Lucifer's perspective

Rubbing his neck once again Lucifer looked at his reflection in the water. The three scars that appeared when he had woken up still glowed faintly green reminding him every second.

Was it stupid of him to make such a deal? Three favors doesn't sound like a lot considering Alastor had, had wanted five but Lucifer has more power over everyone in hell. And making that deal was too make sure his addiction was kept a secret. He would never say that it out loud but he was ashamed of himself.

He was weak to his own mind. How pathetic.

Picking up a duckling in his pond he smiled petting its fur. Enjoying this section of Almost Earth in hell made him feel better. Even if the ducklings we red and the grass was dead and almost every animal looked like they would love to pluck his eyeballs out with there mouths.

Realizing they're all looking at him now in the blood red water he dropped the duck he held.

"Sorry I was just saying hi." He told them. They didn't move for a full minute until a cry broke what ever trance they were in. Guess they decided he'd probably taste chewy.
Even though most of the ducks went on with their life swimming happily a few came up and started to peck at his boots. He laughed stepping back. "Sorry ducky's my shoes are not food. Are you hungry then?"

The answering chirp they gave made Lucifer's heart swell. He always knew he could count on them.

A week later,

Alastors perspective.

His steps echoed on the tile as Alastor causally walked down the hall. The chill that hung in the air after hours didn't necessarily bother him. Breaking into the V's headquarters was surprising easy as it was disappointing. He knew exactly what was going to happen anyways. He'd break in, confront them, and then call Lucifer for reinforcements. Though obviously he wasn't so dense to think that this meeting will go just as he hopes.

Quietly approaching the door he cleared his throat. Let's get this over with.

Raising his leg he kicked his way inside. Pain shot up his body but he ignored it as the door opened with a groan.

"What the fuck?!" Screamed a voice in a corner.

A light blinded Alastor as Vox stepped out of his bed. His screen face glitched for a second trying to get out of sleep mode before he tried to run at Alastor and running into the wall beside him instead.

Alastor rolled his eyes. This idiot.

"Vox over here my dear." He called as Vox shook his head turning around with anger shining bright in his face.

"What are you doing at 3 in the morning breaking into here! You couldn't have just come visit me during business hours, you red glowing cockroach!"

Alastor narrowed his eyes at the insult looking Vox up and down. "Well, yes i could have but where's the fun in that? Besides we need to have a little chat my friend."

Vox rubbed a hand down his face, "we can have a conversation later, you're not my friend and, leave now!"

Alastor laughed turning on his heel to inspect Vox's room. Blue wall paper decorated the large space, little sharks swimming in a floor to ceiling tank. Maybe Lucifer should come here just to take notes on what not to do to his furniture.

"Oh Vox, your sense of decor is as dreadful as your manners," Alastor said, smirking. "But alas I didn't come here to criticize your taste. I came here because we have a problem that needs addressing."

Vox glared at him still fuming, "what problem could we possibly have that is so urgent, you just had to break in at this hour?"
Alastors smile widened, a hint of menace in his eyes, "oh you know what it is. Lets just say it involves something that you took from me. And if I don't get it back by the end of the month I'm going to have to call on a favor with somone who isn't too happy with me"

Vox scoffed at him. "And what? Want to give me one reason why I should give it after you disappeared for 7 fucking years And then break into my room like a stalker?"

Alastor huffed a laugh. "Because if you don't I'll have to take matters into my own hands." Stepping closer he felt for the string inside his heart that tethered Lucifer to him. Grabbing hold of it he yanked and grinned creepily at Vox.
The next second, Vox screamed as a violent rumbling shook the ground. A golden light shimmered from the floor, cracking open as Lucifer rose from the hole like a zombie. When they finally managed to look at him without grimacing, Lucifer was dressed in ducky pajamas, looking utterly confused. He looked around and Alastor and Vox stared at him bewildered.

As if he just realized he wasn't in his bed Lucifer wondered out loud, "where am i? Alastor?" He asked when he saw Alastor behind him.
Annoyance flashed across the kings face as a puff of gold went around him changing him into some real clothes. "You really couldn't have done this in the morning, Bambi? After not seeing you all week?"

"Oh please let's not act so uncivilized. It was part of our deal that I get to call my favors in at anytime remember?" 

Lucifer glared at him but sighed. "Right. What do you need then?"

They both looked at Vox who was still in shock staring at the hole in the floor. "Well my dear, Lucifer do you see that glass water tank behind us?"

Lucifer frowned tilling his head to the side. "Yes why?"

Alastor ginned keeping his eyes on Vox. The Tv man looked confused but what alastor said next had Vox sprinting for the door.

"Break the glass and grab hold of my arm."

Lucifer face showed how much he didn't want to do this but the X's pulled taunt on his neck forcing him to raise his arm. The glass shattered instantly when Lucifer blasted it with his divine powers and grabbed hold of his arm like Alastor had said. Staring at the incoming water for a split second, hearing the sound of Voxs screams made the trip worth it as they dissolved into shadows.
