"So, wait…you're telling us that GOD, the creator of the entire freaking universe…has a sister?!"

God chuckled at Linda's reaction. "It takes both darkness and light to balance creation, my daughter, and while I contained the light, Amara was the darkness. We created the universe together".

"But Father," Raguel asked, "why have we never been told of this aunt before now?".

"My sister is rather, chaotic," God sighed, "she tends to wonder whereas I prefer to stay in one spot. She also wasn't too thrilled when my wife showed up, feeling as though our bond was going to be broken by including someone else. Not to mention, she was rather jealous that my wife had the ability to create things on her own, whereas my sister and I have always had to work together. The fact is, I haven't seen nor heard from Amara since Michael and Lucifer were newborn fledglings".

"Then how do you know she'll come here?" Chloe sniffed.

"If there is one constant in this world, it's that if I truly need Amara…she will come to me".

Lucifer couldn't stop staring at the woman holding his daughter. For a brief moment, he nearly thought he was seeing Charlotte again. But the former attorney was tucked safely into Heaven…and she definitely could not speak Enochian.

"Mum? Is that really you?".

"Hello, my Lightbringer," Goddess answered with a smile, "I'm so glad to see you".

"Is there any particular reason you've once again assumed the form of Charlotte Richards?".

"Well, I needed a body to enjoy certain aspects of my creation," she told him, "besides, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to reunite with these supreme hindquarters".

Yep, that was definitely his mother, alright.

"Not that it isn't pleasant to see you, Mother, but where exactly are we?".

"Well, when you sent me into that void to create my own universe, I decided to recreate Eden," she beamed, "minus humans of course".

"Right, and the reason for the big mansion in the middle of the Garden is…".

"Well, I had to have somewhere to plug in my Espresso machine," Goddess said as though it was obvious, "I like things simple, son, not primitive".

Lucifer rolled his eyes at that. "Yes, well, if you could just hand me back my daughter, I'll be heading home".

"But you just got here! Surely, you wouldn't deprive me of a little time with my grandchild," she said as she rubbed noses with Lily, "you like being with Nana, don't you?".

Lily giggled at her grandmother and snuggled further into Goddess's shoulder. Lucifer was trying to figure out what form of the Twilight Zone he'd just been dropped in. On Earth, his mother had been nothing short of conniving, bitter, and a little broken. But here, she seemed to be the Mum he used to know, the one she was before everything went wrong.

He didn't know what to think of that.

"How did we get here, anyway?".

The Goddess gave him a confused look. "I'm not really sure, son, I only noticed the cracks after I opened Purgatory".

"Why the bloody hell would you willingly open Purgatory?!".

"I think it's better if someone else explains that" she said as eyes flashed briefly.

There was the familiar sound of flurrying feathers, then an angel landed in front of Lucifer that made his eyes bug out. She was a near identical copy to Ella Lopez, except she had a large streak of white amongst her raven hair, and russet-colored wings.

"Lucifer, I'd like you to meet your baby sister, Elaine".

"You're Lucifer?! It's so awesome to meet you!" she squealed before tackling him.

"Dear Dad, you even hug like Miss Lopez!" Lucifer said trying to pry his sister off of him, "Why did you make an angel that resembled her?".

"Of the few humans I actually liked, I found myself missing that irritatingly positive little forensics girl," Goddess mused, "I should have made one of my darling Daniel. How is he, by the way?".

"Dead….and believe me, mother, towards the end he was not so darling," he pointed out as finally managed to escape Elaine's clutches, "I hope you're prepared to explain to Michael why he suddenly has a sister that looks like his girlfriend".

"You found Michael?!"

Lucifer had forgotten how out of the loop his mother was. "Right, Mum, Elaine, you two might want to sit down. This is going to be a long conversation".

"So, where will be calling aunty Amara from, Father?" Michael asked.

"Here will be sufficient, my sister never was overly fond of the Silver City".

"She sounds like Lucifer," Chloe mused.

God gave her a sly grin, "Now you know where he gets it from".

He stood in the center of the living room, his flashing the colors of various galaxies. A few minutes later, a black mist descended onto the balcony, and filled up the living area. When the smoke cleared, a pale woman, with auburn hair, wearing a long black dress, was standing among them.

Amara turned to God and gave him a look of sheer exasperation.

"Alright, little brother, what did you screw up this time?".

The Goddess was stunned by the amount of information her son had thrown at her. "So, your father not only gave you passes back to the Silver City, but he made that Detective and her offspring immortal?".

"Yes, he did…which really doesn't line up with your whole 'he was going to destroy me' spiel".

"I'm sorry for lying about that," she told him as she looked down at the snoozing cherub in her lap, "I was so angry at your father that I just wanted to twist the knife in deeper. I'm actually glad you two have made up".

"I appreciate that, Mum, but now tell me…why did you open purgatory and what does Elaine here have to do with it?".

"It's because of this," Elaine said as she pulled Azrael's blade from her belt.

"Bloody hell!" Lucifer jumped up, "what are you doing with that thing?!".

"Relax, bro, I'm not going to stab you," Elaine giggled, "I used this to get into Purgatory!".

"Again, why did either of you think that was a good idea?".

"Because," his mother stated, "we discovered that the blade hadn't been obliterating souls at all…it was merely sending them to the in-between. So, Elaine used it to open the portal so I could draw one of the souls back out and put them into a new body".

Lucifer was confused as to what kind of soul his mother would possibly want to bring back, then it clicked….

Uriel.

"Mum, are you saying that you…." He didn't get to finish as another person stepped out onto the patio and caused him to freeze.

"Hello, Brother".
