[Rachel Roth - Raven / POV.]
[Injustice World.]
I stepped through the portal with Lucifer, finding myself in an unfamiliar place. The walls were lined with rich mahogany paneling, and the air carried the scents of expensive perfumes with a hint of something else underneath it all. It didn't take me long to realize the place I found myself in was a bar of some kind.
"Welcome to Lux, or a version of it anyways," Lucifer said, gesturing to the room. Specifically to the wall behind the bar, one that was lined with bottles of expensive-looking liquor.
Before I could ask him what I was doing here, I heard a voice call out from the shadows. "Who's this brat?"
Lucifer chuckled and stepped forward, introducing me. "This is Raven, Raven; this is Mazikeen."
The figure who had spoken stepped into the light, revealing a young, beautiful woman with flawless, medium-dark skin, a slim but sexy, model-like build, and gorgeous long dark hair. Or that would say anyone who couldn't see behind her facade, for the real her was a mutilated demon disfigured beyond recognition.
And if her expression was anything to go by, she knew I could see her true form. Just as I knew, she knew by just looking at me that I wasn't completely human.
Mazikeen smiled, and her eyes seemed to sparkle. "I like you," she said as she opened a beer behind the bar.
I nodded before turning to Lucifer. "Where are we? Where's David? The portal was supposed to bring me to him."
Lucifer smirked in a playful manner. "And it did. You are currently in the same universe as him."
I didn't know why, but I felt something was very wrong with this.
I could feel my bones chilling at the very thought.
"With a lock of her hair, we should be able to cast a spell powerful enough to locate him," Lucifer continued with a child-like smile. "After that, is all a matter of finding your boyfriend."
I nodded. A lock of hair from Dinah should work to find David's location, as it would connect on a spiritual level with him through their familiar connection. "Then, what are we waiting for?"
"We'll leave in a few. Just let me finish my drink," Lucifer said with a wink.
I sighed, knowing that I had no other option but to wait until he was done with his drink. For even though he considered my mission nothing but a game for his amusement, he was still a very valuable ally and the strongest being I have ever come across.
If anything, his presence would serve to deter others from trying to attack us.
"Don't worry, girl; Lucifer might be a big child, but he always fulfills his part of the deal," Mazikeen said reassuringly. "In the meantime, want something to drink?"
I shook my head. "I don't drink."
"Blasphemy!" Lucifer gasped dramatically. "Alcohol is the only good thing humans have done."
"That and torture," Mazikeen added with a smirk.
I said nothing, deciding to meditate while I waited for Lucifer to finish his drink. Soon, I would see David again, and when that happened, all of this would be over.

I wonder why it feels like a lie when I think that now.
