Nothing happens, Lucifer snaps again and Lucy still stands with her eyes closed. Finally, she slowly opens them to look at him in confusion. She watches Lucifer study her for a second before his glare deepens as it turns to someone behind her. 

"If we're going to do this, I will need your help. Prepare yourself." Loki whispers while squeezing her shoulder before stepping around her to stand across from Lucifer. 

"Hello, old friend." Lucifer darkly chuckles.

"We are not friends." Loki shakes his head. "But thanks for that." 

"Why are you here to stop me? We had a plan, we were going to finish this together." Lucifer inquires. "We were going to rule the world."

"No, you were going to rule. I was just going to be given Asgard you mewling quim." Loki growls.

"You know, I still don't know what that means." Lucifer sighs while tapping his chin.

"Get a dictionary." Lucy scoffs under her breath. 

"You may never know." Loki states while backing up slightly, Lucy instantly does the same.

"What is this? A team up? How pathetic." Lucifer laughs.

"Now, Lucy." Loki orders as his scepter begins to glow, Rowena suddenly appears to the left of Lucy while mumbling an incantation. Lucy screws her eyes shut and balls her fists as she begins to think about sending Lucifer back to the cage. 

Winds whip through the air and push her hair high into the air but Lucy refuses to open her eyes, Lucifer yells in anguish and Loki lets out a slight scream. Someone falls to the ground and Lucy's eyes snap open to see Rowena unconscious, Loki grits his teeth and steps forward.

Lucifer turns his dark gaze from Lucy to Loki and deepens his glare. Loki's knees shake and he soon falls on them. Finally, Loki collapses and Lucifer turns his gaze back towards Lucy. She feels the pressure all around her and a scream escapes her lips as the pressure builds and begins to physically hurt.

"Just face it, Lucy," Lucifer states, his voice echoing in her ear. "You're going to fail." 

"No, I'm not." Lucy hisses while stepping forward.

"Yes, you are," Lucifer yells back. Lucy grits her teeth and falls to her knees as a new wave of pressure fills the air. She screws her eyes shut and screams as she gives out her last bit of energy, the last punch if you will.

A loud crash comes from somewhere off to her right and Lucifer goes completely silent. Lucy is blown back and crashes into a brick wall about a block away. She groans and rolls to the side to see Lucifer scrapping against the ground as some kind of vortex pulls him towards its black waves.

She squeezes her eyes shut as her head starts to pound with the last thing that Lucy sees being Lucifer getting sucked into the vortex.

Three Days Later

Lucy groans while opening her eyes and rolling to the side. The blinding light not helping with her blasting headache. Footsteps walk towards her side of the room and stop at the foot of the bed, Lucy slowly lifts her head and blinks a few times before she sees Dean standing with a smile.

"Hi." She whispers, her voice croaking.

"Hello." He smiles. "How are you feeling?"

"Like shit." Lucy sighs. "How are you?"

"Better than you are." He chuckles.

"How about everyone else?" Lucy demands.

"Good, all awake and fixing their wounds." Dean states. 

"What about....Lucifer?" Lucy slowly questions.

"Back in the cage, thanks to you," Dean replies while sitting down on the edge of her bed, both of them stay silent for a few seconds before Lucy speaks up again.

"What are we supposed to do now?" She inquires. "Now that this is all over...shouldn't we separate?" 

"You want to leave so fast?" Dean demands, slightly hurt.

"No, but so many people have to be confused and hurt by this, Dean," Lucy argues while shaking her head. "We have to go back, cause it's about the whole world...not just us." 

"Stephen said he could put the world back," Dean whispers while shaking his head. "He...uh, he just said that he needed you to be awake and he wanted to make sure it was what everyone wanted." 

"Yeah, well....I wouldn't say want. It's more like a need for the world." Lucy mumbles while scrunching up her blankets and closing her eyes to keep the tears from streaming down her cheeks. "Could we all at least wait a day? Say goodbye to one another before this all ends?"

"Yeah, but can I ask you something?" Dean questions.

"What?" Lucy demands now realizing that she and Dean had moved closer to one another without realizing it.

"Could I....I don't know....maybe find you when our worlds go back to normal?" He inquires.

"I'd kick your ass if you didn't," Lucy smirks and without a second thought, Dean presses his lips against hers. She climbs on her knees to get closer to him while wrapping her hands around his neck.

"Oh! Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" Steve's voice cuts them both off and they instantly back away from one another, each blushing like a tomato. "I uh...I was just coming down to say that Stephen returned and he's waiting upstairs." Steve states with his eyes still covered. "You guys come up when you're ready...I'll uh...I'll let myself out." 

Steve turns to walk out of the room and hits the door, Lucy chuckles and watches him until he's out of the room again. Dean clears his throat and rubs his chin before speaking. "I'll uh...I'll meet you upstairs."

"Yeah, see you," Lucy whispers while smiling to herself. Maybe this wouldn't be completely horrible.
