Quinn

To be honest I never really expected to see Lucifer again, I was one hundred percent sure of it in fact. So I wasn`t sure if I was angry, happy or surprised to see him; maybe a mix of all three? At first I wanted to get up on my feet, but whatever that demon was doing still held me down unwillingly. I swear if Lucifer just leaves me here with him...

"My lord...?" the demon tensed up as the devil coyly took a few steps forward; looking slightly bored.

"I know that demons have been in my crypt." he stated bluntly and to be honest it took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about "I want to know what they took."

"Crowley had us search for your crypt." the demon seemed to be willing to co-operate and a glance at Lucifers expression told me that the devil was rather disappointed by that fact "But the mission was a failure and the angels got what we were looking for..."

"And you didn`t take anything else?" his voice seemed a little mocking.

"No..." the demon furrowed his eyebrows again then quickly added "sir."

"Alright." he devil just shrugged "Carry on." and on that note he turned away.

"Wait!" I almost screamed before biting my tongue in frustration. Can you at least try not to sound like such a helpless damsel Quinn? I mentally scolded myself.

"What?" he glanced at me with irritation.

"You can`t actually leave me here... like this... with him." I gestured towards the demon who still seemed to be recovering his grip on reality.

"Yes I can." Lucifer stated "I`ll prove it; here watch-"

"No!" I snapped again and the look he gave me was pure evil.

"Watch your tone Quinn." he sneered and I gulped a little. How the hell does Ella deal with this guy? I can`t even ask for help without getting a demonic glare; may god help her. Deciding I was really in no position to argue, I bit down my pride and in a politer tone asked: "Please... help?"

Now it was Lucifers turn to exchange glances with the demon, who just blinked at him expectantly.

"Leave." the devil told him.

"But my lord I-" the demon began to argue.

"Now." he added with a little more irritation.

"I can`t do that sir..." the demon seemed to be choosing his words carefully "I`m under direct orders, I`m sure you understand?"

"What`s your name, demon?" Lucifer turned to face the demon directly, folding his arms a little ignorantly.

"...Kyzer." he hesitated before answering.

"Alright then; Kyzer." for a moment the devil smiled innocently but his voice sounded so cold and dark, I couldn`t help but shiver myself "You`re begging to upset me."

"My lord I can`t let her go, I`m sorry." Kyzer insisted and Lucifer was clearly not amused.

"You don`t seem to understand a little something. Either you leave or I tear your entire being apart, slowly and painfully in every way you fear. That; I promise."

"But Crowley will-"

"Okay: enough, I give up." on that note Lucifer snapped his fingers and the demon blew up. Literally blew up. At this moment I`m pretty grateful I`m far enough to avoid all the blood which was now scattered over the forest floor. My relief was short lived though as I realized I was now alone with Lucifer, and he just blew someone up because they were being disobedient...

"Well there goes my perfect record." the devil sighed and I just blinked at him.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"Never mind." he rolled his eyes "Can I go now, or do you need someone to hold your hand and walk you back to your car?" he mocked.

"Why? Are you offering?" I played along.

"Not likely." he scoffed and turned away again.

"Where you going?" I asked.

"Giving Crowley a visit." he replied.

"Wait, why? What for?"

"The little British twit was in my crypt, if he did take something he wouldn`t tell the other demons."

"What are you looking for? What did he take?"

"Doesn`t really concern you..."

"Whatever." I decided to take this moment to get back onto my feet. I had better things to do then catch up with the devil, so expectantly my eyes turned to the direction of my car. The 'meteor' storm had ended a while ago and I could see hints of the sun rising. I should really be on my way. Besides the demons already know I`m here, it`d be useless staying in this town now. It seems they`re always one step ahead of me, making it impossible to take a break; would it ever end?

Suddenly something clicked in my head: Lucifer was going to go see Crowley, if I came with, I might be able to figure out what the hell he wants from me? Of course there`s a large chance Crowley might not be keen of me leaving with that information, could I actually trust Lucifer to look out for me? Nah, probably not but still...

"Let me come?" I asked "I need to have a talk with Crowley, these demons have been after me for long enough."

"I`m not babysitting." he replied smoothly.

"You won`t have too." I assured him "Just drop me back here when we`re done?"

"Nah, no need to make this complicated for myself."

"Ella would do it." I cut in, exploiting his weak spot.

"That`s totally irrelevant." he scowled.

"But true." I added.

"Fine..." he groaned, walking towards me with a displeased look in his eye. Instead of offering me his hand like he did Ella, he placed a single finger on my shoulder and next thing I know my surroundings had changed.

Ella

I didn`t remember falling asleep, but soon I found myself waking up to see rays of sunlight pouring out the window, giving the living room a warm glow. Curtly, I sat up, realizing I had fallen asleep on a chair and lying across from me on the couch was the fallen angel. A part of me was hoping it was a dream; I didn`t really need these complications, especially not now when things were starting to go so well. Either way, I had already decided to help him; now I had to stay true to that.

I soon noticed that the change of light was effecting him too, because he began to stir, once again his eyes opened and he struggled to sit up. His arms shook a little and the look on his face was full of dread, fear and confusion.

"Where am I?" he asked slowly as if still regaining full consciousness "What`s happening?"

"Relax." okay Ella, don`t scare the poor thing, but don`t let him get too comfortable. You still don`t know who he is or what he`s capable of "You fell during the storm..."

"I know that." he snapped a little rudely "But... where am I?"

"My... house?" I answered "You fell not far from here, are you okay?"

"I..." he strained to get up before gasping in pain and dropping back on the couch "My wings are injured... I can`t... I can`t teleport."

"It`s okay, just-"

"You probably think I`m crazy." he interrupted "You`re just a human, you don`t understand..."

"Don`t understand what?" I scoffed "That you`re an angel?"

He seemed legitimately shocked at me knowing that.

"Are you a hunter of sorts?" he perked up a little now "Have you encountered my kind beforehand?"

"Well yes..." how the hell do I answer this? "I`m not a hunter though, but let`s just say I`ve met a few angelic beings in my time."

"It is comforting to know I`m not dealing with a completely ignorant human." he smiled refreshingly.

"Er... thanks?" I shrugged "So your wings; how long`s that going to take to heal?"

"Two or three days at minimum." he answered quickly and I held in my sigh. There was no way I could keep Lucifer away for two or three days and I was doubtful that he`d agree with us keeping an angel. If I knew the devil; and I did, he would either throw the angel to the road or tear him apart and neither would do him any good in this state.

"Can`t you heal any faster?" I asked almost pleadingly.

"No." his response was frank.

"Aw..." I groaned quietly. Alright Ella, calm down, there`s no reason to panic just yet; let`s just follow along for now and deal with the situation when it happens. "So, what`s your name?"

"Kayel, I`m an angel of the lord." he introduced himself much like Cas would.

"I`m Ella." I smiled politely but he didn`t seem to be too interested. Instead he continued to struggle to stand, releasing groans and grunts of effort. Trying not to roll my eyes, I walked over to him and held him down against the couch: "Look Kayel, you`re just going to hurt yourself if you keep this up. You said it yourself; you need time to heal, so just lay back and take that time."

He grimaced but to my relief; didn`t argue as I took a step back.

"How about some TV?" I offered, glancing at the flat screen which sat a few meters away. The angel only cocked an eyebrow in response and I wondered if he even knew what a television was.

"Don`t worry, I`m sure you`ll like it." I assured him before taking a seat on the couch too, taking extra care to put a decent amount of space between us. I propped myself up with one hand and used the other to turn on the TV, scrolling through channels until I found one suitable for an angels... innocent mind. Finally I put the remote down and 'Americas got Talent' began to play.

"Me and my... boyfriend, are always watching this show." I said enthusiastically "I think you`ll like it too."

"Boyfriend?" he perked up again "So there is more than one human in this establishment? Where is he?"

"Well..." what was I supposed to say? No he`s actually not human but in fact the devil, which means you and him are probably not going to get along. And no matter how much I lecture him on being civilized, he`s probably going to incinerate your winged ass in the end so yeah... "He`s not home at the moment."

"Oh." Kayel accepted my answer without another question, his gaze locking on the television screen as a magic act began to play.

Lucifer C:

It seems I can`t stay away from this place, because here I was again; back in my old office with Crowley gawking at me while some random demon lady was straddling his hips and kissing him wildly. Talk about timing? Before either of us could really make a move, Quinn burst out into laughter as the other demon struggled to get off the British king without making too much of a fuss. Now she was blushing at us wildly before exchanging a glance with Crowley and disappearing.

"Couldn`t you have dropped by after an hour or so?" Crowley looked disappointed "It was just getting fun... Been a while since I had such a sweet, obedient little demon at my mercy, most of them are just bitches. There was this one though-"

"Crowley." I raised a hand for silence "I`m not here to hear about your sex life."

"Then what are you here for? Do tell." the king leaned back in his chair "I`ve also noticed you brought the blonde. That`s really considerate, you can just drop her off in the other room and we can take this conversation else were?"

"Shut the hell up Crowley." Quinn sneered at him and the demon faked a hurt expression.

"Such language?" he shook his head "I really thought we had a connection, love."

"Cut the crap." she continued and I decided to let her have her moment before I pressed onto more important things "I know you've been sending demons after me. What the hell is it you want?"

"And you really expect me to answer?" he cocked an eyebrow.

"Listen you sadistic, cocky bastard..." she threatened.

"I love it when you talk dirty to me." he winked at her before turning his eyes to me expectantly.

"You`re really good at irritating women." I noted and he grinned arrogantly.

"I am a little curious though..." he began "What brings you here? I kind of thought you were locked away or something, considering you just disappeared without a word. Don`t tell me your here for the bloody kingdom..."

"Not today." my lips curled up in a bit of a smile "So I hear there`s been demons snooping around my crypt."

"And where`d you hear a thing like that?" he faked surprise.

"A very reliable source." I replied firmly "So Crowley, what did you take? And don`t bother lying, I`m really not in the mood."

"Well you caught me." he raised his hands in a mock surrender "I`ve been in that lovely little crypt of yours, stole a few things; papyrus files, some of those weird marble trinkets. Don`t really know what they do but they make fabulous paperweights."

"And the cup?" I asked almost immediately, slowly becoming impatient.

"What cup?" he furrowed his black eyebrows together.

"You know exactly which cup I`m talking about." my voice came out all cold and dark, and frankly I enjoyed the way he flinched.

"Oh that cup..." he smiled innocently "I was keeping it in a safe house in Oregon, I can give you the coordinates."

"Yes you will." I grumbled and he snapped his fingers, making a piece of paper appear in front of him as he pulled out a slick pen and began to scribble down the coordinates.

"Hold up." Quinn intercepted again "You still need to answer me Crowley."

"No love, I do not." he responded half-heartedly, his attention on the paper.

"Lucifer?" she glanced at me, probably expecting help I wasn`t willing to give.

"Oh come on..." she pleaded a little "Do something, Ella would..."

"Quinn." I glared at her now "I swear if you try to use her against me one more time, I will leave you here and let the little twit." I gestured at Crowley "do whatever he damn pleases to you."

She opened her mouth to argue but thought better of it and kept quiet. Now, I probably should just take this moment to leave, but it was a little too late. She had already brought Ella into the conversation and I couldn`t help but feel slightly guilty at the thought of her finding out I didn`t help her best friend...

"Tell her what she wants to know." I muttered dryly, walking over to pick up the piece of paper as Crowley blinked at me.

"You can`t be bloody serious..." the demon groaned.

"Do I look like I`m joking?" I rolled my eyes a little ignorantly as I glanced at the coordinates before stuffing the paper into my pockets. I didn`t need it anymore though; I already had the numbers memorized.

"Be reasonable my lord." Crowley bit his lower lip almost pleadingly which was now starting to make me curious myself. What was it that Crowley wanted with her? Why`s he so scared to give it away?

"I`m counting to five." I stated bluntly "Before I splatter you over the walls." Crowley stiffened in his chair.

"Lucifer, darling, a demon needs to keep a few secrets." he smirked a little hopefully.

"One." I began my countdown regardless.

"This is absolutely, most certainly unfair."

"Two."

"Come now, I`m sure we can come to some understanding?"

"Three."

"My lord..."

"Four."

"Alright!" he sighed, falling back in his chair and gulping nervously.

"I advise that you don`t lie." I smiled a little now "I`ll be able to tell."

"Well you see..." Crowley was starting to sweat a little now "It`s a simple game of connections and control. Quinn was the only one I had a chance of capturing, thus she`d become quite a peculiar bargaining chip..."

He went silent and I ushered him on with a simple glare.

"So..." he continued "If I had Quinn, I could use her to get a certain someone into my grasp. And if I had that certain someone, I could use her to control a certain someone else. So you see it`s just connection and control, all that boring stuff. You`ve probably got better things to do, so I`ll be on my way..."

"Crowley..." I said his name mockingly, almost in a sing-song voice "I like guessing games, I really do. So since you started blabbering, I`ve been guessing who these certain someones are and now I need you to confirm my guess. Give me names."

The demon looked like he was about to explode from nervousness, but instead he took a deep breath and I exchanged glances with Quinn who seemed to be catching on now. I decided to give the demon a moment, but he didn`t dare speak.

"Well my guess." Quinn began to speak before I could threaten him again "Is that after you get me, you trade me away for someone who`d do anything to save me. And then you`d use that person to control him." she gestured towards me "So in the end you want control of the devil? Pfft, good luck with that. But the thing is, who`s the middle person?"

We all already knew the answer and we were just waiting for Crowley to admit it.

"Ella." he finally blurted and as soon as the name left his mouth, the ground began to shake. Even without eyes, anyone could clearly tell I was beyond outraged. My entire being was leaking out an aura of pure anger, and the fact that the ground was shaking only added to the fact that the little demon had stepped over the line. Trying to manipulate me is one thing, and honestly I could care less, but the fact that he was willing to use Ella. My Ella, to do that; was beyond forgiveness.

"Oh bollocks." the demon sighed and even Quinn seemed to be afraid for him. She really should be though, there was no mercy now. Not for anyone.
