[David Lance POV]

With an unsteady alliance set with Batman, I began to play my next steps to deal with the situation I had created.

Even though Batman had given me his word, I had no assurance things would play out the way I wanted them to, meaning I had to tread lightly and watch my every step.

Beyond that. There was still much to do, much to resolve, and little time to do.

In fact, there was so little time in my table that it was impossible to deal with the situation by myself. nove(l)bi(n.)com

I had the Lanterns to recruit, or what was left of them, and the Shazam situation.

Ideally, if I had the time I would invest myself in dealing with each situation, but that wasn't the case, meaning I had no choice but to break this task with Raven.

I would deal with the Lanterns, and she would deal with the Shazam situation.

While I honestly didn't want to break my path from Raven's so soon, I knew it was the only way to solve this situation as quickly and efficiently as possible.

As much as I hated it, I needed to be pragmatic. Now more than ever, I had to stay focused and in control of my emotions, especially the ones that wanted me to just be by her side.

I knew very well that any misstep could mean disaster for not just myself, but everyone involved.

I owed this universe that much.

....

Oh God, he's being serious.

"I don't have a choice do I?" I asked.

"Smart boy, want a cookie?" Lucifer smirked.

If I ever meet God, I will ask for the power to bitch slap Lucifer.

"Fine, if you want to help, help Raven solve the Shazam situation," I said, giving Lucifer a tired look.

"Aye ay nope, I thought I could use that phrase but it sounds wrong," Lucifer chuckled before turning his gaze back on me. "Don't worry, I will see it through or my name isn't Lucifer Morningstar."

I suppose that's reassuring, after he doesn't lie.

"Thanks," I nodded, only to notice Raven stare at me with a piercing look. "...What?"

Oh I had sent Lucifer with her I feel I will come to regret this at a later date, but that's a problem for future me, present me does not give enough fucks to deal with Lucifer for more than it absolutely required.

"I read your thoughts right now, and I must say, I am DEEPLY offended and horny, the last one is completely unrelated to your thoughts, that's just me being a little rascal," Lucifer said, summoning a drink to his hand.

"You will pay for this," Raven muttered.

Future me will, not present me.

"Anywho, let's get moving, Windows 30 and Dark Tomato cutter are threats we need to take care of, and time is of the essence!" Lucifer said, grabbing Raven by the arm. "Besides, Raven, we need to start talking about your lingerie arrangements, you really don't want your boyfriend seeing your everyday underwear unless he's into depression, and then again maybe he is but that's a topic for another time!"

"David I will KILL YOU FOR THI-" And before Raven could finish her sentence, Lucifer teleported away with her, leaving me to wonder how much future me would suffer for this little mistake.

Oh well, no time to ponder. I have a mission to complete.
