WHO: Beckett and Lucifer
WHEN: 226404.02 late evening
WHERE: The brig
SUMMARY: Lucifer's had a temper tantrum, so that should make Beckett's night at work more interesting.
WARNINGS: None, yet.

Once he realized that the security officers weren't just leading him out of the lounge, but instead were intent on taking him to the brig, Lucifer became rather belligerent. It ended up taking four of them to get him inside his overly lit and modern cell. Which he now sat in, two hours later, bored out of his mind. Twice he'd called out for someone to bring him a drink, and barring that, at least his PADD, because simply sitting and staring at a wall was enough to drive a man insane. Or so he thought right then, as there were plenty of other things he could be doing like distracting himself from the fact that Maze had left the ship and he hadn't.

"I hate this bloody place," he muttered to himself, but then looked up as he could feel someone watching him.

	"He was mad, at the end," Lucifer said quietly. "And it's good to hear you say all that, but that doesn't mean I don't deserve to be punished. At least, for that. Being here now because I scared a few people is a bit much." He tried to laugh at the end of that statement, but it wasn't very convincing. "I need to apologize to Lady Mary though..."

"It's the fact you destroyed Starfleet property that put you here, not scaring people."

With a sigh, Kate got to her feet, walking right up to the door of his cell. "But anger is -- it's natural. For him, for you, for your dad. Anger is the one emotion that's always prevalent in murder. The trick is that you don't let it take over your life and let it define you."

It was clear from the look on her face that she was speaking from experience, but Kate didn't let herself go into any further detail. She had never told Lucifer why she became a cop, and while she probably would one day, now wasn't the time.

"Oh God," Kate scoffed at this last statement, shaking herself out of memories of her mother and all the sadness and darkness that came with it by rolling her eyes at him again. "Mary Crawley isn't as delicate as you like to think she is."

"I didn't destroy it," Lucifer protested. "I just put it in a new location, is all. The table's still there and now there's a nice new space on the floor where people can stand."

But as Kate spoke again, he listened to her, and watched her. Whatever it was that allowed her to speak so knowledgeably, she wasn't sharing, and he wasn't really in the position to push for details.

And then the moment was over and she was talking about Lady Mary, and Lucifer found he had to agree. "Maybe not, but I was still a right bastard."

Smirking he added, "Look at me. I'm a mess. I know I never expected that when I left hell. You humans are far too complicated, you know that?"

	"It was bolted to the floor, Lucifer. That means it isn't intended to be moved." "Life is messy. Nice of you to join us on the ride." Shaking her head at him, Kate lifted her hand to press the button that raised the small door. "Go ahead and push the food tray back out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Details," he muttered. "You wouldn't know it from how easy it was to lift up."

Pushing the tray out and grateful that it was now safely away from him, he looked at Kate. "If I'm going to be stuck on this bloody ship, I'm glad that you can put up with me. And I'm glad that husband of yours showed up. He seemed alright when he wasn't shouting at me while shooting me with a laser gun yesterday."

She had to grin at that, easily able to picture Rick yelling at complete strangers in the midst of one of the games that had been played the day before. "Yeah, he's......intense when it comes to laser tag." And a few other things, but Kate didn't think Lucifer really wanted to know that part.

"But you're right, I can put up with you. That's what friends do. Put up with each other, support each other, and kick their asses when it's needed." She shrugged her shoulders at that, grinning at him as she leaned down to pick up the tray. "The drama queen attitude isn't new, either. Seen it all before."

	"I did notice," Lucifer agreed. "And yeah, you can so I got lucky. Even if you're calling me a drama queen. Let's just say I learned from the best." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That part made Kate laugh, the sound echoing through the brig with all its glass and metal surfaces. "You'll have to explain that when you aren't locked up for being a menace."

But, for now, she needed to take the tray back and do her rounds on the rest of the ship. It wasn't likely that Lucifer would try to break out and it wasn't as if she wouldn't be right back in the brig within half an hour. "I'll be back later. Don't destroy the place."

	"Sure," Lucifer said easily, leaning back against the wall when it became clear Kate was leaving. "Thanks for keeping me sane, Beckett," he added, with perhaps a bit more sincerity than he intended. He wasn't even sure if he meant right then, or in general. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Anytime, Lu," she replied, smirking at him because she fully expected he would hate any sort of nickname. "See you later." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Pardon?" Lucifer asked. "I think the rest of my name caught in your throat." It wasn't Luci, which was reserved only for Amenadiel, but it also wasn't Sauron. Shaking his head, he really didn't know how to feel about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No it didn't," Kate said over her shoulder, her eyebrows lifting in one quick wiggle as she started to laugh on her way out the door, leaving Lucifer alone for the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No I'm pretty sure it did!" Lucifer called out. But Kate was already gone. He should have told her to go find the rest of it on her rounds. Lu. Really? (Reply to this) (Parent)
