“I've finally found you, now tell me, what kind of idiot strips away his devil form for a human one? Did Reiya punch you one too many times?” Castiel asked as he chuckled gleefully. Kareem is breathing heavily as if trying to breathe as much air as he possibly can with each breath. He takes a closer look at Castiel, he has a tall slender figure with the aforementioned wings, sky-blue eyes, and white straight hair. His blade's hilt is in a shape of a cross, typical of most angels. However, it has a blue gem in the middle of the hilt of the blade, these gems are only given to heaven's most high-ranked angels. And there's one other thing, a long red scar drawing from the top of his left eye, all the way down to his lip.

Kareem slowly gets up and wipes the dust off of him.

“So what heaven's most annoying guard dog doing down here? Don’t you have to “deal with the balance of the universe” or some shit?”

“Well, when a certain sinner abandoned his ring of hell causing total chaos, I suppose it would be something I have to deal with as well”

Kareem takes a step back, his eyes glowing bright red once again

“So what, your gonna drag me back by force?”

Castiel points his sword.

“No… the heavens are pretty pissed… I'm just gonna kill you”

“Oh…”

Kareem starts sweating nervously, his hands shaking as he puts up a fighting guard. “You can try to kill me haha,” he says with little to no confidence. Castiel rolls his eyes “Nice try, normally you could probably actually kill me, but I know that human form stripped you of most of your power isnt that right?”. Kareem's nose and eyes start bleeding, “Yeah…” Kareem sighs. Castiel points his blade and blasts another shock wave at Kareem. Kareem narrowly sidesteps it and books it into the city. Kareem runs long and far, peering back only to see a couple of white feathers behind him. He launches himself onto a zipline subway, and lets it drag him through the city, he screams as the sky train loops around the skyscrapers. Castiel appears behind him in a flash, “I can fly you idiot” he says as he kicks him off the subway, causing him to crash onto a skyscraper.

“Ow… Oooooooooowwwww…. Fuck!” Kareem whales in pain.

Castiel floats down and lands softly, “Well that was fun” he chuckles.

Kareem looks around to see the city lights, he always loved seeing all the moving parts of a city, the traffic, the billboards, airplanes, the soft chatter of people from afar. He started reminiscing about Boss and Jade… All the times they would peer over the Cafes rooftop after a long day of work, not really talking, but just being together, looking over the city, taking it all in.

The sun slowly starts to set, Castiel points his sword at Kareem's heart, as a build-up of energy is heard vibrating through Castiels sword.

“It's been fun… Six.”

“Wait… let's make a deal okay? Any deal… I'm begging you” Kareem pleads.

Castiel scoffs, “I think by now everyone knows not to make a deal with you, I mean… how many people have you positively fucked over with your deals? What do the kids say nowadays about you? Don't make a deal with The Six? Something like that”

Kareem gets on his knees, causing blood to drip onto the ground.

“This one will be different, you get to dictate every aspect of this deal. This deal will be completely and utterly to your benefit.

Castiel looks intrigued, “Well, I do have one use for you I suppose,” he says as he unsheaths his blade, letting it disintegrate into the wind.

“R-really, what is it? I'll take anything” Kareem desperately begs.

“Im running a small team here in the city believe it or not. A team of humans who have been blessed with angels' blood. They're helping me rid the city of demons, I think you would be perfect for this team right? I mean, after all, you’re part of the reason the demon population is so high now”

“So you want me. A demon. To help humans. Kill other demons?”

“Precisely, seems better than me slicing your head off right here and now does it not?”

“Okay… fair”

Castiel turns his back and gazes off into the sunset, “Hmm… but I do feel bad, I suppose I could offer you SOMETHING in return” Castiel says.

Castiel swings around and bends down to meet Kareems eyes. “Now what sinful desire do you have? How can I be of assistance?” Castiel asks.

Kareem looks off into the city, he hears the bustling of the people, the police sirens, the electric wires, and sees the sunset slowly fading into the night. He then looks back to meet Castiels eyes.

“I want… to stay here.” Kareem says.

Castiel is taken a back.”What?” Castiel rhetoriclly asks.

“You heard me… I want to stay here. I want to be human. I want to keep my human life… If I join your task force or whatever, can you let me stay?” Kareem asks in desperation.

Castiel is taken a back, “Hehehe… hahahaha wow Kayani, youve really changed… this cant be the sinner that I knew from way back when.” Castiel laughs

“Look, thats all I want from this deal, are we good” Kareem asks.

“Yes yes ill accept it I suppose.” Castiel says as he fixes up his suit and turns to look at the sky.

“Oh and one more thing. Dont let them know your The Six, for obvious reasons”

“Yeah trust me I know, so we got a deal?”

“It appears as though we do”

Kareem bites his palm, drawing blood from it, he then lends it out to shake Castiels.

“So formal with you” Castiel remarks. He then pulls his sword and slits his own palm to draw blood.

They shake hands as the city completely falls into the darkness of the night.
