"By giving him a stern talking to which he will sum up as 'because morality'?" Cam guesses.

This catches Adana off guard! She is momentarily stunned, and then replies, "I love you, too."

"I love you, too," she replies, and then it's back to kissing.
Less than a week later, it's discovered that some of the weather patterns on Mars are a little weird - it's not raining as much as it should, and some of the plants are having trouble because of it. Adana is specifically addressed to fix it.
"Want to?" she asks Cam, when she learns about it.

"Okay!" she agrees, and then off they go.
"Go nuts," she tells him, when they're there, with a smile.

Adana will just stand over here with the summoner in charge of the angels that are watching him.
"Pre-made the binding?" asks the summoner.
"Yup!" says Adana, brightly.
The summoner is a little suspicious of this fact - she tilts her head, and uses her magic to check -
- then she hisses.
"That is the loosest binding I've ever seen in my life, are you trying to get everyone killed?!"

".... It's useful for my purposes, it's fine," assures Adana, nervously.
"Useful. For your purposes," says the summoner. "... Put him back. Unsummon him, right now. Before he gets loose and puts a black hole instead of water!"
"Wha- no, it's fine -"
The summoner looks at her. "I'm sorry about this. I really am. You seem like a good kid. Put him back, right now."
"Look, I know what I'm do-"
"You really don't," says her companion. "You really, really don't. I'm sorry about this, so very sorry, but you're a danger. He can't be here with that loose of a binding, and you won't put him back."
"What? No - shit, Cam!" shrieks Adana.
There is the sound of a gunshot -
- and then Cam is back in Hell.

Maybe it was a warning shot? Cam might be resummoned, later, if he waits long enough.
Except no summon comes. For weeks.

Maybe they put her in prison and she has nothing to draw with.
And hasn't been allowed to talk to her dad, or her brother, to suggest that they fetch him up.
Maybe.
He starts writing letters to send next time there's a concordance anyway. And in case he was wrong about what she'd be he puts a pointer to his residence in the major cities of Hell.
