xBrother from another mother?
Lucifer glared at the bottom of his empty glass wondering how he could get drunk. He knew it was scarily easy for humans - another design flaw but he had no idea if it was something a demon could do. He cursed Amenadiel for refusing to talk to their father, but deep down he knew there was no reason why he should.
"Stupid humans." He poured himself another drink as thoughts of a particular human filled his head. Chloe and Trixie had just accepted him. He had told Chloe he was the devil. That he was the fallen angel. What had she done? Shook her head; whispered not to me and kissed him! She had actually kissed him. He smiled at the memory but knew if she had seen his real face; his wings then she and Trixie would be gone. Running a hand over his face he sighed heavily.
"Brother said you wanted a word?" Lucifer spun in his seat.
"Well, this is a turn up for the books."
The thick set man with long hair and dark skin hopped onto a bar stool next to him. His heavy metal t shirt and battered old jeans made him look like a biker rather than the Son of God.
"Do I get a drink?"
"Er, well it is a bar." Lucifer pushed his bottle of vodka towards him. "That's vodka. I have wine behind the bar so none of your funny business. I remember the last party you were at. Was all the wine really needed?"
"Hey." The other man shrugged. "It was a party. Don't think they were ready for vodka and jaegar bombs back then. How are you, brother?"
"Me? Still evil. Still the banished fallen angel."
"Trying to live on Earth?"
"You did! You had friends, family who loved you. You had people that would do anything for you." Lucifer looked at him. "People who still do."
"I was still betrayed."
"Nothing to do with me." Lucifer held up a hand. "Judas was his own man. I never spoke to him."
"I know."
"Good." Lucifer decided. "Bet that is something else Father blames me for."
"No."
"Jesus Christ!"
"Yep?" He smiled. "That's the first time you said my name since I got here, Lucifer Morningstar. Not so difficult."
"Father forsaked you."
"I was in pain, very hot and extremely annoyed." Jesus shrugged. "But He didn't. Not really."
Lucifer nodded. "Why is this happening to me?"
"Helping the police?" Jesus smiled. "Doing good. Falling in love?"
"What!?"
"That's What it's called. Falling in love."
"You are really starting to annoy me now." Jesus shook his head before taking a sip of his drink.
"You know? Chloe is a good woman. The majority of humans are."
"Yes."
"You have told her what you were." Jesus paused. "And she still wants you around." Lucifer nodded.
"She's a good cop. We make a good team."
"You smile every time you talk about her."
"Oh! Come on!"
"Why are you so keen to talk to Dad? Why now? You always thought He was disinterested in us. That he was more concerned about Earth and his humans." Jesus watched as Lucifer sighed.
"I don't want to go back to Hell. And before you ask Heaven doesn't have much appeal for me. I want a chance. To be left alone. To live my life here. Helping the police. Running the bar." He felt sick. "I've tried to show Chloe who I really am. I've told her and like you say she still wants me around."
"But?"
"I can't show my true face. I've tried."
"Maybe it's not your true face anymore. Maybe this is the real truth now. Maybe you don't need me or Amenadiel to be your go-between. You've proved yourself."
"I." Lucifer frowned, not really comprehending his younger half brother. "Really? My. Wings." He stuttered as he thought about everything that had happened. "I'm Lucifer. The Fallen Angel; the Devil! Dad sent me to Hell!"
"I told Him not to be so hasty." Jesus smiled. "Yes, you were banished. Yes you and your Mum have been a nightmare. But you crawled out of Hell. You and Maze have made lives for yourselves here. Chloe has been a good influence on you both. Maybe you can't show her what you believe is your real face because it's not your real face. Not now." He hopped off the bar stool. "Listen to me. Let me know when you get it, ok. Love trumps evil. You've seen the slogans on billboards and stuff. It was Dad's way of trying to make you see. You've let love into your heart. You let Chloe and her child into your heart. That means there's no room for any evil."
Lucifer stared at him. "How can I be the Devil if I'm not pure evil?"
"Maybe Chloe is right." Jesus picked up a heavy jacket. "You're not the Devil. Not anymore. I gotta go. Think about what I said. I'll talk to Dad."
Lucifer tilted his glass slightly as he watched his brother leave.
