A Devil’s Love: Chapter 4

AN: As I'm sure you've all already heard, Netflix renewed Lucifer for S5, but as a finale. I do believe in Ildy & Joe to make it the best, but I AM still fighting, and will continue to fight until S5's release. I am tweeting at Netflix at least once a day, explaining why I believe Lucifer should end in S6, and not S5. I think we Lucifans CAN win just one more season, but we have to fight again! And, of course, if we don't win we should all be grateful that Netflix picked it up and allowed the show to end properly.

Chapter 4: I Shall Be Your Nurse

The Goddess of all creation stood in the shadows of her son's nightclub parking garage.

She had been waiting for hours, but it would have been hours well spent.

How can she compare waiting a few measly human hours to having her Lightbringer back home. Up in the Heavens where he belonged.

For her to have her family back.

The Goddess watched as Lucifer pulled into his parking space. To her disappointment, he lead her target up the elevator with him. That's fine. What's a couple more minutes?

But those minutes turned into a few more hours before her prey exited the elevator. Alone.

It's impossible to explain the excitement flowing through the Goddess.

She opened the cap to the trigger, and-

"Mother!"

The Goddess whirled on her heels to come face to face with her son, Amenadiel.

"What are you doing, Mother?"

"I'm about to eliminate the problem that is keeping Lucifer away from home!"

"What problem?" The Goddess motioned her son's attention to her prey, who now talked on her phone.

Her son's eyes went wide when he saw the trigger, "Mother no! You can't kill her!" He went to grab the trigger, but the Goddess ran back, "Mother, Lucifer will stop at nothing to find out who killed her, and if he finds out it was you-"

"But why!" The Goddess could not help the desperation that escaped her voice, "She's just a human! Humans die! How could he want to stay here with them?! With her!"

"It's more than just her keeping him here, Mother. This will accomplish nothing."

Her son dashed at her. The two fought briefly, with her as the winner as she threw her son far from her.

She picked up the trigger, spun on her heel to see her prey looking back at her approaching Lightbringer and--

And an explosion went off.

The second son came up to her, and looked on in horror at the scene playing before him.

"Mother, how could you?!"

But instead of pure joy from a job well done, the Goddess' face was scrunched in confusion. She holds up her trigger, which had yet to be pushed down.

"I didn't do that."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Darkness.

Always. Darkness.

You knew it. Everything. Everyone. It was too good to be true.

You could never escape. He was right.

You try to move, but felt that your body was tied down.

Of course it was. Time for more punishment.

But...something was different. You were laying on your back. He usually laid you on your stomach. He only did punishment on your back, where evidence of your crime, your betrayal, lay.

Did he finally damage your back enough? Was he going for the front now? Maybe he thinks that if he damages your whole body it'll change His mind.

You didn't believe it. Nothing changes His mind.

You start to hear some...beeping? The more you hear it the more panicked you became.

What is he going to do to me?

As the beeping got louder and more frequent you start to hear the voices, but these voices sounded different from what you were used to.

Her heartbeat is raising too high!

She's entering a panicked state!

Get her in the room now!

You felt the table under you start to move then stop. Then there were hands on you and needles entering you.

The beeping grew.

The voices began to shout.

Sir! You can't be in here!

Sir, you must leave! We're trying to save her life!

Security!

But then all the voices ceased, and you felt a warmth. You saw a light in the darkness break through.

"Earth."

That voice...so familiar. So warm.

"My father isn't allowed to have you yet. Come back, darling. You're safe. I promise."

The warmth started at your hand and spread throughout your body. You ran towards that warmth, that light.

"Open your eyes, love."

You slowly open your eyes. You have to blink a few times to adjust. Once you do you see you're in a room. A normal looking room. With monitors, wires, a window, even a TV.

You saw frightened faces in front of you, but to your right you saw that warmth. That light.

"Hello, darling." The light smiles at you.

You try to smile back, but your face hurts, and you can feel something over your nose and mouth.

"Thank You for coming back to me, love. Now rest. I'll be here when you wake fully." The light squeezes your hand gently, and you succumb to his command.

Unknown to you, that light looks to the doctor and nurses and turns bitterly cold.

"Save her. I don't believe I have to say what will happen if you don't."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Lucifer Morningstar refused to leave the hospital until the doctor assured him that you were stable. It took awhile, but Alice convinces him that she would call him as soon as any sign of you waking up showed.

Before he left, though, he made sure that you would be well protected.

"I have a job, Lucifer."

"Yes, well you're still pledged to me, despite your betrayal with my brother."

"You're still on that?"

"Protect K9 until I punish the pathetic human that tried to end her life."

"I am a bounty hunter. I can find this guy quicker-"

"No. Look, Maze," Lucifer put his hands on his demon's shoulders, "You are the only one that I can trust to actually keep her safe."

Maze looks the Devil in the eyes, sighs and rolls them, "Fine."

"Wonderful. Now, let me introduce you to the lovely Miss. Green!"

As if on cue, Alice returns to your hospital door with vending machine goodies in hand, "Oh, hello!" She places her snacks on a chair, "You must be Maze! Lucifer told me to expect you."

Alice holds out her hand, but instead of shaking it Maze looks her up and down. Taking in her floral dress.

"Um," Alice awkwardly retracts her hand, "Earth told me about your skills at that 'girls night'. Very impressive!" She fidgets with her fingers, "I agree with Lucifer. You're the best option to make sure this bomber doesn't get near her again."

"Well, I must be off." Lucifer waves behind him as he walks away, "The Detective needs my help to find the bastard. Ta-ta!"

"Sooo," Alice motions her snacks to Maze, "Want to raid my snack chair?"

Maze huffs.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"What are you saying, Detective?"

"It's out of my hands."

"How could you?!"

"Lucifer-" Chloe looks around them and sees that their conversation was starting to attract attention. She pulls Lucifer into the forensic lab, knowing that Ella was still at the site.

"How could you do nothing?!" Lucifer shouts at her when the door shuts.

"It's not by choice, Lucifer! The FBI took this case over, and I can't do anything unless called upon."

"But she's-"

"I know, Lucifer! You don't think I'm upset too?!" Chloe's frustration clearly shows on her face, as well as the angry tears she kept in her eyes, "My best friend almost died, and I'm being forced to keep my hands off of it! I can't do anything!"

"Well I, for one, am not going to let anyone tell me what I can and can't do. I'll find this scum myself and do my own judgement."

"Lucifer!" But the door has already slammed shut on her.

The next couple of days Lucifer spent texting Maze and Alice, who seemed to be getting along fantastically. He also hired more guards and, despite the FBI agent telling him not to, he opens LUX back up. He received a couple texts and calls from Chloe, but he ignored them.

He was currently searching his phone for a new car for you when Alice called him.

"Doctor says she'll be up in a couple hours!"

"I'm on my way."

Lucifer's on his feet and in his car faster than any human, of course. He first drives to the nearest florist and gets a dozen roses of various colors. He then goes to his favorite sweet shop and gets a box of chocolates.

He parks in the visitors spot and takes long strides to your hospital room. He smiles as he opens your door, but when he sees who's in the room his smile slightly dips.

"Detective?"

"Hey, Lucifer." She gives him a confused look at his expression, "What? You didn't think I wouldn't want to be here when she wakes up?"

"No, of course not." He brushes past her and gives nods of hello to Maze and Alice. He places the vase of roses on the table next to the window and keeps the chocolates in his coat pocket.

Chloe eyes the roses and hums to herself.

"Alright now, darling." Lucifer holds onto your left hand and looks at your face, "You've slept long enough. Time to wake up."

-----------------------------------------------------------

You awoke for the second time in the darkness.

But this time that light was already there, waiting for you.

Your body felt...good. Well, different from how punishments usually go. The light reminds you, however, that this wasn't a punishment. That you hadn't imagined everyone. They were real, and they were waiting.

You open your eyes.

"Welcome back, love." Lucifer smiles warmly at you.

You give him a small smile back and look around you.

"Hey there, girl." Chloe takes the seat to your right and holds your hand. She's smiling, and you see the wetness in her eyes.

"Welcome back Miss." Alice stood at the foot of your hospital bed, gripping the railings tightly to keep her emotions in check. You saw Maze standing behind her in the shadows, but even there you could see the sparkle in her eyes. She was happy too.

You try to sit up and speak, but all that comes out is grunts. Lucifer gets you a glass of water for your dry throat and Chloe helps you sit up.

"Hey guys." You smile at the room after you down the water.

"There she is! Glad to see you haven't forgotten about us, K9." Lucifer smiles, teeth and all, at you.

"How are you feeling?" Chloe squeezes your hand slightly and looks concerned.

"Better. A lot better. What exactly happened?" You look back and forth between Chloe and Lucifer.

"Someone put a bomb under your car." Chloe starts explaining when Lucifer refuses to speak, "That's all I know. The FBI took over the investigation. Even Ella can't tell me anything about what she finds at the site."

"No one else got hurt, right?" You ask her, then turn to Lucifer, "You're ok right? You were there when…"

"No one else got hurt, and yes I'm fine." Lucifer gives you a small smile and squeezes your hand.

Chloe looks between the two of you, heart constricting. Her phone ringing snaps her out of the feeling, "Excuse me." She leaves the room and answers her phone.

"Try to get back on your feet soon, Earth." Alice playfully slaps your covered feet, "The clinic is all ready to go. Just waiting on you to cut the ribbon to officially open."

"Can't miss that!" You wink at her and she laughs.

"Your crew from the precinct and at the clinic wrote some cards for you. You even got one from the team back in NY." Alice points over to the table, but your sight became fixated on the vase of roses.

"Since your up now I'm leaving. I got humans to catch." Maze starts to walk out the door.

"Thank you for being here, Maze!" Alice smiles at her. Maze looks at Lucifer and he gives her a nod, then she's gone.

"You're going to get hungry soon. Let me see what the hospital has for food, and I have to let the doctors know you're fully awake now." Alice waves at you then leaves the room.

"They're mine."

You blink at Lucifer, "What?"

"The roses." He gives you a sly grin, "I noticed you staring."

"They are beautiful. How'd you know roses were my favorite? I don't remember telling you that last night."

"Three nights ago actually, darling."

"...What?"

"You've been asleep for three days. Almost four."

"Oh…"

Lucifer squeezes your hand and smiles at you, trying to brighten you back up, "To answer your question, I asked Miss. Green. It seems a tradition for you humans to give flowers to those in the hospital. I wanted to make sure I got the right ones."

"Hmm," you hum at him, and decide to brighten up for him, "Well, actually, they still might not be right."

"...Pardon?" He was confused now.

"Do they still have their thorns?"

He looks between you and the flowers. Eyebrow raised, he stands and walks over to the vase. He takes out a red rose and inspects it.

"...They do not."

"Ah, damn." You snap your fingers in that "oh drat" manner, "I like my roses with thorns still on them." You raise your hand to him and press your index and thumb together, but with them barely touching, "So close."

He laughs at your sarcastic smile, "Pray tell, why do they need the thorns to be perfect for you, darling?"

"I like to think of them as 'beauty on the outside, danger on the inside'. If you run up and pluck a rose from its bush you're likely to get pricked." You shrug, "Beauty isn't everything. You have to know what's inside too."

Lucifer hums in response, but looks at the rose, not you. He then comes back to your left side and smiles, "I see, but if they still have the thorns you couldn't do this." He puts the rose behind your left ear, and pulls the stem around to your other ear. He sits down and holds your chin with his index and thumb.

"Beautiful." He smiles. You're stunned silent and probably as red as a fire hydrant. It didn't help that your heart monitor started beeping more rapidly.

You hear a cough and knock on your door and see Chloe standing in the doorframe, looking.

"Chloe!" You pull away from Lucifer and shove the rose under your hospital blanket. You tried to ignore the disappointing grunt that came from him.

"How was your phone call?" You ask too loudly.

"Bad news for you, I'm afraid." She comes back to your right side, "That was the FBI agent in charge of this case. He's coming over now that your awake. He has questions for you." She rubs your hand, "I tried to tell him that you just woke up and to come back tomorrow, but-"

"It's ok, Chloe." You pat her hand, "I'd rather get this done and over with."

"I'm back! And not with good food." Alice holds up a tray of that typical hospital food to everyone.

"Which is why I bought this!" Lucifer pulls out the box of chocolates and smiles devilishly.

"Lucifer, she just woke up! I highly doubt the doctor wants the first thing in her stomach to be chocolate." Chloe rolls her eyes at the man.

"It's alright, Chlo. I can suffer a bit more." You smile at her as you take the box from him and open it up to everyone, "I'll probably need this energy for that agent anyways."

For the next hour you, Lucifer, Chloe, and Alice share the food and chocolate while talking about various things. The doctor finally comes in to check up on you, and that's when the agent knocks on the door.

"Hello, Miss. Earth. I'm Agent Monroe." The man comes to stand beside Chloe and holds his hand out to you.

"Hello, Agent Monroe." You shake his hand.

Chloe stands and offers her hand, "I'm Detective Decker. I'm who you spoke with on the phone."

"Detective Decker." He shakes Chloe's hand.

Chloe motions to Lucifer, "And this is Lucifer-"

"Oh, I know who this chap is." Lucifer looks completely uninterested, "He's the one who told me to keep my club closed until this was over."

"And I see you took my warning in stride, Mr. Morningstar." Lucifer smiles at the man and pops a chocolate in his mouth.

"This is Alice Green. My business partner." You motion over to Alice and Agent Monroe shakes her hand.

"I'm sorry I couldn't give you more time to recover Miss, but I feel it's best to let you know now what we have found and how we'd like you to go forward."

"Oh?" You look questionably at him.

"First let me start with the questions," he pulls out a notepad and pen from his suit coat, "Who, do you know, could have been around your car that night?"

"I gave my keys to the LUX valet. Other than him I don't know. Various clubbers I'm sure."

"And you've already interrogated my worker." Lucifer comments.

"Do you know anyone who could hold a grudge against you?" Agent Monroe continues, ignoring Lucifer's comment.

You stayed quiet.

"Miss?"

"Um, no. I don't believe so. Besides, I don't really see this as an attack on me."

Everyone stared at you now.

Oops.

"Miss. Earth," Agent Monroe puts his notepad back in his coat and holds his hands together in front of him, "We have evidence to believe that this was an attack on your life." Chloe and Lucifer looked at him. Alice's eyes remained on yours.

"What kind of evidence?" Chloe asks.

"The first sweep of the area we found only one bomb and it was attached to Miss. Earth's car." He speaks to Chloe, "No other bombs were found in the area. We even checked every car parked."

"I ordered a final sweep," he looks back to you, "and we did find another bomb, but this one hadn't been activated by a trigger. It was activated when the first bomb went off."

"Well if you found another bomb then-"

"Miss. Earth." He raises a hand to interrupt you, "That second bomb was also found on your vehicle, and it was of different make than the first one."

"Are you saying that-"

"Yes." He interrupts Chloe and stares hard at you, "Miss, I believe you were targeted by two different parties that night."

"What?!" Both Lucifer and Chloe gasp at the man. You immediately feel light headed and start to sink into your bed. Alice rushed over to your right and helps to hold you upright. When Lucifer notices he stands to help raise you on your left.

"Mr. Morningstar, I'm going to need all security footage of the parking garage for that night, as well as a couple nights before. Miss. Earth, I highly advise you stay at one of our safety bunkers to keep a low profile."

"No." You take a shaky breath in and out, then stare at him with force, "I'm not going to let these people control my life. I will go home to rest then continue my life like normal."

"Miss, that's not-"

"I don't care." You silence him, "It's what I want and it's what I'm going to do."

"If I may," your doctor, who had been standing in the hall waiting for the agent to finish, knocks on your door, "you'll need someone to take care of you for a few days. You are healing remarkably well, but someone should be with you to help you walk and apply the medication."

"You can stay with me, Earth. Trixie would love to be a nurse for you, considering how she's already worried about you."

"No no. You've already got Maze. Besides, I'd feel like I'd be putting you guys at risk."

"We're only a couple doors down from each other." Alice chips in, "You can have your space and just call me when you need help."

"The lives of those in the building would be at risk." Agent Monroe points out, "It's not a hard thing to bomb a small building like that."

"It's settled than!" Lucifer claps his hands and looks like a kid on Christmas, "I shall be your nurse in my humble abode!"

Oh no. No no no.

"That does seem like your best option Miss Earth. If you wish to continue your life and heal outside of this hospital, Mr. Morningstar's club is a smart idea. We've no reason to believe the attackers wish to harm anyone besides you, but that could be different if you were in a building with a dozen people versus a hundred. It'd be much more difficult to bomb that entire building, as well."

"Plus I've doubled my guard, and my walk in shower has a seat for you to comfortably wash yourself." Lucifer gives you his flirtatious smile and wiggles his eyebrows.

Out of the corner of your eye you believe you see, and possible feel, daggers coming out of Chloe.

Fuck.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Lucifer left the room to call ahead his security team to have the footage ready for Agent Monroe. The agent bid you farewell and gave you his number in case you thought of anything. Alice left next after you forced her to go home and get some rest.

Chloe stayed behind.

"Are you sure you're going to be ok?" Chloe helps you get dressed and sit with your legs dangling over the bed, waiting for the release papers.

"Now that I'm stuck with him for a few days, nope."

Chloe chuckles softly and wraps an arm around your shoulder, "My offer still stands."

"And so does my reasoning." You sigh into Chloe's touch, "If there's someone, or multiple someone's, after me I don't want to put your family at risk. Agent Monroe is right. These people probably don't mind if a couple innocents get in the way."

Chloe's silent for a while.

"Hey, um. Are you and Lucifer…?"

"Nope. No way. Not even in the slightest."

"Then...why did you go out with him?"

"I only agreed to the outing because Lucifer wanted it as repayment for him giving me that construction company. Apparently, helping to save his home wasn't enough." You turn towards her and look her in the eyes, "It was not a date. I swear, Chloe. In fact, I also agreed to it to make sure he was good for you."

Chloe smiles at you and hugs you, "I believe you, Earth. Always do. Thank you." She whispers in your ear. You hug her back, the best that you can with arms wrapped up.

"What are the chances that I can be in the middle of that hug, but with all clothes off?" Lucifer smiles as he walks back in the room.

"Only in your dreams, Lucifer." Chloe remarks.

"It's already happening there. Precisely why I'm asking about it now."

A nurse comes in with the release papers and instructions on the healing process. She explains everything to everyone, then hands the clipboard over to you and Lucifer to sign. You get Chloe to sign it too in case Lucifer forgot something. You think it's evident that he will.

The nurse takes the clipboard then brings in a wheelchair.

"Oh no. I don't want a wheelchair. Just give me the crutches."

"I had a feeling you would say that, K9. Which is why I already took the liberty of putting the crutches in my car so you'd be forced to use the wheelchair out of here."

"Lucifer." Chloe hisses.

"What? As K9's nurse, I want to push her around. At least once." He smiles like the trouble maker he is.

"Push me in a wall or down a set of stairs and I will kill you." You warn.

"Promises, promises. Come now, darling!"

Lucifer pushes you down the hall and outside. Chloe walks with you guys, and once you're secured in Lucifer's car she says her goodbyes and promises to call you tonight.

"Despite you being injured, I'm positively thrilled to spend more time with you, K9!" Lucifer looks sideways at you with a smile as he pulls out of the hospital, "I wonder what secrets I can coax out of you during these days."

You grunt, "Just drive, Lucifer."

"Your wish is my command, darling!"
