[3rd POV]
A couple hours later, Lucifer was sitting on the stage, a bored look on her face as she yawned. She already knew what happened and how it did, thanks to watching the show, and thanks to her powers. So watching as the detectives slowly but surely began to try and figure it out, proved to be rather...dull.
So, during that time she had focused on creating more clones to go and claim as many Suns, Moons, and planets as they could, mostly because by increasing her divinity in her power over the sun, moon, and planets, all her other divinities would also increase in tandem, as they were all equal no matter what.
The power this would net her was immense, as every concept she was the God of, would improve with every planet, moon, and sun claimed, catapulting her to higher and higher tiers of power. She could already atomize universes with relative ease thanks to her power, and with that sort of "claiming" it would only continue to grow. Should she begin to "Claim" Hells and Underworlds, her power would increase even more.
At the moment she was watching as Samael met one of Chloe's ex boyfriends, some DJ that was actually decently skilled in the area of DJing. She could tell just from looking at Samael, that he was incredibly uncomfortable with the man, and even more than that, he was very jealous, which was...amusing.
She watched as Chloe walked off, with Jed, the DJ, watching her, before taking his phone call, walking off himself. Seeing the look on Samael's face, she walked over to him.
"You know she loves you, right?" Lucifer said, as she looked at the man, who glanced at her.
"Ah, the mystery girl. I was wondering what you were doing, and how do you know if that is a fact?" Samael asked with a raised eyebrow, as he looked at the unknown woman that had appeared out of nowhere.
"It's rather obvious, Samael. Anyone can see that you two are smitten for one another. I'm pretty sure you're the only ones who don't realize how obvious you are. As for the man, you don't need to worry about him, she isn't interested in the least, they're exes for a reason" Lucifer calmed Samael, noticing the jealousy and nervousness he was portraying when they interacted with one another.
"Yes well, it's not my fault that the...DJ was all over the Detective" Samael huffed, as Lucifer just chuckled.
"Trust me Samael, she won't accept any of his advances. Have some more faith in the woman you have fallen in love with" Lucifer replied, amusement in her eyes as she heard everything that the man had said. The fact that he didn't even realize all of this was hilarious to her, as she realized that he had no idea what he was doing, when it came to a true, genuine relationship with another person. Especially someone like Chloe.
Samael listened silently to what she said, before sighing "Whatever you say, mystery girl. Now, If you'll excuse me, I must go find the Detective before that blasted DJ goes to see her" Samael replied, before walking off as Lucifer just watched him, a small chuckle escaping her lips.
"That man is clueless when it comes to romance, isn't he?" Lucifer muttered, watching as Samael walked off to find Chloe. For a being that was older than the universe, he had absolutely no clue how to start a relationship with someone. Which Lucifer just thought was hilarious.
"Well, I guess not all of us can be gifted in that department" Lucifer said with a small smile, as she sensed the two walking together. She was the God of Love for a reason, and she could literally sense the love between the two, and it was 100% genuine, and incredibly strong, stronger than most others she had seen as the God of Love.
'I'm half tempted to bless their love, but I'll leave it be, as I know they'll be getting together either way' Lucifer thought with one final glance, before walking off, deciding to return to the LAPD headquarters where they would end up.

[LAPD, Later]
Sitting in the LAPD, Lucifer sat, watching Samael converse with another man known as "Dan Espinoza" the ex husband of Chloe, and another detective at LAPD.
Getting up, she walked over to the two "You know, it's creepy to stare. Plus, like I said earlier, you need to have more trust in Chloe, Luci" Lucifer said to Samael, knowing that Dan didn't know his true name, or that he was even the devil.
"Yes well, pardon me if I'm worried" Samael responded, as Dan looked at her in confusion.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?"
"Hmm? Oh I'm a newbie, just getting used to the place and following along with the case, that's all" Lucifer responded with a small smile on her face, as the man blinked before nodding slowly, her power making him ignore the obvious fact that she definitely shouldn't be there.
"Now that is intriguing" Samael muttered, noticing this, as Lucifer just gave him a small wink, before turning as Chloe walked over.
"Okay so, we've got a lead. Jed's been receiving threatening emails from a man named Raul Blanco"
"Yeah some ass-hat who's pissed about my foundation building low-income housing at the marina" Jed, the DJ said, as Lucifer raised an eyebrow, surprised that his charity was genuine, meaning...he was actually a pretty good dude.
"Of course he has a foundation" Dan muttered walking passed Samael as he couldn't help but speak after hearing this.
"Uh, detective...I've been thinking, perhaps we dismissed DJ dum-dum a little bit too quickly as the killer" Samael muttered to Chloe who sighed.
"Lucifer, he has an alibi, no motive, and trust me, I know him" Chloe said to Samael who looked at her before muttering a small "Okay".
"All right, Lucifer and I will go question Blanco, and, well, you just stay here at the precinct where it's safe. Ah, and mystery girl, you stay here too and watch him"
"Oh? And why should I?" Lucifer asked Chloe who rolled her eyes.
"You said you want to be a part of this case, right? This is how you do it. Now, I'll be off, and please, don't do anything stupid" Chloe said, as Samael followed after her.
'Huh...I just got told off, didn't I?' Lucifer blinked, having not remembered the last time that happened to her by anyone but Alice.
'She's a little spitfire ain't she? I can see why Samael likes her' Lucifer thought with a chuckle, as the woman definitely had a fierceness that rivaled Alice.
Glancing at the DJ, she ignored him as she moved over and sat back in Chloe's chair, a bored yawn escaping her lips, as she began to draw on some piece of paper that was probably important. The drawing in question was an utterly perfect portrait of Alice, even moving as she imbued it with the tiniest speck of divine energy, but not without putting an illusion over it so no one questioned it.
Blinking, Lucifer looked up as she felt the presence of someone in front of her "Oh? What're you doing here, Mazikeen?"
"What the hell are you doing here?" Maze asked, glaring fiercely at Lucifer who raised an eyebrow.
"I'm just helping the Detective and Samael on a-" "No, I mean in this universe. Since you're the Lucifer of another universe and all" Maze cut her off, narrowed eyes looking upon Lucifer who smiled.
"Just traveling and thought it would be interesting to meet a counterpart of mine. He may be weaker than I am, but he sure is interesting. Not to mention that miracle Detective of his. Ah, and of course, to recruit you" Lucifer replied truthfully.
"You were serious about that?" Maze asked, her narrowed eyes being replaced with a look of surprise.
"Why of course! I know talent when I see it, and you've got a lot of it, Maze. Even if you are a demon, you are far more interesting than any of those others" Lucifer replied with a shrug.
"What does that even mean?!" Maze asked, raising her voice. No one noticed only because of Lucifer's influence.
"I mean, you have done something that no other demon has ever accomplished, Maze"
"And what is that?" Maze asked with a small scoff.
"Grew a soul" Lucifer replied with a small smile, as Maze's eyes shot wide.
"Wha-what?"
"I mean, you have grown a soul, Maze. A truly incredible thing, something that I haven't seen before. Unlike the other demons, you have a soul, and thus are far more interesting than any of them" Lucifer replied, as Maze stepped back.
"I-I have a soul?" Maze stuttered, shocked as her eyes were wide.
"Yep. You have a soul just like all the rest of us, well, besides yours being a bit unique due to its nature of being a grown soul, as well as being the soul of a demon. But either way, you've got one" Lucifer replied with a nod, as Maze looked like she was about to cry.
"How do you-" "Maze, my eyes can see every single speck of this universe, down to the very last atom. I can see the boundaries of dimensions and reality, and I can see the very concepts that make it up. Seeing a soul is laughably easy" Lucifer cut her off, as Maze let out a shudder filled intake of air.
Looking at Lucifer, Maze slowly steeled herself, as she let out one last breath, and opened her mouth, asking a question that would forever change her life.
"...What was that offer you gave me again?"
