Lux was empty as he walked through the abandoned bar. He knew he didn't fit with his current life, that somewhere at some point he had faltered. He was the rebel, the fallen angel. His Father's biggest disappointment. He sighed heavily wondering exactly how he could be the worst thing God had created when His beloved Humanity had caused more evil and pain than he ever had.

"Lucifer?"

"Detective." He looked up as she crossed the bar towards him. If I am such a disappointment, so evil I get expelled from Heaven itself how come someone like Chloe is my friend?

"Hi." She smiled at him as she stepped nearer. "You looked a million miles away. You ok?"

"Fine." He faked a small smile. "Was not expecting to see you today. Thought you had a thing with Trixie and Maze. A "girls day"."

She raised an eyebrow in surprise he had remembered. "Daniel's mom is in the hospital so he's taken Trixie to see her. Nothing serious, just a hip thing."

"Replaced?"

"Huh?"

"Hip replacement?"

"Oh yeah." Chloe nodded. "So? What's wrong? You haven't done anything with this place. Not set up or anything."

"Er, Nothing. Not really."

"Means yes."

"Just thinking about my parents."

"Go see them. We don't have a case at the moment. You could take a few days." She touched his hand as she spoke. His smile didn't reach his eyes.

"It's not so easy."

"How? My folks and I are not close but I still have to see them." She really didn't understand. Lucifer shook his head.

"Can I get you a drink?"

"No, and you can stop changing the subject. Maize told me you're from a big family." She paused as horror seemed to cross his face.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea."

"Why?" Chloe hopped onto an abandoned bar stool. "Because you argued with your father?"

"Argue? No we did more than argue." He looked at his hands. "He banished me. Told me to go to Hell, literally and He meant it. Then my parents divorced so, you know?" He shrugged.

"Daniel and I divorced. Trixie still sees her dad. You can see yours. You told me once that you have a huge family. Ask one of your brothers or sisters to smooth things over. "

Lucifer laughed. The idea of asking one of his brothers to talk to his father was incredulous. "Whichever one he favours most. I know parents shouldn't have favourite children but." She shrugged. Lucifer poured two glasses of water.

"Jay? No. I don't think he's be willing to put in a good word for me." Lucifer sighed. "But, that boy has always been very forgiving. Mom always hated him. He's not hers you see. "

"Half brother? Your dad remarried? Cool."

"No, not really. I mean my parents divorced years and years ago. But still it got to her. Dad having another kid."

Chloe nodded. "I can understand that. But it has to be worth a try?"

He smiled at her, wondering exactly how and why he had a friend like Chloe. Setting his glass down on the bar he took a steadying breath.

"Detective. My family is so much more complicated than you can imagine."
