Lincoln may get some demonic powers at some point but nothing comparable to cloning himself.
Lincoln woke up the next morning to find himself in the fancy hotel suite and sighed upon realising that either he was still asleep in this nightmare or he really was stuck in Hell. He thought that he had better get on with the day since there was no use in trying to pretend that he wasn't stuck here while staying in the bedroom. He got to the door and blinked as there was a cheerful redheaded Cyclops demon woman in a white and red dress who went in pushing in a trolley filled with cleaning products.
"Morning Lincoln and sorry about that, Niffty is a newer staff member and I hope she didn't freak you out." Charlie said greeting him and he just smiled as he looked up at her while he was shown to the dinner tables downstairs for breakfast.
"Actually I don't think that she looks freaky compared to other Demons that I saw on the streets yesterday and I don't suppose you serve human breakfast? Or is it like brains or something?" Lincoln asked as Charlie giggled with Vaggie coming up to join them.
"No trust me Lincoln; we serve plenty of food that humans can eat." Vaggie assured him as they had gotten to the table and then there were demons serving plates of food which Lincoln actually savoured at. He looked to Charlie and Vaggie who looked encouragingly at him as he went and tried the food which tasted good.
Lincoln between bites looked to Charlie who seemed too pure to be here in Hell despite being the ruler's daughter and had taken him in when she really didn't need to. She seemed excited about getting to meet a human and thought that the least that he could do was help her out with her curiosity.
"Charlie, yesterday you know how yesterday you were excited when you saw that I was a human? If you want I could answer questions that you have..." Lincoln told her and Vaggie looked like she was ready to tell Charlie to take a deep breath for when she bursted into excitement. Lincoln then realised something that he had his phone in his pocket and saw the songs that were downloaded on it. "If you want I have some off my music on this?" Lincoln offered and Charlie was nodding eagerly.
"Go ahead Lincoln, mornings here could use some livening up." Vaggie answered with a smile and Angel who had been focused on his own breakfast just shrugged as if he didn't care. Lincoln grinned as he then had Best Thing Ever playing with them getting into it.
For about half a minute as Lincoln then had his phone taken from him by a tall figure from behind and Lincoln turned and was open mouthed at the tall and the most imposing terrifying demon that he had seen yet since he had arrived in Hell. His skin seemed to be grey; he had black and dark red hair which seemed to resemble ears, huge dark red eyes, yellow fanged teeth looking like they were in a permanent grin and a dark red suit.
"I had heard that this place would be playing host to a human child so I was intrigued... Until just now when I heard you playing this trash. Honestly you put Mick Swagger in and it would be the perfect combination of everything that I despise in modern human music!" the demon said with his voice sounding like it was on an old radio and oddly familiar.
Lincoln trying to be brave tried to reach out for his phone when Charlie got up and pulled him back. "Lincoln, this is Alastor the Radio Demon who is a business partner here. He is an Overlord and one of THE ones you shouldn't think of crossing." Charlie warned him in a whisper as Lincoln was getting chills if the Princess of Hell was even afraid of this demon.
"A demented monster who only pitched in to help with this place because he wants to see this place fail for his own amusement." Vaggie said in a harsh glare with her and Charlie looking like they were prepared to go in front of Lincoln protectively if he went to try anything.
"You two dolls flatter me and this lad doesn't need to fear anything from me as I just want to watch the chaos of an impressionable human child stuck here in this cesspool of sin and debauchery. Speaking of debauchery, he can have his little modern toy back." Alastor said laughing as he tossed Lincoln back his phone and he ended up playing one of the radio broadcasts that he had downloaded onto it for his project. They blinked as they heard it and Alastor asked "So are you a fan since I thought you human children were into electronic handheld devices and your electronic games than listening to the radio? Surprised if you knew what one was to tell you the truth."
Lincoln chuckled nervously as he explained "actually it's kind of for a school project, making a report on an ancestor. The host of this radio show was my great-great uncle Alastor Loud and..." Lincoln then stopped as he saw the effect that his words had on them with their eyes widening and somehow Alastor's grin grew as he got over his shock the first. Lincoln's yes widened when he realised that this demon was called Alastor the Radio Demon.
Oh dear...
Lincoln then felt himself being picked up and hugged for dear life as Alastor said with great joy "while a part of me was glad that my dear beloved brother and his descendants managed to stop themselves from being forever damned to Hell, it had felt a bit lonely without family here. But now I get to have my very own great-great nephew here to visit! We have so much to talk about Lincoln dear boy now that I finally have flesh and blood here who is actual flesh and blood!"
Charlie had smiled at his direction but Vaggie still looked concerned as Lincoln was finally put down and Lincoln trying to be nice smiled up at his scary looking great-great uncle. "Nice to meet you and I have heard of you and the good that you have done... Wait, how did you end up in Hell?" Lincoln asked instantly regretting the question when he saw Alastor's grin growing larger.
"Well Lincoln, when reading about me and or listening to my broadcasts did you hear about the New Orleans Butcher?" Alastor asked and Lincoln nodded waiting for clarification but Alastor stood back as if waiting for something as there was Charlie and Vaggie looking uneasy. Angel rolled his eyes and was about to get up and tell Lincoln but Alastor motioned for him to sit down saying "Now now Angel Dust, Lincoln looks like a smart lad so I'm sure that he will figure it out on his own any second now."
Lincoln's face slowly fell to horror as he looked up to Alastor saying "You... You were the New Orleans Butcher?"
"Guilty as charged, not that I was ever in front of a courtroom." Alastor said taking a bow as Lincoln tried wrapping his head around it.
"But-but... You spotlighted the Butcher's crimes, inspired people with your speeches and interviewed the families of the victims!" Lincoln exclaimed as he saw Alastor wiping away an imaginary tear.
"Wanted to make sure that my legacy was secure and it was so much fun building up their hope so that I could crush it. I tell ya that I deserve some sort of acting award for keeping a straight face as the poor saps cried out while talking about their lost family. I tell ya Lincoln all this nostalgia that is forming within where my heart would have been, I thank you for reminding me of the good ol days back on Earth." Alastor boasted with Lincoln becoming white as a zombie as Alastor sounded so prideful.
Charlie then put her arm around Lincoln for comfort as Vaggie yelled at Alastor saying "I think you should leave Alastor, poor Lincoln is going to have some time to himself to get over finding out what monster he is related to!"
"I will take my leave... For now because there is no way in Hell if you pardon the pun that I won't be taking a special interest in looking over my great-great nephew's stay here." Alastor said going to the door as Vaggie helped Charlie in comforting him.
"I may have to redo my report now from scratch choosing someone else, how am I supposed to explain to my parents or my sisters if they ask why?" Lincoln said trying to ease the tension as Alastor stopped at the doorway and turned his head looking interested.
"I bet you could make the excuse of wanting to find someone that your class would be more interested in. You could get them to help if they are not busy, how many sisters are we talking?" Charlie asked as Lincoln wondered how they would take this.
"Ten and we all live in the same house." Lincoln answered taking them by surprise as well as Angel.
"Be prepared Lincoln to tell me about my great-great nieces as well as yourself..." Alastor said before dodging a chair being thrown at him by Vaggie. "Very well, I know where I am not wanted. It has never stopped me from going there anyway but I do know where it is." Alastor finished as he then finally left the area.
"Lincoln, I always like to see the bright side in everyone and i know it might be tempting to trust him due to being family but I would be careful if you are near Alastor. He is a trickster and you should never allow him to rope you into a deal with a handshake." Charlie told him slowly and gently but Charlie didn't need them to tell him that.
Lincoln couldn't believe he was thinking of this but he would rather at this moment spend time with Aunt Ruth than he would with great-great uncle Alastor.
Being the King of Hell was a busy job and so was running the other businesses that he owned in his own kingdom such as Lu Lu World (perhaps he should send tickets to Charlie to take Lincoln there), so when Lucifer was not at spending time with family he could more often than not be found in his office working. Or he could be torturing someone for his own amusement and he liked to do both like right now.
Plus doing both while his office TV was on like it was right now playing an episode from one of his favourite human TV shows of recent time: the Good Place. It was like someone had seen his favourite episode of the original Twilight Zone TV show A Nice Place to Visit and made a show out of it.
The idiots at IMP were pleading for their pathetic existences when he was dealing with them and afterwards he would allow them to continue making fools of themselves for their small business with the Prince's grimoire. Honestly it was beyond a joke that Blitzo never thought to use human disguises when even his own adopted daughter was aware of them.
It was pretty much a miracle they weren't more known to the humans.
Said adopted daughter along with Moxxie and Millie got off easy but the same couldn't be said for their leader who currently was moaning in pain while writing on the floor of his office. he picked up the phone while it was ringing and then he grinned as he saw it was his old best friend from Heaven who he had called yesterday asking for help with the Lincoln Loud conundrum.
"Deerie my dear, any updates on finding something to help my newest visitor?" Lucifer asked his chair turning to the left as he put his feet up on Blitzo to use as a footstool, not like he was doing anything else other than saying that he didn't think that he would be able to do his business in a bathroom ever again without feeling tremendous pain.
"Yeah... No... Sorry Luci but we are still working on it but I have dug up his file and it's kind of concerning but not in the way that he could be in danger of being one of your future subjects." Deerie answered him and Lucifer sat back asking for her to clarify while giving a kick to Blitzo to get him shut up about the fact that he couldn't feel his head.
"Well while selfish at times and can be kind of a brat, still a good kid whose not in danger of being sent to Hell if he continues on the path he is on. What's concerning is that while not really to the level that I would be comfortable to call them bad people, I would say that most of his sisters are more to the path than he is. incidents with pranks that he is lucky to have survived and speaking of luck. Well there is something we have dubbed the NSL Incident and his life in his home is so concerning that he had a Guardian Angel assigned to him who was most negligent in his duties as I have recently found out. Seriously Cletus would have been fired right now if he wasn't already fired for causing the death of a human." Deerie replied as Lucifer thought it over and asked if he could get a copy of this file.
"Sure thing and by the way do you think that we could catch up? You're still not allowed back up here but with human disguises we could have s day out together. You could bring Charlotte as well since I haven't seen her since the Antichristening. The Gang and I have been talking and we would love to go out for bowling just like old times!" Deerie said and Lucifer answered that he would be delighted before the call ended.
"If Deerie wasn't exaggerating about what was in his file about his sisters then I should bring this to Charlie's attention. Who knows this could lead to something new and Lilith has been waiting for Charlie to bring us grandchildren?" Lucifer mused putting his hand to his chin in deep thought.
"That's great but have I been punished enough? Somehow I feel my ass moving when I am trying to move my fingers... OUCH!" Blitzo complained as Lucifer answered him by intentionally kicking him in the testicular area.
Do you want me to admit something about Helluva Boss's finale? While it was good in exploring Blitzo, I am disappointed that Moxxie didn't get the chance to really call him out for his lack of respect for his and Millie's boundaries with Millie backing him up on this. Hopefully in the next season they will address this.
