Lucifer growled at the news report as people claimed that the slaughter at the Portland First Methodist church was his fault. Even Sam was indignant at the holier than thou attitude now making it's way through the religious community. Lucifer stood up shaking with rage.

"Lucifer, calm down." Castiel attempted to calm Lucifer's rage.

"No! This is the last freaking straw!" Lucifer growled. "All these years and these cockroaches blame me for what they choose to do. I don't make them do anything, they exercise their free will and then hide behind the devil. It stops now!" Lucifer disappeared on a flutter wings.

Balthazar sighed. "I'll just go with Luci and make sure he doesn't destroy the entire West Coast. It's not time for California to fall into the Pacific Ocean just yet."

Balthazar caught up with Lucifer standing at the entrance to a compound bearing a sign proclaiming it 'The Fundamentalist Church Of God'. Lucifer stalked forward and let his wings burst forth followed by Balthazar.

Balthazar could sense the humans on the compound. A large one story building was full of children and a handful of women but most of the adults and teenagers were in the 'church' itself. Lucifer snapped his fingers and suddenly One of the most famous news anchors in the country was standing there complete with a camera crew.

Lucifer looked at the man who was staring at the six wings flaring from Lucifer's back.

"You are about to get the scoop of the century. Turn on that camera I want all of this broadcast live!" Lucifer snarled.

The anchorman took out his phone and called his network warning them that he standing in front of a very angry angel and on the compound of one of the most reviled religious sects of modern times.

"Yes he doesn't look happy at all, you know the saying 'if looks could kill'?" the anchorman said. "I can ask him, Okay that should give me enough time go live as soon as the commercial break is over. I'll be standing by."

Balthazar watched as the newsman closed his phone. "We can go live in five minutes. May I ask who you are?" The Anchor asked carefully.

"I am Lucifer, The Morningstar. The Bearer of Light and I'm tired of you mud monkeys blaming me every time you do something evil. It's time you remember what I am, an Archangel of the Lord and I'm going to straighten out some things today. I'm tired of you blaming me and and using my father as a justification for your own hatred for each other!"


" Dean/Michael snarled at the image on the screen. "Son of a bitch! What the hell is Lucifer thinking?"

"I'm thinking the boy's pissed off about that shooting in the church last night." Bobby said. "After all those sorry bastards that did the shooting claimed it was God's work they were doing."

"And everyone from the Pope to the Dalai Lama is blaming the devil." Ellen said.

John was cringing as he watched since Lucifer was in Sam. So much for hunting now that Sam's face had been splashed on TV screens across the nation.

"I guess Satan is tired of being everyone's scapegoat." Rufus said. "I can't say I blame him. I know I've tried to put a few things on him over the years myself."

"Well Winchester, it looks like both of your sons are about to be famous." Michael said. "Somebody has to keep him from going over the deep end and Balthazar certainly can't control him." Michael disappeared with a soft flutter of wings.


"Let's get one thing straight right now, I don't like you mud monkeys. When father created you, he created you to be born with free will. I thought it was a mistake then and nothing I have seen since then has changed my mind."

Lucifer stalked over to the building where the children were. The first thing they saw when they entered the building was a sign saying 'God hates gays.'

"Look at this!" Lucifer said tearing the sign off of the wall. God Hates? My father does not hate any one of you. You are his most cherished creation and you think he hates you?"

He stalked over to where a terrified woman was holding a small child. He reached out and took the small girl away from the woman with a glare. "This child was not born with hate. None of you are born with hate. It has to be taught because it is not how Father created you.

Look around you. Look at the filth and blasphemy these bastards have plastered the walls with. Messages of hate and vengeance. This is not my father's will nor his desire for you. This child is the closest to what my father desired for you out of everyone on this compound because the hate has not yet taken root in her." Lucifer set the child on her feet surprising everyone with his gentleness.

He made his way out of the building and pointed toward the church. "You call that my father's house, he wouldn't set foot in it. It is an affront to his very nature and yet he is willing to forgive you for the insult.

2000 or so years ago he sent a savior to you. A perfect being to sacrifice himself to suffering for you. Christ was tortured by the Romans and betrayed by God's so called chosen people and he went willingly. Even after I tempted him in the desert. He was willing to die for the vermin that infested this world to pay the debt of original sins committed by Adam, Eve and Lilith. Ever since then you have been born into a state of forgiveness and you choose to turn your backs on it.

Christ was not the only one to die for you. My own brother The Archangel Gabriel stepped up an took an angel blade to his grace to save you from an apocalypse that should have happened just a couple of years ago. I know because I am the one who plunged that blade into him. I'm the one who stood over his lifeless body and cried tears of remorse because he was able to do what our father commanded when the majority of us could not.

This body you see standing before you? His name is Sam Winchester, my earthly vessel. Gabriel sacrificed himself to save Sam and his brother Dean, because he knew that they could avert the coming destruction. And they did. Sam willingly threw himself into the very pit that I had been imprisoned for 2000 years and dragged his half brother Adam Milligan with him because Michael was using Adam at the time as a vessel.

Anael, Castiel and even Balthazar over there are all angels who have died for you. They do as our father commands, they love you above all else. And being the pathetic creatures that you are you spit on the numerous sacrifices made for you.

You exercise the free will our father gave you and then attempt to avoid taking responsibility by blaming me or claiming it was my father's will. I'm putting an end to that right now!"

The cameraman and anchor had not said a word simply let Lucifer speak his piece. They had come to an unspoken agreement that it was probably safest that way. The two jumped in alarm when another angel suddenly appeared.

"Lucifer, do not." The new angel said suddenly appearing in Lucifer's path toward the church.

"Why not, Michael? These bastards insult father by their very existence!" Lucifer said attempting to step around his brother.

"Be that as it may, Father would be angered by what you intend here." Michael grabbed Lucifer's arm and the two disappeared.

"Michael?" the cameraman questioned.

"Yes Michael as in The Archangel Michael, Commander of the Host Most High." Balthazar said calmly. "Brother of Lucifer, Gabriel and Raphael the only four beings of this Earth that have seen the face of our father. Oh and brothers to the rest of us lowly Seraphs.

You see we are all tired of these false prophets. Michael may be attempting to calm Lucifer but he is as tired of it as we all are. You like to consider Lucifer evil when the truth is Lucifer simply has balls enough to say what we all think.

The evil in this world? Well that's all on you and when your lives are over, if you've committed enough evil? Well Michael will toss what's left of your asses into hell, namely your souls. And then you will face Lucifer's wrath."

Balthazar disappeared following Michael who was dragging Lucifer back to the safe house. While the anchor and Cameraman wondered how they were supposed to get back to the studio in New York.
