Sorry for the long wait and short chapters I had gotten tied up due to college and other things going on... hopefully they are still enjoyable.

Devil's bride chapter 3: Michael

His heart was in the right place. What he was doing seemed cruel and overly harsh but in time Samael will forgive him. He will.

Who was he trying to convince? He was not sure. At he heard was the sound his heart and Samael screaming as his wings cracked.

Samael pleased Michael to stop to just listen to him. But, he no longer wished to have a traitor live among them so he did what mother asked he pushed Samael off the edge.

He watched his older brother fall faster and faster down towards the underworld below he felt a pain in his chest he was not able to identify this feeling so he pretended it didn't exist.

He did so for a millennia. He began to become harsh, and vicious towards his other siblings. Brothers and sisters only interaction is when they were in the throne room getting orders then disappearing.

After the lightbringer got banished it seemed like heaven became dim and cold it no longer felt warm and inviting.

But, then thirty seven years ago he overheard Amenadiel and father talking.He wasn't actively trying to eavesdrop he was walking past the hall when he heard a commutation.

Thirty seven years ago...in heaven..

"Bless a child why would I do that? Father in all these years you have never asked for such a thing why after all this time would you help Lucifer"!

"Do not question me Amenadiel things have a purpose and this task is something only you can do I wouldn't trust anyone else with this "

"Really father Lucifer why would you help him he betrayed us he tried to start a war!" His brother screamed out Michael was surprised by Amenadiel outburst because he never spoke out of turn before.

"No he didn't all he did was ask a question" God said trying to soothing Amenadiel down.

It seemed to work because Amenadiel expression softened. His breathing hitched and his face was torn between sadness and confusion.

" If so why did you try to destroy him"?

Then God scratched behind his ear suddenly finding the ground interesting he nervously rubbed his arms then said,

"I was angry I overreacted luckily your mother stopped me and we reached a compromise Lucifer rules over hell.

Even God makes mistakes people always ask me to solve there problems when I can't even solve my own. He didn't fall from Grace which means he has a soulmate."

Amenadiel sighed clearly at war with himself torn between serving his father and being a obedient angel, or gaining his brothers trust back.

" So, you want me to make Lucifer a girlfriend why father? Why this and why now!"

God smiled and said, "Because Lucifer has suffered enough it is time for him to come home and Chloe will be the key to his redemption I see it now and it is beautiful."

Amenadiel sighed and said, "Very well I will do it but Lucifer won't like this he won't see it as a gift he will think it is a manipulation he will not see it as a gift".

God sighed in frustration and said, "Oh I know I hear him speak to me all the time he wants a answer to end his suffering this is the first step".

Michael walked away he didn't want to hear anymore. After Lucifer fell Michael had made it his life mission to let the world know that the devil was evil a liar a manipulator.

Father is somehow showing regret after so many years of doing nothing how is this possible it seems Lucifer is like a virus the longer he lives the quicker he spreads.

Now Michael is going to end him permanently. They might be convinced Lucifer has changed but Michael will not be so easily swayed.

Now in the present .in LA 2018 AD

Michael sat at a Starbucks drinking coffee for the first time in a long time. Humans had gotten better at producing excellent cuisine but they were still scum under his boot.

He wore sunglasses and a hat advertising some motorcycle shop downtown with long hair ties in a ponytail. He had a leather jacket and light blue wash jeans ripped at the knees.

He had rings on his fingers like Lucifer but his was blue the opposite of Lucifer's red.

"Well you look terrible but what do you expect from someone like you."

That voice he hadn't heard it in centuries and yet a part of him felt a pit in his stomach. Telling him to not go through with the plan. But, he shoved it down guilt was for humans not the divine.

"Lucifer what do you want". He like Lucifer had a different accent. He had tired many accents over the years but decided he liked Russian the best.

" I know it was you that cursed me and the Detective the question is why? Oh blueberry! love these." Lucifer said as he picked up one of the muffins off of Michaels plate.

"That was mine". Michael said with deadpan he didn't actually care about the muffin but sibling rivalry is present no matter how much time passes.

Lucifer grinned and said with a mouth full of of muffin " Well it's mine now".

The next five minutes were filled with awkward silence as Michael continued his meal and.Lucifer waiting for his brothers reply.

Lucifer always the inpatient one said "This is boring come on brother! If someone is trying to kill me don't I at least get to know why"?

Michael looked at Lucifer and nodded in a passive manner mocking Lucifer's growing impatience as leaned back against the seat and tied his hands behind his head.

"My motivation is simple. To prove you aren't as powerful or in control as everyone thinks you are, You have everyone fooled into thinking you changed I have come to prove to father he was wrong".

Lucifer looked horrified at first but then he seemed to be torn between anger and confusion.

"What do you mean father was wrong"?

Michael scoffed and said, "Thirty seven years ago Amenadiel was forced into blessing a couple with a child.

His reasoning behind it being that child would grow to be your soul mate a angel with a human it is disgusting and repulsive. " Michael shivered at the thought.

Surely if Chole found out Lucifer's true nature she would flee? Most humans did when they caught the glimpse of his true face.

He could care less what happens to the human after the ritual. If Lucifer doesn't give in to the soul contract he dies. If Lucifer keeps repressing his love for Chole she dies.

So it is a win win situation here. He wouldn't have to watch over Chole anymore. Ever since Lucifer died at the hanger at Malcolm's gun Michael was in charge of keeping the human safe and as you could imagine he hates the job

"He is somehow convinced that you are capable of change and had served your punishment father wants you home".

Lucifer gasped at that torn between happiness and pure hatred. Why now? Does anything in his life mean anything if most of it was predestined.

Before Lucifer could ask more questions Michael teleported out of the Starbucks leaving Lucifer to his own thoughts.
