Journey of the Devil

Chapter 34 - intense conversations ahead, very intense, just so your warned.

"Lucifer... why were you kicked out of heaven" Trixie asked direct and to the point, fearlessly as she sat across the couch from Lucifer, Everyone's eyes went wide not believing that Trixie just asked that.

"Monkey, maybe this isn't a good idea, some things are private and" but before Chloe could say another word Lucifer cut her off

"I'm impressed spawn, not many humans would have the guts to ask me that question" Lucifer said grinning with admiration for the little girl, then he calmly started to answer the question "my father is far more of a douche than yours ever thought about being". Lucifer stopped speaking, hoping this was good enough of an answer for the ten year old girl, but it wasn't.

"You said you would answer all of my questions honestly Lucifer" Trixie said almost reprimanding the devil himself. Lucifer nodded his head, he did say that afterall. Everyone stared intently, none of them knowing where exactly this would go, Lucifer then gave the little girl a small saddened smile.

"The build up to me getting kicked out of heaven started millions of years before the actual event happened Beatrice, it's a very long story so I will try to condense it for you so that this doesn't take up all the space in your notebook" Lucifer said as he grinned at Beatrice because she was writing notes in her notebook, Lucifer thought it was adorable, Trixie glared at him

"I have to make sure I take down notes Lucifer, good reporters take down notes".

Lucifer shook his head grinning "no problem kid, take down all the notes you need, and like I promised I will answer every question honestly, I promise". The nervous tension in the room was as thick as could be, Chloe nor Daniel knew where this was going to go, Amenadiel had started to sweat wondering what his brother was up to, Ella was holding her cross close to her chest still nervous after seeing Lucifer's power, Linda and Maze just stood close to Amenadiel watching and worrying, Azrael felt both her eyes twitching, of course Lucifer would give an interview to a ten year old little girl, that lovable maniac.

"Lucifer...you're going to tell a kid about why you were kicked out of heaven...are you sure about this" Frank asked calmly as he stared at Lucifer, Lucifer only smiled back casually

"I sure am Frank, this is one of my better ideas, what could possibly go wrong" Lucifer said smiling almost maniacly towards Frank.

"Lucifer...what are you doing?" Chloe asked feeling scared and irritated.

"Sitting on your couch trying to be interviewed by your daughter... are you not paying attention detective, it seems relatively obvious doesn't it?" Lucifer replied exasperated and annoyed by the detectives lack of observation.

"That's not what I meant and you know it you passive aggressive psychopath" Chloe replied furious and no longer being able to take it anymore, she couldn't take him anymore, she was gonna have to try and strangle him.

"Mommy I want to interview Lucifer now, so please let me, i'm ten years old now I know what i'm doing" Trixie said pleading to her mother. Lucifer grinned smugly at Chloe

"Yeah mommy what the spawn said" Lucifer said infuriating Chloe with that stupid arrogant grin on his face, which was quickly admonished by Trixie

"And Lucifer stop messing with everyone, it's not very nice" Trixie said crossing her arms together glaring at satan, almost like her mom would which annoyed Lucifer.

"I have no idea what you're talking about spawn, i've been a sweetheart the whole time" Lucifer replied almost childlike, then he looked at team 666 "right guys?" Angela shook her head at her favorite devil.

"You have been a little harsh with them Lucifer" Angela replied with a small sympathetic smile "you nearly scared that Marcus guy to death, and you put Maze through a wall...twice Lucifer, and you've literally made all your old friends shake in fear of you, and your words have been...aggressively angry at times" Angela said as she hoped that what she said would ring some kind of bell in the champion's mind.

"Angela...it's not my fault lieutenant no one cares is a big wuss, it's not my fault that Maze started a fight with me she couldn't finish, nor is it my fault that Maze is a big liar" Lucifer was becoming more angry and animated in his words "it's not my fault that everyone here except for Beatrice absolutely sucks, nor is it my fault that none of them have a backbone, like I said Angela i've been a damn sweetheart the whole time" Lucifer was so furious and pissed off by this point that he was almost shaking with fury but he controlled it.

"Calm down Lucifer, just calm down alright" Dennis said trying to be a calming for Lucifer and get his anger and angst under control because that is what it was, Lucifer felt hurt by these people and that was the problem inside of him.

Lucifer stood up from the couch fury in his eyes "I am calm, I am perfectly calm, why wouldn't I be calm, Dennis i'm fine i'm just freaking fantastic, I mean come on Dennis passive aggressive, is that really what i'm being right now?" Lucifer then walked around the couch quickly and stood in in front of a terrified Daniel and Ella with a concerned Azrael standing by them "What do you two think hmmm Ms. Lopez, detective douche, am I being... aggressive right now?" Lucifer then let his eyes flash hellfire red, both of them taking a step back in fear.

"Please man...please stop... please don't hurt us" Dan said walking backwards and feeling like a mouse staring down a tiger.

"I SAID AM I BEING AGGRESSIVE, ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION" Lucifer yelled out laughing as Ella and Daniel both nearly fainted in fear..

Yeshua's voice was heard out of thin air just like before, "You're being a complete asshole that is what you're being Lucifer".

Lucifer took a few steps back and stood in the middle of the room and looked up fury etched in his voice "Stay out of this you little bastard, this is none of your business, none at all, you hear me you messianic little prick" Lucifer said glaring upward, everyone was petrified again, Lucifer was back to being furious.

"What really has you so pissed off Lucifer? Why don't you just actually say how you feel instead of all of these shows of power" Yeshua hissed back, his voice only serving to annoy Lucifer even more.

"Why the hell do you think i'm angry Yeshua hmmmm, you know it all bastard, I thought these people were actually my friends, but for the last month of me being here, I didn't see them, none of them at all, none of them came to my penthouse to see me, they all literally just forgot about me, everyone except Beatrice who took it upon herself to get an uber to come see me and at least say that she missed me, the rest of them... nothing...nothing at all so you know what, everyone of them except for Beatrice can go straight to hell" Lucifer furiously said boiling tears coming down his eyes, Everyone of his old friends and family from L.A felt their heartrates spike, and nausea threaten to overcome them, Lucifer... Aka Satan just said they could all go to hell.

"Lucifer I know you're angry right now but please understand" but before Yeshua could respond Lucifer cut him off harshly

"Shut up- shut the fuck up and listen for once you annoying little son of a bitch, you keep wanting to interupt me and now... now you wanna sit up there and give me your idiotic platitude speeches as if they really mean a damn, but you don't know, you really don't know what i'm feeling right now" Lucifer's words and fury pouring into the room like hot lava from a volcano.

"OH, so I don't know how you feel, I don't know what it' like to feel abandoned and hurt, and feeling like you're completely alone, did you forget who your talking to Lucifer, I was betrayed and abandoned before my death on earth Lucifer, but I couldn't bring myself to hate them for it because I had to remember I was also dying for them, I couldn't let hate rule my heart just like you can't let hate rule your heart, you have to see that" Yeshua said trying to remain calm because he knew that Lucifer was still very new to human emotions, they were raw to him.

"We are not alike Yeshua, we're just not, I would never stand in a garden and let my supposed friend kiss me on the cheek just so I could be led away to my death, screw that, that logic is completely foolish Yeshual!" Lucifer angrily retorted, not knowing what Yeshua was getting at and hating having these kind of conversations with him, because Yeshua was always a clever little bastard.

"No...no you wouldn't do that...but Lucifer you did sacrifice your love for the woman you love, you knew she was a miracle created to meet you and you sacrificed your love and your feelings so that she would be free from all that entailed, that's pretty selfless, but yet here you are now still so angry because of that choice, taking out all of this anger on those you were close too, all because of a choice YOU made, I chose to die Lucifer, I made that choice, I didn't blame everyone else for that choice, I took that choice upon myself, a lesson you have not yet learned my dear brother" Yeshua calmly replied sensing that his words were hitting Lucifer hard and knowing that a brutal comeback was on it's way.

Everyone heard the words coming from Yeshua's voice, everyone heard the words coming from Lucifer, and Lucifer's eyes were flashing HELLFIRE, he was a few seconds from completely snapping, his body was shaking with fury and everyone could see it, and Chloe knew from what Yeshua's voice just said that Lucifer did love her, even if he had pushed her completely away to protect her, even if he was pushing her away now, Chloe knew the truth she knew all of it now, Lucifer loved her, Lucifer died twice and went to hell for her, Lucifer killed his brother for her, faced off against his mother to protect her, got married to Candy to protect her, even went to therapy with Linda to try and learn what it meant to be human...for her, she wanted to say something to Lucifer, she wanted him back in her life as her partner and something more, but she didn't know what to say, but before she could someone else walked up to Lucifer to try and calm him down.

Angela quickly walked up to Lucifer looking truly concerned as she put her hands on his face to try and get him to look at her "Lucifer it's alright to be angry, it's alright to be confused, this is all new to you, I know you're trying your best, but you can't let your anger control you like this...it will destroy you Lucifer" Angela said trying to be soothing, trying to comfort her favorite devil...her favorite champion.

Lucifer looked down at the young woman, his body still shaking with fury, losing his breath with the massive amount of anger and rage he felt, the whole apartment was shaking, everyone was horrified at what might happen.

Lucifer's voice dropped low, to a dangerous and sadistic tone, rage guiding his every word "You know Yeshua, you really are a fool, you wanna throw it all in my face like that, you want to play that game with me... well fine allow me to retort, do you remember when they were nailing you to your cross, and you screamed 'father forgive them for they know not what they do' do you want to know the ironic part about that hmmmm... each and every single one of them went straight to hell, all of them Yeshua, and do you want to know the funny part, all of them including Judas are all nailed to their own crosses in hell, and those crosses are all on fire, that's what I did to punish them Yeshua, that's what your big sacrifice did, that's what your pleas of forgivness for them did, nothing, because they all came to me anyway... how's that for your choice Yeshua" Lucifer ruthlessly and hatefully said.

Everyone was horrified... frightened... and outright scared shitless over what they just heard, and how Lucifer said it, but not Yeshua, he expected that, he knew Lucifer, he had hit Lucifer hard and perhaps below the belt and he knew that Lucifer would respond in kind just like that, but Yeshua was ready,

"You still don't get it Lucifer, you truly don't, I know they're all in hell, but it was their choices that led them there not mine, you're taking your anger out on those that you were close to because of the choices you made not the choices they made, and you damn well know it" Yeshua calmly replied.

"What part of they never came to see me the last month I was here did you not understand Yeshua, i'm pretty sure that was their choice not mine" Lucifer angrily hissed out.

"We both know the truth Lucifer, pushing Chloe away the way you did so that she could be happy crushed you, and when you pushed her away, you also pushed everyone else away, they responded to the choice you made, it was your choice to push them away first, and you did that because of the pain you felt from a broken heart...it's actually a very human response Lucifer just so you know" Yeshua replied patiently and calmly. "Oh and by the way you still owe me a favor, and you also owe Azrael a favor or have you forgotten my brother".

"What the bloody hell are you talking about Yeshua, I paid you back your favor for giving Maze a soul by coming here in the first place, we're even Yeshua" Lucifer said frustration evident in his voice.

"Are you honestly as a champion saying that it took a favor to get you to go help Beatrice get out of her insanity, and I like how you conveniently forgot how Azrael helped guard Nancy and Angela when you needed her to so you could go catch a bad guy. balls in your court 'champion of earth" Yeshua replied with an almost smart ass tone...if he was any other brother Lucifer would be bashing his brains in and Lucifer's eyes were twitching with frustration and anger, Lucifer was looking over at Azrael, whom was also grinning at this point.

"Yes Yeshua I guess you're right, I owe both you and Azrael a favor, so what do you want you little arrogant manipulative bastard?" Lucifer hissed out, his eyes glowing hellfire red from his fury.

"You Lucifer are going to work with Chloe Decker for the next two weeks, but if it's alright Azrael i'd like that to be his favor to you, I have my own request of Lucifer if you don't mind" Yeshua said sounding way too cocky for Lucifer's taste.

"I'm fine with that Yeshua" Azrael said grinning at Lucifer "I think our angry lightbringer brother, needs to learn a lesson".

Lucifer chuckled at both Yeshua and Azrael, "it looks like you two dumbasses got it totally wrong, no way the detective, a married woman is going to want me as her partner again, if I remember right I was selfish, reckless, incorrigable, childish, and a whole bunch of other stuff she said that I don't remember nor care about, but still your both dumbasses, there is no way she will go for" but Lucifer was cut off by Chloe

"He can be my partner Mr. Yeshua" Chloe then looked at Azrael with knowing eyes, knowing what Yeshua and Azrael were really trying to do, Lucifer in order to be the best champion he could be had to face his emotions and not be ruled by them, and Chloe could tell a simple fact, she was the main source of his anger, everything that had happened and how it happened crushed Lucifer just like Yeshua said, and Lucifer had to truly overcome this to truly become a champion. Chloe then looked at Azrael, and both women gave each other a knowing look and a nod of respect, they had a rocky start to say the least but in that look they both understood each other.

"Wow... Mr. Yeshua...seriously detective" Lucifer said condescendingly which Chloe chose to ignore, Lucifer rubbed his eyes in pure frustration "Fine Yeshua work with Mrs. Pierce for two weeks as my favor to Azrael, hey I handled it for over two years, I can do it for two weeks, sure it'll be terrible just like it was before but i'll be just fine... now what is your favor Yeshua...what do you want from me hmmmm?".

Chloe ignored the pain she felt from those words, Lucifer was too blinded by his own rage to feel anything but his own pain, that was the entire point of all of this, Chloe and all of those from L.A were realizing this fact, realizing this truth, even if Lucifer himself wasn't.

"Lucifer when your two weeks are over with Chloe Decker, you will let every friend and family member from your time in L.A be your team as you perform your duties as 'champion of earth'" Yeshua said with a finality in his tone that made Lucifer want to destroy stuff.

"I have a team you stupid bastard" Lucifer replied words barely escaping because of the fiery pit of rage in his gut.

"and Angela, Nancy, Frank, and Dennis have all done very well, but I will ask them to step aside for this small amount of time and let the others be your team for that brief period, and I would ask Chloe Decker, Dan Espinoza, Mazikeen, Amenadiel, Linda Martin, and Ella Lopez to all put aside their fear and help you Lucifer, it's just two weeks" Yeshua calmly said.

Trixie then ran and gave Lucifer a hug and with a smile on her face said "Yeah and i'm going to be part of your superhero team to Lucifer, don't forget about me Mr. Yeshua sir".

"Of course not Beatrice I would never forget about you, in fact I think you'll be the most important member of his team when the time comes sweetheart" Yeshua kindly said.

Lucifer felt irritated on a whole new level of irritation and looked down at Beatrice with a small smile "Beatrice you don't have to call him Yeshua, his real name is actually intrusive cocksucke"

"LUCIFER!" Angela, Chloe, and Azrael said all at the exact same time keeping Lucifer from finishing his thought completely. Lucifer then started to rub the temples of his head to help ease the migraine that he was now experiencing.

"Alright Yeshua what about my mission in Dallas, you know the mission I was working on just a little while ago, you know Andrew Wills, possessed by a demon, massive drug trafficking and drug dealing ring, the bastard my team was just working on bringing down, you remember right" Lucifer said crossing his arms over his chest, and feeling like he wanted to rip people apart piece by damn piece.

"Your team can still keep working the mission in Dallas Lucifer, I will watch over them from up here and keep them safe, and you can even help them when your not busy with Detective Decker, you don't have to worry about their safety Lucifer I promise you" Yeshua replied.

Angela then touched Lucifer's arm gently and said "hey we will have the charity gathering set up and call you in a few days when it's ready for you, we'll take down Wills together Lucifer, no worries alright" Angela said soothingly.

"Angela and Yeshua are right Lucifer, we'll be just fine alright, your obviously still needed here" Dennis said knowing that was the truth but knowing Lucifer hated it.

"Beatrice can you cover your ear's for a few moments please darling?" Beatrice whom was still hugging Lucifer at this point did as she was asked knowing Lucifer was going to say adult stuff "Why in the bloody hell are you both supporting Intrusive cocksucker right now?" Lucifer then looked at Angela with half a glare "and why in the bloody hell are you so concerned about everyone here for, I mean you don't even know them?" Angela then kissed Lucifer on the cheek again.

"I've been far more worried about you Lucifer" Angela said squeezing Lucifer's arm.

"Still doesn't explain why you agree with Intrusive cocksucker for?" Lucifer replied almost pouting.

"because he's jesus, and we mere mortals tend to listen when people like that speak" Angela replied putting her hands on her hips as she glared at Lucifer with half a grin.

"hmmmm, I thought you might have had a crush on me, didn't know you had your eyes on Intrusive cocksucker" Lucifer replied glaring at Angela with a half grin of his own.

Azrael then spoke up and said "Lucifer i'm going to teleport your team home, you have a long two weeks ahead of you brother" Azrael then walked and stood next to Dennis, Frank, and Nancy who all stood there patiently "Coming Angela?"

Angela gave one last grin to Lucifer and then kissed him on his other cheek "I don't have a crush on intrusive cocksucker, but I do have a big crush on Arrogant Hothead" Angela then winked at Lucifer and went with Azrael and Azrael teleported them all away, leaving Lucifer alone with his old friends and family.

Lucifer then looked around awkwardly at all the faces in the room "bloody hell I guess I need to do this the right way" he said as cordially as he could. Lucifer then looked at all of them one by one and realized that he had no choice because of Yeshua's and Azrael's favors, he had to try to be cordial with them all "My name is Lucifer Morningstar, i'm a billionaire superhero, and I just happen to be satan, and the prince of darkness...any questions anyone?"

"I want to finish our interview Lucifer" Trixie said smiling up at the tall devil

"Of course darling we can do that" Lucifer replied nodding his head.

"And Lucifer will you date my mommy, it would be so cool if my mommy dated a superhero, and your satan, that's totally awesome, and you look so much younger Lucifer, how did that happen, and how fast can you fly, and Lucifer what's hell like, and Lucifer why do your eyes flash red sometimes, that's so cool". Lucifer felt his head spinning.
