The Darker Side of Life

Curses can be Blessings

     "The embodiment of what!?" I questioned my boyfriend, scared for my life.

     "Zero Energy. It's basically the void of Light and Dark energy."

     "So, she's pregnant with a god." Tuck paraphrased sarcastically.

     "Yes. And it is coming at an alarming rate."

     "What!? I'm dreaming!" I spoke to myself. I felt a kick, and it hurt. I fell because of it. Lucifer and Tuck carried me to a portal The SCP Foundation made. We walked through it when I cried out in agony.

     "Get her to the medical facility!" Lucifer commanded the units on hand. They carried me to a bed, and I felt something in my womb.

     "Ow! It hurts!" I scream as nurses come into the room. A doctor was there; She was ready for whatever comes next.

Tuck's POV 

     I sat outside the medical bay with the Wolfdog. I was worried out of my skin. Lucifer was carrying a purple and black sword. It was curved at the tip.

     "So, you're the brother Ella talks about." Lucifer said, breaking the silence. I nodded, eavesdropping on the doctors. 

     "Why did you have to show up!?" I retorted, looking at him. "You have destroyed our relationship!"

     "What do you mean by that?" He questioned, looking angry.

     "We wouldn't be in this mess if Ella never found you!"

     "She saved my life."

     "We used to do everything together! Now we never hang out!"

     "I ne-"

     "Dad! Uncle Tuck!" Arya exclaimed, running toward me. "I made a new friend!"

     "What's his name?" Lucifer asked the young wolf, looking deep into her.

     "He is a big lizard!"

     "..."

     "Lucifer... Do you know who this is?" I questioned, meeting his gaze.

     "SCP-682. The Hard to Destroy Reptile."

     "We cuddled for a few hours before men took him away."

     We heard a cry from the medical bay. It sounded like an infant. The doctor invited us in. We entered and saw Ella and a puppy; The puppy was made of that Zero Energy Lucifer talked about. I looked at its blue skin. It was like the Zero Point Lucifer told us about. It was nursing. 

     "He is a male." Lucifer said, looking at the strange anomaly. "He is my son."

     "I want to call him Zero." Ella spoke softly before drifting off to sleep. Zero stopped suckling and looked at me. His pupilless eyes stared into my soul. I was caught off-guard when he licked my nose.

     "Dad. Who is that?" Arya asked her father, looking softly. 

     "Your new brother." Lucifer answered as he got up. "Arya. Tell Ryder to leave without us. You will go with Aunt Eve and Uncle Marshall."

     "Yes dad." She said before walking away. I went with her to go with the pups. 

A Few Weeks Later 
Lucifer's POV

     "Zero. Come on! We don't have all day." I called to my little bundle of energy. He had matured very quickly in these past few months. He was still mortal. We were finally bound for Adventure City after being at Site-19 for so long.

     "I'm coming dad." He replied, teleporting. He has similar power to mine, except it is Zero-based, not Dark-based. Another surprise was that Zuma missed the chance to leave. It was not all bad, though. He made a great bond with Zero and SCP-054, the Water Nymph. He also helped lead a Navy-based assault on an island owned by The Prophet. 

     "I'm coming, dudes!" Zuma exclaimed, drenched in water. I used a fire spell to dry the Chocolate Lab off. "Thanks dude!"

     "You're welcome. Where's Ella?"

     "She was chilling in the breakroom."

     "Thanks." I said to Zuma before going to the breakroom. Inside I find Able cuddling with her. "So, the mighty hath fallen. Able the dog-cuddler."

     "Shut up!" SCP-076 snarled. Ella was enjoying herself.

     "Up a bit." Ella interjected, receiving cuddles from a ruthless warrior. Able stopped and left. I carried Ella on my back to the transport truck we were being escorted in. I saw that Zero was asleep. Zuma was being used as his pillow.

     "He's so cute!" I spoke with a laugh. As we were about to leave, Agent Hallow joined our transport.

     "Hello, General Lucifer and Admiral Zuma." He greeted behind his white mask.

     "Sup Ache."

     "What's up, dude?"

     "Nothing much, you?" He replied, petting the sleeping Zero. He picked him up and set him in his lap.

     "I'm going to text Chase really quickly." I responded, pulling up my prosthetic. It had a messenger app on it, so I opened it and texted Chase

Ravager103: sup

ChaseBOII: sup

Ravager103: hows AC

ChaseBOII: good how's Zero

Ravager103: hes ight

ChaseBOII: ?

Ravager103: hes doin alright

ChaseBOII: that's good

Ravager103: we just left Site-19

ChaseBOII: thank goodness, Arya is going insane

Ravager103: gtg bye

ChaseBOII: see ya

     I got off my messenger app and went to sit by Ella. We had not had one-on-one time since we arrived at Site-19. I held her paw, and she looked at me. We kissed. I had missed this. Her lips against mine. I was enjoying the moment until Zero spoke up:

     "Dad, Mom, I am hungry. Could we potentially stop for food?"

     "Sure, I'm feeling peckish myself." Ella agreed, forcing me to comply. I radioed the head driver, and we stopped at McDonald's. We got our food. Ella and I switched trucks, and had some alone time.
