I do not own Lucifer.
Lilith walked through a park the following day. She had no idea why she wanted to be outside, enjoying the weather, it was so unlike her.
Then out of nowhere came a biker. It almost hit her.
As if she didn't have enough things going wrong in her life already. "Watch it!"
The biker must not have been paying attention, it drove right into oncoming traffic. Which caused a car accident, involving four cars.
Lilith liked destruction but something about it did not sit well with her. Something was off. Then a cold wind swept around her and her eyes were drawn across the park. She was so sure she saw someone she knew, or rather remembered from a lifetime ago. And he was behind the biker and the cars. That was his thing, causing chain reactions of destruction.
She walked across the park, avoiding all eye contact everyone. There was a small play being performed and in the second row was a familiar head. He was the only one there, everyone else including the performers had left to do what they could do for their fellow man.
Lilith weighed her choices. She didn't want to deal with another brother who would judge her. But she was curious, why was Uriel on Earth?
So she sat down next to him. "What are you doing in my neck of woods?"
"Your neck of the woods? I thought you preferred the heat. And is that how you do greetings? Seems rude." Uriel hadn't even turned to look at her and she was the rude one?
"I don't have time for pleasantries, sorry. Answer my question."
"I'm here for Mother, since neither you or Lucifer seem to want to take her back where she belongs."
Lilith wasn't sure what to say. He was helping them? Yes, that's all she wanted, to have her mother out of her life for good. But what did Uriel want in return?
He was an angel, he shouldn't want anything in return for a good deed. But Lilith had a feeling there was so much he wasn't saying. "What do you want from me if I give you Mother?"
"Lilith, you are seriously questioning my intentions? Earth and Hell certainly made you suspicious."
"Hazards of the location I'm afraid." Silence between them. "You aren't going to tell me, are you?"
"You wouldn't do it on nothing but good faith?"
Now Lilith laughed. Good faith? She hadn't that in eons. And she was not going to start now. She was done with him.
Uriel didn't move when Lilith stood up. They hadn't been friends in Heaven and they certainly weren't going to start now. She had nothing else to say to him and didn't want to hear anything from him.
"Do you know why Mother was banished to Hell?" He causally asked.
That made her stop. The question had been in the back of her mind since her mother had joined them in the land of tortured souls. Not that Lilith was really that interested, but she was curious.
Uriel understood her body language and answered his own question. "She tried to raise another rebellion. But this time she was caught."
"One wasn't enough for her?" Lilith wanted to vomit. Did Mother think so little of her own children, that they could be played with then tossed aside?
"Now that I told you the truth, you know what you have to do. At least one of you will listen. I always admired you, Lilith…"
He would have said more but was stopped when Lilith's hand closed around his throat. "Don't. You never admired me. And don't think you know me."
She returned to Lux much later that day to find Lucifer at the bar upstairs. He wasn't alone. Their mother sat on the couch across the room.
"If any more angels come down here, we are going to have to rent a place for the family reunion." Lilith remarked.
"You saw Uriel?" Lucifer asked.
"Yes, and he offered to take Mother back."
"I know, I saw him too."
Lilith paused. Lucifer saw Uriel and Mother was still here? Had he also refused Uriel's offer?
"I'm offering to go." Charlotte suddenly said.
Lilith whirled around to stare. Now she was willing to go back to Hell? What made Uriel so special that Mother would go with him? "Lucifer? I know you won't take her back and won't let me. She's agreeing to go…" Lilith stared at her brother. "You aren't going to let him, are you?"
"No, I am not going to play his games or give into Uriel of all people." Lucifer stated then stood up. "I will take care of this." And he headed to the door.
Take care of this? What did that mean? Before Lilith was able to ask, Lucifer was in the elevator and gone.
Lilith actually looked at her mother for an explanation. But Charlotte had nothing and sat back down.
So Lilith began to pace.
"Pacing isn't going to make him come back sooner, Lilith" Charlotte said.
Well, her mother used her real name, something terrible was going to happen. Lilith could feel it.
Hours later, the elevator door opened and Lucifer stood there. He was disheveled and bloody.
Blood? Whose blood? Did Lucifer…? Was Uriel…?
"I killed him." Lucifer sounded so broken as he spoke the words.
Lilith's hands flew to cover her mouth. She should have gone to Lucifer's side, to comfort him. But she couldn't move.
Instead of having his sister by his side, Charlotte walked up to her son and pulled him into a hug. And he broke down sobbing.
Lilith felt empty and when she was able to move, she did. But she chose the balcony. Her hands wrapped around the railing and her eyes went skywards. How had Daddy let this happen? One son kill another son? Was history repeating itself?
Shock and horror.
