Lucifer stood in the middle of the penthouse, focused entirely on the whiteboard in front of him. He had some time to kill before the Detective arrived for their date. The board had been abandoned since Chloe's kidnapping. He had worked on it here and there, in between cases. Granted, he hadn't found what he was looking for but he could feel that he was right on the cusp of something.
"Lucifer!"
Lucifer turned around from the revenge board, only to find Trixie barreling towards him. He held out his arms, preparing for the hug that was bound to follow. He used to hate them but now only found them mildly irritating. He would never tell this to anyone though. As the Devil, he had an image to uphold.
"Hello Beatrice, where's your mother?" Lucifer asked, scanning the penthouse for a sign of his Detective.
"She'll be up soon. She's going to have Dad come pick me up. I'm supposed to meet him downstairs," Trixie replied as she loosened her grip on him.
"Ah yes, Detective Douche," Lucifer replied, eyes darkening at the mention of him.
"What's wrong? Did you and Dad have a fight?"
"I suppose you could say it was something like that. He saw my Devil face and he didn't take it well."
"How so?" Trixie asked, not letting it go.
"I don't think your mother would want me to tell you."
"Lucifer, I'm 12 years old now. I can handle adult stuff."
"I suppose you're not wrong. When your father saw my face, he shot me," Lucifer admitted before taking a swig of his whiskey. "I'm fine now though."
"Thank goodness. Wait, what's that?" Trixie asked, pointing to the whiteboard in the middle of the penthouse.
He really shouldn't have left the whiteboard in the middle of the penthouse. Anyone could wander in and see it. Granted, they would most likely to give it a second thought. The urchin was a completely different story however. He couldn't lie especially not to her. Now that he thought about it, he really needed to have a password put in on the elevator.
"It's my revenge board," Lucifer admitted.
"Operation Payback Dan? Wait are you planning revenge on my dad for shooting you?"
"Yes I am. It's just a multitude of ideas really. I was going to use a snake but your mother deemed that a tad bit extreme."
"He still shouldn't have shot you. It doesn't matter how scared he was of you or your Devil face. You would never hurt anyone, especially Mom and I. Besides, there's a much easier way you could get revenge," Trixie offered to him.
"What exactly do you have in mind?"
It was three days later that Lucifer stood in the middle of the precinct, ready to get his revenge. The Detective was off chasing a lead on their latest case, which was perfect for him. Soon, his plan would be set into motion. He had even enlisted the help of Miss Lopez. She was reluctant at first, only agreeing after Lucifer promised nothing bad would happen to him. It was 2:58 PM. Soon, Daniel would take his daily pudding break. It never failed to amaze him how painful predictable humans were. There was just one thing he had not planned on however. That was his Detective returning early.
"Lucifer, what are you doing?" Chloe asked, making her presence known.
"Geez darling, you startled me. I'm just watching."
"What exactly are you watching?"
"I'm getting my revenge on Daniel," he admitted.
"You didn't get another snake did you?"
"Detective, I am offended at the insinuation. Besides, I have something much tamer planned," Lucifer replied, returning his attention to the break room.
"What did you do?" she asked cautiously.
"Oh, you'll see shortly."
"LUCIFER!" Dan shouted, storming through the precinct towards him.
It was quite obvious what Lucifer's revenge had been. Somehow he had rigged the precinct fridge to explode with pudding the moment Daniel reached for some. Dan was covered head to toe in chocolate pudding. He had even left a small trail from the break room all the way to Chloe's desk.
"Ah Detective Douche, did you enjoy your pudding?"
"Do you think this is funny man? Did you do this?"
"Oh, it's quite funny. Yes I did Daniel and now we're even. Mmmm chocolate," Lucifer replied, helping himself to pudding from Dan's face.
"I will get you for this."
"Oh, I'm sure you will Daniel. In the meantime, I have business at Lux that I must attend to. See you later my love," Lucifer replied, giving Chloe a quick kiss before leaving.
"Come on Dan, it's a little funny."
"I have pudding in my ear."
Yes, revenge was sweet indeed and so was pudding.
