Maybe?

"Can you just shut up? Please." Lucifer snapped as his little sister raised an eyebrow . "I know I am not a shapeshifter. I know it wasn't me that got Eve to eat that bloody apple."

"Well."

"But Dad said."

He reached the portal that would take them back to LA.

"Dad says a lot. And for someone who says they don't care what he thinks, you certainly seem to take it at face value." She smiled.

"He told me."

"Yeah. Because he knew you'd believe Him, tell that lot down there." She pointed back to the portal they had just passed through. "Dad said only a fallen angel could preside over Hell."

"Yes."

"Well, he only said it to make sure you stayed there. He knew you would tell the demons and Hellrats that you were there for the duration. Kept you in a place he could keep an eye on you."

Lucifer's eyes widened. "So?"

"So, it backfired."

"So God. Dad. Lied." Lucifer almost yelled as the anger built in his gut. "Creator of All. Supreme Being. Lied!"

"Er, Yeah." She shrugged. "I think it was temporary. You had helped Mum with the Great Plagues. I'm still gagging over the whole Locust thing."

Lucifer shook his head. "And people still worship Him. Humans. I don't get it."

"I do. He's not perfect but people want to have faith in something other then themselves. Now, Satan first or Chloe?"

"Satan. I have to put him back where he belongs. I." Tears filled his eyes.

"Oh! You really do love her."

"Can we go now?"

Azreal shook her head slightly. "You can't essay it. Can you?"

"Ok! I LOVE HER!" He yelled. "Happy now?"

Azreal smirked for a moment before clutching her stomach. Lucifer was at her side in seconds, easing her into a bench nearby as the LA night air bit through them. She bit her lip as the pain shot through her.

"It's okay." Lucifer knelt in front of his sister. "Hey."

"I'm not ok." She took a deep breath. "Luci."

"What is it?"

"He knows."

"Who?"

"Satan. The First. Whatever you want to call him."

"He knows you told me the truth?!"

"Uh hu." She screwed her eyes up as another wave hit her. "Please Don't Let Him Win!?"

Lucifer brushed her hair from her face. "Where is Amendial when you need him?"

"Promise! You can be evil. But you are not the root of all evil. You aren't the King of Hell." She gasped as he nodded, "Because you would never do this to me. To Chloe." She passed out in his arms as his wings covered her.

"Mom?" Trixie ran to the bedside as Chloe lay motionless in the bed. "You are gonna be fine. Lucifer will come back and everything will be fine. You just need to wake up." The little girl held her hand as Maze stepped back to see Linda walk towards them with baby Charlie in his pram.

"Hey."

"How is she?"

"Stable." Maze shrugged her shoulders. "Whatever that means."

Linda sighed. "It means she is not getting worse or better. She just. Is."

Maze folded her arms as she watched the little girl with her mother. "The doctors say she had some sort of heart problem. She thought it was stress related. Her heart is broken."

"There have been cases of people dying from broken hearts." Linda watched as Maze narrowed her eyes.

"Humans are rubbish basically. Design flaw. Souls, emotions."

"You are more human than you think." Linda paused as Maze glared at her. "You love Trixie, Chloe and Lucifer. If you didn't care about Amendial and Charlie we would never have fallen out."

"So?"

"Love, friendship. That's what makes you human." Linda squeezed her arm. Maze smiled slightly.

"Then why is it I wanna kill Lucifer for doing this to them. To us?"

Linda paused. "Because you're a good person, whatever you think."

"Luci!" Amendial almost yelled as he saw his brother bring the younger sister in to the apartment.

"She's hurt. And you lied to me. So you not my favourite celestial being right now Brother." He snapped. Amendial knelt next to Azreal as she lay on the sofa.

"What happened to her?"

"Satan." He rounded on him, eyes flashing red with anger. "You knee the truth! You knew the real King of Hell is not me! You knew The First Evil - Satan is here on Earth and you let me rot! You and good old Dad! Now our sister is suffering!"

"What?"

"You heard me!"

"Dad lied to us!"

"Yeah. The all seeing, all loving God. You know! The one who created bugs that destroy the sight of kids in Africa, who created parasites that attack and destroy people. The God who did nothing to stop diseases, innocent kids dying. That God lied." Lucifer snapped. "We need to do something."

"Yeah." Amendial nodded as he began fussing around his sister. "Water. Get water."

"Right. "

"Why aren't you with Chloe?"

"Excuse me. Sister. Very sick - psychic attack." Lucifer snapped.

"I can fix this. Chloe is in hospital. She's dying, Luci. Linda called. They think she might die."

Lucifer stopped, the words hitting him like a bullet. "No."

"You broke her heart leaving. Humans can die of broken hearts. Get to the hospital. She needs you." He turned back to his sister, knowing the Angel of Death needed him to save her.
