Chapter 4

"This is the De La Vega's hacienda, Diego will surely try and help her." Victoria said when she jumped off the cart, "wait here I am going to get some help."

Trixie and Lucifer nodded before Victoria took off towards the large house.

"Lucifer can't you help mommy now, nobody is looking?" Trixie whispered curiously she didn't understand why he was so secretive about him being the devil, he didn't hurt anybody but she had promised Lucifer to keep it a secret. Normally she was as good at keeping a secret as any other ten-year-old child but she somehow sensed that this was one time she needed to keep this promise.

"Sorry, little hellion, they will arrive soon and nobody can see the wings," Lucifer whispered back.

"But we saw them and we still love you, why can't they see them?" She asked not understanding what all the fuss was about. Like it was normal that a man had wings.

"That is because you and your mommy are two special persons, who know the real me. Other people wouldn't understand." Whispered quickly.

Meanwhile inside the hacienda. Victoria came running inside almost bumping into Felipe.

"Felipe, is Diego here? I need his help with some people I found in the desert. One of them is unconscious but I can't help her from the cart." Victoria said quickly.

Felipe nodded and signed for her to follow him. Diego came just around the corner probably coming from his room when he saw Felipe with Victoria hot in his heels and worries on her face.

"Victoria what's wrong?" Diego asked worriedly.

"Diego I need your help please, I found some strangers in the desert and one of them is unresponsive. Dr. Hernandez is in San Pedro, can you please look at her?" Victoria asked knowing that he was always willing to help people in need. She had sighed often whenever she noticed that Diego had run off or was lost again. If he only was half as brave as Zorro, she would marry him instead of waiting for Zorro's mission to end.

"Of course, where are they?" Diego asked seeing no one.

"They are still in my cart, the woman is held by her friend the whole trip but I am not strong enough to take over," Victoria said before she turned around knowing that Diego would follow her.

"I hear footsteps. So you know what we talked about we know nothing about them it looks like Victoria isn't in the knowledge yet. We can't disturb the past, alright?" Lucifer whispered quickly.

Trixie only nodded. She knew Lucifer never lied to her so that meant he had a reason for asking to keep all of this a secret, just in time to see Victoria appear again with a tall dark man and what seemed like a young servant.

That young servant must be Felipe." thought Trixie without letting anyone know what she was thinking.

"Senor Morningstar, this is Diego De La Vega, he will help your friend. You can trust him." Victoria said while Diego took a step to the cart to take Chloe over that way he could help her. Lucifer hesitated for a minute although he knew he could trust Diego with Chloe.

"It's alright, Lucifer. Let them help mommy." Trixie said softly. Victoria smiled at how the little girl comforted the strange but handsome man. It was obvious that the woman in his arms was precious to him. Lucifer smiled to Trixie before he trusted the life of his detective in the hands of Diego De La Vega. Diego took Chloe from Lucifer before he turned toward Felipe, "Bring water and cloths towards the library. Felipe nodded and ran inside with Diego hot in his heels there was no time to lose.

"Wait where is he taking the det.. ," Lucifer sighed, "Where is he taking Chloe?" Lucifer asked when he jumped off the cart. Victoria smiled, "I know my way around the house, I will bring you to her." Lucifer nodded before he helped Trixie from the cart. Victoria noticed that they weren't used to driving a cart but she didn't know how that seemed possible, she could handle a cart on her own at that age. They were dressed oddly too. She would ask them later today.

"Where did that mister go with mommy?" Trixie asked innocently. Victoria crouched down to be at her eye level, "Diego is helping your mommy now sweetie, I will bring you to her now."

Trixie smiled and embraced the young woman with such a power that she almost fell in the sand before walking back towards Lucifer and took her little hand in his.

"Come on, follow me," Victoria said before turning around and started to walk towards the hacienda.

Lucifer/Zorro

Michael groaned when he looked into one of his clouds. This wasn't supposed to happen. They were supposed to be separated by time. Chloe being injured wasn't enough for him because he knew when his brother had the chance that he would help her with one of his feathers. Michael had always been jealous of his brother even after his fall he had the respect of most of his siblings. He had done what most of them only dreamed off. He used to have a team member in Uriel and Amenadiel but Uriel was death, died a hero in Michael his eyes and Amenadiel had changed a lot since his time on earth. Instead of hating Lucifer he was helping him now. A huge betrayal in his eyes of the archangel but he would deal with his dark sibling later on.

He needed a plan first he took a cloak to mask himself and opened his wings. Another reason why he was jealous at the devil, he had the brightest wings of them all and didn't lose them after his fall, heck even his devil wings were more beautiful than his gray-white wings with only black points on the larger ones. He took a large sack of earthly pesos and flew back down.

LUCIFER/ZORRO

Victoria arrived in the library where Diego was looking at the wound on Chloe's head.

"Can you help her, Diego?" She asked worriedly

"She needs a lot of rest now, I did what I could. The rest is up to her." Diego sighed looking towards the strangers, "I think it's best that you stay here. Are you the girl's father?" He asked Lucifer

Lucifer startled by the assumption that he would be a father shook his head heavily.

"No, the father isn't present at the moment but she is in my care as long as Chloe is out." the devil would never just leave Trixie in the hands of someone he didn't know, legend or not. She had grown on him and the detective would surely kill him if something happened to her.

"Alright, I will order for her guestroom to be adjusted to yours that way you can still protect her when necessary. Can I talk to you later today?" He asked Lucifer curiously.

"If you must, I don't like to leave my friend alone for too long." Lucifer sighed he knew it was rude and normally he was all in for doing favors but Chloe was way too precious for him to lose her again, not knowing what else his brother had in store for them.

"I will stay with her for a few hours. I don't mind." Victoria smiled.

Lucifer sighed, "I will be glad to talk to you, as long as Chloe is in the trusted hands of this nice lady."

"That is a deal then, I will saddle us a horse and I will give you a tour on the ranch," Diego said. He just needed to know where they came from. They weren't your usual Americano's.

"Can I come too?" Trixie asked cheerfully

"Of course, little hellion, but you are riding with me," Lucifer said almost fatherly. He was shocked himself but he couldn't help feeling responsible for the little girl who had managed to melt him even with his eversion of children.

"I will see you outside in a few minutes then," Diego said hoping he was doing the right thing sensing something strange about these people.

"We will be right there but I want to see Chloe first if you don't mind."

Diego nodded before turning on his heels towards the stables.
