Rin pov

I am with Lucifer when the ship starts shaking. Lucifer wraps his arms around me in a protective embrace. "The ship is under attack," Homare says. Lucifer sighs. 

"I was hoping they wouldn't attack so soon but it's best to get this over with. Rin, wait here Renzo will be here soon to take you away from the battle and I will collect you once it's safe again."

"I can help you fight," I reply grabbing his wrist.

"Rin you were able to find a cure for me. It will be easier for us all if I handle this alone. No weapon of theirs can harm me now," Lucifer says with a smile as he leaves. I miss his warm embrace but I stay put. 

Once Lucifer runs off Shima enters. I like Shima. He is fun and he likes to joke around. He is an interesting person.

He stands next to me and together we walk to a common area. It's a large room with a few couches and quiet music. Right now it's empty because everyone is at their stations ready to fight, everyone except me of course. "How long do you think this battle will take?" I ask. 

"Normally I would say at least a few days. but with Lucifer's new ability to use his powers for a few hours," Shima replies. I go to the couch and I lounge taking as much space as possible. 

"Um-can I sit down?" Shima asks. 

"No."

Shima sits on my back and I push him off with little to no effort. "You know you are stronger than you look," Shima sighs. 

"And you are dumber than you look," I reply. 

"You know I didn't mean it like that," Shiam replies. 

"I know I was just pulling your leg. You are only half as dumb as you look."

"How rude, I thought the commander taught you better."

"He did. I respect those who deserve it... So what is Samuel like?" I ask. 

"Well, he is scary when he wants to be. He usually acts silly. Like a clown kinda and he is extremely deceptive. he has a way with words while Lucifer is straightforward and rarely shows much mention... until it comes to you. I have only seen him smile when he is around you. You make him happy and you keep him calm. He is always more merciful towards his followers when you are around. I think it is because you put him in a better mood so he is nicer and calmer when around you."

"I have been nicknamed Lucifer's mercy so that would explain it," I ponder, it would make sense that I soothe him. Many of these humans are stupid and annoying, it's nice to be around someone level-headed."

"That's kinda metaphorical almost because he doesn't have him on the battlefield with him," Shima replies.

The small house starts cracking and I ignite my flames Shima stands in front of me and he summons his familiar. The house is ripped into and Shima is quickly knocked out. I catch Shima before he hits the ground and I keep my flames invited. I growl at the threat and it appears behind me. I turn around to face it. 

"So this is the prince everyone doesn't seem like that big of a deal if you ask me," the threat says. I growl at him. "

Now now we don't need to upset him. Our brother wants him in one piece. Besides Lucifer would shred us if we hurt him," Another says. I look at each demon before switching to the next one. 

"Leave and there won't be any trouble," I say.

"Calm down prince we aren't here to hurt you," The first one says jumping down from the tree it was perched on and I growl at it. 

"I won't give you another warning," I yap. 

"Lucifer certainly did teach him manners," The second adds as they jump down from their perch as well. 

"Well, we better collect him before Mephisto gets irritated," The first says. I bear my teeth at them as they try to get closer. 

"Calm down young one. We simply want to take you to Mephisto," The first one coos, he steps closer I attack him with a few of my flames. He yelps and backs away. 

"We just want to take you to Samuel. Your second eldest brother. Surely Lucifer told you about your family," The second replies. I lower my field and I put my flames away.

"He did," I reply. The second smiles and he comes closer and he teleports the four of us to what appears to be a mansion. I look around as I hold Shima. 

"What was he thinking, a human could never protect the prince," A new demon sighs. I glare at him. 

"What is your purpose with me?" I ask. 

"Well to look after you until our brother is finished with his rampage," The demon replies. He steps closer and I take a step back. 

"They didn't tell you who they were, did they?" He asks. I shake my head. The demon sighs. 

"I apologize for the confusion. I am Mephisto, or as Lucifer calls me 'Samael' the demon king of space and time, ranked second amongst the demon kings. I am here to watch over you for the time being," Samuel says. 

"Who are they?" I ask. 

"Azazel and Amaimon. Demon kings of the spirits and earth," Mephisto replies. 

"Why were they so disrespectful?"

"They have a bad habit of not respecting power unless punished," Mephisto replies. I nod. 

"my deepest sympathies if they have caused you trouble already. They are usually on their best behavior but you interest them and they don't understand your importance," Mephisto replies.

"Don't patronize me." 

Mephisto shudders and then laughs. "Lucifer has done a good job teaching you where you stand in the hierarchy. And it seems has done a good job taking care of you," He coos getting closer to me. I growl at him. The second demon from before slips a hand under my chin and he holds on to me from behind. 

"You have grown into a beautiful creature," Azazel mutters. I let Shima fall to the ground and I use my flames to make sure his fall is cushioned. Then I step on Azazel's foot and I elbow him in the gut. Then he lets go of me and I push him over and I snarl at him and ignite my flames. 

"Touch me again and I will destroy you." 

"I see why our brother keeps you all to himself, so demonic and little spitfire," Mephisto hums. 

I whimper when he calls me demonic. It's what I am, but the tone, even the word itself reminds me of the cold floor, the week of hell I lived through. The facility flashes to my mind awakening the pain from my time. Reopening my wounds. I shudder in remembrance. Mephisto frowns. I wrap my arms around myself giving myself some comfort. 

I am freely wrapped in an embrace and I cuddle into it. It's not as protective as Lucifer's but it still makes me feel safe. "ten years and simple words can trigger painful memories. I can only hope Lucifer punished them all accordingly," Mephisto sighs. I put away my flames and I nuzzle into him. For some reason I don't push back, I don't feel the need. He feels comforting in a strange way.
