(Hope's Pov)
When Lucas contacted me it was like a beacon of hope. Although he was in Hell he was still alive. I just wondered how was he? But knowing him I was sure that he was safe, I just wanted to get to Lucifer as soon as I could. I will be able to see him. I will finally be able to free him. I will finally make things right.
But I was unsure about what I wanted. Even though I wanted him. I just couldn't bring myself to accept what I wanted. Aunt Rebekha had told me that everyone deserves happiness, even me. But my happiness will come at this cost I didn't know.
But I decided that I was going to see things through however bad they may be. We were in the car and we were driving towards L.A. After a gruesome 19 hour drive we finally reached L.A. My aunt Rebekha looked at me and asked "Do you know where we need to go?"
I turned to her and looked on my phone at the address of the club that Luca's dad owned. I said "He said his dad owned a club in L.A. called the Lux, maybe he will be there?" I got the address and we drove to Lux.
—————————————————
When we entered the Pub it was closed, which is not that odd for normal clubs but according to Lucas, this place is always filled with people. We walked down the stairs and we saw a man cleaning up the place, he had dark black hair and was wearing a vermillion suit, he looked a little too well dressed for this job.
We then walked up to him and he didn't even look up and said "Sorry ladies bar is closed."
I walked up to him and said, "We need your help."
He then looked at me and smiled and said "You are Hope, aren't you?"
My Aunt looked at me and I looked at him and said "Yes, but how do you know me?"
He smiled and said "Well, my son talked a lot about you when he was here, it was annoying. Where is he? He hasn't called me in a while."
I looked at him and said "He is Hell and we need your help to get him back."
He looked at me and had a look of horror on his face and stopped what he was doing and asked "How long had he been there?"
I looked at him and said "27 days, why?"
He had a real terrifying look on his face, he got his jacket and got out of the counter and then said "Follow me."
We got into the elevator and went up, he was fuming with anger, we reached the balcony and he started to pray and we were confused as to what he was doing. I was about to ask something but then an angel descended, he had dark wings and was wearing a white robe.
Lucifer turned around and he then punched the guy in the face but it looked like nothing happened to him. The guy had a sympathetic look on his face and said "Lucy, you need to calm down."
Aunt Rebekka said "This feels just like home." I just looked at her and she said "Oh, come on…" I just shaked my head.
Lucifer looked at him and said "Calm down? Calm down? My son has been there for ages, when were you going to tell me Amenediel? And how did this happen in the first place?"
Amenediel looked at Lucifer and said "It was his decision, Lucy. He saw that you were finally happy and he didn't want to ruin that."
He then turned to me and looked at me and asked "How did this happen?"
I told him the whole thing and he sighed and said "My son is a dumbass. Giving your name to a… " He then sighed and looked at me and said "Come closer."
I came closer and he said "Now, join your hands and pray to him. Use his name."
I asked him "Lucas?"
He then walked over to the bar and grabbed a napkin and wrote something on it and then gave it to me and said "This is his name. Do not read it outloud or in prayer."
I opened the napkin and read Gladiel confused and asked "Will it work?" He nodded and then I prayed to him.
Then I heard the flapping of wings but there was also a sound of crackling of fire. I opened my eyes and I saw him. He looked a bit old. Not a lot though. He had a beard. His hair was longer and he was wearing an all black suit.
He looked at me and I walked up to him and I placed my hands on his face and he smiled and said "How are you, Hope?"

(Lucas's Pov)
I have been living in hell for a while now. When Josie casted me out I could have gone to Heaven and stayed there but, I can't handle living amongst those judgemental pricks. Hell on the other hand is a place where I can do anything I want.
Uncle came to visit me from time to time but then after a few years I told him not to come here anymore, no need to waste your time on me. He had better things to do. I also told him not to tell anyone where I was. It was not like he would go out of his way to tell anyone as well.
I was sitting on my throne and was just looking over the city that I created, I looked back on my achievements but to me they meant nothing more than something that I did when I was free.
While I was sitting on my throne. I looked at the city that I built. When I arrived, demons used to live like shit. Which I didn't get but It turns out they just needed some good leaders.
I killed all the old kings, the seven princes are also gone.I made the people loyal to me the new kings. They are running things now. I have achieved so much yet I feel so empty. I have now run out of things to do in Hell. What am I supposed to do now?
Someone came from behind me and tapped on my shoulder and handed me a glass of Bourbon and said "Thinking about Earth again?"
I looked at her and smiled and she asked "So did she get the message this time?"
I sighed and said "She did but I don't know…"
She turned towards me and smiled and said "You know I wish nothing more than your happiness. But you can't truly be happy Lou. Unless you are with them."
I looked at her and she looked back and said "You want me to call you the Forgotten?"
I scoffed and said "What if I go back and I mess things up even more?"
She chuckled and said "That is likely Lou. But you can't just sit around and do nothing… they need you. "
I just looked at her and said "I wish I was this optimistic." Then I got up and said "Now, let's look at how others are doing."
She bowed and said "As you wish Lord."
But then something happened. I heard Hope's voice, I couldn't believe it was her and she said "Gladiel, please listen to my prayers. I need your help." I looked at Lev in disbelief and she looked at me and said "It looks like she finally got the message huh?"
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard her. I looked at Lev and she looked at me and said "You are going home Lou."
Tears came from my eyes, after a millenia I will be able to leave here I will be able to meet with Hope and maybe now I will be able to sort things out with Josie as well. I hugged her and said "Thank you, thank you Lev. I will never be able to repay you."
She then said "You have done enough for us Lucas. We would not be here if it wasn't for you. This is the least we can do."
Then I looked at her and said "Call me when you need me, I will be there."
She nodded and said "Now go, they are waiting."
I smiled and then I opened my wings, the wings were fiery red engulfed in an everburning flames. I then took off at a great speed and I went through the portal. I was now finally able to enter Earth. I will be able to see them again.
————————————————————
I appeared in front of them, I saw Hope praying and then she opened her eyes and saw me and she looked at me, she had a look of disbelief in her eyes. She walked closer to me and then placed her hands on my face, to see if I was real. She had tears in her eyes. I held her hand and said "How are you?"
She chuckled and we came closer and our foreheads were touching. We were about to kiss but then Father pulled me away and said "Not so fast Romeo."
I looked at him and he looked pissed. I looked at him and I asked "Hey Father how are you?" I looked at Uncle and pleaded him with my eyes and he just backed up. My uncle sucks.
He said "Let me tell you how I am." He then beat me up and I got to hear an earful from him. Honestly I was just glad that I got to see him again. He said "Why on dad's name you revealed your name to a human? Are you dumb?"
I said "I didn't know that she was going to do that."
He then looked at me and said "Leave that aside. Why didn't you tell me that you were in hell? You could have easily sent a minion, Beelzebub could have easily helped you."
I didn't look at him and said "I am sorry father you were happy I didn't want to ruin it."
He looked at me and said "How can I be happy if MY SON IS IN HELL!"
I sighed and said "I am sorry, father."
He then said "Honestly, Lucas. What is wrong with you? What if they tried to kill you?"
I wanted to say that they did but I didn't want my ass kicking to continue so I just sat in silence and he vented. He then looked at me and said "Look, I don't know if you see me as your father or not but you are my son. I want you to come to me if you have any problems and I don't want to hear this "I didn't want to trouble you or the next time the level of ass kicking will be hellish." He then pulled me in and hugged me.
I said "I promise you I will tell you next time."
He then said "Now, do what you were doing."
I then walked up to Hope and I said "How are you?"
She smiled and said "Better now that you are here."
I was truly happy to see her again and I said "I missed you so much, Hope."
She nodded and I leaned in and kissed her. All that pain and suffering of isolation of being in Hell for about a thousand years, not being able to see her and touch her just vanished. In that moment only she and I were real the rest of the world just blurred into the background.
I looked at her and she showed me her most beautiful smile. She had tears in her eyes. Maybe I can still set things right and then I kissed her forehead and I said, "Let's go home."
I then opened my wings and I slashed my wings and a portal was opened to home. I then turned to my father and said "Oh father here is the sword." I then gave the sword to father, he got a closer look and just smiled and said "How did you even do this?"
I said "I had time… a lot of time."
Hope then asked "What about my Aunts."
I turned around and asked "Do you guys want to come with us or should I portal you to New Orleans?"
They said "New Orleans." I then opened a portal to New Orleans and they said goodbyes and both of them said "Take care of your princess."
I assured them that I will not mess up like last time. This time I will keep my word. They then went through the portal. I said my goodbyes to Uncle and Father. We went through and we were in the principal's office. Prof. Dorian was surprised and confused and I told him where I was and everything and then I asked him to call Lizzie.
