Chapter 27: A little vacation & a deal & a new friend

After watching Dormammu disappear into nothingness, I told Dr. Strange to leave the dark dimension so he doesn't become trapped here. 'Right than, lets absorb this energy while filtering out the negative bits as I could use this for a future plan of mine, hehe.' After absorbing the energy and filtering it, I hide it away inside myself for later use. Taking out Yamato, I make a rift to Strange, Mordo, and Wong. "Well, it was a pleasure helping you guys out but I need to be on my way. And by the way, Dormammu and the dark dimension as a whole won't be a problem to your world anymore. Good luck and see you soon, ciao." Leaving them dumbstruckat my casualness, I make a portal to my house only to see the Ancient One watching Netflix, odd.

"What show are you watching?" She turns to me with a grin and says, "It's called 'Lucifer' actually, thought it would be ironic to be seen watching it when you got back. It's a good show though so I'm binging it, hope you don't mind." Shaking my head with a smile, an idea comes to mind. "Of course not, great show really. Hmm...well, I'm going on a vacation until the whole Ragnarok thing comes up. If you would like some company at any point, say "Edward is an idiot" and you'll appear in my inner world where my wives are relaxing. Ciao for now, hehe." Giving me a nod, she says it and disappears, faster than I thought. 'Probably wants some info on me, hmm...I should let the girls know that I'm going to a bit.'

*SNAP* Appearing in my inner world, I see Rose, Nat, Kate, and now the Ancient One all sitting in beach chairs chatting away. 'This can't be good.' Walking over to Nat and Rose, I give them each a kiss and say, "I'll be going on a little vacation until the time of Ragnarok to fulfill two promises. I got an idea before on a nice place so it shouldn't take me more than a few days to a week." Kate is obviously wanting to ask where I'm going so I give her a nod so she can ask. "Where are you going specifically?" Giving a chuckle I say, "Remember the show 'Lucifer'? I'll be going there as I have a deal for him. Should be hilarious as well to introduce myself to well, myself, hehe." They start shaking their heads with smiles at that comment. Continuing I say, "He truly isn't a bad person, only not as free as he wants to be with his brothers trying to get him back in hell all the time. So, I'll offer him freedom at a small cost as well as a gift, hehe." Nat and Rose both get up and hug me as Nat says, "Try not to bring home another woman please, Kate won't stop asking questions, hehe." Looking to Kate, she has a smirk and now I know what her plan is. 'Cheeky minx, the bill comes due, hehe.' Backing up and taking out Yamato, I make a rift and say, "Ciao, I'll bring back some gifts for you guys as well." They nod and I step through.

Appearing in the Lux nightclub, no one is here at the moment but I sense Mazikeen and Lucifer almost here. Seeing a piano, I sit down and start playing Sadness and Sorrow, honestly it's my favorite piece to play on piano. Midway through, Maze and Lucifer enter and are on guard but they are enchanted by the song, guess Naruto isn't in this world or maybe they haven't seen it, bummer. "Hello there." I say as Lucifer walks over to me and is about to speak but I can sense Maze taking out her daggers so I say, "Relax Mazikeen, I mean you both no harm and I'm not here to get Lucifer to go back to hell. If I wanted to do that, all it takes is a snap of my fingers." Finishing the song, Lucifer is right next to me with his hand out so I shake it and he says, "A pleasure to meet you, I'm Lucifer Morningstar, and who might you be?" Letting go of the handshake, I say, "Call me Ryan for now, you don't need my real name at this moment but you will know it soon enough. The less I reveal the better, no?" Nodding but still unsure, I see Maze hasn't put her daggers away. *Snap* "Amazing quality and design. I told you to relax, so relax and have a drink." *Snap* making them appear in her hands once again, she looks shocked, but turning to Lucifer, he looks amazed and he asks, "If you can't tell me who you are, what are you?"

Walking over to the bar and pouring a glass of whisky, I take a sip and say, "I am both an Archangel and a God. Would you like to guess my name? It's a doozy really." Maze has a sneer on her face and says, "Is your name Asshole? Seems to fit." Her face turns into a smirk so I grin back and say, "Close but no. Keep on being snappy and you'll spend a billion years alone in another dimension with no time dilation. You won't recognize the world when you return, if it's still here, hehe." She instantly goes wide eyed and looks a bit pale so Lucifer says, "Sorry about Maze, she can be very stubborn and it's hard to gain her trust." Nodding I say, "I'll try my best, but I'd like you to earn my trust as well. I'll only be in this world for a few days to a week depending on how things play out."

After they relax a bit I say, "So, I have a deal for you Lucifer." His eyes widen and he says, "What was that? I'm the only one who makes deals, I'm the devil." As he stands up to look intimidating, I stand and meet his gaze. Sighing a bit I say, "Well, might as well introduce myself properly then as you will find out anyways, ruins the fun though. My name is Lucifer Morningstar, son of One Above All, Archangel and God second only to my father in power. It's a pleasure to meet you both, hehe." Their eyes widen and Lucifer asks, "Why are you here? It can't be only for a deal right?" Chuckling I say, "Correct, I need to bring back some gifts for my wives actually. hehe. But mainly, yes, it's my deal for you that brought me here. See, in almost every world the movies, books, and shows that people read and watch are true stories that other gods planted inside someone's head. In my old world, this world is a show that I've watched, and no, I won't tell your what happens in the future. That would be no fun, hehe"

Giving them some time to process that information, I make another drink. "So, want to hear my deal?" Lucifer paces back and forth for a minute and says, "Sure, I'll hear it but I won't accept without some answers to my questions." Nodding I say, "Perfectly acceptable, and if need be, I can make a deal with Mazikeen as well. So, my deal is this, accept my blood and become my brother. In doing so, you will be far more powerful than your father. But, you will need to protect this world for a very long time as well as come to my aid should I need it. And no, you won't need to be in heaven for that. You can stay right here if you want, the only requirement is that you keep doing your job from hell. That is to punish the wicked to save the innocent. I myself killed a few million people on my old world as some unacceptable actions were done to one of my family members. So, Deal?" Giving him a grin, he starts to think on it.

Lucifer then asks, "First question, why me?" Setting my drink down I say, "The first reason is that you never felt true freedom, and I know that is what you crave. Even if there's a requirement to come to my aid, that's merely a request and not entirely an order. You were cast out and forced to do a job that you didn't want to keep doing. Now, your brothers are hounding you to return. By becoming my brother, you can do that job remotely from here with no issues." He starts nodding and then asks, "Will I get my wings back? You are and Archangel so that would mean I can be one again as well right?" Chuckling a bit I say, "Yes. In fact, I can turn Mazikeen into an angel as well if she wanted." Maze looks utterly shook now, hehe. Lucifer then asks, "Will I still have the powers I do now?" Nodding I confirm, "Yes, as well as so much more. The only down side is, should you go down a dark path and abuse the power that I'm willing to give you, I will personally send you to my own hell and find a replacement." He starts nodding and says, "Can you give me a day to think?" Walking up to him and shaking his hand I whisper, "I can also remove that pesky business of being mortal when you're near Chloe. I can see you love her and that's why you become mortal. I'll make her an angel as well as long as you both confess your love. It's painful watching you two argue like tsundere's to each other, hehe. Think on it, that will be my gift to you free of charge as well should you accept."

Leaving Lucifer dumbstruck, I pull out Yamato and make a rift to Chloe's place, weird I know but eh, I'd like to meet her. Knocking on the door, I hear someone say, "Coming!" My brain instantly thinks, 'That's what she said, ha!' Opening the door is Chloe, quite beautiful as well. "Hello, my name is Ryan. I'd like to ask you a few questions about Lucifer, if you don't mind taking a few minutes out of your day." Giving her a charming smile, she unconsciously smiles back and hesitates for a moment. "Only a few questions, nothing more, nothing less. Promise." Finally nodding she says, "Don't try anything funny, I'm a detective." Chuckling I say, "Yes, I know. Lucifer speaks highly of you." Sitting down at the table she asks, "How do you know Lucifer?" Taking a dramatic pause, I say, "He's my brother actually. He calls himself the devil, so if he's the devil than I'm an angel, hehe." She smiles at that and asks, "So what do you want to know?"

Giving it some thought I say, "Do you know why he seems so happy these days? He was always a bit angry looking and he's had a troubled past. But now, he seems more docile than I knew him to be." I see her clearly thinking of some times that actually made her happy to be around him. "Oh? Could it be that he's happy to be spending time with you? You are working on some cases together right?" Her smile fades a bit but doesn't turn to a frown and she says, "Yes, he has been working on some cases with me. As far as me being his happiness? I'm not so sure about that. You'll have to ask him yourself." Nodding with a smile I say, "Yes, although I've tried already but he clams up about you so you're the only variable that I can think of for his happiness. Putting that aside, who's the little munchkin sneaking up behind me?" Chloe's eyes go wide but I say, "My hearing is above normal so I heard her feet, haha." She takes a sigh of relief and says, "Trixie, come here and say hello please."

Walking up to me is a little girl who politely and energetically introduces herself. "Hello, my name is Beatrice but everybody calls me Trixie." Smiling at her I say, "My name is Ryan, just Ryan for now. It's nice to meet you Beatrice." She doesn't lose her smile and takes a seat next to Chloe. "Beatrice, would you like to see some magic?" Nodding her head rapidly, I say, "When I snap my fingers, you check your pocket alright?" Nodding once more I *snap* and she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a wad of cash. "Think of it as birthday money for all the years that I haven't known you. I'd recommend letting your mother hold onto it, hehe." Chloe goes wide eyed and asks, "How did you do that? She is across the table." All I do is smile and give another *snap* and say, "Check your pocket now." She does so and pulls out a beautiful necklace. I then say, "Pure gold with a pure diamond as well. It's worth more than you make in ten years at least, hehe. Think of it as a thank you for looking after my brother, even if he can be hard headed sometimes, thank you." Chloe is in a trance until there's a knock at the door. Chloe breaks from her stupor and says, "I'll get it." Obviously, right?

Looking to Beatrice I ask, "So, what do you love most in the world?" She smiles and says, "I love space and aliens." Smiling again I say, "Well, did you know that your name means "she who brings happiness; Blessed"? Shaking her head as a no, I then say, "As a token of our new found friendship, I'll make you a necklace as well and bless it myself. Since Lucifer claims to be the devil, think of me as your guardian angel alright?" She starts rapidly nodding again and I reach my hand into my coat pocket like I'm grabbing something. Physically pulling out a chunk of space isn't difficult for me so I take one the size of my thumb and place it in an orb and then craft another pure golden necklace. I place a locator enchantment as well as a regeneration and shield enchantment on it. Pulling it out of my pocket, she looks super excited so I walk around the table and clasp it around her neck. "There, your own personal piece of space. If you'll believe me, it's literally a piece of space, hehe." Nodding slowly as she gets lost looking at it, she says, "I believe you. Thanks Ryan." She then gets up and gives me a hug, and that's when Chloe comes back but with Lucifer.

Chloe is the first to speak, "Well, nice to see you two getting along. Unlike somebody." Giving a glare to Lucifer, Beatrice and I both chuckle as we break the hug. I then say, "Yes, she's quite the energetic ball of fun. Also, I hope you don't mind but I gave Beatrice a gift as well." Lucifer looks confused and asks, "What gift?" Chloe smiles and puts on the necklace making Lucifer stare. I chuckle again and say, "It's not nice to stare Lucifer. I gave both of them a gift and I hope you like them." Beatrice takes my hand and pulls me towards Chloe and Lucifer and says, "Look mom, it's my own piece of space. Ryan made it himself just a few minutes ago." Lucifer looks as if and he can tell that it's real so he looks to me with a puzzled expression and asks, "That's real space isn't it? How?" Sighing I say, "Come now Lucifer, you should know what I can do by now. Shall I reveal myself completely so you can feel how powerful I am?" He is tempted to say yes but decided otherwise in front of Chloe and Beatrice and Chloe looks confused. Lucifer says, "Another time maybe, but for now I'd like to talk to Chloe alone if possible." Turning to Beatrice I say, "Want to see some stars?" She nods and pulls me to her room to show me her drawings of aliens and space.

While Lucifer and Chloe are chatting, I'm currently in Beatrice's room as she excitedly shows me all of her drawings. I then say, "Want to see some real stars?" Nodding rapidly again, I say, "Alright, but on one condition. Your mom can't know we went to space alright?" Nodding again, I hold out my hand for her to grab and she does. "Don't freak out or anything alright? We'll be fine in space as I control everything." She looks confused but I pull out Yamato and make a rift into space just outside the atmosphere of earth and we walk into it. Beatrice did need some convincing so I promised her that if she liked the trip, that we'd do it again soon. Stepping through, Beatrice is awed by the sight of earth from where we are but I say, "Now, want to see something even better?" She nods again and I make another rift and we step through. "Here we are, Mars. Every astronauts dream is to one day colonize this planet, although none have succeeded, yet." She is once again awed and says, "I want to be the first president of Mars. One day, I'll make it happen." Chuckling I say, "Want some earrings made from here as well?" She starts nodding again so I make them for her.

Making a rift back to her room, we step through and she asks, "How did we breathe there?" I reply, "If I said magic again, would you believe me?" Shaking her head as a no she says, "No, not this time. We were on a different planet to magic isn't an excuse." Chuckling I say, "So smart already, you'll make a fine president of Mars." She starts giggling at that with a bright smile. "Well, if magic won't work, I'll let you in on a secret that also applies to the no telling mom rule. I'm an Archangel as well as a God. More believable?" Nodding again she asks, "If you're an angel, can I see your wings?" Chuckling a bit, I unfurl my wings although I have to keep them a bit folded due to the small room but the desired effect happens. Beatrice walks to me and touches my feathers and says, "Beautiful. Um...can I have a feather to remember you?" Patting her on the head I say, "Of course, I'll even enchant it to return to you if you may lose it at some point." Pulling out a feather, I make the returning enchantment as well as a danger sensing enchantment so I can help her should she be in danger, and bind it to Beatrice and hand her the feather. She smiles brightly again and says, "Thanks Ryan. Best day ever!" Chuckling at her antics, we go to the living room to find Lucifer is gone and Chloe is sitting with her head in her hands and I say, "What did that idiot do now?"

(A/N: 3.2k words as I just kept on going lol. I was thinking of a nice vacation for our Lucifer and someone had a comment about coming here so I thought, why not? As anyone who has seen the show knows, if and when Lucifer does accept our Lucifer's deal, events of the later seasons wont happen so I'm not getting into all of that. This is more of helping someone in need while also having some fun and meeting new people, like Beatrice. I'll try to end this like halfway through the next chapter and prepare for Thor: Ragnarok so we can get into the Hela parts. After that will be Thanos and then onto DC. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter and see you soon.)
