A/N: Okay. Here it is! The first chapter to the sequel. Be sure you have read "Maybe We Need Each Other" first before this, otherwise everything will just be confusing. :)

I may not post another until later this week, because, finals are coming soon... Along with other stuff, but I will be writing out future chapters on the side so...

Anyway, enjoy!

Once again: The cover art for this story was made by ME! :)

Previously:

"Yes."

Lucifer's grace was now making its way to where Mary stood.

Michael soon covered his evident surprise with a laugh, before speaking over the slow events, "You really have gotten desperate Well, I have news for you.. So have I!"

Michael lunged at her just as the grace began to dim within her, Blade coming down to her chest.

Clank!

At the last possible moment, Mary's arm moved, deflecting his Blade with her own.

A small smirk spread across her lips, before, with a simple flick, she forced his arm back, and she grabbed it with her other hand, twisting it until all bones could be heard snapping.

"Hurt?!" Mary/Lucifer asked, smirk still proudly shown.

Suddenly, the two angels that had been forgotten had gotten up and were now going for the new Lucifer, bent on protecting their Leader.

With a simple snap of fingers, the angels were soon nothing but dust.

"So, any last words?"

Michael gave him the same expression Lucifer gave him only moments before.

However, before he could say anything, a violent pulsing sensation came from behind them, from the portal.

'Lucifer! The portal!' Mary's voice shouted deep from within himself.

"Right...!" Lucifer remembered, before starting into a full run towards the nearly closed portal.

Within a couple seconds, he was, almost, shot out of it, landing on the ground roughly.

Lucifer moved onto his back, taking a few minutes to recover.

'Well. We made it.' Mary spoke within.

Lucifer smiled weakly, "Yes, we did."

Then...

Darkness.

Now...

Chapter 1:

Mary slowly began gaining consciousness.

It was still, somewhat, dark, and she was in an extremely uncomfortable position on the ground.

She must have been out for some time, because morning dew had formed on the grass beneath her, so her hair and clothing were nearly drenched.

Little by little, everything was coming back to her. Every little detail that led to this position.

Except now, she seemed to be in control.

Mary finally decided to sit up, wincing slightly at the pain her body fully awoke to.

She ran a hand through her messy, matted hair, getting rid of any grass or dirt that had stuck to it.

As she scanned her surroundings, she noticed she was in a forestry landscape, with a familiar cabin a few feet away.

It slowly clicked, that this was the same place the portal had first opened, where she and Lucifer had fallen through in the first place.

... Lucifer?

For all that had just happened, he sure was quiet.

Despite the inactivity, she could still sense him inside her.

It must be a part of that... Bond.

Soon, Mary was able to stand, but was even more sore than before as she did so.

Sleeping on the ground is not fun.

She could see that it had to be early dawn, it was foggy and cloudy at the same time, but she could see the light blue color of the sky above.

An image she missed.

'Lucifer?' She said inwardly, wondering if she could communicate with him still, despite his silence.

No answer.

Mary sighed, 'Guess not.'

She took another glance around the forest, trying to remember how she had first gotten here, where she had met Kelly.

The cabin and everything around looked to be long abandoned.

After a while, she finally decided to just take a random direction through the forest.

Every now and again, she would try once more to get in contact with Lucifer, but he was being silent, and she knew, something was going on.

The Lucifer she knew never kept his mouth shut for long.

A few hours passed, and Mary had miraculously chosen the right path.

She was now walking down a never-ending road, but out in the middle of nowhere.

The last sign she had seen gave her names of a few towns, but they were hundreds of miles out still.

By now, her clothes had somewhat dried, thanks to the fully risen sun, but her feet were killing her, again.

She had given up on trying to 'wake up' Lucifer about an hour ago. She wasn't sure what was going on with him, but then again, she wasn't sure why she even cared.

After about another hour, just when she felt her feet were going to give out, she heard the sound of a vehicle coming towards her.

The first vehicle she'd seen since she first found the road.

It slowed down next to her, driving slowly at her pace, the window slowly rolling down.

"You need a ride, Miss?" A gruff, middle-aged man asked from within the truck.

"I don't have money, if that's what you're asking in return." Mary said.

"I didn't ask if you had money, I asked if you wanted a ride. There's a town ahead, but not for quite a few miles. I can give you a lift there." The man said.

Mary stared at him with uncertainty, despite how much her sore feet begged her to accept.

However, just when she was about to-

'Don't do it.' A familiar voice suddenly snapped within her.

Mary visibly jumped at the unexpected voice, but seemed to let out a sigh of relief at his voice, before a confused expression formed, "Why?"

"Why? Is it that bad for someone to offer a lady a ride to get her off the streets?" The man in the truck spoke up, of course, hearing her speak.

'Come on. Look at him. You think he wants to just give you a ride? I can see inside his soul, he wants to give you something alright.' Lucifer said.

Mary listened to his words, then focused back on the man.

As if to prove his point, she could literally see that Look in his eyes.

"No. I'm fine. I, uh, I can walk for a bit longer." Mary finally spoke back to the man.

The man was silent for a few minutes, and for a split second, Mary felt prepared for an oncoming forced escape.

Finally, he just shook his head, "Whatever. Have fun dying out here." He said, before speedinng off without another word.

Mary watched after him, a small part of her regretting declining his offer.

'Heh. Does he know who I am?' Lucifer spoke up.

Mary then returned her focus on the voice inside her, "Technically, he did just see a stranded woman walking down the road in the middle of nowhere... Where were you anyway? I've been trying to contact you for hours."

'I've been here this whole time.' Lucifer said.

"Then why have't you answered? I could have used your help, can you at least teleport us now?" Mary asked.

She could hear Lucifer sigh, 'I was just out a little longer than you were... Hold on...'

Mary waited for a full 3 minutes in silence, glancing around her, waiting for the views to chane.

'Damn it.' Lucifer finally spoke.

"... What?" Mary asked.

'I don't know. It's like my grace is drained again. It's there, I can feel it, but I can't...-" He sighed annoyed.

"Drained? But you were doing just fine Over There? You... You were like a Lucifer 2.0. What-"

'I'm just as confused as you are! Just... Keep going. Any idea where we are at the moment?' Lucifer asked.

Mary sighed "The last sign I saw, the towns indicate that we're somewhere in Colorado."

'Damn it. Well, we're not in Kansas anymore.' Lucifer sighed.

"Very funny." Mary scoffed, and continued walking.

'This was not how I intended to spend my time with you.' Lucifer muttered.

Mary rolled her eyes, "Same here."

With that, it went silent between them again, as Mary continued to follow the trail of the never-ending backroads.

Boulder: 110 miles

A/N: Well, there you have it! The beginning to yet another journey! This chapter was short, I know, but... I'm hoping and thinking that this story might be a little longer than the first one! Considering a lot of this is going to later be molded in with the Season.

Hope you enjoyed this so far!
