Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.

[andrew_angel]

I might very well be going insane. It happens. In this line of work, the things we see, the extremes; although this is not triggered by work, no. It’s Lucifer. I feel myself everyday step closer and closer to the brink. Every day I don’t see, every day I don’t feel his touch… I feel myself slipping.

As soon as we break through the ether to council I can feel him. "He's here."

I move to the board room and the angels sent to get me follow. Pushing open the door I see him in full form. I've only seen drawing of this. He has never shown himself to me in this form...

My breath stolen from me for a moment as I relish in his power. He is truly magnificent. I feel the angel behind me push my back slightly and I step into the room.

"Lucifer."

[lu_cif_er]

I drop Michael when I hear his voice, Andrew. I sneer and turn glaring at them all one by one then fix my gaze on him. "You think this changes things bringing him here!"

I turn away and glare at them again. "Bring me Archangel Gabriel! I will pick off your loved ones until you do! Find him!"

[lord_kenta]

I look at the others then my eyes settle on Gabriel. He should have been given over to him when the truth came out.

He sighs but nods. Lucifer has been well behaved for far too long but now with the complications of Andrew... this should be no surprise to anyone. I am sure there are those on council who will not agree, but let them deal with Lucifer.

"I have no problem handing him over," I look at the others, "any of you object?"

Gabriel sighs and rubs his hand over his face as he curses under his breath.

[lu_cif_er]

I stalk over to where Lord Kenta speaks and lean in close glaring at him. "This is not up for a vote!" I draw the power of my darkness up around me and I know he sees it as shadows flit across my face. They treat my request as a joke!

I snarl out. "Unless this is what you wish for your precious lover!" I send him an image of Lord Christian burning in hell. "Bring him to me!"

[det_anderson]

I'm barking orders into my phone as I'm heading down to council chambers and at the same time someone comes running up to me and says that Andrew is already there. Great.

I shove my way through and find Andrew standing not far inside the door. Lucifer is threatening Lord Kenta.

I grab Andrews elbow and pull him back to demand in his ear as I speak hurriedly. "Talk to him, see if you can distract him, calm him, get us some time, something!"

[andrew_angel]

I glare at him, "All he want is what he should have already gotten! Give him Gabriel and all this will be over!"

Everything will fall into place. Gabriel wronged him, he deserves this!

[det_anderson]

I sigh impatiently. "If we had him I'd hand him over in a heartbeat. We don't know where the fuck he is!"

I glare at him. "He starts killing people we'll have to bring in the Vessel Andrew. What if Michael calls Metatron through, you really want that?!"

Andrew's eyes shift and look past me and go wide. I turn to look and see Archangel Gabriel standing there.

[andrew_angel]

I make eye contact with Gabriel and don't dare breath. He is so close, we are so close! My heart jumps up into my throat.

I send a message to Lucifer he is here my love. I step back against the wall and look at Anderson hoping he does the same.

[lu_cif_er]

I pull back and turn toward where Andrew is. Gabriel! Then I narrow my eyes as I sense his soul.

A sneer curls my lips. "Come join the party Gabriel." I thrust out my hand and dark tendrils extend out ensnaring him and dragging him to me.

I curl my fingers around his throat and smile in his face. "Seems I judged your heart correct."

[t0m3k_s]

I look into his eyes and I know he knows. "Yes seems I have one after all." My adams apple presses on his throat as I speak.

"Is it sacrifice enough for you?" I jam the syringe I have hidden in my hand up between my ribs and his answering smirk mocks me as I push the plunger in and instantly am hit with the pain.

My hand falls down as his blood shoots through me and I start to convulse. I hear the sound of his laughter. I choke out. "Do it..."

[m4rl0n]

I see it before it starts, Thomas. I cut my eyes to Anderson Not Gabriel, it is Thomas. Then we see it start to happen and see a syringe fall from his hand. He has more than likely injected himself with Lucifer's blood. We shall soon have a new dark angel.

I send a message to Jethro to protect the family at all costs; war may yet still be upon us.

[th3_13ft_h4nd]

I know it as soon as I see him that is not Gabriel but I know I am not meant to stop this so I do not. It is the long coming of the dark times. A suffering that has to happen. To stop Lucifer would be catastrophic.

I stand and watch him press his fingers through Thomas' flesh and into his heart and then it is like hell rises up to be in the room with us and swirls around them both. A whirling mass of darkness and flame sears the air obscuring view and when I put my hand out to touch the edge of it the heat curls the skin on my fingertips painfully so I pull it back.

Then as quickly as it began it shifts and the mass is seemingly sucked back into one spot on the floor, Thomas is gone and all that is left is Lucifer laying scorched and naked, wings burnt to the stumps, unconscious.

I know what those burnt wings mean. He has paid the ultimate price for his love. Mortality.

[andrew_angel]

I rush to him and cover him with my wings. Why is he not healing. I look up at Michael but he just shakes his head. Looking back at Lucifer I touch his face and see blood... no... no no no!

I touch his shoulder and take us to Dr. Neesom. I holler out for him, "Laim! LIAM!"

I hear him running towards me and I look up from the floor at him, "He is mortal... he is hurt!"

My love gave up everything for me, for us. I cradle his head in my lap and stroke his hair, "I love you so much..."
