Authors Notes: Story begins ruffly around this scene after Malcolm's death in season 1 episode 13. This is just an idea I got from a few things I've read, basically ignoring that Charlotte is a semi decent Goddess and depicting her as a cruel manipulative woman who wants revenge on God but takes her revenge out on the favourite son, knowing that it will affect God the most. Will most likely bring in the other Archangels -Michael, Raphael and Gabriel- sorry if any of the religious facts are wrong, I don't mean to be rude or anything as I respect all religions but I am not a religious person other than a fascination with angels and demons.

Lucifer paced his room, sat at his piano and drank. He did this on repeat until Amenadiel arrived and spoke with the Devil.
"Luci, please cease your worrying."
"No no, you don't understand brother. She has murdered a young male in spite of me, she wrote a message for me in the victim's blood. I can not stop her. I am too weak." He then started to chuckle hysterically "She was right, Father did give me this task fully aware that I can not stop the woman. He knows I will fail. He knows I'll be killed and sent back down to Hell, just like you all bloody wanted!"
"Luci, that is not true. He cares for you, you're his favourite son. Always will be. Why do you say you will fail? You are not one to lose a fight."
"Because Amenadiel, I don't have my wings. I burnt them to ash!" He cried out in pain and anger, "I never should've, I mean I can barely beat you in a fight without them, how am I supposed to beat a Goddess -that's what?- second to Father. I never thought I would regret burning my wings." He finished with his head in his hands on the sofa. The black angel had the decency to look ashamed at the actions he pulled that led to the burning of the wings.
It was late and Lucifer decided to go to sleep, the day and case had drained him of his energy much like the victim who was practically drained of blood.
Lucifer woke up to a searing pain in his back. It felt like someone had taken a scorching fireplace poker to his scars on his back and dragged it through the skin and across the scars. Lucifer was lost to the agony, screams and whimpers that had enveloped his entire being. He thankfully fell into the realm of unconsciousness, not realising that Maze had arrived with Amenadiel to see what the screaming was about. They were both shocked at the sight they saw.
When Lucifer returned to the land of the living he still felt the pain but he also felt a weight on his back. Trying to look behind himself and succeeding, Lucifer found two large beautiful wings -they were his old ones, the ones he thought he burned. Lucifer was rendered in shock, only snapping from it when his brother spoke.
"Father heard what you said and managed to restore them."
"But they burned to ash."
"He swapped them with fakes when you were not looking. Luci, do you really thing Father would simply allow you to burn his most divine creation?"
"You…have a good point, brother." Lucifer couldn't help but grin at the sight of his wings, "Although, surely he didn't have to have them attach themselves onto me quite so painfully." He said jokingly. Stretching his wings out, Lucifer tested them before grinning to his brother.
"Would you like to race Amenadiel?"
"Certainly brother." The two went to the balcony of Lucifer's place and jumped into the air before racing to where ever. They flew without a care, no mortal could see them as they flew. Amenadiel was glad to see the smile that lit up his brother's face. Lucifer was happy, he felt free and he realised just how much he had missed his beautiful wings. Despite them being a gift from God, they were part of him. He forgot about the whole ordeal with his mother as he flew…until he landed back on his balcony and remembered why he had received his wings.
"Are you alright Luci?"
"Yes, just tired. Guess my wings are a bit weak."
"Go get some sleep. If Chloe appears, I'll inform her that you are a tad under the weather." Lucifer nodded his thanks and practically passed out on his bed, his wings cocooning him in a protective and comfortable way.
Lucifer woke to the vibrations of his phone and to the rising sun which was hitting his back, showering him in its rays of light. Grabbing the annoying phone, Lucifer pulled up messages and read the Detective's text. It appeared that the 'Not-So-Mysterious-To-Lucifer-Culprit' had murdered yet another innocent soul.
As he arrived at the scene he noticed that it was the exact same as the other victim. The brunette victim lay in a pentagram with words carved into her skin, her blood was used to write a message on the wall. It seemed that Lucifer's mother had a pattern.
"Our culprit has a pattern it seems," Chloe muttered to herself as she looked around for clues,
"Yes, I take it, Detective, that you haven't read the message on the wall." Lucifer would admit that because of the lighting in the warehouse, it would be rather difficult for human eyes to spot.
"There's another?" At pointing it out Chloe tried to read it but didn't succeed,
"Allow me, Detective, you will find that I have rather spectacular vision compared to you humans." He said as he faced the wall, "'He may have returned the gift you don't deserve but I shall rip them from your back like insect wings. You can't defeat one who helped create the world. I am power… you are the weakness. Be prepared…to suffer for your mistakes and His failures. Oh, favourite son, no one cares. Your Father wishes you gone and your brothers and sisters wish you dead. Say goodbye to your pet humans…for they shan't see thy again.'" Lucifer didn't realise that his voice had broken through out the reading, but Chloe had.
"Lucifer, this case is affecting you isn't it?" She asked
"I am fine Detective." With that said they went back to the police station to do some research.
When Chloe got home later that night and put Trixie to bed, she began to analyse the messages that had been written in blood. Despite not being Christian or Catholic, it didn't take a genius to work out that the messages were religion related:
Her Notes:
MESSAGE ONE:
Favourite Son = Lucifer the Morning Star
Failing Father = The Fall from Heaven
Garden of Eden = Well known Biblical reference also something caused by the Devil
Lightbringer = Another name for Lucifer like the Lightbearer and Morning Star
Job = What job would God give the Devil?
MESSAGE TWO:
Gift and the mention of insect wings = Possibly angel wings -but Lucifer said he had Mazikeen cut them off and then he burned them
Helped create the world = Goddess, God's wife -Asherah the Goddess of Motherhood and Fertility?
Mistakes = Lucifer mentioned once that he hadn't helped his mother when she was put in Hell
His failures = 'He' being God.
Pet humans = If Lucifer really was the Devil, the referred humans could be me, Trixie and maybe Dan?
Chloe grew tired as she tried to analyse the messages further but ended up falling asleep on the sofa with her work scattered across her.
