Lucifer walks over to Jess. He kneels down and gets ready to put his hand on her forehead. The wound on Jess's neck heals and she quickly wakes up. Lucifer quickly backs away but falls down

Lucifer: Holy shit!

She sits up and looks at the flower

Jess: I'm alive?

Lucifer: Very much alive

She looks at him. He's looking at her in shock. She grabs her neck and feels her skin

Jess: But how?

Lucifer: I was going to ask you the same question

Jess: Who are you? An angel?

Lucifer: Yes

Jess: You're here to make sure I'm dead right?

Lucifer: Actually I was here for her

He points at Ariel

Jess: Ariel

Lucifer: Mmhmm but if you'll excuse me

He gets up, goes over to Ariel's body, and touches her. She opens her eyes and gasps for air while picking herself up halfway using her hands. She begins to yell as her teeth sharpen, wings come out, nails grow longer, and horns come out of her head. Jess watches in shock

Jess: Holy shit

Ariel looks at Lucifer and bows to him

Ariel: My lord

Her voice was deep

Ariel: I serve you and only you

Lucifer: Look at me child

She does. He puts his hand on her forehead. It starts to burn her as she yells. He takes his hand off

Lucifer: Now you serve me. Go home, I have some...

He looks at Jess

Lucifer: Unfinished business to attend to

She nods and disappears

Jess: Is that what's going to happen to Michael?

Lucifer: Yes and all I have to do is

He lifts his hand

Lucifer: Place my hand on his head

He puts his hand towards Jess's forehead but she moves away

Lucifer: And he's all mine

She looks around

Jess: Where he is?

Lucifer: He's back at home

Jess: No he can't. I never told him

Lucifer: Told him what?

She stays quiet. He kneels in front of her and puts his hand under her chin, pulling her close to him so they're face to face while smirking

Lucifer: What are you hiding child?

She stares at him

Lucifer: Tell me

Jess: N-No

He glares

Lucifer: If won't tell me, then I have no other choice

He takes the flower from her hand. She panics and tries getting it back but he grabs her neck with his other hand

Lucifer: This flower is very special to you right? I bet you don't know what this really is?
