"Oh isn't that peachy? Just gimme a heads up if it turns out to be a fucked up family reunion or feud. Already had enough of that crap." Considering his world was almost destroyed to a giant family feud, he was understandably pissed about the possibility of another. Especially with angels, Fallen or none involved.

She was worried, probably moreso than most of the other people there, but she kept it behind a neutral expression. If Neal thought something bad was going to happen, Belias would get hold of him.
"Lead the way, please." She continued, as the other people seemed to know which way to go.

She didn't bother putting her coat back on. Her costume was specially enchanted to keep her warm, and allow full movement should anything hit the fan. Her wand, an item that was normally a prop at best, but she was finding more and more useful in this world, slid out of her coat sleeve and into her hand.

She'd spent plenty of times among those with a tendency for nervous quips, Harry Dresden the primary example. Charity saw Zatanna's comment for what it was.
"This way, then," Charity said, beckoning the group along with her as she started toward the nearest B&N. Before doing so, she pulled her warhammer from her bag, zipped the bag back up, and slung it over a shoulder. Just in case. The Denarian had recognized whatever was here, and Neal thought they should be careful.

That itself made Neal wary.
As they headed out, walking down the handful of blocks that led to the bookstore, Neal couldn't help but ask, Who is it, Belias?
A bolt of pain - he managed not to wince at it. None of your concern, mortal.
Very strange indeed.

Less than a few seconds after they arrived, two other people did the same. They would not have seemed out of place walking along the streets of Chicago, but there was a murderous gleam in the young girl's eyes. The man however seemed faintly amused upon having run into the other group just outside of the bookstore, and laughed heartily.
"Well, well - isn't this a surprise," Nicodemus said.

She could practically smell the evil wafting off of him and his companion. It was unsettling. And something about him reminded her of Etrigan, which was... about six hundred and sixty six kinds of Really Not Good.

The boiling shadow that he knew was Belias fumed. Deidre, that bitch.
Later, Neal wouldn't quite recall what made him do so - whether it was Belias's own anger and confusion or that same unspoken power that seemed to be radiating from within the store - but he realized that it was possibly the dumbest thing to do. He stepped away from the group, almost neatly putting himself between Nicodemus and the rest.
"You felt it too, huh?"

He flipped the safety off his gun, and kept it in easy access for aiming and firing. His own instincts were picking up that whoever the he'll this dick was, he and the kid he was chaperoning were bad news.
It didn't stop him from stepping forward to the front of the group by Neal, "Yeah, looks like surprises all around, chuckles. Like the father-daughter picnic got cancelled so you and Lindsey there might as well head on out."

Jennifer's words were soft enough that nobody probably heard them. She realized she had put herself away from the group, and as such had singled herself out much as Neal had done, only before she had realized there was a major problem. She swallowed and took a breath, gathering her dignity and some decorum.
"Nicodemus."
She frowned as Dean smart mouthed at the man, but he did not know the fallen angel. Fear trembled in her stomach a bit as she thought about the gun at her side, and moreso, the monster inside. If She-Hulk came out, she did not know if she could maintain the control to not harm the others with her overzealous rage. It would be worse than at the church.
Jennifer glanced over at Neal, looking for any sign of the fallen angel in his own head struggling to take over at the sight of its leader. She took another breath, but kept calm for the time being.
