It didn't take Lucifer long to realize that the weather patterns were abnormal. When the storms began, he hadn't thought much of it, despite the fact that there was no indication of a storm in the media. Humans often got the weather wrong. However, the storms were strong and had been going on for hours. There bouts of earthquakes kept hitting. That raised Lucifer's suspicions. Earthquakes were far from uncommon in California, but combined with the strange storms, it raised eyebrows, at least to those who knew enough. Then Lucifer discovered that it wasn't just happening in California. It was occurring throughout the planet. That sealed it. This was not typical weather patterns. This was his father. There wasn't any other explanation.
Lucifer couldn't deny being unsettled. In the eons that he'd been alive, he had never seen this sort of thing. He'd heard his mother had done quite a bit of damage with the floods to destroy humanity, but even that hadn't gone this far. And Lucifer knew it wasn't her because she wasn't even on the same plane of existence. To do this, his father had to either be trying to destroy the world or so angry that he couldn't control himself enough to stop. Lucifer had never seen his father that angry, and given that he led a rebellion against the old man, one should be able to guess how disconcerting that was.
Lucifer had to wonder what had his father so angry. If his rebellion couldn't create this level of rage, what could? Unless he was doing it on purpose, but Lucifer doubted that. Why would his father suddenly decide to create natural disasters that could destroy his creations?
Lucifer soon heard the ding of the elevator. He turned to see the detective coming in. "Detective, what are you doing here? You shouldn't be traveling in these conditions."
"I waited for the earthquakes to stop. At least I hope they've stopped," Chloe said. Normally, she still wouldn't risk driving in this kind of weather, but she was concerned. This did not seem normal. "This is happening everywhere. This doesn't seem natural."
"It's not. This is the result of my father's rage. Nothing else could cause this except for him. I'm not sure what could make him this angry though.
Chloe could think of one thing. If God had learned the truth about what happened to Lucifer with Adam and Eve, it might lead to something like this. She knew if anyone hurt Trixie like that, and Chloe had God's level of power, her rage would destroy anything in her path. "Could he have found out what Adam and Eve did to you?"
Lucifer looked away uncomfortably. He hoped not. He didn't want his father to know at this point. Too many already knew for his liking. He didn't imagine what happened to him could've caused his father's rage. "He could if he were paying attention, but I doubt he'd care."
Chloe sighed sadly at Lucifer's words. He thought his father felt so little for him that he didn't think his father would care about what happened to him. She hoped that wasn't true. She didn't want to believe that God was such a dick that he wouldn't care that his own son had been through something so terrible. She didn't want that for Lucifer either.
Soon, a young woman appeared directly behind Lucifer, her wings still out from flying. "Lucifer, I'm freaking out!"
"Holy crap!" Chloe exclaimed startled. She was not expecting an angel to just suddenly show up in front of her.
Lucifer turned to the newcomer and gave her an annoyed look. "Bloody Hell, Azrael! You can't just fly in wherever you like! You should at least have kept your invisibility up until you knew no humans were around. You're bloody lucky the detective here already knows."
"I don't think it really matters at this point. You may not have noticed, but Dad's on a freaking rampage!" Azrael said.
"This is your sister, Lucifer?" Chloe asked.
"Yes, this is Azrael. Azrael, meet Chloe Decker," Lucifer said.
"Nice to meet you. I wish I had more time to get to know you, but we've got an end of the world type of situation here," Azrael said.
"I think you're being a bit overdramatic, Azrael," Lucifer said.
Azrael gave him a look. "Really? Have you ever seen Dad this pissed? Because I haven't. You didn't piss him off this much. Hell, Mom didn't piss him off this much."
"Well, have you any idea why this is happening?" he asked.
"Not really. When I realized what was happening, I went to the Silver City. Everyone is frantic, by the way. Anyway, I spoke with Gabriel. He didn't know much, but he said it started after Dad took a meeting with Michael and Amenadiel," Azrael explained.
"Amenadiel?" Lucifer asked surprised. He hadn't been aware that Amenadiel had gone back to the Silver City. The last he heard, Amenadiel had decided to stay on Earth.
"Yeah. Gabriel also said that the minds of every soul in the Silver City are going to be checked for sociopathic behavior. I guess Dad's worried souls have gotten in that shouldn't," she said.
Lucifer stiffened. If that was the case his father was going to find out about him. His siblings as well. They would get to Adam's soul eventually, and they'd see what he'd done to Lucifer. Lucifer didn't want any of them to know. Granted, he probably wouldn't have to see them anytime soon, aside from Amenadiel, but he still didn't want them to know.
"Shouldn't it have been like that anyway?" Chloe asked. Lucifer had told her after he told her what happened to him that Adam was in Heaven, and she knew Eve had been before she came back. It disgusted her. Those two belonged in Hell if anybody did.
Azrael shrugged. "Everyone just assumed that human guilt would see that anyone who deserved it ended up in hell. Dad's always been about Free Will, even in death."
Lucifer snorted. "For humans maybe."
"Anyway, I guess Dad must have gotten wind of a soul in Heaven that doesn't belong. I don't understand how that could make him this angry though. This seemed kind of low on the list of things that might bring out God's wrath. A lot of worse things had happened that didn't bring out this kind of anger in her father.
The Earth began to shake at that point again.
Lucifer immediately took the detective into his arms to protect her from the earthquake if necessary. He then looked up at the ceiling with an annoyed look on his face. "Alright, Father, we get the point! You're pissed off!"
"This is getting really freaky, Lu! I can't think of anything that could make Dad this pissed. The worst anger I've seen from him was when Mom started killing humans to make a point to him. What in the universe could be worse than that?" Azrael said. Honestly, she wasn't sure she wanted to know because it had to be really bad, but she had a feeling she was going to find out whether she wanted to know or not.
Chloe wondered yet again if maybe God did know about Lucifer. If he'd found out that there was a rapist in his home, it might explain why he began scanning every soul. It would definitely explain the literal earth moving rage. No parent would take it calmly after finding out his kid was sexually abused
"Is Amenadiel still in the Silver City?" Lucifer asked.
"Not that I know of," Azrael said.
"I'm going to call for him," Lucifer said before sending out a quick prayer, knowing it was the fastest way to reach his brother. A good ten minutes later, and there was no sign of him. "Bloody hell, Amenadiel. Answer!"
A large thunder bolt was heard from outside and the lights began to flicker.
"Oh, Dad, come on," Azrael said.
"It's going to get much worse," a voice suddenly said.
Lucifer turned towards the balcony only to find a carbon copy of himself standing by it. "Michael."
