ONLY ANGEL (Lucifer Morningstar x OC)

14. Serious

"Angels can be killed with angelic weapons!" Charlie says happily over the phone.

"Oh my god, I'm gonna have an aneurysm, I could've told you that! You didn't need to make a deal with Alastor!" Ellie cringes, sinking down into the couch, keeping the phone against her ear.

"Oh..." Her voice drops the slightest bit before picking up again. "Well, it's not just that! He knows people who can help us. So, I guess we're gonna try to kill the angels. I just wanted to call you to tell you that you don't have to join us if you don't want to. I get it if you don't. I mean, they're bad angels but they're still your people at the end of the day."

"Um, yeah, I don't know. But I'm not turning you down, okay? Just let me think about it. It's a little weird, me helping you kill them but I believe in you and what you're fighting for. I think redemption is possible and worth the fight. So, I'll think about it and get back to you later," Ellie clears her throat.  "Actually, no, I'll help you. It'll be hard but it'll be worth it."

"I have something you can help with! If it's not too much trouble." She sings out.

"The way you're singing it makes it seem like I'm not gonna like it." Ellie jokes.

"You probably won't like it," She laughs. "Alastor claims that Velvette said the Vees have a whole assault plan."

"That's what she was saying, yes."

"I was wondering if, since you know Vox, you could go talk to them and find out what the plan was." She says and Ellie can hear her smile.

"I'd normally say no but since it's you, ugh...yes." Ellie sighs.

"Thank you! I'm headed to Cannibal Town now so I'll check in with you later. Love you!" Charlie cheers.

"Love you too." Ellie smiles before hanging up.

"What is she asking you to do?" Lucifer asks from the other couch.

"Talk to Vox about an alleged assault plan against the angels." Ellie gives a thumbs up.

"You're not seriously going back to talk to him are you?" He laughs.

"Maybe I can prostitute my way to getting the plans." She hums.

"Please tell me you're joking."

"Half joking?"

"Maybe I should go with you this time."

"No, no, no, not unless you want there to be a big media mess in the morning." She sits up more.

"But he's a dick and he always says such gross things to you. And don't even get me started on the other ones and their love potions and porn." He rolls his eyes.

"You can come if you promise not to show any of your dislike for them. At least not until we know what their plan was." She holds her pinky out.

"Fucking finally, I get to see the asshole up close and personal," He smiles as he holds out his other pinky. "If the world already thinks we're dating, why bother trying to change their minds?"

"Vox isn't just gonna tell them we're dating, he'd say I'm pregnant and that it's not yours but you think it is so everyone hates me." She laughs.

"I'll behave myself and I'll leave the room if you have to resort to prostitution." He places a hand on his heart.

She just stares for a moment before turning away to stand up. She's already dressed, wearing a long black skirt and a white shirt but she does put on her sunglasses. Her bag is sitting on the table so she walks over to grab it as Lucifer begins to stand up.
