Mar's sleepy haze began to break as she slowly opened her eyes. Feeling something beside her, she moved her arm only to have her hand brush against cool skin. A fleeting confusion filled her mind but she soon remembered the previous night, peppered with curious kisses before she eventually gave in to the day's exhaustion. Sitting up slightly Mar looked over to Lucifer, sprawled out beside her, eyes closed so that he looked like he was sleeping. Her moving caught his attention and he sat up, opening his eyes.

"Morning," He grinned at her sleepy expression.

"Morning," Mar returned blinking her eyes firmly and pulling her hand to her mouth as she yawned the word. She rolled over with a gr

oan, face down on her pillow.

"Still not ready to get up?" He laughed, only receiving a muffled 'fuck off' from Mar. She looked up at Lucifer again with a tired glare, smiling briefly at his tousled blonde hair and slightly sleepy appearance despite his lack of actually sleeping.

"Ok," Mar managed between groans as she pushed herself up and off the bed, pausing a moment to adjust to the cool wood floor before padding her way to the kitchen.

"Where you going?" He called after her.

"Coffee," she yelled back over her shoulder, earning a smile from Luci.

Mar set her sandwich and second cup of coffee on the bar from the kitchen, stretching her arms over the counter. She stepped to walk around to the bar stools but jumped as her phone rang, hitting her hip on the counter's corner.

"Ah fuck," she mumbled reaching out to grab her phone, "Hello?" She groaned

"Hey, Mar"

"Oh, Kris hi, sorry I just ran into the counter," Mar managed with a twinge in her voice as she laughed at herself.

"Of course you did," Kris laughed on the other line, "I'm calling cause I got a case up near you guys. It thought if you weren't too busy you could help me out."

" course, You'd have to get me though, Dad took the car on a case a few states out."

"He took a case and you didn't go?" She questioned, a bit surprised.

"Ya, well I've got a guest at the house, Lot to fill you in on." Mar tried to explain still rubbing her hip.

"Wait like a 'tied up and tortured in your basement' guest or-"

"A friend Kris," She interrupted.

"Sorry, you've been making friends?" She asked,her voice jokingly surprised and clearly skeptical.

"I have friends"

"Sure"

"Alright, Whatever, how far out are you and what are you thinking we're up against?" Mar sighed the questions out with a smile on her face.

"Haven't left yet. I just wanted to see if you'd be up for it. I'll be there in like two days. It's kind of difficult to talk about it over the phone. I'll fill you in then." Mar listened, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Alright, see ya then."

"Love you," She said in a lighter voice than usual.

"Ya, Ya"

"Hey, you know you love me."

"Ya sure, Love you, talk to you later Kris." They closed the call with matching 'goodbyes' and Mar tossed her phone lightly back down on the counter before turning to walk around the bar.

"Who was that?" Lucifer stood, half visible, resting on the doorframe of the hallway.

"Uh, Krissy, old friend of mine. She caught wind of a case near here, apparently, so she's driving up from Georgia, wanted to see if I could give her a hand." Mar took her seat at the bar and took a lingering gulp of coffee before smiling at the blonde angel, still poking himself out from behind the doorway. Mar noted his slightly furrowed brow as she chewed a bite of her sandwich. "I think it'll be handy to have an angel on the team. What do you think?" She probed him with a smile.

"You want me to come fight the bad guys with you?" Lucifer stepped out into the kitchen, raising his eyebrow at her. Mar half smirked at him, taking another sip of her coffee, with a shrug of her shoulders.

Mar set her newly polished gun aside as she gazed over the scattered display of weapons before her. She rested back in her chair, eyes flickering over her two machetes, dagger, and shotgun as well as the salt, canister of holy water, and assortment of iron chains, bars, and so forth. She rested her head on her hand, with it lightly covering her mouth as she tapped the other on the table. Lucifer accidently kicked the bucket of bullets sitting near her feet, causing a loud 'clang' and certainly gaining her attention.

"Think you gotta enough?" He questioned in a mocking tone.

"Well, I don't know what I'm hunting yet so I'd rather be prepared," glaring at him she leaned back in her chair once more, resting her hands in her lap.

"Really think you'll need all that, love? You got me." He bowed himself up in a joking manor, looking down at her.

"Like I said, rather be prepared," She retorted, earning an 'I'm so hurt' face from Lucifer and a hand over his heart. Mar simply rolled her eyes at him and fixed an unconscious grin on her face. A sudden knocking made them both snap their eyes up to the kitchen door, nearly insinc. Mar stood, pushing her chair back quickly with a glare to Luci as she moved to open the door.

"Kris," Mar smiled as the taller girl stood grinning down at her, the edge of her lips pulling to dimples on her rounded face. Mar let out a laughing puff of air as the girl pulled her into a hug, her maple toned arms squeezing quite tightly. Mar pulled away, still smiling. She had always thought of her friend as a cinnamon roll that could (fairly easily she might add) kill you but now the sweetness peeked through as she beamed, slightly smeared eyeliner the only evidence of the long car ride. Mar closed the kitchen door behind Kris as she stepped further into the room, her eyes falling on Lucifer. She looked at him for a moment, eyeing him curiously before throwing a smirk toward Mar who simply responded with her usual glare. The glare soon turned into a smirk as Kris pulled him into a rather awkward hug.

"Why hello there," Lucifer laughed as Kris pulled back to look at him, her hands still set on his each arm. She eventually stepped back to extend a hand.

"Hello, I'm Kris. You are?" She inquired.

"Lucifer," He stated simply, looking down at her. With that she turned to Mar, her lips slightly parting with her eyebrows raised.

"Ya, I told you it's a long story" Mar nodded her head with a sigh and a closed lipped smile toward her.

"Right, guess you better fill me in then," Drawing out her words, she matched Mar's sigh and quickly glanced back at Lucifer.

"I'll trade ya," Mar offered with a tired laugh, gesturing to the table as she received a nod and a smile from Kris.

"So, Lucifer, the actual Devil?" She questioned out loud but merely as a sorting of her thoughts, "And angels, angels exist?"

"Well ya, you're religious. I thought you believed in them anyway." Mar noted resting her face against her hand again.

"Well believing in them and sitting across the table from one is a bit different." She stated with the slightest hint of indignation, earning a conceding motion of the hand from Mar, "And you guys are friends?" She added

"Something like that," Lucifer chimed in, previously silent on the opposite side of the table. Kris sat quietly a moment, looking at them periodically. The information seemed to seep in with every second and her acceptance of it was surprisingly quick to both, if not all three of them.

"And let's not forgot you almost got yourself killed at the diner. Why didn't you call me?" Kris's tone was a strange mix of frustration and compassion.

"Well, it was kind of a recent event Kris. You called before I could and I thought it would be better to tell you in person." Mar reasoned, watching as Kris's features softened slightly with the explanation. A slightly awkward silence passed between the three briefly before Mar sat up suddenly, smacking her palms on the table. "It's your turn," She stated, leaning in as she spoke.

"Ya alright," She agreed, slowly moving her eyes to Mar and taking a breath before beginning, "I came across a case a couple towns over. I was surprised you hadn't jumped on it already when I called," She paused glancing over to Lucifer with a slight laugh, "I guess you weren't looking for a case. A few people were found murdered in their beds. All adults, all with kids, and all ripped to shreds. Cops think it's a serial killer."

"But it looks off," Mar interrupted. Kris nodded in response. "Alright, what are you thinking?"

"Honestly I'm not sure. I thought you could help since you're an encyclopedia of, I don't even know."

"Weird shit," Mar offered.

"Ya, weird shit."

"I don't know, I think we should head over as soon as we can to get more info, scope it out, get the autopsy report" Mar suggested, leaning back in her chair and looking over momentarily to a still quiet Luci.

"Sounds good to me," Kris smiled pushing her chair back to stand behind it.

"Cool, let my pack up my shit and we can hit the road." Mar stood as well, gesturing to the myriad of weapons sprawled out on the table.

"Think you gotta enough?" Kris laughed. Her question made Lucifer chuckled behind them.

"I'm prepared, alright?" Mar was a bit exasperated in her tone, quickly shoving the supplies into a duffle with the continued laughs of the other two.
