I do not own Lucifer.

Ok, this is one of my favorite scenes between Lucifer and Lilith.

All the stars shone down on the car as it drove down the empty road. Lilith's head rolled and hit the door, instantly waking her up. She looked around, trying to gain her bearings.

At least Lucifer was awake and alert behind the wheel, so they wouldn't die today.

"You want me to drive?" Lilith asked.

He didn't answer but he did pull the car to the side of the road. He exited the car and lit a cigarette.

She sighed, maybe they had to talk about it, it was like the elephant between them. But the first thing on her mind was the need to stretch her legs. She had lost track of how many hours they had been driving. The 'are we there yet' question hadn't left her mouth. After all, Lilith wasn't a child.

Lilith opened the car door and got out. The road was silent. She walked the length of the car a few times, feeling sand under her feet.

Then she sat herself on the hood of the car, her eyes skywards. Lilith wasn't exactly sure how to describe how she felt. The Heaven stared down at her. "This makes me feel so small." She hadn't meant to say that out loud.

She didn't realize that Lucifer sat himself next to her until he nudged her shoulder. He passed his cigarette to her. She took one long drag before handing it back.

"Are you going to take Dad up on his offer?" Lucifer asked quietly.

There it was, the elephant they had to talk about, the reward for their mission. It was almost too much to even dare to consider.

Lilith gave a heartless chuckle. "I honestly don't know what I want to do about it."

"Just because He offered it, it doesn't mean we have to take it." Lucifer didn't sound as conflicted as she did. He blew smoke out of his mouth.

"I know. It's been so long, what if we…" She couldn't finish her statement.

Lucifer's eyes went towards the Heavens, just like his sister's. The he noticed she kept rolling her shoulders, like she had an ache in her back that she couldn't quite relax. He knew what she was trying to do with no success. "You can take them out if you want to."

Her eyes widened when she turned to look at him. Not that she ever asked her brother's permission but his suggestion was too much. "No, I'm fine."

"Lilith…" Was this really worth fighting about?"

"Lucifer, I respect you too much. I don't want you to feel…" She searched for the right word. "Remorseful."

"That's a first, someone caring about my feelings." He chuckled.

"I'm your sister, it's my job."

"Lilith, just do it." Lucifer stood up and began to walk away. "I wouldn't even look."

She couldn't deny she wanted to free them, even just for a few minutes. And if Lucifer wasn't looking… to Hell with it.

Lilith slid off the hood and focused. Instantly her wings appeared on her back. Her beautiful grey wings just grazed the ground. She stretched them, expanding the entire wingspan. Lilith was so absorbed that she didn't realize she was a few feet in the air.

Her wings were rarely out. Not that she couldn't use them in Hell, she just didn't want Lucifer to see them. Then during her brother's five year absence, Lilith hadn't used them. As beautiful as they were, her wings reminded Lilith of the past and all the bad times, of her choices.

Then the desert blew around her. The sensation was almost over whelming. When was the last time she felt a pure breeze through her wings?

In response, her wings retracted and she didn't have a moment to pull herself together. A gasp of shock escaped her lips. The ground came hard and fast. She would have hit it if Lucifer hadn't caught her.

Lilith couldn't meet his eyes, even after he set her back on her feet. "I still hear them, you know. Your screams when you had Mazikeen cut off your wings." Now she had to the courage to look at him. "Lucifer, I am your sister and you will always have my loyalty, but my wings… that's where I draw the line."

"Following me was enough." He told her, meaning ever word. They stood in silence, staring at each other for a few minutes. "So, ready to hit the road?"

"Vegas yes, after that, no. But we don't have a choice." Lilith followed him to the car. As she opened the door, she looked at him. "You said you wouldn't look."

Lucifer sent her a cheeky smile. "And you think the Devil keeps his promises?"

Hope you liked it too. I think I might be showing a new side of Lilith.
