"Are you sure you know where we're going?" Lucifer asked incredulously.
"I've spent ages on Earth, of course I know where we're going." Maxine replied.
"Then why are we going so slow?" Lucifer whined, his shoulders sagging.
"It's nice to walk." Maxine shot back. Lucifer glared and she turned his head around, so he could see the huge clearing bordered by tall pine trees. "This is why we've been walking for what, two hours. C'mon." Maxine spread her wings. Archangel's wings. They were huge and white and beautiful. Maxine took off. Lucifer smiled and flew after her. "I'm faster than you!" she taunted, her long lilac hair flying in the wind.
"Don't be so sure." Lucifer yelled, shooting towards her. Maxine ducked and threw a pinecone at Lucifer. Then Lucifer's whole body started jerking, and he crashed through the trees and landed on the forest floor.
"Lucy!" Maxine yelled, and landed next to him. Lucifer's eyes flashed black and Maxine got to her feet. "Oh please no." she said, backing away and shaking her head. "Don't make me watch this again. Please." Lucifer stood up, his eyes completely black. "I miss this body you know. I really do." Lucifer said, and Maxine ran. Thank god her vessel was a good runner, she thought as she tore through the undergrowth. Then she remembered a name. Gabriel. He'd know how to stop it from happening again. Maxine focused her Grace and teleported the shit out of there. She staggered to a stop in front of a shortish man with longish hair. "It's happening again." she said.
"Okay. Not good." Gabriel said. "Hmm, get inside."
"Why?" Maxine asked. Gabriel rolled his eyes.
"Because my house has sigils on it which mean they can't find you here." Maxine nodded and followed Gabriel inside. "So m'dear Max, what's the story morning glory?" Gabriel asked, sitting down on a couch and handing Maxine a beer. "Thanks." Max muttered, taking a sip. "So, I get my Grace back, and so does Cassie, then Michael deletes us from Sam and Dean's memory, then Lucy comes back to hang with me and then shit really hit the fan."
"Well, history repeating itself is really bad, I agree with you there. Are you sure Lucy went all 'I shall murder the entire human race'?" Maxine nodded, sipping the beer. "Okey dokey. You can stay with me. Lucy'll bide his time until he can atcak-" Maxine cut Gabriel off.
"Stop saying his name like it's him who's doing this!" she raged. "You know it's the Darkness possessing him again. It's not him! The real Lucy'd never hurt anyone!" Maxine stormed out of Gabriel's house, leaving the empty beer bottle on the coffee table.
"Castiel." Raphael appeared in front of the trench-coated angel. "You are needed back in Heaven." Castiel answered with a curt nod. He followed Raphael back home.
The Darkness felt it's power dampen as he was forced into the cage. Perhaps taking Lucifer as it's vessel was not such a good idea after all. That other archangel however, she was trusted by those mattered. The Archangel Maxael was next on it's list. First it just had to find a way out of this damn cage…..
