Lucifer strode toward the couch, eyes fixed on his wife, ready to take his rightful place by her side—only to freeze as Alastor slid in beside her, wearing a smug, defiant grin. Their eyes locked in tense silence, the air practically crackling with challenge. But before either could speak, Lilith—calm, composed, and unbothered—raised a hand and struck Alastor sharply on the back of the head. The force sent him toppling off the couch, pride and all.
Lilith (coolly): “Oh, forgive me, dear. You had something clinging to you.”
Alastor (gritting his teeth): “And what, exactly, was it?”
Alastor: so this is the lovely queen, it’s such a pleasure to meet you *kisses Lilith’s hand*
Lucifer: 😡
Lilith: it’s nice to meet you too Alastor
Charlie: so mom how about a tour of the hotel
Lilith: sure sweetie but first I need your fathers help with something
Charlie: oh what do you need help with mom?
Lilith: just a bit of cleaning, it appears I’ve got some dirt on my hand *gives a brief glance at Alastor*
Alastor: *slightly narrows his eyes*
Lilith: darling would you mind 😊
Lucifer: not at all my love 😊
*walks out the room*
Angel: wow toots looks like your whole family got beef with Mr. tall dark and creepy 😂
Charlie: *sighs*
-For this scenario, Lilith doesn’t own Alastor soul, yes she does know who he is and his reputation. However Lilith is protective of her family and after watching Alastor interact with her loved ones she does not appreciate how manipulative he can be with Charlie nor will she tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her husband.
It had almost two weeks since she had been brought to the castle. Two weeks of sleeping, crying, or being lost in thought. Two weeks of coming to grips with what has happened. Two weeks of denial, in hopes her wings would come back and she could fly her way back to heaven.
“Knock knock, you decent?”
She jumped hearing Lucifer’s voice, she still hadn’t gotten used to the fact she was in the king of hell’s castle. It still surprised her that the man hadn’t come around much less try anything with her. What did he want now?
“Come in” The door creaked open and in walked Lucifer, much shorter than she expected, and holding a tray in hand.
“Glad to see you’re sounding a bit better, you’ve got your voice back, and you’re not as pale as the first time I saw you.” He says with a soft smile and setting the tray down in front of her.
“Wh-whats this?” The angel asked, curiously staring at the food in front of her.
“Just breakfast, you haven’t eaten since you got here, and well two weeks is way too long to go without food.” Furrowing her brows she looked at him warily and shrugged muttering.
“I’ve gone longer”
“You don’t have to eat everything, but you need something on your stomach, Without it you won't heal well.” Looking back down at the tray, she was still confused, there had to be some strings attached to this. She was never just given food like this without any sort of trade deal or without it being taken.
“You…you didn’t do anything to it?” There was a soft chuckle that came from the demon king who sat himself down in a spare chair.
“No no, if you’re thinking I’m trying to poison you, sadly you’re mistaken. I’m not into that whole make you give up your soul and do my bidding for eternity for selfish wants thing.” Then there was a soft growling and clattering noise. Lucifer looked up to see the exorcist shoveling food into her mouth. Lucifer knew it had been a long time since she’d eaten but was still concerned over the way she hovered over the plate like an animal protecting their kill.
“Ey ey careful, don’t want you to choke or make yourself sick.” He warned gently, he watched as she swallowed what was in her mouth and wiped her mouth with her hand. Thankfully she slowed down a little much to his relief.
“Damn I knew you’d be hungry but, I really underestimated ya kid.” At first, the angel didn’t seem to like the name ‘kid’ but she straightened up when she realized Lucifer was an immortal being who’d definitely been around much longer than her.
“So, you got a name, young angel?” The angel almost dropped the piece of pancake she had in her hands and shrugged. This made Lucifer raise a brow.
“Did my brothers not name you when they created you? I’m surprised to know Adam hadn’t given you one either.”
“H-how did you know?”
“Lilith told me.” The angel sighed and answered the original question.
“Most of them called me a monster…’the monster’ or ‘machine’….Sir Raphael and Gabriel called me ‘little creation’…” The light from the angel’s golden eyes became dim, Lucifer sighed.
“Those two were never the best at naming things….Ey look kid, I know that I don’t know much about you or what you’ve been through but. I wanna help you.”
“Help me?” She echoed back confusedly.
“Yes, I want to do what I can to help you.”
“I-I don’t need help…what I need is to get back into heaven.”
“And how are you gonna do that?” She shrugged and gulped down the water she was given.
“Once my wings grow back, I’ll fly my way back.” Another laugh came from Lucifer as he adjusted himself in his chair.
“I’m sorry to burst your bubble, kid but. By the time you get your wings back, it’ll be too late. They don’t just get ripped out and regenerate at the snap of your fingers.” Her face scrunched up with anger, shaking her head as her hands balled into fists.
“No I have to get back up there, I can’t stay here. I can’t fail again, I have to get back to heaven! It's my fault I’m down here. I can’t wait that long, I have to go back!” Her voice trembled as well as her body. Her hands started to tangle and yank at her silver hair as her breathing became ragged. Lucifer could see her panicking and quickly got up from his seat.
“Hey hey it’s okay, you’re not a failure, things happen.” Continuing to shake her head, the exorcist curled away from Lucifer as she clawed and yanked at her hair. Lucifer stood back, he wanted to help but was unsure of how. He just stood and listened as she cried herself through a panic attack.
“My fault, my fault, my fault, my fault, it’s all my fault.” She frantically repeated over and over. Lucifer felt useless as he watched the poor thing spiral, though relief came when Lilith entered and sprung into action.
Once again Lilith pulled the exorcist into a gentle embrace, though this time singing softly. At first, Lucifer didn’t think it would work, however, in the next minute, her hands went from clenched in her hair to weakly holding onto Lilith’s wrist. Her panic repetition slowed down to a stop. This time she wouldn’t let Lilith go, almost like a scared child hanging onto their mother. Lucifer figured this was the first woman in the angel’s life that was ever this kind to her. Lilith didn’t seem to mind this as she gently brushed her fingers through the angel’s greyish-white hair. The ends and roots seemed to be darkening slowly, as were her arms, going from an almost stark white to a dark gray.
One day Lucifer dropped a book in the angel’s lap.
“Wh-what’s this?” she asked, Lucifer smiled and replied teasingly.
“Well kid, I gotta know what to call ya if you’re gonna stay here.” Her hands brushed over the book, reading over the title. ‘Book of names’.
“I-..I get to pick it myself?”
“Yeah, ya do.” A small smile curled at her lips as she cracked open the book, and flipped through the pages. Lucifer stayed for a while before leaving her be and went to spend time with Lilith. Finding his wife in the kitchen drinking her coffee he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Hello, Lili Flower~” He purred sweetly, Lilith giggled feeling her husband nuzzling into her back.
“Morning, Luci, how are you?”
“I’m alright, what about you, my love?”
“Quite well, so how is the angel doing?”
“She’s alright, I gave her that book so she could pick out a name.”
“That’s good” Lilith eventually turned around and pulled Lucifer into a loving kiss. The demon king kissed back tasting the coffee on Lilith’s lips.
“I see you’re trying out that coffee Ozzie made.”
“Mhm, and must I say, it’s definitely working.” She smiled while going back to her mug.
“Good, I’d hope so. Anyways, got any plans for the day?”
“Hm no, I don’t have anything scheduled. Though I was thinking about taking her out of the castle, maybe to the park or stores?” Lucifer nodded at this idea.
“I think that would be good, she hasn’t been outside in a while. Plus I was thinking maybe offering the redemption thing since she’s rather hellbent on getting back into heaven. Though I won't if you think it's too soon.” Lilith shrugged and took a swig of her drink.
“It won't hurt to offer it up, I believe she knows deep down she can’t get back into heaven, and if she were to she’d get even more hurt. But she’s clinging onto the only place she’s ever known.”
“I can’t say I blame her, she’s been through horrific things I’m sure-”
The sound of soft footsteps pattering against the floor echoed through the castle and made their way to the kitchen.
“E-excuse me?” The angel’s voice called out, turning their heads to see the young exorcist standing on the threshold holding the book Lucifer had given her.
“Oh hi, dear, have you picked out a name?” Asked Lilith, she nods shyly and hands the book back.
“Ph-Pheobe” Both husband and wife shared a fond smile, as they praised her choices.
“That’s a pretty name”
“Oh yeah, it has a similar meaning to Lucifer’s” Phoebe looked curiously at Lucifer when they mentioned the meanings.
“Lucifer means bringer of light, or bright, similar to Pheobe which means radian, pure, or bright.”
“You’re good at picking names, kid” This made Pheobe blush lightly as she fiddled with the robe she was dressed in.
“Th-thank you”
“You’re welcome. Hey, we were thinking about going out today, would you like to come with us?” Phoebe seemed confused by this offer, why were they wanting to take her out? Wouldn’t they want to keep her hidden from others? Why would the queen and king of hell want to be seen with someone like her?
“A-are you sure?”
“Yes, you haven’t been out in a while and you need new clothes, so I think it's perfect,” Lilith reassured softly, Phoebe stalled a response before agreeing to go along. Lucifer made breakfast as the other two got dressed. Since Pheobe hardly had any clothes Lilith came in with a dress of her own.
“It might be a bit big on you but, I think you’ll like it.” It was a short black dress that reached to her knees and covered her back. Looking at herself in the mirror, Phoebe’s expression remained neutral. She didn’t know how to feel, on the one side she was grateful and it felt nice to be in something so pretty. On the other hand, she was still wondering when the dice would fall, when the coins would be cashed in, and what they would want from her in return.
“You’re very pretty, you know.”
“Y-you think?” Lilith nodded as she adjusted the dress and started to brush Pheobe’s hair out.
“Wh-why is my hair so dark?” The roots and ends were darkening day by day and climbed to meet each other. Lilith knew Pheobe wouldn’t take the news well but she couldn’t lie to her.
“It can happen sometimes when you stay in hell. Some people’s appearances will change.” She explained she wasn’t going to fully tell her she was becoming a demon, knowing it was too soon. Phoebe seemed to take the answer well enough, nodding quietly. When Lilith had finished, they went down to meet Lucifer at the front to begin their day out.
This would be the first time Pheobe had ever fully seen Hell or well at least Hell’s pride ring. Phoebe was nervous to venture out, not knowing whether any of the demons would recognize her as an exorcist. Most of them didn’t seem to pay any mind. She remained close to Lilith and Lucifer who guided her around. They went into many shops, and many were curious as to why the king and Queen of hell had a random girl following them around but most didn’t inquire openly. Sticking to their corners and whispering amongst themselves.
This place was much larger than expected and a lot redder. Not to mention not as chaotic as she had thought. Sure you’d see a gang of sinners doing something devious but, most people were just going about their day. Going on walks, getting food, and groceries, or cleaning up.
“This place is much calmer than I expected” Phoebe commented quietly as she kept up with Lucifer and Lilith.
“It can get chaotic a lot of the time but it's hell that’s so be expected though, most times it can be pretty docile with a few crazies getting their murderous fix in.” Lilith replied, maybe this place wasn’t so bad?
Maze's mother Lilith shows up in LA. She and Maze may not get along - and that's a huge understatement - but nevertheless Lilith does not like the way the humans and Lucifer have been treating her daughter.
