Adam’s death.

It was so sudden, and no one had expected it. All of Heaven was having a hard time adjusting to life without the cocky first man, but one particular person was having trouble accepting it more than anyone. That being Adam’s lieutenant, his right hand woman, Lute.

Lute was taking the death of Adam like a punch to a gut. She wasn’t handling it well, to say the least. It was like a chunk of her was missing, and she hated it. She was currently in Adam’s office, looking through stuff, trying to relive the memories. The loss of Adam, of her partner in crime, was making her feel so many emotions. Sadness, grief, and most of all, anger. She hated that she couldn’t protect him, that she let him get killed. It was driving her up the wall.

Lute looked in a drawer of Adam’s desk, finding a picture of them two together, labeled “our first extermination”. Lute broke down, tears filling her eyes more than they ever have before. She wiped her tears angrily, slamming his fist onto the desk. She suddenly heard an oh so familiar voice behind her.

”Easy there, danger tits.”

Lute knew that voice too well, and that nickname- only one person in heaven and hell combined ever called her that. It had to be Adam. She turned around, seeing him just standing there, as if nothing had happened. But something was off, he seemed… translucent?

“Adam..?”
