Episode Three – In The Beginning

Ella had brought popcorn with her and had begun eating it almost immediately, turned half towards the screen and half towards him.

He lunged for the bowl and put it between them so she wasn't hogging the whole lot of the buttery treat.

The episode had just been started and before the Then part had finished he spoke up and stated what was on his mind. "You know, it is really unfair that Cassie's vessel has such pretty eyes. I mean, damn, really petty eyes. It creeps me out a bit that he is really good looking."

Ella laughed and lobbed a piece of popcorn into his hair. He picked it out and ate it.

"Conflicted because you keep thinking he's your sister?"

He grimaced. "Sort of. I mean, I know he's an actor and all, but damn. Still, I should show him off to Cassie. She might like it even."

Ella laughed again, before the show proper started.

They watched as Sam creeped around and Lucifer paused the show shortly after Dean woke up.

"Oh, oh wow. Cassie is a creeper. Holy crap, I...I feel kind of proud of that."

Ella turned to look at him fully. "Proud, why proud? It's creepy is what it is..."

"Of the characterisation, I mean. Cassie is a loner by nature. She is really awkward around others."

Ella blinked, nodded and turned back to the screen, before giggling. "Oh yeah, he sure is awkward. Doesn't get social cues at all. Sayings and turns of phrase go right over his head. Sounds like someone I know..."

Lucifer turned to glare at her. "I am not that bad."

Ella grinned at the screen. "Oh yeah, you really are. Mister I burn money because I didn't get that was a turn of phrase. You come off more as Narcissistic though rather than Autistic, which is more Castiel's deal in the show. Even after almost a decade with humans, he still doesn't get it. You weren't really close to people until, what, last year? That's two years and you're getting better at it. Castiel doesn't ever really get it."

Lucifer winces. "Ouch. Okay, so I miss things. Excuse me for not being human myself. But I try."

She patted him on the shoulder. "And that's all that matters, dude. Keep on keeping on, Lucifer."

They watched further and it wasn't until Dean talked to Castiel in an alleyway that he paused it again and stared at the screen. "Uh, first it was Doctor Who and now it is this. What is it with you and shows involving Time Travel? And, by the way, no. Time is not that bendy. We don't time travel. At least, not all of us. Some of us have to for our jobs, but only on job related business and nothing else. Otherwise, time is just as much a straight line from one second to the next for us as well as it is for you. I don't like this..."

Ella hit his shoulder and glared slightly in his direction. "I happen to like the time travel even if it isn't real. It's a fun concept. And it's kind of comforting to know that this wouldn't just happen to happen."

Lucifer shook his head. "What's he even supposed to be doing there anyway? "Stop it" is not a very descriptive thing to say. Stop what and how? Even if you can time travel, you can't change anything once there. You'd break the world unless it was meant to happen."

"You'll see. Now watch the rest, Lucifer. Seriously, this is annoying."

He pouted. "But I would miss a lot of the episode on aimless rants then and would have to watch it all over again. No thanks. That's why the pause button was invented."

"For you to rant? Okay."

He laughed, shook his head, but he did turn back to the screen and pushed play to watch more of the episode.

He couldn't push pause fast enough when Dean called his mum a babe. He stared at the screen in horror. "Oh, please, no. No. I had enough of that when my mum showed up in the body of Charlotte Richards and decided the best thing to do to get to know humanity was to dance on the tables in Lux. Not to mention that time she stripped completely naked in the middle of the street by the side of my car because the clothes she was wearing were Maze's and completely inappropriate for mum to wear! Seriously, it creeped me out so much."

Ella stared at him then, before covering her mouth. "Oh, shit. You thought your mom was hot?"

"No! I thought Charlotte Richards was hot, not my mum. Talk about conflicted. I swear, she chose that body just to weird me out in every way possible."

"Including sexually? Eww. Lucifer, that was not something I needed to know."

He shook his head. "I don't know? Maybe she actually did do it on purpose. I mean, she was like that you know? I unfortunately inherited her libido..."

"As long as you didn't actually act on that, I guess the conflicting thoughts would be okay."

"Oh, eww, hell no. Never. The thought of doing anything sexual with my mum, no matter how hot the body squicks me, seriously. I am beginning to feel physically sick just thinking of it."

Ella patted his shoulder. "You poor guy. Well, at least she didn't go around telling you every detail of everything, right?"

He stayed quiet and stared at the screen. Ella actually took the silence and ran with it in the right direction. He was hoping it would throw her off the questions.

"Oh, wow, she actually did. Dude, that's like way abusive, since you're her son and all."

He looked down at the remote. "Let's just watch the rest, okay?"

She took that hint loud and clear, nodding at him and he clicked play, only to hear Dean state he was going to Hell for his thoughts...again. He huffed with humour at that, but didn't quite manage a full laugh.

He wasn't too sure he liked this episode...too many memories.

It wasn't paused again until the end and he turned it off, staring at the now blank screen.

"I suddenly feel like this show got a whole lot deeper than it was. Now Dean knows that there is a purpose other than opening the gate to Hell to the whole psychic kids thing. So Sam has a greater purpose in everything and it has something to do with drinking the demon blood when he was a baby. By the way, demon blood doesn't work that way. It's just blood, like any other creature has. No hidden mystical properties to make one psychic while...oh! Now suddenly I get why Ruby is still around. Sam, no, that's disgusting..."

Ella grinned. "Haha, wait until next episode, dude. Things just keep getting deeper. You might actually like it if you stop thinking of the angel characters as family and as characters."

He closed his eyes. "That's going to be a bit difficult when they bring me into it. Then, shit gets personal. Way personal. Wait, am I played by a guy or a girl? Because I have been portrayed both ways before."

"Guy."

"Ah, good."

"Though you do trick people in dreams in a female form."

He blinked. "What."

"Yeah, in this angels can walk through dreams. Is that true or not?"

"Depends on the angel, but not me. I prefer to sleep."

Ella laughed at that. "Okay. So, tomorrow then?"

He frowned, shrugged and nodded. "Yeah, tomorrow."

"Well, I'll see you then."

He got up suddenly and grabbed her hand. "No, wait. It's Saturday."

She stared at him. "Yeah, I know. Has been all day."

He shook his head. "It's half past 8. I have a set in a half hour. Stay and watch."

"Ooh, the voice of an angel, how forward of you, hah. Okay, I'll stay. But I have to leave after that. I need to get up early tomorrow for breakfast with my younger bro."

He grinned. "Deal."

And like the day before, they walked together to the lift and down to the club.

Headcanon - Castiel is Autistic. He will be in all my Supernatural fics, stated or not.

Headcanon - Lucifer's Mum was really creepy and talked about her sex life with Lucifer because she thought he would understand. He was not pleased to know any of it at all. He is completely squicked by it.
