    Raziel walked down the school hallway, observing the distracted stares of both boys and girls. He tried to ignore it with a sweet smile, and continued on his way. 
    Soon, he found someone else beside him. A relatively short girl with shoulder-length bluish-black hair and brown eyes wearing a slogan t-shirt and jeggings was standing there.
    "Oh hey, Rebecca," Raziel smiled.
    "Hello, Daniel. It sure is good to see you again!" Rebecca replied cheerfully.
    "You're headed to the same class as I am, right?" Raziel asked.
    "I don't know. Are you in Mr. Sarovrek's history class next period?" Rebecca asked back.
    "...Yeah...I am!" Raziel answered.
    "So, we're going to the same class here. It's good," Rebecca nodded.
    A voice started to echo throughout Raziel's head. It was the voice of God.
    Boy, you better start being less subtle and I'm getting impatient. Go and tell her you're an angel point-blank, reveal your real angelic name, and wait for a response. She will not believe you, so show her fully. You know what that means...
    Is this a command or are you giving me permission?
Raziel responded to Him.
    It's a command, because I don't like you.
    I'll do it later,
Raziel responded, I need to connect with her more. Then I'll get to showing her my angelic roots.

   
Raziel sat down on the bus next to Rebecca and the bus started moving. Rebecca put down the book of sudoku puzzles and turned to look at him.
    "You know..." Rebecca began to say something.
    "Yeah?"
    "I've been gathering the pieces about you, figuring out your traits. You're almost like an angel; beautiful, strong, and kind. It's eerie how much those qualities are in you. It's just something that I've observed about you. I'm sure it's nothing."
    Raziel shuddered, but then corrected himself.
    "You're probably right. I'm just a normal teen."
    The bus shuddered to a stop and Rebecca stood up, smiled at Raziel, and walked out of the bus. 
    She suspects something about me, My Lord, Raziel thought, expecting a response from Him.
    Great! You'll be able to get her to believe you when you tell her. Oh, and this weekend's a great time because I think you'll end up fighting some demons in public.
    Why?
    Because the seperation between the three realms are becoming increasingly blurry and it's gonna get easier for demons to possess and inhabit earth. This works both ways, so we can send reinforcements down there to help you out.
    Really?
    No, of course not. You deal with that stuff by yourself. I don't feel like helping you.

That weekend...

    Raziel waited for the glass sliding doors of the local supermarket to open before walking inside calmly and casually. 
    Suddenly, he felt a high frequency in his brain, causing him pain that caused him to drop to the ground. As he tried to stand up and focus, he could see that the grocery store was crawling with demons hidden in plain sight of the various humans crowding the supermarket. He realized that his entrance has caused them to notice his angelic signature, and began to look at him with murderous looks.
    Steeling himself to regain focus, he realized what time it was for him to do.
    "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. Angel Form: Stage 1!" Raziel screamed!
    A magic circle formed around Raziel as the white T-shirt shredded off of his body, to be replaced by a white dress shirt, black tie, and a military-style uniform. Raziel's hair turned from platinum blonde to ivory white, and his eyes turned from blue to silver. A blob of light surrounded Raziel and formed into a black trench coat with white stripes on the lapel and on the edges of the coat. Then, black slacks with black combat boots formed around his legs and feet.
    Soon, the lights dancing around Raziel calmed down. Raziel put his hands at his sides and summoned two guns. They resembled Colt Government Model M1911A1, but were made out of orichalchum, the holy metal. The grips were pearl, with gold crosses emblazoned on them. Elaborate gold embellishments decorated the pistol slide, chamber, and muzzle. 
    Raziel threw these guns up in the air and pulled two magazines of orichalchum bullets and threw them neatly into the chambers of the guns, which he caught and pointed at one of the demons.
    "Now it's time to face off..."
    There's one thing I do like about you, boy. You're an awesome fighter.
    "That's an honor to hear that from you, My Lord."
    Sure, now go and kick some ass!
    
Raziel comes under suspicion a bit, but then faces his biggest challenge in a grocery store.
