Deals with Demons

by Lonly Wanderer

Demons are not something to be trifled with, but the oncoming destruction of Krypton tested even Alura's morality and she summoned one to help her, for an interesting price. But the planet still burned, though there's something different about our familiar blond hero. Really bad at summaries, sorry. AlurLane, General Danvers, more in future. Demon AU of Supergirl

LW: Hello 2018

Kara: Hi everybody thanks for showing up again. Enjoy :D

Deals with Demons – Chapter 3

As she stands outside the L Corp building she was surprised by the number of staff that would be deemed 'less than human', nothing high level but a few mid and lower tier demons as well as quite a few magical/mystical entities. Then there were the wards, basically a solid wall for her senses, which annoyed her as it meant she couldn't tell if Leviathan was even still in National City, her aura clinging but muted.

'Do you have a reason to be here Miss? And if you say just looking I will cunt punt you into the nearest building' a voice came from behind the demon, her eyebrows raise when she turns and sees a small, unintimidating Asian woman standing behind her, and she wasn't that tall herself so small means really small.

'Just examining the new residents, quite impressive wards around L Corp if I do say so myself' Lucy answers and the woman smirks

'Lena spared no expense, plus it's the only time Le Fay and Constantine have worked together on a project that I'm aware of' Jess answers cheerfully, partly because she gets to enjoy Lucy's dumbfounded expression 'Now do you have an appointment with Miss Luthor, because she's currently working out details with Mr. Capone presently and may be a while'

Lucy snorts 'Knew I recognised the smell from somewhere. Security I presume?'

'Hopefully, but the boss is enough of a problem from the Elders and those fuckers up top, bringing in more demons and spectres may just paint a target on our backs and the deal could fail' Jess sighs before making her way inside 'At least we still have SHADE if he says no' she thinks as she makes it to the elevator

Conference room

'Well Ms Luthor, you've certainly done a lot to make the offer appealing, but given what you're asking I'm not sure how I can let my boys come here especially as it'll have the lads upstairs gunning for us even more than usual' Bege says, lighting his cigar

'True, but I know you felt the wards when you came in' Lena smirks and the man nods

'Yeah, and given its speed in which you put it up, you'll have angels on your doorstep before your new security gets…'

Clang

The man nearly jumps as 2 angel blades were dropped on the desk in front of him 'Already been here, made sure he didn't come back' Lena explains with a needle toothed smirk 'Irritating fuck'

Bege grins in return 'Well if you can keep the higher ups from killing my boys, I'm sure they'll be the able to provide the security you require for the more mundane issues your company will have to deal with. Plus working for a Satan, as well as L Corp itself, will definitely increase me and my crews reputation' with his worries calmed to a reasonable level he takes the contract and signs it 'I'll have a team over tomorrow, hope the humans you have at the moment will do for now' Lena shrugs and leans back with a smile, another step forward and she only had to kill one angel, it was a good day.

DEO

'Hey, where are we going?' Kara asks as she is somehow dragged by Lucy, finally getting her away from Clark, into the training room where Alura was already sitting. It was just as the door shut and locked she realised this looked like an intervention, and panicked 'Whatever you think I did, it wasn't my fault'

Alura chuckles 'don't worry sweetie, you're not in trouble and I have to say you chose a job that suits you very well, at least based on what Astra described it as to me' Lucy nods with a wide grin 'What we're here for is to explains some things I should have been here to tell you about quite a few years ago'

'Okay, but why is Lucy here? Is it a legal thing, because the adoption papers are fake, I mean all my papers are faked but you don't need to bring Lucy in to become my mother again' Kara rambles, reminding Alura of preteen Kara trying to tell her about off world trips she'd been brought on with Astra.

'Not exactly my dear, in fact she's here to properly explain everything' Alura replies, confusing the blond hero

'Okay Kara, I'm never good at beating around the bush so I'll just say it as it is. My name is Luci Hillfyre I'm a Demon and you're a Hellian Halfling, which basically means you're half demon, because I'm your father' as she explains this she lets out her blood red eyes, just before she finds herself pinned against a wall by her neck

'Kara!' Alura yells, in surprise, she hadn't expected her to react this way, yelling? Yes. Attacking either of them? Not so much.

'Why!' Kara hisses in her face, blue eyes tinged red as her hand wraps around her throat 'Why were you hiding this?' just before releasing when her wrist is squeezed by the smaller demon; then flung across the room

'I deserved that, but calm yourself a smidge kiddo or else you're gonna look like you've been hitting the Red K again. As for your question, you tried to torch Alura's hologram when you found out about Astra being alive and having been imprisoned in Fort Rozz; there was no way I was going to fall on a holy sword without another person to divert some of the anger towards when I tell you that you're a Halfling, I have pretty high regenerative abilities but I'm not pitching it against what you are. Plus there was no way you were going to believe me without someone like Alura or Astra confirming it' she tries to explain, and Kara does nod in understanding though something catches her attention

'Astra knew? How long?'

'Probably since we made her part of the DEO as a consultant similar to you. She at least knew I was a demon since then, and I get the feeling she figured it out sometime between then and Alura showing up, I may be subtle but Astra has the training to notice how I focus on you, I worry and care about you, just as much if not more than she does' Lucy answers, at which point Kara turns to her mother

'Why, and probably more importantly how did you get a demon to make me?'

Alura sighed but explained plainly 'I tried to summon a demon in the hope they could save Krypton, it didn't but Luci promised she could save my family from the end, at the time being just me and Astra. Her price was to produce an heir, to make you. I won't go into the details, that would traumatise you in ways you don't need, but we did the thing, she faded back into the underworld and I had a lovely daughter. It was no great loss for me, I always wanted kids and Zor-El and I were just friends so I wasn't going to sleep with him, ever. So now here you are my precious daughter a brilliant Halfling who somehow has a heart of gold' she pulls Kara into a hug, the blond nuzzling tightly to her mother as she tries to process everything

'I also claimed you as my own, kind of like Leviathan did to Kara' Lucy adds, causing both kryptonians to look over at her

'What!' they yell in unison, causing the demon to smile slightly

'Leviathan marked you as her future mate; I'm a little more subtle in my branding than the wrist which seems to be hers and the Dark One's MO's. Alura has my mark on the small of her back' at this Alura pulls up the back of her shirt and Kara takes a peek: seeing a solid capital 'L' in a fiery ring and she could actually feel Lucy's ashen prescience as well as a similar marking as her own brand. Running her fingers over it Alura shivers.

'So this thing, what does it mean? Am I your property? You called it a brand, am I just some possession to you?' Alura asks tensely, Lucy grimacing before flaring over and holding her head in her hands

'No, no, no Al, that's not what it means. Some may use it as such, especially given I got to take your purity which is practically blood magic, anyone would say the best time for a bonding is with that moment and I used it as such. Yes if you went to the magical community and someone saw your mark they're treat you as my bride, but it doesn't have to mean anything legally, nothing more than a tattoo in the normal world, well unless you want it to' Lucy explains, looking much smaller and timid than she usually did, than an upper level demon like her should.

'Let's hold off on that for the moment, maybe in the future I'll be Alura Hillfyre but for now we'll just work on getting this family to work' she replies, pulling Lucy into the hug along with Kara, the blond finally feeling at home, her soul practically buzzing now she has her lieu and ukr, finally they could be a family.

20 minutes later

The trio finally leave, finding a rather annoyed Astra and Alex standing right outside it 'Well glad to see you've had your discussion, just wish you hadn't picked that exact moment to do so and leave me to deal with the fucking Daxamite' the elder kryptonian complains, while Alex just looked tired

Lucy chuckles 'Yeah I planned it all down to the moment, he was supposed to get up just as we closed the door, but…' she summons a fireball '…of my many talents, foresight isn't one of them' she grins and snuffs out the flame, until she sees Alex's slightly broken expression and hisses under her breath 'Shite' just before the brunette faints.

'Oww' Alex groans as she wakes up, slightly amused to see both hands in the immoveable grip of her 2 favourite kryptonians, both Kara and Astra practically hovering as they check her for injures, not that their were any with Astra catching her well before she hit the ground and flying her to Dr. T'Pero.

'Hey Brave one' Astra greets and gently squeezes her hand which Alex returns 'You okay?'

Alex nods 'Yeah I'm good, don't know what happened though'

Kara piped in for this 'That was Ukr, she forgot that you hadn't been told everything just yet, don't feel too bad about that I've only just been told a little before you. Seriously this is a lot to take in and you've only just got the first page of this book'

Alex's eyebrows rise 'Wait a minute, ukr? But that's…'

'Kryptonian, for father. Yes Alex it is' Lucy interrupts, drawing attention to herself for the first time 'I'm not human, I'm a demon who took an opportunity to enter this world under the radar through what wasn't even Lucy Lane at the time more just a cluster of cells, but before that I was summoned to Krypton and mated with Alura In-Ze to produce Kara Hillfyre-Ze, Kara In-Ze, Kara Zor-El, (Alex noticed she practically spat that name) or Kara Danvers, whatever you prefer. Kara is my daughter and I will do anything to protect her, now more overtly with my secret known to her. I also would do anything for my mate Alura, as Kara's mate would do when she finally reveals herself'

Alex slumps back onto the bed 'Just when things were starting to make sense' she groans tiredly

'Is now a bad time to mention National City has a non-human population of 15%, and I don't mean aliens?' Lucy asks, to which Alex groans louder 'I'll take that as a no then'

A few days later

'How'd he do that, she's supposed to be immune to Kryptonite?' Winn asks in confusion as Kara gets flung across the bridge by Corbin's chest laser.

'She's immune to the debilitating effect of the natural radiation and her kryptonian physiology means she'll also be protected from normal and kryptonite cancer. But she's not immune to a laser beam regardless of its origin source' Astra explains

'Oh… shit'

'Take him down Kara, end this quickly' Lucy yells into her coms, watching Corbin try to take out both kryptonians, more easily Superman due to the man's kryptonite heart. Supergirl lunges straight for the man, slamming him into and then over the edge of the bridge.

'You see him?' Alex asks, grabbing the com back from Lucy and trying to take back control while Kara helps Clark get back up.

'No, he doesn't look like he's down there. There isn't a body either so I think he got away' Kara replies as both kryptonians scanned the river with their X-Ray vision.

'Shit. Well guess you can just come back to the DEO, Winn has an idea for kryptonite protection for Superman' Alex says with a sigh, Kara passing it along to Clark before the 2 shot into the sky

The next day

Lucy paces slowly at DEO headquarters as Kara & Alex fight Corbin, while Clark and Astra fight a 2nd kryptonite powered metal man in Metropolis, luckily her integrated kryptonite protection still worked, mostly because Winn was only able to make one in the time he had and Clark's, while working was worn over his crest and was fairly obviously delicate.

What caught Alura's attention was when she froze up and tried to stifle a string of curses 'What's wrong?' she asks, Lucy pulling her into the empty corridor to explain

'I can't sense Leviathan, she's not in National City any more' she explains quietly, which mostly just confuses the alien

'Maybe she's just behind the wards you mentioned?' she offers, to which Lucy shakes her head

'No she keyed me in, said it was to prove she's not hiding anything, not that I could do anything to a Satan, as well as a peace offering due to having marked Kara, so I can detect things through the wards. But even if she was behind it her aura/prescience would still be in the city, it's just GONE. So she's somewhere else…' she stops and then face palms 'I think I should warn Astra' she mutters before heading back to the console, Alura following behind her

'Wait, why are you warning Astra?' she asks, but is answered when Lucy calls her sister

'Hey Z, keep an eye out for a rather scaly lady, she's not a threat…probably. She's like me but stronger and seven kinds of crazy'

'Thanks, I think' Astra shrugs as she ducks under the Metallo's laser blast into cover.

'Hello' the man turns, then looks up to see a lizard looking woman grinning down at him, just before slamming her clawed hand into his chest and ripping his kryptonite heart out, then taking his head off with a spinning kick 'Hmm, that was a lot easier than I expected, it's almost disappointing' she frowns, then sees both kryptonians 'Hi hero types' she waves with her right hand, as the other was still holding the kryptonite chunk.

'Demon' Superman hisses, surprising Astra as well as the others on the other end of her coms

'So this is Kara's betrothed? Well she definitely matches the description you gave me' Alura mutters beside Lucy, unfortunately getting heard by both sets of DEO group

'What!' Alex and Astra yell, the human due to having a fight still going on getting punched in the face, while Astra nearly marches over to Leviathan who had just crushed the heart to powder.

'Ah so Luci finally came out to you guys, Leviathan Lutessa, pleased to meet you' Leviathan grins and extends her right claw

'She did and may I say you really do look like a Salazzle with tits' Astra takes her hand flashes a smirk while Superman looks annoyed she was talking to the demon

'Why are you here?' he asks

'Is that any way to treat someone who just helped you and dealt with a potentially fatal problem?' Leviathan pouts, then winks at Astra 'If that's how I'm going to be treated around here it was a good thing I decided to leave Metropolis' she smiles and gives the elder kryptonian some fairly blatant bedroom eyes before shimmering away

'I think you scared her off' Astra stage whispers to Superman, getting a few chuckles from the agents that heard her and an eye roll from Alura

'She's a demon, she should either be detained or destroyed' he replies seriously, causing a surprised look to form on Astra's face

'It seems the Boy Scout has a berserk button and it's demons' she smirks

'Of course I do, they take advantage of the most desperate of the morally corruptible and use that desperation to further their own agendas' he sighs before flying off, Astra reaching for her coms

'I guess we're not telling him about you and Kara then Hellfire?' she asks quietly

'No dumbass, we're not' Luci replies with an eye roll, turning her attention back to Kara and Alex who had managed to detain Corbin during their little squabble.

2 hours later

'Family meeting' Alex calls, Kara pulling the more reluctant members of their little group into a more secure area in the DEO, which happened to be J'onn's office

'What's going on here?' the Martian asks, not understanding why his office was suddenly full, though when his eyes met Alex's he groans before with a tired sigh 'As if this day wasn't long enough'

Alex yelps as both Lucy and Astra (lightly) slap the back of her head 'Way to mind yell all the secrets to the telepath' Lucy snarks, while Astra chuckles but rolls her eyes

'Hey, this is a big thing as it's not like J'onn's going to blab to anyone' Alex tries to defend, though she probably should have mentioned it to Lucy and Kara at the very least as it was their secret more than hers or the elder kryptonians.

'Alex is right, I see both these girls as my own daughters and would protect them as if they were' J'onn defends and both Alura and Lucy can see a familiar spark in his eyes

'Yeah, J'onn's our Space Dad' Kara adds with her usual 'Sunny Danvers' smile, causing a smile to form on most of the others faces too.

'Fluff aside, I presume there was a reason for this meeting' Alura asks, trying to steer things back on course

'Well mostly getting J'onn up to speed and also talking about the demon thing and the fact Kara is engaged to the sexy lizard lady the was able to single handedly rip Metallo's head off' Alex answers

Lucy nods 'Leviathan Lutessa, one of the 4 Satans and the only original Satan still alive to this day'

'You've kind of mentioned this a couple of times but what does that even mean?' Alura asks

'It's really just a title, or I suppose a power symbol; the 4 strongest demons are the 4 Satans: The technically vacant Lucifer chair…'

'Hold it, you said they were the 4 strongest and then you say one doesn't even exist, this makes no sense' Alex complains

'I have to agree with Alex on this one, why is it vacant?' J'onn asks, interested in this new part of the planet he was being drawn into thanks to his 'daughters'

Lucy sighs 'Fine, when the original Satan was destroyed, his essence was sealed into an artefact, a blade that can bestow power at the cost of your humanity, making them the strongest demon in the realm, the Dark One. I might be a little out of date with my information, I tried to keep a low profile while I was still weak and after that nobody was looking for me but still, the most recent one was some guy called Raysh or Raz, eh he's been the Lucifer seat for the last 200 years or so. Then there's The Leviathan, obviously held by Leviathan Lutessa herself Kara's mate…'

'This won't become a habit but that's another thing, how did Leviathan brand Kara?' Alex interrupts once more, but bites her lip when she sees Kara's expression 'Crap, is this a sore subject or…'

'No, it should have come out by now anyway. I met Le when I made a wish, for Jeremiah to be okay. She came to me in my dreams, asked if I was sure, if I was willing to be hers in exchange for this human and I said yes. She smiled as we shook hands and she kissed me on the forehead, then my arm started to burn and her mark appeared on my wrist. It was that mark which stopped me from thinking it was all a bad dream, and I hadn't seen her again until the Black Mercy when she appeared on Krypton. I only know she's somewhere in National City because Luci told me.' Kara explains, surprised to get pulled into a hug from her sister 'Um Alex?'

'You made a deal with a demon, to save my dad?' she nuzzles closer to the blond, while Lucy chuckles at the major change in Alex's usual character.

'Of course, he may not have been my dad, but you're my sister and I care about him too, plus it seems it's a family thing to make deals to save other people, I'm just glad I'm not pregnant yet' she jokes but Alex's growl tells her she wasn't happy about that.

'ANYWAY! The other 2 are The Mephisto, held by a former crossroads Demon called Crowley, he has the title of King of Hell, mostly because Leviathan doesn't give a shit, and Lucifer can't be arsed trying to rule the underworld when they can control up here. And finally we have The Nocturne, the last one being a Halfling named Cole Turner but I've got no idea if he still is, as he was 105 when I heard about him' Lucy finishes off her explanation, sighing tiredly

'Anything about that, which will affect DEO work?' J'onn asks

'Possibly, demons are a bit more subtle than most aliens in their movements, and usually stick to the magical world but with Supergirl's aura starting to blur into the public domain as well as several high ranks such as Leviathan herself and even me, it may bring a few of the hidden ones out of the woodwork, plus some demons and magical entities actually look like some of the aliens I've seen you take bring in on a normal basis, Tertamands and Petrosapiens remind me of Ogres and Rock trolls for example. Given her hybrid nature Kara should be able to hold them off, and if necessary Astra or I could step in to assist. Plus there's a small chance Kara could get the attention of Heaven, which might mean we'll need to see if Constantine will do up some wards for the DEO.'

J'onn pinches the bridge of his nose 'If you can find him I'll see what he can do. Anything else?'

'Nope, I think this is everything, thank you for giving us the time' Alura nods to the Martian who waves them off, Lucy, Alex and Alura trying to get the other 2 in their family into the sun lamps to recharge, as the fight with the Metallos was quite taxing for the 2 kryptonians.

National City Morgue

Banging was an unfamiliar and probably should be an impossible thing to be hearing in the morgue, so Dr. Mallard was noticeable suspicious and worried as he stepped into the room, his hands slowly reaching for the slab door the sound had appeared to be coming from.

'What in the world?' he wonders as while he finds a body, it didn't appear to be the one he had put in there the previous day, having been mostly charred to the bone while this one looked undamaged, though lifeless. Any further questions were silenced by a vice like grip on this throat, as sickly yellow eyes peer into his soul

'Nothing that will concern you' was whispered hoarsely, before there was a loud snap and the old man dropped to the floor. After pulling himself from the freezer he stumbles over to the desk 'You won't see me coming Supergirl' he chuckles darkly 'Not till the knife in already in your back… Kara' his eyes flash white and a sound like rushing air fills the room before he vanishes, as usual papers get blown around the room, in this case from the newest addition to the morgue; a Mr.

M. Lord

TBC

LW: Well, I think we've learnt not to mess with Satans and Hellians today. Also does anyone know what actually happened to Max in Supergirl canon? Cause if anyone asks me, he died between seasons.

By the way the most important difference between the OUAT and DWD Dark Ones is as such: The dagger can't control them in this world, it's a focus for their abilities and a kingmaker but other than being able to kill the current one holding the dagger grants a normal person no special powers. The idea of having one of the Satan's have the Title of Dark One is simply because at the very least Rumple is basically the Devil in that show, or at least a very powerful Crossroads Demon.

Also the reason Lena was able to kill an angel (albeit a really low ranked one as the higher ups aren't that stupid) and get away with it is best explained with a One Piece metaphor:

Demons are pirates and Angels are marines, the Satans are like the Yonko, they're too powerful for the Light to actually deal with so as long as they don't do something extreme, such as go to war with Heaven like the original did they leave them alone.
