The Beginning of Time
The Goddess of Creation, currently known as Charlotte Richards, was pissed. She was pissed that a stupid human was keeping her from going home. Lucifer was the key to her getting home. Well, Lucifer and the Flaming Sword. Unfortunately, Lucifer refused to leave because of the human, Chloe Decker. For some reason Charlotte couldn't comprehend, the insignificant human mattered to her son. He wouldn't leave while she was still in the picture.
Charlotte needed to get home, and not just because she hated Earth and humanity. Her divinity was slowly killing her human host. The body wouldn't be able to hold her much longer. Unfortunately, Chloe Decker presented a huge problem. Charlotte had tried once already to get rid of her. She planted a bomb and planned to blow her up. Unfortunately, Amenadiel stopped her. True, she still could have killed the human, even with Amenadiel's interference, but her son had made a valid point. Lucifer would hate her if he found out she'd killed his human. He wouldn't be inclined to help her in the slightest. That presented her with a problem, though. She still needed to get home and the woman was in the way. Amenadiel had suggested they make Lucifer want to leave Chloe Decker, but that would take too much time. She didn't have the time to just hope they could convince him. She had planned to use the fact that her husband created Chloe Decker for Lucifer to get him to turn away from her, but she was afraid that that would backfire. She couldn't afford that.
Charlotte decided that getting rid of Chloe Decker was the best way to get what she wanted, but she couldn't kill her. That kind of limited her options. She was the Goddess of all Creation though, so she knew there had to be away. She could take care of an insignificant human without killing her, couldn't she?
A plan began to formulate in Charlotte's mind. She couldn't kill Chloe Decker, but she could make her disappear. If she could do that, perhaps she could convince Lucifer that Chloe Decker left him of her own free will. Surely that would convince him to leave Earth. Of course, she had to get the human far away from Earth. That was the only way she could be sure the woman wouldn't come back. She knew a way to do that, but she wasn't sure she had enough divinity in her body to get it done. Even if she did, she worried it would make her situation even worse. The more divinity she used, the quicker destroyed her body. She didn't see any other options though. She had to try. Getting rid of Chloe Decker was key to getting what she wanted. One way or another, she had to make it happen.
With a plan in mind, Charlotte set out to find the detective. There was no time to waste, so she might as well do this now.

Chloe pulled into the driveway in front of her apartment and got out of the car. She had just dropped Trixie off with Dan. She loved her daughter, but she was looking forward to a weekend by herself.
As she started walking towards her apartment, Chloe saw Charlotte Richards standing by the door. She wasn't sure why the woman was there. There was no reason Chloe could come up with for Charlotte to want to speak to her. "Charlotte? What are you doing here?"
"You know, you're like a fly that just won't go away," Charlotte said in an irritating tone.
"Excuse me?" Chloe asked, taken aback by the woman's bluntness.
"I don't know why my son is so taken with you. You're nothing but a stupid human and an uninteresting one at that," she said.
"Okay, I don't know what your problem is, but I think you should leave," Chloe said in her cop voice. Clearly, this woman had shown up to cause nothing but trouble. She didn't know what she had done to offend Charlotte, but she didn't care either. She wanted her gone. She already didn't like the woman for defending the man who killed her father.
"I don't think so, Detective. I won't be leaving until you're no longer a thorn in my side. Clearly the only way to free my son is to get rid of you," Charlotte said.
"Is that a threat? Are you threatening a cop?" Chloe asked. She didn't know what the hell Charlotte was talking about. She didn't know what son the woman was on about. However, none of that mattered. Charlotte had just threatened her. That was all that mattered.
"No. I have no need to threaten you, Detective. I am simply stating a fact. Getting rid of you would free my son's mind. So that's what I'll do," Charlotte said before raising her hand.
Chloe immediately moved her hand to her gun, but she never had the chance to draw it. Her hand barely touched the metal weapon before she was assaulted by a bright light. It was so bright that she thought it might blind her. It seemed to last forever.
When the light finally subsided and Chloe opened her eyes again, she found that she was no longer at her house. In fact, she couldn't tell where she was. There was nothing around that she recognized. Actually, there wasn't really anything around at all. There seemed to be nothing but land wherever she looked. It seemed to go on for miles, at least.
"What the hell? Charlotte!" Chloe called out. Where the hell had Charlotte gone? And where the hell was she? How had her location changed in a matter of seconds? Unless it hadn't been seconds. Maybe that bright light had made her lose consciousness. Still, that didn't explain where she was or how she got there.
Chloe received no answer when she yelled out. That wasn't that surprising, since she didn't see anyone around anywhere. Wherever she was, it seemed completely vacant of human life.
Chloe started walking, not knowing what else to do. She yelled out a few more times as she walked, but as expected, no one answered. She must have walked for at least an hour, but she didn't feel like she got anywhere. Her environment looked exactly the same no matter how far she worked. "Where the hell am I?"
Chloe finally remembered that her phone was still in her pocket. She didn't know why she hadn't thought about that before, probably shock. She immediately took it out and went to try to make a call, but she had no service. "Damn it! I guess it's not surprising though. I don't see any towers anywhere."
"Who are you?" A voice asked from behind Chloe.
Chloe sighed in relief as she turned around. She was starting to worry she'd never find another living person. She turned to see two people behind her, a man and a woman. She recognized the man as being Amenadiel. "Amenadiel, I'm really glad to see you. Where the hell are we?"
"How do you know my name and how did you get here?" Amenadiel asked with suspicion laced in his voice.
"Amenadiel, it's Chloe. What's going on?" Chloe asked as she started walking towards them.
The woman got into a defensive position and held a sword at Chloe. "don't take another step. Tell us who you are."
Amenadiel, however, didn't give the being time to answer. He didn't trust her. This being knew his name, but he didn't know who or what she was. All he knew was that she had somehow found her way to his father's new and inhabitable planet. Until he found out what she was and if she was a danger, he had to keep her subdued. So he slowed down time until he could figure that out.
