Spoiler policy is put into place for real this chapter. Ella will hold to it as best she can. In this chapter, Lucifer get's introduced to Anna!
Episode Nine – I Know What You Did Last Summer
He was waiting for her on the couch, ready with a big bowl full of hot popcorn when Ella arrived that night. She grinned widely at him, as she took her seat and immediately dug in. "Hm, nice. So! I know what you did last summer. Either this one is about Sam's past High School adventures, or I don't remember what this episode is at all. So, let's start."
He stared at her, before reaching for the remote. After he pushed play, he grabbed a handful of popcorn with his free hand and shoved it into his mouth. He looked forward to learning more about Sam's childhood, since most flashback episodes generally tended to show Dean's point of view. It will be a nice change.
She smacked him. "Ooh, oh yeah, I remember this. Anna! This is a two parter so get ready for a cliffhanger."
"Ugh, great..." he replied, letting his head drop to the couch behind him, as he watched a red headed woman in a hospital draw some pretty interesting things on a drawing pad. Having a therapy session with a woman who looked like Alex Kingston. He wouldn't mind her as a therapist, hah. Of course, he found out only after sleeping with Linda that sleeping with your therapist can get them fired and it is seen as really bad, so it was a good thing he and Linda had stopped the extra payments and stuck with money.
He paused it and cocked his head to the side. "Huh, she can hear the angels and that they are losing. And way to tell us there are 600 seals and 66 need to be broken. Could you get any more cliché, show. Oh, and there I am being talked about bringing the apocalypse. I think people are forgetting something..."
Ella looked at him. "Hmm, what?"
"i don't bring the end of all things, I bring change. Surely you can't say life has been in any way remotely boring since I came into your life."
She laughed at that and shook her head. "Nope, definitely can't. And change is good! More people should learnt that. And, of course, it's what a lot of God fearing people fear most."
He sighed out long and low. "Yeah, that is, unfortunately, very true."
He pushed play again, because even with the mentions of him, he was finding this Anna woman interesting. Was she a prophet? She could be a prophet. He kept that one silent and to himself.
He rose an eyebrow at her being able to tell demons from humans and grinned as she telekinetically moved the chest of drawers to smack into it. "Hah, I like this Anna! She's feisty!"
He paused it after Sam shot Dean down about talking how he got involved with Ruby and his flashback to trying to make a demon deal to bring Dean back. He ran his hands over his face. "Ooh, boy, I see where this is going. Dean was the first seal, wasn't he? I don't know how, but he was needed in Hell to break a seal. Question is could any Winchester do it or was it just Dean?"
Ella punched him for his questioning. "Shut up and watch and it will be told to you. No spoilers from here on out on big important stuff. Just small details, that's it. This is kinda really huge plot wise. So, no spoilers."
He pouted at her, but turned back to the television. "Fine, no spoilers. Still kind of uncomfortable with demons calling me their lord or their saviour or their father. I mean sometimes me and Maze will joke but that's all it is, jokes. Just...we're not even the same species."
"Adoption dude."
"I didn't adopt them!"
She grinned at him and put her head on his shoulder. "Who said you were the one that did the adopting?"
He stared at what he could see of the top of her head until he went cross eyed. "Huh. Well, thanks for the nightmares."
She patted his shoulder. "No problem. You're very welcome."
With a grin, he pushed play again.
He didn't push pause again for quite a while, instead getting really into the episode. He liked that Anna wasn't a prophet so much as she was attuned to angels. It gave a reason why the demons wanted her so badly without giving a really stupid reason for it. it made perfect sense.
He liked how she came out for Sam, even though some angels don't like him. Of course, some did not mean all. That was good. What he liked less was Dean's reaction to her The Dean. He did get why the angels talked about him all the time though, if he really was the first seal broken. Maybe the angels tried but got him out too late.
Poor Castiel must have been beating himself up about it. And, yeah, it did feel weird to think of Cassie as a guy.
And then Ruby crashed the party with the news that the demons had followed them there and were arriving.
And then there was a fight scene he actually enjoyed with a demon called Alastair? One of Dean's torturers by the sounds of it. A demon Dean definitely recognized, and considering his eyes were white, a really high ranking one in the show. Sam couldn't exorcise him back to Hell and the demon knife didn't work.
Then Sam and Dean saw one way out and took it. Jumping out the window.
It wasn't until he saw a wound being stitched up that he paused it again and spent a few seconds staring at the wound, before speaking. "Huh. Alright, I am really enjoying this episode. That was a great little fight scene but, and I couldn't help but notice this... the big bad demon Alastair now has the demon killing knife."
Ella nodded against his shoulder and ate some popcorn. "Yep, that was definitely a thing that happened."
He took a deep breath and, before he could say anything further pushed play. This episode was flying by, he was enjoying it that much.
He never thought he'd think that about an episode that mentioned angels so much.
He paused it again when Dean pushed Sam about Ruby again. The moment he said he deserved to know more. "Oh, screw you! No, you don't! You want to know. You can't stand not knowing, so you're guilting him into telling you. Uuuuugh, I don't like Dean and the way he treats Sam!"
Ella blinked up at him, before moving off of his shoulder. He grabbed a handful of popcorn and angrily chewed on it.
"I never saw it that way before."
He glared at her. "Yeah, well, you've never been emotionally abused. I'm sensitive to it."
She frowned. "Never thought of that, either. Huh."
He ran a hand through his hair and moaned. "I bet he says nothing about Hell in return, because he's that much of a bastard." He pushed play again before he could go off anymore. Only to see Sam fall for Dean's guilt trip and tells him.
He paused it after Ruby killed the other demon and rubbed at his head. "Sam. Don't drink and drive, you idiot! I get you're suicidal right now, but no! That's a stupid way to die."
Ella giggled at his side. "Hear hear!"
He grinned and pushed play again. Glad that at least the flashback story was interesting and didn't involve Dean guilting Sam into anything. He hoped the rest of the show stayed that way, though he doubted it. Dean had been like that since episode 1.
He paused it again when Dean showed up on screen asking to know what she taught him. He frowned at the screen or a few seconds and for once, it had nothing to actually do with Dean. "Wait. Did...Did Sam actually know about the Apocalypse beginning before Dean even got back? Oh, he has been holding out on us! Huh. I did not guess that."
Ella frowned at the screen. "I didn't actually remember that. Huh, I guess he did, or at least knew that it could happen at least. Huh."
He grinned. "And that was a lot of huh's."
She grinned back and flicked a piece of popcorn into his hair. He plucked it out and ate it, before pushed play again.
He laughed out loud when he realised that Sam was giving a blow by blow account of the first time he and Ruby had sex. "You asked for it, Dean. You don't get to complain about too much information. You ask for details, you get them!"
That had to be one of his favourite moments so far in the show.
Ella laughed by his side.
He paused it to laugh at Dean's apology and thanks to Ruby, because that was hilarious. This episode besides that one Dean moment so far had been excellent. Fun mixed in with actual plot.
He pushed play again until it ended.
He felt sorry for Anna when she found out her parents had died, but was happy that she knew to go to Sam for comfort and not Dean. She asked Sam to make the call, Sam was the one that told her and rubbed her back through the first few seconds of grief, before the angels came.
And then Castiel and Uriel were there, and Ella hadn't warned him about that at all, but it didn't really upset him, as the episode finished before anything much could happen and the words To Be Continued flashed across the screen.
He threw his hands in the air, before stopping the program. "What?! That was an awful place to stop it! Now I have to wait until tomorrow to find out how the heck they get Anna to safety."
Ella looked to him and shrugged. "Told you, man. Cliffhangers. As for Anna, how do you know they get her to safety?"
"Because they must, or it wouldn't be a two parter. I have no idea how though. This has really been a great episode, apart from Dean screwing up in the middle. I liked the Sam and Ruby flashback, so we now have their back story, I like Anna and her hearing angels. I like Ruby saving people, that's interesting for a demon! And I get to see this shows Cassie again. Seriously, I like him. Not the whole killing thing, though in this case I get it. Strategic move that sucks, but I get it."
Ella scowled. "Yeah. Both sides get that."
He grinned at her. "I am looking forward to tomorrow. And it is Friday and I am singing tonight. Good thing I am in the mood for some music."
Ella laughed at that, and shook her head. "You're always up for good music. But I can't stay tonight. Got a date with a nurse."
He smiled widely at her. "Well, have fun."
She stuck her tongue out at him. "Oh, I will. You too. Gotta go and get ready."
He nodded and got up to follow her down.
He wished her luck on her date, before going to the bar. He wondered what he would sing that night. Maybe he should wing it.
Unpopular opinion - Yep, I will forever see Dean as emotionally abusive, sometimes going to physical.
Headcanon - Dean reminds Lucifer of his mother, because the way Dean treats Sam is very similar to the way his Mum treated him. John reminds him of his dad. Two parent figures in Sam's life and both of them like his parents.
Headcanon - I don't know if I have mentioned Lux's schedule properly in this fic. So! Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday are normal nights. Friday and Saturday are all nighters in which he does his sets at the piano and singing. Monday and Wednesday are slow nights at the club. On Wednesdays, he opens the kitchen that was left there from when it was a boxing ring and serves good food and the dancers have the night off. Monday nights bore him at the club, because nothing much happens. The kitchen isn't opened, but the dancers do have the night off then as well.
Headcanon - Ella is Bi. She is less choosy with women then she is with men.
