Chapter : 11
Family Matters Part 2
Lucifer awoke and to his astonishment found that he was laying down on his own bed with both Maze and Michael sitting beside him with deep frowns of concern on their faces. Michael placed a comforting hand on his forehead and then asked worriedly, "Are you going to be all right, Brother?" The night club owner took a deep calming breath and replied in confusion, "Yes. I think so. What in the hell happened?" Maze cleared her throat and announced seriously, as she reached over and gently helped her boss into a sitting position, "You had a massive panic attack. Where are your pills?" Lucifer shook his head and replied calmly, "I don't know. I seem to have lost them right along with those strange feelings that I've been having lately. For some odd reason, I feel so much better now, than I have in a very long time. Did you call the Brittany's like I asked? I really need that shag right about now."
Maze and Michael just looked at each other for a long moment in bewilderment. Lucifer looked from one to the other and then asked curiously, "What is it? What's the matter?" Michael then turned back to his brother and replied seriously, as he grinned and placed a sympathetic hand on the devil's shoulder, "My brother, I have a nasty feeling that your insatiable need for sexual gratification's going to have to wait for now?' Lucifer folded his arms and asked with a petulant frown, "What could possibly be more important than having sex? I've got a major case of blue balls here." Michael shook his head and had all to do to keep himself from laughing out loud.
The ninja/demon bartender took a deep breath and replied with a serious grin, as she went in the left front pocket of her jet black leather pants and pulled out a folded posted note and handed it over to her boss, "This is what's more important, Lucifer." The night club owner unfolded the piece of paper and read the brief message. Maze and Michael both looked on in sheer amazement, as Lucifer's body suddenly went rigid with barely contained rage and his eyes gained a bright crimson glow. "That cunt! I'm not going to let that prehistoric bitch take everything away from me!"
Maze and Michael found themselves having to jump back, as Lucifer suddenly jumped to his feet and added as the hand that held the note had burst into flames which turned the unfolded piece of paper to ashes, "I'm going to destroy that whore." Maze turned to her boss's brother and remarked with a relieved smile, "I think we finally have the old Lucifer back with us again." Michael nodded in agreement, and then declared, as he turned back to his younger brother, "I'm really pleased that you're back with us, Lucifer, but I'm going to need you to take some deep breaths and calm yourself down. I promise you that we will save them both, but you know how powerful our mother is. This rescue's going to have to be carefully thought out, and we can't afford to go into this half cocked. Above all, we're going to need some assistance. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"
Lucifer nodded, closed his eyes and began taking long deep breaths in a brave attempt to relax and quell his temper. After a few moments, The night club owner opened his eyes and to Michael's relief, he found that they were once again human normal, and the flames around his hand vanished. The arc angel then turned to the ninja/demon bartender and then added seriously, "I need you to keep a close eye on my brother and make sure that he remains here until I return. I promise that this won't take long. I think it's about time for a true family reunion." Without waiting for a reply, Michael shifted into the form of a floating orb of swirling golden light and then vanished into thin air leaving Maze and her boss to stair at each other in amazement.
Homicide Detective Chloe Decker awoke dazedly and found herself laying on the floor inside a large white building that seemed oddly familiar. The last thing the young woman could remember was walking into the living room inside her mothers house and to her astonishment finding Dr. Williams standing behind her sofa bed waiting for her with a sadistic smile on her face. Before Chloe could go for her gun, she suddenly heard the sound of frantic screaming coming from Trixie's bedroom.
The homicide detective ran across the living room and threw open her daughter's bedroom door and found her current cases first murder victim holding her daughter's struggling body tightly in her arms with her right hand clamped over the little girls mouth. Just as Chloe was about to run forward and try to help her daughter, Kim stealthily crept up from behind and slammed a small plaster statue into the back of her head and knocked her to the floor unconscious.
At that moment, a small groaning sound brought Chloe back to the present. She looked over and to her relief found her daughter struggling into a sitting position right beside her. "Are you going to be all right, Monkey?", Chloe asked as she helped her daughter to sit up properly. Trixie nodded and replied with a frown of confusion, "I think so. Where are we, mommy?" Chloe took her daughter protectively into her arms and replied grimly, "We're in the same place where we almost lost each other." Trixie wrapped her arms around her mother and then asked in sudden fear, "The bad man isn't here, is he?" The homicide detective was about to make a reassuring reply, when she heard a vaguely familiar voice beg pleadingly, "Please help me. I don't want to die. Please help me. Pllleeeeaaaasssseee."
Chloe turned her gaze away from her daughter and to her horror found a bleeding and barely recognizable Dr. Williams desperately crawling towards her from behind a large wooden crate with a desperate look in her eyes. Chloe placed her daughter back down, crawled over to the psychologist and had just managed to reach her as she crumpled to the ground. The Homicide detective checked for the young woman's pulse but to her dismay found nothing." Chloe crawled back over to her daughter and announced seriously, as she helped the little girl get back to her feet and then made it back to her own, "Come on, Monkey! You and I need to find a way out of here, while we still can."
Detective Decker grabbed Trixie by the hand and was about to start searching for the exit of the airport hanger, when an oddly familiar 16 year old girl suddenly stepped out in front of them and remarked with an insane and sadistic smile, "You're both leaving me so soon? I'm afraid that I can't allow that, Ms. Decker." Chloe stared hard at the girl and asked with a vicious snarl, "What in the hell do you want with us?" "You're both merely a means to an end, Detective. A way to get my child to finally man up and come out of hiding to face me. You have, after all, become quite intimate with my child of late. I'm afraid that I can't allow such intimacy to continue.", the sixteen year old girl replied patiently, as she slowly shifted back into her true form.
Chloe instantly recoiled from the unexpected supernatural activity, but to her astonishment, she watched as little Trixie snatched her hand out of her grip and shouted angrily, as she took a few brave steps forward, "That's my Lucifer, you bad woman! You go away and leave my Lucifer alone! You can't have my Lucifer!" Ashera looked at both of the humans in turn and then asked furiously, as she began walking towards them once more, "What did you just say, you little shit?"
At that moment, Chloe, Ashera and Trixie suddenly looked around the hanger in confusion as the sound of flapping wings filled the air and a sudden powerful gust of wind sprang up from out of nowhere. A moment later, Trixie gave the goddess and her mother a superior and i told you so smile, when familiar voice remarked with that arrogant and royal undertone that just couldn't be mistaken, "Maybe you should refrain from using from using such harsh language in front of the child. It is so very unbecoming." Ashera smiled and said as she turned around and found Lucifer standing there with Maze by his side holding her daggers out looking ready for a fight, "Well, if it isn't the most cowardly and treacherous of all my little brats."
As Ashera turned to face her son, Chloe was able to catch sight of her partner, and what she saw caused her to take an involuntary step back in sudden fear, as she placed a hand over her mouth in shock. It was the first time that she'd ever seen him wearing gleaming golden body Armour, but what really made her stand up and take notice was seeing the beautiful pair of nine foot snow white colored wings that he now woar on his back. The homicide detective looked at her daughter and remarked in complete astonishment, "I guess you really weren't joking while we were at Lux, were you Trix?" The little girl looked up at her mother and replied seriously, "No, Mommy. Lucifer's an angel."
Ashera took a long look at Maze and added with a grin of disappointment, as she turned her gaze back towards her son, "This demon is all that you brought with you as back up. I thought for sure that I'd taught you better than that, child." Lucifer laughed and replied arrogantly, "Oh but you did, mother." then suddenly, as if on cue, four small orbs of swirling golden light descended down from the hangers' ceiling quickly surrounding the ancient and powerful goddess.
Each orb slowly transformed into that of a winged and amour-ed arc angel who was equipped with his own gleaming broad sword. The only angel who wasn't bothering to carry a sword was Lucifer himself. Ashera looked around the room and was slightly amazed to find, Gabriel, Michael, Raphael and Uriel looking back at her expectantly. Lucifer turned to Maze and whispered something in her ear. The ninja/demon bartender smiled and asked anxiously, "Are you sure?"
Lucifer gave her a silent nod. With that, Maze put away her daggers and then suddenly vanished into thin air. She then reappeared between Chloe and Trixie and said with a confident smile, as she took the homicide detectives left hand and her daughter's right into her own, "Good luck." A moment later, Maze vanished again taking the two humans with her. Ashera shook her head and announced matter-of-factly, 'Those two mortals are of no consequence now. They after all got me what I wanted. We all know that the four of you will never be able to defeat me."
Lucifer looked at each of his brothers in turn and inquired with a smirk, "Are we ready?" Gabriel, Michael, Uriel and Rafael all nodded silently and one by one each of the four arc angels put away his sword. A moment, later, all five angels knelt down with his eyes closed and hands folded in silent prayer. Within a matter of seconds the section of floor she was standing suddenly shifted into an spinning vortex of intense bluish-white colored light.
Ashera looked a her children and shouted in sudden fear, as the strong gravitational force started to pull her entire body through the floor, "What are you brats doing?! This isn't how things are suppose to end! No, don't do this to me! I am you're mother! No!" within a matter of seconds, the spinning vortex of light completely vanished taking the goddess with it. All of the arc angels opened their eye and everyone of them managed to get back to their feet. All except for one.
Michael looked over at Lucifer (who had already shifted back into his human form) and noticed he was still on his knees with his hands covering his face sobbing hysterically. It had taken all of Lucifer's endurance and inner strength to stand up to their powerful mother, and he had to admit that he wouldn't have made it through the trying ordeal without the help and support of his brother's not to mention the combined love and care of Chloe and her daughter Trixie.
Michael quickly sprinted over and declared soothingly, as he gently took Lucifer's shaking body into his arms and wings and allowed him to cry on his shoulder, "Everything's going to be all right now, little brother. Mother's gone now, and I'm sure that Father's so proud of you for standing up to her. I am so proud you, little brother." Gabriel led the other two arc angels over to their brothers and inquired with apprehensive frown, as he knelt down on the floor beside Michael, "Is Lucifer going to be all right?" Michael nodded and said with reassuring smile, as he continued to cradle Lucifer's body in his arms, "Yes, he's going to be just fine, Gabriel. We just need to let him get it all out. Lucifer's going to be just fine." Gabriel wrapped his arms and wings around both Michael and Lucifer. Uriel and Raphael knelt down and did the same creating a tight group hug which lasted until Lucifer had cried himself to sleep.
Four days later...
It was three o'clock in afternoon by the time Homicide detective Chloe Decker and her daughter had pulled up into their driveway and found Lucifer sitting in the driver's seat of his 61 black convert able smoking a cigarette while he waited for them to arrive. Chloe and Trixie both got out of the car and calmly closed the doors behind them. "Well, I didn't think that I'd ever see you again.", Chloe announced with a welcoming smile, as she took little Trixie by the hand and guided her towards Lucifer's car.
The night club owner smiled back and replied cheerfully, as he got put out his cigarette, got out of his convert able and closed the door behind him, "There's no way that I'd ever leave and my favorite little human behind, detective." Chloe took a deep breath and inquired worriedly, "What about your father's message? Wouldn't you be happier being back with him in heaven?" Lucifer shook his head replied confidently, as he wrapped his arms around the youthful homicide detective and pulled her body tightly against his own, "I'd thought about it long and hard, and I've come to the conclusion that I'd be happier and better off being with you and your daughter. Father's given us his blessing."
Chloe giggled and asked hopefully, "Does this mean what I think it means, Mr. Morning star?" Lucifer nodded replied with conviction, "Yes it sure does, love." After a moment, the night club owner pulled the detective into a deep and long passionate kiss. "Ewe. That's just mushy." Lucifer quickly pulled himself out of Chloe's grip and said as he turned to the little girl and raised both of his hands making his fingers look like claws, "Oh yeah, little human. I'll show you mushy." Trixie jumped back turned around and shouted as Lucifer chased her back into the house, "Mommy, save me! It's the return of the tickle monster!" Chloe sighed and said with a lively shake of her head, "Here we go again."
The Homicide detective began making her way towards the house completely unaware that detective Dan Esponosa was at that very moment sitting in his unmarked squad car in quiet anger watching her entire conversation with Lucifer from beginning to end. Dan took a deep calming breath and said to himself, as he started his car engine, "You haven't won anything, Mr. Morning-star. And you sure in the hell haven't seen the last of me. I'll get my wife and daughter back. just mark my words. Even if i have to go through you to do it." Without a moment to spare, the heartbroken detective shifted his car into drive and peeled off down the road heading back to him apartment to plan his next move.
The End
A/N: So what do you all think of this ending? does it scream out the need for a sequel, or will it be able to stand on it's own?

Were you all satisfied with what happened to Dr. Williams, or do all of you think that she deserved so much worse? Please let me know in a review.
