While the devil stood back and watched, Sam walked over to Mary and Dean. Mary pulled her youngest son into a hug instantly. "Sam?" Dean spoke, his once broken heart coming together after seeing the brother that he raised was alive.
"What happened?" Dean asked as Mary looked over Sam for any open wounds. "He, uh...he brought me back" They all looked over at the devil. "It's what I do" He feigned. "It is not what you..." Castiel stopped himself from getting too worked up, not when the twins were around. Jenna moved closer to her brother in fear of the devil in front of her.
"How did you get in here?" Castiel questioned. " VIP Pass. I'm with the band" Everyone's faces turned into ones of displeasure and distrust. Jenna remembered what she read about Lucifer in the Supernatural stories and what he did to Sam, she couldn't believe him for a second.
"Come on. Shouldn't you be thanking me? I-I gave Sammy an extra life. Besides, what with my little bro here" Lucifer gestured towards Gabriel. "Being a hot mess, I figured you need me. So, I'm here to join the team" Thunder rumbled in the distance as nobody responded to Lucifer.
Lucifer sauntered over to the twins, both holding onto the other's hand tightly in fear and anxiousness. "Your name's Jack and Jenna" He looked at his biological children in awe. "And yours is Lucifer" Jack added, standing slightly in front of Jenna in case anything went wrong.
Everyone started freaking out when Lucifer made contact with the twins, Dean was the one who showed his anger. "No. No, no. No. You don't talk to them" Dean pointed at Lucifer as he walked over. "And you two, don't listen to him" He finished, pointing at the twins.
"Um, don't you think that's their choice?" Lucifer said, staying as calm as he could appear. "No" There was now a tight circle around the group, even Gabriel was ready to fight his older brother in the name of protecting his niece and nephew who were nothing like Lucifer.
"Are you trying to keep me from my son and daughter? My kids?" The devil scoffed. "Well, these are Kelly Kline's children. They're nothing like you" Castiel retorted. "Don't say they're nothing like me. I'm the only one who understands them. This power they have? I'm powerful, dangerous, ruthless. In the...best sense, though" Jack seemed cautious but still curious whereas Jenna seemed scared.
"No. Kill him" Dean exclaimed to Gabriel, who looked too uncomfortable in doing so. "He can't. He's not strong enough" Lucifer chuckled. "Dean..." Gabriel's voice was soft, trying to find a way to reason with the man. "You've got the blade" The anxiety of the situation was too much for the twins. "Stop" Jenna mumbled, wincing at the intensity.
"He's the devil. Kill him" Jenna squeezed her eyes closed, both twins were talking to each other telepathically and decided to flee. "Stop it!" Jack shouted, getting their attention before the twins disappeared.

The twins both ended up appearing in the same location, both of their minds connected as they went over everything that's happened.
"Hi, Jack. Hi, Jenna. I'm your mom. I daydream about...my babies, you. I wish I could see you both grow up. No one would blame you if one day, either of you went looking for your dad".
"Jack, Jenna, don't let anyone tell either of you who you're suppose to be. You are who you choose to be".
Memory after memory came exploding into their brains, the good ones and the bad ones. The ones where they helped, and the ones where they couldn't help save anyone. Neither twin knew what to do, nobody did.
"Jenna, maybe we should hear him out. Mom said it was okay for us to look for our dad" Jack advised. "Jack, he's a monster. He's done so many horrible things, his soul is so dark and it doesn't hold a single spec of light that I can see" Jenna argued.
"I want to hear what he has to say" Jack stood his ground. "Jack—" Jenna stopped when she saw the look her brother was giving her. "Fine. I'm not leaving you alone with him".
Lucifer and Castiel were together, obviously arguing and not getting along as if they were two parents in a custody battle.
"Come on, Cas, old sport" Lucifer tried to get the angel to soften up. "I'm not your sport, and I will not broker a relationship between you and your—" The sound of wings fluttering cut Castiel off, looking over to see Jack and Jenna had shown up.
"Speak of the Not Devil times two" Lucifer mumbled to Castiel. The two walked towards their biological father and their chosen father, Jack wanted to get to know Lucifer and Jenna wouldn't leave him alone with the devil.
"Son, daughter" He greeted the twins. "It's Jack and Jenna" Jack corrected. "Jack, Jenna, talking with Lucifer, it's--it's not a good idea" Castiel told the two. "I'm not going to talk. I'm going to listen" Jack corrected. "He's gonna listen" Lucifer whispered mockingly to Castiel, slightly disappointed at the glare

"Jack, Jenna..." Castiel pleaded with the twins. Jack ignored him, walking right up to Lucifer. Jenna sent Castiel a reassuring smile before standing next to Jack, moving her focus to Lucifer's vessel instead of his soul.
Lucifer looked at the twins in amazement as he felt their powers. "Wow. I have been waiting for this moment for so long, I almost don't know what to say" Lucifer chuckled to himself, the first time in a long time that the devils laughter wasn't over something evil, but rather something pure.
"This...this dad thing is sort of new to me. So, um...Do -- do you two have any questions that you wanna ask? Don't let my status as a legend hold you guys back. Now just...fire away" Lucifer seemed pretty genuine with his words, but Jenna would never be able to trust this man, the devil.
"Why does everyone hate you?" Jenna smirked slightly to herself at her twins blunt question. "Huh" Castiel tilted his head to the side, waiting for Lucifer to answer. "Wow, he just got right to the -- right to the point" Lucifer commented to Castiel before getting ready to answer his son's question.

"That's good. That's good Good question. Um...So you've both, uh, probably heard the stories. Right? Anything ugly happens, any evil befalls the world, it's my fault. Fake news" Castiel tried to interrupt. "And that's not entirely tr--" Lucifer then took his turn to interrupt Castiel.
"Well, I mean, yes, I have done things that I am not entirely proud of. I have led the occasional soul to ruin. This is true. But, Jack, Jenna, it's because humans are so messed up. They're... they're so willing to be led" Jenna glared at Lucifer, digging her nails into the palm of her left fist in an attempt to stay calm.
"Our mother was human" Jenna spat, Lucifer turned to her in hopes of being able to connect more. While Jack seemed willing to try and connect, Jenna seemed to hate him. It's one of the things they, unfortunately, had in common, they both disliked their fathers.
"Awesome lady. Incorruptible. Not like that. You know, great kisser. And, uh, lost my virginity to her" Lucifer caught Castiel's glare, the angel shaking his head. He didn't want the twins to hear that about their mother, he didn't even know if Sam gave them the talk or if they even knew what it was.
"No? Too soon?" Lucifer fixed his gaze back onto the twins. "I mean, the point is...humans are not perfect. They're hardwired to fall. And when they do, they need a fall guy" Lucifer pointed at himself, still wearing the cuffs.
"That's a vast oversimplification" Castiel corrected, annoying Lucifer. "Okay, so true or false, Cas -- um, for almost, like, ever, I've been locked away in a Cage?" Castiel was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond in a way that wouldn't make Lucifer seem good.
"Yes" Castiel answered. "True! It's true. So how did I do all this evil for all these centuries, I wonder?" Castiel rolled his eyes at Lucifer's antics. "Who locked you up?" Jenna rose an eyebrow, wondering how Lucifer would explain that. She knew the story after reading the Supernatural books written by God himself, but how would Lucifer word it for his own benefit.
"My dad got angry 'cause I told the truth. See, he loved humans so much, he couldn't see their flaws. And I told him about it, and he got mad. He got -- he felt like I was...personally dumping on his masterpiece, and so he kicked me out. No time-out, no "go in the corner", you know, anything like that. Just ...gone, banished. And yes, as Cas says, I have done some bad things. I had my reasons, and I just want the opportunity to get better. Doesn't everybody? Don't you two?".
While Lucifer's words seemed to get to Jack, Jenna was unphased. When she noticed Castiel was going to leave to get the Winchester's, she sent him a telepathic message, letting him know that she would watch over Jack to make sure Lucifer wouldn't hurt or corrupt him.
"Okay, well, getting an extra 25 through that rift, that might not be possible" Dean was telling Mary when Castiel arrived. "Cas, hey. Any update on Jack and Jenna?" Sam asked, the Winchester's attention fully on the angel who was basically a Winchester.
"They're back" Dean noticed the desperate look for help on the angel's face. "Great, where are they?" Sam asked. "They're with Lucifer" The group got into gear, Castiel filling them in on what Jenna told him before he left.
Lucifer, Jenna, and Jack were still in the same location. Jack and Lucifer sat on the step while Jenna stood next to her brother, making sure she was calm enough to fight if needed and making sure she wasn't focusing on his soul.
"So, I want you two to think about this. Your Grandfather is God. Think about that, of all the powerful families in history. Forget the Tudors, Trumps, Jackson Five. We're numero uno" Jenna held back the urge to roll her eyes as she had seen Castiel and the brothers do so many times. "What's he like? God?" Jenna sighed in relief when she heard Dean yelling at them to get their attention.
"I told you no talking!" Dean pointed at Lucifer. "And I told you no listening!" He gestured to Jack. "Jenna's the only one with common sense!" Jack stood up, ready to protest. "Dean, he's in chains" Jack pointed out.
"His mouth isn't. Shoulda gagged him" Dean glared at Lucifer, Castiel stood near Jenna. "No, I need to know about my powers, my family besides Jenna" Jack didn't include Jenna in on it, knowing full well that Jenna was only there to keep an eye out for him.
"Jack, we are your family. We've been protecting you and Jenna. We've been honoring your mother's wishes. We're your family" Castiel corrected. "Jack, you have no idea who Lucifer really is" Sam said in a softer tone, recalling when Jenna confronted him over what Lucifer did to him and knew she would be okay.
"And I never will unless I talk to him" After noticing the pleased look on Lucifer's face, Jenna knew it was time for her to intervene. "Jack" Jenna snapped, glowing her nephilim eyes at her brother. Silence filled the group as they watched the stare down going on between the twins.
"Jenna! He's my father, your father" Sam realized Jenna could get too worked up from her powers and moved to her side despite Dean trying to stop him. Jenna felt a familiar hand on her shoulder, calming down once she realized it was Sam and turned her eyes back to normal. Jenna knew she couldn't change Jack's mind even if he knew everything that Lucifer did, Jack always believed in redemption, especially in family. If she couldn't change his mind, then she would just have to wait until Lucifer screwed up and pick up the pieces.

Virtuous Sons
