Kara and Team Flash sat on one side of the conference room table, all eyes were on the man who claimed to be the Devil,
So you're the Devil?" Barry Allen asked, still a little dazed from the events that had led them into this situation, he had barely let the man sit down before launching into the only question that seemed to matter,
"Yes!" Lucifer simply responded,
"Like the real Devil, all evil and wraith?" Cisco was miming horns,
"I don't have bloody horns and I am not evil, I punish evil!" Lucifer huffed, "I am partial to some well-placed wraith though." The impossible man grinned rather devilishly. Kara and Barry shared a knowing look, both glad that they hadn't been on the receiving end of that and hoped not to be in the near future.
"Like the actual Devil, Devil? From hell?" Kara now joined the conversation,
"YES! For the love of Dad and for the last time, yes I am the Devil, yes, in case you haven't noticed I am extremely handsome, why do you humans find this concept so hard to grasp?" Lucifer had become a little animated, taking a deep breath and a quick adjustment of his cufflink, he continued, "Now then you lot, why have you brought me here or more like how you did it, as it really shouldn't be possible?" Lucifer gazed at the hero's. "I'm sure my brother is laughing is arse off now!" Lucifer was muttering to himself and shacking his head.
Barry shared a silent conversation with Cisco, both shaking their heads and shrugging their shoulders, "We didn't!" The pair said in unison, then Cisco continued, "Well not intentionally!"
"Oh F…." Lucifer began but was cut off by Kara,
"Language mister!" Her tone was sharp, Lucifer's eyebrows had raised to a comical level but he relented, "that's more like it! You may the Devil but there is no need for that sort of thing." Kara couldn't help but smile a little at his mumbled "Very well Detective!"
"Detective?" She responded, her journalistic instincts peeked but before she could probe a little deeper, Lucifer interrupted,
"My apologies, your tone reminded me of someone!" With the Devil suitably chastised, Kara looked to Cisco and with a little head nod of encouragement she asked,
Hey Cisco, can't we just open another portal to send Lucifer back to his Earth?"
"My Earth?" Lucifer queried,
"Yeah Kara, we should be able to do that, we just need to know which one?" At Lucifer's lost and bored expression, Cisco carried ventured on, "Well you see, the multi-verse exists, many different Earths, all possibilities played out, we're here on Earth One, Kara is from 38," Cisco was about to begin his slimed down version explanation/introduction but Lucifer had heard enough,
"Earth One my arse! Now listen up, I am more than familiar with multiple realities than you will ever be, upon my arrival here I even asked why I was in a different dimension, did I not?"
The group just stared at him. When no reply came, Lucifer forged on,
"I am a celestial being, older than time, responsible for igniting the very stars in the skies after Dear Old Dad commanded 'Let There Be Light', do you honestly think I do not know of the MULTI-VERSE?" Lucifer loomed over the table as his voice rose causing the hero's to scoot back a bit. "Now, if you would excuse me, I am going to find a bar and then drink it dry." With that Lucifer spun and was out of the door before anyone could react. Once again the group were stunned.
"WOW! Did that go well? I'm thinking not so much?" Cisco asked no one in particular.
"I'm going to give Joe and Iris a call, let them know what is happening, we might need their help!" Barry stood and made his way out of the conference room to make his call in private. It was turning out to be a very strange day. Cisco also left leaving Kara and Caitlin alone in the room,
"You were a little quiet? Are you ok?" Kara smiled at Caitlin and gave her hand a little squeeze,
"I'm fine, just a lot to take in you know?" Kara nodded, "I believe him, I can't explain why or how but I do, he also flirted with Frost, which she seemed to like." Caitlin blushed a little,
"I am sure that was an interesting conversation?" Caitlin blushed hard, Kara laughed followed by a snort, which then had Caitlin laughing too.
Caitlin sobered, "Kara, it was if he looked directly into my very being and could see both parts with total clarity and it really didn't seem to faze him, I know Frost isn't evil, most people disagree but he seemed to see that too, I guess if his proclamation was true that he punishes evil, then I should be fine, we should be fine, right?" Caitlin voice had become a whisper and tear filled eyes met Kara's,
"Hey!" Kara wrapped her arms around Caitlin and gently patted her back, "it will be ok, I think if he really wanted to hurt us, he was more than able to and he seemed more frustrated and annoyed than angry at us, so that's a positive?!" Kara could feel Caitlin nodding against her, "What do you think he meant by 'Dear Old Dad'," Kara air quoted with a smile, "told him to light the sky?"
Caitlin pulled back from the embrace, "Do you not know what Lucifer is meant to be?" Kara shock her head, "Well the Lucifer from faith is supposed to be a fallen Archangel, so that would make his Dad God!"
"Oh!" Kara was just starting to really understand what the group had walked into this time.
