[ WP ] Reborn into the modern world , Jesus and the Antichrist have fallen in love and are getting married . God and the Devil are not happy .

`` What do you mean'in love'?'' 
 `` I mean in love, Michael, have you forgotten the concept? Need I remind you of the several nephilim who to this day wander the Earth bearing a striking resemblance to you?'' I swear, sometimes the higher ups play dumb just to make things difficult for the average working angel. 
 `` I know what falling in love is, Zirdiel, I do n't need your sarcasm. I'm just giving you a chance to explain yourself''. 
 I had done it again, upset the archangel. 
 `` I do n't know how else to explain it. Emmanuel and, you know, the other one, have fallen in love and are right now living together''. I said, keeping the most un-sarcastic tone possible, it does n't pay to anger the bosses too much. 
 `` Jesus Christ! ``, Michael exclaimed, then tensed as the shocking pain of taking His name in vain ran through him. 
 `` Yep, that's the one, and also the other, you know'', I said pointing down. 
 Michael shot me a killer glance, which had I been a human would have killed me. 
 `` Just to be clear, we're talking about Emmanuel and the Anti-Christ''. Said Michael. 
 `` Yes!'' I hurried up to say, then caught myself when I realized that for some reason the notion of Emmanuel in love with Lucifer sounded much more disgusting, like a niece with her uncle in human terms. And apparently, going by his expression, Michael shared the feeling. 
 `` The Boss is not going to like this'', the archangel said. 
 `` The guy downstairs wo n't be happy either'', I said. 
 `` How would you know that?'' 
 Damn, he caught me. During my years watching over Emmanuel's incarnation in Her Twentieth to Twenty First Century, I had made contacts. The other side was also constantly spying on Her, doing their oppo research, and you get to know the people doing your same job but for the enemy. In this case however, I had gotten even more familiar with Belchor, the demon in charge of looking after Lucifer's Daughter, Princess of Darkness. We had shared surprise to find ourselves in the same city so early on during the prologue to what was supposed to be the End Times, then shock to witness the undeniable chemistry between the two girls, then an uneasy alliance given the fact that, with them living together, we had too see each other all the time. 
 `` I've heard the peons of the Legion talk about it'' I told Michael, leaving out details. 
 `` Deceit!'' the archangel's voice boomed. `` Surely this is trickery by the Enemy, it's their plan to...'' then his voice faltered. To what? He could n't say it, could he? The Enemy's plan to seduce the Daughter of God, to corrupt Her, to deceive Her? That's not supposed to be possible, She ca n't be deceived, corrupted or seduced, She's perfect. 
 And of course She hand't been, deceived I mean. She had been the first to know who Her counterpart was. She had, though, allowed Herself to be seduced, the other girl had had no chances, by the time the Princess of Darkness had realized what was really going on and that she was n't actually corrupting anyone, she was clearly madly in love with Emmanuel. 
 `` Yeah no, the opposition was freaking out just as much as you- as we are'' I said. I had been freaking out, at first, but after that I had n't been able to put into words what I was feeling. Because what I had been feeling was the need to continue basking in the warm fuzzy glow of the girls' love, like a cat on a windowsill in a summer afternoon. Belchor had felt the same, which explained why we had taken so long to report the events. Now Belchor was gone and I could not keep the secret any longer. 
 `` He should have never made the Earth off limits to His direct gaze'', rumbled Michael, his sword hand was already twitching. 
 `` Yeah, I agree with that, but He did and unless He's planning to break the Rule of Causality, what's done is done. So, what now?'' I asked, watching that sword hand nervously. I could totally see Michael going to do something stupid. 
 `` We must tell Him, of course''. 
 `` Well, since *you're* going to tell Him, might was well tell Him the girls are planning to get married'', I said, putting all my emphasis on'you' and hoping the rest would keep him from noticing I was not offering myself to go up there to give those news to the Big Boss. 
 After Michael was done convulsing over the next stream of swearing, we just sat there, I keeping my wings neatly folded so that my superior could let his spread. 
 `` I ca n't tell Him that'', said Michael, staring into the distance, archangels can really stare into the distance, their gaze is positively many worlded. 
 `` Do you remember the earthquake last week?'' I asked. 
 `` What? Yes, what about it''. 
 `` That was when the guys downstairs told Lucifer. Belchor told me, he's the demon who was watching over the Princess of Darkness by the way, he told me he was going to Pandemonium to tell his boss about it. After that the earthquake happened and I have n't seen Belchor again...'' I left my words hanging, we both new the likely fate of a demon who gave Lucifer unwelcome news. 
 `` The Enemy found out first then?'' Michael asked, tensing. My neck felt very exposed, his sword looked very sharp. 
 `` Yeah, but, what was he going to do anyway? It's not like he can harm Emmanuel, and believe me, She would n't allow Lucifer to harm Her beloved''. I hoped the implication was clear that She also would not allow some archangel to harm Her Princess of Darkness. I may not actually like Michael, but I did n't want to see him blinking out of existence. 
 `` And besides the earthquake, Lucifer indeed has done nothing''. Michael's expression was changing and I realized what he was thinking, maybe he could sell this as a good thing. 
 `` I suspect he's been very angry, down there, but no outwardly action has been taken'', I agreed. 
 `` Last time the Big Boss was angered, things did n't went well for this world''. Michael was testing the outer edges of the scenario. There's one thing I can say for him, the archangel really likes humans, human women particularly, there really are several nephilim walking the Earth who resemble him a lot. 
 `` Well, last time He was angry with the humans. This time He ca n't blame them''. 
 Michael shot me a sideways glance which told me `` oh yes He very much can, omnipotence works in several ways'', but said nothing. After all, God was n't supposed to directly strike the Anti-Christ down during the End Times scenario, and directly wiping out the whole of Creation, which was always a last chance possibility, would mean destroying the relationship His Daughter was in and since She was, well, His Daughter... what? What then? He probably could do it, but She was His Daughter; was n't She also, well, Him? Trinity logistics are tricky even for angels. 
 `` You can stay here, Zirdiel, I'll go tell Him, and if you're still aware of existence after a day, we will probably- Creation will probably be fine''. I felt like hugging the archangel, but I just nodded. He knew this could be his last act and he was n't ordering me to stand next to him before the wrath of the Lord.
