And?
God walked out of Lux feeling rather pleased with himself. He had known his other sons were right. Lucifer had unwittingly and rather innocently let Chloe Decker redeem him. He smiled to himself as he saw both sons leaning against a rather battered looking Harley Davidson motorcycle.
"You waited?"
"No offence, but the last time you were both in a room together you both ended up with Dr Linda helping you escape a mental health facility." Amenadiel raised an eyebrow. "You look smug. I don't like it when you look smug. It's like you invented a new species or something."
God laughed. "I might have told Lucifer a small, little untruth."
Jesus and Amenadiel glared at him. Maze, who seemed to have appeared from no where laughed.
"God lied! Sweet Jesus!"
"You never called me sweet before." The man in the biker leathers smirked. Maze rolled her eyes.
"And I didn't then, momma's boy."
"Oh you wound me."
"Trust me. I could." Maze bit her lip as Amenadiel shook his head.
"What did you tell Lucifer?" The oldest of the siblings asked. God smiled.
"I told him that Chloe is a wonderful lady and that he should tell her how he feels. I may also have let him believe I've made him human for a year." God looked from one to the other. "What?"
"YOU did wha?"
Maze was incredulous as God nodded.
"Not exactly. I may have let him think he is human. Given him a pulse. Just to shake him up a little. Have him move in the right direction." God looked over the motorbike. Maze shook her head.
"Freak."
"Excuse me?" God raised an eyebrow.
"You are such a control freak." Maze snapped as God shrugged his shoulders. He knew the celestial being in front of him would never see things the way he did.
"Trust me."
"Never."
"That's your problem." He turned, vanishing as he walked away.

"Detective." Lucifer felt like the proverbial rabbit in the headlights as Chloe stared at him. "How long have you been there?"
"Long enough."
"You heard us talking?"
"I heard him tell you that I should be told something."
Lucifer sighed heavily. He knew his brothers and father were wrong. He didn't deserve her. Chloe Decker was remarkable, as was he but for completely different reasons. He took a deep breath as she stepped towards him.
"Lucifer? What is it? Are you sick? Has something happened?"
The worry for him in her voice startled him. He shook his head.
"No, I'm not sick."
"Don't lie to me. If you are."
"Chloe." He stepped towards her. "I have never and WILL never lie to you. I promise you that."
She nodded, smiling slightly. It was rare to have the ability to be so honest. "So, you're not sick." She was almost within touching distance.
"No." He looked her in the eyes. "I'm not sick. If you knew me. The real me."
"Hey." She presses a finger to his lips effectively silencing him. He closed his eyes.
"I'd still be here."
"No. You'd take your daughter and run. And I wouldn't blame you." He took her hand away from his lips, kissed her fingers and let her go. "I'm evil. Lucifer - the devil. The devil incarnate. I'm immortal. Or I was. Not sure what Dad is up to with that one."
Chloe shook her head before resting both hands on the lapels of his jacket.
"I know. I spoke to Maze, Dr Linda. I know who. What you are." She kissed him as he pulled back in shock.
"And you believe them?"
"Maze has no reason or ability to lie. I live with her. Remember?" Chloe smiled. "And we all have a past."
He smiled slightly as she looked up at him.
"Chloe, I." He stopped short as the door to the club slammed open. Cursing he felt sick as her hands slipped away, the moment lost as Dan barged in.
"Detective Douche."
"Body found two blocks from here. Female. Early 40s. Satanic markings on the skin."
Lucifer widened his eyes as Chloe nodded once. "Ok, we'll be right out." Dan paused, sensing he had interrupted something before leaving. Chloe smirked.
"We will continue this conversation."
"The murder has nothing to do with me."
"I know. Like I said. I trust you." She held out her hand as he took it. "And we will finish this conversation, later."
