THANK YOU ALL!
ON WITH THE STORY!
Lucifer smirked at the look if fear in Malcolm's eyes. "My idiot of a brother gives you a second chance and this is The way you spend it." Letting the hell fire within his eyes intensify his wings dissapeared. "You know there is a special place in hell for humans like you. It my personal favorite to be honest."
Malcolm's hand shook as he aimed. "I still have this." He pulled out Lucifer's coin. "this will save me."
Lucifer laughed, one that sent chills down Chloe's back. "which coin?"
Malcolm glanced down at his hand, eyes wide at not seeing it in his hand. "what?"
"you mean this one?" Lucifer flipped the coin over his knuckles, it looked as if it was moving on its own. He glanced at Chloe. "detective, darling I suggest you grab your offspring and leave."
"Lucifer?" Chloe was still trying to convince herself of what she just saw.
"Chloe, I do not wish for you to see what will happen." The way her name rolled of his tongue did thing to her.
Chloe turned to look for Trixie when she spotted Malcolm raise his gun, without thinking she rolled across the ground grabbed her gun and shot three times into Malcolm.
Lucifer watched as he fell to the ground. Waking over to him he tossed the coin into the air, smirking as he tried to grab it only for it to vanish. Tilting his head to the side, Lucifer watch the life leave his eyes. "have fun in hell Malcolm."
"mommy!" Trixie yelled running into her mother's arms. "is it over?"
"yes baby, it's over." Chloe whispered.
"excuse me for not participating in on the group hug." Lucifer smirked.
Chloe stared at him with surprised. "I thought you were dead." Her tone was a whisper.
"oh I did!" seeing the -cute may he add- puzzle look on her he smiled. "I got better."
"a-and the wings? Your eyes? Lucifer what the hell is going on!?"
Rolling his eyes, he sighed. "I told you already detective. I am the-"
"no! it can't be true!" Chloe shook her head. He can't be! It's impossible!
Trixie pulled on her mother's sleeve. "mommy? Can we go home, please?"
Glancing down at her daughter she stroked her cheek. "yes, baby. I just need to wait for the officers to show up." Picking her up she turned to Lucifer. "I need to be with her."
"oh. Of course detective. I will be leaving; maze must be worried." Lucifer turned to leave, when a hand grabbed his shoulder.
Chloe gave him a small smile. "I didn't say that for you to leave Lucifer. what I meant was for us to continue this later." She paused for a moment hesitant to say the next words. "can you stay?"
Lucifer allowed a sincere smile. "I would love to detective."
They sat together until the paramedics arrived along with back up. Taking both Lucifer's and Chloe's statement they were allowed to leave. Lucifer drove them home; no words were said between them. Chloe was trying to come up with an explanation as to what she witness today. Was her mind playing games on her? Maybe Lucifer's insanity has finally reached her?
Arriving home, she grabbed her sleeping daughter and tucked her in. walking back into the living room she spotted Lucifer sitting on her couch.
He could sense the curiosity waving of her. "just ask detective."
Chloe smiled, when did he get so good at reading her? "what happened back there?" Lucifer opened her mouth, but was cut off. "I saw you get shot! Went to the hospital and was told you died! Then you appear out of nowhere alive as a bird! Not only that, but I could have sworn you had wings! Wings! Lucifer you had angel wings!" Lucifer just allowed her to ramble on, she needed to let it all out. "I thought you were dead Lucifer. do you have any idea what I felt seeing you lying on that table!? I thought I had lost you for good!" tears were rolling down her face, wrapping her arms around herself trying to keep a little composure. Something deep inside him twisted at the sight of her in such despair. Jumping to his feet he pulled her into his arms. "I thought I had lost you." She whispered into his neck.
"you have not lost me detective." Lucifer said, taking a deep breath he pulled away slightly. "I can show you."
Chloe looked up at him with a confused look. "what?"
"I can show you I am the devil. Only a hint of it, I rather like you sane." He smirked giving her a once over.
Chloe pulled away standing at arm's length. "alright."
Taking her hand in his he sighed. "no matter what you see, please remember I am the Lucifer you know." Getting a nod, she closed his eyes.
Chloe watched him close his eyes. the moment he opened them she gasped jumping back and dropping his hand. His eyes were black, with fire dancing inside the iris of his eyes. "oh go-"
"careful detective." Lucifer teased, his eyes returning to their normal warm brown.
Chloe shook her head. "this can't be true. You cannot be the devil." Hugging herself she took a step back as he reached for her.
Lucifer hid the pain it caused him to see the fear in her eyes. "det-Chloe. Please do not fear me." Holding his hand out for her he waited. "I would never harm you, I could not bear it."
Chloe looked at her hand, then him and back. Swallowing hard she placed her smaller hand into his. The heat coming off him was ridiculous, he was burning up. "you really are the devil." It was more of a statement than a question.
Lucifer snorted. "yes detective." With a small chuckle he pulled her towards the couch. "I told before and I will tell you again. I have never lied to you." Grabbing her chin, he pulled her to face him. "and I will never lie to you."
Chloe although composed she was freaking out! Her mind and heart were at war, one yelling that it didn't matter if he was the devil. She loved him and that was enough to overcome this. The other screamed not to be stupid, he was dangerous! A man that punished and tortured who knows how many souls. Looking at him carefully she smiled to herself. Her heart won way before the war started. He was not evil, in this job she knew evil and he was not. Instead he was honest, lovable (when he wanted to be), charming (although she would never admit it out loud), and handsome. No he was anything, but evil. Then she remembered. "what about the wings?"
Lucifer chuckled. "all real darling." His smiled changed into a frown. "why father had them returned to me is rather unsettling."
Chloe squirmed in her seat. "c-can I see them?"
"very well detective." Standing up he removed his jacket followed by his shirt. Turning his back to her, she noticed his scars were gone. It was as if they were never there. "I still have them detective, they are just covered."
"covered? With what?" Chloe itched to run her hand down his back.
Looking over his shoulder he gave her a killer smile. "with these." Out of nowhere wings sprouted from his back. Chloe jumped back with a gasp. They were huge! The wings of the angelic creature arced high above its gracious head of midnight hair. Raising a hand to touch them, she paused halfway. "it's alright, go ahead." They were made of long, soft feathers like the fur of a polar bear, thick and so soft it felt like a cloud. They were whiter than a soft colored cloud on a bleating summers day, so white that a pure glow seemed to emit from them.
"they are beautiful." She whispered. Taking a step away she watched as they disappeared into his back once more. "I still can't believe this is all real and here I thought you were just some lunatic."
"yes well, let's be glad I am not." Lucifer snorted, sobering quickly he took her hands in his. "do I scare you?"
Chloe stayed silent for a moment. "no." she shook her head. "for some odd and crazy reason you don't. I mean I'm still coming to grasp with all of this, but having you around brings me a sensation of…"
"of what?" he pushed lightly.
"safeness…security. As if nothing bad can happen to me of my daughter." Being pulled into his arms, she smiled sighed happily when his lips fell onto her temple.
