AN:Alright onto this new chaoter. Thank you to everyone who commented on the last chapter it means alot to me.
Chloe woke up with a jolt as she found herself in the middle of a street. Multiple police cars surrounding her. A thick layer of smoke filled the area, along with her head. An officer quickly ran to her side, once they say Chloe allaying down in the street.
"Ma'am are you alright!"
Chloe's head was foggy, and the world seemed off focus. As the female officer gently pulled Chloe to her feet. Chloe stumbled a bit, as she heard people shouting.
"Sir, you can't go in there!"
More smoke was surrounding them as officers ran towards someone who was coming towards her.
She nearly stumbled again as another pair of hands grabbed her shoulder.
"Detective!" The smooth English man spoke in a terrified manner. He held onto her tightly, as he guided her out of the building.
"L-Lucifer…" she slurred.
He pulled her a little closer to him as he continued to get her out of the building and to safety. "Shhh, I got you."
He had successfully gotten her out of the building. When she heard more voices start to scream.
"GET DOWN!" She heard someone scream. As suddenly her and her partner were being forced to the ground. Her mind blacked out for several moments before she started to come back too.
Blood.
Lucifer.
Chloe pulled herself to her feet as the smoke cleared again.
Lucifer, where was Lucifer.
Blood, she saw more blood.
Oh, God.
"Chloe!"
"Chloe!" She felt a small body jump onto her as she jolted awake. Lucifer smiled at her happily. His legs crossed as he sat on top of her. Chloe stifled a little laugh as she picked up the child and sat him next to her.
"Now, is that any way to wake someone up?"
The little devil just shrugged. "I dunno. That's what my siblings do."
A smirk crept across the detective's face as images of young angelic children, acting like true children peeked through her head. A tiny Lucifer playing with a young Amenidial. Acting how children should. Enjoying their three minutes of childhood and peace. Before they were all turned against each other by their father's actions. It was a sweet thought that she wished had lasted longer.
Chloe ruffled his a little hair, as Trixie came running in. "Morning mommy. Morning Lucifer." The little girl said happily, as Lucifer blushed a little. Chloe squinted a little at the little boy's expression. Did he...no couldn't be. Not with her daughter.
"I'm hungry mommy," Trixie whined a little as she playfully laid across Chloe. Chloe laughed a little and picked her up.
"Alright monkey." She carried the little girl over to the kitchen. As Lucifer just watched them walk away. Not sure whether or not to follow them. His question was answered a moment later. "Come on Luci!" Trixie called, and the little devil came running happily.
After breakfast, which from Trixie's persistence had been chocolate chip had never had them before. Which didn't surprise Chloe, but shocked her daughter. Chloe sent Trixie off to get ready for class as she cleaned up the kitchen. While the little devil just sat and watched.
Chloe sighed a little. Figuring that some things just never change.
"Where is Trixie going," Lucifer said his gaze locked on the little girl as she packed her school bag for the day.
"She's going to school," Chloe answered as she finished cleaning the counters.
"S-school…" lucifer said a little bit baffled by the word. "What's that?"
"It's where you go to learn things."
"Why can't you just do that at home."
"That's called homeschooling, Luci." The little girl said, butting in. "Is that what you did...I mean what you do in heaven?"
Lucifer shrugged a little. "Not sure if that's what you would call it, but probably. Do you learn how to be a good angel at school?"
Chloe held back a little laugh, as Trixie started a to giggle a little. Both of the women laughing just a little at the devil. As his expression turned sour.
"Why are you making fun of me." He growled a little as his eyes flashed red. They both froze immediately at that. His eyes still red, even as they stopped.
"L-Lucifer...were not making fun of you."
"It sure seemed like it!" He growled a little. Trixie backed away from him a bit.
"We weren't I promise," Chloe said as she took a step closer to him. "It's ok Lucifer."
The young devil's eyes changed back to normal, as a flicker in his eyes showed her that the Lucifer she knew was back in control. Only for a brief moment though. "I'm sorry…" Lucifer said lowering his head. "I didn't mean to."
Chloe moved over to him and lowered herself to his level. "It's ok Lucifer. I understand that it's hard to control it sometimes." She wasn't speaking to the child in that moment. She was speaking to her friend. The devil she knew. That man that would sacrifice everything for her time and time again without giving it a second thought. The man that had been treated as a villain his whole life. Destined to torture dead humans for a lifetime. Who's anger tended to control his thoughts, even when he tried to ignore it. She was talking to that devil, that Lucifer Morningstar.
Telling the little bit of him that was in there, that she understood.
Chloe kissed Trixie on her head as she sent her off to her school day. "Bye, monkey," Chloe said as she waved to her daughter, as she ran off into the school. Chloe slipped into the car and smiled at the devil who sat in the back seat. staring absentmindedly out the window.
Trixie hadn't said a word to him since his blow up after breakfast. Chloe sighed a little knowing the devil took it personally. She figured that was another part of her Lucifer. The one who knew he hadn't meant to scare her young daughter. The one who didn't want to be seen as a monster. The man locked far away inside a child's mind and body.
"It will be ok Lucifer, she will come around."
He didn't say a word just kept staring out the window.
Chloe started to drive back to her apartment when a call popped up on the screen of her car.
Maze.
"Hey, Maze." The detective said sweetly into the blue tooth. Chloe could hear Lucifer shuffling in the back, as she continued to drive.
"I found him."
"Amenidial?"
"Who the fu-"
"Maze, there's a child in the car." Chloe interrupted the demon before she could finish.
"He isn't actually a child," Maxed said in annoyed tone.
"I know that...but you know...he doesn't," Chloe said in a hushed tone. The last thing she wanted was for Lucifer to find out, and freak out. Get upset at them for not telling him what/who he truly was.
Just the mere misunderstanding earlier that morning almost lead to a complete disaster. Who knows what he could do if he was truly angered.
"So, where Is he?" Chloe asked, pulling herself out of her own head space, and bringing her roommate back into the conversation.
"At the apartment, where are you?"
"We're on our way," Chloe said as she looked back at Lucifer. Who had returned his attention back to the window? His arm rested against the side of the car. His gaze far off into the distance. Fully engrossed in his own thought. A look she had seen him have before. As her eyes turned to look back at the road, after the split second gaze at Lucifer. In the corner of her eyes, she could have sworn she saw her Lucifer's reflection in the window.
Another call started to come in just as Chloe's eyes stared back at the road. "It's, Daan. Maze I gotta go. We will be there in a few minutes."
Before the demon could protest Chloe dropped the call and picked up Dan's.
"Hey, Chloe."
"Hi, Dan."
Lucifer pulled his gaze from the window again. Clearly recognizing the name. The devil smirked a little, as he mouthed Douche to himself.
"Chief said you called out for the week, is everything ok?"
Chloe rolled her eyes a little. Typical of Dan to call several days after the fact. He had been on the scene when it had happened. Almost prevented Chloe from dragging Lucifer into her car. Though she pushed him aside, knowing a hospital was not an option for the devil.
While Lucifer had come clean to Chloe he was still apprehensive about telling the others. Especially Dan, which Chloe found odd. Possibly due to the fact that Dan and Amenadiel have a sort of relationship. While Lucifer may bad mouth his father worshiping brother, he did truly care for him. Lucifer wasn't one to break up a friendship especially one that involved someone he cared about, even if he would never admit it.
"Lucifer is just not feeling well."
"Oh, is he ok?"
Chloe looked at the little devil in the back seat, who just shrugged.
"He got hurt really badly, Dan. Though he says his immortality will help him out." She forced a small laugh out, as Dan laughed a little as well.
"Alright, well I'll come over later and help you out."
Chloe almost choked on air. "Oh, Dan that's ok."
"No, no. Lucifer is a big help...well some of the time. That's the least I can do for him."
"Dan, really it's fine. I got this."
"Nope, I'm coming," Dan said before he hung up. Chloe slammed her fist into the steering wheel, as Lucifer whimpered a little.
Shit.
A few minutes after Dan had hung up on her, Chloe pulled up to the apartment. "Come on Lucifer." She called as he hopped out of the back seat and ran up to her. Taking her hand gingerly as he did. He smiled sweetly up at him, as she ruffled his hair a little. "Hopefully I didn't scare you back there."
He shook his head. "No, not really. Though I guess I should be saying the same thing."
Chloe smiled a little more at that as she pulled her keys out of her pocket. She unlocked the door, only to be greeted by the sound of two people arguing. Chloe took a deep breath as she led Lucifer inside.
Maze and Amenidiel were at the counter arguing about who knows what as Chloe and Lucifer walked in.
"See, I told you." Maze mocked as the young devil ran over to Maze.
"Hi, Mazikeen," Lucifer said hugging her leg. The demon bent down and gently kissed his forehead.
"Hey, there little demon." He laughed a little at that. Chloe couldn't help but wonder how exactly Maze had learned to care, and possibly even love the young devil the way she did.
It was a type of affection Maze didn't show anyone else.
Amenidiel turned his attention to the younger version of his brother. Letting out a soft sigh. "How did this happen?" He said turning his attention towards the detective.
"We were attacked…" Chloe said softly.
"I understand he is mortal around you, Chloe. However what kind of weapon did they use? it could allow us to figure out what's going on more easily."
Chloe thought for a moment. Everything had happened so fast, she could barely remember the events exactly. "I-I don't really remember. It was a bomb...kind of."
"A bomb?" Amenadiel questioned.
Chloe nodded as Lucifer walked over to her. She smiled at him and ruffled his curly hair a little.
"Was there anything different about this 'bomb'" Maze said using air quotes around the word bomb.
Chloe tried to think again as she took a seat at the bar. Lucifer followed her and pulled on her pant leg. She laughed a little and picked him up. Sitting him on her lap. "I don't really remember."
"Come on Decker, you gotta remember something."
Chloe shook her head again. "I really don't. I just remember Lucifer…" she said looking at the little boy. Who starred up at her with dark eyes. "Never mind." She said shaking her head. Knowing the demon and the angel knew exactly what she was getting at.
Amenidial sighed a little. "If we don't have any more information about the bomb then we can't know exactly who, or possibly what did this."
Chloe furrowed her eyebrows. "Wait you think maybe something did this?"
Amenidial, nodded. "It's possible. Lucifer could have a bounty on his head in the high heavens at this point."
Lucifer looked at Chloe again. "What is he talking about Chloe?"
"Oh, nothing sweetie."
Did she just call him sweetie? Her? To him?
She sat the little devil back on the floor. "Hey, Lucifer why don't you go fix up Trixie and you's fort. I think that would make her very happy."
Lucifer liked that idea a lot and took off to Trixie's room to go and fix up the fort.
"Alright," Chloe said sitting back down at the bar. "So, anything could have done this?"
Both Maze and Amenidial nodded.
"Great." Chloe let out a frustrated groan. "Any idea what it could be at least?"
Alenideil shrugged. "Not unless we find out more about this bomb. If we figure out what it was made of it could allow us to narrow down what possible entities could have done it."
"Or possible siblings." Maze butted in.
"Yes, that too."
"You think one of your siblings did this?"
"Who knows. It's a possibility." Amenidial said softly. "He isn't very well liked back home."
"Yeah, I kind of figured that. But wanting to kill your own brother?"
"We do as father asks. We tend not to question anymore."
Because if they questioned it led to hell, and for one of them that was quite literal. Chloe understood that and it kind of made sense that no one would want to go against their father after what had happened to Lucifer. They had just kept their mouths shut, and did as they were told. Like mindless drones. Lucifer could never stand for that. She knew a part of him deep down would rather be outcast then live as a mindless drone, even if that meant being vilified for all of intermittent as he was.
"Dan insisted on coming over sometime today," Chloe said hesitantly. "I thought at first that could be bad, and it still is. However, he may remember some details about the bomb."
Maze and Amenidiel both looked at each other. As if to ask whether or not they thought that was a good idea without saying a word. However, Chloe answered it for them.
"I know you guys don't want Dan to find out...but I feel like he deserved to know. Especially after Charlotte."
That had been the bomb that had taken Chloe by surprise. That Charlotte had been Lucifer's mother. The mom he would never let her meet. The women that always seemed to get tangled in all of Lucifer's business, even when he insisted that they had no relation. Yes, she did know she was his stepmother for a brief period, however being Lucifer's actual mother. The goddess of all creation. That Lucifer had sent her to another dimension so she couldn't harm anyone. Thus allowing the actual Charlotte Richards to return to her body. Was a completely different pill to swallow. Though no one had a harder time with Charlotte returning to normal than Dan.
He had fallen hard for the goddess and everything she did. When she had woken on the beach with no memory of anything that had happened, Dan had been crushed. Barely talking to anyone for several days as she tried to mend things with Charlotte to no avail.
"She's right," Amenideil said.
"Wait you agree?" Maze and Chloe said at the same time.
Amenidial nodded. "Yes, he deserves to know. After everything."
Chloe smiled a little. "Well glad we worked that out quickly. Now, what about Lucifer?"
"What about him?" Maze said, a little sliver of worry escaping her lips.
"He um...has his powers."
"Which powers," Amenidial asked.
"The fires of hell," Chloe said rubbing the back of her neck. "His eyes glowed this morning when he got upset."
"Well, it could be worse. He could have his angelic powers as well." Maze said with a slight chuckle. "Wait, does he have his angelic powers?"
Chloe shrugged. "I'm not sure. How would we know?"
"His wings," Amenidial said firmly.
"Wait, what difference would that have? He has his wing now in his future body."
"Those are new wings, Chloe. We would know if we saw the old ones." He started to head towards her bedroom. "Come on Chloe I'm gonna need your help."
Chloe immediately jumped down from the stool and followed after the fallen angel.
"What's the plan."
"We're gonna force his wings out."
"Alright, and how do your propose we do that."
"Like this, sorry in advance Chloe." He firmly took her shoulder and tossed her into the room.
Chloe hit the ground with a thud. Knocking the wind out of her in the process. "W-what the…" was all she could muster as Amenidial came over and picked her up by the neck. His hold was gentle but firm. Not squeezing any of the air out of her lungs as she did.
Chloe knew then what the plan was. To scare Lucifer, by attacking the one thing they all knew he cared about. Her.
Lucifer immediately came out of the fort and saw Amenidiel holding Chloe in his grasp.
Chloe looked at him, not saying or doing anything. If this was gonna come back and bit them in the ass later, she wasn't gonna have any of it. She needed him on her side right now. She needed him to trust her through all of this.
"W-what are you doing…" Lucifer aid as tears started to spill from his eyes. Chloe couldn't look anymore. Her heart breaking at the sight of the young devil crying.
"I'm just doing what I should have done from the start." Amenidial lifted his hand up, going in to strike Chloe. When his hand was suddenly stopped.
Long white features blocked Amenidial from finishing his fake blow on the Detective. Causing him to immediately drop Chloe. She fell to the floor with a thud, as she turned her gaze towards Lucifer.
Beautiful white wings extended out of Lucifer's body. However, they looked almost metallic and less like feathers. Something very different from the wings he had shown her not too long ago.
The worst thing Maze could have predicted came true.
Lucifer was the young light brighter once more.
AN:Hope you guys enjoy, let me know what you think.
