chapter 1 :

Chloe and her partner returned to the precinct after finishing up a case. Chloe says "I'm not looking forward to the paperwork on all the events of this case." She sighs, she knew her partner hated paperwork more then she did, so she knew that she was not going to be able to count on any help from him on that front.

"I know, detective but there is something I wanted to talk to you about for a while now," Lucifer responded before he lost his courage. Lucifer had been looking nervous for a couple of days now

"Okay." Chloe looked nervous at her partner. She had seen how nervous he was the last few days. Did he miss his life before they were a couple?

"In private, detective," Lucifer whispered in her ear.

Chloe nodded before they both headed towards the evidence closet to put the evidence away.

"So what's wrong, Lucifer? Why have you been so nervous the last couple of days?" Chloe became more worried when he just sighed.

"Detective..., Chloe, I wanted to ask you something important." Lucifer started, "Would you want to move in with me, you can bring the urchin as well if you like."

"Do you have room for Trixie?" Chloe couldn't contain her happiness about Lucifer's proposal, she just wanted to be sure that he had a room for her daughter.

"I have a spare room in the penthouse for her, She can decorate it the way she wants it. So what do you say?" Lucifer would never admit it but he grew fond of his detective's offspring.

Chloe smiled brightly, "Yes, Lucifer we would love to move in with you."

Before the devil could react to her answer, she leaped forward and kissed him. She let him feel just how happy he made her.

Her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. They looked in each other's eyes when they needed a breather but they couldn't help themselves, their lips touched again, this time even hungrier than before.

He held her close to him as he leaned her up against the wall, the kisses grew more heated and frantic. He lifted her from the floor, her back still against the wall, her legs crossed around his hips.

Lucifer deepened the kiss and she answered his kiss with so much heat that it would burn the devil if it could. Just before things could progress further Chloe's phone rang. This sound made the devil groan, "Don't answer it, love." he whispered heatedly in her ear.

She looked at who the caller was, "I am sorry, Lucifer. I need to take this call." Lucifer groans again while starting to kiss her neck. This made Chloe giggle.

She swallows, "Decker!" She said in her serious tone of voice while Lucifer kept kissing her neckline. The detective smacked her devil and shushed him.

The caller was Dan, "We found another body, Chloe."

"Okay, Where?" Chloe asks but she didn't risk looking at how hot her devil looked right now.

"It's a Zookeeper. I will send you the address." Dan said on the other side of the phone. Telling him that she and Trixie were going to be moving in with Lucifer and living above the nightclub was going to be an unpleasant conversation. She didn't look forward to it, but she knew she had to since he was Trixie's father he did get a say in the matter. She also knew this was an in-person conversation.

Chloe sighs, "We have another case, Lucifer. This time in the Los Angeles Zoo."

"Bloody Hell, love. Not another zoo." Lucifer groaned, it made him think about the time when his brother had kidnapped Chloe and had locked her up in a cage of an abandoned zoo.

"At least this one isn't abandoned," Chloe said as she looked at her partner. Shivers ran down her spine when she thought about Lucifer's twin.

Lucifer saw the pain in Chloe's eyes at the memory of that day, "Not to worry, love he's not getting near you ever again."

"What has your Dad done to him?" Chloe asks curiously, she wanted to know if he could ever come back for her.

"I don't know, love. It's not like Dad told me." Lucifer groaned, "But whether we see him again or not. I won't let him near you. He tries anything he'll get more than a scar across his face." Lucifer's eyes flashed red for a second. This still made him angry.

"I know you will babe." Chloe caressed Lucifer's face trying to calm him down again, "Now let's get this case over with so we can get back to what we were doing."

"That my dear detective is a good plan." Lucifer smiled allowing Chloe to get her clothes straight before they walked to her cruizer to drive towards the location of the crime scene.

Once there it didn't take too long to have Dan find them and fill them in.

Ella was already taking pictures of the body that was found in front of the shed with a big metal door slightly ajar, the shed was located between the Lion enclosure and where the monkeys lived. The lions had been moved to the inside part of their enclosure for the safety of both the cops and the animals themselves.

"What happened here? What do you have?"Chloe asks the happy forensic examiner.

"The poor bugger just did his job and never saw it coming. One moment you're preparing to feed the attractions the next moment someone slips piano wire around your neck." Lucifer says before Ella could answer Chloe's question.

"That right, Luce, the wire is still around his neck. Whoever did this must have been rather strong, cause this was not a small or light man," says Ella as she takes a few more pictures.

Lucifer recognized a wire from a piano anywhere. Suddenly he felt a celestial presence behind him. He looked around and saw a large lion looking at him.

The devil rolled his eyes at this, "what could he possibly want with me?"

He didn't have the best relationship with his half-brother, nor did he ever speak to him much either, but he recognized the Lion form anywhere. He walked towards the large animal with peaceful eyes.

"What in Dad's name are you doing here, brother?" Lucifer asks, his tone was a bit hurt because of all his brothers this one in particular never sought him out.

"Dad asked me to come here, Samael. I am sending someone in great need into your path. In helping this person you can help yourself." Aslan says as gentle as always. There was only one detail his Dad didn't tell him and that was to never ever call Lucifer with his old name.

"First of all, never call me that again!" Lucifer growled with a flash of red eyes as a warning, "It's Lucifer now. Secondly, at least you give me a heads up," Lucifer says, he didn't forget everything that had happened when he found out that Chloe was put in his path by his Father. "Thirdly Why me? Some siblings are better for that job."

"You are the only one here on earth that could truly help her. She is in need, in danger of losing her way, and only you can truly understand what she is going through. You can help her in a way none of the others can."

Lucifer raises an eyebrow at this then says "I'm afraid you came to the wrong angel. I don't help people go in that direction."

Aslan growls at the snark in the devil's tone.

"It will not be up to you alone, one will come along to help you with her, if all goes right you will all have a second chance. The two of them together here, and you with father." Aslan said his voice gently again. He knew his brother had a nasty temper when it came to his family in The Silver City.

"Yeah right, Dad is never going to give me a second chance but fine I will help her." Lucifer sighed if only to prove him wrong."

"You must keep her away from your brother, for while his power will not work on those with my blessings upon them, much damage can still be done," Aslan warned Lucifer, "Michael will try to harm them, Lucifer. For they will be immune to his power. He could keep her from ever reaching my country, where her family awaits her. Redemption is possible but will need to be worked towards for all."

"Will they trust me?" Lucifer asked curiously.

"If you mention they are here, by Aslan's will, then they should," Aslan says in a gentle but firm tone of voice.

Chloe rolls her eyes when she looks for Lucifer and sees him chatting with a lion. She doesn't know what he was doing and doesn't care, knowing who he is, he couldn't get hurt anyway. She was more worried for the lion if he were to bite Lucifer, he would end up with broken teeth.

Lucifer says to the lion, "so you're going by Aslan this time. Fine, I'll play along. Can you tell me just when to expect these visitors?"

Just then a rumble comes from the overcast skies above. The winds suddenly start to kick up briskly. There is a sudden bright flash of light, and then Lucifer hears a tremendously loud cracking sound, just as a zoo employee that Chloe was interviewing pushes her out of the way, as a massive bolt of lightning strikes one of the power poles nearby. An electric line breaks from its moorings on the pole and swings right past the spot she and the man had just been standing and hitting the metal door of the supply shed. The surge of power caused a big explosion and knocked the door off the hinges and back into the shed.

"Bloody hell, Aslan watch out for my girlfriend will you," Lucifer growled but when he looked back Aslan was gone,

"Fine, don't stick around to give other instructions," Lucifer muttered to the empty space Aslan had just been, as rolled his eyes, knowing his brother heard him regardless. Before running towards his girlfriend.

"Are you alright, love?" Lucifer asks worriedly.

"I didn't know you spoke lion." Chloe quipped trying to calm him down again, "Since when are you a Dr. Doolittle?"

"I'm not and I don't, but it wasn't a real lion, one of my many brothers, he sometimes appears as a lion." Lucifer sighed seeing his detective was alright.

"Jezus Christ, which brother is it this time." Chloe groaned.

"Exactly, detective! But for this favor, he wants to be called Aslan." Lucifer says with a sigh.

"Which favor?" Chloe asks Lucifer, "He said he was sending someone into my path who was in need of help only I could give."

They walk towards the shed, weary of the still live wire hanging there, and see the door blown in, and discover an unconscious young woman there, among the mess the shed had become. "I think she has to do with it," Lucifer said
