Chapter 113: Talks with Samael

[3rd POV]

After finishing the rather delicious hotdogs, the angels were still in the area, as Lucifer looked over them all as they ate, sitting besides Samael.

“So, God huh? Can’t say I expected it” Samael said, sipping on the juice his father had provided. It was quite good, even if he would never admit that to the man, stubborn until the end, he was.

”Yes well, I am eventually going to become God of everything, so I suppose starting small and learning how to do it, works out well for me. That and It’ll mean I can change up a lot of the less…good rules” Lucifer responded with a small chuckle.

“I apologize for not telling you, Sam. I know that you wished to become God, not that you need to prove anything to Chloe, she loves you more than you even realize” Lucifer added, as the man sighed.

“Of course you know about that. You’re starting to sound like my father, but less..mysterious, thank goodness. And I suppose you know about it because of your oh so mysterious powers?” Samael asked with a grumble, as Lucifer snorted.

“No, I know because it’s really bloody obvious, Samael. No offense to you, but you’re an open book, especially to someone who has lived for an incomprehensible amount of time. Pretty much everyone in this multiverse is, except perhaps your father, and even he has tells” Lucifer responded, as she truly didn’t use any power for this, as it simply wasn’t needed.

Being as old as she was, she knew more about love than anyone else besides her beloved wife. That, and she had watched the show.

“I think you need to stop thinking so little of yourself, simply because of what you had done in the past. You’ve made mistakes, but I have more than anyone. And that isn’t an exaggeration, I have quite literally made more mistakes than any other living person” Lucifer added, before continuing more, deciding to talk heart to heart with her friend.

“You believe yourself unworthy of her, because she’s pure, because she’s a good person. But perhaps you need to start to realize that you are a good person as well, Samael. You devote your time to helping others through detective work, you donate vast amounts of your wealth to charities around the world, even if no one even knows. You have funded some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all time, and none of your siblings have even realized it. You are a good person, Samael Morningstar, and it is about time you realize that” Lucifer said, turning to the man who looked her in the eyes.

“Would a good person rebel against their father?” Samael asked with a scowl.

“You did what you thought was right, Samael. And quite frankly, I agree with what you had done to an extent. Free will is something that should be afforded to everyone and everything, and your father shouldn’t have forced you all into a subordinative position, treating you more like servants than children as you were” Lucifer replied, as she had seen the rebellion in the past, and saw that it was also because Samael simply wasn’t being given the love that a child should have from their father.

“ That, and I do agree with you that your father wasn’t good at being a dad. But, even you can admit that he is trying his best to improve, and has been. Otherwise he wouldn’t have been doing something like this” Lucifer said, motioning to the angels that were chatting with one another with smiles on their faces, their father walking around speaking to all of his children with a bright smile on his face.

“…Yes well, you are certainly correct in that regard. Father never would have arranged something so…familial in the past. All white walls and formal, never a proper family” Samael responded as he remembered the past, and the lack of proper love he had received from either of his parents, his father most of all.

“I’m glad you are at least admitting to that fact. Now you just need to understand that you don’t need to prove yourself to Chloe, and she sure as hell doesn’t want you to. Because we both know that you don’t truly want to be God, all you truly want is to be with the woman you love, as any normal person would want to be with the one they love” Lucifer said, as she leaned back in her chair, Samael doing the same.

“…You’re bloody annoying about this, you know that?” Samael replied, glancing at her as she let out a laugh.

“I know. But I’m the God of love, Samael. It’s in my job description to help you with this sort of thing” Lucifer replied, as Samael raised an eyebrow.

“Yes yes, I’m a God, of many many things, akin to mythological figures like Zeus and Odin and such. I was even known as Odin in a few lives, same with Ra, Artemis, and many many many other Gods” Lucifer added, noticing the look on her friend's face.

“Truly? But I thought you only had one wife?” Samael asked as Lucifer cringed.

“Yes, well the historians of the past made mistakes, and that was one of them. I’d never invite another to lay with me, there isn’t a single being in existence I am interested in other than my wife” Lucifer replied, cringing at the mere thought of it all.

She had never been with another person besides Alice, not in a single lifetime, and she never would. The mere idea of it made her incredibly uncomfortable, as it did for Alice.

“Huh, so you’re the most faithful person in existence then?” Amenadiel asked, as he walked over.

“I suppose I am” Lucifer replied with an amused laugh, realizing that he was right. She was probably one of the few beings in creation that had lived for as long as she had, that hadn’t been even slightly interested in another person.

“So, how long do you think it’ll take until my brother tries something against you? We all know he’s already planning a way of stopping your rise” Samael asked as Lucifer chuckled.

“He already is. He seems to think that if he was to find my wife and children and threaten them that I would not become God. As if he could even find them, much less harm them. My wife would slaughter him, and if not him, then my children” Lucifer replied, as her kids had all been trained in self defense for a long time now, and her wife had continued to train her fairy powers in the background, and it had risen to the point that she could likely do it on a Country Wide scale.

All thanks to the serums and such that Lucifer had given her, massively boosting her power in the area.

“Huh, so he’s more of a fool than I had thought” Amenadiel said out loud with a shake of his head, knowing enough about Lucifer to know that trying to fight her or her family would be a grave mistake, one that would likely end in his brother's death.

“Will you kill him?” Samael asked as Lucifer shook her head in response.

“No, I plan on having him go to Hell where he’ll repent, and then he’ll be able to leave. but only after he’s properly understood that he will not become God, no matter how hard he tries to” Lucifer replied, as even without her help he wouldn’t have, Amenadiel would have.

Which in the case of Amenadiel, she still needed to speak with him regarding him running this place when she wasn’t there, as he would be a great right handed man for this sort of thing. He was basically trained to do it since he was young after all.

“Probably for the best” Amenadiel nodded, agreeing with the punishment, as it was the best way to get their foolish brother to stop.

With the conversation slowly dying down, Lucifer glanced at the time.

“Well, I’ll be off. I’ve got the family to get back to, and they’ll grow worried if I’m gone for too long” Lucifer said, as the two nodded, but not before Samael spoke.

“…Thank you, for the talk I mean” Samael said, as Lucifer turned to him with a raised eyebrow, before a small smile softly formed on her face, as she responded.

”No need to thank me Samael…no need at all”
