The mirror didn't look impressive to Lucifer, but he could feel the ebb and flow of magic calling from it. No wonder the ranger had mistaken it as the thing Lucifer was after. Lucifer sighed and put his hand on his face. The ranger had been so close.

"So why did you decide to bring me this instead of Sydney?" Lucifer growled.

"It was the only magical item near her, and I couldn't get her. You never said anything about her being a witch!"

Lucifer's eyebrows went up in interest. That demon had said that Syd was possibly related to Crowley, so that would mean that Syd was also distantly related to that witch Rowena too.

"Well, that's new, but aren't you a witch too? You're telling me that you couldn't handle one untrained witch," Lucifer said mockingly.

"It wasn't just her. Her fairy boyfriend attacked me too!"

Lucifer's body went rigid, and he stared at Daniel with pure malice.

"Boyfriend?"

"At least that's the impression I got," Daniel admitted, not noticing Lucifer's fury. "He didn't give up even after I put him in iron chains. And she looked as shocked as I felt when she used magic."

"And?"

"And all I'm saying is that it takes a lot for an 'untrained witch' to toss a full grown man."

Lucifer scoffed and snapped his fingers. A couple of demons came into the room to carry Daniel back to the dungeon.

"Thanks to the useless ruckus you caused, I now have more work to do. We can discuss your failure some other time," Lucifer said as the demons forcefully took Daniel away. Syd's voice now echoed through his mind as she summoned him.

Flying into her dream, he noticed that they were in a room in the Winchester bunker, and it was so different from Syd's usual dream location that he got distracted. Syd dropped a lit book of matches as he appeared. Once again Lucifer was trapped in holy fire. Lucifer sighed and realized that he should have anticipated that move. But the rage in the back of his mind had started to blaze through him again, and it was hard for him to think straight.

"Hello," Lucifer greeted her with a smile and tried to hide his fury.

"You couldn't even wait three days before you tried to stab me in the back," Syd accused and eyed him warily.

"Oh, but you didn't agree yet to my truce. What was I supposed to do? Call everything off while I waited to get an answer from the two people whom despise me most. And what's this about a fairy boy? Making new friends?" Lucifer asked as his smile faltered.

Syd took a few steps back, infuriating Lucifer even more.

"Yeah. Just because you don't have any friends doesn't mean that I don't," Syd retorted.

"What does that mean?"

Syd sighed and explained, "I have a theory. I think that the only reason you 'like' me is because I have your grace. You wouldn't even care that I exist if I didn't have it. You just 'like' me because you're chasing after a part of yourself."

Lucifer thought about it for a second. It was true that he'd realized his affection for Syd after he'd found out about his grace, but that wasn't it. He had been drawn to her even before he'd touched her soul.

"No," he replied. "That's not it. Did they not tell you about my deal with Daniel? Not even a little."

Syd looked uncomfortable and said, "Sean told me something about it but not a lot."

"I promised him that if I hurt you I'd be sealed away. How do you think I would get power from you, Syd? Do you remember the last time I touched your soul?"

Syd winced. Touching someone's soul was extremely painful, and Syd seemed to remember that part perfectly.

"I like you, and I'll give you anything if you would just come to me. I won't hurt you. I promise," Lucifer pleaded as Syd looked away.

"Yeah, but you already have. You've been harassing me in my sleep, and that's only with the stuff that I remember. Can you truthfully say that you've done nothing wrong?" Syd's tone was angry but calm.

Lucifer was struck dumb for a few moments. That was true enough although thankfully not enough to impede on his deal with the ranger.

"No, but you're at fault too. You can't just tease me and expect me not to react."

"Is this about the note I left at the cabin? Okay, I apologize for that. I thought that you'd find it funny. Clearly I was wrong. I'll agree to your deal. I'll summon you once a week, and you can come into my dreams only when you have something. I'll give you information in exchange for you giving me information, but only the condition that you return the mirror."

"Oh, is it that important to you?"

"It belongs to my friend, so yes," Syd stated matter-of-factly.

Lucifer grimaced at her mentioning the fairy boy, but the fairy would be dealt with due time.

"Okay, but I have a condition too."

"What?"

"This deal is sealed with a kiss."

"No. You already got your kiss," Syd argued with a slight blush. "You kissed me, remember?"

"Of course, and now you kiss me. It doesn't have to be on the lips, and I'll only come when you call for me. You want the mirror back, don't you?"

Syd bit her lip and thought it over. Finally she sighed and said, "Okay. But you don't move, and close your eyes."

Lucifer obeyed as he could feel the fire going out around him. Her small hand was on the side of his face, and he felt his breathing almost stop as her lips touch his cheek softly. Her sweet scent nearly got the best of him as she pulled away, but he stopped himself just in time. Kissing her would be a mistake at the moment, and he didn't want to ruin it. Lucifer ran his fingers through her hair with a sigh and opened his eyes. He shocked her with a tender smile before flying away.
