"Aleister," D said, "you will not touch my sister. Do you understand me? Because you may be a god amongst men, but you know better than any other that no god is immortal."
D licked his lips. There were four solutions to this; Rosalind could not be risked, and even if she could, D had no idea where she was. The angel could be left to die, but Crowley would never allow that - the stubborn ass had long since taken a liking to the angel, and would never let it die. Even if he did, what that could do to Crowley made D shutter. The third solution was unthinkable, far too risky to even contemplate.
That only left one.
"You have to use Richard," D resolved, "Even if I wanted to risk Rosalind, I can't find her and you know she can't be found when she doesn't want to be. Not by any but you, and you can't leave right now. I'm sorry, but Richard is the only way."
"I've sent a message to Jade Gates then." Crowley said promptly. "They're looking for Richard and should be here with them soon enough." he said, with a glance at D and Aziraphale. "So, I assume this happened on the moon." he muttered. "And nobody mentioned that to me, how nice. Anything else I should be aware of, D?" he asked the other boy sardonically. "Anything else I should really quite know about?" he shook his head and pulled out another syringe, cleaning it in preparation for Richard.
D developed the rather unsettling feeling that Crowley had just glanced at him, despite the two being several million miles away, and nearly vomited.
"Well, I honestly wouldn't know," D said, "All I know is that he crashed into your school - you'll have to fix the roof, by the way - during the Thule attack, and proceeded to attempt to murder a few people, including himself and Sanchez. I didn't want to stop him either, but you know how it is.
He's gone insane. The angel, I mean."
