I do not own Lucifer.
The next few days were quiet, the siblings were spending it apart. They weren't sure what to say to each other. Even their mother was giving them space
But Lilith couldn't stand the distance anymore. She headed down to the club one night when a dozen people were running out. They looked scared. What had Lucifer done now?
Suddenly Charlotte stood next to her. "Lucifer is still grieving."
"Why are you surprised? He lost a family member, not everyone can just move on." Lilith stated.
"Maybe he needs his mother…"
"Don't go near him." Lilith growled. " Haven't you done enough damage? He needs someone who has stood by his side, not someone who turned their face."
Charlotte stared then nodded. Maybe she was finally getting the hint.
Lilith entered the main room of Lux and saw Lucifer sitting at the piano. "I thought I told everyone to get out." He called when he heard footsteps.
"You know I don't listen." She sat down next to him.
He didn't try to push her away, but he didn't say anything more either. Maybe being silent was better.
"I was finally open and honest with someone and I scared her away." Lucifer finally said.
"With who? Chloe? What are you talking about?"
"No, the doctor. She didn't say a word, she just stared."
Lilith knew her brother had gone to Doctor Martin to talk issues out. "What did you do to scare her off?" Lilith asked, not following. What could scare Linda into silence? Lucifer turned away from Lilith and she understood. He had shown his true face to the doctor. Lilith hadn't seen that in the longest time, it was a touchy subject, like his wings. And for once, Lilith felt she had to be the responsible one. "You can't be surprised by her reaction. Humans are supposed to accept the divine on faith alone. You just gave her proof. It's not personal. What were the two of you talking about?"
"Uriel."
Why would Lucifer turn to a non-family member to talk about their brother's passing? Did Lucifer, or any of them actually, know how to grieve properly?
"I killed him, with my own hands, Lilith. It didn't have to be that way. He had the power to destroy everything."
"How was he going to destroy everything?"
"He had Azrael's blade." There was something hallow about Lucifer's voice.
Lilith had no idea about that part. "Azael's blade, the sword of death? Where is it now, Lucifer?" In human hands, it would be deadly.
"It's back where it belongs. No idea how, but it's gone."
"Then you did the right thing, you saved us all. He was treating the sword like a toy, hoping to get our attention. And he paid the price. You are a hero."
"I don't feel like a hero. I still killed my own brother."
"I know." There was nothing more Lilith could say. She then realized she needed to do her own grieving. While she and Uriel hadn't gotten along in Heaven that did not mean she wanted something to happen to him. They were still family.
Her eyes scanned the room and quickly found something she needed. Lucifer was confused when she eft his side but understood when she returned with a small glass bowl that held a candle.
Lilith stuck her flame ring inside and instantly there was a light. She placed back on the piano. Her head rested on his shoulder. Lucifer couldn't help but appreciate the simple gesture. He took her hand and squeezed.
And they both stared at the candle, lost in their own thoughts.
Now Linda knows the truth, are things going to be weird? At least the siblings mourn together.
