A/N Last Chapter! Thank you for the reviews!


"So what now?" Lucifer inquired of his sister. It was pitch black and the temperature started to drop, and the Devil was no fan of the cold.

"We go back to LA, collect my sword, and it's time for me to get back to work Lucifer. Father has humored me this long; I don't want to push it." Azrael noticed her brother looking uncomfortable.

"Well yes, about that Sis, bit of a snag with the sword…" Azrael raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow. "I don't have it."

"What do you mean you don't have it?" If it were possible the temperature dropped even further in that moment and the wind picked up. Azrael's eyes flashed as she looked Lucifer square in the eye.

"I may have thrown it into another dimension or some such thing when I used it to have mom leave." The story came tumbling out in a wave. "Now now sis, no need to get…." It was too late. Azrael was out of the car and to the driver side door before he had time to blink and she lifted him out of his seat by his collar, her wings completely unfurled. "Overreact" Lucifer's barely managed to choke out.

"You did WHAT?" Azrael snarled.

"Seemed like a good idea at the time."

"You could have held on to it, you could have called me, but it was a good idea to THROW IT INTO ANOTHER GALAXY? The one gift Father entrusted to me?"

"Enough" Lucifer's eyes flashed himself and he twisted Azrael's hand forcing her to release him. The unmistakable crack of lighting filled the desert and lit up the sky. "Oh you too old Man!" Lucifer rolled his eyes to the heavens. "What's done is done Sis, no use crying over it now." Azrael stood a few paces back trying to control the rage running through her. Just moments ago they had been enjoying each other's company. She had wished for eons to be reunited with Lucifer, only for it to come to this. She turned from him and unfurled his wings to leave.

"Azrael don't" Lucifer blurted out before he could stop himself. This is why he hated family reunions. Pesky emotions resurfacing, family drama. But he knew he couldn't let his little sister leave. Not like this. His words had some effect, as Azrael stopped in her tracks but didn't turn around. Lucifer went over to her. Lucifer reached out and raised Azrael's eyes to his. "Look, I may have been a little hasty. I. Well I didn't quite know what to do. I had to get mom out of there and after all the havoc that thing caused it seemed like the thing to do."

"You didn't call for me brother. Do you really despise me that much?"

Lucifer felt a punch in the gut. "Oh no, no no Azrael my dear girl." He pulled his sister into a crushing hug. Azrael was initially stiff as a board as her brother pulled her close. Lucifer finally felt the tension release as she melted into the hug. "It had nothing to do with you Sister. I can be impulsive you know." He heard Azrael scoff. "And I never despised you Azrael. Some of our other siblings, maybe. But how could I ever despise you, you little imp?" Azrael smiled into her brother's Armani suit. "It's not easy for me you know, the whole FAMILY thing."

"Understatement of the millennium brother." Azrael finally spoke and looked up at Lucifer.

"Now that's better." Lucifer smiled. "Okay come on, we best be getting back."

Azrael's eyes lit up, and a mischievous grin that Lucifer knew all too well spread across her face. "No Azrael, don't you….."

Azrael grabbed hold of her brother and shot into the sky. A short time later Azrael deposited her brother onto the balcony at LUX. As soon as she released him he began smoothing out his suit. Some things really never change. "Of all the indignant things. I swore after Amenadiel it would be the last time anyone in our family would carry me off like a babe.."

"You let our brother carry you! Oh I wish I could have seen that." Azrael laughed out.

"Well yes circumstances and all" Lucifer shook his head at the memory, one he wished he could burn from his brain.

"You wanted to make it back before midnight brother." Azrael looked positively giddy at her new found knowledge.

Lucifer opened his mouth and raised a finger as if to say something but thought better of it and turned on his heels to make his way into the penthouse with Azrael following. "Well hello" he crooned. "Apparently we missed the party." Lucifer stopped cold at the sight of the detective in his bed. Azrael came up behind him.

"Don't mess this up brother."

Lucifer's head cocked to the side but never took his eyes off the detective.

"I'm glad to see you happy; this human is good for you." Azrael pecked him on the cheek and turned to leave her brother to his house guests.

"Will you be back?"

"Call for me and I will come if I can brother. We have been kept apart too long. I enjoyed this."

"No need for the theatrics next time, let's leave that to Father. Oh and what about Ms. Lopez? It won't be easy to have her just disappear. People will look for her."

"A transfer is going to come in for Ella to a new department. She will leave notes for everyone, say it's too hard for her to say goodbye. Her brother's will eventually get notice of her passing. Everything's in place."

"Hmmmm"

Lucifer turned to say goodbye properly and saw his sister paused at the piano, fingers gliding over the tops of the keys. He was reminded of a young Azrael tucked next to him, playing on a baby grand in the silver city, playing her first duet with him. It was actually the ridiculous piece he had played with the detective some time back.

"Try to stay out of trouble will you brother?"

A smile tugged at his lips. "Come now, you know I don't make promises I can't keep sister."

He was rewarded with a smile in return, and just like that, Azrael was gone.

Stepping onto his balcony and looking to the sky Lucifer tucked his hands into his pockets. "Interesting turn of events wouldn't you say Dad?" Thunder clapped across downtown LA and Lucifer smiled wide.
