Deckerstar - The End is not the End

In the Loop

Amenadiel, Lucifer, Chloe, Zadkiel and Raphael all land on Earth in 2021 in the middle of an oddly lit Lucifer penthouse.  Of course Zadkiel and Raphael were not in the time loop so their presence will be outside of that as to not disturb anything.  Their mission was already decided and they were moving off to complete that.

"Ready?" Amenadiel said as he looked at Lucifer and Chloe.  When they nodded, he closed his eyes.

Lucifer and Chloe were kissing passionately on the balcony with his hands under her shirt when both of them arched their heads back and they took in a fast deep breath shaking their heads.  They were now in an earlier version of themselves.

"Mmm, right where I wanted to be," he said as he dipped back in deepening the kiss and his hands continued their exploration.  "I will never get enough of you."

The elevator ding interrupted them and Amenadiel walked in and rolled his eyes at them and cleared his throat to get their attention.  

"Okay, Brother, how does this all work?" Lucifer asked as he unfolded from Chloe's arms but continued to hold her hand.  "Will we remember this so we need to control our thoughts or what?"

"Luci, I am not quite sure what you and Chloe will remember but we know the role we have to play for others.  My guess is that you will remember everything but the existing memories of the loop once we continue it, should exist for the other versions of you so we will have to work not to change the loop."

"And other celestials?  Will they realize something is off?" Chloe asked.

"There is a possibility that Maze will sense something but we will cross that bridge when we come to it."

"Okay so where are we in the loop?" Lucifer asks looking around.  "Dan doesn't seem to be around so I doubt that Rory is back."

"No, we are right before Rory making her presence known to Dan.   I wanted us to have time to look around and see if we notice anything that is different.

"I am going to head to Linda's and check in on Charlie.  Let me know if you notice anything."

"Brother?  Are your powers intact?"

"For now, Luci," he answered but looked down at his bandaged arm as the elevator door started to shut.  "But something is very wrong."

"Umm, my love, what is the first thing you want to do on our return to the mortal plane?  I know I can think of several things and places."

"I want to see Trixie," she answered with tears in her eyes.  "I just want to hug her."

Lucifer smiled.  "I haven't gotten to hug her in a long time myself."

"You know, I would feel badly about that but I remember all the cracks you made about the small human hugging you."

"Yes, well, can't I be a reformed devil?"

"Maybe one quick hug.  I will tell her to do it to torture you.  She won't know the difference."

"Well played, Detective!"

"Here's the thing...I have no idea where she is," Chloe said shaking her head.  

"Ahh well we have access to God or even better, the cell phone in your back pocket probably has the answer," Lucifer said smiling making Chloe laugh at him.  

Chloe started scrolling through her phone and then sent a text to Trixie as Lucifer grabbed a glass of whiskey.

"Umm there is nothing better than mortal whiskey."

"Nothing?" Chloe said approaching him and bringing his head down to hers promising more later and fully tasting the whiskey on his tongue.

"Whiskey, my love.  No better whiskey."

Chloe's phone went off and she smiled as she read it, "She is at Dan's parents and they are finishing dinner.  She told me she would love a goodnight hug."

"Then let's go deliver that hug before we get started on other things."

"They are moving," the shadowy figure said into the device in his hand.  "Yes, we have them and the other one.  

"When does the girl arrive?  

"So by tomorrow we should have a decision on what we will do?  

"Yes, I woke the child up but apparently she was too young to remember anything because nothing changed.  

"Things may have changed more than we know.  We just have to keep disrupting."
