claire winchester, lucifer

WHO: Lucifer & Claire Winchester
WHAT: Claire is a Weeping Angel magnet. Lucifer tries to Angel proof her house, but in the good way. Not the way that would keep him out.
WHERE: The Winchester House
WHEN: December 29th; Afternoon
RATING: PG
STATUS: In Progress

Lucifer hated when his abilities were limited, whether it was by confinement in the cage or by a much more annoying situation like when someone more powerful than him was dictating things. That didn't happen often, after all. The only people more capable than he was were Michael and his Mother, and now that he had arrived her, his Uncle, and coming up against the prior two was rare, but his Uncle kept throwing obstacles in his way that Lucifer wanted to knock away only to find that he couldn't do it because of the superiority of his abilities. So Lucifer was having to find ways around them, ways to manipulate the reality that wasn't directly in contrast to his Uncle's manipulations. Putting mirrors up around Claire's home seemed to have worked, but Lucifer knew that that would only last for so long. He had to find a much more permanent solution that would keep not only Claire but her family safe. He wasn't going to have any of them get hurt just because of something that she couldn't control.

Appearing in the Winchester's living room used to be something that he was incapable of doing, with all the protections that they had up, but his arrivals outside had mostly been of consideration recently. But with the situation the way it was now and his own turn of a leaf having removed a great deal of the barriers, appearing outside had seemed like the worst idea ever. Settled on the living room couch, Lucifer frowned before casting a brief glance over his shoulder and holding out a hand to call up shutters over the windows.

"The mirrors might hold them in place, but it's probably better not to give them any easy entrances if they can get past."

Claire snorted softly when Lucifer asked about Gabi. "Let me put it this way," she said, having a pretty good idea how to put what he'd done into perspective, if only a bit. "If you had made something and someone else came along, and changed it, even a little bit, how do you think Meri would take it? And what do you think she'd do to the person who did it?" Arching a brow with a pointed expression on her face, she tacked on, "And honestly, I'm not sure that anything is going to ever convince Sam to trust you. In fact, if he does show up, I'm pretty sure he's going to end up trying to perform an exorcism on Dean for at least half of the things that he's okay with here that Sam won't get."

What? She loved Sam, she did. He was family. However, he also was pretty judgemental of others. Granted, Dean was too, but he had chilled out quite a bit in the past few years of being in Colligo. Unless the Sam that showed up was the same one who had been here with Ruby, before, Claire wasn't going to hold her breath that he would take things quite in stride as his older brother now did.

Speaking of. The sound of the Impala rumbling up the driveway echoed, muffled, through the garage door. Claire smiled at Lucifer and held up her hand, slowly counting down from five silently. By the time she'd reached one, she pointed her finger at the doorway to where the kids were playing... and sure enough, Meri came dashing out of the room at that exact same instant.

"Daddy's home!" she announced gleefully. Making a beeline for the door that led to the garage, she began excitedly hopping up and down from foot to foot, waiting for her father to finally come inside. Claire grinned and shook her head, looking back to Lucifer.

"And so it begins."

Lucifer thought about what was being said, really thought about it, and he realized that she was right. Meri would probably shoot the person, at the very least, and since Gabi probably didn't have access to a firearm yet, holy oil and a lighter would have to be the next best thing. Mentally wincing, Lucifer shifted in his seat as he made a note to do his best not to be flippant about his baby brother around that one. He loved Gabriel to death, after all, and the majority of what he did, even when it came off oddly cruel, was out of that love, but it was probably better to play it safe around the kid until she realized that.

"Sammy really needs to relax," Lucifer said, leaning back in his chair. "I mean, I know I nearly drove him out of his gourd for awhile there, but I think we really started to connect. I could be good for him and visa versa. And really, if you'd asked me to put down money on the one of the boys to eventually figure out how to live with the things they're supposed to be killing, my money wouldn't have been on Dean, so... Maybe there's hope for Sam yet if he returns?"

Lucifer liked to think that, at least. He'd hoped, before, some small twisted part of him, that he might have been able to persuade both the boys to his side eventually. Because he did like them, even as much as he'd thrown in their way and hurt them, there had been an appeal in the pair, but now, well, now, he was just happy that there was some semblance of trust developing.

Even if he was the one switching sides this time.

As Meri dashed out of the room, Lucifer turned his gaze to follow her, a hint of amusement on his features that only doubled the second that Gabi dashed after her squealing, "Wait for meeeeeeee!" all the way. So it begins, indeed. Lucifer just hoped he was right about him having the toughness to deal with this.

"I can help, too!" He called after a moment, grinning at Claire and offering her a wink before moving to follow the girls.
