A/N, thanks to all of you for the continued support, would love to hear some comments
The silence was broken by the ding of the elevator, then the family poured out ready to help. A frantic whirlwind ensued, Sister Emma just braced herself for what was to come but somehow nothing bad had happened. The short blond Doctor had somehow managed to pull the Demon to another room and out of stabbing distance and the rest of the group seemed to be ignoring her for now, she had pressed herself into a corner. She watched as Lucifer for no better word held court and explained to his family what had happened and what he knew, he waved vaguely in her general direction, then she felt it, all eyes were upon her, Emma's judgement was about to begin, she hoped to the Devil, she had a good defense.
"I'll rip her arms off!" A shout from another room broke the silence,
"Maze!" A stern voice followed, followed by some muffled swearing, then there was silence again.
Sister Emma took a deep breath and moved forward out of the corner she was trying to hide in, she saw the looks in the eyes of her supposed enemies and felt nothing but shame, shame from not stepping forward before it had gotton to this, shame for what the 'Group' had done, but mostly shame for allowing a young girl to be ripped away from her family, and a family was what it was, celestial or not, it was still a family and she had played a part in harming them all, "I'm so sorry for my actions in this, we never considered, I… Never considered what we were doing was wrong, it was meant to be for the greater good but I knew deep done our recent actions were wrong and it took me too long to see that and for that I am truly sorry!" A few tears had slipped from her eyes but she didn't care.
Lucifer just sat there and stared at her and he really did stare at her as if down to her very soul, she shivered under the gaze, Lucifer closed his eyes, "I believe you, I believed you earlier when you came to me, I know the plan the others have laid out truly went against what you stand for and believe in but now you are going to tell us everything you know!" Lucifer just sat there, his words were ice cold and represented ancient nay eternal rage, Emma could feel the power that lay behind them, he had given her his word that 'HE' wouldn't harm her but at the same time had said if others did, he would not stop them.
Emma could see Ella, she knew where she stood with that woman but looking at Detective Chloe Decker, she had no clue, yeah she was a cop, so would she uphold the law? She wasn't so sure, not when her people had taken and intended harm to her family, she was a wild card. Then there was the Demon, somehow being contained by Doctor Martin. The group had files on all these people but somehow had never really seemed to understand any of them other than, 'they were with the Devil' so must be evil! In the short afternoon she had actually spent with some of these people she knew that they weren't anything but good! She was going to everything she could to help them. So she dived right in,
"Our order was created three hundred years ago, it was bon out of the dogma and prophecies, which seemed to be handed down to us by, well your farther," she waved at Lucifer who just nodded for her to continue, "Our job was to stop Satin from plunging the world into darkness and chaos," Emma had avoided using Lucifer as the name of the beast as she knew that he wasn't their enemy here, "Should Satin get a foothold here on earth, we were to use everything we knew to drive him back to the underworld, to save humanity from losing their souls to the dark beast!" Sister Emma swallowed hard, "When the elder's heard one too many rumours of the Devil walking the earth again, they got nervous and believed that it was now a time of destiny, their role to end the threat. That is where Kinley came in." She paused again, seeing Chloe's guilty look to Lucifer's quiet contempt, she thought it better to kept going with her explanation, "he took upon himself to not only expose you to the world but to banish you back to hell, he became fanatical and we all know where that ended up!"
"Yes we do, with him being confined to Hell for all of time!" Lucifer smirked, Emma didn't query this,
"Kinley going as far as he did, seemed to encourage the elder's, they scoured the ancient text until they found an answer! Within the text's there were spells or summoning's to bring us an Angel, one who would fight against the Devil and send him back to hell on our behalf, one who would be willing to take on this task!"
"That is what you did to Cass?!" Ella was horrified,
"Yes that is what happened, please believe me, I was never in favour of this plan and fought against it but was overruled and the Order / Group did it anyway. Now what they were expecting was a willing Angel, one who shared their misguided beliefs, beliefs that somehow their truth was the actual truth." She paused letting her words sink into the people she was trying to help.
"They got something a little different, didn't they?" Lucifer stated,
"Yes they did, then they were horrified by the fact she accepted you! Now they are beyond convinced that you have tricked her somehow, or brainwashed her to follow you!"
"Brainwashed? Pish! I am not a bloody Jedi!" Lucifer huffed.
