His father had watched over him for millennia. He had watched his son chose free will, tempt Eve, and rule over Hell. His father had to admit he was very good at doling out punishment. But he was not surprised when his son decided to walk out of Hell. He knew his children after all. He was the father and his favorite story was the prodigal son. So he started putting pieces together to see what his son would do always hoping that his son would come home. He watched his son and his demon arrive on the beach, he watched while the little demon cut off his son's wings, he watched while his son set up his new business and trade favors. He watched while his son wallowed in the the City of Angels and immersed himself in the sins that all of his children participated in. He watched patiently as his son tried to find a path.
He also watched a girl grow up. He watched her get married, become a police office and stand up for whats right. He watched as she became strong. He had watched this girl knowing she was different. She did not believe in him and he was ok with that. He understood that some don't, but that didn't mean she was cruel. She wasn't. In fact she stood for justice. He also understood that she was going to help his son become the best he could be. He was going to learn through her what it meant to care, to be vulnerable, to sacrifice for others. To become the better angel. He also knew that it wasn't going to be easy but journeys for redemption never were.
All the pieces were now in place. It was time to start.
Five years after the Devil left Hell . . . . . .
Ok, so I haven't written in a very long time, but I love this show. I am not familiar with the comic cannon so I'm only going on show and what I know about Lucifer himself. I don't own any of the characters on this show and will put them back when I finish. Let me know if you want me to continue. And if you haven't seen the show yet. Give it a try. All mistakes are mine.
