"There is no way." Lucifer snarled.

"He'll be back." Raven said, sure of herself.

Ugh. Who was she kidding, she was terrified. Of what would happen to the poor crossroads demon that was trying to prove their worth, and how Lucifer would react.

For being the king of hell and all, Lucifer treated her with surprising kindness. He had only raised his voice at her once. That was when she was only a minor crossroads demon.

A few years before, her status was just beginning to rise when she did what no one else had ever done.

She caught the Winchesters.

She never actually hurt them, and had duplicates made to torture. She let them slip away, and said if they ever needed anything, to have them contact her.

Lucifer found out. He yelled. Hell shook as his rage increased. But he calmed. He said he loved a chase. Raven became Lucifer's right hand demon.

Raven was surprised too, don't worry.

"Raven, are you listening?" Lucifer asked, annoyed. Raven shook off the though and smiled softly at him.

"Pardon?"

"I said where is he?"

"Last check in was in New York, 81st Street." Raven pursed her lips. "A day ago."

"Damn it!" Lucifer stood.

"I thought he had potential. Apparently I was wrong." Raven frowned. "I apologize. The Winchester's are tougher than we thought."

"Not your fault..." he took a deep breath. "It's the stupid demon's! What's his name again?"

Raven chuckled softly.

"What is it?" Lucifer asked her, approaching her slowly.

"It isn't a secret or anything, sir." Raven cleared her throat. "It's just an ironic name."

"And that is...?"

"Damon."

Lucifer laughed once loudly. It was deep, so deep in fact that Raven could have sworn she felt her vessel's chest rattle.

She chuckled quietly again. "Sir, in going to go see where the demon's whereabouts are, and if he's dead, send in Azazel's right hand."

"Justin?" Lucifer's nose wrinkled. "That guy disgusts me, and I run hell."

"Well, he did choose a horrible vessel." She bit the inside of her cheek.

"I'm not talking about the vessel."

She tared at him and blinked. Then they bust out into laughter.

"Damon?" Raven asked. Meat suits littered the floor, their spirits floating in the veil. Where were the reapers to collect their souls?

Oh Cain...

"Damon!" She panicked a bit. If the reapers were gone, that must mean they were attending something. Something big.

Oh Lucifer, what are you doing?

Raven teleported to hell and frantically looked around. "My king?"
