Chapter Text
"Just breathe."
Lucifer shakes his head.
"I don't need to breathe sis archangel remember?"
"But you are freaking out." Anael replied.
"Am not!"
"You just checked your watch three times now."
Lucifer lowers his wrist and stops himself from looking at the time again.
"They should be here now."
Anael shrugs.
"Traffic?"
That got a scoff from her older brother.
"My son has wings he can fly here." He runs his fingers through his hair and sighs. "Maybe he is having doubts."
"I'm sure..."
"Maybe he has changed his mind." Lucifer continued. "I'll admit I was surprised when you told me Jack wanted to talk to me I thought you were joking no way Jack would want to talk to me after everything that's happened after I..."
"Lucifer." Anael cuts him off. "You are freaking out. Stop it."
"It could be a trap?" Lucifer leans back in his seat. His eyes widen. "It actually could be a trap."
"It is not a trap."
"How do you know? They wouldn't tell you."
Anael's face twitched with irritation. She then gets her phone out.
"I'll call them." As she goes to press the button the infamous Impala suddenly arrives. Anael shoves the phone back in her pocket and smiles. "Talk of the Devil."
Lucifer rolls his eyes at her.
Moments later another car arrives. The car parks next to the Impala. The door to that car opens.
Mary steps out. She slams the door shut and walks towards the two angelic beings.
"Blondie." Lucifer raises his eyebrow. "Fancy seeing you here."
"Hi." Anael greets the hunteress.
Mary nods at her before turning her attention to Lucifer.
"I'm here for Jack." She points her finger at the archangel. "If you hurt him, upset him if you so much lay a finger on him."
"Hold up!" Lucifer raises his hands. "You are threatening me? After everything we have been through? Seriously? I mean what are you gonna do to me exactly?"
"Send your ass straight back to Hell." Dean answered as he joined them. "Or worse..."
"The Empty." Sam finished the sentence.
Lucifer groans as all three Winchesters circle around him.
"We got our eye on you." Dean warned him.
"I just wanna talk to my kid." Lucifer sighed.
"Okay you made your point." Anael glared at the hunters. "Lucifer promised he will be on his best behavior don't worry."
"I don't like this." Sam muttered to himself.
"But it is not your decision Sam." Anael replied. "It is Jack's and Jack chose to meet up with his Father so you must respect his decision."
"Well we are here for him." Dean nods. "That's what family does." Dean spat out the word to Lucifer's face.
Lucifer opens and closes his mouth as the three hunters take a seat across the park. They kept their eyes on the archangel at all times. Lucifer sighs and runs a hand down his face.
"Just need Castiel now to come and be a pain in the ass."
Jack couldn't help but groan when he saw the Winchesters glaring daggers at his father.
"Castiel." Jack raises his eyebrow. "Was this necessary?"
Castiel parks the car and nods to the nephilim.
"Hopefully Lucifer will behave but...well we feel taking extra precautions is needed. Anything could go wrong and we don't want to see you hurt again. I am still very annoyed that you spoke to Michael behind my back."
"That wasn't planned." Jack defended himself. "He just turned up and he didn't hurt me Castiel I was fine and I'm sure I will be fine now."
Castiel shakes his head.
"I only just got you back." He turns and looks at the steering wheel. "I can't lose you again."
Jack places his hand on the angel's shoulder and gives him a comforting squeeze.
"I'm not going anywhere Castiel."
Cas sighs.
Jack opens the car door and steps out. He waves at the Winchesters before going over to the table where his father and the angel Jo are sat.
"Jack." She greeted him with a smile.
"Hello Jo." Being polite Jack extends his hand and shakes her hand. "You look...You look lovely today."
Jo beamed at him.
"Why thank you Jack."
Jack smiles at her. He then turns his attention to the archangel. Lucifer quickly stood up nearly knocking the chair over in the process. He brushes himself down and clears his throat.
"Uh...Hey um...son...Jack." He quickly corrected himself at the end remembering how angry Jack used to get when Lucifer referred him as his son.
"Lucifer." Jack responded. He sounded awkward. His eyes are on the floor.
Lucifer can feel Castiel's eyes on him. The angel stood with the others all of them waiting to strike if necessary. The archangel ignored them and kept his full focus on the nephilim.
"I'll be over there if you need me." Jo nodded.
She goes off and sits on another bench.
"Um would you like some ice cream or a drink are you thirsty?" Lucifer asks.
"I'm fine thank you." Jack remained polite but Lucifer can see the kid is wary and nervous just like him.
"Nice weather today."
Lucifer mentally shakes his head. Why did he start a conversation about the weather? Like who cares about the damn weather? Lucifer didn't care about the weather.
"It is sunny and warm." Jack said with a nod. "I like that. Much better than the cold. It was always cold in the other world."
"Yeah well that world was a dump."
Lucifer thought he said the wrong thing but the nephilim actually agreed with him.
"Yes but it was also sad, damaged...so much death so many painful memories."
There was a haunted look in Jack's eyes. A look Lucifer knew too well. A look he has seen in his brothers after the countless Wars they have been through. They were all exposed to so much horror the War against the Darkness scarred the angelic beings for a long time. Lucifer can still remember the poison seeping from Michael's wound after the Darkness attacked him.
"It sucks you had to go through all that. " Lucifer replied awkwardly.
"It wasn't all bad." Jack mustered a small smile. "At least those people have a home here now."
"Uh yeah..."
"You obviously do not care about that." Jack said coldly.
"What? No buddy uh..."
Jack raises his eyebrow. Lucifer blows out a big sigh.
it has been such a long time since I cared. He thought.
"Jack. "
Lucifer looks over at the others. Jack also glanced over his shoulder.
"It is hard to talk with them all staring at us." Jack says.
Lucifer agreed with the kid. He felt like is walking on egg shells fearing he will say the wrong thing and he will never get to see Jack again.
"We could leave." Jack suggested.
Lucifer's eyes widen.
"Uh I don't think that's a good idea."
"This is my choice." Jack nods. "I wanted to see you so it should be me that makes the decisions around here. I wish to speak to you alone."
"Easy for you to say." Lucifer scoffed. "It will be me that gets the blame as usual."
Jack steps forward. He curls his hand around Lucifer's arm.
"Jack!" Castiel calls out.
Jack turns his head towards him.
"I need to do this alone. I will be back I promise."
The Winchesters start to run towards the father and son.
One minute Lucifer found himself in the park the next minute he found himself standing in a forest. Jack is sat on a log. He swings his legs and frowns as the archangel looks around.
"What are you doing?"
"Looking for traps." Lucifer narrowed his eyes. "Waiting for ambush."
"You believe this a trap?"
"I have thought about it."
"Yet you came anyway."
"Well you didn't really give me a choice." Lucifer pointed out. "This wouldn't be the first time you lured me into a trap."
Jack's face fell at that.
Lucifer cursed to himself.
"Sorry uh..."
Lucifer can already imagine Linda scowling at him now. So far he is doing a terrible job at this.
"I deserved that." Jack nods. "What I did playing with emotions that was wrong."
"It was fortunate I already knew you were lying before I arrived. I knew you didn't love me you already made that quite clear in the past even before you lost your soul. Right Jack? You called me a monster said...said I wasn't your father."
Lucifer didn't apologize this time. He needed to say this he needed to make his feelings clear. He wanted the nephilim to know how he truly felt. Lucifer knew he didn't deserve forgiveness but he wanted Jack to know he was hurt and that everything Jack has said to him upset him greatly.
Jack stands up. His face is blank.
"I remember that. I do also remember you lying to me about Maggie and you said you only wanted me for my power. That was the start to all this. The reason why Dean said yes." Jack didn't raise his voice or show any anger that surprised Lucifer. "I died I was brought back through soul magic." Jack continued "I burned my soul to kill Michael and..." Jack's face tightens. "Well you know the rest. Everything went from bad to worse."
"So it is my fault?"
"All of us." Jack again nods. "We all made mistakes that put the world at risk. We let our anger cloud our judgment."
"You are starting to sound like Linda."
I should be screaming at you now, blaming you for making me the monster. I should be beating you down until there is nothing left but I won't...sure you started this off but I made those choices I chose to hurt you, Castiel, Mary, Sam, Dean I nearly killed everyone you tried to stop me and I wouldn't listen because I was angry with you all I felt was rage. "
"Michael."
"Michael's grace but my feelings were there underneath it all." Jack's eyes widen. "It is not healthy the anger it causes pain and suffering I am tired of it I want to put a stop to it before anyone else gets hurt."
"So where you going with this?"
"I want to put this all behind us." Jack answered. "I want to move on."
"You...You forgive me?" Lucifer asked sounding hopeful.
"No." Lucifer's face fell at that. "Not yet anyway. Now...Now I want to clear the air." Jack sits back down. "I'm listening Lucifer. I'm listening to you now. Tell me your side of the story."
Lucifer sits on the other log. His hands are clasped on his lap.
"Okay...Okay well umm...You are right about the anger. My anger led me to do things that I now regret. I wasn't thinking straight then I lashed out. Those words you said to me it hurt me. I generally believed we could have been something you and me. I did want to explore the world with you I did want to take you to see the stars I even wanted to create that wookie for you. I wanted to believe that I could be a better Dad than Him. When you said those words I thought you are just like them, you turned on me, rejected me, made me the bad guy that's why I did what I did that's why I was angry that's why I took your grace I thought power could fill a hole but I was wrong it took the Empty to make me realize that. I also realize now I wasn't just angry at you I was angry at myself it was me that pushed you away how I am... " He gestures to himself. "What I did to Maggie when I said that I liked what I did no wonder you hated me if I was in your position I think I would have hated me as well. You didn't want to be around someone like me someone who has these sick thoughts, fantasies, someone who enjoys inflicting pain on to others. It is not normal."
Lucifer takes a deep breath.
"I should have approached the situation better that day I should have been honest and told you that's who I am that's what the Mark made me into. Since then since the Fall that darkness has always been in me. I tried to be better for you I tried but..." He laughs. "As they say old habits never die. That side that disgusts you Jack that will always be there it is never going away. If this moving on thing is gonna work then you need to accept the fact that this is me this is your Dad and you will have to accept all of me whether you like it or not. I'm sorry I'm not perfect I'm sorry I'm not like Castiel or your human friends but I'm not gonna be someone I'm not I am gonna be me. However I am not going to nuke the world I am leaving everything in one piece. My place is in Hell. In Hell I can embrace that part of me. At least the demons won't judge me. "
At least you wouldn't be there to see it.
"But Jack let me tell you one thing. I'm not evil just because I done bad things doesn't mean I am evil. If I was evil would I have regrets? Would I even have feelings? Would I care about you? "
Care
It has been a long since I cared.
When Jack didn't reply. Lucifer shakes his head.
And I just scared him off.
"And I take that as no. This talk was a waste of time. Okay. " He slaps his knees and stands up. "I'll just umm go I'll stay out of your life you won't see me ever again. I...yeah." He clears his throat. Good luck with everything. "
"Don't leave." Jack says. Lucifer paused. Jack looks up at him. "I understand. The darkness we all have it not just you. We all have...Darth Vader in us." Lucifer frowns. "Michael told me you both watched Star Wars."
Lucifer laughs.
"Michael actually brought that up?"
"He did and it was quite an interesting conversation. When I was soulless I did enjoy the power I had I enjoyed the control I had over Michael's armies I enjoyed hurting you and Michael. I did generally wanted to rip you apart."
"That's nice to know."
"The thing is I enjoyed it. Michael enjoyed hurting people as well. I'm aware Sam, Dean and Castiel have done messed up things as well that involved hurting others. I can't tell you it's wrong when I have done the exact same thing I can't use that as a excuse to hate you when I am friends with others. Me and Michael are on talking terms now. If I did use it as a excuse it would make me a hypocrite. You are right Lucifer you are not evil you were lost in the darkness you felt angry for so long then I came along and that light in you came back. Just like Darth Vader did. Luke gave him hope I gave you hope. Vader did the right thing at the end he saved Luke from the Emperor." Jack smiled. "You saved me."
Lucifer smiles a little.
"That I did. "
"I will be honest I don't like that part of you and I never will but I will not fight you on it I don't expect you to get rid of it. It is part of you, my darkness is part of me but we learn to manage it. We balance it out. "
"Like Star Wars bringing balance to the Force?" Lucifer tried to joke.
Jack grins and nods.
"Like that.
"So you accept it...accept me?"
"Yes."
Lucifer's smile widens.
"Also." Jack continued. "I don't hate you...but I don't love you either. You will have to earn that."
"So that means..."
Jack again nods.
"I wish to stay in contact get to know you better this time. I also want to make sure we maintain the balance. I lost too many people I don't want to lose you too. After all you are my father we are family I don't want either of us to destroy that okay? "
"Okay." Lucifer replied quietly.
Lucifer felt a small tear rolling down his cheek. His stomach fluttered with joy and happiness. His son didn't forgive him and Lucifer understood his reasons and accepted that but Jack is willing to give him another chance. Jack has even hinted that maybe one day a bond will form between them and maybe Jack will learn to love his father again.
One step at a time. He thought.
"Thank you." Lucifer said his voice cracked with emotion.
Jack stands up and walks towards his father. He then extends his hand out. Lucifer grasps his son's hand tight and shakes it. They won't at the hugging stage yet but that is okay Lucifer is already happy with the progress they made today.
Not thinking Lucifer places his other hand on his son's shoulder. Jack didn't pull away from him. Instead Jack smiled. Lucifer returned the smile. His eyes shone with love. Love he felt towards his son.
Things are finally starting to look up.
Heaven was saved. They found a solution.
Jack went to see Linda. He had some solo sessions with her before he decided he wanted to join the family sessions. The Winchesters and Castiel never fully accepted Jack's decision to make amends with Lucifer but Jack understood their reasons and he didn't argue with them on it however he wanted them to know that this is his life and this is his choice. He didn't want to hold any grudges instead Jack wanted peace and harmony.
"It will be good for all of us." Jack told the Winchesters and Castiel. "It is time we put an end to all this suffering. We need to move on."
It will take time but Jack hoped one of these days his family will learn to let go of the past and move on with their lives.
Jack also had several other things to sort out. For starters Castiel's deal with the Empty.
Donatello looked like he wanted to do a runner when Jack appeared in his room. Jack held up a gift basket and smiled apologetically at the Prophet.
"I'm sorry for how I treated you but I am me now I am okay I will not hurt you. Umm...I brought you a gift."
Donatello cautiously takes the gift basket.
"Thank you." Donatello then narrows his eyes. "Is that all?
"Well..."
"No." The Prophet shakes his head. "Not anymore I'm done with all this."
"This will be the final time. I promise ."
"No!"
"Donatello." Jack sighs. "I need to do for this Castiel. I need to save him from this deal."
"Find another way! "
"There is no other way. Donatello please." Jack begged him.
The nephilim takes a step forward. Donatello falls back in his chair. He then covers his face with his hands.
"I just want to be left alone." The Prophet moaned.
Jack felt a pang of guilt. The Prophet feared Jack is going to hurt him. The nephilim squats down in front of the Prophet so he doesn't appear intimidating.
"If you do this. " Jack said his voice soft. "You won't hear from me ever again I will leave you alone I promise."
Donatello lowers his hands. He still looked wary of the nephilim.
"No more. You swear?"
Jack nods.
"I swear."
Donatello stared at him for several moments. He then shakes his head and sighs.
"I can't believe I am agreeing to this...but fine. Sooner this is done sooner you can go and let me have some damm peace."
Jack's face lights up. A big grin forms on his face.
"Thank you."
Jack gets out the syringe. Donatello leans back and closes his eyes.
I hate my life.
The same thing happened as before. Jack waited once Donatello stopped shaking and went into a relaxed state. Moments later the Prophet's eyes fly open and the look of fury shows on his face.
"What now!" He snapped.
Jack calmly looks at him.
"Hello again."
The Shadow snarled.
"You! You will not leave me in peace! WHAT DO YOU WANT? "
"I thought you would want to know that they did it. Mary, Lucifer, Michael they saved me. I'm me again."
The Entity tilts it's head.
"Is that so?" It then grins. "Well that is excellent news I bet Castiel is delighted."
"About that...The deal is off."
The Shadow's grin turns into a frown.
"What do you mean?"
"Castiel is not going anywhere with you."
"You do remember the deal? Hmm? Castiel took your place if you tried anything to break the deal then I will go back to my original plan and take you. "
"I'm aware but I don't care. I'm not afraid of you."
"You should be." It smiles wickedly. "I can take everything away from you. I can break your mind. I can destroy the angel Castiel."
"Your threats do not scare me." Jack glared at it. "You are not the only powerful being to exist! I can make you suffer I can hurt you. "
"HA!" The Shadow laughed. "Big talk coming from a little brat." It spat out. "You are nothing compared to me."
Jack's lips form into a smirk.
"We'll see about that."
The nephilim's eyes glow gold. He places his hands on Donatello's head. He reaches out to the connection and starts to push his power into it.
The Shadow's eyes suddenly widen with horror.
"What are you doing?" It hissed.
"I've been practicing and developing my powers." Jack grinned. "I woke Castiel up. Now I am going to wake everyone else up. Imagine all those demons and angels waking up. "
"Ahh... Ahhh!"
"Imagine all that noise, all those voices. You wouldn't be able to control them all."
"Argh!"
"They will keep you awake . You will never have peace. If you did put them back to sleep I will simply wake them again and again and again."
Jack raises his eyebrow when he felt a ripple in the connection.
"Oh? Are they waking up?"
"I WILL COME UP THERE AND GRAB YOU MYSELF!" The Shadow screamed.
"You could but you wouldn't be able to control me. I will fight you every step of the way also if you get me my family will come after you. Then you will be back to where you started. "
"So...So much noise." The Shadow moaned.
"Remove this deal and I will cut the connection. You can go back to sleep and you will never hear from me again.
The Entity glares at him.
" You have a nerve boy! "
"Wrong answer."
Jack kept going. He continued to inflict pain on to the Entity. Part of Jack didn't want to do this he swore to himself that he wasn't going to tap into his dark side again but Jack had to do this he had to save Castiel from this deal. He wasn't going to lose another loved one.
Maintain the balance. He told himself. Don't lose control again.
The Shadow eventually shakes its head and screams.
"FINE! FINE THE DEAL IS OFF YOU CAN KEEP THE ANGEL HE IS ALL YOURS! NOW STOP...STOP! "
"On one condition."
The Shadow grits its teeth with anger.
"What now?"
"I want you to bring someone back."
The Shadow sighs. It now sounded more tired than angry.
"Who?"
Jack smiles.
"His name is..."
Rowena finishes the last chapter of a book she is reading. She let's out a yawn as she puts the book down on the table beside her bed. As she goes to switch off the lamp she suddenly hears a bang coming from outside.
The witch straightened up with shock. She slowly grabs her dressing gown and puts it on. She then slips on her slippers and opens the door. She steps out looks left and right.
There is no one here.
Hmm.
Then Rowena heard a voice.
"Mother?"
Rowena froze as that familiar voice hits her. She clenched her fists as she slowly turns round. Suddenly Rowena gasps with both shock and joy. Tears begin to form in her eyes.
"Fergus?"
Her son glares at her.
"It's Crowley! How many times do I have to tell you?"
The demon let out a gasp as Rowena throws her arms around him.
"Oh Fergus." The witch sobbed. "My boy...my dear dear boy! Oh I missed you!"
"Somebody has hit their head hard." Crowley muttered.
Rowena noticed the ghost of smile on her son's lips. In his own way her son is happy to see her as well.
Rowena then pulls away.
"How are you back?" She asked.
Crowley shrugs.
"This kid called Jack."
Rowena frowns.
"Jack?"
"He said he was sorry and he wanted to make up for what he did." The demon again shrugged. "He said you will understand? "
The witch smiles and nods.
"Aye. I do understand. When I see him I will thank him. Right now we shall sit down and catch up. You have missed a lot. "
"I can see that."
Crowley sits down on the sofa. Rowena goes to the cabinet.
"Bourbon?"
Her son nods. Rowena pours the drink into two glasses. She hands one glass to Crowley and sits down with the other glass.
"Let's see ah yes! "
Rowena then starts telling her story.
Three Months Later
"WOO HOO!" Lucifer pumps a fist into the air. "I WON!"
Michael throws the beach ball into the sand and glares at him.
"You cheated!"
"No." Lucifer shakes his head. "I'm just good at volleyball."
Michael tuts and shakes his head.
Anael lowers her sunglasses and sighs heavily.
"They are like kids. Big fucking kids. "
Jack laughs. It amused him that the two most powerful beings in the world are fighting over a game of volleyball.
"You haven't seen Sam and Dean." Castiel says.
The two angels and the nephilim turn their heads round.
"You cheated." Dean glares and points at his brother. "You kicked my sandcastle over! "
"Did not." Sam huffed with annoyance. When Sam looks the other way. Dean kicks one of Sam's sandcastles over. Sam turns back round and frowns. "Hey!"
"Wasn't me." Dean raises his hands. "You must have kicked it with your sasquatch foot."
Sam gave him a bitch face. Dean responds with an innocent look.
"Boys! " Mary walks down the steps with a tray of lemonade in her hands. "Knock it off."
"He started it." The Winchesters said in unison.
Mary rolls her eyes and mutters "Big kids. " As she puts the tray down. "Boys." She waves her sons over. "Come and have a drink."
Sam and Dean come over and take a drink. They both sit down and have a drink.
"Hey." A man stops in front of Anael. "Enjoying the sun?" He asked.
"I am thank you." Anael said with a polite smile.
" I'm Darcy. "
"Like Bridget Jones?"
"Pride and Prejudice. " Darcy grinned. "My mom's favorite book."
"Ah." Anael points at herself. "I'm Jo."
"Jo." He gives her a flirtatious look. "Beautiful name for a beautiful woman."
Anael grins.
"Hey hey what's going on here." Lucifer joins them. He points at the new arrival. "Who's this?"
"Darcy." Anael nods. "Darcy this is..."
"Luke." Lucifer grins. "I'm her brother."
Darcy looked surprised.
"Brother huh? "
"This is Cas my other brother."
Castiel awkwardly nods.
"And that's Michael." Anael points. "The big bro."
Darcy frowns as he looks at Michael.
"He's adopted." Lucifer says.
"That explains it." Darcy replied.
"That's my son Jack." Lucifer beamed at the nephilim.
"My nephew." Anael smiled.
Jack raises his hand and waves.
"Hello."
Darcy waves back.
"Hi." Darcy then looks round at the angelic beings. "So what do you guys do for a living?"
"We used to serve in the army." Lucifer replied.
Darcy's eyes widen.
"Really?"
"That's right." Michael appears at Darcy's other side. "We fought in many wars."
"Indeed." Lucifer nodded.
"We were very good at our job." Michael smirked. "The best actually."
"We know some moves." Lucifer also smirked. "We know how to deal with our enemies."
"That we do." Michael agreed.
"Right." Darcy laughed nervously. "You know it is actually getting quite hot I think I'm gonna go and get a drink."
"No need." Lucifer raises an lemonade. "On the house."
He puts the drink in the young man's hand.
"Sit sit." Michael sits Darcy down. "We have so many stories to share."
"Our greatest hits." Lucifer claps his hands. "Right brother?"
Lucifer jabs Castiel in the arm. Castiel glares at him.
Darcy's smile is forced now. The two archangels sit down and begin sharing their stories.
Jack watched as Lucifer made some punching gestures. At one point Darcy backs away as Lucifer pretends to swing at him. The young man started to look frightened. Anael huffs an annoyed sigh.
"I am never gonna get someone with these two scaring them off all the time."
Jack looks at her.
"You will." He assured her. "You will find someone."
Anael gives her nephew an genuine smile.
"I hope you are right."
"You just have to believe." Jack nodded.
"Say Jack." Lucifer waves. "Lets show Darcy our volleyball skills come on!" He grabs the beach ball. "Me and Jack. Darcy and Michael. Sound good?"
"You better hope we win Darcy." Michael said with a stern voice.
Darcy nervously plays with his hands as he stands up.
"I'll try my best."
"Show them what you are made of." Anael calls out with a grin.
Darcy reluctantly goes off with the archangels. Jack looks over at the Winchesters. They are still arguing about the sandcastle. Mary sat between her sons with her head in her hands. Jack smiled at the family. It is nice to see them arguing over simple things and doing normal mundane tasks. All their usual worries have melted away. It is the first time in a while Jack has seen his family truly relax.
"Jack!" Lucifer yelled. "You coming?"
Castiel glances at the nephilim. Jack nods at the angel.
"I'm fine." Jack waves at the archangel. "I'm coming."
Jack stands up and joins the others.
"Wanna go first buddy?" Lucifer asks.
Jack nods.
"Sure...Father."
Lucifer looks down at his son. His eyes are widen with shock.
Did he just...?
Lucifer thought he was hearing things.
"Father." Jack raises his hands. "The ball?"
He did say it!
Lucifer's smile breaks out into a big, loving grin. He puts the ball in Jack's hands.
"Here you go son."
Jack beamed as he took the ball.
Lucifer ruffled his son's hair.
"Now go and kick their ass."
Jack laughs a little and faces the opposition.
"I'll try...Heads up!"
Jack sends the ball over. Darcy yelps and jumps away from the ball.
Lucifer bursts out laughing while Anael scoffs.
Michael glares at Darcy. Darcy's trembling form picks up the ball.
"Just warming up." He says.
"Do not fail me a second time." Michael warned.
Darcy nods.
"I won't" He squeaked.
Michael turns towards Jack. Jack can see the teasing look in his alternative uncle's eyes.
They carried on playing. Eventually the Winchester brothers join in. At that time Darcy has managed to run off. The archangels secretly fist pump each other in victory.
"You can do better than him Jo." Lucifer nods to his sister.
Anael rolls her eyes.
Eventually everyone gets together to watch the sunset.
As they watched the sun going down Jack turns and looks up at his father.
"Thank you."
Lucifer frowns at him.
"For what?"
"For being here." Jack replied. "For making this day a good day. I loved it very much."
"And I loved spending time with you buddy."
"Same." Jack nods. "Same."
Lucifer places his hand on Jack's shoulder. Jack leans into his father's touch as they continued to watch the sun going down.
Jack looks at everyone. His friends, his family here all together with him right now. Jack always dreamed of moments like this. Now his dream has come true.
Perfect. Jack thought.
This is perfect.
The End
