"After the big fire in London. It swept through far more of the city and killed someone that we knew from prophecy shouldn't have died. We reset it and redirected the fire," he said. "Oh, and they may have interfered in World War II."
I raised my eyebrows. "Hitler?"
Joel tapped his nose.
I looked at Michael and Gabriel. "Seems you two had your own secrets. Do you know how to do this?"
They nodded. "But it takes several angels working together. We'll have to get help."
I couldn't imagine any of them would say no. Everyone wanted the demons back in Hell. "Well, go. Get everyone together. See if they'll do it."
Michael, Gabriel, and Joel disappeared, leaving me with Lucifer and Mary. "The Fallen," Luc exclaimed. "We have to get them. They can help. And we'll need them in Hell after."
I nodded and reached out for my brother with my power. He appeared in a half bow. "Sister, how may I be of assistance?"
"Gather the Fallen," I said. "Have them meet us outside the gates of Hell. All of them."
He gave me a strange look. "May I ask why?"
"It's time to take our world back," I said menacingly.
Hell disappeared.
Mary tutted. "I wish I could see this."
I pulled her into my arms, though she was a bit reluctant at first. "You are going to have our eternal appreciation. And even though we are who we are, we have a bit of pull in Heaven. When it's your time, you let us know if you have any requests, okay?"
She chuckled into my shoulder and squeezed me back. "I will, child. Go save the world?"
With one final squeeze of my hand, she let me go and I smiled at Lucifer.
"We're usually the bad guys. Let's go be the good guys."
He snorted and disappeared.
Finally, some hope. We sat down and went over the details until it was all down pat.
It was finally time to kick some rogue Archangel butt and get our daughter back.
Chapter Seventeen
Lilith
It took a while for everyone to assemble. Angels and Fallen began appearing a few minutes after we got there. We stood in front of the gates and greeted angels we hadn't seen in millennia and Fallen who were relieved to hear we were going to set things right.
Everyone who appeared asked what the plan was. All anyone was telling them was that we had a big plan and to come here. "We'll explain everything as soon as most are gathered."
After about an hour of catching up with our old friends and acquaintances, Asmodeus, then soon after, Joel, appeared.
They both nodded, indicating the majority of those helping us were present. "Hello, everyone," I called. Luc hated public speaking. "Thank you all for coming."
I projected my voice so the assembled crowd could hear me well. There had to be at least a hundred of us. Maybe one-fifty.
"We're going to reset time," I said. All the Fallen looked confused. "For those that don't know, it is possible to reverse time. It's only ever been done for a few hours at a time. We're going to do a few days. When it's done, and the demons are back in Hell and the gates closed, you must disappear as quickly as possible. If you can go into Hell and stay close, please do. Angels that can't, please go to Purgatory so that if things go bad with Raphael, you can help. But we can't have him see any of us before we're ready or he might bolt with Ariel again." I let the information sink in for the crowd. "Does anyone have questions?"
There was a lot of murmuring. I was sure people were asking questions of their friends and the people nearest them, but nobody stepped forward to come out with anything. I nodded and looked at Michael and Gabriel. "You want to take over?"
Joel stepped forward. "I will if you don't care?"
