The last thing he remembers is spreading his wings in a fiery death. It feels like no time at all has passed and now he's opening his eyes in this pitch-black space. He doesn't bother shifting; he stays relaxed and looks to his right, then back to his left. There are no corners or boundaries in this infinite room. It's a night without the stars.
"Except for me," he thinks out loud, "the morning star. That's ironic."
"I'm not quite sure that's how irony works."
Lucifer recognizes the voice. "Duma."
"Yes, it's her vessel's form, but no."
Lucifer looks away from the shadow's direction. This seems to bother the voice, who goes on, "you see I had the pleasure of reading the memories of an angel injected with literary knowledge," the tone of her voice makes it sound like it was anything but a pleasure, "fun times. Am I going to have to do to you the same I did to him?"
Lucifer slowly sits up, noticing his wings are corporeal here. They momentarily spread for balance. "Am I doing something wrong?" He crosses his legs, wings relax and lay behind him.
The shadow meets her hands behind her back and clenches one with the other. She glares at Lucifer for noticeable seconds. When Lucifer's eyes gaze up to meet the entity, she asks, "where do you think you are?"
Lucifer pauses only for a moment. Angels had a general understanding of their eventual fate. "The empty."
"No shit, ya dingus," sudden and loud. Lucifer throws her a look. "The empty is for sleeping," she continues, "maybe you weren't aware, but this isn't your typical empty experience. You might feel like you just woke up but you've been here longer than you think. So yes, you're doing something wrong, and if we could just hurry up and return to the natural order of things,"
"I don't like your attitude." Lucifer crosses his arms, "maybe I won't."
The shadow mirrors the movement and also crosses her arms. Contemplative and irritated, she looks down at Lucifer, who asks, "what did you do to Castiel?"
"Terrible things. Terrible horrible things. Things you want to avoid for sure, and you can, if you would just close your eyes."
"You're bluffing, Castiel is fine."
"Oh You're so sharp," the shadow sarcastically bites. She begins to approach Lucifer. Lucifer slightly leans away.
"What are you doing?" He stands up and so does his wings. They unfurl and stay spread.
"I'm going to read your memories. If another angel wakes up I will completely lose it," her voice cracked. Lucifer takes note. "I'm going to find out who or what's dipping their little tendrils into this realm and tear them apart."
The shadow lunges at Lucifer, who evades with a sharp beat of his wings pulling him away. He already knows the reason by the ringing in his memory, Nick's call. If it was just the prayer that penetrated the empty, angels and demons would be revitalized by their vessels left and right. No, the only difference is Jack, Lucifer reasoned, who would have the incentive to call out for his fake substitute father. Jack, who's grace would faintly linger in Lucifer's last vessel, making the long distance call possible.
Lucifer suddenly stops resisting the shadow and allows her to attempt to lay her hand on his memories. His wings fold neatly, confidently. There's a moment of stillness as she tries to penetrate his mind. The shadow shoots her eyes up to meet Lucifer's. She adds a second hand. No effect.
The shadow screams. It's a wretched sound. Lucifer winces, his wings coming up like shoulders.
"You're different from the archangel Raphael.."
Lucifer smiles at the implication that Gabriel hasn't arrived here. To the shadow, the smile looks like a play at dominance and it adds to her freakout.
Lucifer raises his wings and takes a slow step towards the shadow. "I wonder where you go when you die.."
She's falling for it. The shadow doesn't know that Lucifer's borrowed power will fade. She wouldn't have the patience to hold out if she did know. However, she will find out eventually. Lucifer realizes that it's in his best interest to establish an agreement and prevent meeting the shadow's wrath later.
He stops his menacing approach. "The only thing I can't do is get out of here. Let me ask you something." It isn't a question so the shadow doesn't vocalize a response, but she breaks her defensive stance. Lucifer continues, "do you like adding to your collection? Do you get off when something new comes to the empty?"
"That's a very personal question."
"You do."
"Yes, so long as they don't stir."
"So I'll bring you more. So many more. Daily."
She's hiding her thrill at the thought, but lets on to her rising hint of suspicion.
"I know I know, it's sounding a little too good to be true, I could have already made you release me or just snapped you in half."
Lucifer makes a small movement of his hand. The shadow is frozen. She has never been challenged like this before. By anything or anyone.
Lucifer stands '' but I believe you could be a better ally than anything else
The shadow cackles '' What ''
Lucifer you existed before God and Darkness itself everything will come here on death
The shadow '' yes than I...
Lucifer '' but if that happens no new pain and suffering just ''
The shadow freezes at the implications
Lucifer which is where I come in
The shadow '' what "
Lucifer '' give me the power to duplicate everything and the ability to never died or be injure but being able to go to from this place with no end and you could forever have beings coming here ''
The shadow '' chuckles my champion is that what you are saying ''
Lucifer yes
The shadow hmm I know that is not all at least the memories of this angel says
Lucifer'' yes wouldn't it be so much sweeter if every single one of them had so much hope only to snatch away
The shadow'' eyes wide at the sheer pleasure of this deal could mean
Lucifer now imagine if you could feed on that pain forever and still sleep
The shadow hmm The shadow senses this deal as a high level of respect from the being least capable of granting such a thing. That isn't even the best part.
"Do you hear that?" The shadow reaches an arm up to the side of Lucifer's face, thumb on his mouth. It's silent. "It's silent."
He doesn't initially understand the significance of her words or this contact. Lucifer places his hand on top and moves the shadow's hand down a bit to sarcastically reply, "silence in a bustling place like this? Wow, that's new."
"It is for me." Contrasting Lucifer, the shadow's tone has changed to a completely serious one. Her demeanor is noticeably different. Her jittery impatience is gone.
The shadow's other corporeal hand cups the other side of Lucifer's face. She looks back and forth between his eyes. "You're my answer."
She opens her mouth and envelopes his. She kisses him.
It's comparable to Death suddenly kissing a person who by chance guessed correctly at the meaning of life, and it baffles Lucifer.
It's like he can't control his wings anymore. They beat out of any sort rhythm a few times and then settle on falling forward, almost enveloping the two.
He tastes himself when she kisses her, she's the embodiment of absence. And yet she feels herself reflected in him. His grace blockade is weakened just enough to give her a glimpse at his fueled perspective of doom and universal meaninglessness. His love has been almost completely shattered, the beauty he used to see in the universe all but eradicated. He's breathtakingly tragic, she surges forward for more.
He catches her prying and restores the blockade before she sees the truth. He reluctantly breaks the kiss, wings brushing against her shoulders as he retracts them.
"I accept your proposal, but I want to add to it as my champion I will give you power equal to every being here plus their unique power and their understanding of that power in exchange I expect you to send many here with hopes and dreams.
Lucifer smiles enjoying this deal the most ever
The shadow '' hmm I actually like you and I won't go back to that feeling so you will become a part of me
Lucifer eyes go wide knowing he will become an embodiment of the empty nods to shock to say anything
The shadow'' I know that you care that Angel so as the first reward she will be the first to become an angel of the empty and she will serve as you see her
Shadow ''hmm as long as you know you belong to me that is fine ''
Lucifer so to seal
Shadow make an unbreakable vow
Lucifer nods
I Lucifer the morningstar, the devil, Lightbringer, Archangel of Light, music, and desire, second of God 's General do swear on these terms discuss
The shadow ''I bind you to these terms of this being to me no other version will have the deal in all time since your creation ''
Lucifer kneels as a binding link forms between them that can't be broken even if he travels back in time
Shadow smiles than the shadow turn back into shadow and
Lucifer disappears in that shadow.
Lucifer has landed face-down on a busy sidewalk a police siren blaring in the background. He slowly stands up and tries to figure out where he is
Lucifer world blacken for a moment
Lucifer stops looks around '' Yes I back to this world an... '' looks down at his clothes no this will do no good
Lucifer clothes change into what he was wearing before he was trapped in that world
Lucifer good that's better now what next
Lucifer world disappears
Lucifer looks around back in the Empty
A sense of pain fills him
Lucifer screams a Wretched scream as waves of golden Light expands from him black shadows rises everywhere then a duplicate is created of them and then a pieces of the shadow unites that duplicate disappear from the empty
Lucifer breathes a sigh of relief the pain is gone
Lucifer waves hand and the shadows are submerged again
Lucifer nods than disappears from the empty
every dimension beings are being returned to life
Lucifer smiles at feeling each and every one of them being return to life
Lucifer disappears
Lucifer appears at a church
Ariel stands ready to start healing
Lucifer walks through the doors
The people in the room gasp as Ariel brighten the room and a shadow of wings appear on the wall as the wings heal and light expands around to touch every human
The people gasp as they are healed and the money is teleport into the box
Ariel stun as her wings are healed and power beyond what she ever had is flooded into her
Ariel feels as she becomes an Angel of the empty
Ariel her mind filled with the knowledge of her new powers and who made it possible and why he cared
Ariel senses Lucifer walk in
Ariel falls to her knees
The people gasp
Ariel My Lord
The people instantly think that he is the god or an archangel kneels
Lucifer hello my angel
Ariel rise slowly
Lucifer you have been told what I want
Ariel yes I just received your message
Lucifer smiles than let's go
Ariel wings spread and she disappears
Lucifer turn around my loyal children spread my word
The humans' nod
Lucifer I choice you to evolve will you accept
Humans ' nod
Lucifer I need the word yes
Humans' shout '' YES
Lucifer waves nods than waves hand Light hits the humans and their bloodlines starting from the ten generations until they spilled everyone born since ten generations ago of there bloodlines are upgraded
Lucifer nods and disappears
exterior, a playground beside a sandbox, the portal to Heaven, Cas meets with another angel]
CASTIEL: Dumah, thank you for agreeing to meet with me. This is a matter of-of great urgency. It's imperative that I locate Jack.
DUMAH: You mean the Nephilim.
CASTIEL: Yes. Do the angels have him?
DUMAH: No.
CASTIEL: Okay, you're certain that he's not maybe sitting in– in Metatron's old cell or–
DUMAH: If we had him, he wouldn't be imprisoned. He would be put to work.
CASTIEL: What do you mean?
DUMAH: Castiel, the angels... Our numbers were greatly diminished after the fall. No one's made new angels since the dawn of creation. We're going extinct. You would need a powerful force to make more of us.
CASTIEL: You mean Jack. Even if he had that power, what makes you think he'd cooperate?
DUMAH: He may not have a choice.
CASTIEL: So you're planning to enslave him for some kind of experiment?
DUMAH: Castiel, he's not your pet. He belongs to all of us.
[Two other angels come through the sandbox portal behind Dumah]
FIRST ANGEL: You did well, Dumah. You delivered him as promised. [to Castiel] We hear you have influence with the Nephilim. He'll listen to you.
CASTIEL: No. I will not help you.
FIRST ANGEL: Ever the renegade.
DUMAH: Castiel, please, come with us.

Lucifer waits as Ariel appears than offering her his arm walks through the portal
Castiel in pain disappears
