Beautiful Monsters

Part 33

Lucifer was cheering on Danny in his lacrosse game. Lydia was trying to decode the second list of the dead pool with Meridith, a banshee from Echen, whilst the others were helping with ether the murderous teen on the field or helping Lydia decode the list. 

Alex, she was in the Hale vault, searching for desperate answers. 

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE NO INFORMATION ON WEREJAGUARS!!!?" She inhumanely growled at the real Lucifer who was standing next to Crowley in hell. They had decided to co-own the place. Both flinched at her harsh tone. 

Derek and Chris had entered just as she started walking up the stairs. 

"We don't know. They aren't common, to be honest, they've been wiped out a long time." Lucifer told her.

"I DON'T FUCKING CARE! IF MY FRIENDS ARE GONNA DIE, I WANNA KNOW. FIND SOMETHING BEFORE I COME TO HELL AND SHOW BOTH OF YOU WHAT A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE IS!!" she ordered and hung up. When she reached the top, she calmly stated: "Gideon, seal bunker please." 

The AI answered and did as told. 

"She can get in the vault?" Chris asked, making Alex finally realize their presence. 

"You weren't supposed to know about that." she muttered. 

"About you being able to get in here or the department that's solely for you?" Derek asked her with a raised eyebrow. 

"My bunker. What are we doing?" She asked. 

"WE aren't doing anything." Derek told her. 

"I could easily penetrate your mind, so let's make this easier on both of us and stop being an ass!" she snapped. 

"You two back to friends yet?" Chris asked her after a long silence and a brief discussion on Kate between him and Derek. 

"We're getting there, I think." Alex answered and got into his car. 

"I can tell he wants your trust; you are just scared he'll hurt you again. That's why you're not pursuing your lover, isn't it?" He asked with a smirk as the car came to a stop. Chris was proud of himself for figuring out what was partially weighting on her shoulders. 

"And who is this lover you speak of?" she asked with sass, there was no way he could have known. 

"Derek's uncle, Peter Hale." he answered, making Alex's playful smile fall slightly. 

"How'd you know?" she asked, then added: "How aren't you disgusted by me? How are you still smiling? What the hell?" 

"I've had my suspicions since Alan instructed Peter too enter your head. Actually, a while before that. The way he saved and nursed you back to health. And I'm a bit disturbed by the fact that he's a lot older than you but if he's your mate, or if you love him. Who am I to hold you from happiness?" he answered. Chris knew Alex was scared, he had more than a few conversations with her father where they discussed the girl. He knew that her father was scared of losing her, that she was scared that if she loved the person she wanted too, that everyone else would leave her. 

"Let's sort this Kate thing before -" He was cut off by Alex's ringtone... Highway to Hell. 

"Crowley? Is there a problem? If it is a prophecy I don't wanna hear about it." she immediately questioned. 

"Look, I did a little research. I found something, don't know if it's going to help but the Werejaguars control Berserker's. I thought you should know they aren't easily killable. That's probably gonna be the hardest obstacle to getting to kill your 'friend'." Crowley told her, making Alex hum and cover the phone speaker.
