Chapter 14: New or Unexpected?

I looked at the stranger.

'' Who are you? And, how do you know my name?'' I asked him.

'' Honestly, Merlin. I haven't aged that much.'' He told me.

I was prepared to use my magic.

'' One more time. WHO. ARE. YOU?'' I told him.

'' It's me, Merlin. Lucifer... Morningstar.'' He told me.

'' Sure.'' I told him.

'' I see you still don't believe me. You leave me no choice.'' After he said that, he showed me his true face... for a few seconds.

'' Now do you believe me?'' He asked me.

'' Yes.'' I told him unfazed.

'' Weird. I thought I was going to get more than a 'yes' from you.'' He said.

'' Lucifer. There are few things that scare me. Now, tell me what you're doing here?'' I asked him.

'' If you mean Earth, I'm here for some vacation but if you are referring to Gotham, then the answer is clear to you.'' He told me with a smirk.

'' Where is Etrigan?'' I asked him.

'' I don't know. Really. I thought you knew.'' He told me.

'' Lucifer, I'm not playing games. Tell me where he is!'' I told him.

'' Calm down, Dragoon. I really don't know where he is. And, if we want to find out where he is, we must work together. Plus, your magic doesn't scare me. The only thing that scares me is my sister's taste for men.'' He said.

I calmed down and told him,'' Okay.''

Lucifer smiled and said,'' Great. Let's get going.''

I thought he was going to fly, but I was confused when he started to walk. He turned back to see me and asked me,'' What's wrong? Did you changed your mind?''

'' No, it's just that aren't you going to fly?'' I asked him.

'' Oh, that. I really need to catch you up to speed on everything that has happened this few years. And, don't worry I have a car.'' He said as I was following him.

'' Okay... Why are you scared about your sister's taste for men?'' I asked him out of curiosity.

'' Really? The only important men in her love life are an ugly, purple monster and an annoying 4th wall breaker. They are from the world you once visited.'' He told me with disgust.

'' How do-''

'' Let's keep going, Merlin.'' He interrupted me.

*Inside of Wayne Manor*

'' Thank you for everything.'' Chloe told me with a smile.

'' You- you're welcome.'' I said.

Before she disappeared, I stopped her by saying,'' Can I ask you something in return?''

'' Sure.'' She said.

'' You're a reporter and for what company do you work for?'' I asked.

'' I work for the Daily Planet. A friend of mine was suppose to be here, but he couldn't make it.'' She told me.

'' Oh.. I see.'' I told her, but I saw that her eyes went wide.

'' What's wrong?'' I asked her.

She pointed at someone who just arrived with a woman by his side.

'' Who's that?'' I asked her.

'' That's Van Wayne, Bruce Wayne's lesser known cousin, but I don't know about the woman next to him.'' She said.

I looked at Van and thought,'' He looks nothing like Bruce.''

*Where Van is*

'' Jackie.'' I said, but she was more focused on her phone.

'' Jackie!'' I said louder which finally caught her attention.

'' What's wrong, Van?'' She asked me.

'' Do you see Bruce anywhere?'' I asked her as I was looking around.

'' No, Van. I think he'll be late.'' She told me.

'' How can you be so sure about that?'' I asked her.

'' Name one party in which he didn't arrive late.'' She told me.

I thought about it then answered,'' That's a good point.''

Before she managed to return to her phone, I asked her,'' Jackie, why are you so obsessed with your phone.''

'' My kid has a babysitter.'' She told me.

'' I don't see the problem. Babysitters are better than parents.'' I told her.

'' Emily is the babysitter and, apparently, Teddy, Ron and Wendy are also in my house.'' Jackie said.

'' Oh, then, you should really get back to your phone.'' I told her.

'' Yeah.'' She said, but she couldn't get back to her phone because two lovely ladies appeared before us.

'' Hi, my name is Chloe Sullivan and my friend here is Talia. I would like to ask you some questions.'' The blond woman said.
