"Wow, so this is the royal palace huh?"

Lucifer laughs "Yeah, this is it."

"It's beautiful! And it's so big,"

He blushes "You know you…." He sighs "I can't even speak!" He sounds exasperated

"Why?"

"Ahh, I don't think I have to answer you,"

She shrugs "You don't,"

"Anyway, I promised I'd show you my office and your file, so come right this way,"

She followed him up some golden stairs and down a long corridor past many things that looked like they used to be bedrooms abandoned and unclaimed. They walked past a room with a big "C" over it, the door left slightly ajar.

"Was this Charlie's room?" Voe approaches the door

"Uh yeah, yeah," Lucifer rubs the back of his head

"Why's the door open?"

"To let the air circulate through the house. Anyway, my office is up here,"

Voe turns to him "That doesn't make any sense Lucifer,"

"Yeah, my office is up here," he says in the exact same tone pointing to a room at the end of the hall. She follows him and continues when he closes the door.

"So you go in there a lot, huh?"

"Yeeeeeeaaaaaah my office is up here,"

"We're already here," she laughs

"Dammit! Right,"

"Come Lucifer, don't hide from me,"

"Sorry, I just- Yes I go in there a lot. Anyway," he buries himself into the cabinet "Let's find your file!"

Voe puts her hand on his shoulder, pulling him back up. "You know we can just talk."

"Right, I know. Sorry. Guess I'm just nervous,"

Voe sits down on his office chair and leans back "Ask me something,"

"Okay…what did you like to do when you were alive?"

"I loved to shop, to dance, and to weasel men out of their money,"

"Right! Said that in your file! Which I'm still looking for! Gosh!"

"What's it like having your reputation?"

"Umm, I guess it's pretty sad. Everyone thinks I'm this terrible guy. There are some sinners that think I influenced them to do things like kill or something. I never did any of that," he sighs

"So you're not that mean guy everyone depicts you as?" She asks, slightly disappointed

"I don't think I'm that mean," Voe sighs in disappointment "You alright?"

"Yep," she says in a monotone

"Found it! Vera Bates!" He hands her the file and she takes it from him, opening it.

"Wow, huh. I wonder when they decided I should go to Hell,"

"Oh, there was some incident in the 12th grade where you broke up with some boy and he decided to drive his car off a bridge.

She slams the file down "What? That was not my fault. I did not tell him to kill himself!"

"Mmm yeah, it wouldn't have been bad, but then you started joking about it,"

Voe rolls her eyes "Everyone was doing it,"

"You started it,"

"I did?"

He nods "Yeah, but what's done is done. So I'm gonna need that back," he reaches for it and Voe pulls it back

"Shit, they've got like everything in here. Like even embarrassing stuff,"

"Yeah, I'm gonna need the file back now,"

"So soon?
He stops and caves "I suppose you can look a little longer. There just might be stuff you don't like,"

Voe flips through the folder and reads about herself page after page. She came across a file of one time when she had a meltdown at her sister's 14th birthday party. She read all the names that her sister's friends called her. 'Schizo', "psycho', "R-slur". Voe realized that was the reason Brynn had asked her to stop picking her up from school. Another moment where Brynn lied about who she was to a boy she liked, saying she wasn't her sister but 'only a cousin'. And a time when her own mother hid the fact that she was autistic from her own family. "She's just a little rebel," she told them. Voe snaps the folder shut and looks back up at Lucifer. She shakes her head as if to free her mind of the thoughts.

"Sorry, got into a little trance there,"

He slowly takes the file "Maybe we should end our date a little early,"

She shakes her head again. "No, we don't have to,"

"You sure? You seem upset,"

She nods "I'm fine," she takes out her phone "Can we take a picture?"

Lucifer grins "Sure!" he leans in to take one with her and she puts her phone down on the desk.

"I was looking up Angel Dust's porns and I was like, people are actually buying this shit? It's terrible!" she tells the camera as she applies Velvette's newest makeup stick 'Naughty Grape," onto her lips. She blots her lips and continues "I mean, how is he more famous than me? I mean, he's my friend so 'hey Angel'!" and blows a kiss at the camera"

surprised y'all haven't fucked

?

angel likes dick thoo

so what

I heard tht italian men love blk womn

"But Angel's gay,"

he said he'd fuck women

for a price!

wait, Voe's Black?

"I ain't Angel to fuck him,"

Italians be down bad for them Blsck beauties

"Deadass?"

deader than me

WAIT, YOU'RE BLACK?

"Hey Angel," he turns to look at her as she approaches him "Is it true that Italian men love Black women?"

Angel grabs and dips her like ballroom dancing "Is it?" he raises a brow and winks letting her back up. Voe's eyes are wide and her jaw is slack, this was one of the first times that she was genuinely caught off guard by a man's behavior.

"Oh my,"

"Yeah," he grinned and shrugged, going back to his phone.

Alastor rolls his eyes from his chair, his cheek scar faded and no longer red. Voe walks up to his chair and stands in front of him. She sighs before starting.

"Sorry for hitting you while I was drunk," she says as if someone is making her

Alastor looks up from his novel "Aww," he babies her with his tome "That's perfectly okay. I knew you weren't serious about that,"

She smirks "I did get a lick in," and reaches for his cheek, but is swatted away

"I don't think you did," he answered "You are quite easy to upset. I found it funny!"

Voe's face returns to a neutral flat one "Do you accept my apology or what?'

"Hmmm, no,"

"No?"

"No," he grins wider

"Why not?"

"I don't know, something about not wanting to give you the satisfaction,"

"So this is a game to you?"

Alastor shrugs and places his novel down "You're playing one with me, and I intend to find out what it is,"

She chuckled dryly "Are you serious?"

He stands to his full height, leaving her at chest level with him. She turns her head up to look into his eyes "Oh I am Very serious,"

She sighs "Why do you think everyone is out to get you?"

"Oh don't start with that everyone business. It's just you, my dear. A pretty face doesn't just walk into the Hotel wanting to get better,"

Voe raises an eyebrow "So pretty people can't want to be a good person? Also, you think I'm pretty?" she puts her pointed nail in her mouth

"Oh yes, you're such a pretty little girl,"

Voe begins to look annoyed, but then relaxes "Alastor," she says his name smoothly "Don't be silly, you do not see me as a child. You see me as a woman. You know you do,"

Only his eyes turn down to see her "Hmmm, you're just so small and so annoying. Just like a child," his hands stay behind his back

"You're just as, maybe even more annoying,"

He fake gasps "Oh my!" and calms his body "Is that all you've got?"

She closes her eyes and breathes "I'm not trying to fight with you,"

He leaned down into her ear "Why don't you slap me like you did last night? I really got a…rise out of that,"

"Reall? how about next time I strangle you?"

"Oh even better!"

"I could punch you in the gut, or rip your skin with my teeth…."

"My my! Is that all my dear?"

She looks up at him "I could do so much more,"

"Alright you two, get a room!" Angel shouted from the kitchen

They both acknowledge him before Alastor says "Little girl, you have so much to learn,"

She yanks on his bowtie "Don't call me little girl!"

"Or what sweetheart?"

"I might have to show you what else I can do,"

"When you can think of something that isn't so childish," he removes her hand and fixes his tie "Call me!"

"So you're just going to sit there and mock me?"

He sits back down "Yes,"

"And who gave you that right?"

"I don't need anyone to give me anything. I earned it. Unlike you, who has had everything handed to you, haven't you,"

Voe sneers "You don't know anything about me,"

"I don't need to, because I don't care," he raises his novel back up to his eyes

"How rude,"

"Run along little girl, I'm busy,"

Voe calmly removes the novel from his hands and throws it to Lucifer knows where.

Alastor calmly folds his hands "Not used to being ignored,"

"That's not it at all. It's just common decency," she sits on the couch near him

"Why do you deserve anything from me?"

"Because I'm speaking to you like an adult,"

He raised an eyebrow "My dear, I don't care. You don't deserve my attention just because you're acting like an adult. That's what you're supposed to do." He manifests the book and continues reading

"So you're going to ignore me?"

He nods with his nose in the book "Mhmm,"

Voe's nose and ear twitch as she stands and exits the hotel immediately after, looking freshly determined

KNOCK KNOCK*

Lucifer opened the large golden door to see Voe, back the next day from their date.

"Hi!" He greeted her with a hug "What are you doing here? Did we plan something that I forgot? Because I can be ready in a jif-"

Voe laughs "No no," she waves her hands "I just came back because I think I left my phone here yesterday,"

"Oh! Of course, go ahead and check!"

"I think it's in your office,"

"Right, of course! I think I saw it in there!" he snaps "There, it's unlocked for you,"

"Thank you so much,"

She climbs the stairs while Lucifer returns to some paperwork in the living room. She entered the office quietly, leaving the door slightly open to make sure that she could hear him if he approached. She grabbed her phone from the desk and stuffed it in her bag.

She began rifling through the drawers in the file cabinet, instantly finding her file again. She shoves that in her bag as well, then begins to look for Alastor's. It should've been easy, considering that his name started with an A, but she then realized that Lucifer did not store the files in alphabetical order. Each letter was grouped together, but not in the order they should've been. She went through a long list of Albert and Alvin before she found three different Alastors. only telling them apart by their pictures. None of them looked like the Alastor she knew, but there was one who looked similar enough. That was when she remembered that these pictures were of each sinner's human form. He had light brown skin and dark brown hair. Large round glasses covered up to his eyebrows, but what really gave it away were his eyes and his smile. It was the same amount of smug and arrogant as the Alastor that she knew. She shoved that in her bag right next to her own file.

Of course, that's all she came here for, but she got a bit. Curious she started looking through the files more and found the section with V. Velvette and Valentino were very easy to find, but no files say Vox. She goes through every file, looking at pictures and demon names before she lands on one that says 'Vaughn', the first page listing his name as 'Vox'. She shoved the last three in her bag before Lucifer opened the door.

"You find it?"

She smiles "Yep, fell under the desk," she tells him, as he sees her out of the large golden doors.
