"The detective didn't go to Hell," Lucifer clarified. "I did." The explanation was a bit of a story but Lucifer had no qualms talking about his favorite subject. Himself.
"See, I'd abandoned Hell because I was tired of being a pawn in my father's game, and it was high time really because how long can you expect anyone to punish all the souls damned for eternity? So naturally, I moved to Los Angeles, had Mazikeen cut off my wings which I eventually burned and severed my link to Hell.
"I worked with the detective as a civilian consultant, solving cases, making sure the bad guys received punishment as is my specialty, and realized that even though I'm normally immortal, around her I wasn't."
He glanced at the bartender and signaled for the next drink, before declaring cheerfully, "So when one of our bad guys poisoned her before killing himself, I killed myself to go back to Hell and find him to get the recipe for the antidote. Then I had to be brought back to life after almost getting trapped in my own hell, myself. It was quite heroic, really. But it turns out she was just one of my father's pawns as well even if she was unaware of that."
