"Knows they father'? I played 'I Spy' with him and I won!" 

[i]I spy with my little eye, something Black and White and Red All over!

Be it a spider?

No, Heimdall...[/i]

Parry chuckled. Ah, those were good times. But the dragon shield- that story had his face turning a rough shade of crimson and promptly shut him the hells up. That one was... hopefully Heimdall gave Rikive the child friendly version of the story, because the full details involved Loki, Tyr, and three valkyries plus a frost giant. Parry's chronicling of that one had been taken down by FanFiction multiple times for being too dirty for the site's standards.

Parael Magnus could be a selfish and hedonistic SoB, but he also knew he was on the run from his boss and partner Cymriel. close to a millennia on Earth without getting caught was a good run. But the only being in creation who could potentially see more than the Celestials was Heimdall. And now his beautiful bouncing baby girl was on Parry's doorstep. So Parry was in a corner.

And as Parry's mind snapped from surprise to situational assessment, his instincts told him to flex his wings and prepare to fly out of danger. Using the same wings he'd left behind in the Nether. That he couldn't use here.

Thankfully, as Big and Ugly threw Parry screaming over the edge of the balcony, the Celestial had enough sense and reflexes to grip the guardrail to keep from plunging 20 stories to his doom.
