Lucifer slowly opened his eyes to see the goddess in front of him, while realizing he was tied to a chair in some kind of warehouse.

"Wakey, wakey, sleepyhead. We've got a lot of work to do." Aphrodite patted his head and walked around him like a predator circling its prey.

"What do you want with me? Where's Chloe?" Lucifer shouted at her.

"Relax. The human's secured in the other room, safe and sound. And the reason I want you is because I'm starving. I feed off of the souls that die during sex, but I haven't been properly fed in ages. That's where you come in." she whispered in his ear.

"... You want to amplify your power with me. You cause the hearts to explode and then-" He worked on trying to get one of his hands loose from the rope.

"And then the power I amass will let me take over any place of divinity I want. Olympus, Heaven, Hell. All ripe for the taking. So..." She held her hand over Lucifer's heart. "Let's begin, shall we?" She slammed her hand against where his heart was, and a red energy flowed over Lucifer's body and started to fly off in different directions.

"Wanna see what's happening?" Aphrodite laughed and then created a mirror that showed the streets outside. People were being hit by the energy and convulsing on the ground, gripping at their chests. "Mmm. The sweet smell of orgasmic death."

"You little..." Lucifer kicked her in the leg and she stumbled back a few feet. Lucifer slipped one of his hands out and picked up the chair with the other, slamming Aphrodite in the face with it.

"... I hate you, Morningstar." Aphrodite pulled a knife out from her calf, and tried to cut Lucifer with it. Stabs, thrusts, and slices were to no avail, as Lucifer kept dodging them. He grabbed her hand and squeezed her wrist hard, causing her to drop the knife.

"Enough." He stared her in the eye, and his face changed into his true form. His skin turned black and red, burnt and bleeding. Aphrodite shuddered at seeing him like this, the devil instead of the angel.

"Please... Don't kill me. I'll do anything for you. I serve you, just spare my life!" she begged him, as he continued to look down on her.

"I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to make you beautiful. Just as beautiful as the REAL me." He grabbed her and a crack opened up in the floor, flames spilling out of it.

"No, no. Please! I can't go to Hell! Please! Lucifer, have mercy!"

"Who said anything about GOING to Hell?" He snarled, and then forced her face over the flames, which burned black over her skin. Her screams filled the room, and red energy dripped from her skin. Lucifer pulled her back and she laid on the ground, crying softly. Lucifer went over to the other room, tried to open it, only to find it locked. He grabbed the key from Aphrodite and looked inside. Chloe was laying on a bed, peacefully asleep.

"DETECTIVE! Up and at 'em. Got a bad guy for you to take away." He woke her up and she bolted straight up. She rubbed her head and walked out with him, looking over at Aphrodite's charred face and neckline and the crack in the floor.

"My god. What happened?" Chloe exclaimed as she pulled Aphrodite up and cuffed her.

"Gas explosion. I barely got singed, but poor Aphrodite here got most of the blast. Such a shame. She had a very pretty face." Lucifer smugly grinned at Aphrodite.

"Sure, for a sex-addicted sociopath. come on, you." Chloe lead her away and Lucifer followed shortly behind them.

"That's my girl."
