I do not own Lucifer.


No words came to Thalia's mind, she did open her mouth a few times but nothing came out.

Lucifer just watched her reaction, trying to read her face. "Thalia…?"

She held up a finger and downed the contents of the shot glass. Thalia really needed it. "You've officially lost it." That was really all she could come up with.

"I'm not hearing a no." Lucifer actually sounded hopeful."

"This is what you needed my help for? With all the knowledge in my head, you want a common killer?" She was now ranting and poured herself another shot. "I flew all the way from Australia, you made me do it!"

"Hold on there, I didn't make you do anything." Now he was getting annoyed.

"Right sorry, I should have asked what you wanted before I booked the flight!" She downed the second shot.

"So it's a no?"

Thalia walked right up to him and got in his face. "I will not help you murder someone."

"I'm the person he wants to murder." Detective Pierce finally spoke.

That made Thalia turn to look at him. "Tempting, but I'll pass."

"Wait, why is it tempting?" Lucifer asked.

"He almost ran me over like twenty minutes ago."

"Fine, then a change of subject. How good are you at removing marks?" Lucifer asked.

"What?" Thalia was confused, where was he going with this? Her gaze went to Pierce, who rolled up his sleeve. "You know there's creams and lotions and even surgery." But she did look at the mark and it caught her off guard. "This is odd, I have seen this in books, it's the mark of…" Thalia paused and looked up at him. "Cain, you're Cain."

"Like I said, right up your alley. Why does everyone doubt me?" Lucifer sighed.

Thalia almost nodded but instead half collapsed into a chair. This was going to take some serious thinking. Cain, the world's first murderer, was marked and cursed to walk the Earth for all eternity. Removing the mark would be near impossible.

"We have tried every way imaginable to kill him, nothing has worked." Lucifer was catching Thalia up to speed. "And I do mean every imaginable way."

"Stabbed, shot, poisoned, cut up…" She offered.

"No, I healed up, even after jumping into a volcano." Pierce answered.

Thalia's jaw dropped. She still heard crazy things, even after leaving the Eye. And here she thought she could have a normal life.

She needed help and wasn't too proud to admit it. Thalia pulled out her phone.

"Who are you calling?" Lucifer asked.

"Just because you won't ask your father for help, doesn't mean I can't ask mine." She waited as she heard ringing and behind her the elevator door opened.

Chris stepped into the penthouse. "Thalia, you still up here?" Thalia gave him a smile then showed him she was on the phone. So he turned his attention to the other people in the room. "Hi, I'm Christian, Thalia's boyfriend." He said to Lucifer.

"Right, recognize you from the postcard. Lucifer Morningstar, owner of the club." He responded, but his attention was on Thalia.

"Hi there, yes I'm doing well. I'm in LA and I need your help with something." She paused and rolled her eyes. "Yes, him again. No, we're done. Really, I swear. When can you be here? Alright, sounds great, see you then." Her phone went away and she turned to Lucifer and Chris. "Ok, my father is coming day after tomorrow."

"Fine." Lucifer then pointed to Chris. "Really, Christian?" Thalia only gave him a look that shut him up.

"How do you two know each other?" Chris wanted to know.

"Work." Thalia answered quickly.

Then Chris finally noticed the second man in the room. "And you are… lucky to be alive." He recognized Pierce from earlier.

"It has nothing to do with luck." Thalia said under her breath. "Well, we came here for some fun, so we're going back downstairs. I will see you soon."
