BATTLE Ruby/Sam/Samcifer/Dean/Deanchael
Lucifer had been all too engulfed in his conversation with his brother to bother with anyone else. They were nothing. They couldn't harm him they certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to try. The real threat stood before him. His brother. His blood. Michael would do everything he could to see to it that the only real end today saw was Lucifer's and that was something that Lucifer would never allow. Michael had to go, no matter how much the idea of taking the life of an archangel pained him.
It was for the greater good. It was for this planet. For their family. For him.
Lucifer watched his brother closely, preparing for the very moment in which Michael would attempt to strike him. Yet, before Michael was able to drive in his first attack, they were interrupted by a tiny flurry of dark hair and an even darker soul.
Ruby. The demon. Nothing more than vermin and she had decided to intervene over her feelings for Sam Winchester. Lucifer looked down at her, his emotions - usually masked quite well - bleeding out openly at the sight of such a small creature getting in the way of family business.
He was angry. Furious, in fact. The cold look that reflected from his vessel's eyes would have been enough to send any sane being running in the opposite direction, but Lucifer knew that Ruby wouldn't do that. Her heart had overwhelmed every last bit of her sense.
"Walk away. Die painlessly." Lucifer grabbed her by the shoulder and pushed her aside all too roughly. "If you get between me and my brother again, I will beat you down so badly that they'll find nothing but dust where you once stood."
It was a fair offer. If she refused, she would regret it. He would make her.
