After another "with benifits" session, Mort and Jessie stood up getting dressed and decided to sit outside for a bit. "So I hear Mickey's doing okay" Mort started

Jessie smiled and said "Yeah, finally some peace around here. You know if you were to tell me a few months ago that I would be living with amazing people, and remembering what it was like to be human for the first time in forever." She laughed "I would have thought you were crazy." 

"Well, I'm glad to have you here. Sometimes I feel like you're the only one who likes me" Mort lamented. 

Jessie dope slapped him and said "I'm really getting sick of you beating yourself up. Mort, we can't change the past, but we can strive for a better future. You know who taught me that?" Mort grew silent as he was genuinely confused who. "You, you wonderful fool. A better future is what we deserve, and though the past hurts you're still here. You haven't run away and you still try. It's why I love you" She then paused realizing what she just said. 

"What?" A floored Mort retorted nearly falling off the steps. 

With a heavy sigh Jessie said "Mort...I love you" She looked away "How can I not? You helped me from being a slave to part of the group. You're amazing in the sack" She said coly to make Mort blush a little "And you didn't treat me like an object down there. I felt...humanity and passion. Hell, you reunited me with my mother. I will never forget that kindness. Hell she even approves if our relationship ever got that serious" 

Mort looked at Jessie as she continued "I wanted to tell you when I was sure you felt the same way, but...it's out there" 

Jessie looked at Mort and then slowly felt a small embrace. "You're my best friend..." He got a cherry blush "And you've always had my back. I love you too" Jessie eeped in delight and kissed him, though it was a different kiss than normal. It felt...better than any kiss he ever felt before. He loved it, everything screaming to him was JESSIE upon the taste. 




Suddenly however, they heard a loud screaming man saying "YOU FOUL CREATURES OF THAT DEFY THE HEAVENS. I WILL WATCH YOU BURN TO THE GROUND!" They turned and saw a man with a black robe, and he was armed with an assault rifle. There was a click of his gun. Mort and Jessie went to go, however, Jessie knew that they wouldn't make in time seeing him about to pull the trigger, and it was aimed at Mort. The trigger was pulled as Jessie pushed Mort out of the way and got sprayed with bullets. As she fell, Mort caught her. She fell limp in his arms as a pressure filled the area. Mort's tears hit her face as the man shouted "This is what happens to those who are unworthy of life! You should have stayed in hell where you belong!" 

Smoke suddenly started to surround the area, which caused the priest to fire again, however the bullets hit...but they went through Mort. His eyes shifted as he turned to the murderer. "I'm going to kill you..." Smoke started to even slightly fill the inside of the house as Mort let out a primal scream of rage. 



Mort's body wrapped around the man and started to pour in the screaming man's mouth as the smoke burned crying out in agony. The smokey form of Mort's restored Demon Form, clenched it's fist and the man BURST showering the area with blood, guts, and all sort of human body parts. Slowly Mort turned back to normal and clutched at Jessie's body, holding her close to him sobbing, his body shifting from his previous form.
