The Devil's Wife Has Golden Eyes

7

Maze jumps a bit, startled by the demanding and hard tone in Adelia's voice. She visibly swallows and nods, not looking at her boss's wife.

"Open the windows, that's all I'll say. I'll go ahead and take Trixie downstairs, okay?" Adelia nods, noticing that she stopped bleeding. The warlock kisses the mundane child on the head before sending her off with the demon. Maze rushes out of the room with Trixie, not wanting to get yelled at.

"Can you just order her around like that?" "She's a servant of Lucifer's, if I need to I'm allowed to. Mostly I'm just her friend but sometimes she won't listen." Adelia opens the windows and listens, hearing wings within seconds. She gestures for everyone to stand back as the sound gets louder. There is a collective gasp when Lucifer crashes into the floor of the room, wings damaged and body beaten. Adelia rushes to his side and helps him stands, getting enveloped in a hug immediately.

"Thank every soul in heaven and hell that you are unharmed." "What? What do you mean? Who did this to you?" "A certain douche found out about what Maze and I truly are, he attacked us both and I don't know how but he did a great number on me. I was so worried that he would come after you as well." "Dan Espinoza is dead, I'll go kill him myself if I must. For now, let's heal you. I'm sure that Trixie would love to see you. She's downstairs and unharmed as well, just sick." Lucifer nods and Magnus joins Adelia at her side. They nod and Magnus starts healing his wings as Adelia holds him steady.

"There is a section that won't heal." "AMENADIEL!" The angel walks in and is immediately supporting Lucifer. "Hello, brother. Mind helping out a bit? He used one of Maze's toys on that one." "Addie, take what you need." "Right." Amenadiel exposes his wings and Adelia takes a feather, apologizing and rubbing the area after. She places the feather on Lucifer's wound and it heals, glowing brightly throughout the room. Lucifer stretches out his wings afterwards before making them disappear. Adelia takes his shirt off and examines his torso.

"While I am enjoying this, keep it PG in front of your father, eh?" "Lucifer." "Sorry, wanted to lighten the mood a bit." Adelia cleans off all of the blood and heals the minor scratches and bruises on his body. She summons up a shirt for him and Lucifer puts it on. Simon notices that the entire time this was happening, Lucifer never took his eyes off of his wife.

"Sorry if what I say sounds rude but, why are you watching Adelia like she's about to vanish out of thin air?" Adelia looks into Lucifer's eyes and sees the deep concern and fear in them. She places a hand on his cheek and kisses his nose, he pushes his face into the palm of her hand. Tears can be seen swimming in his eyes and she looks at him with so much sympathy.

"Lucifer?" "When Dan hurt us, he assumed that you weren't human either. He threatened to come after you, to hurt you. I'm frightened that... I'll lose my reason for existing... Promise me that if you ever leave the building, you will not be alone. I know you can take care of yourself but if you even get a scratch on you I swear on my Father I will-" Tears start to freely flow from his eyes. Adelia lets out a strangled sob and hugs him close, letting him cry into her shoulder.

"I've never seen you so vulnerable... It's scaring me..." "I was threatened with losing the one thing I cannot afford to lose, emotions decided to just come forth and express my need for you. You know I am not used to being this vulnerable around anyone, not even you. But the thought of losing you is too much to bear. I love you, Adelia. I love you more than words can ever express..." Adelia kisses Lucifer's forehead, then nose, then both cheeks, then his lips. "I love you too." Adelia sends a text to Maze to bring Trixie upstairs and call Chloe as she cuddles into Lucifer's lap. The elevator opens, revealing a sick little girl running over.

"Lucifer!" Adelia moves and Lucifer stands up, lifting Trixie into his arms. "Hello, princess." "Are you okay?" "Plenty better. Someone sounds fairly ill however." "She threw up at school so I had to pick her up." "Oh how dreadful. Are you hungry? Thirsty? What about medicine?" "Addie helped me already." "Is that so? Did you thank her?" "I thanked her daddy for water earlier... No i didn't thank her! Sorry! Thank you, Addie!" "You're welcome, sweetie." Adelia kisses her forehead while Lucifer keeps her close in his arms. The others in the room watch with curiosity as they see the man they know as the devil himself acting as a father practically to a mundane child.

"Well you seem fairly great with children." "I'm truly not, Magnus. Just with this little monkey it seems." "It's true, him and Trixie have grown very close since we met." "Mommy!" Chloe walks over and takes Trixie in her arms, kissing her head. "Thanks for picking her up, Addie." "No problem, I know you're a busy woman. By the way, we need to discuss a few things regarding your ex husband." "What did he do?" Chloe holds Trixie closer and raises an eyebrow when Adelia uses magic to make it so the girl can't hear. Chloe then looks more concerned and also angry, knowing if Adelia is openly using her magic to make it so her daughter can't here then it's very serious.

"He attacked Lucifer and Maze. We needed help from Amenadiel to heal him. My father helped as well, he's like me. Both were in such horrible conditions and now Dan is threatening me as well. Do you have any idea where he is?" "No I don't. Is everyone alright?" "We're fine, Detective. Magnus and Adelia are very powerful warlocks and helped me immensely while Maze self healed. The primary concern should be keeping everyone alive at this point." "You should stay with myself in my loft in New York. It's safest for you four and potentially Chloe and Trixie." "Dad, are you sure?" "Positive. I just got you back after over seventy years, I refuse to lose you again." The female warlock nods and hugs her husband, who pulls her close to his chest. Maze nods and goes to tell Amenadiel the plan while everyone gets ready to head to the loft. Magnus creates a portal when everyone is ready and everyone walks through.

"Guest rooms are in this hallway. If you ever need to go back, let me know and I'll portal you there." "I can do the same, don't waste your magic Ayah." "I'm over four centuries old, a little portal assistance is nothing." Magnus kisses Adelia's forehead as he watches the six guests get settled in rooms in pairs. Magnus sighs and hugs Alec as the rest of their friends leave. The shadowhunter holds his love close as they try to figure out where to go from here.

One thing is certain.

No one will go down without a fight.
