Going to the Wall (3)

The team was ready in 6 hours of which the last 4 hours was spent with John going to LA and convincing Lucifer to come out of his nest.

"I am not going to this bloody charade and the tea party that you have made."

"But Luci there are very few people who are as powerful as you out there. In addition your Father's interest is in this."

"Father? Father came to meet you?" Now Lucifer was interested when John mentioned that.

"Yes, a few months ago he came and visited us all and gave us a warning. He hopes we defend our realm and keep everyone safe."

"Since Father has come and gave you all his feet to kiss upon, why are you here? Go on. Off your God." Lucifer said while having no respect for his Father. His Father was the Presence of the DC universe and John was sure that if OAA had sons then he would beat the shit out of his son if he acted like this.

But it wasn't entirely Lucifer's fault. His Father really was responsible for many trauma that Lucifer suffered from.

"Luci. Listen to me. You and your wife won't even have a chance to fight if we give up and don't do things right." John finally couldn't take it anymore and had to use the system to make him a little obedient. He had been trying to convince him for a long time now and he was losing patience.

"Fine.. Fine.. I will go.. So much for Father who still hasn't shown his face." Lucifer complained.

"It will be fine. Who knows. After this you might have to sit in his position."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you think will happen if the Wall breaks apart? This will kill your Father." John reminded him.

"What? You never told me that. All you said was that the Wall was going to break."

"Now you know. We can only do so much and try to save what we can."

Lucifer now had a serious look on his face. He was fine and dandy all this time but the moment he came to know that his Father might die, it did affect him. No matter what, he did love his Father. Even after all the torture and trauma over these years.

In the depth of his soul he believed that he was responsible for what he was facing, after all he was naughty when he was young. And now he came to know that his Father might not be present after this war that John spoke of.

"You should have at least held a traffic sign above or something before you say such absurd things." Lucifer said.

"It is the truth, Luci. So now get your ass up and help me. Maybe there is something in the Wall that might save your Father."

"I will be ready in an hour. Just need to get my toothbrush and my towel." Lucifer said as he looked at Chloe who was sitting on the couch listening to them. She knew of nothing and was a little confused but she knew what Lucifer meant by Father.

The God Almighty.

So this thing was serious so she didn't interrupt. John after saying goodbye to Chloe vanished from his place and was back at Hall where he found everyone waiting. Waiting for Lucifer!!!

"Did that guy accept?" Wanda asked. She had known Lucifer from the Seireitei time and even asked him about the other forms of magic.

"Yeah, he will be here soon." John assured.

"Is he really the demon from Hell?" Barry couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah. Technically the son of God from your universe but he isn't as powerful as he is supposed to be." John said.

"Oww our God? That World War I guy? Hmm.. Even his son is here.. I guess he did send some help. Barry thought but he didn't speak his words out loud. After all, God was still the real God. He didn't want to offend anyone. As they were talking John saw Thanos sitting on the stairs on the doors of Hall.

He didn't enter the Hall. John could see the reason why he refused to enter the Hall. The Hall was the accumulation of all the heroes. Thanos knew he didn't deserve to walk inside. Few years before he might have not cared after all in his book he himself was the ultimate hero.

He was saving the universe from the demise of destruction and Celestials. But now he knew that the real heroes were the ones who defended their own freedom. Thanos was depriving the people of freedom.

He understood what freedom meant in that prison. Now he would have to go back to that same place. He had already done the mission and now even if he dies there he doesn't care.
