Lucifer's pov
"Alright your highness listen up. This community is a unit. So to get one of us you have to get all of us" Rosie pushed me onstage "and there's one person who's a little difficult"
"Ugh Susan" alastor groaned.
"Yeah Susan" she nodded "and she's well-"
"A real bitch" alastor said with the kind of sass I didn't realise he was capable of.
"Pretty much" she shurgged "but you're going to do great honey, now knock them dead!" She pushed me in front of the microphone.
"Right" I cleared my throat "hello everything, my name is Lucifer and I'm really excited to pitch my-"
"Boo!" A woman who looked a day away from turning to ash booed me.
"Susan" I turned to them.
"Susan" they said in unison.
"Okay" I braced myself to deal with her "you see the exorcism is coming here in less than a month-"
"Who cares!"
"And we have the tools to deal with this threat-"
"Where's the camaraderie?"
"We could use the help of any volunteers if possible-"
"Fucking mediocre-"
"Fuck you you old bitch!" The crowd gasped at my sudden outburst.
"Ok I think we'll take five" Rosie gently led me away, still fuming.
*Time skip*
"Thanks for the tea" I muttered as I picked up my teacup.
"No problem honey. I'm always looking an excuse to pull out the teapot" she sipped delicately "You know I get the feeling that there was more than just Susan bothering you. Wanna talk about it"
"Well it's my wife"
"Ohh romance. My speciality" she giggled.
"Well she's been helping me prove reabilatation can be achieved this whole time and I thought I could trust her but I just found out that she made a deal to enter heaven"
"Oh fuck, that's huge" she muttered "how do you feel?"
"Confused, angry. I know things were tough between us but I never thought of abandoning her and Charlie the way she tried to. Now I'm not sure if she really wants to stay with me" I hugged myself with tears in my eyes.
"You love this girl don't you?" She asked.
"Of course I do!" I said firmly.
"Then you gotta fight for her" she sat next to me, placing her hands on my shoulders "honey there are so many married couples who can't stand each other. You're one of the lucky ones. Don't let go of her now"
"But how can I trust her after she betrayed my trust like that" I looked up vulnerablely.
"Your right, she fucked up. She's flawed. Who the hell isn't down here" she chuckled softly "but that's no reason to give up on each other. You've been together since the start of creation. You're the relationship many people down here dream of having. Talk through it and make this work"
"You're right" a smile returned to my face "but first I need to rally the troops. How am I going to do that?" I faltered.
"How do you normally get your point across?" She asked.
"Well by singing but it never works" I sighed.
"It will here" she smiled knowingly "now let's greet the people"
*Time skip*
"Alright people let's try this again" she pushed me forward.
"Right" I stepped towards the microphone which was too tall for me. I struggled trying to adjust it when alastor handed me his microphone cane "thanks" I nodded before turning to the crowd.
"have you ever wanted something that was so clear in your mind that you could taste it?"
"You mean like human flesh?" Susan popped up.
"Eh sorta" I smiled nervously "it's a feeling like a rumbling in your gut that you could be faced with a billion needy faces I guess what I mean to say is, for the first time in my life I may have to be ready for this, ready to be the one who's leading the parade. Gotta come into my own, gotta come into my throne, gotta take charge and defend my only home. And even though I kinda feel unsteady now I need to be ready for this"
I marched out to the front "have you ever had a feeling that you're willing to die to save the people of your city"
"As in die do you mean use my teeth to rip human flesh apart?"
"That's a start!" My words brought a smile to her face. It's working! "Cause right now we need a leader and it seems like destiny has picked me to be that if you'll permit me so who's with me! Wouldn't it be super to see more of hell?" I started tapdancing "join up now if you like travel, come on boys hop in the saddle! Lots of sights to see at my hotel not to mention the camaraderie, yes sirre! We'll form life lasting friendships with friends along the way"
"And feast on all the angels you can eat" alastor chimed in.
"Okay" I looked away awkwardly. The cannibals started chanting amongst each other.
"It's time now to act, they're on the attack. When they come to fight we will fight fighting back. We'll follow your lead, we're eager to feed. We prepared ourselves for the heavenly feast. From this moment on you can count on us, to be resolute and ravenous. Oh hey come join the fresh buffet"
"Well that's a little violent can we tone it down" I asked nervously.
"Oh don't be put off by the snarling, that's enthusiasm darling" Rosie said reassuringly
"They just seem a little murdery right now" I looked at them nervously.
"Don't you worry honey that's their thing, keep singing"
"We're super duper grateful to have you folks aboard" we sang together.
"We can't wait to taste an angels wings"
"Oh lord!"
"For the first time in my life maybe I can be ready for this. I can be the one leading the parade" the cannibal's lifted me on their shoulders "gotta come into my own and I think I've always known that my destiny could never be postponed. When Michael brings the battle here I must appear like I'm ready for this" I held my fist up to the heavens. I'm ready for you.
"They're dancing along, their singing his song" Rosie watched me excitedly.
"Surprised? Why I knew he could do it all along" alastor winked at her.
"He's bound to pass the test as the king of hell" they danced together "like his daddy he is madly powerful!"
"He's filled with potential that I could guide" alastor grinned menacingly.
"Ok I'm in!" Rosie grabbed him by the shirt.
"Stick with him you'll be on the winning side!"
"For the first time in our lives we know that we are ready for this" we sang in unison.
"We'll show heaven a fight they won't forget" Rosie grinned
"It's time to take a stand"
"It is time to lend a hand!"
"Huzzah!"
"Against the angels and their deadly threat!"
We cannot take it anymore, the time has come to go to war. Prepare to fight, we're ready for..."
"THIS!"
"I really hope that I'm ready for this" I looked up to the sky nervously.
