Forced To The Other Side AU

[lotsoflaughs]

Claudia's been missing for several months, and Gabriel has turned everywhere he could think of upside-down to find her. He searched all of Earth aside from those few places warded against angels, he searched all of Hell--eliminating a ton of demons in the process--and even searched Heaven. All to no avail. It was like she no longer existed.

Then came a video with no return address. A porn video. One that involved demons, which made it... rather less than entertaining than the one he's done, given his own didn't involve anyone dying. One of those demons being an apparently possessed Claudia made it clear where the inspiration came from. The demon must have dug around in her head.

A couple of days of working on figuring out the location of the video later, he's figured out where to go. After dropping off the ferret and dog at the bed and breakfast due to not knowing how long he would be gone, he heads over there, appearing with an almost silent whisper of wings. He explores the building cautiously, keeping his power on a leash to avoid betraying his presence any more than absolutely needed.

"Of course. Along with dressed, since metalworking while naked is foolish at best. How long do you think it will take you to finish." Answer carefully, little demon. He has a specific time frame in mind.

"Perhaps a week if I have to find the more difficult elements on my own," she offered, cautiously. If she could send some of the idiot brigade out, it wouldn't be anywhere near as long. "I can easily halve that with help. The question is how circumspect do I need to be?"

If she has to kill every demon involved with a special project, someone might be bright enough to take notice, after all.

"You have two days," he tells her. "Send out whoever you need. I'm sure you know how to not share information you don't have to along with dividing it up enough to keep them from putting the pieces together. Try not to kill any more demons than you have to, hmm? You might find it hard to find future helpers otherwise."

In other words, she basically has just enough time to take a shower and get dressed before she starts work.

"As you wish," Claudia responded, with something resembling a naked curtsey and leaving the chambers with alacrity. She'd have to work her ass off to get it done in time, but it wasn't exactly hard in the way some might think. She could put plenty of demons to work in shifts keeping the foundry going except for the critical bits.

It wouldn't be long before hammers were ringing out from her personal workshop.
