Episode Twenty Six - The End
Lucifer was both looking forward to this episode and dreading it all at the same time. Ella had given him the title of it and just grinned like a mad woman at him and told him this one episode spawned a ton of AU fanfics, whatever that meant.
Depending on if he liked the episode or not, he may actually read some of those fanfics. If it really was that interesting.
Taking a deep breath, he glanced at Ella and frowned. "No, seriously, can you stop looking at me like that? It's making me uncomfortable."
Ella shook her head. "Nope, no can do. This is totally going to depress the hell out of you. And i am so looking forward to watching your reaction to this one. You're going to be more interesting to watch for me than the episode, since I'll be watching it again soon enough with Dan and Charlotte."
He winced at that. "Well, that sounds fun. Shall we just get this horror over with then?" he said, before pointing the remote at the television. He pushed play.
He laughed at Dean's line about thinking of God's plan for him too much to the Preacher and again at Castiel's statement over running out of minutes on his phone.
He did pause it before the title splash happened to stare at poor Castiel standing on the side of a road in the middle of nowhere after Dean had just hung up on him. "Wow, I feel sorry for him. You just know he is going to take that literally and just stand there on that corner for 4 hours. Or more. Poor sod has no luck, does he?"
Ella grinned at him. Her eyes hadn't left him since he had begun it, taking to watching him as she said. Great. He shifted in his seat and pushed play.
He paused it again after Dean and Sam's chat on the phone. For once he wasn't actually angry at Dean for what he said. Again, he was being up front and honest to Sam. It was a nice change. He wondered how long it would last.
That didn't mean that conversation didn't hurt like hell though. "Ouch. Poor Sam. Finally getting in touch with Dean because he realised he can't just sit this one out only to get rejected. But it's also an understandable rejection. Dean's right. Best to keep the vessels separated so that the Archs have trouble finding them. Do we have a whole season of these two fighting on different fronts, or do they get back together by the end of this episode?"
The way he saw things, it likely would be one or the other. Right now, he would prefer the separation, as Dean was a lot more likeable on his own.
Ella's grin didn't move from her face. If anything it got wider. "You'll just have to watch to find out. Push play again, Lucifer. Push the magic button to find out more."
He rolled his eyes at her, but did as he was told and hit said magic button.
He paused it again a few seconds later when Dean woke up in a place totally different to where he went to sleep. "Wait. What?"
Ella laughed at him for that one. "Watch and learn, Luce. Watch and learn."
He pushed play again and instead of pausing, he glared at her once Dean stuck his head out the window only to see a totally destroyed town with no people in sight. "No, really, what is going on?!"
She laughed at him again, throwing her head back in obvious delight. "Spoilers. Not telling. You'll have to watch to find out."
He rolled his eyes but turned his glare back to the screen.
He paused it again at the giant croatoan written on the building. He blinked at that one. "Oh. Shit. So, that's what happened?"
Ella didn't say a word, just kept staring at him with that creepy smile on her face. Wasn't she sore yet?
He shifted again before pushing play. That didn't last long. He paused it again at the sign saying it was 2014. "Wait. Isn't the show in this season 2010? He's in the future? Oh, well, that makes sense now I think about it. Apocalypse and all."
Ella hummed at him. "Yep. Keep on watching."
He sighed loudly, before doing as he was once again told. He was getting really fed up of having no back and forth this episode. He usually liked it. Except when they started fighting.
He threw up his hands and glared when he found out it was Zachariah who was the cause of Dean's sudden appearance 4 years into the future. "Oh of course. My fictional massive douchebag of a bro."
Ella giggled at that one.
He laughed when Dean was too busy mourning over the state of his car to hear anyone coming up behind him and got decked by his future self.
He paused it again after the thing with Rhonda Hurley was said. He smiled at the screen. "Oh, Dean. A kink for ladies underwear. Nice! Now this is the quality content I am here for. Tell me all about how you like wearing pink frilly satin knickers, Dean."
Ella laughed again. "Holy shit, I know right? Now that would be nice to see."
Now Lucifer had the image in his head of Dean naked but for those underwear on. "I would like to see that. Definitely."
Ella nodded, before turning to the screen. "Can you push play again."
"Hmm," he said, "I'm too busy right now fantasising."
Ella rolled her eyes and hit his shoulder. "Fantasise later, watch now."
He grinned, but pushed play anyway. Maybe he would actually see the underwear? That would definitely be nice.
He laughed again once the future Dean had left and Dean called himself a dick. "Yes, Dean. You are a dick. Now you understand my pain."
Ella whacked him on the shoulder again for that one.
He paused it again after the conversation between Dean and Castiel which ended with his poor not brother saying that life happened to him. "Wait, did Cassie chop off his wings too? I know it hurts fictional bro, but not enough to be stoned 24/7. What happened to him? I don't like this. You're right that this episode is depressing."
Nodding, Ella patted him on the shoulder. "I know, dude. I know. And trust me, it just gets worse."
His disappointment and sadness was probably showing on his face, but he didn't rightly care at that point. He just wanted this depressing alternate universe fest to be over with already and get back to a world where Sam was alive and if not well, at least functional.
He pushed play again, dreading in what the worse than this could possibly be.
He grinned when the Colt was brought in. Maybe they had a shot after all. And that was a bad pun even in his own mind. And with Dean ready to kill the Devil, may as well enjoy that ride while it happened. At least there was something to look forward to.
He paused it again to stare at the screen in absolute misery at hearing that Sam was the Devil now. That he had said yes and invited fictional him in.
Ella laughed at his misery by his side and he turned to glare at her, eyes burning with hellfire. "Oh, yes, I find this very funny Ella. Dean is about to go kill his brother because he is the devil now. Very funny hahaha."
That got her to shut up. It also got her to flinch and turn her gaze to the screen. "Yeah, sorry. It's not the episode I'm watching. It's you."
He nodded. "Yeah, I get that. And apparently my pain is amusing to you."
She sighed and looked down at the floor. "Sorry. I won't laugh at you like that again."
"Good. I don't like it."
He was really not much in the mood to put up with this shit much right now. He pushed play so he had something else to look at and be angry with.
He paused it again after the conversation Dean and Castiel had in the car, now even more depressed with the episode. "You turn human and you decide the best thing to do is emulate Dean high on drugs? Oh, Cassie. You poor miserable creature.."
No, this was worse than just cutting his wings off. Even Lucifer, who was mortal when in the presence of one woman couldn't understand the horror of living Castiel must be going through.
He pushed play, not even bothering to look in Ella's direction.
He paused it again at fictional him's introduction wile in Sam. "Oh no. Fictional me is hot. Is that...wrong to think?"
Ella snorted but didn't laugh. "Lucifer, I'm pretty sure you think you you is hot."
He nodded at that. "Well, yes, but not hot as in I find myself sexually attractive. That would just be weird, wouldn't it. I don't look in a mirror and think 'I'm so hot, I'm going to go have sex with myself right now' and kiss the mirror."
Ella just stared at him weirdly at that one. "Okay, taking the metaphor way too far."
He gave her that one and agreed with her. "Yeah true. Let's just get this episode finished with." He pushed play again.
He didn't stop it for the rest of the episode. At least it ended on a happier note. Dean had taken off with the lesson not that he should say Yes to Michael, but that he and Sam shouldn't be separated.
"Well, that answered my question I asked at the beginning. I knew it was one or the other. I still would have liked these two separated, but hey. Let's see what shenanigans they get up to together, while keeping each other from saying yes and keeping each other human."
Ella sighed. "Yeah true. Look. I'm going to go now. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Go have fun in the club. I'm going to go home and rewatch this episode by myself."
He nodded. "Okay. Have some depressing fun with that then. Night."
"Night," she said as she got up and went to the lift. She was gone without another word passing her lips.
He had scared her and she had run away when the episode ended.
He hoped he hadn't damaged their friendship by being a dick to her.
Note - Just a heads up, sometimes Ace people actually DO have sex. Some have libidos but don't find people sexually attractive, but want to have sex anyway. Some consent to sex with their partners if they are comfortable with it, if ever. Some feel they have to have sex to fit in and do so. I did say I found Castiel sex neutral. Here he is high as a kite and performs orgies for the girls at the camp. Who did he learn how to be human from? Yeah, Dean. Except Castiel, unlike Dean, seems to be on good footing with all his little harem of girls, there.
Headcanon - Ella is so accepting of Lucifer, she would even accept him with blazing Hellfire in his eyes. Even if it does spook her.
Headcanon - Dean would look damn good in ladies underwear. I like that he has this as a kink.
