Chapter 4: Lucifer Morningstar

Los Angeles, different Earth

Driving along the roads of Los Angeles at the speed past the road's legal speed limits, a man leans back his head casually without a care in the world.

He is Lucifer Morningstar, more famously known as The Devil.

However, before he could react, a sudden flash of light exploded right in the middle of the road, causing all surrounding cars to skid and crash into each other.

Lucifer looks up from his car, angrily shouting out at the light," Aw come on! I have a job to get to for Christ sake! Oh...why did I say that?"

Lucifer slams his door close, stepping towards the crater on the floor. As he stares down into the hole, what he saw causes his eye to widen in intrigue," Well well, what do we have here?"

Lucifer's mouth twists into a smile, staring down at five unconscious bodies lying within the crater.

Right at that moment, Supergirl's eyes snaps open and she pushes herself up, looking around frantically.

Leina, Green Lantern, Lobo and Power Girl are lying next to her but the other members of the Justice League are nowhere to be seen.

" Where...where am I?" Supergirl questions.

" Hello," Supergirl looks up, her eyes widens in shock at the sight of a tall bearded man staring down at her.

The man is devilishly handsome cladded in a cleanly tainted suit, Supergirl has no idea why but just staring at the man's face is somehow making her heart race, a sexual thrill flowing down her spine. There's something about the man that is somehow making her lusting for him.

Lucifer looks down at Supergirl, Power Girl and Leina and he chuckles out in malicious glee," Ho ho! Well well well! What do we have here? Three in one package, this should be interesting."" I'm sorry, who are you?" Supergirl questions the Devil just as he answers out," Lucifer Morningstar at your service."

" Wait?! Lucifer Morningstar as in the Devil?" Green Lantern exclaims out in shock just as he pushes himself up.

Supergirl stares up at Lucifer, speaking out," Okay. Can you please tell us who you really are Mister?"

" How about you do something even better? Now tell me..." Supergirl felt a strange hypnotizing wave flowing through the course of her body just as Lucifer concludes his sentence," What is it you truly desire?"

Right before Supergirl could answer, just then, a loud voice broke her out of her train of thought," Lucifer!"

Upon hearing the voice, a wide grin spreads across Lucifer's face as he calls out," Ah! Detective! Nice for you to join us!"

A tall beautiful woman cladded in a grey jacket steps towards Supergirl, holding up her badge," Detective Decker, LAPD. I need you five to come with us."

" Yeah, no way we're goin' wit you hosay!" Lobo folds his arms, only for Lucifer to ask," Do you have anywhere better to go mister?"

" Yeah! To get my...my..." Lobo's voice fell short upon realization that his Speeder is missing.

Lucifer grins cheekily just as Lobo's face drops, concluding his sentence with a hint of annoyance," ...speeder."

Chloe looks around and she sarcastically said to him," Right. But considering how your so called "speeder" is missing, I'm afraid you are not going anywhere."

Los Angeles Police Department

Dan Ezpinoza and Ella stood back, watching just as Chloe and Lucifer brought in five people cladded in strange outfits.

" Whoa! Is there a costume party here?" Ella exclaims out, staring at Supergirl's bright blue and red costume.

" Some costume party." Dan sarcastically remarks, staring at both Power Girl and Leina.

Power Girl rolls her eyes, spitting out at Dan," Sure. Take a good look mister. But you won't be seein' nuthin' once I break those balls of yours."

" Oh ho! Fiesty one aren't you?" Lucifer chuckles out," Forgive him but they don't call him Detective Douche for nothing."

Green Lantern smirks at Dan, calling him out," Sup Detective Douche!"

Dan rolls his eyes, rubbing his face in annoyance just as he steps away.

Chloe then opens the door to an interrogation room, explaining to the five," Alright, I need all of you in there one by one. You all have some explaining to do." Chloe then invites Supergirl into the room, causing the Girl of Steel to step inside.

Just as the door closes, Lucifer widens his eyes in intrigue just as Ella grabs onto Leina, pulling her close to her.

" Oh my God! You've got guts to put on that costume lady, I love it! Now come, come." Ella pulls out her phone, holding it up just as she tugs Leina close to her, snapping a picture with the girl.

After a quick shot, Leina gently pushes Ella back, asking," What was that you just do?"" That's a selfie. You mean you don't know what a selfie is?" Ella questions.

" Uh no." Leina answers, causing Ella's eyes to widen.

Realizing the situation, Green Lantern explains to Ella," You see here miss, my friend Leina here came from a world different from ours. In fact, there's no such thing as a phone from where she came from."

Ella then points at Lobo, asking," Where does your friend here come from?"" Oh, he's a Cyzarnian that came to my base after Superman disappeared."

Upon hearing the name, Ella froze," Hold on. Did you say...Superman?"

" Yeah. He did, why?" Power Girl questions as she flies up, causing Ella to fall back in shock.

Ella then chokes out in confusion," You just...flew...Superman...Supergirl costume....Green Lantern...it's all...real..."

Lucifer then asks Power Girl," Wait, so this Superman is real?"" Yeah, I just said it."" Wonderful!" Lucifer chuckles out," All this time I thought he was a myth but it's all true. There's someone just as powerful as me."

Just then, the door opens and Chloe steps out, speaking out," Lucifer, may I have a word with you please?"

Lucifer obediently steps into the interrogation room just as Supergirls steps out, joining the rest of her friends.

Chloe shuts the door and she spoke out," Okay, things are just really weird. That girl not only claims she's Supergirl from that TV series but she apparently has superpowers as well."

" Really, you don't say."

" She showed me her Heat Vision by burning a used napkin and she broke out of a pair of handcuffs." Chloe explains as she held up a shattered handcuff.

But to her surprise, Lucifer said to her," You know what's funny detective? I just spoke to Power Girl, Lobo, Green Lantern and some girl I don't know just now."

" Are they really from the DC Universe Lucifer?"" Well, they're certainly not the Avengers from that movie you brought your daughter to." Lucifer scoffs out.

Chloe then shook her head," But that's impossible. How do a bunch of characters from a comic book enter the real world anyway?"

" Well, that just remains to be seen." Lucifer agrees just as the door slides open, revealing the large muscular square face of Marcus Pierce, telling the two," Heads up, there's a situation going on in main street."

" We'll get right on it." Chloe nods just as she and Lucifer steps out of the room.

Lena's office, DC Universe

Lena sat back, tied up in a chair just as she stares down at the city of Metropolis, watching as dozens of Yellow Lanterns and drones are busy reconstructing the city, filling the buildings with metal casing.

Cyborg Superman nods approvingly, saying to Sinestro," Good. All is going according to plan."

" There's one thing I don't get Henshaw," Sinestro interjects," Is it a good idea to send Reverse Flash and those people across the time stream?"

" My dear Sinestro, has being a Yellow Lantern not taught you anything?" Cyborg Superman questions," By sending Thawne and his lackies across time, they can wreck havoc in the time stream and at the same time, they can take out our potential Justice League problems as well."

Sinestro nods in understanding," I see your point but all I know is that the Justice League are not to be trifled with. What will you do in case those five fails in their task?"

" Which is why we have a fail safe." Cyborg Superman directs his attention to Lena and he questions," How long more till Engine city is complete?"

Lena rolls her eyes and she sarcastically answers," Considering how you are working those poor people off without rest, will probably take about two weeks."

" Perfect." Cyborg Superman sneers," For your sake Ms. Luthor, you have better not be conspiring against me otherwise I will make sure you will not see the end of next week."

Both Cyborg Superman and Sinestro steps out of the office, leaving Lena staring longingly out of the window.

                ~~~~~~~~~~

" You guys, you will not believe what I just found." Everyone looks just as Ella held up a bunch of feathers, exclaiming out," Really really large bird feathers! It's like those victims were mauled by really large birds."

" You don't say." Green Lantern remarks, staring at the large deep claw marks on the corpses.

Supergirl then notices a large feather on the floor and she bends down, picking it up.

As the Girl of Steel studies the feather, her eyes immediately widens in both shock abd recognition," Hold on a second, I recognized that feather."

" What is it?" Chloe asks.

Supergirl holds up the feather and she explains," That feather does not belong to some bird, it has traits from a Thanagarian. Bird people back from where I come from."

" But how can this be? Thanagarians don't have claws." Green Lantern pointed out.

Lobo then bends down, picking the multilated corpse by the hand and he said," Well, I ain't like wherever this is going."

Chloe then turns to Lucifer and she passes the feather to him," Lucifer, can you ask Mazikeen to find the source of this?"

" Sure thing Detective." Lucifer nods.

Warehouse

Vandal Savage lifts his head from his table, watching just as a large muscular figure steps into the room.

" Is it ready?" The figure asks.

" Ah yes, just wait a few more minutes...Marcus." Vandal smirks at him.

Marcus stood back, staring at the figures lodged within an array of pods and he questions out," What are those things?"

Vandel looks back at the pods, answering," Oh. A little side project. Nothing much."

Marcus leans his back onto a wall, inquiring to Vandal," So will the serum take my immortality away?" Vandal rests his hands onto his shoulders, assuring him," Of course my dear Cain, you can leave it all to me."

However, right at that moment, the wall exploded in a bang, sending rubble flying everywhere.

" Shit!" Marcus curses out just as he jumps into an opening, disappearing into the shadows just as Vandal looks back.

Right at that moment, Chloe steps into the room, gun pointing outwards and she shouts," LAPD! Don't move!"

At the same time, Supergirl, Power Girl, Green Lantern, Leina, Lucifer, Mazikeen and Lobo steps into the room, facing Vandal.

Vandal growls in fury," You!"" Well well, if it isn't Vandal Savage?" Green Lantern remarks.

" How do you find me?!" Vandal questions, only for Mazikeen to pipe in," You've got me to thank."

" Not only that but those feathers your bird friends been dropping gave us the perfect lead to you." Supergirl explains.

" And knowing your relationship with Carter and Kendra, we all knew that anything to do with Thanagarians, you are our most possible lead." Power Girl concludes.

" Heh!" Vandal chuckles out, pulling out a small dagger as he concludes his sentence," Not bad. But if you want to get anything out of me, I'm afraid you'll have to kill me!"

Vandal lunges forward, thrusting his knife forward.

The blade immediately shattered upon contact with Supergirl's skin, causing Vandal to drop his blade in horror.

At that moment, Lucifer suddenly grabs onto Vandal, thrusting his arm outwards.

" YAAHHHH!!!" Just as Vandal screams out in pain, Lucifer thrusts his elbow outwards, striking the Immortal several times in the jaw.

Lucifer then throws Vandal onto the floor, slamming him on his back.

However, Vandal thrusts his leg out, striking onto Lucifer.

Vandal pushes himself up, throwing several punches onto Lucifer as he shouted," You have no idea who you're dealing with!"

" Oh I know what I'm dealing with. A pitiful delusional man who thinks he can go around my neighbourhood unleashing his flock of birds everywhere!" Lucifer shouts.

Lobo smirks as he leans in close to Power Girl, remarking out," Aye, tis wee lad sure got this good."

Mazikeen spins her Angel Blade around, questioning her boss," Shall I finish this?"

" Be my guest."

Lucifer forcefully shoves Vandal towards the demon, allowing her to swipe her Angel Blade across his cheek.

" GAH!!!" As Vandal screams out in pain, Mazikeen swings her hand down, striking him across the cheek before thrusting her leg out, sending him sprawling on the ground.

Mazikeen tugs Vandal by the collar, pulling him up before shoving the Angel Blade right into his torso.

" ARGHHHHH!!!"

A loud scream echoes from Vandal's vocal cords just as Mazikeen tosses Vandal towards Chloe," He's all yours Chloe."" Thanks Mazikeen."

Chloe then clips a pair of handcuffs over Vandal's hands just as Supergirl throws a single punch.

The sheer impact of the blow sends the glass panel crumbling down, spilling liquid everywhere.

What the group saw causes their eyes to widen.

" Kendra? Carter? Nowa? Booster? Fate?" Supergirl questions out.

Hawkgirl pushes herself up weakly, shaking her head just as she questions," What happened? Where are we?"

Power Girl holds up Vandal, explaining to the group," You guys were held prisoner by Savage here until Lucifer here broke you out."

Lucifer smiles at them, nodding in acknowledgement," No need to thank me."

Doctor Fate puts out his hand, a wave of magic forming around his hand just as he explains," This realm is completely different from where we come from but the amount of holy magic here has never been stronger."

" Well if you live in the very Universe where my dad runs things, this would happen." Lucifer chides.

Nowa then dashes up to Leina, embracing her tightly," Leina!"" Nowa!" Just as Leina hugs her, Nowa exclaims out," I was so frightened. Thank goodness you're here!"

" I'm so glad you're okay." Leina said.

Green Lantern then questions," So wait. If you guys are here, where's Melpha? Bruce? Z and the others?"

Doctor Fate answers," According to the energy signatures I could gather in the Multiverse, the entire League has been dispersed across time, trapping everyone in different timelines to ensure we can never interfere with whatever is happening in our world."

Leina then said," Then I suggest we find them. Can you bring us across the time barrier?"

Doctor Fate shakes his head," Sadly I am needed elsewhere. But once I send those few home, I'm going to bring back a very valuable asset to aid you in your quest."

" Then make it snappy. I don't wanna stay here forever." Lobo urges.

Leina rests a hand on Nowa's shoulder, giving her a reassuring smile," Take good care of yourself. I promise I'll bring your Captain back."

" Be careful Leina." Nowa wishes her friend good luck before disapearing completely, leaving the group standing in silence.

Just as Chloe pulls Vandal up, she compliments the group," Good job you guys."

" No problem. But the real question is what are you gonna do with him?" Power Girl questions.

Before Chloe could reply, Lucifer immediately interjects," No worries fellas, this man over here will have a nice chat with me."

Vandal felt a huge shiver running down his spine just as Lucifer's irises glows deathly red, causing him to scream out in terror," AAAAAHHHHHH!!! No! Please! No!"

Leina leane in next to Mazikeen and she asks," What did he do to him?"" Oh. A type of thing Lucy is good at." The Demon lightly chuckles.

" Alright then," Lucifer then faces Supergirl and he smiles," I guess this is goodbye then."

" Thank you so much for helping us Lucifer." Supergirl said to him, only for Chloe to interject," No. Thank you for helping us solve a crime."

Lucifer then remarks," Well well, looking good while saving the day, maybe I should join this Superhero thing don't you think Detective?"

" Don't even think about it!"

" Right." Lucifer shrugs just as Vandal rears his head up, speaking out," You're making a really big mistake."

" Sorry pal, the only mistake we see here is your sorry ass challengin' us!" Lobo growls.

" No!" Vandal shakes his head," Don't you see? You are better off staying here."

Inquisitive over the immortal's words, Supergirl inquires," What do you mean?"

Vandal explains," Superman is building a doomsday device back in our world, reprogramming the entire city of Metropolis into his metallic domain. If any of you are to return, Superman and his measly Yellow Lanterns are going to travel across the time stream to kill every last being in the Multiverse."

" Then stop him we will!" Power Girl said with a hint of determination.

Lucifer's irises glows in a demonic shade of red and he vows," And if he does, let him come. I will gladly settle scores with this "Superman" of yours."

Right at that moment, the group heard a loud sound from behind, causing them all to turn.

" No way."

A massive cruiser lowers itself onto the floor, it's cockpit sliding open just as a tall figure in a trench coat steps out to greet them.

" Ah. You must be this Supergirl Kent told me about." The man said.

Supergirl asks him," I'm sorry but who are you?"

" My name is Rip Hunter. I'm a Time Lord, at your service."
