The devil didn't even flinch when the steel pole made contact with the side of his face.

"What the hell…" Callie said as she dropped the pole.

Lucifer turned and glared at her. The fires of hell showing for a brief moment, before fading away again.

"I should be asking you the same thing," Lucifer said standing up straight and looking down at Callie. She backed away slowly.

"You were...strangling her," Callie said as she pointed to Maze. The demon however just shrugged.

"Happens kind of a lot."

Lucifer shot her a look as if to say, "not helping Maze."

"Wait he...strangles you a lot," Callie said baffled by that statement.

"Not like it really hurts."

"Yes, Maze thank you. Continue to terrify the mortal more."

"They're all afraid of you anyways, might as well start early." She said as she stepped towards Callie sticking her tongue out at her as she did.

"Mazikeen please." The devil muttered as she frustratingly ran his hand through his hair.

"Ok, what the actual hell is up with you too!" Callie snapped backing away from them again. "First you guys tell me to end my life. Then proceed to stop me, by tazing me might I add."

Maze chuckled at that.

"Then you take me in, and then you two start fighting and…" Callie froze suddenly. Dropping down to her knees as fear crippled her from nowhere.

Maze tensed up as well, backing away from Callie and her boss. Lucifer took two swift strides over to Callie's side. He gently squeezed her arm pulling her onto her feet. She could barely stand on her own as tears kept streaming from her eyes. Maze kept backing away.

"L-Lucifer…" mazikeen said in a tone that almost sounded like fear to the devil. Something he didn't think a demon could ever possibly knew there was one thing that could do that to a demon. Along with sending a human into a state of pure dismay.

"Azrael." He muttered softly.

He wrapped his arm around Callie as he brought her back to the apartment. He gently laid her down on the bed. She curled up in a ball, tears continuously streaming from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" She cried in between sobs.

Lucifer froze at her words. Knowing that they weren't for him. Instead, they were towards something or someone else. A faint memory of a distant voice that was now front and center nagging at her soul. Begging her for to acknowledge that memory, and dwell in its sorrow. There wasn't anything he could do for her at the moment, except find Azrael and get her out of here.

He quickly strolled out of the room passing maze as he did.

"Stay here." He ordered the demon, who didn't listen as pure usual. Maze proceeded to follow him down to the elevator. Fear still nagging at the back of her mind, but she continued to fight it off. Following her boss willingly instead.

They entered the elevator and Lucifer pulled out a lighter and lit a cigaret.

"This isn't good…"

"No, Maze it truly bloody isn't."

The elevator dinged and the two of them strolled out of the box. Lucifer took a drag of his cigaret as they approached the stairs. Maze gripped one of her blades as they got to the staircase.

Below they could see two beings.

Women in a dark blue dress sat with her legs crossed at one of the tables. One side of her head was shaved, while the rest of her long blonde hair curled down her neck. She wore no makeup but had a nose piercing in the symbol of a star. Something that most likely was a sign of silent protest in a sense towards the banishment of her brother. The one who created the stars themselves. A sight that many of their other siblings now despised. Her gaze was focused on Lucifer's, as a tiny smile crept on her face.

While beside her sat Uriel. Who looked as flustered as always. His short scruffy stature looked no different than the last time Lucifer had seen him several millennia ago. He wore his typically brown outfit as he rose to his feet, his hands folded together.

"Ah, Lucifer I was just telling Any here that you would be making an appearance at any moment."

"Well hate to keep my fans waiting." He sucked on his cigaret again as Maze and him descended the stairs completely in sync.

Uriel let out a forced laugh. "Just as I predicted again, starting off with a joke. Glad to see thing never change with you. Always keeping things within the patterns."

"Wouldn't want to throw you off your game little brother." Lucifer put his cigaret out on one of the trays. He walked over to where is two siblings sat.

Smiling at Azrael as he did. "Azy, mind putting your little field down so my dear friend can relax?" Lucifer said gesturing towards Maze who still seemed flustered.

Azrael gave the demon a look and then looked back at her older brother. "Does she promise to be a good little demon."

Maze clenched her fists at that, as Azrael smirked at her.

"Yes, Mazikeen promises to be a very good demon for our guests."

Azrael clenched her eyes shut, and took a deep breath. Instantly releasing the demon and anyone else who happened to be nearby from death's fear.

Callie's eyes shot open as her breathing started to slow back down and she started to gain control of her body again. Her mind was fuzzy and everything was a little bit muffled by the attack she had just had.

Lucifer. The demon. Where did they go? What on earth had just happened? She pulled herself off the bed as she wobbly started to wander down the hall towards the elevator.

"So what may I ask brings you to here?" Lucifer said as he leaned against a table. Maze moved over next to him and sat down.

"Ah, dear brother I think you know exactly why we are here," Uriel said with a slight smile.

"Doing father's dirty business as always are we?"

"We are just following the plan that Father has for us. Unlike you."

Lucifer let out a loud laugh, as maze chuckled a little as well. "Right, the plan that had me vilified and damned to hell for all eternity. Yeah, not a big fan of that."

Callie moved over to the elevator and pushed the button taking her down to the main lobby where Lux was. She tapped her foot softly as the elevator slowly descended down to the lobby. Her mind trying to figure out exactly what was going on. That man had barely flinched when she slammed a pole into his head.

"I'm the devil."

She shook her head. She had seen the face of the devil at a young age, and he sure as heck wasn't a tall dark handsome man with a thick British accent. She knew that for sure. However none of this made sense. The strength. The ability to brush of her attack like it was nothing. Granted she wasn't the strongest person there was, however, most people would have at least stumbled or taken a few moments to recover from that blow. Maybe...he was telling the truth.

"Brother, that was your own doing," Uriel said with a smirk as instantly Lucifer was throwing his fist with intense speed towards Uriel's face. With one swift motion, Uriel blocked with a cocky grin. "You really need to start attacking with your head, not your ego Sameal."

The devil growled at that but relaxed shortly after. Trying to not let his emotions control him like his brother said they would. "You know I don't go by that anymore."

Uriel was about to say something back when the ding of the elevator reaching ground level could be heard in the distance.

"Are we not alone brother," Azreal said in a nervous tone.

The angel of death wasn't afraid of mortals. She actually was quite found of them. However, Uriel, on the other hand, saw humans as low lives. Things that could be messed with for his own amusement. He would come down and play with them to cause wars. Plagues, and other disasters.

"A human," Uriel said with another satisfied grin.

"Of course not. Why would a mortal be hanging out when the club isn't even open."

"Unless someone snuck in." Maze spoke up. "I'll go see what it is."

Callie had barely taken a step when Maze came out of nowhere and wrapped her hands around Callie's mouth. Muffling her cries as she did.

"If you wanna live, and not get any of us killed. You stay low and stay silent." She whispered into Callie's ear. A ripple of fear went through Callie's body as she slowly nodded.

"Good." Maze said as she pointed to a corner that was hidden by darkness. Callie didn't hesitate and hide in the spot that the demon told her to.

Ok, now things were extremely weird. What was so dangerous that she had to stay hidden or they could all get killed. Maybe these two were some kind of drug lords.

She quieted her thoughts when she heard voices start again.

"Lucifer father needs you back in hell."

The devil laughed again. "Yeah, um ok. How about. I'm not doing that." He said crossing his arms.

"I knew you would say it."

"Cut the pattern crap, you angelic pushover." Maze said as she spat down at his feet.

Lucifer and Azrael both put themselves in between the angel and demon within a heartbeat.

"I thought you had your scum sucking demon under control, brother."

"I don't really control her Uriel, Maze does as she pleases." The demon smirked at her boss's brother when he said that.

Uriel groaned and took a step away from Maze, as Lucifer and Azrael took a step back as well.

"This is merely a warning brother. Father won't be happy for much longer. Once he has run out of patience we will be back, and we will not be merciful. To you or anyone that may come in the way."

Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Sounds great, I'll be looking forward to your next visit little brother."

Uriel didn't say another word. He proceeded to walk out of the club motioning for Azreal to follow as he did. Azrael paused for a moment and looked at her brother. She did a double take to make sure Uriel was out of earshot.

"You better keep that human extremely far away, or very close Lucifer." She said as Uriel called her name from down the hall. "Please, stay safe." She said kissing his forehead before running off after Uriel.

Lucifer rubbed his temples in frustration. "Where is that girl, Maze?" Lucifer asked his eyes squeezed shut as he kept rubbing his temples.

"W-who were they…" Callie said as she slowly descended down the stairs.

"Those were his good for nothing angelic siblings."

"You guys really like keeping up with the whole devil theme, don't you?"

"It's kind of all we have known." Maze said firmly as she walked over to the bar. Pouring herself and Lucifer a drink. Lucifer walked over and grabbed the drink, taking a slow sip of the whiskey.

"It's the truth...isn't it?" Callie said again softly as she walked over to the bar.

They statement got his attention instantly. He put down his glass and stared at her. "Wait you believe me?"

"Maybe not fully, but all of this seems to elaborate for it not to be real. Unless your drug dealers."

Mazikeen let out a loud laugh. "Oh, I wish." She said slapping her leg in the process. Lucifer smiled a little at Callie's statement.

"So, who were those people?"

"I would hardly call those two "people"." Maze started using air quotes around the word people.

"Those were two of my siblings."

"And your siblings are what?"

"Angels." Maze and Lucifer said in annoyed tone together.

"Good for nothing daddy loving c-" Lucifer put his hand up to stop Maze before she could finish. Maze rolled her eyes at his censorship. "You're no fun." She teased as she took a sip of her drink.

"And let me guess, they want you to go home?" Callie said as she leaned onto the bars counter top.

"Apparently, my vacation is over." Lucifer took a final sip of his drink before sitting down and slipping off his suit jacket. He undid the top button of his suit, as he ran his hand through his hair again.

"Are you gonna listen," Calle said turning and looking at him.

Lucifer turned and smiles at her. "Of course not. Where's the fun in doing as you're told? You sure seem like you're someone who breaks the mold."

Callie scoffed at that. "Hardly. All I did was disagree with my family's beliefs and they started to believe I was some kind of evil being."

"Is that why you have that...cross on your back?"

Callie let out a soft sigh and nodded. "Yeah...something like that. Now I could use a drink."

Maze moved like lightening as she poured Callie as drink and slid it to her. "A little bit of poison for the soul." She said with a smirk.

"Um, thanks," Callie said with a stifled laugh. She took a small sip of the scotch before putting the drink back down.

"So, what brings you to Los Angeles," Lucifer asked turning to focus on her.

"I could ask you the same thing." She said taking another sip of her drink.

"You could probably figure out that much."

Callie nodded. "Yeah, I think you got me there. Alright, I came here to be away from my family. Along with becoming a songwriter."

Now that really got the Devils interest. As time slowly ticked on back in hell. The devil spent his days keeping himself busy with torture. However, when the day's work came to an end you could typically find him in his house. Playing the piano that he had taken down with him during one of his trips to Earth. Playing every chance he got. Allowing his expression to be heard from song. At least that's how he had seen humans doing it.

"A writer. Very interesting."

"You better keep her very far away, or extremely close brother."

"How would you like a job?" Lucifer said softly to Callie.

Callie and Maze sat there with their mouths open.

"You can't be serious." They both said at the same time.

"Indeed I am."

Maze moved over to him and pulled him off the stool. "Give us a moment." She said as she dragged him up the stairs, and away from earshot of Callie.

"Have you gone mad! We don't just take in humans!"

"Oh please Maze, it's just one. For a short period of time might I add. If either of those feathered freaks knew that this girl had any connection at all to me. It could easily be a bloody disaster."

"That's why we just send her off, get her out of here."

Lucifer rolled his eyes. "No, that's what they would want."

"Oh really, or is it just not what you want."

He growled at little at her statement. She put her hands up in defense. "Just saying, when have you cared about humans."

"I don't. This is just different. She is different."

Maze crossed her arms and shot him a look. "I'm not discussing this anymore Maze. It's happening." He turned away from her and headed backward down the stairs.

Leaving the demon alone up at the top of the staircase. Her fists clenched as she wondered what human illnesses her once heartless boss had been infected with.

Callie turned and watched him walk back over to her. "Is everything ok?" She asked.

"Oh, yes. Just Maze being a worry wart as always."

"So, wait you are really offering me a job, here?" She said not fully believing the man that stood before her.

"Why yes. As my DJ." He said pointing to his set on the corner of the club.

"A DJ…"

"You wanna write songs well then you gotta learn from the best, luv." He flashed his devilish smile again. "As well as stay here."

Her mouth dropped open. "S-stay here...ok what's going on. Why are you just inviting me into your home."

He stifled a little laugh. "Cause I don't wanna get sued after the other night's fiasco."

Callie let out a loud laugh but realized he was serious. "Oh, you're being honest."

"Devil never lies."

"The Bible would say otherwise."

That got another smile from him. However, it wasn't the whole truth. Yes, he feared some kind of legal endeavor after the other night, though that's something he could easily get out of. However with his siblings wandering around. A human that had gotten close to him, even for a few moments was in danger. A human with cracks in her soul did not deserve to be taken so soon. He was gonna make sure of that. Why did he want to do this for her, for a human? He had no clue. He just knew it had to be done.

Over the course of next few days, Callie moved her things into the apartment a few floors below Lucifer's penthouse. The devil and his demon had been nothing but useless during the move. Always off doing other things, and in some cases other people. Callie swore she saw Maze go through ten men in the course of an hour.

Lucifer had been off trying to figure out why his siblings were back. Walking around with several books, and muttering phrases in other languages. Even praying at some points. A feat that the devil himself very rarely took part in. Only when the devil was scared did he call to the heaven above for some swift answers. However, as always the wankers didn't answer. So it was back to books and research the old way.

Callie had finally moved in when he walked in an old book in hand as the sun started to set behind the Los Angeles skin line.

"Ah, lovely you're unpacked." He sat down in a chair near the window of the room. "Now I need your help. Your family is the holy type."

"So is yours." She said as she adjusted a painting on the wall.

"Yes, but I'm not."

"Neither am I." She said with a smirk, that almost made the devil go cross.

"Can you stop being a smart ass."

"Only after you stop." She said plopping down on her bed. He quickly rose to his feet and growled a little. Callie froze instantly, dropping down onto the bed in the process. "S-sorry." She muttered softly.

Lucifer ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "No, I am. Didn't mean to lose my cool it's just…"

"Your siblings…"

He nodded to her. "Still amazed you are taking to this so easily."

She shrugged a little. "I've seen the devil's face before. It was kind of hard not to believe you after a bit of time." He shot her a look, but she just waved it off. "Story for another time." She had seen it before. Maybe not the same one, but she had seen it before. Sensed it in him. She knew his words were the truth.

The devil decided to just let that one slide for now. Honestly not wanting to get into it at the moment. "Anyways, back to me." He said with a smirk. "According to old scriptures. As a protection towards heaven's wrath. Sinners would use pure souls to protect them."

Callie laughed loudly at that. "You, of all beings believe that?"

Lucifer blushed instantly. "W-well…" he was flustered. A sensation he had never felt before. He huffed a little and crossed his arms. "I surely should be one to believe this stuff. Since I know how upstairs is run."

"Ok, so is that true."

The devil ran his hand through his hair again. "W-well...no."

Callie just smirked again. "So then a pure soul isn't gonna work."

Lucifer sighed running his hand through his hair again. Knowing it had been a stupid thing to think of. It's just...after all this time. After being left alone for a year. Right when things start going in a good way, they have to show up. They have to take everything away from him as always. They had to come back and ruin it again. It confused and fogged up the devil's mind. There was only one thing that would clear it.

Sex.

Pure release of the bodies utter most desires. Callie had yet to have slept with him and she was right in front of him.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Linda sputtered pulling the flustered devil out of his story. "You use sex as a way to clear your mind?"

"Well of course doctor, what else would you use it for?"

"Um, intimacy. Love. Compassion. Passion." Linda said trying to wrap her sleep deprived mind around what he was saying. "So you're saying when you have sex it's because you need clarity about what's going on in your life? That it helps you see?"

"Well, I suppose so...what does this have to do with anything Doctor?"

"Nothing...just needed to get some actual progress out of all of this."

Lucifer huffed a little and leaned back in the coach. "May I continue now?"

"Yes, yes please do."

He moved out of the chair and onto the bed where she sat. He took his hand and placed them on her shoulders. Callie's eyes went wide as he pushed her down on the bed.

"WHOA WHAT THE HELL!" She shouted and she kneed him off of her. His lengthy body falling onto the floor with a thud.

"What the hell is right," he thought to himself as he looked up at her from the floor. Had a human just denied him sex? Him!?

"Lucifer what was that!" Callie said glaring down at him.

"I-I um...should go."

"Yeah, you should," Callie said crossing her arms. As the devil stumbled to his feet and moved out of the room.

What was going on with him? What was wrong with him? A human couldn't be doing this to him. A human couldn't deny him what he needed. Though he wondered how did she manage to do that?

Flustered and frustrated and headed back up to his penthouse.

Maze who was lurking in the shadows had heard all that had just happened. Her hand gripped on one of her blades.

"Humans, a dangerous kind."
