demonbelthazorBel had gone out seeking a food truck to score some dinner. He was on his way back to the hotel (even nice enough to bring back food for Phoebe and Anders) when he had the feeling he was being watched. He couldn't spot anyone nearby, and demon activity had been relatively low lately, but all the same, he stopped and called out, "All right, quit following around. Show yourself."
Two men appeared in front of him, one older with a short grey beard, and the other reminded him of the guy in Candyman for some reason. Both were dressed entirely in black. "We've been waiting for this moment, Cole," the first said.
"Yes, welcome," not-Candyman added in a gravelly voice.
Bel tensed, ready to summon up a fireball if he needed to. "Only Phoebe gets to call me Cole," he said. "Who they hell are you?"
"We are the Avatars," the first man said.
"Avatars of what?" Bel said. "If it isn't bacon, I'm not interested."
"Force and power," not-Candyman said. "And we don't have to limit ourselves to choosing between good and evil, we can drive them both."
"What's that got to do with me?" Bel demanded. "I gave up evil. If you're looking for recruits, I'm not interested."
Not-Candyman took a step closer. "There are only a few of us now," he said, "but we are preparing to wield the power the likes of which this world has never seen."
"And we want you to be apart of it," the grey-bearded Avatar said.
"Good and evil are such useless categories," not-Candyman said. "Endlessly in battle, neither side ever winning. Gets rather boring don't you think?"
Bel summoned up a fireball (in the hand not holding dinner). He didn't like the sound of this at all. "Let me make myself clear," he said evenly. "I want nothing to do with you."
"The power inside you has grown," the first Avatar said. "Soon you will have nowhere else to turn except to us."
"Yeah, turn this," Bel said, throwing the fireball. To his surprise, it vanished as it struck them, and they remained unharmed.
"You can't fight us, Cole," the grey-bearded Avatar said. "It is futile to try. Sooner or later you will join us. It is inevitable."
Both men vanished, leaving Bel alone on the street with just his bag of food and a really bad feeling about this.
