  "How do I make them go back in? What do I do?" I hear the panic in my voice. I'm in an alley in a well-populated city with huge white wings.

  Constantine is suddenly in front of me. He holds my face, "Just breathe. Calm. When you're calm, they’ll go away. I've seen them once before. Not on you, on another angel."

  Tears are blinding me. I should be celebrating. I killed a Devil. His body has turned to black feathers. They're blowing down the dark alley way and getting stuck in the wetness on the street. Puddles of black feathers are everywhere.

  "He was like me." I am shaking. Seeing his feathers makes me sick. I wonder if one day I will be nothing more than a puddle of white feathers.

  Constantine looks scared. Wyatt looks lost. Michelle looks slightly envious and Mona is in awe.

  I try to calm myself. I try taking breaths. Nothing is happening.

  Wyatt walks toward me. His footsteps are soft. He kneels and leans in and kisses me. I wince into his kiss as my back burns where the wings conceal themselves again.

  Constantine growls.

  I lean back and look at them both, "What am I?"

  Wyatt looks back at him and makes a face. Constantine nods, "You're the real daughter of Lillith and Lucifer. No human birthed you. Not this time."
