A/N Thanks again for everyone who is reading this and has sent in some lovely reviews (reviews are the life blood, so please review) and messages, always means a great deal to me.

Being in the UK, we still haven't got Crisis yet, so haven't seen it (yes unfortunately have had far too many spoilers so have a good idea of what happens). Funny thing is that we also haven't got Batwoman, so will be probably missing that entire episode!

Crisis is coming but this is set a good few months before.


Lucifer was bored and a bored Lucifer meant annoyance to everyone around him as he began fidgeting! From a random drawer Cisco had supplied him with a yo-yo, he had hope that would have stopped Lucifer from pressing buttons and genuinely getting in the way, it had kind of worked. Ella had disappeared off to parts unknown with Barry, apparently he was a CSI like she was so they were off discussing crime scenes, evidence gathering and what not's, Lucifer wasn't interested, as much as he loved Ella's dedication and excitement about these type of things, he had too many things on his mind.

Once again being who he was had uprooted and turned Ella's world upside down again but as usual Ella had just rolled with it, never blaming him for her sudden introduction to this 'New Earth', powered people and aliens, well it had been Amenadiel's idiotic idea to open another breach for Ella to fall into, he was going to kick his brother ass when he got back. He was supposed to be the reckless one after all.

Deep down Lucifer knew that these people were none the wiser on how both he and Ella had arrived on Earth One but he also knew that 'Team Flash' was holding something back from him, Ella and it seemed from Kara too. This little fact was puzzling him, why would they keep Kara out of the loop? Not telling Ella and himself made a great deal of sense as they were new here and unknowns, he was also the Devil so would take these people a while to really trust him!

To Lucifer he didn't think Team Flash's withholding of information was for any nefarious reason, were they trying to protect Kara from something? He wasn't sure, did he care enough to investigate this further and get to the bottom of it? It wasn't like he was always forthcoming with the whole story either, they were a close group of friends, so they should know what was best for each other, probably! So Lucifer decided that they must have good intensions to keep Kara in the dark for now, so he let it go, however being who he was he was more than aware of what the road to Hell was paved with.

So ignoring this for now, Lucifer was left with three possibilities! The first, Dear Old Dad had sent him here, it was always a safe bet to blame his farther for any and all weird situations he found himself in, because of 'Dad's Plan' but for the life of him he couldn't see why? To meet some truly good people? Save a random human from an assault? That didn't really seem like his father's style.

As that first thought hadn't really tracked in his mind so he moved on to the second possibility, some other third party being involved? That led to a further two reasons, was it to get him to this earth or to get him away from his earth? So far Lucifer hadn't seen any evidence of the latter or former but it was still early days so something or someone may soon turn up to reveal their dastardly plan.

The final possibility he could see, was that this was genially some kind of cosmic accident, just one of those billion to one chances that did happen every once in a while and it would make some kind of sense that the universe was messing with him! If this was just an accident then well, this was a whole new ball game, in Lucifer's mind that actually sent a small shiver down his spine as the only way that could be a possibility would be if the barriers between the universes was somehow weakening or collapsing and that shouldn't be a possible reality, would his father allow that? Was this the big secret Team Flash were hiding? Maybe he would have to investigate further after all.

Maybe the best solution was that he should just pick Ella up and drag them both back to their earth, that way she should be safe from what may be coming. She would kick up an almighty fuss about it but her safety was more important to him.

With all of these new thoughts and scenarios running through his mind he needed some air and by air, he needed a drink, so in his own unique style he stated, "Mr Ramone, your lab smells and this is Boring!"

"My lab doesn't smell but if it did, would smell of my genius!" Cisco smirked at the look on Lucifer's face,

"Are you any closer to figuring out Miss Lopez's and my situation?" Lucifer challenged,

"Well, no, not yet but we will man, don't you worry!" Cisco's response wasn't as certain as he would have liked,

"You have that look of a man with a theory, why don't you tell me hmmm? You know it is good to get these little things off of your chest!" Lucifer purred and made a move to lock eyes with the scientist,

"Hey, hold up man, don't give me that look!?" Cisco had seen that look before when Lucifer had questioned Kara after his surprising arrival, he wasn't going to get sucked into the Devil's weird powers and start spouting out his inner most feelings. It took all of his effort to break the hold he could feel Lucifer had on him, "Nope, no theory yet, few ideas but that's it, will need to run them passed Barry and some more simulations, but no, nothing yet that could help you or explain things!" Cisco babbled a little,

"Oh a complicated one then!" Lucifer smirked and seemed a little impressed, it was so very rare that he couldn't get someone to open up to him, "very well then, I will let you keep your secret for now but I warn you Cisco Ramone, if I am to learn that this little secret of yours puts Miss Lopez in harm's way, we are going to have words and I am sure you won't like what I have to say!" Cisco visibly paled and swallowed hard, he was rooted to the spot and didn't dare move until Lucifer had turned and stalked away.

From Cisco's point of view it had seemed at that moment Lucifer's presence had filled the entire lab, he had seemed to have grown in stature and loomed over him, he was radiating power and Cisco could feel it. Lucifer's voice hadn't been raised and that was scarier, it was cold and dangerous and that caused the hairs on the back of Cisco's neck to rise. Had he made the worst mistake possible and seriously pissed the Devil off? Should he have told Lucifer about Crisis? Cisco slumped down in his chair and released the breath he was holding. Lucifer seemed to be putting the pieces of the puzzle together on his own and what would his response be when he or Barry told him the full and uncensored truth about what was coming? He needed to talk to Barry and soon before this went sideways!


Lucifer re-entered the bar he had spent a few hours at earlier, taking the seat he had previously occupied. Even though it was now 9pm the bar was quiet (did people on this earth not drink?), he wasn't sure if that was preferable, did he want a little peace and quiet or did he want to go to a club and find himself a pretty little distraction or three?

The bartender he had interacted with earlier poured him a drink without preamble, just giving the Devil a nod, Lucifer accepted the drink, knocking it back in one, whilst signalling for another, which the bartender just simply poured.

"So day not getting any better?" The bartender smirked and he leant back and cleaned a glass, Lucifer just gave the man a look, a look which told him all he needed to know, "I'll keep them coming!"

"Much appreciated!" Lucifer accepted the drink.


Ella and Barry were laughing hard as they walked into Cisco's lab, whatever story they had been discussion stopped dead when Ella saw the look on Cisco's face,

"What happened Cisco?" Ella had instantly sobered from her fun and was now looking concerned,

"I think Lucifer may have figured out what is coming!" Cisco stared at Barry, pleading with his eyes to somehow give him the right course of action here,

"Wait, that's great…" Ella looked between the pair and clearly could tell they were worried, but worried about what? "Not great?" Hoping they would continue but the pair just sat in silence, weighing up what they should tell the new arrivals.


Cisco had been evasive and somewhat strong willed enough to resist Lucifer's desire mojo as the Detective had always called it, that alone wouldn't normally have bothered him but he could feel it, feel that something big was on the cusp of occurring and was heading their way sooner rather than later. What that was he wasn't sure, he suspected that Cisco and Barry knew, was this what they were keeping from him, Ella and Kara? But he couldn't see the reason why. If the Team were keeping Kara in the dark there had to be a solid reason why and that meant something, something truly bad was coming!

Before long he expected to have to be making a few calls, he may longer be on celestial speed dial but they would hear him and whoever he called better answer him or there wold be 'Hell' to pay! Tomorrow he would get to the bottom of this, one way or another.
