Of Queens

And Supplies

Disclaimer: Had this idea hit me while I was in the shower.

Summary: What if Thea had managed to get out of Starling before The Siege had started? What if she had ended up in LA just as a certain nightclub was in its beginning stages by a certain Devil?

"I'm almost beginning to find that Hell was a lot easier to run than this place here on Earth, Maze." Muttered one Lucifer Morningstar to a dark skinned woman known as Maze.

One respectively being the ruler of Hell until he decided to take a vacation and Maze, his ever faithful Demon went with him in order to keep a watchful eye on him. Well, that and other things as well but we're not gonna get into that at the moment. "Yeah, life is definitely simpler down there."

Not to mention a whole lot less brighter for that matter too! Lucifer continued to rant about the difficulties he'd found himself dealing with while trying to start up LUX until a female voice interrupted. "I could help you with those problems if you wanted."

Both Lucifer and Maze turned to look in the direction of the voice to see a dark haired young Human clothed in an outfit Humans with a great deal of money would be able to afford. Or at least the former Ruler of Hell believed at any rate given his somewhat limited understanding of Mortal things. Instantly, Maze was on her feet but Lucifer quickly kept her from going further. "And who might you be?" Asked the Morningstar in a charming manner as he came up to her.

Making the young lady's eyebrows raise in response. "Thea Queen."

She scowled when he looked her over with Lust easily seen in his eyes. "Such a fitting last name for a beautiful young Human such as yourself."

"Yeah, you might want to try that on someone else because I'm not interested." Thea told the British man while trying NOT to think of Walter considering his own British origins.

Maze was rather surprised by that response and Lucifer himself was momentarily put out by it as well. And made him think that perhaps this Human would present a challenge. "Then what is it you desire most?" He asked of her instead.

Knowing that particular skill would have a certain kind of effect on her. "I… I, to never be lied too again." Thea told him and then shook her head afterwards.

Feeling a little confused and wondering what the Hell had just happened! "Well, wasn't expecting that." Muttered Lucifer as he turned away and headed back to where Maze was and downed a drink.

"So what makes you think you can help us?" Maze asked.

"While this is a completely different city and state and could take a bit to fully organize, I know how to get in touch with the types of Suppliers you need for this place and what its likely to cost. Whether that's for Alcohol, Security, Dancers, DJs, Waitresses, or otherwise. I can be your Assistant Manager basically."

Thea watched as the two looked at one another before looking to her and it'd be the man who would speak up first. "And in exchange, no lying to you?"

"That, along with a place to stay and a steady paycheck as what funds I have now won't last forever." She replied with a slight waver to her voice and tried her best to not think about that horrible night where she lost her mother and all the Hell surrounding that…

The two looked at each other again and Maze shrugged. "If she can help, then she can help. If not, oh well." She'd happily toss the Human outside on her ass if it came down to it.

Well… Maybe she'd have a little fun first before doing that! Lucifer thought it over for a moment before grinning widely and approached the young Human with his hand out. "Then I do believe we have a deal, Ms. Queen."

Thea took his hand and shook it. "Then let's get started." She replied.

Eager to have something to focus her mind on and helping these two out would do greatly in that.

Author's Notes: Well, that was fun!
