Sleeping with the enemy

[andrew_angel]

I don't like this, but it is my job. Lucifer has crossed a line this time. We know it was his blood used in the attack on Dan and the murder of Lucia. I grab what I need from my desk and slip into the ether finding him in Hell.

I reach out and grab a hold of his wrist before his fingers lay hold of his target. His eyes cut to mine with a flash of anger and in seconds with a simple look I have him on his knees as I snarl at him. "Do not forget who you bargained with false son of the betrayer!"

He looks up at me with fear. "Cat got your tongue." I sneer at him knowing it is I who have silenced him. "It seems our terms are going to have to change." I lean down in his face. "Bring me Archangel Michael instead." I lift his hand and lay it over the syringe. "Make him see it, the death of one he loves so much. Drive him mad with grief." I smile and whisper in his ear. "Tell him why his lover died at your hands... Didymus."

I let him go and turn my attention to the lovely sight before me. "This is so beautiful Thomas. I admire your work." I run my hand up the angels thigh, under the robe and over his cock and balls, cupping and crushing them in my fingers listening as the sudden pain brings him out of unconsciousness with a moan and a whimper as he attempts to shift away from it.

"It is a shame you did not fill him with your seed first so the stench of it runs down his thighs along with his blood." I smile and look back to see the horrified look from Thomas on his knees. "For that is what I would have done with your brother."

I take my hand from the angel and lay it against Thomas' cheek. "He gave his life for his father's children. But you fall more true to your father's seed. You have as much contempt for everything he created as he does."

As we get closer I sense not evil as I expected, but something much more sinister. I've been in the presence of Lucifer before, but this... this is different. I worry about Elijah he is driven by his pain and desire for revenge.

We stop at the back of the large house. We were told whose house and why he chose this. That he may mimic the owner, or he may be in his own form. Either way Elijah and I will know who our target is... the sense of power is strong and there is something... I can not place it.

It feels as if it should be pure, but is .... I stretch out and feel Lucifer for sure. And.... suffering - death is so close.

"Lucifer is in there. Someone is one the verge of dying.... an angel."

[elijah__j__wood]

I feel a sliver of doubt at feeling Lucifer in there. I can't read him. I don't even try. The other one I poke at but he soon and quite easily repels me out of his mind. I try harder and all I get in reply is a laugh echoing around in my head.

I lash out in anger and am surprised at the pain that rebounds and slams into my head. I grab the sides of my temples and moan with the force of it. "Fuck!"

As the pain subsides I straighten up and glare at the back of the house. The door between me and him. I know this is the one who killed her and if he thinks just because he has good mind defence he can stop me he has another thing coming. He has no idea who he is dealing with!

With a single thought the door goes flying off its hinges and lands inside the house smashed in pieces against the wall. I go charging in determined to rip this angel apart!

I enter the doorway and down a hall. I hear Eugen call my name but I ignore him and keep going through toward the front of the house into a larger room. That's where I see him standing ahead of me and I falter at the sight of Michael crucified behind him.

I hear Eugen call out in pain behind me and at almost the same time something goes flying straight over my shoulder, I feel it shift my shirt, and Eugen cries out again. I turn to see Eugen slumped to his knees his hands wrapped round a stake that is sticking out of his chest. "Shit! Eugen!"

I move to him quickly. As I crouch down and take him in my arms I see Andy move past me with his gun raised. I hear Lucifer's laughter echoing around the room. I try to move Eugen but as soon as I do he tells me through his pain to stop. It's then I notice something wrapped around his ankle, it's cut in deep and he bleeds from it. Silver wire. Some sort of trap. I must have stepped over it. "Fuck!"

[andrew_angel]

I am not happy that Lucifer is here. He just can't let it go! If he thinks I will back off he is truly mistaken.

Moving to Eugen I use the snips I carry, mainly to secure a vampire, to cut the chain from his ankle. I can hear Anderson speaking, buying me time, as I flip open the bottle of potion and pour it on his ankle. It heals as I grab the spike, "Heal as fast as you can."

I pull the spike out and Eugen moves fast past Elijah towards Tomek. I hear Lucifer laugh again and I sneer up at the ceiling. I stand as I throw a poisoned silver knife at Tomek.

[t0m3k_s]

Lucifer's laughter is really annoying me. I take form as I slip the gun out of my waistband. It takes a simple flick of my wing to knock the knife away and it clatters uselessly to the floor.

I get off one round into the vampire and he falls at my feet then as I am about to pump one into his head the gun is torn from my hands and I feel a crushing pain in my chest that has me on my knees.

I clutch at my chest and I see the little one glaring down at me with such hate in his eyes and I know it's him. He is crushing my heart with his mind. I hear Lucifer's breath in the air telling this one to do it, urging him on for Lucia, whispering his darkness to the guardian. Now I understand what he wants from me.

I chuckle as I feel the light closing in on me. I will give Lucifer what he wants. My death my sacrifice for his freedom. "Bye baby bunting..."

[eugenebad]

Elijah is killing him, that's what they want! The pain is immense, but I will not let Elijah fall! I try to feel my vampire side.... but there is nothing! The bullet - there is something in it.

I clench my teeth and look over at Elijah, I can't let him finish him. With all my energy I will my wings to their full length and knock Elijah to the side. His hold on the bastard broken. He is weak though from the pain. Using my wings I hold throw him to the ground hoping Andrew or Anderson can further weaken him.

[t0m3k_s]

I hear Lucifer roar in rage and feel the heat of his anger flood the room and then he is gone. I look up at this angel holding me down and laugh as the empty syringe drops from my hand. "Pity I was looking forward to a home visit."

Then as I hear a cry of pain/realisation come from the guardian I see Anderson's face come into view and I know I'm going back to my cell as his hand comes down and pain blooms and darkness overcomes.

[andrew_angel]

I move fast and touch Elijah, Michael and Elijah and use the ether to take them to Dr. Neesom. I call out for him and he and Dr. Murphy are there taking them from me.

"Michael is bad! Full of Lucifer's blood. Elijah has been injected as well. Eugen has been shot. I have to get back to Anderson."

With that I am back at Anderson's side - at the Order. I know Lucifer is pissed and there will be hell to pay, possibly my relationship with him. I can't think of that now - I don't want to.

"Stan needs to read him."

[det_anderson]

I look down at Tomek's unconscious form as I start on the restraints. I have him back in his old cell. All the wards are in place, every single one I can think of.

I glance up at Andrew when he appears beside me.

Stan needs to read him.

Most of the time I try and keep Stan away from trouble but this time...

"I agree. He was way too eager to die. Call him in."

[stanripley]

I hear the call and step out of the ether next to Keanu. I look down at the angel that lay at his feet. He looks at me and I know what he wants.

I kneel down and place my hand on his arm and my other hand takes Keanu's hand. My eyes open wide at what I see. Everything we expected, the attack on Dan and Lucia's death.... but his true identity.

I look up at Keanu, "Was this expected?"

[det_anderson]

It's such a lot to take in but his identity hits me immediately and then what he suspected Lucifer wanted slams into me and I pull my hand out of Stan's in shock as I look over at Andrew.

I lean against the wall and look back to Stan. "No it's not what I expected, not at all."

I cut my eyes to Andrew. "He is Thomas, the apostle." I don't think I need to spell out the rest for Andrew. The fact that he is Jesus' twin brother.

[andrew_angel]

My mind spins with the information. "D-do we have wards strong enough to hold him?"

We can't sentence him to death... can we even hold him? Why did Lucifer want this? He was encouraging Elijah to kill, in cold blood, he would have fallen. That is just Lucifer though...

[det_anderson]

I look down at Tomek, Thomas. "I guess so. We managed to hold him before. I doubt he stayed here all those years because he wanted to."

I run my hand through my hair and sigh. "We have a bigger problem though. Lucifer." I look up at Andrew. "I think he did all of this for you Andrew and I don't think he's going to stop."

[andrew_angel]

I furrow my brow and look at him and Stan. "All Thomas knew was Lucifer wants freedom. Why else would he if not for you Andrew?"

I clench my teeth and try to ignore the beating of my heart and the ache so deep there. Lucifer does not enjoy who he is, the darkness consumes him, drives his actions. But he has held onto his hate of the maker for so long.... but now, now he knows love.

I look down and shake my head, "No other."

[det_anderson]

I shake my head and look at Stan. I can fully understand where Lucifer is coming from but...

I don't want to have to lay down the law with Andrew but I have no choice. "We can't let him keep on this path Andrew. I don't know what exactly he is up to but when it involves all this death and mayhem he has to be stopped. What's he going to do next?"

[andrew_angel]

"I will have to talk to him. He is already unhappy with me, might as well dig my own grave," I look up at their widen eyes, "so to speak."

I am sure I will find him in Hell venting his anger on some soul. I wish I could just go home, slip into bed with angel Lucifer and feel his arms around me and forget about today. Perhaps he wishes that as well. Damn.

"If I am no longer needed..."

They shake their heads no and I slip into the ether and search for Lucifer.
