Chapter 2:

Chloe and Lucifer looked at each other but were disturbed by the sound of Chloe's cellphone. Another body was found in an alley near the abandoned warehouse.

"You stay here and take care of him Lucifer. I will call you if I need you." Chloe smiled noticing that this strange young man needed Lucifer far more than she needed her partner right now. Being thrown out of the house was still a sensitive object for her best friend but maybe that could be a reason for the two men to help each other.

Lucifer smiled and nodded looking briefly to the man in his guest room, not understanding why someone would throw such a pure soul out of the house, just because he liked both men and women.

"That's a good idea, detective. I am going to take care of him. I am going to help this man every way I can." Lucifer whispered.

"Call me if there is anything I can do to help you." Chloe smiled.

Lucifer nodded again, "Now go, douche is already waiting for you" he whispered, earning him a slap on his chest, "Don't call him that, Lucifer." Knowing that Daniel Espinoza meant more to him than he wanted to admit although she felt some tension between these men too. Lucifer was still a magnet for men and women and Lucifer himself was always glad when he could fulfill someone's desire.

Lucifer walked back into the room and saw Tommy looking through the window.

"A great view isn't it," Lucifer said taking a seat next to the man on the bed.

"If you don't want me here, just say it," Tommy said sadly not looking at Lucifer afraid of what he would find.

"Tommy, look at me," Lucifer responds turning the man's head, when Tommy didn't react, carefully, so that he didn't hurt the man but was forced to look at the devil.

"Why would I throw such a pure, handsome man out?" The devil smiled charmingly to the young man.

"Because I am thrown out by the two people I thought would love me no matter what." Tommy's eyes began to water at the thought of everything that happened.

"Lucifer placed a hand on one of Tommy's, "Don't forget who you are talking to. I was thrown out for an argument. Besides I am a pansexual myself. I love humans no matter male or female or even both. I don't mind people who had changed their gender or even busy doing that. I want to help you, why don't you tell me what happened to you."

Something about Lucifer made him stop doubting. His intuition was never wrong after all. He had seen real monsters in his ranger career and he was definitely not a monster. Maybe just maybe he could help him with his guilt too.

Tommy tried to get up and with a little help from his new friend made it to the balcony, "There is a lot I kept a secret from my parents. One of those things is the fact that I am bi-sexual like I said earlier. My mom and dad saw that something was eating at me. They told me I could tell them everything. Man, was I wrong." Tommy sighed deeply before he continued.

"It all started when I moved with my family to Angel Grove. I entered a competition for Karate. I had already a black belt back then. Two people caught my eye, one a beautiful young girl standing at the sidelines carrying the name Kimberly and another young man who had to fight, Jason. In the end, I buried my feelings for Jason and started a relationship with Kimberly whom I loved very much. I wasn't comfortable dating a guy and I didn't want to scare the guy off. After a horrible week where they helped me in the end, I became friends with them and Jason and I got closer and closer I didn't want to lose him so I kept my feelings a secret. He still doesn't know." Tommy said not still doubting if he would tell him where the darkness came from.

"I suppose he doesn't know about you being thrown out?" Lucifer asked curiously

Tommy shook his head, "No, that would mean I would need to tell him that I am bi and that I have feelings for him and I don't know if I can deal with his rejection right now. He moved to Switzerland and we tried to hold on contact. The last I heard of him he lived in Florida, where Kimberly lives. She left when she got a chance to be at the top of the gymnastic. She sent me a Dear John letter a few months later telling me she found someone else maybe who knows she and Jason found each other."

Tommy looked straight in front of him to view of the city, "I told my parents about my orientation after I broke up with Katherine. Saying I couldn't forget a boy without naming him but something tells me they knew who I was talking about. My father and I fought but he is a black belt himself so I was lucky that I only have minor bruises. They said they didn't want to see me ever again, they couldn't live with a son who loved another man even calling me a fag in the end. I traveled until I ended up here in Los Angeles, I sold my car after I spend my last money. Now I have nothing anymore. Not even a place to stay."

"You can stay here for now and about your job I think we are both lucky. My second bouncer quit today. If you want you can start if you are healed. I will start paying from today what do you think? I can use a black belt in my club with your patience." Lucifer smiled charmingly, not even and ex-ranger like Tommy could resist the devil forever.

"What I don't get, Tommy is that your soul is pure but still there is a darkness inside you I can't wrap my head around. Is there something you can tell about that?" Lucifer asked curiously but not forcing the truth out of him.

Tommy looked at his hands that were leaning over the railing from the balcony, "When I said I had a horrible week, it was more than that. I was under an evil spell, didn't have any control over my doing. I almost kill my friends at the time. The man I loved almost died by my hand. I was the evil green ranger."

Lucifer placed a hand on his shoulder, "No need to be ashamed here. It's horrible when the free will has been taken away from you and you are not at fault when that happens. I understand what it's like to have a dark side. I did things I regret now but you know what I choose to no longer be that monster. You have a pure heart it would be a shame that you would end up in Hell by it. Although it helps if you know someone there with I don't know a high position." Lucifer quipped.

Tommy laughed too. He didn't need to be scared of him as long as he was honest. That much was clear. He had seen enough experience to know what a monster looked like.

"Thank you, Lucifer for helping me out. Especially for the job and the fact that I have a place to stay." Tommy smiled.

"Having a handsome man in my penthouse for a while. There are worse things. Enjoy life a bit before you start another relationship. Enjoy the club life. I just don't want a drunk bouncer but for the rest don't bother to bring people up here, I don't really mind. I will even play along if you are into that." Lucifer smiled.

"Maybe you are right, maybe it's a good way to gain some experience before I throw myself in another relationship. Jason would be the only one that I would say yes too if he wanted me. Maybe search me a sort of friend with benefit to sleep with who knows what could happen." Tommy said a bit shyly. It must have been the Los Angeles air that did this to him.

Lucifer poured himself and Tommy both a glass of scotch and both men enjoyed the view from the balcony, "Welcome underneath the wings of your guardian devil." Lucifer smiled.

Tommy smiled back, "Thank you, your not so bad for a devil." before his knees buckled and grow weak again.

"Come on take some more rest. I am looking forward to having my new bouncer in the club." Lucifer smiled helping the young man with the ponytail back to the bed in the guest room.

Hoping that someday he could give the handsome the experience he was carving for but that was all up to him.
