Lunch Time...
Lucifer was very disappointed that the 3-D model and the video weren't marked immediately.
"What's wrong with him?" Hiro asked, seeing Lucifer was in a bad mood.
"Nothing," Athena said eating her food. "He's just disappointed that the teachers didn't mark the assignments immediately."
"Like a baby not getting its candy," Apollo said, making fun of Lucifer, jokingly poking him.
His hand gets slapped away, and the spot he poked has turned a bit red like a rash. "Why do always forget that it burns," Lucifer said scratching his face a bit.
"Sorry," Apollo said.
"That's weird," Hiro said. "You seem to have a weird skin reaction whenever Apollo touches you," he said worriedly. "Do you have an allergy I'm not aware of?"
"Yeah," Lucifer replies scratching behind his ear. "I'm allergic to a..." he snaps his finger pretending that he is trying to remember what he is allergic to while he looks at Athena and Artemis for help.
"Lavender oil," Artemis said. "Apollo bought this expensive skin care pack, and the cream has lavender oil in it," she explained almost immediately, lying without blinking.
Hiro gasped. "My scent is lavender," he said.
"No it isn't that," Lucifer said in a forced tone realizing what he had said. "It's not the lavender oil in his cream, it's the sandalwood oil in his cream that allergic to," he said instead.
'Seriously,' Rosemarie and Athena thought at the same time.
"Oh," Hiro said completely believing it. "You really should get something for that then," he said being concerned.
'How is he this gullible?' Rosemarie thought, almost horrified at how he believed him so easily.
"By the way, I'm inviting Rosemarie over to my place," Lucifer said. "Do you want to come?" he asked.
"Yes!" Hiro said unhesitant. He also played with his fingers a bit nervously asking. "Teach me how to fight, like you did during that mall incident and like how you did against Xavier!" he said.
Lucifer's eyes widened. 'He still remembers the mall incident?' he thought. 'This must be because of the Hero's influence on him,' he was a bit irritated by this.
Rosemarie's reaction wasn't as obvious as Lucifer's but she too was surprised. 'He too remembers!' she thought almost excitedly.
Hiro notices Lucifer's expression is wrong. "Can I not learn?" he asked sadly.
"It's not that," Lucifer said shaking his head. "I don't think you'll be able to learn from me, I'm actually a horrible teacher," he said.
"You can't be that bad," Hiro said.
Lucifer laughs nervously remembering when he was trying to teach an old acquaintance of his how to summon Hell's fire using magic and how he failed in teaching him and got impatient with him. He was quite fun when he was still alive.
'I wonder if I can find his reincarnation somewhere,' he thought absentmindedly.
"Phoenix wouldn't be able to teach you right," Athena said agreeing with him.
Lucifer snaps out of his thoughts when he hears Athena say this. He looked a bit insulted, but he wasn't going to argue with her since he said so himself.
"I can teach you how to fight though," Athena said pointing at herself. "I'm probably better than Phoenix over who expects you to be able to throw a proper punch."
Lucifer found himself nodding in agreement. "It can't be that bad," Hiro said.
"No, let the person who is an expert in teaching, teach you," Lucifer said desperately.
Hiro nodded looking a bit upset. "Don't be sad, Hiro," Lucifer said in a soft, comforting voice. "I just don't want to Xavier come after with a flaming sword because I accidentally killed the love of his life when I tried training him."
Hiro still looked a bit sad, then began sniffling a bit.
Lucifer was weirded out at first. 'Is he about to cry? Why?' He sighed then he said, "When you learn the basic stuff from Athena, I'll teach you somethings I know," he said.
Hiro smiled happily, his mood changing almost immediately. "That's great," he said.
"You were able to change your expression very quickly," Lucifer said, looking a bit terrified.
"Why do you look so terrified?" Apollo said. "You do it all the time."
"No, I do not," Lucifer said in a high-pitched voice.
"Yes, you do," Hiro and Artemis said at the same time, then they smiled at each other.
"Especially around Augustus," Apollo said rolling his eyes.
Almost everyone around the table nodded, except for Rosemarie because she had no idea what they were talking about.
After school, Rosemarie had to call her mother to ask her if she could go to stay with Phoenix to which she agreed. Not surprising though, her mother has always wanted to get a connection to nobility, she's been a lot more desperate after she found out Rosetta worked for the second prince of the Empire.
She became even harder on them on a few things because she wanted them to be perfect in case they got invited over by His Highness or his fiancé. 'How does Roger still care for someone who only wants to use us as tools for fame and wealth?' she thought.
This is why she keeps her ability from her mother, who knows what she'll do with her ability, probably forcing her to change her course to computer science or programming.
"We are here!" Lucifer sang happily.
"Your voice is so bad," Apollo said.
"Shut up," Lucifer growls at him.
'This place is so big,' Rosemarie thought as the gates to the house opened. 'It looks like a mansion from all those romance movies.'
