Hey peeps, TGWWS here with chapter 3 of Lucifer: Like Father, Like Son. Now, I've just seen the preview for season 3 thanks to the YouTube channel INSTEAD of my American friend who basically said that she'd get info on ANYTHING concerning Doctor Who or Lucifer cause she was going to Comic-Con. (Okay, she did pull through on the Doctor Who and Lucifer panel. She didn't show me any video footage though. That would've been helpful) I would've been there as well, but unfortunately, I can't afford it right now. I WILL BE BACK THERE SOME DAY THOUGH!
Anyway, the last chapter saw Hades return to Hell and Lucifer storm off to Lux after an incident involving Chloe and Hades which outed the true nature of Lucifer, Hades, Ammenadiel and Maze to Chloe. This chapter sees her trying to rectify her mistakes with Hades. Plus, Lucifer and Hades have a very fatherly chat.
REVIEW TIME… (Wait, there's no new ones? None at all? You sure about this, Daniel?) Sorry, but there's been no new reviews. That's a shocker.
Also, a HUGE thank you to kiskaduna for putting this story into her community titled "my favourite stories", and yet more thank you's to everybody who's followed or favourited this story. Double thumbs up to the people who did BOTH.
Anyway, you all know I do not own Lucifer. DC, Vertigo and FOX own the rights.
Lucifer: Like Father, Like Son Part 3
Chloe sighed. She'd managed to wreck two very important relationships within the space of three minutes earlier tonight. She'd ruined Lucifer's relationship with his son by making Hades angry, making the hot-headed boy, sorry, Devil, reveal his and his father's true identities to her, which also wrecked her relationship with Lucifer, and she was now becoming depressed.
"She's asleep" came the voice of Maze as she came into the sitting room of the flat she and Chloe shared. Ammenadiel was already in the sitting room, but was far more interested in something that was on the TV rather than Chloe's inner turmoil. "Turn the damn thing off" Chloe said, grabbing the remote from the Angel, and doing it herself. Ammenadiel just groaned.
"Chloe, you do realise that what happened tonight cannot be easily fixed" he said, gaining Chloe's attention as Maze poured them a scotch. Chloe nodded sadly. "I know that, but to think that you've been keeping your real identities a secret…" she started, before she was cut off by Hellfire in her living room, and then two massive angelic wings appearing out of nowhere.
Hades had returned. And he wasn't happy.
"Maze, why'd you call me here? I was watching Doctor Who!" he said, and instantly Ammenadiel winced. He knew it was NEVER a good idea to pull Hades away from the sci-fi show. He did that once, and it took 5 weeks for the massive TARDIS-shaped bruise on his forehead to fade.
"HADES" came the sound of Trixie's voice, instantly calming the young Devil as the little girl in question ran to hug her best friend. "Hey, Trix. I thought you were asleep" he said calmly as he embraced the hug, wrapping his wings around her. "I couldn't sleep" she said. Chloe chose that point to clear her throat. Hades looked at her, and retracted his wings so Chloe could see her daughter.
"Hades, I want to apologise for earlier on tonight. I was afraid, but I didn't get the chance to think in that moment about how long Lucifer's been around and didn't harm us" she said, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. Hades used his wing to pull her close so that he could give her a hug. "It's all right, Chloe. It's water under the bridge" he said as Chloe returned the embrace. "To be honest, I got a little bit angrier than I should've" he said, instantly calming Chloe as her daughter joined in the hug. "Don't cry, mommy" she said.

After the embrace, the three sat down on the couch. "Thinking about it, I should've been calmer. I just found out that Lucifer wasn't lying and is the Devil, but he hasn't hurt me or Chloe in the time that I've known him" Chloe said. "People make the Devil out to be a bad guy, but actually, he punishes people that deserve it. Trust me, Dad loves you a lot and he would never harm you or anyone you consider your friend" Hades said, comforting Chloe as she sniffed.
"Including Dan?" she asked.
"Yes, although he could scare him off" Hades replied, making Chloe laugh.
"I would pay to see that" Chloe said, before returning to the silence that was in the room earlier.
"Chloe, it was me that's at fault in Dad's eyes, not you. You're not responsible for his actions towards me" Hades said. "But, now that you know his secret, he won't contact you unless he really needs you. He feels like I've scared you away" he explained. Chloe nodded. "You know, we were having a fun date. He took me to the cinema to see Despicable Me 3, then took me to a fancy restaurant. We were heading to a dancing club when Ammenadiel texted us" Chloe said, sniffling. "I do love the man, even though I know he's the Devil, and not he won't talk to me" she said, before bursting into tears. Hades motioned to Maze, who started comforting Chloe as he got up. "Where are you going, Hades?" asked Ammenadiel
"I think it's time for me and dad to have a little father and son chat" he said, as he walked out the door, flew up in the air and headed to Lux.

At Lux, Lucifer was in tears. His stupid son had ruined EVERYTHING by getting angry with Chloe for NO reason. He threw his glass at the wall and it shattered as he collapsed on the floor, tucking his legs up to his chest. He'd been heading to a dance club with Chloe, and he was FINALLY going to confess his feelings when Ammenadiel texted Chloe saying young Beatrice had been kidnapped.
His son had thankfully managed to save the young spawn, but he found out that there cover had been blown thanks to his brother, but when Chloe was quite rightfully having a go at Hades for not being careful enough, Hades had blown his cover and revealed his true self, making Lucifer rush out the door and back to Lux.
Oh how he wanted to kill his son.
His son, who was standing on his balcony, unbeknownst to Lucifer.
"Dad?" he said carefully, and then had to dodge a shot glass being thrown at his face. "GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I SEND YOU BACK WITH NO WAY OF GETTING OUT" Lucifer shouted at Hades, eyes turning pure Hellfire. His son was surprisingly undeterred with his father's fit of anger. "You wouldn't kill your own son, cause you know the penalty" Hades said in a stern voice.
Lucifer's knees buckled. He'd forgotten the penalty. If an angel killed their offspring, then the angel gave up the one thing that was truly dear to them. In Lucifer's case, one Chloe Decker.
"Why are you here?" Lucifer asked, venom in his voice. "To do the Macarena. Why do you think I'm fucking here, Dad?" Hades said sarcastically. "I've cleared everything up with Chloe, wings out, so now it's you" he added, and Lucifer's eyes went from Hellfire to brown. "You showed Chloe your wings?" he asked carefully. "Yes dad. She isn't scared of you, even though your real face is basically a burning butt" Hades responded, getting a laugh out of Lucifer.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Hades answered it while Lucifer propped himself against the table. He was lost in thought. Chloe wasn't scared of him, which meant he still had a chance with her. Although things were bound to be awkward between the two of them, seeing she was a human and he is LITERALLY the Lord of Hell.
"How long are you going to be?" Hades said, as Lucifer zoned back into the conversation. "45 minutes. Okay. I'll sort everything out here. Be safe" he said, before hanging up the phone. "Chloe's on her way here. So, we're gonna have a little talk, and then get you cleaned up for the Detective" he said, making Lucifer's eyes bulge out of his head.
"Look, I know I revealed our identities to Chloe against your wishes, but Trixie would've told her anyway. Would you have preferred a family member telling her our secret, or a little girl? Plus, before you go on about why I didn't protect her well enough, the kidnappers got her when she was at the little girl's room. I couldn't exactly go in there, could I?" Hades explained.
"No" Lucifer responded.
"So, me, Mazikeen and Ammenadiel made plans to go and get Trixie without getting you or Chloe involved. Obviously, my righteous, good-for-nothing uncle told you, which is how this mess got started in the first place. So, if anyone's to blame, it's him" Hades said
"Yeah. That surprises me. He was always good at following orders" Lucifer said, seemingly more calmed than before.
"Maybe because it's not 'Daddy dearest' giving the order, he's not inclined to follow them" Hades added before both of them burst into tears of laughter. One of their favourite past-times was making fun of Ammenadiel. "Well, at least you've explained it to me, so I won't eat your heart out" Lucifer said. "Dad, please. It'll be me eating YOUR heart" Hades said, before another fit of laughter filled the penthouse of Lux.
"SHIT. CHLOE'S GONNA BE HERE IN 20 MINUTES" Hades said, noticing the time. Lucifer gasped. "Go shower. I'll clean up in here" his son reassured the Devil, who nodded and ran to the bathroom.

15 minutes later, Lucifer walked out to Chloe and Hades having a laugh. He could hear them talking about Ammenadiel.
"You should've seen the look on his face. It was like 'I ain't done fuck all'" Hades said, with Chloe in giggles. Lucifer smiled. Hades was talking about the time when he took Hades to Heaven, because Dear Old Dad wanted to see his grandson. Hades and Gabriel decided to team up and play a prank on Ammenadiel, and set up a bucket of wine over the throne room door. When Ammenadiel went for his daily prayers, the wine went all over his white suit. Dad also found it quite funny as well.
Shame he loves his grandchild more than his own Son.
"You better not be talking about me, Hades" he said, eyes turning crimson red. He checked Chloe's reaction, but she just laughed. Good, she's not scared, he thought, before reverting his eyes back to brown. "Nice to see you again, Detective. Though I wish it was in better circumstances than tonight" he said in a confident voice. "Hades, can you give us some alone time" Chloe asked.
"Sure, but you guys better keep it PG, otherwise I'm stopping it" Hades said as he left the adults in peace.
"Lucifer, I want to talk about tonight" Chloe said.
Lucifer gulped. Here we go.
AN: CLIFFHANGER! I'm getting good at these. Anyway, hoped you liked this update, and be on the lookout for more on my other stories in the near future. I'm trying to get them all at least updated or finished by Christmas 2017.
R&R peeps.
