“Do I think he’ll ever open up?” Curt repeated as he pulled the door open to the jeep and climbed inside. “I think he will if he finds someone he can trust. He talks to me more than anyone and has loosened up. Will he be able to find love? Maybe… if he can find someone who doesn’t want him for his power, or isn’t afraid of his power. He’s still young and doesn’t have as much control over it as he’d like but he’s been getting better as time goes on. As for why he’s here.” He buckled himself into the seat as they began to drive. “He’s banished for sinning like we all are and no, there’s not a single person out there like you. The reincarnation of a goddess is incredibly rare and only happens once everything one thousand years.”

When she asked if she could be honest he made an encouraging sound to get her to continue. Though upon hearing that they scared her, his face dropped. He loved the human world, more than anyone else… yet she was telling him she was scared of them. Fear was not something that the gods didn’t want to stand for… at least the department of wishes. Then she went into more detail and it sounded like her concerned lied with Leon. To that he let out a sigh. “Listen Jo, Leon is… complicated, to say the least. We all have different kinds of auras, mine tends to give people more of a relaxed feeling. Hue makes everyone feel more intelligent, Axel’s makes people feel happy and bubbly. Alexander makes them feel like they are listening to a leader and need to follow orders. Scorpio’s aura gives a sense of power, as if when you’re around her you can concur anything. Leon’s aura is intimating and attention grabbing because of how much power he holds and how well he can handle it, well for the most part. Envy from men, desire from women and one lonely person in the middle. When we all were finally able to get across to him that we wanted nothing to do with his power and wanted to get to know who he was he finally let us in. It was a process and not one that comes easily but it worked.”

“I bet it feels weird to you because you’re a woman and his natural ability that doesn’t require any power is one of seduction. We all have our own natural abilities and please don’t hold it against him if he tries anything. He seems to be under the impression, or at least he was when we first left, that if he gives pleasure to earth women he’ll return to the heavens. Though he hasn’t brought that up again so I’m guessing something’s changed his mind about that path, maybe it’s because no one knows what happens if a god and a human have sex; be interesting for his first time I guess. But a firm no tends to get the point across with Leon unless it’s something he’s 100% set on, which, to be honest, I have yet to see that. However he’s incredibly smart despite his jerk demeanor. Just… just bear with him Jo. He’s more set on getting back to the heavens then any of us because the whole department and all two thousand gods in it depend on him. Plus until yesterday he was sure he’d have to leave Isabelle behind and he couldn’t bare that.”

“I think as long as we can focus on getting rid of our sins everything will go smoothly from there. Apparently you have all the answers even though you don’t know it. But we can work on that in time.” He said waving his hand. “I’m in no rush and I know Axel isn’t. Since work can be done down here Leon and Alexander will be okay and I really don’t think Hue cares all too much. The only one who might be pushy about is Scorpio but I can’t blame her with her hatred of Earth. But as long as you stay in the mansion with her then she should be fine.”

He gestured in another direction and the two spent the rest of the evening together granting wishes for the humans in town.

Curt gave her a cheerful smile as they climbed into her jeep and he began to give her directions to their first destination. “I think you’ll enjoy seeing our work done. It’s quite a treat but nothing’s better than the happy looks on the faces of the humans when they get their wish finally granted.” He pulled out some folded papers from his inside jacket pocket and began to feed through them before her question caught his attention. And without looking up he answered.

“I’ve known Leon for more years than you’ve been alive. He’s the youngest god to ever been appointed the Director’s position and I was appointed at the same time to be his Vice-Director.” With that he glanced over one of the papers; doing two things at once as he continued to talk. “Leon is the second most power being in the heavens, right under the king himself and the theory is that he is cold to everyone because he’s concerned people will befriend him or attempt to bewitch him into love for the sake of his power.” He nodded his head at the paper, folded it up and put it into his jacket pocket before reviewing another one. “His coldness has lessened a lot since he started to trust the members of the Department of Wishes. It took a long time for me to earn his trust but now it seems like I’m one of the few who’s able to get through to him. Especially when he’s slacking.” He closed up the papers and leaned over. “Between you and me, I don’t think he’s ever actually loved anyone; friendship or otherwise. It seems like the only person who’s been able to reach him on that level is Isabelle and ever since he saved her from near death when she was an infant, he’s been attached to her like a father… oh more like an Uncle; he lets her get away with a lot which is why the king of the heavens named him her god-father since she has no other family.”

“But he’s not the cold man he used to be in the heavens when he wouldn’t talk to anyone who approached him first. Now he’s much more willing to mingle and as long as he has someone from the Department of Wishes with him, he’s willing to walk around the common towns of the heavens and mingle with people. Though it’s all praises and questions about power despite his desire to have a normal conversation.” Curt shrugged his shoulders before gesturing for her to pull over near a church. “We’re here.”

With that they climbed out of the car and walked a few feet away from the entrance. A young couple left the building, the groom on crutches but smiling with joy at his blushing bride. “Your hand please?” Curt asked extending his. When they touched Curt spoke, “I, Curt god of Cancer, have heard your wish; and by order of the King of the Heavens, it shall be granted today.” Upon his snapping of his fingers, the young groom missed a step with his crutches and stumbled forward down the step staggering to stay standing. At the last step he caught himself, not on a railing or with the assistance of someone else but on his own two feet. Looking down the young man began to cry with joy and the bride raced after him tackling him to the ground in a huge as the crowd cheered. The echoing of the voice of the bride said ‘My wish came true!’.

Letting go of her hand, he explained. “The bride wished for him to be able to walk sooner. He was going through treatments to walk again and was on a good road to recovery. I just sped up the process. There are few things we can’t do and those mainly involve life or death situations. We cannot kill and we cannot bring back.” And with that knowledge, the two continued on his list.

As the Vice-Director he knows a lot about Leon.

Okie dokie!

Her comment was an… interesting one to say the least. Leon gave her a side glance that said he didn’t fully understand her meaning but he did not pester her for more of a detailed explanation. The flight back to the jeep was peaceful, more peaceful than he had expected with the goldfish in his arms as they flew. The air was fresh, the breeze was nice and despite her small size, she was warm. Something about that warmth was very nice.

They landed with ease by the jeep and for some reason, his arm didn’t to let the girl go; he wanted to continue to hold her but he forced himself to let her go. Isabelle seemed to jump with glee at the idea of going with Jo to her adventure but Leon walked to the jeep and pulled the little girl from the seat. “No Isi. We have work to do and you need to get back to the heavens.” Her little protests were silenced by Leon’s overbearing stare and she muttered something that sounded an argument but agreed none the less. “Goldfish,” He said turning back to Jo. “We will be in touch. For now, we have work to do. Good bye.” At that he began floating up into the air and waited for Isabelle to say her good byes and hug Jo before floating up with him. And at that they zoomed off to the mansion.

------------

The next day, after what would be her time off of work, Curt waited outside of Jo’s job gently swaying to the music playing on the streets. A smile across his fine face as he watched the people pass back and forth, humans were really fascinating. Though he still stood out in his white suite with the golden arm band.

“The pleasure is all mine,” Curt said with a grin giving her a small nod of the head as he slipped his hands into his pockets and followed her down the hallways. When they entered the room full of barking kennels and she calmed her authority over the animals he did everything he could not to chuckle. So she still had some form of left over power the animals; then again, she used to be the goddess of animals, she wouldn’t have any memories of her time as a goddess but her ability to retain some of her powers, even small ones like this was complete fascinating.

As they walked through the room of cages; Curt pulled his hands from his pockets and extended his fingers. A small sparkle left his fingertips that were hard to notice. The animals in the cages gingerly eating medicine food began to show signs of improvement. His power had the ability to enhance something’s properties including but not limited to medicine. This was his natural power and while he didn’t see is as useful as his fellow gods; from time to time it shows its worth. The wagging happy tails of the dogs whose lives were already improving was proof at this moment.

When she started rapped firing questions at him, he slid is pockets into his hands and listened patiently. At her finish he took a deep breath and began. “I’ll do my best to try to cover everything. My job has me working from a single location and the presence of an animal is fine. So I don’t really have a time when I’d leave the dog alone for extended lengths of time. I’d most likely want the dog for a companion as I don’t have any family but my friends and colleagues are the ones who I’m around on a consistent basis. If the animal is full of energy I know we’d have fun but I can handle a calm dog just as well. I do know that I want something I can cuddle and hold but I don’t think a naturally and continuous small dog would be very beneficial for me.”

He rose and fell his broad shoulders as he looked around the cages, not really having any idea of what he should get. Good thing he had someone here who knew about his sort of thing. Turning his attention back to Alyssa he gave her a smile. “How long have you worked here?”
