The devil

A/N: back updates still might be irregular rn but I wanted to get a chapter out ! Thank you for your patience

-Clark Kent's pov -

"Who are you," I asked my breath ragged for the first time in a while, my heart felt like it was beating faster than ever

"The devil," was the man's response, his accent was posh and it felt like he saw me as nothing more than a funny little man

I felt little, small even. I have never felt this way before, I truly felt powerless. I was doing everything in my power to try and resist but his hold on me was ironclad.

"Yes, as in Lucifer Morningstar exciting isn't it?" he continued as I didn't reply

The devil wasn't real, he couldn't be real that was just insane. But, this man this creature, he was definitely something I would consider a demon.

Suddenly he let go of me, I tried to rush him but I found myself locked in place as I watched him pour himself yet another drink.

"Just tell me, everything would be much simpler if you would just tell me," the ice cubes in his drink clanked around in the silence after his words

My mouth felt dry, truly and utterly dry.

Should I betray the trust of the comrades I fought with?

But Azreal really isn't a comrade in arms, he did attack me once.

But he did save the world.

"Fine don't talk, this will be much more fun," his smirk sent chills down my spine

"Azreal," I spoke

"I see," suddenly he was gone and I could move once more

My body collapsed on the ground.

"Pahh,"

"Pahh,"

"Pahh,"

The sound of my panting was the only noise in the dark silence of my room.

The dark shameful silence.

Shame yes shame, I felt it seeping into my body, my mind in every direction. I was truly ashamed of my actions, at what I did.

Out of fear, I sold out someone who I fought alongside.

He might truly be the devil.

-Lucifer's pov-

Annoyed. Thoroughly annoyed is the feeling that was the most prominent I currently hold. Annoyed at this person Azreal.

When someone brought my father's wrath to earth I was alarmed and instantly wanted to know who and how they did it. I knew it wasn't dear old dad, he would never step in during such a small situation.

The energy from my father's wrath created an effect on all who were nearby, I couldn't read the memories of the people during that period. I would just see a golden glow. And to top that all off, this Azreals body must have combined with some of the energy, I don't know how.

But he is now a blank spot.

I don't have blank spots.

I shouldn't have blank spots.

At least I know who it was and this Azreal character is known to be in starling city most of the time.

-Lucas's pov -

After Dembe and I arrived back home I relaxed for a bit and then went out in my Azreal suit, I wanted to make some appearances around the city. With my steadfast incline in my political campaign duties, I've had to delegate my time more but, I can't have Azreal disappearing when I get busier most people won't pick up the connection but, those with high intellect and problem-solving skills might be able to figure something out.

Bruce, I'm thinking of Bruce.

As I watched the city below perched upon a rooftop like a bat in the night, I felt the air change around me.

Behind me to be exact, when one has super senses to my degree it's almost like you have three hundred and sixty degrees vision.

I spun around, it felt like whoever it was just teleported behind me.

Instantly I froze upon seeing who was in front of me, I didn't know how to react.

It was that guy who played Lucifer in that tv show.

"Oh? You know me," he sounded pleased

I knew I couldn't win especially if this was his comic book-powered version, I tried to move and I couldn't.

I tried to change into mist but I couldn't.

It was like I was frozen, no that's not right as I moved my eyes around I could tell I wasn't the only one frozen.

Time was frozen.

*clak*

*clak*

*clak*

The sound of him getting closer and closed was the only thing I could hear, it was weird and uncomfortable.

"Let's see who is the true azreal," his smirk made my blood boil

He grabbed my mask and gently took it off revealing my face, "that's not you," he smirked and suddenly I felt my face change back to normal

There goes my added security.

"Oh~ look at what we have here the infamous Lucas Queen who would have guessed you being the big bad Azreal," he was amused

Suddenly I felt my face relax and I could move my lips, "what do you want Lucifer," I bit out

"Curious, I could tell you knew who I was from the begging but, but I'm sure I've never met you. Much less met anyone you could have asked about me," He said with a curious glint in his eyes

I smirked, "what did I do to your Lucifer,"

He brushed off the fact I ignored his question, "you somehow brought my father's wrath to earth how is that possible?" he asked

"Libriomancy," I answered shortly no use pissing this guy off more

"Libriomancy," he said the word slowly as if he was digesting the word

His eyes suddenly started to glow brightly with recognization, "yes Libriomancy I remember meeting the first user of that magic, an interesting fellow more interesting magic very interesting magic,"

"If you knew of it shouldn't you have known that reading from the Bible is possible?" Lucas asked curiously

"I knew but, the effect you achieved should only be able to happen from reading the original Bible. I own it so I crossed it out of my list of possibilities," he answered with a shrug and suddenly I was set free but time was still stopped

I stretched my limbs and looked at him curiously, "what now?" I asked

"Well now that I know how you did it, I just need to figure out how you had so much power to call the actual wrath of my father," he said looking at me curiously

"But first, you seem like an interesting person. disguise your face we will party then investigate!"

What?
