Chapter Text
Charlie paced back and forth like a mad woman. She muttered under her breath cursing her luck.
Why did this have to happen again… didn't we suffer enough when mom disappeared. She thought to herself as she paced in her room.
The door opened to charlies room and the demon princess turned to see her girlfriend vaggie smiling at her.
'Babe?' Vaggie asked… 'You doing ok.'
Charlie shook her head. 'Vaggie, you saw jeanes wings right.'
'Yeah, you wanna talk about it.'
Charlie sat on the bed and covered her face while vaggie sat next to her and began rubbing her back. 'I don't know where to start.'
'Why not at the beginning. When did jeane first start showing these powers.' She asked making sure to comfort her girlfriend.
'When he was a toddler. He was flying at such a young age it was hard for anyone but dad to catch him.' Charlie admitted. 'One dad he ran out into the city and someone tried to attack him… then jeane caused havoc.'
'How so…' Vaggie could hardly believe their sweet little jeane could do anyone any harm.
'he was blasting holy light and throwing black holes. We manage to cover it up as a rogue angel attack but on that day my father placed seals on jeanes powers fearing that the angels would take him away… and now those seals are gone… I don't know what to do vaggie… im so scared for jeane.'
Vaggie patted charlies back. 'Itll be ok. Well take care of it. Your dad is coming today right… well when he gets here hell help jeane and well be able to save him from the angels.'
Charlie leaned onto vaggie for comfort as they cuddled. 'Thanks vaggie.'
the pair then heard a commossion from outside and saw a figure zip past their window.
Fearing he worst they ran to jeanes room to find him missing.
Charlie freaking out turned full demon form and ran outside and yelled. 'you cant take my brother you feathered freaks!'
Charlie saw the hotel residents confusedly looking at her as they had popcorn and beer.
'Whats going on… I thought there was an angel here.' Charlie asked.
Vaggie ran out with her spear and yelled. 'wheres the angel.'
'Ladies, we were just watching the sky show and as for the angel. Look up.' Angeldust pointed upward.
Both charlie and vaggie looked up to see jeane with his wings hovering overhead with a smile.
'Hey vaggie, hey charlie… look I can do a barrel roll.' Jeane proceeded to do an aerial barrel roll trick with a yell of joy.
'Jeane Samiel Morningstar you get down here this instant.' Charlie demanded in an authoritative tone.
'charlie calm down.' Vaggie said.
Jeane flew down to charlie who crossed her arms.
'What do you think your doing young mister?' Charlie shook his head.
'I was just playing around, do air tricks with my new wings. Whats the big deal sis.' Jeane asked confused by the normally cheerful charlie taking this tone.
'And what if someone besides the residents saw you. Don't you realize that you couldve been mistaken for an angel and attacked… then where would I be grieving over my brother for being a dumb… idiot!'
Jeane froze and the other residents rubbed the back of their heads.
'Charlie why are you saying this. This isnt like you.' Jeane felt terrible.
'Go to your room. Your grounded until further notice.' Charlie exclaimed.
'What for.'
'Because I said so… now… march!' Charlie pointed toward jeanes room trying to hold her breath.
Jeane looked at her and then narrowed his eyes. 'Fine charlie… whatever.'
Jeane ran up to his room 'and don't ever come to my room ever again… I don't want to see you again.'
'Well thats fine by me!' Charlie yelled as jeane slammed the door and she saw the tears in his eyes.
'Wow, charlie that was kinda harsh wasnt it. He didn't really do anything wrong.' Angel said.
'And as for you angeldust… I have allowed you into this hotel because I want to redeem you but if you keep endangering my brother ill throw you back out onto the streets where you can suck all the dicks you want until valentino gets tired of you and finds a new cash cow.'
'Hey thats uncalled for.' Husk exclaimed
'Oh im gonna take advice from the drunk who bitches and moans about everyones life choices when hes the one who lost his soul on a card game. Hows that life choice working out for ya.' Charlie exclaimed.
Both angel and husk looked sad.
Suddenly sir pentious walked up to charlie. 'Your not being very nice.'
'Im tired of being nice! I have been nice my whole life and what has it got it. The angels wont listen to my plan, you fuckers wont even try your best to redeem yourselves and now your corrupting jeane… you know what if you keep this up ill kick every last one of you out and see how you like that.'
'Charlie!' Vaggie exclaimed grabbing her girlfriends shoulder applying some pressure. 'Enough, you don't mean any of this… now tell them sorry.'
Charlies look of angry almost instantly went away as she fell into tears. 'Oh lord, im so sorry… I I im just so scared for jeane… if the angels find out sabout his powers they will take him away from me… please everyone forgive me… im so sorry.'
Angel was first and gave her a hug. 'Hey there I understand its ok.'
Husk shrugged. 'Id be more mad if you werent so accurate as he walked up to her and nodded.'
Sir pentious meanwhile slithered up and said. 'you owe jeane the biggest apology.'
'But I only did that for his safety.'
'Yeah charlie, weve been meaning to talk with you.' Angel started.
'You cant do this to him. He deserves a chance to live his life without you coddling him.' Husk blurted out.
'I wouldnt be so rude… but yes jeane deserves his freedom.'
'But Im his keeper… I I cant let him go… I just cant let him get hurt.'
'Charlie… you have to trust jeane… besides he has those cool powers aint no one gonna hurt him.' Angel added.
'Yeah and if you want we can help him with our knowledge. We can teach him everything we know about hell. Inform him so he doesn't get taken advantage of.'
'Yes, you don't have to do this alone but if you keep treating jeane like a little bird who cant do anythign he will resent you.' Sir pentious said placing his hand on her shoulder.
'Alright I guess we can discuss it… when dad gets here well talk about teaching jeane to use his power.' charlie agreed.
'ok then, ill grab some cake from the fridge… a peace offering to appease jeane. You did kinda unfairly send him to his room.' Vaggie said as she walked back into the hotel.
The group all stood on the porch for a moment when lucifer arrived with his angel wings flying down in a bright flash of light.
'dad, nice to see you.' Charlie exclaimed running up to her father and wrapping her arms around his neck for a hug.
The devil chuckled. 'charlie, long time no talk. How have you been.'
'Good good, a little stressed.' Charlie admitted with a smile.
The devil patted her head. 'I can tell, I see your hotel is coming along. If you ever need a hand from me let me know.'
'Thanks dad, if I think of anything ill let you know.'Charlie then looked up at jeanes window which was dark.
'Everything ok… I know the seals broke which should be impossible but I can try to contact sera and see if I can get a book of angelic magic… shes still sweet on me from when I was an angel.' Lucifer gloated slicking his hair back.
'Ooh, id like to hear how youve got an angel wanting you mr. Lucifer.' Angeldust chimed in.
'Angel!' Husk slapped him. 'Not the time.'
'Ow ok.'
'No dad thats ok. Instead of suppressing jeanes power… I think hes old enough… to learn how to use them.' Charlie admitted looking at her father who was dumbfounded.
'Are you sure charlie. If the angels find out before he is ready theyll take it as me preparing a weapon for war and it will be bad.' Lucifer said.
'please dad, Ive kept jeane hostage his whole life… I need to make it up to him… show him… that I trust him as an adult you know.' Charlie begged looking her father in the eyes with big eyes.
Lucifer nodded his head. 'Youve sure grown up havent you. Your mother was a bit out of line putting that whole brothers keeper on you but you took it well and you treated jeane better then any other sibling in hell was ever treated… now your letting him go free, make his own choices, im proud of you charlie.'
Lucifer rubbed her head and leaned in to kiss it with a smile.
Charlie giggled.
Vaggie charged outside panting to herself making everyone look at her stupified.
'Jeanes gone!'
'what?' Everyone exclaimed.
'I went to the room with a piece of a cake and found a note with his hand writing on it. It says that he is running away and never coming back… we have to find him.' Vaggie says.
Lucifer took a determined look on his face. 'he cant have gotten far. Everyone fan out into the city. Husk you and me will take to the air. Vaggie you and charlie take razzle and dazzle flying around the city, angel you and sir pentious cover the ground work, and alastor use your contacts to search for him.'
the group all took their assignments and begin rushing out unaware that jeane was hiding in the shadows watching them and waiting for all of them to leave.
Jeane hated it at the hotel and this was the last straw.
The boy traveled through the shadows a power he discovered last night when he was too excited to sleep. Ever since the incident with angel dust he had been gaining new powers. The boy rode the shadows to the city until he got to the alley.
The boy exited to find himself in an alley with a drug addict passed out pipe in hand.
The boy looked around and frowned noticing the city was quite lively with people doing their sin. The boy walked into the crowd trying to remain unseen.
He looked around at the glamer of the city with a smile. The boy decided not to fly because of his families search and on que. He noticed lucifers light coming in. The boy ducked into a store unseen as lucifer flew past.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief and saw he was in a grocery store type deal and his stomach began to growl.
Rubbing his stomach the boy decided to grab a snack. Reaching into his pocket he realized he didn't grab any money… he was starving though… but stealing was risky business in hell.
Before jeane could even comtemplate the idea of taking something someone cleared their throat.
'hey there young man you look hungry.' a woman with pale skin and ash colored hair asked she didn't look like a demon but like a beautiful female human like him… then jeane realized… she was an angel.
The boy took a step back. 'what are you doing here angel… your not supposed to be here until for another month…'
the angel raised her hand to ease him. 'calm down, im not here on business… im just wanting to make sure you okay.'
'thats a lie… why would an angel care about a demon like me.' Jeane asked.
'a demon huh… last I checked demons don't manifest wings like those kids…' The angel said pointing to his wings.
'these… wings… I don't know what they mean.' jeane said feeling his stomach rumble.
The angel giggled to herself. 'lets get you something to eat and talk about it.'
Jeane watched her warily. Then at the cabobs in the rolling on the rotisserie. He licked his lips. One meal with an angel couldn't heart and maybe she could tell him about his past.
'alright I guess one cabob wont hurt anything.' Jeane said.
The angel smiled then ordered a pair of cabobs and handed jeane one. He bit into it and smiled at how fresh it was. It tasted so good it was great. He gulped it down and he smiled as he finished it.
'thank you.'
'polite for a supposed demon.' the angel said. 'my names lute by the way.
'jeane… your the one from the meeting with adam… your different when your not in a professional setting.' jeane said following lute out into the city. The pair walked down the street with jeane having his hood up and lute having a hood up too.
'yeah, well I cant be too serious all the time. Now why don't you tell me why you ran away from home.' lute asked taking jeane deeper into the city.
'its my sister… she snapped or something. I thought she was finally gonna let me be me but she has gotten more controlling then ever.'
'demons are like that jeane. They try to control and possess because there hearts have no room for love.'
'I wouldnt say that. I know charlie loves me… but she just… I mean…'
'she tries to hide you from the world. But someone like you deserves to be with your own kind.'
'my kind.' Jeane asked looking at lute as he looked around he realized they had reached the heaven embassy. 'what are we doing here.'
'I want to show you something… you were curious about your origins right. How you ended up in the care of the morningstars right… well let me show you and then youll see why you don't belong here.'
lute grabbed jeanes hand reaching up to the embassy. Looking back.
Jeane looked up and gulped. He nodded his head and followed lute into the embassy. Inside he saw the same desk this time however lute took him down into the basement. They walked lower and lower down a golden staircase until they reached the bottom where there stood a golden door with a thousand faces of cherub like angels.
'this place looks spooky.' jeane remark as lute opens the door by turning a nose of a cherub.
The boy watches as the cherubs as sing out opening their mouths with golden light then opening the door to reveal a room with a circular table in the center.
Lute enters and with a sweeping gesture smiles.
'take a look jeane this is your history.' She declares twirling around.
Jeane looked at the first image on the wall and saw a garden with a man and a woman that had a pair of horns concealed in their hair.
'thats the tale of adam and lilith… the first couple.. a failure because of liliths rebellious nature.'
Jeane nodded his head and looked at the next image which showed a more subservient woman with adam but the woman held a dagger behind her back.
'and thats adams marriage to eve… a real piece of work her… at least lilith was honest with her feelings of betrayal.'
Jeane turned to the third panel which showed two children dead by each others hand as evident by the daggers in their hand which looked similar to eves.
Lute held her hand to her mouth. 'those are caine and abel… the first two children of adam… dead by deception… orcherastated by eve.'
Jeane turned to the fourth panel showing adam holding a baby and raising it high above his head it had a halo like a crown.
The boy felt something stir in him as he remembered a song.
'he has roguish charm doesn't he.' a memory flashed and the voice it was… adams.
'what happened… what was that.'
'your memory jeane… your remembering thats good.'
'remembering what?'
Lute showed jeane the fourth panel this one shiny and new unlike the others showing an image of the baby as it grew into a boy and eventually into an young adult revealing itself to be jeane In his angel form.
Jeane backed away and shook his head. 'No… this isnt true… im a demon… im from hell.'
'Why do you cling to such a lie… your an angel jeane… like your father… like me.' Lute reached out to jeane but he pushed her hand away.
'Stay Back! Your lying… trying to confuse me… im not an angel.. certainly not a son of adam.'
Lute shook her head. 'Jeane please… your just confused… you have to remember who you are… before she took you away from us.'
'Who!'
'your mother, eve.' Lute revealed and jeane could swear he felt a shadow over him. 'no… no… it cant be true.'
'jeane please… calm down… im here for you… let me help you.'
'why! Why are you doing this…'
'because jeane. Despite what those demons have told you. Angels do what is best for the world… and the good for all man… your an angel you know this… jeane… I love you and you are mine and I wont let anyone hurt you I promise… come here give me a hug.'
Lute held her arms open wide and warmly with a smile.
Jeane froze he didn't wanna believe but he looked down.
'how do I know I can trust you.'
mother knows best by rapunzel
lute walks forward her arms still extended in a hug position: because jeane, im adams wife… and your new mother… and mother knows best.
Lute wraps jeane in a hug and he squirms out of it backing away: listen to your mommie, its a scary world out there.
Lute extends her wings and flies in front of a fleeing jeane: mother knows best, one way or another.
Jeane tries to run away but lute grabs his hand and pulls him close to her: something will go wrong I swear.
Lute then slams her fist on the circular table showing a video of sinners: Killers, Rapists, sinners of all sorts left to breed like a plague.
Lute lifts jeane to fly with her wings: not to mention the royal demons, they are the worst.
Lute then pressed jeane to her heart and starts rubbing his head like a baby: now stop no more your just gonna upset me.
Lute then looks jeane in the eye sweetly and kisses his cheek leaving a black kiss mark: now mother is here, mother will protect you… now tell her what she wants to hear.
Jeane looked to the exit but lute grabbed his head and made him look her in the eye: jeane… do you really want to go back to live with that demon… where youll never be allowed to see the beauty of heaven or earth… or do you want to be free… with me
Jeane gulped when suddenly a fireball hit lute In the head
'Get away from my son!' Lucifer yelled his form standing in the doorway of the room.
Lute glared at him then smirked. 'invading the embassy huh, that can be added to your list of crimes lucifer on top of kidnapping an angel of heaven and raising It for your rebellion.'
'what are you talking about?' Jeane asked confused.
Lute looked at lucifer glad she had won 'don't you find it weird that your only just now unlocking these powers jeane… its because lucifer kidnapped you and is preparing to use you to aid him in rebelling against heaven… how dare you manipulate someone like that devil.'
Lucifer grew angrier. 'I would never do that.'
'what about eve lucifer… you manipulated her didn't you.' Lute smirked at her own genius as always and lucifer was about to attack.
'what do you even stand to gain to take jeane away.'
'we want our family back… jeane is ours and now that we know where he is we wont stop until he is ours again… you think the angel high command hasnt already found out where he is… theyve already begun discussing lucifer raising an angel of a rank equal to a seraphim to rebel against heaven.'
'Thats a lie!'
Lute then looked at jeane 'its time to go home jeane… come with me and well be a family again.'
'No jeane… please… I know I havent been the most ideal dad… but you have to know that charlie loves you more then the world.'
'Ha, demons cant love… angels are the only ones who have the capacity for true love.' Lute gloated as if she won.
Jeane slipped out of her hand making her have a shocked look. 'Dad… is what she saying true… am I really… adams son.'
'Yes son, your adams child… but your my son.' Lucifer reached out his hand.
'Jeane… this is ridiculous your mine… come here now!' Lute commanded.
'No!'
'What did you say to me… you don't mean that young man… you know… im the only one who can love and take care of you.'
'Ive heard that before and id rather be with the family whose raised me then the one who only wants me when ive begun to show my powers.'
Lute growled as a beam of light showed up.
Mother knows best reprise by rapunzel
Lute frowned: so… thats how its gonna be.
Lute backed away laughing softly: jeane knows best, jeane is so mature now… such a smart and grown up sir.
Lute laughs a little louder as she is closer to the light jeane looks as she reaches behind her back: jeane knows best well if that is the case then maybe you should put your dad to the test
Lute reached behind her back pulling out a half gold half red halo with a black star with a white center over it: this halos want he wants… put it on and youll see what he truly is.
Lute reaches the lute: but when you find out hes lying… don't you dare come crying… mother… knows best.
Jeane watched lute leave in a beam of light and lucifer looked up at her frowning. He turned his head towards his son and his face softened…
'jeane buddy, what were you thinking.' He started, his voice soft like a whisper.
'Its charlie… I don't know whats came over her but I cant live like this anymore… I don't want to be a prisoner dad.' Jeane exclaimed.
Lucifer nodded his head. 'I think charlie realized that before you left…. Jeane, its not entirely her fault… did you know that on day you came into our lives… your mother made charlie promise to keep you safe no matter what… she made charlie affirm that she would be your keeper.'
Jeane looked up amazed. 'really, I had no idea.'
'Its true your mother loved you more then anything and she could go a little overboard… charlies the same way… now I know you don't want to go back to being stuck in your room so hows about this… you come home and we will make sure that you can see the world… earth, hell, anywhere.'
'You mean it dad.' Jeane asked his eyes sparkling.
Lucifer smiled wrapping his arms around his son. 'Son have I ever lied to my own children before.'
Jeane was about to say something but lucifer raised a finger.
'Dont answer that.'
the pair left the embassy with their wings flying toward the hotel smiling all the way. Jeane and lucifer waited by the hotel for everyone to come back.
Meanwhile jeane was looking up at heaven and wondering what was gonna happen next.
'Dont worry about them jeane… they wont take you from me. I promise you that.'
both lucifer and jeane embraced as the sound wings in the distance caught their attention.
'Jeane!' Charlie exclaimed running to jeane and wrapping him in a hug lifting him off his feet and holding him close to her. 'im so so so sorry… ill never try to keep you imprisoned again.'
Jeane smiled as he wrapped her in a hug 'I know charlie and im sorry for running away.'
'well I guess alls well that ends well.' Vaggie said with a smile.
Suddenly a beam of light shot down to reveal an angel in a white robe with two wings and gray skin revealing a scroll.
'Charlie morningstar, vaggie, and jeane morningstar you have been summoned before the celestial courthouse of heaven to discuss several matters the chief of which is the matter of your attempts to rehabilate sinners. Your attendence is of course mandatory we will see you in one week.'
a golden light shot out and the angel left leaving everyone dumb founded.
'Well fuck!' Lucifer and vaggie exclaimed.
