A/N Thanks again for everyone who is reading this and has sent in some lovely reviews and messages
I haven't seen any of Crisis yet being in the UK and all, so we must wait till after Christmas, this isn't a Crisis related story if any of you were wondering, hope that doesn't put you off
Have to say I have been struggling with one but thanks to some lovely comments I was once again inspired, hope you enjoy.
"Where on earth have you been? We were all starting to get a little worr….!" Barry trailed off as he took in the sight of Kara carrying what looked like an entire store's worth of shopping bags,
"Apparently, I needed a new outfit, or well twelve new outfits!" Kara shock her head as she rolled her eyes,
"I can see that, did you buy out the entire store?" Barry was chuckling,
"Hey don't look at me like that!" Kara looked around the room, "the Devil made me do it!" Kara burst out laughing, what an absurd situation they had found themselves in.
"Well I have been accused of far worse things than treating a delightful young lady to a better wardrobe!" Lucifer swept into the room, a tray of pastries in one hand and coffee's in the other,
"Duuuuuuude!" Cisco, was diving in, "Life saviour!" Lucifer seemed pleased that his simple action had seemed to remove all the tension and worry in the room, Linda was worth her weight in gold he decided, for all her advice on how to handle humans, maybe he would do just that and shower her in gold, but then again she was quite small, so it wouldn't really be a fortune, maybe he should use his brother as a yard stick instead for gold giving gifts, Amenadiel was quite dense, he smirked at his own trail of thought. Then he saw another man head towards him, he was the Captain he had briefly met earlier at the crime scene, what was his name again?
"Kara, Mr Morningstar, I have no idea what you two did?" Joe shock his head with a somewhat amused look on his face, "He has not stopped confessing to any and all crimes! I mean to the point of shoplifting some sweets when he was a kid, normally we would just shrug this off as some crazy, we have seen our share! But he is giving times and dates and the evidence, what did you say to him, or do to him?" Joe locked eyes with Lucifer,
"Oh nothing my dear Captain, just reminded him that all those naughty little human crimes have a way of sticking with you and adding up, I heard confession was good the soul, is it not hmmm?" Lucifer smiled a feral grin at Captain West but was clearly amused,
"Well, yeah, I believe that but in all my years on the force I have never seen it quite so literal!" Joe rubbed his forehead. Still perplexed by the whole situation.
"Let's call it a perk of me being here, I am that good at solving crimes on my world, I now have to come here and solve yours too!" Lucifer preened at his own statement,
"You solve crimes?" Joe asked a little stunned,
"Why yes Captain, I am a police consultant for the LAPD, appropriate as it the city of angels after all? Do you have an LA here, never did get round to asking?" At the moment Lucifer thought of going to see what his alternative reality family were up to, was Chloe still an actress? Was Ella still stealing cars and running some underworld chop shop? Daniel, well he would still be a douche, it had been less than a day but he missed them all, the Devil was really going soft,
"Yeah we have an LA too and serious, the Devil solves crimes for the police?" Joe was just blown away with that final statement. He walked away muttering to himself about 'how had his life got this crazy?' Lucifer just smirked as he always found that little realisation amusing. Kara looked over and gave him a brilliant smile, it lifted his heart and it was a smile that he could see on Ella's face, maybe he should introduce the two after this little fiasco was done and dusted, he was sure to get some major brownie points for letting Ella meet an actual alien, she could actually explode with excitement,
"What? Why are you smiling like that? Do I have doughnut on my face?" Kara babbled at him, Lucifer's smile grow more genuine, so alike he thought and chuckled,
"No to the doughnut, you seen to have polished them off quite nicely, I do approve by the way, gluttony and all that, it is one of my favourite sins you know!" Lucifer wriggled his eyebrows at her and Kara blushed but laughed,
"No seriously?" She smiled up the Devil, Lucifer could really see her now, the shy yet strong, kind and caring young woman in front of him, one who only saw the best in people but at the same time would make the hard choices when needed not because she wanted to but it was who she was, if Dad had made his angels in her image, things might have gone more smoothly he mussed to himself before answering,
"Oh, it is just you remind me of someone I care a great deal about, she is a lot like you in fact!" Lucifer wasn't entirely sure why he was opening up to a virtual stranger but he didn't see the harm in it. Kara had that Ella way of making him talk, dam Ella's super powers!
"Who? If you don't mind me asking!" Kara fiddled with her glasses in a slightly nervous way, she wanted to find out more about this man / Devil but didn't want to push him away, she had a feeling that he was not one to like talking about personal things,
"Miss Lopez the most but all of them actually, you humans!" Lucifer paused and gave Kara a small smile, "and others, from elsewhere, do surprise me with you capacity for good and kindness and that drive to help others for no reason other than to just help, after all the time I spent having to deal with the worst of your kind, I get to meet people who bring me hope, that humans are trying to do better and some even help me to believe that I am not a monster and just love me, horns and all" Lucifer looked sad but still smirked at the 'horns' comment,
"I don't think you are a monster!" Kara said firmly,
"So much like the Detective!"
"Thought you said you didn't have horns?" Kara teased a little
"Oh hush you!" Lucifer didn't even try to remain serious.
