back into his basket.

Crowley laughed as he wraps an arm around Aziraphale. "I'm just teasing, Angel."

Raphael watches them both with loving eyes as they walk down the street to the next house. It has almost been a year since she became Nanny Ruth and it warms her heart to see Crowley and Aziraphale lower the guard they were forced to put up around each other before and just enjoy each others company without worry that they would be caught and smite down by Heaven and Hell.

Both Aziraphale and Raphael froze in their step as they walk past a house that is boarded up. Crowley raises an eyebrow as he watches the angels both turn to look at the house. "What's wrong?" He asked curiously.

"Something evil is in there..." Aziraphale said softly as he eyes the house with worry in his eyes. "I sense a powerful demon being summoned."

"Impossible! We destroyed all the books on summoning demons...didn't we?" Crowley looks at the house with a frown on his face, he couldn't feel anything thanks to his sealed powers.

"We might have missed a few and no one tried it till now," Aziraphale said as he moves to deal with the demon, because he is still an angel created to fight and protect, but was stopped by Raphael.

"Stay here with Crowley," Raphael ordered Aziraphale before walking towards the house, with a snap of her fingers the door opened for her and closed behind her as she follows the scent of evil to the basement where a group of teenagers are standing in a summoning circle with a demon in the middle. With another snap of her fingers, time froze for the teenagers and her costume is replaced with her angelic clothes.

"Ah, what do we have here?" The demon turns to face Raphael with a grin on his face. "I got summoned here for the first time in centuries and find an angel waiting for me."

"You will leave this mortal realm and return to Hell, Demon. I will not repeat my request twice." Raphael ordered coldly, this is a powerful demon and she is worried he will escape and hurt Crowley.

The Demon snarled. "Do you know who I am? I am the Duke of Hell-" He was cut off by a voice that made Raphael's blood run cold.

"Hastur!" Crowley's eyes widen in shock when he saw him, they have really fucked up badly to leave a summoning spell strong enough to summon the Duke of Hell.

Hastur looked up when he heard his name being called and his own eyes widen in shock. "Crowley...? How..." He turns back to face the angel in front of him only to find a sword in his face. He gasps in fear as he takes a step back, his back hitting the invisible wall created by the summoning circle.

Out of all the celestial weapons used by angels only three were created by God herself. Three swords, one for each for the first three Archangels. There is no mistaking the weapon in front of him, the weapon that can only be wielded by. "Raphael..." Hastur whispered and swallowed nervously.

Raphael walks threateningly towards the demon, she is ready to fight if she has to but luckily for her, the demon is smart enough to leave before things got bloody. She let out a sigh of relief before turning to Crowley with a stern look on her face. "I told you to wait outside." She said as she modified the teenagers' memory and summoning circle before swapping their magical book with an exact copy, with only the summoning demons chapter changed so they won't be able to summon another demon again.

"No, you told Aziraphale to stay with me. You never said I needed to wait outside." Crowley pointed out.

"I am very sorry, I couldn't stop him." Aziraphale looks at Raphael apologetically.

Raphael sighs softly as she snaps her fingers so her clothes are changed back to her costume and sent the book to Aziraphale's shop, she is sure he would enjoy adding that to his collection. "It's quite alright, Aziraphale. What's done is done, what were you thinking coming down here?" She asked as she leads them out of the house and starts time for the teenagers when they are far enough away from the house.

"I wanted to check in on you, you have never dealt with a demon before much less know how to send them back to Hell. Though I have to admit, I wasn't expecting you to scare Hastur back to Hell." Crowley chuckles softly.

Raphael smiled softly, she can never stay mad at her Star. "It is like you said, I don't know how to send a demon back to Hell. I do, however, know how to scare celestial beings away so why not use what still works?" She giggled softly. She might be nice but she has a temper and no one wants to be at the other end of her sword when she is mad.

Okay, technically no one wants to be on the other end of anyone's sword, much less someone who is angry with them, but she has shown during the war that even though she is the Archangel of healing she is still dangerous and no one should mess with her or her patients. A group of skilled warrior angels had tried to smite her patients while they are down during the war only for her to take the whole group down herself. Of course, she treated them as her patients once they are down but still, it is a reminder to everyone that she isn't a pushover and is just as powerful as Michael and Gabriel.

"Look at all the candies we got! The last few houses were really generous to give us the rest of their candies!" Aziraphale said happily, hugging his basket close to his chest, Raphael may or may not have miracle the basket to hold more candies than it is actually able to, as they walk up the steps to their home.

"Well it is quite late and we are the last ones still treat or tricking, they probably just want to get rid of the rest of their candies." Crowley shrugs his shoulders. "I am actually surprised you let us treat or trick for so long, Raphael. Usually, you go on and on about the importance of getting enough sleep."

"Well it is our first Halloween and-" Raphael stopped because when she opens the door to let the children in she saw Hastur standing there waiting for them. "What are you doing here?" She growled as she stands in front of the children protectively.

"Nice to meet you again," Hastur grunted before forcing a smile and gesture to the living room. "Right this way please." He can't help the growl at the back of his throat as he said the last word.

Raphael looks at him suspiciously as he walks off without waiting for their answer. "What do you think?" She asked Crowley.

Crowley bites his lip as he thinks. "I say we follow him, best to get this all done and over with before Mom, Jarvis and dad returns."

"Alright, but stay between us, Star." Raphael walks towards the living room and gasped loudly when she saw who's inside.

Two very different groups of people are in their living room, on the right is Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Sandalphon, and on the left is Hastur, who has moved to stand with his fellow demons after opening the door, two demons Raphael doesn't know the name to and Lucifer, sitting on the couch like he owns the place.

"Ah Raphael, it is good to see you again." Lucifer, wearing a black suit and a devilish smirk on his handsome face that is framed by his flowing wavy red hair, raise the glass of wine in his hand. "I haven't seen you since the Fall." His red eyes land on the tiny hand clutching the side of her robes and the red hair that belongs to the child trying to look into the room, he was going to say more when Gabriel cut him off.

"No one has seen her since the Fall." Gabriel glared at his once brother before turning to his sister. "We won't even know you were here if you didn't summon your sword."

"Maybe it's because I don't want to be found by Heaven? Have you ever thought of that?" Raphael glared at her brother.

"Why? Over an angel? Sister, there are plenty of angels in Heaven." Gabriel shakes his head.

Raphael's face turns red with anger as she stomped up to Gabriel, leaving Crowley out in the open, and punch him hard enough to knock him off his feet. "HE IS MY SON!" She yelled in anger.

"And mine as well but you don't see me punching Gabriel for being an ass."

Raphael turns around, ready to yell at Lucifer for claiming her son only for her words to fail her when she saw the scene in front of her. Crowley is currently in Lucifer's arms with Hastur and the two unknown demons standing between her son and a very distressed Principality. "Let him go, Lucifer," Raphael ordered coldly as her sword materialised in her hand.

"Now why would I do anything like that?" Lucifer smirked as he holds Crowley close to his sturdy body, knowing that Raphael won't attack as long as he is still holding Crowley. "Did you really think a fledgeling was able to survive in Hell without anyone taking them under their wings?"

Raphael narrow her eyes. "Star, is there something you are not telling us?" She said it in a tone that promise that Crowley will be in more trouble than he already is if he doesn't tell her the whole truth right now.

Crowley swallowed nervously and actually wrap his tiny hands around Lucifer's shirt for comfort before answering Raphael. "Uhh...like he said, he took me under his wings, protected me and taught me how to be a demon. When he sent me to Earth I was already fully grown and I was ordered to keep our relationship strictly King of Hell and a Demon, no one was supposed to know of...our bond..." He didn't have the courage to look at his Angels so he turns his gaze downwards.

"Okay..." Raphael closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She opens them with fire in her eyes, determined to get her son back. "You clearly broke the bond between the both of you when you started treating him like any other demon."

"Raphael, I did it to protect him and our bond was never broken! We are demons, we live in Hell, do you really think no one would try and attack him if they find out I have taken him in as my son? Especially in the beginning, you have no idea how bad things was after we were thrown out of the gates of Heaven." Lucifer sneered at the very thought of his previous home.

"And why would it be so dangerous for him? If you claim him as your son they won't dare try anything to upset their King!" Raphael glared at her brother.

"Because I'm not actually as strong as the other demons." Crowley decided to cut in before things got bloody. "Smart? Yes, but not strong. Beelzebub," He points over to one of the demons Raphael didn't know the name to. "Earned their title as the Prince of Hell, just like how Dagon," He pointed at the other demon. "Earned his title as a Lord." He looks up to face Raphael. "I didn't earn any title so if Lucifer claims me as his son and the Prince of Hell, demons would take offence to it because they earned the position they are in."

"And how exactly did they earn their title?" Raphael frown, having a feeling she won't like the answer.

Crowley looks up at Lucifer for permission and only continue when he nodded his consent. "If you forcefully breaking a bond it is very painful for the other person." He said softly, he knows that the demons won't interrupt because he has permission from their King. "Whether it is a friendship, lover, or...or the bond between Creator and Creation... The pain is...horrible. It's enough to send all the Fallen into Madness." He shivers as he remembers the pain, he only had the bond with God and Raphael and only one of the bond was broken so it wasn't enough to send him into Madness but it still hurt. "The Madness twisted the Fallen, they became violent and bloodthirsty, attacking anyone close to them with blind rage fueled by pain..." He looks away from Raphael's horrified facial expression only to catch a glimpse of Aziraphale's. He closed his eyes as he buries his face into Lucifer's chest, suddenly feeling very tired.

Lucifer gently rubs Crowley's back to comfort him as he takes over. "I don't know how long it was before I came across Serpent hiding far away from the carnage. I was fighting Beelzebub when we crashed near where he was hiding. I took Beelzebub down pretty quickly after that and chased after him so he'll be my next prey, I'm not going to lie, if he didn't run into a dead-end I won't have caught him." He gently nuzzles Crowley. "My Serpent is fast when he wants to be~"

"You didn't..." Raphael tightens her hold on her sword.

"Of course not." Lucifer rolls his eyes. "He was curled up in the corner crying for you, and well..." He turns to look at his sister. "You didn't break the bond we have nor did you break the one you have with him, the connection to you allowed me to be bought back to my senses enough to recognise that it is a fledgeling that is cowering in front of me and he is your fledgeling, the one you were so proud of." He gently removes the wig from Crowley's head so he can run his fingers through his hair. "At that point, I have already defeated all the other demon in Hell and provided that I am the strongest, that I am worthy to be their King. But a fledgeling, especially one that didn't go through the same Madness as the rest of us, was not in any condition to fight his way to the top."

"...You had to fight to earn your titles..." Raphael covered her mouth as the realisation hits her. "No. You fight to stop the pain, the titles were thought up later."

"Ding ding ding! We have a winner!" Lucifer snapped his fingers to change Crowley's costume into a pair of black pyjamas. "You have lots of information to digest and the little one is asleep." He shifts Crowley so the side of his face is resting on his chest and Raphael can see that he is indeed sleeping.

Raphael nods her head. "Aziraphale, do you mind showing Lucifer to Star's room? I still have a bunch of Archangels to deal with." She glances over to the group from Heaven that has been oddly quiet.

Aziraphale who hasn't said a word until now nods his head. "Of course, Dear. Take all the time you need." Better her than him, he really doesn't want to deal with the Archangels.

"I'll leave my demons with you," Lucifer told Raphael before turning to Beelzebub, Dagon and Hastur. "Make sure she is safe." He growled, the three of them are on thin ice because of the trial and they know it. He had put the fear of Lucifer into them and the only reason they are still alive is that he knew Crowley's still alive, he might not be able to find him but he is alive and that's all that matters.

The three of them shiver in fear before bowing. "Yes, your Majesty."

Lucifer turns around to follow the Principality to his Serpent's room. The journey was quiet and the angel, Aziraphale if he remembered correctly, keeps looking over his shoulder with worried eyes but didn't say a word as he opens the door to his Serpent's room. Lucifer pulls aside the blanket so he can lay his son down, once he is sure his Serpent is comfortable he covered him with the blanket and gently kiss his forehead. "Sweet dreams, My little Serpent." He whispered softly.

Aziraphale felt like he is introducing but his worry for his best friend kept him from leaving him alone with Lucifer. His instincts are screaming at him to take his demon away from here and hide him somewhere he would be safe but when he saw how gentle Lucifer is he allowed himself to relax slightly, his instincts still wants to grab Crowley and run but at least they aren't as loud as they were before.
