Santa with tats, destroying Lucifer? Apollo needed to reassess his views on Santa, apparently. (Not only that, but how thrilled would Brody be, if Apollo could introduce him to the real Santa? The kid had never had a proper magical Christmas, and sure, Apollo had no desire to celebrate Christmas itself, tied in with Christ as it was, but it'd blow Brody's little mind, and that kid deserved all the magic Apollo could give him. Maybe he and Santa could make some kind of deal, specially if Apollo was here, healing his son.)
"This," Apollo said, sitting up straight again. "Is me spitting in Lucifer's eye myself, and healing your back. Can you handle that? How long have we got till the doctor does their next rounds?"
