First of all, holy crap I was not expecting the response I got on "Brother". That was better than I've gotten in a long while. My fellow writers out there know exactly how it feels to put work into a story only to get next to no readers or reviews.

Well, my last two (maybe three) works got extremely poor reception. One alone is often enough to destroy my shoddy self esteem and make me quit writing for a while. So thank you to my Lucifer readers for the badly needed ego boost.

Therefore, I have returned with another Lucifer story. This one's a little different though. I have not done one in a while, but this is part of the group of stories I call "Saga of the Traveler". Each is based in a different fandom, but all have the character of The Traveler, Endymion. The title prefix is so that people know they're all together, but each can be read independently of each other. And yes, this little author note is at the start of each one.

Oh and one last thing, this will be multi-chapter. But, I only have a rough idea of where I'm going with it. Suggestions are very much welcome.

Enjoy.

"Well if you won't talk to me... please, talk to someone else." Chloe was quite impressed with herself. Her words were sounding a lot stronger out loud than they did in her head." You have a therapist, talk to her before it eats you alive." Even if her last comment came out a lot meeker than she would have liked.

Chloe wasn't mad, no not at all. A little upset perhaps, but not mad. Something was killing Lucifer inside but the man wouldn't tell her. He just wouldn't let her in.

She didn't even know why she suggested he see Linda. It was doubtful he'd open to her either. Chloe liked to think of everyone except Maze and his brother, Lucifer trusted her more than anyone. But if he shut the door in her face what hope was there of him not doing it to everyone else?

As much as the detective would have liked forcing the information out of her partner, it wasn't something she could, or even would, do. All she could do was wait, and be there for him when Lucifer did finally decide to come to her.

She hated just leaving Lucifer here, especially after he all but tried to kill himself, but Chloe had to leave. Not just because she wanted to get home to Trixie, but her bursting into tears would do little to help her get through to her partner.

"Detective..."

Chloe had just put her hand on the door leading outside when she was stopped cold by Lucifer's voice. It was more than just her job title, it was how he said it. Like he was begging her to wait.

Lucifer didn't beg.

Mustering her last remaining strength, Chloe turned to face her partner. "Yes?"

"If you don't have anything planned tomorrow... could you stop by Lux?"

Lucifer wasn't saying he was willing to talk, he wasn't giving any assurances of what he was asking was what Chloe thought. But as far as the detective was concerned, he didn't have to.

"Yeah, I have some errands to run in the morning. But I can be by around noon." Chloe thought her stable voice was impressive before, now she was way past that.

At least now instead of repressing tears, Chloe was holding back a smile. She really shouldn't get her hopes up. This could be nothing, Lucifer might just have something new to show her at Lux, or someone he wanted her to meet.

Yeah... those excuses sounded pathetic even in Chloe's mind.

"Good. I'll... see you then." Lucifer responded.

The pair sat in awkward silence for way too long before Chloe realized that not only were they were still surrounded by her fellow officers at a crime scene, but Chloe had been standing there with one hand on the door this whole time.

Chloe offered a quick "see you then" before vanishing out the door.

Several floors above, no one noticed the figure leaning over the rail watching the events below play out. From his perch, he could see the entire area but his attention was focused solely on Chloe and Lucifer.

From a distance, the man didn't look that out of place save his long black coat, but he held an air of someone who didn't belong. This was obvious up close, where anyone would be able to see his silver colored irises.

"Hmm..." The man's head tilted slightly in approval. "Never ceases to amaze how easy it is to alter the flow of events. Nicely done Lucifer, but where are you willing to go with it I wonder?"

Lucifer looked up, as if he felt himself being watched. But the silver-eyed man was already gone.

I hate doing chapters this short, but this is meant to be an introduction. Believe me, more shall follow I assure you. As I said, suggestions are very welcome. Reviews/comments even more so.
