WHO: Kate Beckett and Lucifer Morningstar
WHEN: 224603.26; evening
WHERE: Gym
SUMMARY: Beckett promised to tell Lucifer about her husband.
WARNINGS: None at the moment.

The slap of leather against leather was soothing to her, the force of the punches Kate gave to the bag in front of her vibrating up her arms. She had started kickboxing when she joined the NYPD, as much a way to build her core strength and improve her skill at sparring as a genuine interest in the sport. But she had quickly found that it helped focus her, pushed away some of the rage and aggression that had become so much a part of her after her mother's death.

It didn't hurt that it also helped tone her arms and legs, making sure that the skinny jeans she loved so much still looked good on a woman in her late thirties that was distinctly aware of how quickly her fortieth birthday would arrive.

With another hard hit to the bag with her left hand, Kate lifted her knee to land another blow and spun to the other side of the bag, kicking out with her leg to strike at its center point. Four quick blows later she ended her routine with one final right hook.

"Are you stalking me now or what?" she asked, lifting one of the gloves to her mouth and ripping the binding back with her teeth to loosen the strap across her wrist as she turned to face Lucifer.

"Ah," she gave a nod, some long forgotten memory from her few trips to church as a kid. Wasn't there something about streets paved with gold? If so, it was sort of funny that Lucifer had tagged heaven as the Silver City. "I mean, I'd rather end up there I think."

And while she did mean it, Kate still cringed a bit. "No offense or anything." Though it didn't quite matter because hadn't Lucifer told that he had no intentions of going back to hell.

Blowing out a sigh, she gave a vague arm gestured towards the room at large. "It's not so bad. The equipment is very nice and high tech compared to anything I've used before. If nothing else, this is a good way to work out some aggression."

Which was precisely the reason she had come in for a bit of kickboxing. Stress relief.

	Lucifer laughed. "Don't worry, I'd be pissed off if I found you in hell whenever dad decides he's done with the world and it all ends." Because he assumed he'd end up back there, someday, whenever that might be. "You're too good for there. That better never change." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh I know," Kate laughed, nudging his ribs with her elbow, "But I bet I'd look really good with devil horns." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucifer shook his head. "People are always giving me horns and a tail. And a pitchfork. Like I would need a pitchfork." He glanced at her. "You would look good with devil horns though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I really don't know what the pitchfork is supposed to be there for," she said with a frown. "Maybe to hook all the people you seduce with evil or something."

Though pitchforks weren't really intended for hooking things, so that didn't make much sense either.

"Devil horns, angel halo," Kate shrugged, slowly moving to her knees and then getting to her feet, extending a hand to help Lucifer get himself off the gym floor. "I pretty much look good in anything."

While she didn't say much about it, Kate knew she was attractive and she wasn't above using her looks to her advantage under the right circumstances.

"Yeah, angels don't actually have halos," Lucifer replied, reaching for Kate's hand. "But I don't doubt that."

He stood up and looked at her. "I'm here, alright? Hell, I make a better punching bag than a punching bag. Speaking of which, if you're not going to spar me, I'm going to take out some of that aforementioned aggression myself."

He glanced over at the bag, then back to her. "Because trust me, you don't have a monopoly on guilt around here."

"Oh, is that what you wanted? To fight me?" she asked, genuinely surprised. "Maybe some other time. Right now I think I need to go back to my room, shower and clean up."

Walking over to her bag, Kate picked it up along with the gloves and the water bottle she had left, giving Lucifer a smile over her shoulder. "Enjoy it. Hopefully, it'll work for you like it does for me."

Lucifer had to laugh at that. "No, definitely not. But that was a possibility before you took off your gloves. Or at least, I'd let you hit me. I don't want to accidentally kill you."

That wasn't an overstatement either.

"Have a good night, Beckett. And thanks. For humoring me, that is." Though he was pretty sure making her talk was a good thing.

He watched her leave, and then had the gym to himself, which was a good thing. It might work for him like Kate had hoped, or he could end up leaving all of the equipment broken. And that was why it was probably a better idea for him to spend all day in the bar then at the gym.
