Chapter Text
The whole way back to the hotel both stayed in silence, sunk in their day dreams. The mysterious house stayed like before and when they opened the door it was the same decoration it had before the bright light.
They also kept holding their hands until they reached the border between the forest and the city, so they let their hands go. It was nice to see Alastors shadow back happy to get noticed again. In general her powers are finally back and before they made the first step, they made sure to look presentable.
"Are you ready to go?" Angel asked gentle and Alastor nod as a answer. So they walked slowly back to the hotel and had a small conversation "what will we say when people ask me where i was and am?" She asked and put her hands behind her back. This question was somehow a thing she thought a lot when she was in that house. "It's your choice what you'll do, i'll accept it" Angel answered but suddenly a few meters after they left the forest hundreds of journalists came towards them both like their life depends on them.
"Alastor is it real that you're transgender?" "Where was you all the time? Did you planned again a 7 years absence?" "Is it true that you dissapeared because of the hate from your sexuality?"
Thousands of questions got asked at one while they all holding their microphones right infront his mouth, so close that she could eat them. The glitching affected a little bit the camera but she needs now to tell the whole hell the misunderstanding of everything.
"To have it clear once and for all. I am not this thing named 'transgender' understand." She said to them in quotation marks, Angel turned to her shocked and confused but tried his best to hide it between a smiling mask. "This whole video is not true, since our dear man Vox is a good internet manipulator to controll things that you as a consumer usually don't notice. If i excuse myself, i would like to go." She continued adding in her statement and the journalists looked at him confused before they left satisfied.
"I thought you'll tell them the truth!" Angel asked her shocked and also a little bit loud when the journalists left. "After what Vox did, i'll definetly will not say the truth. But it doesn't mean that i'll hide it, in the opposite i just wait until everyone forgets it so i randomly show up with you know what i'm talking about" she explained to him and this makes a lot more sense with the statement she just gave.
"So you wait until the internet calmed down to make the surgery?" He asked to be more sure of her plans "yes, that's right" she answered and they kept walking undisturbed to the hotel.
One of Voxs drones catched them both walking together back to the hotel "WHAT WHY IS ALASTOR BACK HERE?" He screamed to the screen furious and throwed his hot cup of coffee to the screen. Angel was for a fucking week gone without any informations. Well that's what he told to Valentino since no matter what he did towards that stupid house in the middle of the forest, THERE WAS NOTHING.
He destroyed it, burned it and everything else only to open the door and see everything fixed. He can later tell it to Val that his favorite slut is back but he has now other things to handle, Alastor is back. He noticed that a few minutes ago a avalanche of journalists came towards them so he doesn't need to wait a little bit 'til the first articles are online and can also critique them like he always does.
Soon enough both of them reached the hotel. Charlie was sick from concern, after 2 days she noticed that Angel stopped picking his phone up and thought that Valentino took it away. On the 4th day, she started to get crazy since there was no announcement for the next comming show from him and Niffty only made the desparation only bigger by thousands of breakdowns.
She obviously didn't say anything about him and Alastor, but the others noticed that something was wrong with her. She didn't clean right, she also stopped cooking for the others and everytime they see her, she sighs loud and sad.
Suddenly they saw how the both entered the hotel and Charlie let her phone from shock fall as she took it out to call Angel again. Both of them looked exhausted but they are smilling, Niffty who hold her little broom rushed immediately towards them crying with no control about her emotions.
She jumped directly to Alastor and pressed her head on her chest "ALASTORRRRRR YOU'RE FINALLY BACK". She hugged her back while Angel greeted them "hi guys, me and Alastor are finally back! Did we miss something?" He put his hands behind his neck "YOU WAS FOR A WHOLE WEEK GONE!!! PICK UP YOUR PHONE THE NEXT TIME I CALL YOU!!!!" Charlie screamed from relieve and also from angry that both of them are finally back.
Time passed and Alastor developed a acceptance to herself with Angels help. He helped her to accept, to love and be herself and it worked good. They didn't tell the others what she felt and it was a secret between them and Niffty but it didn't last long 'til everyone in the hotel figured it out.
Angel always kept mention Alastor with all the pronouns he thought she could use and Niffty used straight only she/her. So when they figured it out that Alastor didn't deny any of them, they thought from alone that she lied to the internet to have her peaceful life back.
The funniest part after this is that Charlie convinced Lucifer to make her a fully women by just arguing with her like they always do but in the end he just throw her a random curse and in the next day Alastor archived her goal to become a women without any effort. At first he complained about it but when she got the request to make her back to her old body, she refused.
Angel also took that opportunity and asked her again to go now with him to the gastropub 'chat noir' who she agreed after hundreds of times she denied. They practiced hard for the next 4 month and now they are finally there. Alastor with her black dress and Angel with his pink dress, ready to enchant the audience.
They looked to eachother with a big smiling before they entered the stage before Alastor said to cheer him up.
"Don't worry Angel, we will win and you'll be free from your contract"
