{TW: Acts of c@nn1b@al!sm mentioned}

The fight with the scientists had obviously caused more to start coming over to see what happened, which just led to more fighting. I was barely in control of my body again, only really remembering seeing Lucifer helping out by using what he called 'Death touch'.

It was pretty cool to watch, but also kinda terrifying knowing how easily he could've done that to me if he had wanted to. The touch itself made the person's body start turning to stone and then immediately start decaying, just turning to dust.

I also just remember Horror wanting me to save some parts to eat later. I honestly didn't even complain and just agreed. After that fight, I just sat in the middle of it all again, and Lucifer brushed off the bit of dust he had gotten on himself. "I'll go continue to look for Moon. You stay here, if more scientists come, just keep goin' feral on em, kay?" I nod, deciding to just start munching on some of the limbs I had saved. In all honesty, I hadn't properly eaten in weeks. The lab barely fed me, and when they did it was just some crappy food that barely did anything.

This was at least something. Would've been better cooked, but I was hungry and didn't care.

{Lucifer's POV (First person):}

I walked off, letting Dagger just do his own thing, which appeared to just be eating. I knew he'd be fine on his own, considering how well he had handled them the first time. He seemed content, so I walked off to continue searching.

There was no sign of them anywhere, and my guess was they had been somewhere very well out of sight, most likely trying to find Dagger after hearing the alarms going off. After a little while though, I did feel a presence behind me, and turned around, only to have to grab at a tentacle before it hit me. I threw it away from me, the owner of said tentacle pulling it back towards themselves.

I recognized who this vessel was right away. It wasn't Moon, but someone very similar. They were merged with Shattered, a sort of "broken" version of Nightmare's brother. Reaper and him didn't get along very well, just due to how destructive Shattered had always been. "Oh lovely. Just who I was wanting to see." I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"You've been causing quite the disruption, y'know. And I thought your other half hated so much destruction." I had to look down at them, which I found funny. I knew this person was tall, probably around 7ft just by looking at them, and sure, I wasn't that much taller, but I still had to look down, which I snickered at. "Oh he still does, but this is a bit of an exception you could say. Plus, most of it hasn't even been my doing, it was my friend, Dagger's. He's.. in a bit of a violent mood right now."

Her tentacles flicked behind her. "So am I. I'd ask to fight you, but I know your powers. That wouldn't be a very fun fight I don't think." She wasn't wrong about that, I could kill her easily. And I probably would have knowing what she did, but Reaper told me how shitty it was being without a host, and honestly I didn't think anyone should deserve that, no matter how bad they are. "You're lucky I'm even considering sparing you. Mind telling me where Night's knew host is? I know you know, so while you're right here, why not just tell me."

She hesitated, but must've taken in the consideration I could just kill her right then and there if she refused. "Up in the vents. Somewhere. So good luck finding them I guess." That was enough information that I could use to find them. "That's good enough for me, no fuck off before I change my mind about sparing you."

I went back to check on Dagger, just to find him chewing on some random person's arm. "You concern me kid, I'm not even gonna lie. Figured out where your friend is by the way. Went up into the vents earlier I'm assuming."

He nodded, and just continued with what he was doing. "I'll just, leave you to whatever it is you're doing, I'm gonna walk around to try and make it easier for her to find us."
