Four
With an eventful visit to a tanning salon, which is owned by a cartel leader Victor Perez, and an offical arrest thanks to Lucifers good old antics of creating a disruptive entrance, it had uncovered an interesting discovery.
A lucrative illegal drug exportation ring, hiding drugs in the walls of the business, it leaded out to be a temporary setback as he wasn't our guy.
What I hadn't expected to see is the exact same suspect we interviewed an hour before, screw-driver knocked out of his hand in response and Lucifer has him pinned on a car. Keeping him in place. " Ah! Ellie, darling. I knew I'd count on you finding and following me. We should've just drove here together in that case."
Escaping out of his hold, while Lucifer is distracted, luke stumbles his way in a sprint. I gained the upper hand not needing to use that much of my energy for speed and tackled him.
" Don't think you can run away this time."
He's face-first in the parking lot road, grunting out of disgruntlement, and fought my hold as I end up handcuffing him while he is still on the floor. " Well to me, Son, it looks like your little lady friend here can handle herself. Real well."
I overheard Charlotte Richards state, thinking I couldn't hear her call Lucifer 'Son'. All of it is starting to piece together for me.
' Wait. Wait.'
Flashbacks of this afternoon, when Lucifer was explaining who his mother happened to be and how it is she is here, re-entered my mind. ' Oh. My. Goodness. I have many questions. That'll have to wait until this little killer is gone.'
Then quick as it comes and goes, the sun sets behind the horizon. Dispatch sent out cars to the front of a convenient store Charlotte had shopped in for cheese.
' An odd detail to remember but not big as a whole goddess inhabiting a dead ladies body. Why do I feel... nervous?' Lucifer strolls, undeterred, from the ambulance.
" That is your mom. Isn't it? Does she know of.. my newest... well. Does she know I'm one of you? Do I go over there and say Hello to you goddess of creation, mother of my partner, it's just me. A human made Angel. It's all a simple walk in the park conversation starter."
I do not have a single clue why I was reacting, like this. Oh, wait, I know. Did I mention she's goddess to humanity.
Lucifer, in unease, laughed.
" No. I don't think that is a preferable answer, Ellie."
He answered, moving to face and blocks me from seeing Charlotte. My eyes filter through his afflicted ones, worried. " You see, darling. My.. well, my Mother, she has this certain conviction. When it comes to humans. And I'm not too certain your new status will be safe from her biased perspective."
If that is the truth, then considered me a little intimidated. I am in trouble. ' She can't be all that much of an evil presence. She's the creator of life and the earth. Surely there is goodness.'
I feel the familiar buzzing in my pocket, which belonged to my phone. 'It's Aidan. I'm suppose to meet him to have dinner.' Lucifer scoops up my phone, humming in perplexity.
" Ah. Aidan old chap. It's him, again. You know, in the time he's been in your life, we haven't properly had a chance to meet. He's an avoidant little boy."
I didn't have the courage to tell Lucifer who he was to Aidan, Ana and our future children. Not an ideal scenario for me to put myself in. It will eventually come out. ' When'll be the best time to expose our future kids are here for unknown purposes, even I don't know and unaware of.' I had seen how Aidan acted with Lucifer. He's a completely different boy to when he is around me. Lucifer had met Ana officially several days after I awoke, from my transformation, at Lux.
Anastasia had stuck to him like a magnet. She had started to call him 'Daddy', clinging to his leg asking to be picked up. My observation, of her, made me believe and wonder if in our set future she is her father's little girl.
Aidan is a Mommy's boy.
' Well it's confirmed, already, with How he acts when I am around. It's sweet. I feel honoured he thinks high enough, of me. To have being given such a title by him.'
" he's just a shy boy, Lucifer. He.. he doesn't do well meeting new people. Especially a man, who might I add can come across arrogant and crude, like yourself."
I essentially pointed out, Making a remark of premises to get him to see what I'm saying, snatching back my mobile.
" I have to go. I'm meeting him for dinner."
I told Lucifer.
" I'll see you tomorrow at the station."
I made the mistake of looking at Charlotte and seen she is completely, full-blown, staring into my soul. I couldn't read the expression etched onto her face.
Though I did take in regard of a microscopic flicker of peculiarity.
I walked off, back to my station-given car, feeling Charlotte watching each of my moves I've taken.
' If this was an every day ordinary working class woman, staring at me, I would feel fine. But she is the literal goddess of all of earth and life's creation.'

Amenadiel's P.O.V
Learning how to be intuitive, and in-tune, with humanities emotions is greatly exhausting. I've learnt to completely ignore those emotions, in my time as a solider for father keeping heaven balanced and peaceful, that it's created a cross road. With Elisabetta.
The one human i have to protect, my sole purpose for living, hates me.
I felt a deep sense of self-loathing.
Hearing her sorrowful shouts, using feeble acts of strength, all in the name of betrayal. Hurt. All because of me. That brought on a hurricane of sadness in my heart.
I know Linda feels hurt, by my lie.
I just need to talk to her, however, about Ellie.
I laid my eyes upon Doctor Martin typing away on her laptop. The key on the computers board each had different frequencies. " I hate to, uh, to interrupt so late. But, uh.. I wanted to come and apologise. You were right, Linda." I admit.
" You see, I really do have a lot to atone for."
I said, bringing a pause to my walking, and Linda hummed indicating I could continue.
" I have... I have made many mistakes lately. Hurting you and forging a friendship, based under the false pretences, wanting to get information out of you. It is unforgivable. But, I did consider you a friend. I am deeply sorry I did that." I told Linda, truthful and honest.
" I have to confess. I did something I cannot undo too. And I know you won't believe me, cause I myself don't know how I could do this as well."
Linda inhaled an acute amount of air before I hear her speak. " if anyone can understands a mistake, it's therapists. Not that you'd know." She replied and I could sense her teasing with the smile I received.
" Apology accepted. Now, I have a space left in the day before I finish, if you want to talk. I want to hear what has you troubled. Sit, please."
I shifted my mind to the conversation Elisabetta and I, before I confess, had. About my fading angelic powers. I sat my self on the sofa to Linda's office.
" You said you did an action that cannot be undone. Tell me."
I bowed my head, shameful of my treasonous betrayal.
" I'm the reason betty was kidnapped. By her birth father."
Linda sharply breathed in.
" I've done irreversible damage to her. I knew.. how much of a horrific and dangerous person Malcolm was. I still decided, out of an act of a righteous anger I had for my brother before, to bring him back from hell."
A tear of loathing is rolling down my cheek.
" the irony in it all? I did it because of stupidity and jealousy. I was jealous of how father lead Elisabetta to Lucifer. I don't know where it all of a sudden happened but it did. I am an Angel and solider for god, who doesn't get jealous." I confessed.
" It's nothing romantic."
I redacted the thought which could have possibly crossed doctors Martin's mind.
" I've known Elisabetta literally her whole life. Seen her grow. Life has thrown her obstacles and she's a fighter who is more capable of fighting back than she knows."
Linda nodded, finally speaking up.
" it sounds, to me, like you are experiencing a morality and human emotion we call penitence. Or guilt. I'll admittedly say I did have the first impression, hearing you admit to being jealous, you had an attraction to Ellie and saw her in a very.. let's say different light." She stated, honestly. " But amenadiel. If what you are saying, you know of how you put it resurrected Ellie's father, is the truth."
She set down her ball-point writing pen sighing.
" that was incredibly selfish." She said.
" endangering Ellie like that putting her in the line of danger. As her friend, and this is me in a non-professional point of view, when I saw her for the first time after she was rescued. The sight of her traumatised, beaten, broken. I felt physical sickness to my stomach."
Her eyes are watering, stung with forming tears of distress I am taken back from seeing.
" I saw the lost girl I first met eleven years ago. After both of her parents had died." She levels her breathing. " So. If you want to make things right, with Elisabetta, I suggest letting her be alone and allow her to have space. Earn back, her forgiveness, the lost trust. Amenadiel." She punctuated her words to make her point cross.
" Or otherwise you are going to push her away even farther than you already have."
' Forgive me, father. for I have instilled distrust and hatred in the one I am suppose to protect.'

Ellie's P.O.V
Dinner went splendidly well, with no problems and interruptions. Aidans choice of ordering a pizza, watching Disneys live action movie of an old classic beauty and the beast and a 'concert' done by Ana singing along to the music parts, I wouldn't have asked for a better night in.
You had thought I'd listen to Lucifers warning NOT to go near his mother, I just couldn't do it though.
I wanted to introduce myself and give a proper introduction. Waiting in the elevator, for Lucifers penthouse floor to arrive, I tapped my converse covered foot on the wooden floor.
It dings open and I timidly sauntered in.
" Hi."
I say, waving at a wide eyed Lucifer, reticent as Charlotte steel blue gaze intentionally grows to an extensive smile.
" Lucifer mentioned you. I take you are the, impeccably beautiful might I mention, girl he wouldn't stop talking about."
Goddess compliments. " And an Angel." I tense when I heard her statement.
" Don't fear me, sweet girl. I am just curious. Lucifer, how is it she's an Angel when I can smell the potency of her old human blood? Mind explaining how." I rubbed my hand, in an anxious attempt to slow my racing thoughts, up my arm. Sitting across from her.
" I'm never shocked by the simplicity of things in life such as I am now. Explain it."
Lucifer got over his aversion of shock.
" Well. I would lie, but the devil never lies. Straight to it I suppose."
Thunder and lightning cracks out in the sky; a reflection of the current mood in a reminiscent of tension. Intense Gloom.
" Ellie was revived, thanks to a miracle done by one of amenadiel's feathers. Somehow it activated her transition from living a life of a mortal to being introduced to the world of divination."
Lucifer didn't leave out a single word of truth.
I was met with an astonished, loss for words, stare. My smile didn't reach my eyes watching Charlotte, well goddess, stand. She started to walk around the coffee table.
" Fascinating. In the eons, I've been sentient for and lived, I've not once met a human transform into an Angel of all creatures. You are a miracle, Ellie." I feel myself become overwhelmed by her presence, her touch of my cheek feeling strangely warm.
" You will make a fine member of our family, wouldn't she, son. When we make our return to home, in heaven, I say bring her with us. It's where she'll rightfully belong. Not amongst the humans." Goddess declared.
" Oh, you will love it, Ellie. The silver city is magnificent."
' Heaven? Silvery city? Me? '
she is unconcernedly mentioning me going to heaven as though I've agreed to it. Lucifer was first to disagree. " No, mother. There will most certainly no way we are going back there. And, if we were to, I wouldn't whisk Ellie away from earth. This is her life and you don't get to make that decision for her." He snapped defensively and shot straight up.
" You are overstepping a boundary you shouldn't have. Mother. Stop it."
Lucifer, moving forward with a quick and easy swift swipe of his hand when grabbing mine, he got in front of me taking stance. He blocked her view. " You need to leave, Ellie." He drops the harsh marooned tone for a softer voice. He pleaded using his eyes. " Go."
I didn't at first, I stayed put for a few seconds, until I saw he had started to give the tiniest of pushes towards the elevator.
" I'll meet you at the station, darling."
' He really must not want me to be near her. I'll listen to his wishes.' I thought, backing up into the shaft of the penthouses elevator.
My hand, I must've in my self-conscious mind reached to hold his, let's go of him and I started staring at Lucifer before the metal revolving doors close.
I feel my head had begun to spin, feeling which I could describe as the moment and sensation one feels when they are going to faint. It comes and goes after I'm away from Lucifer for more than a minute.
' It's so strange.'
Stepping out in the empty room of Lux, I see Mazikeen tending to a table. " Maze. Hey."
This was a first in over a year I had seen her.
" You're back."
She goes rigid, peaking her darker than brimstone eyes to me. She had an entire new look. Her hair is more natural, alive with colour. Silkier.
" It's good to see you. You have been missed, by me. I was wondering if I would ever get to see you again."
She fainted a smile then it fell.
Her eyes moved to the club's tiled surface.
" Look. I don't what I did, if I did something that hurt or offended you. I'm sorry if that is the case. You just sorta upped and left here. I haven't stopped thinking it was me that made you leave." I admitted, wringing my hands and getting close to the bar she had to moved to.
" I just want you to tell me."
Her face significantly turned softer from her usual scowl. " It wasn't your fault, Ell. I was.. I was dealing with a personally conflict I had but I am completely normal now. I'm back." It's as my admission of missing her had inculcated a surprised confusion within.
My hand found hers. " You're lying." I say.
" I.. I want to know the truth. The real reason."
The silence is rather shattering.
You could hear the noises of outside life and buzzes of electricity. I felt her breathing get louder. Her movement is precise, attaching her lips on mine. There's an expression of surprise that spreads on my face.
I pulled away, shocked. ' She kissed me.' She's pained and crestfallen.
" I left because I am in love with you. I had to leave 'cause I know you aren't the one to call mine. I came back here, for you, Ellie. I couldn't stay away long enough for that reason." She chuckled, dryly. " Fucking hell." She shook her head. " I'm a stupid bitch."
" You're not stupid, Maze." I frowned.
" I might not feel for you that way. You are, well you are the only one, my best friend. I consider you my dearest of friend. I love you for you."
I stated. I made a move to stand, moving round to maze, embracing her in a comforting hug.
She is two inches taller than myself. Staying unnaturally still, unsure of how to react and handle being a part of human contact like a normal hug, maze slowly returns it.
" Just don't ever leave again."
" I'll make that a promise, a reality, For you. I have too much unfinished business here, any-way." I chuckled. 'Of course. Torturing.' I think laughing.
" Stay a little longer. I'll go out back, make something up and give you a good feed. My way of ... apologising. For disappearing."
" Only if you join me. I know demons don't eat human food, but what is the harm of having a meal and exchanging embarrassing stories." I retorted. " I did have a few slices of pizza. But I still am hungry." She smirked, jingling a glass of Chardonnay. Clear white wine. " Maze, no."
" Maze yes. Come on, El's. You are an Angel. It isn't breaking your old human-self rules, or law. You're above that now. Embrace the fact. I am right and you know it."
She stated, pouring a glass of the translucent liquid. " Go on."
' She is going to get me in trouble one of these days.'
JASMINE SPEAKS;
Maze and Ellie finally spoke things out. How do you guys feel knowing she left, is because of how she felt for Betty?
It hurt me to write betty letting her know she didn't feel that way but I'd rather that than to be miscommunicated later.
And goddess/Charlotte talking about taking El to heaven? How did you feel seeing Lucifer had reacted? I think it was valid.
Amenadiel's point of view, I decided on doing, came to mind when I was watching the last few minutes of season two episode two.
Change of pace for my story.
