I gestured to Ashlyn. "I rest my case."

"Hey, listen..." Mercury looked down at me, glaring. (He's a full foot taller than I am.) "I don't care if you're my creator, or that you're 'the most powerful being in the universe'... but you'd better take that back right the f*ck now or I will kill you."

I looked up at him, squinting. "... You didn't seriously just threaten me, did you? You know that I could easily kill you, right?"

"Wrong." Fire flickered in Mercury's irises. "Demons are immortal. If you 'kill' me, I'll just get sent back to Hell, where I can easily come back to here again. You, on the other hand? You're mortal, and if you didn't have all your fancy granted magical powers and stuff, you'd be waaaaay beneath me. I would burn you to a crisp, and then... and then, I would tear your burnt body in two and beat them both into a bloody pulp."

The two of us just looked at each other for what felt like a long time. Then I furrowed my brow, shut my eyes, and exhaled through my nose.

"Fine. I'm sorry, Ashlyn."
