I see you with the Top Gun references over there))

Mercy tensed and stretched her wings out wide as the demons landed, folding them slowly when they seemed to be semi decent. Like Ajax. She stayed settled on the edge of the cave, tilting her head up at the first demon, especially with his tease. "I hate to brag, but I do consider myself decent looking." She said sarcastically in response to his rhyme, giving him a light smile. She gave the demon a look of polite astonishment as she looked over his features. "He kidnapped me." She joked, nodding back to him. She took in the second demons appearance quickly before turning back to watch Ajax converse with them. She blinked at the man politely as he lunged into another round of speech. "Well, you certainky live up to those, don't you? Its nice to meet you, Goose. My name is Mercy." She smiled back, standing to give him a handshake.

*cough cough* who, erm, me? Uh, neeeever...))

-

Goose grinned wildly at Mercy first sentence. "If you don't mind me saying, I can agree with that. "He winked at her, and in the background Ajax and Rooster rolled their eyes. Goose tilted his head at Mercy's second comment with a hoot of laughter, looking at Ajax. He spread his black wings and barked another round of laughing. "Did you hear that, Bulldog? You kidnapped someone! Ya ought to be ashamed of yourself." He grinned, tucking his wings back in with a chuckle and leaning up against the wall. "Well it is nice to meet you too, Mercy. Lovely name you got there. Now, I do wonder how you really found Ajax over there bbecause he is like a literal ghost that evades EVERYONE, INCLUDING his FRIENDS which I DO NOT like. Believe me, sometimes it takes another WEEK of searching just to figure out where he went, and now you just POOF, found him. *hey, whoopee, he's over here* COME ON> So, mind tellin me your secret?" Goose stopped for a pause to get air, but he looked like a thought came to mind, so he went on a little longer. "If I could guess... you ran into him helping somebody oh so kindly..." He paused, throwing Ajax a look that said *like THAT would ever happen* "Or you found him bleeding out on the ground, unconscious." He finished with a cheery smile. In the background, Ajax buried his face in his hands with a quiet groan, shaking his head a little, and Rooster looked like this happened every day. Rooster looked... pitiful. Probably for Mercy.

She let out a small chuckle as he winked at her, looking over at Ajax with something that seemed like 'Is he always this hyper?'. She watched Goose launch into his whole diatribe, listening quietly and glancing back at Rooster with her eyebrows raised, then back at Ajax. She blinked a few times as he finished. "Well, if you must know, he was bleedibg out unconscious on the ground and I, uh, helped him." She shrugged.

Ajax gave a little sigh as Mercy looked at him, which was his version of a... yes. Ever since Ajax had died and gone to that horrible place called hell, because stupid Satan decided it would be a good idea to invite a goose-brain, a quiet hunk of muscle, and a trained jokester into his domain... he had known Goose and Rooster, and he had been friends with them. Ajax knew Goose had always been like this, even in his lifetime. He never really understood how the man could talk so fast without taking a breath, though.

-

"Sounds like Ajax." Goose agreed cheerfully, though he seemed to be running a little low on fuel again. He glanced back as Rooster took a step forward and spoke, obviously surprised.

-

Rooster watched Goose for a moment before stepping forward. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Mercy." he said in a very quiet, deep voice that had a strong Australian accent and still seemed to ring out over the cave even though it was quiet.

-

Ajax finally decided the two were finished. taking in a slow breath. "And now you've met my small group of slightly annoying sometimes hilarious comrades." He said with a slight eyebrow raise, leaning against the wall. "Knowing you for the few hours I have, I'm guessing you have a medium sized friend group with very peaceful kind angels that have never heard the word rowdy in their lives, unless talking about demons?" Ajax asked with a slight smile

"You as well, Rooster." She said, flashing him a charming smile and looking back at Ajax. She laughed. "Well, you've read me all wrong. I actually belong to a book club, all with old ladies, and they get bored of the books we read, so often we end up talking about cross-stitch." She said, leaning heavily on the sarcastic tone. "Actually, I don't generally hang around other Angels. I've yet to meet one I really like. I prefer to hang around humans, usually. I have a few close friends that are mortals.")

Rooster closed his eyes as Goose stifled a laugh at Mercy's smile, and the tall man turned to Goose with an expression that pretty much said *you do that one more time, and I will crush your small blonde head into an even smaller pulp* not that anyone but Ajax and Goose could tell.

-

Ajax let an amused expression come onto his face at Mercy's words, ignoring the other two. "Oh yes, I can see that," he said thoughtfully, rubbing the scruff around his chin before snorting. "I cannot believe that me, the demon that doesn't like... anyone, have found two demon friends already... and you, the happy outgoing positive angel have, what, no other angel friends? I'm starting to get the feeling their roles are switched." Ajax cast a glance at Goose who was pretty much giggling in the background, and Rooster who was glowering and holding a fist in Goose's face.

Mercy smiled back at the pair, looking back at Ajax and waving her hand dismissively. "Angels are overrated. Most of them are pricks, snobs, or both." She huffed. "But yes, thank you for rubbing my lack of friends that are my species in my face." She nodded curtly at him. "So far, being a demon seems pretty nice from the other side."

Ajax opened his mouth to say something when he heard a loud *thwak*, and closed his eyes with an exasperated sigh before turning back to Rooster and Goose. Rooster was holding Goose's shirt in his big hand, lifting the shorter man literally off the ground. His other fist was raised, like he was about to punch Goose... or already had... and the blonde man had a black eye already. Rooster looked furious, and Goose was... roaring with laughter. "You TWO." Ajax blew out a sharp breath. Rooster looked that way with a sheepish glance, and Goose ... laughed. "STOP IT ALREADY." Ajax snorted. Sometimes he felt like Goose had beetles for brains, and Rooster had squids.

-

Goose felt pain flare in his face, but he deserved it. He had been teasing Rooster mercilessly for the last however long Ajax and Mercy were talking, and he knew Rooster had a short fuse. He just couldn't stop LAUGHING. It was SO HILARIOUS.

-

Rooster was SO ANGRY at Goose he could CHOP the person's head off, and his fiery red hair was flickering with real flames. A growl sounded low in his throat, and he was about ready to punch Goose again when Ajax spoke. Rooster's angry look turned sheepish rather quickly, and he opened his mouth to apologize when he realized he was still holding Goose's shirt who was half choking from laughter and the tight shirt. Rooster unceremoniously dumped the blonde man on the ground, and Goose crumpled onto the hard cave, still shaking with laughter.

Mercy began giggling as he scolded them like children. "Well; that was... very informative." She said, barely holding her giggles back as she swallowed them down and sighed. "You have your hands full with these two, don't you?" She teased, a smile still lilting her lips. She walked over to Ajax and curled up on the floor a small ways beside him, knees up to her chest.
