Six full days.

[Six days since their powers left. Six days since Rei has felt aura. Six days since Rei has lost the powerful inner senshi within her. Six days since she let that stupid candle burn her.

Six days since Rei has wanted to go to the Inner City and take her abilities backOnly one more day until Rei knows whether or not this is a normal

[Mortal or not, he's still intuitive.]

I take it you saw Jinx.

She wants me to touch her, Rei. I doubt she forgot to mention that to you.

I will break your fingers if you ever do that to her again.

Let's not get into a shoving match. [You will lose.]

Last I saw her, she was happy as a clam, even with the things I've done to her. Maybe especially with them.

Don't you dare try to justify beating a girl half your size to me, you disgusting waste of air.

I am through pandering to your egotistical temper tantrums. I'm also through with letting you push around the people that I can stand in this city. You want a shoving match? You've got one. Stay away from her or I will break your fingers.

And when I get all my powers back, I'll just torture every person you hold dear, from the inside out. I've been lenient here, but if you're tired of the peace, well. I don't mind watching you all die over and over.

There is nothing you can do to me that will make me do what you want, Rei. And don't forget: she chose this. You are free to convince her to choose to leave me, but I think you know you can't or you wouldn't be trying to threaten me.

[Yeah, she's done with texting.]

You are really going to threaten me, and everyone I care about, with everything that I know, Lucifer?

[He's lying on the couch, so all she gets is a view of the ceiling. And the sound of him chuckling.]

Rei, if you live to be ninety, you would never learn enough to really threaten me. If I don't fear God, why do you think I'd quake for you?

Because I know way more about you than you think I do, you arrogant moron. More than enough to defeat you.

But go ahead. Pretend that I'm foolish and weak and naive. It's going to be your downfall if you keep going down the path you're walking.

{And she lives to, like, four thousand, thank you very much. 8|]

No, you don't. [Softly, apologetically.] Especially not here.

There is only one person who can defeat me. [He's tired or he wouldn't have admitted that to her. But hell, he assumes it's common knowledge now that she's buddy-buddy with his brothers.]

[And bah, four thousand. He's billions of years old, little girl /boss]

I know.

[Equally soft, but full of venom and ice.]

And he's told you that he'll do it.

But not here. And not until I take Sam and he has Dean. My brothers follow a strict schedule.

[You would never guess how much the knowledge hurts him; he's smiling and that's all that shows in his voice.]

Well, all except Castiel and myself. But you do know how alike we are now, don't you?

If you trust in that, after everything that's happened, then you're a bigger idiot than I thought.

[Not that she wants the Apocalypse. She's angry and furious and scared and is lashing out at the closest and easiest target, which happens to be Lucifer. She knows it's stupid and she knows it's ultimately fruitless, but she needs some form of outlet.

Six full days.]

Castiel has nothing to do with this.

[He lazily steals a line from Break:] Don't be rude.

And if you really think my family doesn't factor into every decision, you haven't been paying attention.

[... Rei knows she should turn away from this subject. She feels it, in her gut -- that twisting feeling, that instinct that tells her she needs to walk away.]

Castiel is nothing like you.

Rei, even he knows better. Don't lie to yourself. You refusing to make your choices based on fact is why you fail. I know the truth hurts, the truth is more difficult than maintaining loyalty, but at some point you have to face reality.

My little brother is more like me than I ever thought he could be. And what must really bother you is, we share what you would deem 'good' traits as well as the more...questionable ones.

[She is silent, for a moment.]

He hasn't made those mistakes yet. He'll make the right decisions in this world. He won't. I refuse to let him turn into that. Or into you.

[Stop being right, you fucking fuckface.]
