The Devil and a Joker

19. Death

Lucifer's P.O.V

"MY GOD"I was alive again? Wait what? I quickly sat up to see I was in a room, like a doctors room or something like that. I was laying down on a metal table. This is odd, I mean I'm on a metal table in a d-Oh yeah I died kind of. I didn't really see anything I mean why would I, because I'm alive.

I got up and saw I wasn't wearing any clothes."Fuck"I mumbled as I looked around the room, there was my clothes that I died in but they were covered in blood."Screw it"I quickly put the clothes on and was about to walk out the door when a voice stopped me.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you"I looked to my side to see a blonde boy sitting on the floor. He was smirking at me, okay this is weird! I mean how come I didn't see him before, how did he even get in here and why is he even here?"I'm here because well call me a liar if you want but I'm dead. Wanna hook up?"He winked at me, I laughed at him trying to flirt with me of all people.

"Hell yeah I'm flirting with ya kid. Your cute, look my age and also are the Antichrist. What's hotter then that when I'm dead."He got up and smiled at me."I'm Grim, like the reaper.Well,I'm one reaper....There is like a lot of us. Anyways just call me Grim, you and everyone can see me unless I don't want the to."

"Okay Grim, I'll bite. Why are you here and talking to me?"I don't trust him at all."Also did you read my mind"

"Kind of but I'm here because well Lucifer, as in your father, sent me. Since you died he wanted a Grim to stop you from really dying because you can die. Also the only reason I can read your mind is because I'm your reaper, a birthday peasant from your poppa since he's missed all the other ones"Grim smiled brightly at me.

"Okay"I said."So how long was I gone? I mean it couldn't have been that long"I smiled at Grim who was still smiling at me.

"Well it's been a year since your death and everyone thinks your still dead. That's a good thing because if you outside no one will know it's you at first.But the thing is....Well, the reason it took so long for you to come back is because your body needed time for your powers to kick in"Grim seems way to happy for a dead person."Kid, I'm dead being happy is something that the dead don't normally do so just suck it up"

"What do you mean by powers?"

"Knew you would want to know"He flashed me a tooth grin."Well, it's way harder to kill you now. The whole 'wants you deepest desire' thing is stronger and people will act out bad when around you if you want. So they will do their deepest desire. Moving stuff with your mind, fire proof.Shit like that"Grim walked to the door."We're at an old hospital and the reason you shouldn't go out there is because there's a gang out there that will try and kill ya. Well, that's if they chose to kill you or something else."

"Right...So are we going to leave this place?"I asked.

He just smirked and told me to stay there until he tells me to come out. I nodded and after a moment he came but in and told me to leave. When we were walking outside I noticed that they were some dead bodies on the floor. Once outside I was hit with the cold air of Gotham, people pushing to get them selves to work and there was the bright lights of buildings.

"Wear this"He gave me a hoodie, I put it on and we began to walk."If your wondering why no one is really looking at the blood on your clothes well it's close to Halloween, like a week or so or something. You humans are so much fun, I know your not really human but-"

"Where are we going?"I asked as we walked down into more of the city.

"I was thinking we should go see Jim or maybe find that uncle of yours or even Jerome~"Grim gave me a flirty wink and grabbed my hand."Too bad I might take you myself if that red head doesn't"

"Yeah right, he broke up with me. And I'm too good for that human because he's nothing to me, just a crazy red head who looks good"I shot back, I was just not in the mood to talk about him. "I want to see Robert, wonder how he's been doing with out me"

"You will see Luci"Grim winked at me before pulling me off."But first we need a make over done on you like now because that hair is too long also you might want to change your name, if you don't want cops on you"
