I do not own Lucifer.
So, I really hope I got everyone's voice right.
"Ann's cool, I like her." Ella half announced to the room as she examined the body further.
"Ella, you just met her. Besides, you like everyone." Dan commented.
"Not true, there are some people I don't like. People who hurt animals for one. But I do have to admit, there is something different about Ann. I mean did you see the look she and Lucifer shared? They totally did it."
"That was basically a given." Dan scoffed.
"What's a given?" Chloe entered the lab.
"That Ann and Lucifer slept together. Who does he think he is, bringing his one-night stands to a crime scene." Dan responded.
"Shockingly, I am grateful. She was right about the brands. And I don't care that Lucifer slept with her, why should I care?" Chloe got a bit defensive.
"Though you guys have to agree, she isn't really his type. Way too smart and I can't see her throwing herself at him." Ella commented, realizing Chloe was getting slightly uncomfortable.
Jane spent the next few hours at the motel lobby. She took about fifteen minutes to hide all her books and weapons before calling down to the front desk to ask for housekeeping. Now, curled up on a worn couch, she read a book on comparative religions. A hour later, she returned to her room. It was spotless, too bad she was going to mess it up again.
The entire books collection came back out and she had the brands in her mind. Four signs that meant fire. Four different signs from different cultures that meant fire. Whose work was this? Why was it happening? She certainly had her work cut out for her.
After she had gotten all the information she could out of the books she had, Jane decided to return them to Lux and see what else was inside the treasure chest. She packed up the five and headed out.
It was nearing early evening, not yet happy hour so the club wasn't yet crowded. Shockingly, Jane didn't feel the need to rush upstairs, she didn't want people to think the wrong thing about her.
So, Jane took a seat at the bar. She chucked to herself, when was the last time she sat at a bar for fun? She ordered her usual and drank in silence. Jane placed a few bills on the bar and headed walked away. Jane waited patiently for the elevator. The door opened, and she walked inside. A moment later, it opened to the penthouse.
She stepped out and opened her mouth to greet Lucifer but realized he wasn't alone. And no words came from her open mouth.
"Really, he makes you speechless? Jane, this is my brother, Amenadiel." Lucifer said casually.
"We already met, Luci." Amenadiel stated, his voice just as she remembered it.
"Really, you have?" Lucifer asked, his eyes going between both Jane and his brother.
Six years ago.
Jane was pretty sure she was more than half covered in dirt but she didn't care. The crate was just within reach. And inside the crate, pieces of the true cross.
She paused and took a deep breath, nothing would ever compare to how she felt right now. Her fingers closed on the lid and prepared to lift it.
But a blinding light stopped her, forcing her to hide behind the crate.
"Those are not for human eyes." Came a loud voice.
Was it possible? Was it really the All Almighty speaking to her? Did she dare look up?
"Those pieces hold power that is too much for mortals." The voice spoke again.
"I know that. I want to move it to a safer place." Jane said.
The light diminished, and she heard footsteps. Then someone stood in front of her.
"Look at me."
Jane forced her eyes up. There stood a well-built man with huge black wings. "You're an angel." How any words left Jane's mouth was beyond her.
"Amenadiel, God's favored son. You want to protect the world?"
"Yes, mankind only needs faith to believe, not physical items. And if this power fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be devastating."
"To say the least. But are you being truthful or just saying what I want to hear?"
"Is it possible to lie to an angel?" She asked.
"Many have tried and failed. I will hold you to your word, human." He nodded and before Jane's wide eyes, flew off
"So, what are you doing here with my brother? Or do I want to know?" Amenadiel asked.
"I had a favor to cash in. I need Lucifer's help to protect the world." Jane answered, still feeling odd talking to an angel.
"It's not your job to protect the world, mortal."
"Actually it is." She brought her hand up to her eye. Why didn't her secret organization have a sign or handshake? Of course, no one ever expected to run into an angel.
Immediately, Amenadiel understood. "You're part of the Eye? I never knew them to take on such young recruits."
"Have to make sure the agents can do the job, I guess."
"The Eye? What is the Eye, brother? I never heard if it." Lucifer felt so left out.
"It's on a need to know basis…" Jane began.
"And you clearly don't need to know." Amenadiel finished. "Things like this can happen when you leave the Silver City, Luci." He turned back to Jane. "Don't fail, you know what can happen." And he walked out of the penthouse.
Now while Jane wanted to question why an angel walked out as opposed to flying out but another thing was on her mind. "Luci?" She looked at Lucifer.
"Childhood nickname my brother still uses. Still have to come up with one for him."
"You had a childhood?" This was an entirely new concept for Jane. Baby angels, toddler angels, teen age angels. Well, currently one of those stood in front of her.
"Yes, this doesn't just happen." He pointed to himself. "It took eons and eons. So, on to a research session?"
"Of course, why else would I be here?" Jane asked and placed the books on the table. There had been a sick feeling in her stomach since the first body. Something wasn't right or she was missing something very important.
Lucifer cleared his throat to remind her he was in the room and Jane promptly ignored him. "All work and no play makes Jane a dull girl." He sighed.
"You know I'm anything but dull." She shot back, opening up a book and leafing through its pages.
"Yes I do. So is there a Mr. Mysterious object collector member of the Eye who saves the world on the side?" Lucifer asked.
"That would be my father." Jane answered. There was silence from Lucifer. "Oh, that's not what you meant. You asked if there was a special man in my life."
"I was about to kick you out of here."
"My dad taught me everything and eventually got me into in the Eye. I loved travelling and going to museums with him…"
"Let me finish the story. After your father's tragic death during a mission, you took up the mantle, vowed to save the world and in the process, hope to average his death." Lucifer leaned back, feeling he knew her full story.
Jane raised an eye brow at him and stared for a moment. "My father is still alive. Last time we spoke, he was somewhere in Asia."
"Oh."
"Why do you assume the worst?"
"Because humans are the worst." He answered her.
"Well, you have seen more than I have."
"Getting back to the original question. Do you have a man? Or woman? I don't judge."
"Shouldn't you ask that before you sleep with someone?" She chuckled. "No, I don't have someone waiting for me in every country. I don't have anyone."
"It sounds lonely."
"I stay busy and try not to think about it. I don't have friends or connections." She suddenly stopped and turned to him. "Do you ever feel like that?"
Lucifer was taken back. "Feel like what?"
"You're the Devil, not the sort of person to be friends with. I'm guessing those you might be close to have no idea who you really are and just see the charming personality. You can't be open and honest with anyone. Are you lonely?"
"I run a club, I am always surrounded by people."
"You can be lonely without being alone." Jane couldn't believe she was having this sort of conversation with the Devil.
"Last time I checked, you weren't my therapist."
"And I wouldn't want to be, there isn't enough money in this world to have that job." She shook her head. "Do you have a therapist?"
"Yes, I go and chat with Linda every week."
"So, you admit you have issues and you go to work on them? That is shocking." Things got odder by the moment.
"That's what I do, shock people, make them understand and give into their deepest desires." He stood up and walked over to her.
"The only thing I desire right now is to catch the killer. Besides this is me, I have seen everything. Nothing should shock me anymore."
"That sounds like a challenge." Lucifer leaned in close and ran a finger across her shoulders.
Her eyes shot up to meet his. Connections weren't normal for her, everything was unusual about their relationship, if one could call it a relationship. But she could give into her desires, no one would get hurt. "You going to take the challenge?" Had she waited too long to get back with him?
"I never back down from a challenge." Lucifer picked her up and carried her to bed. "Prepare to be shocked."
They can get personal, Jane is super curious about him, so she feels comfortable asking him questions. And she has a job that allows her to save the world, so cool.
Yes, we all know Lucifer is hot and yeah Jane does jump into bed with him a handful of times.
