CODE 46 Peace

Evelyn was making his way towards the Manhatten bridge, which was slowly getting difficult given to all the air resistance he was facing. He was skating in opposite direction of the storm that Lucifer had created.

"You think I'd be intimidated?" Gotham raised her hands and all the water tanks throughout the city burst open, flooding their way towards the bridge.

"You're destroying the city!" Axel shouted and Delete attacked from from behind but Asselyum struck her with her elbow.
"Nice one, Jimmy." Axel said.
"Got her!" Jimmy smiled as he turned back and Asselyum raised Delete up in the air. Riley stood beside Axel, enjoying the fight.

"What do you say now?" Gotham smiled and Lucifer smiled back, "You are fucking stupid. Who do you think has the upper hand right now?" He snapped and all the water fell back under the bridge with a huge impact.

The force of the water was strong and left her injured.
"Give up and I shall show you some mercy by killing you at once. We don't have to make it painful."
"Damn it!"

Then, she remembered their first fight at the dead sea. She was losing just like this but then she realised that he wasn't even touching the water--He was fighting in the air just like right now.

"Asselyum!" Evelyn shouted as he reached the bridge. Asselyum looked down from the bridge, "Evelyn?"

"Lucifer has a weakness."

"Asselyum! Where's dad?"
"Why are you here! Go away!" She shouted and dodged Delete's attack.

"He can't breathe underwater."

Gotham turned towards Evelyn with an ear to ear grin on her face.

"So, you just grab him,"

The water rose as a huge wave and Evelyn began to run away from it.

"And drown him like a fowl."

It fell on him and nothing but water was seen. After a while, when it went back into the river, it took Evelyn with him.

"Evelyn!" Asselyum was still busy fighting Delete so Lucifer dived into the water.
"We need to help him! Lucifer can't breathe underwater!" Asselyum said.
"What? No, Lucifer! It's a trap!" Axel shouted.

But it was too late. Lucifer was already into the water. Gotham threw Evelyn aside and swam towards Lucifer. She wrapped his arms around his neck from behind.

"You're never leaving the waters again. I won't let you."
'That was a dirty move'
He struggled but her hold only got stronger and tougher to break.

"We are all fishes-- Delete, Allianz, Emmett and I. But not you, Lucifer, you are a fowl and I hate those who can fly."

Lucifer struggled and stretched his arms upwards, trying to grab the surface of water. It had started to affect his lungs as he felt the growing pain in his chest.
He didn't care about the fight anymore, he just wanted to run away. He could see death come his way and he was all alone, in the dark. She dug her claws into his flesh which tore as he pulled away from her and swam upwards.

Norman was left fighting with Allianz while MiK ran towards the water and sat at the bank. She could see a red colour develop into the water.

"Lucifer!" She shouted. He popped up and stretched his blood covered arms towards her, "Save me! Please save me-- I don't want to die!" He shrieked. He seemed terrified. Mik grabbed his arms but she couldn't pull him up, Gotham was still holding his legs and pulling him down.

His hands were slippery from his blood and MiK noticied that he was slipping away from her grip.
"Argh- Lucifer!"
She lost her grip and he went down.

"Have you ever seen a bird fall into the water and get stuck among the kelps?" Gotham whispered into his eyes as she dug her fingers into his throat.
"Let me go!" He shrieked.

"That's exactly what it says-- But not even his own friends can help him. Because everyone fears the ocean. It can kill anything-- Big or small."

"I'm going to help Lucifer!" Asselyum said as she got away from Delete.
"Help yourself first!" Delete shouted as she attacked him.

"Imagine all the pain," Gotham scratched her claws down to his chest, tearing up his stomach, he couldn't shout anymore, the voice didn't come out "When you fly so high, did you ever think how vile your death will be? And you won't be cremated in the coulds, but in the dirt, where no one would remember you. Who are you, Lucifer? You are nothing! Did you hear me?! Nothing!"

After that, Lucifer stopped. The water turned peaceful, with blood covering both of them. She left him slowly and he went down, into the dark, as light as feathers and as peaceful as a grave.

Because death is peace.
It takes chaos to survive.
   

Slaine removed his hoodie and went under the blanket of his bed. He was wearing a black, skintight sweatshirt underneath. He called Dexter from beneath the blanket, "Hey Dexter."
"Yeah, Slaine?"
"I'm not feeling very good so I'll sleep for today."
"You won't have dinner?"
"No..."

'After what happened, I'm not very sure if I should eat the food here.'

"Alright then. Sweet dreams." Slaine hung up. By then, he had wrapped a pillow inside his hoodie and lay it under the blanket. He could see the camera in his room. They were checking on him every single moment.

That hoodie doll would keep them distracted while he was gone. He crawled on the floor in the dark and slowly opened the door. He reached the lift and looked at the map beside it. The cells were two floor beneath. He decided to take the stairs to avoid being caught.

He reached the cells and saw Dexter stand before a cell in the hallways. He hid behind the walls and waited for him to leave.

"If only you agreed, you won't have to die like this." He said.
"I'd rather die than live on my knees."
"This is the charisma no other man has... Goodnight Ben."

'Ben...'

After Dexter left, Slaine walked out and slowly moved towards the cell where Dexter stood.

His heartbeat was so fast that he could hear it inside it head. His temples were throbbing and his throat went dry. He looked  into the dark cell through the glass like bars. The shadow of a broad back struck his eyes.

He breathed, "Ben,"
Ben turned back and slowly walked towards Slaine, reaching the light. His radiant pink eyes looked at Slaine, through his messy, brunette bangs.

Ben stood right before him. He was skinny and as pale as a ghost. He pressed his hands on the bars. His knuckles were shining white, with veins cruising beneath his skin.

This was the man that Slaine was searching for. He looked like a spring chicken! But Slaine was here to confront him and put in his two cents.

"I know you aren't me and you cannot convince me otherwise." Slaine said "Just tell me why are you pretending to be me to such an extent that you even copied my handwriting. Why are you lying to everyone? Who are you?!"

Ben took a step closer to the bars, "That's right, I lied." He had a fruity voice; guttural and low, "Just so you know...I don't regret anything."

"You ruined everything and you have the nerve to say that?"
"I did what I had to."
"What did you have to do?! Kill people-- Cause that's all you did because you are someone who is ready to abandon people just so that you can reach your goals."

"Sometimes you have to abandon the people you love."
"Oh no, you don't abandon the people you love, you abandon the people you use."

Ben smiled, "Is this how little you think of me, dad?"

Just this little sentence and all of Slaine's anger vanished within a second. He couldn't believe what he heard.
"Evelyn?"
Ben smiled, "Evelyn Benjamin-- But people know me better as Ben."

It seemed as if the world had stopped.
"Why...Why did you... do all this, Evelyn?" Slaine asked.
"Why? Because I promised myself that I will deny you death until you beg me for it."

Slaine stared at him for a while, "I have no idea as what that means."
"You'll know it soon." Ben smiled.

Slaine threw a packet of diet pills towards Ben, "This should keep you alive. Do you want me to sneak in some food for you?"
"It's okay. I can survive without eating for upto one year."

"Just what are you?" Slaine looked into his eyes, which upon a closer look, seemed as if they were spinning slowly on an axis--Like a disc on an old music player. This freaked him out a bit.

"I can't tell that yet." Ben smiled.
"Then, I'll find it by myself." Slaine walked out of the cells.
"Break a leg. I just hope that the truth doesn't devastate you."
