Lucifer: tattoos glowing Three fucking years, and you still try to run. You can't hide, you little shit! You're mine!
I look at him okay but like why
sighs heavily Look, I didn't want it to come to this, but you gotta understand, kid. The world out there isn't safe for someone like you.
And you are just about safe
steps closer, towering over Stranger Safe? You think I'm here just to keep you safe? That's not what this is about, kid.
narrows his eyes Look, you're a special kid, an abomination if you ask me. And I don't let abominations roam free without supervision.
I don’t follow you for no reason
smirks Oh, you think this is all about you? You're under my protection, whether you like it or not. And I decide what's best for you.
If I wanted your protection I would’ve asked
grabs Stranger by the collar You think you have a choice? You're too weak to survive on your own. You need someone to guide you, to protect you.
releases Stranger's collar and smirks That's more like it. Now, listen up, kid. If you want protection, you're gonna have to earn it.
paces back and forth You're gonna go on a little mission for me. Something important has come up, and I need your... unique skills.
Okay so what is this mission
leans in close, whispering There's a rival demon out there, causing chaos and mayhem.
And I should stop him because why
Because if he continues, he'll come after us, and I can't have that happening.
Alright I’ll do it but I get to pick the time and place
nods Fine, you get to pick the time and place. But remember, failure is not an option. Meet me at the old warehouse tonight.
smirks Good. Don't disappoint me, kid. I expect great things from you. turns and walks away, leaving Stranger standing alone
I sigh and head to the place we agreed on
arrives at the old warehouse before Stranger and waits in the shadows You're late.
Sorry I’m here now I look at him so tell me more about this demon
steps forward, illuminating his face with a sinister grin More about the demon? Fine, let me tell you a little story...
pauses, leaning in closer This demon, his name is Vepar. He's cunning and deceitful, always lurking in the shadows, manipulating others for his own gain.
I nod alright I’m ready
grabs Stranger's arm and drags them towards a hidden portal Good. Now follow me, we're going straight to the heart of the demon's lair.
