Everyone gathered round and listened to Lucifer's shocking news. Anael stayed by Lucifer's side as he shared the news her presence was enough to keep him grounded and stop him from leaving the Bunker to find his son.

"It's a trap." Cas says. "After what happened? Do you really think he would want to see you?"

Lucifer hesitated. He really wanted to believe what his son said is true. The chances of it being the truth is extremely low. Jack didn't love him he hated him the nephilim wanted to kill him. Lucifer didn't blame him but the Devil couldn't help but wonder what if those words are true? what if Jack wanted to make amends with his father? Could the Devil be forgiven for his sins?

No chance.

Lucifer sighs sadly. He refused to let his true emotions show so he shrugs and replies.

"Hmm probably wants to finish what he started he is very keen to..." He clears his throat. "...Get me out of the picture. In all the ways to get my attention a prayer seriously? Does he think I'm stupid? I know a liar when I see one. That whole oh I wanna talk Dad it's a lie a big fat lie. It's never a simple talk not when I'm involved it's usually ends up with me being stabbed in the back or left behind like I'm nothing!"

Lucifer takes a deep breath when Anael's hand goes on his arm. Her intense gaze caused him to calm down.

So much for hiding my emotions.

He sighs.

The damm fucking Empty!

"So yeah." Lucifer forced a smile. "I'm not going anywhere."

"What a shame." Rowena muttered under her breath.

Lucifer smirks in her direction. The witch keeps her focus on the tracking spell.

"Anything?" Mary asks.

"No and no." Rowena lifts her head. "The kid knows how to cover his tracks...I'm sorry." She quickly added when she saw their disappointed faces. "I tried everything! I did every spell under the bloody sun! It's no use."

"It seems our only lead is the prayer." Anael says. "It's possible it is a trap but..." She smiles. "We can take advantage of it."

"Lucifer could be the bait." Mary nods. "When the time is right Rowena can trap them and do the spell."

"We would need Michael." Sam became worried. "Dean." He shakes his head. "I'm not putting Dean in danger."

"Sam." His mom replied. "None of us want this but if it could save Jack if it could bring Dean back to us then I say we should do it."

"That involves trusting Lucifer." Sam says.

"I told you many times I am not here to hurt Jack." Lucifer says.

"We just want all this to be over." Anael says. "We have other matters to attend too."

"Like what?" Sam asks.

The Devil and the angel share a look. A silent communication passed between them.

"We're going to help Michael." Anael replied.

"What?" Sam's eyes widen. "Are you insane?"

"Not in that way." Anael shakes her head. "We're not going to destroy the world. We are going to heal him."

"There is nothing physically wrong with him." Cas says.

"Jo leave it."

"No Lucifer." Anael folds her arms. "I'm not. For this to work we have all got to be on the same page right? From my observations I believe Michael is slowly coming back to us. Without his grace and powers it's given him time to reflect. The Empty has taught him a lesson as well. Being Dean again it's reminded him of who he is. He is not a villain, he is not a monster like Jack he has gone on a dark path. You guys have all gone dark in your lives but you have always bounced back you always found the light. I believe Michael, Lucifer." Lucifer straightened up at his name. "They can find that light too. For that to happen you need to believe in them. This plan to save Jack I say go for it give Lucifer a chance to prove himself."

Lucifer couldn't help but smile at his sister. It felt so good to have someone who believed in him. The others still looked skeptical.

"What about Michael?" Sam said with disbelief.

"You're looking for Jack?"

Everyone looks round. Michael steps into the War room.

"My monster." Michael says. "Let me talk to him."

"You really think we will let you do that." Sam glared.

"I can get information out of him." Michael replied. "He might not open up to you but he would open up to me. This will give an insight into what's going on and if Jack is leading the monsters."

"You going to plan an escape plan as well?" Cas said his voice bitter.

"This is exactly what I'm talking about." Anael glared at him.

Cas shakes his head. He couldn't fully trust the former archangel especially when it came to Jack.

"You really think this will work?" Mary asks. "We will find Jack?"

Everyone frowns at the huntress. Mary didn't care what the others thought she is willing to explore every option. They have teamed up with the enemy before this is one of those times where they would have to do it again. If Michael is willing to help then Mary will take it she might not like him but he is useful.

Michael shifts his gaze on to her. He then shrugs.

"We don't know if we don't try right?"

"You can't just walk in and talk to him." Cas says.

"We need a believable cover story." Mary says.

"How's your acting Mikey?" Lucifer asks.

"My...acting?"

"Can you be your vessel?"

Michael snorted.

"Course." He folds his arms. "100%." He raises his eyebrow. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking brother?"

"Maybe." Lucifer grins. "Jerk."

A knowing smile appears on Michael's lips.

"Bitch."

Sam cringed at the interaction. Then he shouldn't be surprised Lucifer knows this he has been in his head...literally.

"Well would you look at that." Anael nods. "You both finally agreed on something."

"It's for Jack." Both the Devil and the former archangel replied. "Don't get excited Jo he still has a long way to go." Lucifer added with a sigh.

"Same goes to you." Michael says.

"Me? Ha no I'm good as gold." Lucifer beamed.

"I guess we'll see." Michael grinned.

The former archangel and the younger Winchester walk off. Lucifer puts his hands on his hips.

"You see what he just did." He says.

"No." Cas replied.

"He's challenging me." Lucifer chuckles. "He thinks I can't be the hero but guess what I can. Blondie." He turns to the huntress. "Admit it I been a Saint."

"You have been useful."

"I'm an archangel not a tool." Lucifer rolls his eyes. "I'm just saying who do you think is going to be the golden boy at the end me or him."

Mary frowns.

"Are we really discussing this?"

"I want an answer." Lucifer grins. "Call it more a bet who you betting on?"

"I'll bet with my fist if you don't shut up." Mary glared.

"Save that for Michael I'm sure he would love Mama Winchester hitting on him." Lucifer smirked.

"While he wears her son." Anael does a 'yuck face' "Gross."

"My sister has a dirty mind." Lucifer smirked.

Anael rolls her eyes.

Cas also rolls his eyes and sighs heavily. He has seriously had it with his angelic family.

I decided to post what I have written so far because I have a mild fever (Not Covid) so I don't feel good at the moment to do any writing. I'm sorry about that. :(
