Lucifer And Adam Have An Argument About If Short King Really Suffered The Most From His Actions As He Claims
Act I: The War of Words
The heavy oak door to Lucifer’s suite rattled on its hinges. Inside, the King of Hell and the First Man were locked in a screaming match, pacing the room like two toxic co-parents trying desperately—and failing miserably—to keep their baggage away from the kids.
Outside in the hallway, the entire Hazbin crew was pressed against the wood. Charlie was biting her lip raw, Vaggie stood guard with her angelic spear raised, and Angel Dust cradled Fat Nuggets like a shield. Alastor leaned on his microphone cane, his static hum buzzing with pure entertainment, while Husk nursed a cheap bottle of rye.
Lucifer (shouting): I'm the one who has to live with this shit! I'm the one who has to feel the fucking guilt all day, every day!
Adam (sneering): Oh, so you're the victim here? Poor little prince!
Lucifer (growling, eyes flashing red): Yeah! And I know that's not the woke, progressive, intersectionally appropriate thing to say down here, but I would say, yeah!
He slammed a fist against his chest.
Lucifer: I'm the one who has suffered the most because of the actions of Lucifer Morningstar!
Adam (stomping his boot): You’ve suffered?!
Lucifer: Yeah, I fucking have!
Adam (raising an eyebrow, laughing in his face): The most?
Lucifer (nodding sharply): The absolute most!
Adam (counting off on his fingers): Really, dude? More than, say... Eve? My fucking sons? The rest of my descendants—both the Winners upstairs and the Sinners rotting down here? How about the billions of people who have to suffer under the literal caste system you made just to benefit yourself and your little entourage of royal pricks? Satan, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Mammon, Asmodeus, Belphegor—
Lucifer (pointing a warning finger): Don't talk to me about any of them. Especially not Eve.
Adam: No, I wanna know! How are you the victim of their stories, huh? Especially Eve's!
Lucifer: Adam, I'm fucking serious.
Adam: Explain it to me, Morningstar! How do you feel guilt about you and Lilith taking advantage of Eve just because you thought you were 'helping' her, only to screw her over and doom our entire bloodline?
Lucifer (pure angelic red, teeth sharpening): Shut up.
Adam (retorting, stepping right into his face): Oh, it hurts? You feel a lot of guilt because she actually trusted you? Because she was seduced by your bullshit and had to suffer the consequences while you just showed her off like a stolen trophy to brag about? Just like you did with Lilith—
Lucifer (slamming his cane down): I fucking told you before, I never intended for any of this! Your lousy, shitty descendants abused my gift! And now I’m the one who’s forever punished to sit on this throne and look out the window just to see the absolute evil they do!
Adam (looking at him with pure disgust): So that's it. No accountability. Ever. It’s always gonna be the 'misunderstood dreamer' narrative you cling to so you don't have to admit you hurt people. You just want to make me and Heaven the bad guys so you can justify your own cosmic screw-up. Well, fuck off! You aren't some tragic scapegoat with good intentions, you were an arrogant, petty brat who used someone because you didn't get your way upstairs!
Adam poked Lucifer hard in the chest.
Adam: And if you really cared about Eve, where the fuck were you over the nine hundred years me and her had to survive on Earth together? Building human society from scratch, watching our kids become monsters, fighting a brutal world where our former animal friends were corrupted by the Fall! We don't even know where she is right now! You made a huge deal about free will and 'freeing' her from my so-called abuse, but in the end, she was just an afterthought to you. You're just a self-pitying piece of shit who's mad that his actions actually had consequences.
Act II: The Gallery Outside
In the hallway, the eavesdroppers shifted closer, practically breathing on the door.
Angel Dust (whispering, extra arms gesturing wildly): Damn. The First Man is really letting Apple Daddy have it. That is ten thousand years of pent-up, holy-turned-sinner baggage right there.
Rooster (nodding grimly): Honestly? Can't even blame the guy. You live through the history Father Adam did, you're gonna have some issues.
Charlie (wringing her hands, tears pricking her eyes): If it gets any hotter in there, I might just have to barge in. Adam could kill him!
Vaggie (tightening her grip on her spear): If Adam tries anything, I'll put him down. I won't let Adam harm a hair on your dad.
Alastor (leaning in, a sickeningly wide grin on his face): Oh, static nonsense, Vaggie! Don't ruin the fun. This is vastly more entertaining than the 1921 World Series! The New York Giants versus the Yankees had absolutely nothing on this!
Husk (taking a heavy swig from his flask): My afterlife has officially devolved into listening to two ancient, prehistoric farts scream about their exes behind closed doors. Oy vey.
Cherri Bomb (smirking, leaning against the wall): Man... if Adam weren't so painfully straight, you just know these two would be the kind of toxic exes who end up hate-slobbering all over each other.
Nifty (staring with her wide, manic eye, trembling with excitement): Oh, two old enemies fighting! I wonder if I can write an awesome, bloody fanfiction about this later!
Act III: The Final Blow
Inside, Lucifer’s eyes flared a dangerous, glowing purple.
Lucifer: Every single one of these wretched spawns came from your dick, Adam! I say it's your fucking problem they didn't turn out the way they should have! Maybe if you were actually the 'First Father' you pretend to be, Hell wouldn't be full!
Adam: Then why the fuck are you helping Charlie?! If you still hate my condemned spawn so much, why are you here? Look, I openly show my disdain for these losers—though admittedly, I've grown kinda close with a few. Spider Boy’s alright, the bomber chick has spirit, the rooster guy, fish face, even the grumpy cat guy. But you? You claim to be so supportive of your daughter's big dream, but you don't give a shit about the people in this hotel!
Lucifer: Because I am a good father! Unlike you! I love my child, and I will support her dreams unlike anything Heaven ever did for us! I will see this through, even if I find these sinners hard to stand!
Adam (bursting into a mocking, obnoxious laugh): Oh, so that’s it! It’s just Charlie. Everyone else here is just a peasant beneath your grand royal notice, right? That's what you really think. You don't know their names, you don't care how they ended up here, and you don't give a rat's ass about their struggles! You're just projecting your own issues onto your daughter to get back at the Seraphim who rightfully kicked your ass out!
Adam stepped back, adjusting his new, tattered sinner clothes with a sneer.
Adam: Gosh, this is exactly why your daughter's dream is gonna fail, dude. Your kind of 'support' is just enabling destructive behavior instead of correcting it. I've had to clean up your messes because you didn't want to actually rule this place, and then you want to act like a hero for stopping the Exterminations? Even though you signed off on them in the first place! Yeah. At the end of the day, accountability is a foreign word in Hell. So, fuck you. A real father doesn't just enable. He tries to make people better, not act like he's the biggest fucking victim in the universe.
Act IV: The Aftermath
With a violent shove, Adam slammed the door open, nearly sending Angel Dust, Charlie, and Nifty tumbling to the floor. He stopped, staring down the entire gallery of hotel residents.
Adam (glaring): Don't you dopes have lives?
Alastor (stepping forward, his radio filter tilting into amusement): You certainly put on a spectacular show for the masses, old sport!
Charlie (glaring sharply at Alastor before turning back to Adam, her voice soft and trembling): Um... Adam... that was... a lot to unload.
Vaggie (heaving a heavy sigh, looking disappointedly at her weapon): Too bad. I really wanted to use this.
Charlie (nudging Vaggie's arm, pleading): Adam, please. We can talk about this. Together. As a hotel.
Adam (growling, turning his back on them): You can't. You wouldn't get it. None of you do... except maybe my sort-of favorites here. Just leave me the fuck alone.
He stormed down the hallway, slamming his own bedroom door so hard a light fixture shattered in the corridor.
Inside the royal suite, Lucifer stood entirely still. The grandiosity—the theatrical smirks, the conjured rubber ducks, the fiery bravado—had vanished. He looked incredibly small. With a sharp flick of his wrist, a sudden burst of pure, blinding angelic energy surged forward, slamming his door shut with a deafening BANG that rattled the hotel's very foundations, locking the world out.
