Dream: Pet of the Seven

I was a gifted time and space manipulator. I could even jump through time and space to different times or areas of the world. I had become a pest to the 7 seven deadly sins themselves. I kept stopping the big 7 who had been trying to kill off members of a family I was connected to. Through using my ability over time. It finally reached a point in time where they had caught up with me. They forced me to strike a deal to let them have me in exchange for them to leave that family alone. Pride stared me down a while before I finally agreed to this. In turn the Big 7 made me their "pet" of sorts. I basically ran odd jobs and did my best to not be left alone with Gluttony or Lust. Wrath had claimed me for the day. He was unlike what I was used to. Pure fire and fury sure, but that was locked behind a cold calculating mind. Wrath and I had gone to some arena battle thing. I got pulled into the arena and was forced to battle against some gun-toting fighter. My time powers were limited in this situation to almost nothing because if I used it too much... then the rest of the demon world would know about my gift. I dodged a lot of attacks and faintly used my time gifts to give me moments of speed and I finally slammed my fist in the gunslinger's face. He stumbled back and I hit him again in the gut. I had finally gained an advantage when I heard the sound of a distant gunshot I saw Wrath charging in and I froze time almost on instinct. I could see the bullet just moments away from me. Wrath was somehow just slowed in my time warp. I pulled him so the bullet barely grazed my arm instead of hitting Wrath. Time returned to normal and Wrath glared at me but even more so... his rage was rolling off him in waves. Rage towards the sneaky devil that popped into the arena unannounced. There were whispers of "isn't that wrath? The new kid knows one of the seven?" We double-teamed against the two gunslingers and knocked them out the arena. We fought as a team a bit more. Strategy was key and he did great at that while I did great at observation and timing… mainly due to my ability. Later on we were on our way back to the HQ of the seven. Basically their home. He dragged me back up to his room, bypassing the other members who were confused by his unexpected outwardly apparent rage. He threw me into the room and I hit my back against the wall as he shut the door. He stormed over to me and got surprisingly tender when he lifted my chin so my gaze would meet his. "That was dangerous. You can't just be using your powers whenever you want--" I glared hard at him "That was a holy bullet you dumbass. It won't hurt me any more than a normal bullet. You on the other hand coulda lost your whole arm." He stopped and lifted my arm where the bullet grazed me. He burned closed the wound in silence. It hurt but I knew it would be better. "How could you tell from so short a moment?" "Short for you. Long enough for me. Were it a normal bullet I woulda let it hit you."  He smirked at that and nodded. "Go back to Pride. I'm sure he has a job for you." I just nod and make my way towards Pride's office. He opened the door before I could knock. He waved me in without a word and motioned for me to sit. I did and waited for him to speak. I had learned that I can speak up against Wrath but I can't against Pride. He is the most twisted of them all. Manipulation is his main game and anything said against him can be turned around easily with his choice weapons. ((I however awoke after sitting there densely.))
