Journey of the Devil
Chapter 11
Lucifer was on the ground laughing as Marcus was on the ground puking his guts out because of Maze kicking him in his balls, Lucifer thought the whole scene was glorious, the bewildered faces of Chloe and Dan, the giggling of Trixie, and the smirk of Maze who was just laughing as she said "Lucifer's idea, not mine".
"Your an idiot brother" Azrael said with a wide smirk as she slowly rolled her eyes at her brothers foolishness, he just resurrected a human being on a street in downtown L.A "Have you completely lost your mind Lucifer, you know the rules why did you just bring her back".
Lucifer still in a fit of laughter on the ground looked up at his sister trying to regain his breath from the laughter "Will you relax Sis, no one can see us since we are currently in the recesses of the spirtual plane, and I came here because Frank had a vision that sent me here"
Azrael had a look of surprise on her face, she didn't know that Frank would have visions and her face clearly expressed her surprise.
"You didn't know that did you sis, Frank was given some gifts before being sent to be my liaison to heaven, one of those gifts being visions meant to help me, so there take that and put in your bloody thinking cap sis" Lucifer said with a grin as he was pulling himself off the ground finally finished with his hysterical laughter.
"You still just brought her back to life Lucifer, your risking the exposure of our world to humanity, especially with everything you have been doing lately, you've been going nonstop Lucifer, leaving criminals and bad people insane, all the healings and mysterious saves you've been doing, the world knows that someone is out there doing these things" Azrael said trying to break through to her stubborn brother. Azrael didn't know whether she wanted to hug him or punch him, he was taking the job of 'champion of earth' seriously but he was acting like a maniac at times. Azrael couldn't help the slight smirk on her face as she realized that the devil was actually being called 'the devil' by the human media, and actually being considered as some sort of vigilante or superhero by people, the irony was poetic and certainly not lost on Azrael and even now as she stared at her brothers grin, she herself wondered if Lucifer was more devil or angel.
"Im just doing my job sis, that's all, 'champion of earth' thats the job, thats the gig so that is what I am focused on" Lucifer said with a determined face, emotions clearly showing his honesty and the sincerity of how he felt, he was taking his new job and title seriously and Azrael could certainly respect that.
"Are you sure you didn't resurrect her because you care for these people" Azrael asked looking at Chloe, Dan, Trixie, and Maze with a knowing look, she knew her brother still missed these people, she knew that he loved Chloe and probably always would which is why his response caught her off guard.
"They're innocents, nothing more and nothing less, I would protect them just like I would anyone else, it's what my job title entails, I've let them all go sister" Lucifer said with the tiniest of smiles, Azrael knew that Lucifer didn't lie except perhaps to himself which is why she didn't fully believe him.
"Lucifer, I don't think you're being fully honest with yourself, the only one you would ever lie to is yourself brother, those are strong words" Azrael said feeling as if Lucifer was just trying to convince himself, as if he could block the pain of losing them of losing her by lying to himself, by trying to convince himself that they no longer matter.
"Azrael when I fell to hell my body was burned to a crisp, every inch of my real body is scarred beyond imaginning, and other than a very select few of my siblings that remained slightly close to me, I was ostracized from all of you, except for you and i'd say Yeshua I was completely alone and cut off, I had no choice but to let all of my siblings go because I had no choice, it's what I had to do to survive, here and now is no different sister, Chloe Decker, Beatrice Decker, Daniel Espinoza, Mazikeen, Linda Martin, Ella Lopez, Amenadiel, and certainly Marcus Pierce have no special place in my heart, they're innocents, good people, I want them to be happy but that's it, and that sister is the truth, no lying to you or myself" Lucifer said with a determined resolute, and slightly cold voice that made Azrael just a little uneasy.
"I believe you Lucifer, but it doesn't change the fact that these humans that you were so close to will now know that you're the devil, the literal devil and probably the superhero one that you have managed to create" Azrael adding slight emphasis to her words in order to make her point. Lucifer was slowly changing the world and Azrael could see it whereever she went, the newsstations would not stop covering 'the devil' out there stopping bad guys and doing good deeds, if Lucifer wasn't careful he was going to expose their world and Azrael knew this to be true and she hoped that Lucifer realized it to.
"I can't operate as 'champion of earth' in complete secret it's impossible, if 'the devil' is going to be out there stopping bad guys and helping people, then Lucifer Morningstar has to be the public figure that everyone sees, the more they look at Lucifer Morningstar, the less they will think that I am hiding something" Lucifer then turned toward his sister with a grin "Misdirection sister, get them looking one way instead of the other".
Azrael thought her brother was crazy and her eyes certainly let him know that "So let me get this straight, your idea of keeping secret is to make yourself more public, are you actually out of your mind Lucifer?" Azrael just didn't know what her brother was thinking, an ego trip, perhaps his need to be the center of attention was finally making him insane or perhaps her brother was finally out of his mind.
"It's simple sister, I can't be 'champion of earth' from a suite in Las Vegas, it's only a matter of time before someone figures out who and what I am if I continue as I am, I need to be in a position that gives me an excuse to always be on the move, and I know exactly what I must do to make that happen" Lucifer said with a devilish grin
"Oh yeah and what's that Lucifer, become a billionaire again, open up some clubs all around the country, or no you know what let's get real crazy and open up clubs all around the world, that way the entire world can know the name Lucifer Morningstar, is that your plan Lucifer?" Azrael said sarcastically and with a good amount of humor in her voice, she then turned toward her brother and fell silent at his look.
Lucifer was giving his sister his most devilish grin "precisely sister, that's exactly my plan". Azrael had a look of sheer shock on her face, her brother was the most audacious maniac that she had ever known and at times she didn't know how to understand him. Azrael could also see the bewildered shocked faces of Chloe, Daniel, Marcus, and to some extent Trixie even though she was far more happy than shocked or surprised, Azrael knew that a big conversation was about to happen and that she would have to be a part of it because Lucifer certainly wouldn't be.
Authors notes- I hope you like the idea of a superhero Lucifer, I haven't seen a story like that so I wanted to give it a try, eventually Lucifer will have to meet up with his old crew in L.A again, i'm building it up, hope everyone is enjoying the story.
