Daisy watched him leave with their glasses and return with new drinks. She'd asked for stronger, she just hoped it wasn't so strong she wouldn't be able to walk later.

"Just how strong is this drink?" she asked, tentatively taking a sip and finding it at least tasted good. "Do you want just like a bullet pointed list or my life history because that could take a while and I'd hate to keep your attention all to myself for the rest of the evening. Well, maybe I wouldn't but... I'm going to stop talking there."

"I guess we'll see," she said, smiling a little at the sight of his grin which was a little distracting if she was honest. "Well, I've been wanted by the government a few times so I'd say a fair bit of trouble. I don't talk about my past much, tend to keep it locked away but that's not healthy so right place, right time or something like that."

She took another sip of the drink, trying to decide where to start listing things. "Let's see. I hacked a government agency to try and find out the truth about my birth parents. I betrayed my team for my boyfriend at the time who ended up becoming an ex very soon after because he was a sellout. Uh, I told someone to try harder to kill themselves, not my proudest moment. I ended up polluting the world with terrigen that meant a lot of Inhumans transformed without any support and as a result were either captured or killed by various parties. I nearly helped destroy life as we know it in my world but my boyfriend sacrificed himself to save everyone. I'm sure there's more that I'm not remembering."

Daisy wasn't even sure if he'd been listening as she talked, it wouldn't be the first time she poured her heart out only to find that the person hadn't been listening to a word she said. But then he went and surprised her by actually responding and actually asking her a question.

"Did I find what? Oh, you mean the truth about my parents? Yeah but in some ways I think I was better off not knowing. I mean when your own mother tries to kill you it gives you some serious issues and when you already have issues the one thing you don't need is more."

"Yeah, that makes sense. My own father kinda went mad and killed a lot of people," Daisy added. She'd not really spoken about her parents with anyone, she'd locked it all away and pretended like it hadn't happened, just like she locked everything away.

"She tried to suck the life out of me, she could take the life force from others to heal herself. I was trying to stop her from killing millions and she decided to try and kill me, she would have done it too if my father hadn't have stopped her." She took a large drink, wanting to ignore the pain the memory brought with it, maybe talking about this hadn't been a good idea.

Daisy could feel herself getting more upset as she thought about everything that had happened, the drink wasn't really helping so she drank some more. "She cared about me but she cared about our people more. I was standing in the way of her plans so she was going to remove me from the equation."

She glanced up at him, hoping she didn't look as upset as she felt. "She's dead, my father had to kill her to get her to stop. He crushed her chest and he couldn't live with the memory of killing the only woman he'd ever loved so he had his memories erased, all of them including those of me so he doesn't even know who I am, I'm just a stranger to him. I went from believing I was an unwanted orphan to having two parents and then back to being unwanted again in the space of a couple of months. It's really fucked up."

In some ways it was kinda freeing to just put it all out there and not have someone immediately turn sympathetic to her plight. She hated having people's pity but that didn't seem to be a problem with Lucifer.

"I'm not normal, I'm just really good at faking it," she told him, draining the rest of her drink. "Fake it until you make it, I mean that's the saying. I'm messed up, I drink way too much and I make poor life choices. If that's normal then maybe I am but I really don't feel like it."

"Oh, yeah, I guess you would," Daisy replied with a weak smile. "Sometimes I do the drink too much and bad life choices as a combo, those are always good times."

She laughed at herself, honestly it sounded pathetic and she knew it did. "I would love another," she said, offering him her empty glass. "Maybe something stronger this time?"

"I'm barely drunk, I'm fine but I appreciate the concern," Daisy said, flashing him a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "It's not like I'm so drunk I'm throwing myself at the first tall, dark, and handsome man to talk to me."

Daisy frowned a little as he walked off with her glass. She got the impression she'd said or done something to piss him off and that didn't sit right with her.

When he returned she noticed he was a bit distracted. "Thank you," she said as she took the glass from him and took a sip. "Sorry, I know I'm probably terrible company. I didn't mean to get all depressing on you but my past is awful and well there's a reason I tend to keep it all buried. And if I said something stupid I'm sorry. But for the record, I think you are tall, dark and handsome. Maybe you're right, maybe I shouldn't drink anymore." She glanced down at the glass in her hand and the liquid inside.

"Oh, I'm sorry, that sucks," Daisy said, relieved that maybe she hadn't done anything to piss him off. "My best friend went home but if she came back I'm pretty sure I'd be stuck to her side like glue." It didn't make his situation any better though and she felt bad for him, actually felt bad for the Devil.

"Anything I can do to help? I'm a good listener or I can distract you some other way maybe? Whatever you need."

"I get the not wanting to talk about it. And shame about the sleeping together because I'm very discreet about that sort of thing." She wasn't going to lie she was disappointed to hear him say that.

"Okay, well if you change your mind at all feel free to come find me," she said, smiling up at him. "Yeah, thanks for letting me unload and not judging me for my awful family."

"Yeah, you're right," Daisy replied. "Thanks."

She frowned a little at his choice of words, not entirely sure if he'd meant them the way they sounded. She wasn't about to chase after him and ask so she just sat there watching him walk off towards the bar before she sipped at her drink and went back to watching the world go by.
