It. Is. BACK!

I got most of season 5 done during NaNo, just missing out on the last 3 episodes. But that won't take me long to do. There may be one or two days break in between those 3 chapters as I post them One for writing it the other for editing. So much editing.

Hope you all still enjoy it. Or, considering the episode, Hope y'all still enjoy it.

Episode 24 - Good God, Y'all

Sundays suck. That was the first thought Lucifer had as he was once again glared at by an angry priest wanting him out of his church. Personally, he would love to go, but part of his deal with Ella was to show up every Sunday, so here he was.

If Dad didn't like it He could show His face down here personally to tell him off. He wouldn't leave for a yes man. Only Dad or Ella telling him he could stop would release him from this troublesome burden.

As it was, he actually enjoyed riling the priest up. If for no other reason than the entertainment value. Father Maloney had stopped crossing himself every time he walked in the church, possibly realising it did absolutely nothing at all, but the glaring hadn't stopped.

He could tell it was really getting to Ella. Hurting his friend like that just wasn't allowed in his books, but a confrontation could wait until Ella spoke up herself. He wasn't about to start the inevitable fight.

As it was, he had started introducing himself around the church goers and most thought it either a stage name, having heard of him and his club, or thought him having extremely cruel parents.

He never said anything about that last one, but boy was he tempted.

By the time he got back to his flat, with Ella in tow, his friend was beginning to cheer up a lot faster than he thought.

"Okay, I am guessing you like this episode. You were upset at your church, but now you are all excited. Anything I should know about?"

She grinned widely at him. "Not a massive spoiler, so I will tell you. Ellen and Jo show up in this episode."

He blinked in confusion at that one. "Wait...didn't they die at the end of season 2?"

Ella shook her head. "Nah, they only found Ash's body, remember?"

"Huh, yeah. I thought it was implied they died as well. Good for the women to live though. That's good. Maybe they actually get something more out of them this season than the others."

Ella rolled her eyes. "They aren't bad characters, Lucifer."

He grinned at her. "I never said they were bad characters. They just aren't used enough for me to have a solid opinion on them."

Ella looked at him, before sighing and leaning against his shoulder. "Okay, I'll give you that they totally are underused. Now push play and get this started."

He pushed play, actually looking forward to this episode. She hadn't said anything about his fictional self being in it and he knew she liked Ellen and Jo, so maybe he would enjoy it as well.

He paused it to stare at the screen before laughing at Dean's comment about giving Bobby a back massage to cheer him up.

"Aww, well, it's a nice thought, but I doubt it would work," he stated, glad that this was starting out with Dean not being a total dick to Sam. In fact, with the short amount of time so far, Dean was being oddly chummy for someone who only last night's episode said he didn't trust Sam.

Ella snorted at what he said, before reaching for the remote. He took the hint and pushed play again.

He was upset about Castiel not being able to heal Bobby, because he wasn't too thrilled about his favourite character being stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of his life either. But, on the upside, at least he was angry about it. Also, he was probably depressed and didn't want to speak or move much. He understood that well enough. He was like that after his Fall.

He paused it when Castiel said he was going to try and find God. "Wait...fictional Dad isn't in Heaven? Where is he then? Did he go off to start a new universe? That would so figure. Poor Cassie, stuck looking for someone not likely to be found."

Ella patted his shoulder at that. "Yeah. Cass still has faith in his dad though. Nothing bad has happened to him from God. He got kicked out of Heaven by Michael."

Lucifer nodded. "Yeah, that's another thing. What a dick move from my big bro. What did Cassie even do?"

Ella giggled at that. "He sided with the Winchesters instead of Heaven's plans for them, remember? It was only three nights ago."

He sighed. "Yeah, I remember. I don't see that as a reason to Fall though. yet again, I got kicked out for less, so... That figures."

He pushed play again, before he started sinking into his own ruminations of self doubt and depression.

Lucifer snorted at the flatbread line from Dean. Ella by his side laughed too. That helped cheer him up a little. At least he wasn't alone.

At Castiel's rant over falling for the Winchesters, he paused it again to stare at the screen. Mainly to stare, because this was getting a bit too deep and personal for him. He could relate to that feeling so much.

Ella poked his side. "Luce, you okay?"

He sighed and shook his head. "Not really. I did not expect this show to hit so damn close to home. Cassie is just... I want to hug him, because no one was there to hug me and I know what he's feeling. Except for Falling because of the Winchesters, obviously."

Small hands began rubbing at his back in a faux massage. "Well, this is his journey too, this season. So, some things will hit hard, and others won't. Now, come on. Push play."

He did so reluctantly. He wasn't sure if he was up to Castiel's journey right now, but at least it wasn't focusing just on the Winchesters any longer.

He grinned at Dean's comment about feeling naked without his amulet.

He also liked that the music playing when Sam and Dean entered the town was actually playing on a car radio. Also, the hilarity of Spirit in the Sky playing on an episode where one character was off trying to find God, while the others were fighting demons. That was fun.

He paused it again after Sam pushed Dean into a wall after Dean implied through looks that he couldn't abide Sam being anywhere near a demon without wanting its blood. And it hit him like a ton of bricks. "Wait...Was Sam not affected by the blood at all? He should have been. He didn't drink any and it looked more like a shock when he got the blood off the knife. But it's an addiction. The blood should have affected him, even if he is now clean of it. That won't go away. Easier to cope with, sure but it won't go away."

Ella hummed next to him. "Addictions are pains in the butt like that, yeah."

Lucifer sighed and shook his head. "The town isn't infested with demons. It just makes them think it is. Just...what?"

Ella grinned up at him. "Watch and see, Lucifer. Push play. You'll soon find out."

Raising an eyebrow, he did as she suggested and pushed play again. And yeah, apart from the whole Castiel angst and Dean obviously not trusting a damn thing Sam suggests or does, this was actually an interesting and good episode he was enjoying.

After Dean and Ellen figured out what was happening he perked up a bit. "Ooh, War, the Horseman riding a cherry mustang. Nice."

Ella nodded. "Yep. Shh."

He didn't stop the episode for the rest of the time it played, more interested in watching it than making comments. It was, indeed, a good episode and the Horsemen were riding their way through the world. Or, at least, in America.

Ella did hit him on the shoulder and grin at Dean's Mount Doom line, geek that she was.

At the end of the credits, he turned it off and sighed. "Well, I for one am glad that both Sam and Dean are on the right page, even though both think it sucks about Sam quitting hunting until he is in a more stable mindset. That's good. And look, they're being honest and up front with each other, even if the truth hurts. I actually appreciate that. Is Sam going to get a therapist? He needs a therapist. If he was real, I would so refer him to Linda."

Ella threw her head back and laughed at that one. "Oh, he doesn't really get a therapist, no. But he does talk to a therapist at one point. But, spoilers. Also, Linda would make a kick ass therapist for hunters. Are there such things in the real world?"

Lucifer shrugged. "Not really, and sometimes. Depends on how active the supernatural and celestial are being in any given century, really. This one has been pretty quiet so far."

Ella hummed at that and nodded. "Yeah. Well, I am meeting up with Dan and Charlotte again. Weekends are our catch up night. We are on season 2 now. So, catch up to you pretty damn fast."

He smiled at that, because it would be good to add two more to their nights.

"Well, enjoy season 2 with them. I will be down in the club. Good night."

Ella got up and waved at him from the lift. "You too. See you tomorrow night!"

With that Ella was gone and he was left to think of what would happen when the End Times actually does come.

Note - I was actually surprised at the end of this episode the first time I watched it that they split up, as Dean refuses to let Sam go anywhere away from him normally. I thought it would be good for Sam. Yeah.

Headcanon - Linda so would become therapist to hunters if they were real.
