WARNING for torture and gore

"Hey, Sam," Lucifer mused, picking blood and flesh out of his fingernails. "I've been feeling generous of late. Michael isn't his old self anymore and, honestly, torturing both you and your brother? Not my thing. I'm more of a 'one-girl-at-a-time' person, you know?"

Sam sighed wearily and let his eyes slip closed, slumping to the side. Before he could hit the floor, however, Lucifer grabbed his shoulder and hauled him upright again, digging his nails into the flesh of Sam's shoulder.

"Ah, ah, can't be having that now. I need you listening; this is very important Sam." Lucifer frowned in concentration, then clicked his fingers. Sam and Adam were both immediately suspended from the bars of the Cage, their wounds knitting closed. He nodded in satisfaction and grinned wickedly. "Now that I have your attention."

Lucifer strolled over to Sam and stroked a finger down his face. Sam cringed away from the freezing touch, but Lucifer tutted and backhanded him, before resuming the action. "Do you remember when Dean told you about the deal Alastair offered him in Hell?" he crooned softly, making sure Adam couldn't hear. "I'm prepared to offer you that same deal. But Luci, you cry, there aren't any souls down here for me to torture. Well, that's where you're wrong." He grinned and stabbed a finger at Adam. "You get off the rack and go torture him. Whaddya say, Sammy?"

Sam glared at Lucifer. "No."

Lucifer sighed in disappointment. "Isn't that word getting kind of old now? How 'bout we change it up a bit, I mean, it worked so well for you last time, right?"

"No."

Lucifer pouted and punched through Sam's chest. Sam gasped as he felt cold fingers feeling their way to his heart as Lucifer leaned in closely, his breath tickling Sam's ear. "Always the hero, right Sam?" he whispered. "Let's see what little brother has to say."

The hand was yanked free and Sam heaved in rattling breaths, his chest already beginning to heal. He couldn't hear anything that was being said, but saw Adam's wide, terrified eyes and felt a twinge of sympathy for the kid. He should never have been dragged into this life, and it was all Sam's fault that he was stuck down here.

Lucifer laughed suddenly, and Sam immediately knew what Adam's decision had been. He didn't blame the kid, really, he didn't. Adam had suffered enough already, and it wasn't fair that he should endure more. The voice in the back of his mind screamed for attention, saying that hadn't he suffered too, but Sam pushed it down. He deserved this. Adam didn't.

Sam heard Lucifer snap his fingers again, then the thump of a body hitting the floor. Lucifer was practically dancing as he made his way back to Sam, cackling loudly.

"You hear that, Sam?" he laughed. "Little brother took the deal! Kid's got some spunk after all."

Adam emerged in Sam's periphery, his head bowed guiltily.

"Adam," Sam called softly. Adam looked up hesitantly, unable to meet Sam's gaze, his eyes glimmering with tears. "Adam, it's alright. It's alright."

Lucifer sighed impatiently and thrust a wicked looking blade into Adam's hand. "Alright kid, it's your time to shine. Show me what you've got."

Adam shuffled until he was directly in front of Sam. He raised the blade so that the tip just barely touched Sam's navel. "Sam, I'm sorry," he rasped out, then plunged the knife in, carving lines along Sam's flesh randomly. It was clumsy and it was messy, but it hurt like Hell, and it seemed to entertain Lucifer.

The archangel laughed wildly and danced around the two of them, offering advice to Adam occasionally.

"Right there, that'll really make him scream."

"Oh, oh, go for the fingertips, they're really sensitive."

"Come on, kiddo, don't hold back."

The centuries went on and so did the torture. Under Lucifer's tutelage Adam grew better and began to start enjoying the torture. After so many years that Sam had stopped counting, Adam's bright blue eyes bled into black.

Dean only asked about Adam once. It was a hesitant question, and Sam didn't say much in reply, just shrugged and said he never saw him much.

"He was Michael's property," he lied. "Lucifer didn't care about him."

A part of Sam wondered why he protected Adam after all he did - after all he became - but Dean's anger would be for nothing. Besides, it was all years in the past, so Sam should really be over it by now. And he is. Absolutely.

As for why he wakes up in cold sweats during the early hours of the night, seeing cold blue eyes that blink into obsidian, well. That's his problem to deal with.

A/N: Hope you liked that! The prompt was from the OhSam comment meme over on LiveJournal and it read as follows:

'In the cage, Lucifer offered Sam and Adam the same deal Alistair offered Dean: he'll stop torturing them if they torture each other. Sam doesn't take it. Adam does.
Bonus points if you include Sam dealing with his feelings about Adam once he got out: anger, fear, forgiveness, regret, compassion etc'
