We've been getting many comments about how people want the characters in the fandoms to start branching out more and interacting with others. Yes, we will do this. They've only just gotten settled down in the tower. Do not fear. Also, we haven't forgotten about the Master, he was a part of our plan from the very beginning :) So here is an extra chapter to soothe your anxiety.

Enjoy! - InkwellWarriors

For a split second, Loki felt the breath rush out of him and the ground fall away before the sensation evaporated and he found himself in a completely different location. Lucifer let go of their shoulders and Loki and Moriarty stumbled back, dazed from the teleportation.

Loki looked around; they weren't back in the loft. He didn't recognize where Lucifer had taken them. It was darker, quieter, the sounds of the city could no longer be heard through the window. The room they were in was sparsely decorated, mostly made of wood. Threadbare curtains hung over the windows letting in the first hints of moonlight.

Moriarty whistled, tossing his armful of blueprints off to the side. "Well, it certainly beats traffic." Lucifer rolled his eyes, going over to gather up the scattered papers and place them neatly on a desk in the corner.

Loki walked over to the curtains, pulling one back to look outside. "Where are we?"

Lucifer made sure the stack of plans was stable before joining Loki by the window and peering out over the landscape. The house was situated in small clearing but beyond them looked to be miles and miles of forest.

"Close to Casper, Wyoming. Not far from Devil's Gate." He smiled. "I thought it was a little poetic."

"So, this is the plan, then?" Moriarty said, collapsing into the chair at the desk. "We make our flashy entrance and then sit back and watch them scramble?"

Lucifer stepped away from the window and paced the perimeter of the room until he found the light switch and flipped it on. The single light bulb hanging from the ceiling flickered and did little to illuminate the dark room. "For now, yes. That is the plan. They weren't expecting us this time but now we have lost the element of surprise. Of course, we didn't sacrifice that without gaining anything but it does leave us with some disadvantages as well."

"Such as?" Moriarty drawled, twisting back and forth in his chair.

Lucifer set his jaw. "Well, Jim, it might only take a few men on the inside to get things done for you," he paused to look Moriarty directly in the eyes, "but being me does have its limitations. Now that they have the Winchesters you can guarantee that Stark is going to do everything he can to make that tower as inaccessible to me as possible. That's why it was important you got those," he pointed at the blueprints, "now before Sam and Dean can paint every ward they know on that building."

"What are they, anyway?" Loki asked, approaching the desk for a closer look. He selected one at random and rolled it open. The design didn't make much sense to him but it reminded him vaguely of Selvig's work.

"They're not of much use at the moment but once the fourth member of our coalition arrives it will be of great importance," Lucifer said. Loki rolled up the blueprint again and put it back on the desk.

"Speaking of which," Moriarty said, "do we know anything else about this mysterious fourth member? How long are we going to sit around here moping about being one suit short of full deck?"

Lucifer narrowed his eyes. "If you want to go in half-cocked be my guest but I'm waiting until all of my cards are on the table."

Moriarty quirked his eyebrows and shrugged, pulling out a piece of gum from his pocket. The wind picked up outside and rattled the windows. The shadows of the trees being whipped around swayed on the floor of the cabin.

Loki sat on the edge of the desk and crossed his arms. "Do we know when he's coming?"

Lucifer shook his head.

"But you at least know where he is, don't you?"

Lucifer shook his head again. "Not exactly. His situation is…complicated. But that's precisely why we need him."

Moriarty started counting off on his fingers. "So we don't know when he's coming, where he is, and we can't work whatever machine these plans are referring to until he arrives. Did I miss anything because I want to make sure I know just how lost we are at the moment."

"If we don't know where he is," Loki said, ignoring Moriarty, "how are we going to get to him?"

Lucifer raised a finger. "Ah, now that's where you come in."
