[Lucifer watches Dean's artwork in action from a nearby seat - nearly a throne, despite its simplicity because this is Lucifer's realm. Horrible things, nightmare things, and yet all of them a reality created by none other than Dear Old Daddy. These are His creatures, His monstrosities, and Lucifer barely even needed to give them a nudge to get them to tear each other apart. It's beautiful, and that cold, cruel smile on his face shows his amusement better than words ever could.]

How does it feel, Dean? To finally let yourself go.

[Dean turns to Lucifer!Sam and growls]

I still want my baby brother back, Jackass. Unharmed, untouched. Sammy is mine to play with. Not yours.

[Demon? Yes but there are things about Dean that won't ever change. Sam is one of them]

[srsbusinessk]

[The corners of his lips curl, so very very amused, and he shakes his head.]

Temper, Dean. Really. I give you freedom, and you're still not happy?

[A sigh, and then he's on the opposite side of the table from Dean, staring down at his newest victim.]

Sam is...special. But you know that. [Looking up at him now] But he's not a toy, Dean.

[dude_imbatman]

I would have gotten my freedom regardless. [Defiant to the end. He takes a filleting knife and swirls it slowly across the bicep of his victim, separating muscle from bone.]

He's not your toy. You need Sam. I want him.

[srsbusinessk]

[Watching, amused.] A few more years and I think you would have. [Oh yes, he is definitely talking about Hell.]

So greedy, but at least you're honest. Finally honest to who you really are. [He places a hand against the poor victim's forehead, and for a second, it changes to Sam's form before melting back into the original person.] You'll have your toys, Dean. But for now, Sammy is mine.

[Dean considers this. It's probably the best deal he's going to get regardless of whether he argues it or not]

Fine. I want him back whole. He's no use to me broken already. Breaking them is the fun part.

[srsbusinessk]

Oh, he is very broken, Dean. Even now, as we have this conversation, he's falling apart.

[He frowns, nothing more than a farce, and his eyes wander to where Dean's tools lay methodically on a table.]

Simply more wounds for you to pour salt in, no?

[dude_imbatman]

[Dean considers this then nods. When he speaks it's a bit of a growl]

As long as there's still more to break.

[srsbusinessk]

There is always more to break, Dean. And you are the very best at breaking him.

[Just like every second of this conversation is tearing him apart inside. Is this really what Dean wants?]

[dude_imbatman]

[Dean chuckles at that]

You do have a point.

[No but then this isn't Dean's nightmare. It's Sam's]

[srsbusinessk]

[And at that thought, as if on cue, Lucifer straightens back up, even going so far as to adjust the cuff of his perfectly white sleeve.]

Well then. I'll leave you to your...toys. Don't worry about indulging. There are plenty more simply dying for a turn.
