Adam leaned his cheek on his hand at the bar, a drink in his other hand as he lazily looked at the drink menu in front of him.

This was a waste of time, he can't believe that he let his friends talk him into coming here. He knows that most people don't meet the love of their life at a bar but a booty call would be fucking nice. He hasn't gotta laid in months!

It sucks, he gets dumped on fucking valentines day and then he can't seem to find a date of any kind afterwards.

So here he was, shooting his shot at a bar with his friends who were hitting it off with guys and he wasn't.

"One whiskey please."

The voice was smooth and made Adam glance over, his breath caught when the blonde man sat down next to him. He was on the shorter side but that was fine, Adam could dance with a short King.

What drew him in was his striking blue eyes and his charming smile.

Lucifer glanced over before turning his full attention to Adam, smiling all the more as he took in the beauty next to him.

Lucifer: This seat taken?

Adam smiled: Not at all.~ I'm Adam.

He held out his hand and the blonde took it and placed a kiss softly on the back of his knuckles.

Lucifer: Hello Adam, I'm Lucifer. But you can call me Lu.

Adam: Nice to meet you, Lu.~

The bartender came over with his drink looking Lucifer over.

Bartender: You got ID bud? You look a little fresh in the face.

Lucifer gulped: Yeah of course, hold on.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out his ID handing it to that bartender who looked it over, looking up at Lucifer and then at the card again.

Bartender: Year 2000 huh?

Lucifer: Yup! That's me, just turned 26 last month.

The man grunted and handed him back his card and slid the drink over. Lucifer took a sip and turned back to Adam.

He gave him a wink when he said it.

Adam didn’t know why but it actually made him blush and……well…….he giggled.

Not super loudly or in the stereotypical annoying way he’s seen girls do for him before but still he giggled.

Which only served to turn his face into the same shade as pepperoni.

Lucifer however merely smirked at this reaction, and scooted his chair closer.

Lucifer: You didn’t answer my question.~ Cmon tell me, surely a pretty flower such as yourself should surrounded somewhere to help hydrate your petals.

Adam: Well, well aren’t you the plant expert.~

Adam purred leaning closer to him.

Lucifer shrugged: Wouldn’t say expert, I just seem to know what particular flowers need.

Adam: Hmm, and what about me? What do you think I need?

Lucifer: Well in my professional opinion you need a long overdo supply of vitamin me.

Adam: Oh do I?

Adam: Funny, good looking, and charming, where have you been all my life?~

Lucifer leaned in more: I'm right here beautiful.~

-

Adam: Ahh! Oh shit!

He held onto Lucifer for dear life as he fucked his brains out in Adam's apartment on his bed. He was so full of energy and passion the likes that Adam had never experienced before.

He cupped Lucifer's face and kissed him as they moved together and it didn't take long before they both reached their climax. Lucifer smiled and kissed Adam sweetly and slowly.

Lucifer: Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?

Adam giggled a little: You have most recently.

Lucifer: Well it's true, you're very radiant.

They lay there together enjoying the after glow of their sex session.

Adam felt his face warm, not out of lust but out of……affection? Joy?

He couldn’t explain it but he was simply so happy at the thought that this guy wanted him more than just sex that sent his heart all a flutter.

Adam: S, Sure that um……sounds great! I’d like that….you know…..t, to go out sometime.

Dear God why did he sound so nervous?!?!

Why and how was this man making him nervous when he has seen his dick already!

As well as his fucking pussy!!!

But here this guy was making him as shy as a school girl over a simple date…..

Well to be fair he was a pretty hot guy……and smart from what he could tell……and sweet……and dear God did he have a nice ass.

Adam was brought out of his internal monologue by Lucifer chuckling, causing more of his face to burn.

Lucifer: Cat got your tongue sweetness?

Adam: W, Well I just-

Lucifer: It’s fine I’m only teasing, anyways I wish I could stay but I have to get going.

Adam: O, Oh……so soon?

Lucifer nodded sadly as he got out of the bed and searched the room for his clothes.

Adam nodded: Okay.

He wished that he could stay, but work gets in the way and he knows when you have to be up early. When Lucifer was gone the bed felt so cold....

-

A week went by and Adam finally texted Lucifer and they were going to meet up for coffee.

Over the text, Lucifer said there was something important he needed to tell him.

That never sounded good.

When Lucifer came to the coffee shop Adam smiled and they hugged before sitting down with their drinks.

Lucifer: Hey dove.~

Adam blushed: Dove?

Lucifer: You're beautiful like a morning dove.

How sweet.~

Adam: That's so sweet...... What did you want to talk to me about?

Lucifer looked anxious and a little guilty, god was he secretly married with kids!?

Lucifer: Okay, I'm going to level with you. I really like you a lot and that's why I need to be honest with you. When I went to the bar I just wanted to have a drink or two and go home. I never expected to meet someone as wonderful as yourself.

Adam: Okay..... Are you breaking up with me?

Lucifer took a deep breath: No! No..... But you might break up with me..... And because of that I don't want our relationship to be based on a lie..... I lied to you that night. While my birthday is actually in November I didn't just turn 26.

Adam relaxed a little: Oh.... Are you older?

Lucifer: ..... No. I'm younger.

Adam: ..... How much younger?

Lucifer: Please don't be mad........ But.....

He whispered it and Adam didn't hear.

Adam: What?

Adam: ……….What was that?

Lucifer cleared his throat as he said the words again: I…….just turned 19.

Adam: One more time please?

Lucifer: ……Nineteen, I just turned that age.

Adam’s face twisted into a look that one could describe as shock and denial mixing its way onto his expression.

Adam: ………I, I’m sorry but I could have sworn that you said-

Lucifer: I’m nineteen, that night at the bar was my nineteenth birthday.

Adam: Yeah…..that’s what I was afraid you were gonna say.

Adam groaned as he lowered his head onto the table while folding his arms over himself in a desperate attempt to hide from the world.

How could he have been so fucking stupid?!?

The one guy that seemed to not be a total lame ass that had an idea of what to do in bed as well as seemed like a total dream turned out to be a nightmare.

Lucifer watched on in the scene with his own embarrassment on the table.

He knew that Adam wouldn’t be happy but didn’t think his reaction would be this bad.

Adam: Not helpful.

Lucifer: Sorry.......

Adam: ..... The fuck am I supposed to do now? So when you said you had this "important meeting"?

Lucifer: ..... I had to go to class at the university here in town.

Adam: Oh my god...... Where the hell do you even live? With your parents?

Lucifer: ..... Yes.

He couldn't believe this.....

Lucifer gently reached out and touched his hand tenderly: Adam please, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you.

Adam: Please tell me I didn't take your virginity.

Adam sighed as he reclined back in his seat, his hands going over his face.

Lucifer: …….Adam?

Adam remained quiet.

Lucifer: Addie?

Nothing that time either.

Lucifer: Mourning dove?

That got a peak from behind the fingers trying to shield himself away.

Lucifer: Adam, I really am sorry.

Adam began to pull his hands from his face as he let out a long, long, long exhale.

So long in fact it nearly happened for a full minute.

When it finally ended Adam inhaled for a few seconds then let it go along with his words.

Adam: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay…….okay.

Lucifer: Okay what?

Adam: What you did, lying sucked, sucked more than….sucking dicks. Lucifer: Which you manage to do just fine.~

@talesfromawannabewriter

The VoxTech Life Foundation was known for many things, at the current moment it was known for going into space to find life on another plant should humans on Earth need to leave.

But when the ship with specimens coming back crashed it was bad. One of them disappeared but three of them made it back to the labs in the states.

Vincent Wittman had a vision and he was going to make it happen with these creatures.

-

Lucifer snored as he drooled on the pillow only to be awoken by a pillow hitting his face.

Lucifer: Huh? What?

Adam giggled: Wake up sleepy head, you gotta get up for work.

Lucifer rolled over and saw Adam looking stunning in his suit.

Lucifer: Damn.~ Work, right I'll get up.

Adam handed him a coffee and kissed him, Lucifer felt so lucky to have him as his fiance.

Lucifer: Thank you dove.

Adam: No problem, I have court today and you have someone to interview I'm sure.

Lucifer nodded, he was known for his segment on the news for taking down powerful people who couldn't be stopped with the law alone.

He went into his photo gallery and found a picture of him and Adam, before everything went to shit. This was taken when they went on vacation down south in the Carribean.

Venom: He is a fine looking specimen indeed.

Lucifer: He is..... He's stuck by me even though he probably shouldn't have. His mother hates me.

Venom: Most maternal beings don't like their offsprings mates. I see it's no different here.

Lucifer: Nope, not at all.

Venom: Wait. Stop.

Lucifer stopped walking: What is it?

Venom: We have company.

A black SUV pulled up and men in black suits with guns got out.

Lucifer: Property? What property? I didn’t steal anything!

Agent: No need to be coy, we know all about the symbiote.

Shit….

Lucifer: Really sirs, I have no idea whatsoever what you’re talking about.

Another agent stepped forward flashing his large and seemingly very advanced weapon.

Agent 2: We are of course speaking of the symbiote attached to you.

Oh, now he was in deep, deep shit.

The first agent smirked at him taking one step forward: Did you honestly believe you’d be able to get away with something like this?

Agent 2: It’s right out laughable indeed, you steal something possibly the most valuable asset in the world from the most powerful person in the world, and you expected no one to to notice?

Lucifer: ………

Agent: Well, did you?

Lucifer: ……..To be fair I doubt Mr. Whittman is the most powerful there is-

Lucifer screamed as he was sent down by the butt of the gun smashing against his face.

Definitely breaking his nose and maybe even his eye socket from how hard that force was.

Agent: Shut your smart alec mouth up! I don’t want any more shit from you! You’re in enough shit as it. Now give us back Voxtech’s property or else we will be forced to take action.

Lucifer groaned as he lifted his head up: Anymore action and I think you might damn well will kill me.

Venom: Fuck no.

Just then he changed into part Venom and the agents screamed and shot at him, it didn't do anything as he attacked them all. Lucifer couldn't believe that this was real and started to run as they shouted after him.

Lucifer: Holy shit! They're going to kill me!

Venom: They are NOT going to kill you!

The black arm reached out and took out all the agents throwing them into each other.

They were both unaware that they were being watched by the powerful man himself.

-

Vincent watched the footage and was both pissed and impressed.

Vincent: He did it..... He's achieved symbiosis!

His agents came back looking worse for wear.

Agent: Mr. Whittman you don’t understand this…..this man…..thing……it’s powerful.

Agent: Far too powerful to take him down on our own!

Vincent: What the hell do you think our technology is for?! Use the most advanced weapon we’ve got but remember, don’t kill just subdue.

Agent: B, But sir-

Vincent: Don’t but me!

He sharply turned around to glare fiercely at them all.

Vincent: I am not paying you to sit on your asses and do fucking nothing! I pay you to do my bidding, and do you know what that is?

All agents didn’t dare speak.

Vincent: It’s to get back stolen property you dimwits! MY property! And don’t you dare come back until you have him.

Them, or whatever.

His guards nodded before making their way back out to find Morningstar.

Vincent sighed as he leaned against the back of his desk, rubbing his forehead in an exhausted manner.

Adam turned and went right over to him: Luci!? There you are I've been worried sick.

Venom: You were right, he is hot.

Lucifer ignored him for the moment: Sorry..... I got a little caught up.

Lute: Well, you're here now and that's all that matters. We should really do another MRI it looks like you have a large parasite.

Venom: NO MRI!

Lute: ……….

Adam: ………..

Lucifer: ……Guys?

Venom: Next time you might not want to spring it on them like that, you humans seem to be quite sensitive to this sort of stuff.

Lute: Lucifer,

Lucifer: Yes?

Lute: I want you to do something for me.

Lucifer: Okay?

Lute: I want you to go back to your room okay? I need you to lie down, take a good long sleep and maybe take a few extra pills when you wake up.

Lucifer: Why exactly?

Lute: Because……..well……..you promise not to freak out if I tell you?

Lucifer: I might just freak out either way so you should just get it over with.

Lute: I think there's a parasitic worm slowly eating your brain and causing cognitive function interference along with other organs.

Venom: Don't listen to her! I can fix you!

Lucifer flinched when he yelled, Adam went over and placed a hand gently on his shoulder.

Adam: We only want to help. At least lay down?

Lucifer nodded: Y-yeah, okay.....

With Adams help, he was taken to a room and laid down in the bed. It was then that he felt so tired and worn out.

Lucifer: ..... I'm dying.

Venom: You're not dying I will fix you.

Lucifer felt himself tear up as he tried his hardest not to break down.

It wasn’t often nowadays that he heard those words, with Adam and their relationship being on the careful side right now.

But damnit he missed those sweet words, he missed them so much.

Warning: ⚠️ This work contains brutal scenes of murder, gore, and extreme lustful language that in some cases may be seen as misogynistic.

Screams of frustration rang out and bounced off the wall along with the sounds of thrashing as the single individual in the room was doing their utmost best to escape the padded chair they were strapped to.

Agitation was clearly eating away as they felt the uncomfortable sensation from their current bondage.

Inside their minds, and out their mouths in muttered curses, was words of pure hatred and contempt for the ones that put them in this position.

In front of them was a camera where a moment before its button was as dull as a cloudy day, then the red light flashed to life signifying its operational status.

On the other side of the camera, or rather those were watching from their location, observed those on their monitors.

Multiple screens lit up and all of them having different people on them.

Two chairs were placed in front of them watching them with varied expressions. One with dull eyes, the other with intrigue.

Vincent: So, what do you think?

Lilith: You mean those three?

Vincent: Yup.~

Lilith: They don’t seem like anything out of the ordinary.

Vincent: I can assure you Ms. Magne they are more than meets the eye, especially our little bambino.

His eyes gestured over to where their most recent catch was, a male with skin as white as milk, and a rather small frame was picking up the most fuss.

Vincent: It took quite a while to find him, put my men on quite the chase, not to mention gave my head investigator the heart attack of a lifetime when he finally found him. That little shit did not go quietly.

Lilith: Right I heard there was an altercation between the two?

Vincent: Yes, when Altruist found him he had found him inside of a prostitute.

Lilith: Hm, no wonder he picked up a fuss then, it’s not often that I have my way with someone if anyone interrupted that-

Vincent: Oh no, you misunderstood me, Lucifer wasn’t having sex with the woman, in fact she wasn’t even alive when he was found.

Lilith: Then your telling me-

The man chuckled

Sitting up she stretched along with a yawn as she felt all her sore bones pop.

Everything, and she meant everything hurt. That haunted house from the pits of hell itself gave her an intense workout.

And to think there was possible more BS she had to do later on.

All she wanted to do was go back to sleep and pray that she hurt less than when she did before.

But unfortunately her stomach seemed to disagree with that as she felt a rumbling in her belly.

And although she wished to ignore it and continue through with her original plan she knew that wasn’t a good idea.

She hasn’t eaten in over what has got to be at least over a day, maybe more she wasn’t sure.

But she did know that she needed food. And fast.

Getting up from her little bed she went over to her door, maybe she could see if there was maybe something out there.

After all from what she saw on her way into her room the sleep room was more than just simple sleeping, then again it was dark so who knew?

What she did know was that she was going to get something in her belly.

She opened the door and there it was, a hallway. This time not in a house but it was shiny and metallic, like what one would expect in those prisons.

Which wasn’t that far off from this place.

Heading out into there she looked around to find anything but found it mainly empty. That’s when she heard the ittiest bit of chatter one she followed her ears to and found none other than a cafeteria of sorts right in front of her eyes.

She was both relieved and horrified, relieved that there was food here, but horrified because when she looked around her there was people, so many people filling the seats.

And they were just...... Sitting there. Like it was a normal day.

Did.... Did they not go through what she just did? Or were these more survivors and she just couldn't tell.

Her stomach rumbled and she went over and grabbed some food to stop the pain and rumbles. She sat down next to a guy.

The man did not say a word, just simply continued on with his meal as if it were a normal day.

Vaggie: S, Sir?

She tried to get his attention again but all he did was simply get up and walk away to a new table.

Vaggie: What the hell is happening?

She couldn’t help but murmur to herself in worry and wonder.

Was it something she said? Or did he not hear her?

No, no he did hear her she saw for a moment the eyes flickering her way.

And besides even if he didn’t hear her he had to have seen her.

Forget it, forget him, she needed to eat and then later on she can go and find some answers.

“Welcome to the wonderful, spectacular, amazing, magical land of Loo Loo’s Circus! Please watch your step!”

It took everything in Adam not to grimace at the high pitched shrieking voice coming from the speakers the moment he stepped into the place.

The scent of greasy pizza and other fried foods along with the booming sound of video games being played at the loudest setting hit Adam in the face like a grenade.

As eyes roamed all over the area where children ran around doing everything and anything there was to do.

Which was nothing short but everything that a child could do.

Because at the wonderful Loo Loo’s Circus the children should have the most magical of times where there whimsy and bountiful energy were put to the test at this sight with all activities.

Which Adam should know, as the commercial that played that phrase over and over a hundred times, is engrained into his brain.

Shaking his head he focused on the task at hand as he went up to a lady at a booth in the front where red velvet ropes hung from the sides that would allow passageway into the pizzeria.

Adam: Excuse me? I’m here for the interview, for the technician role-

Employee: Oh! You’re the interviwee! So wonderful to see you here!

Adam: Uh……thanks….?

Employee: Hold on just one moment, while I ring the manager!

Adam watched silently as the woman picked up a red phone and dialed into it. And here he believed they didn’t exist anymore.

Employee: Miss Morningstar? …. He’s arrived ma’am……alright then.

She placed the phone down and smiled sweetly at the brunette.

Adam went over and took a seat as he waited, if he wasn't so desperate for a job he wouldn't even consider this place but the night shift pays a good amount.

Which is strange...... Nothing happens at night. How often could someone be trying to break in?

Soon, a young woman with long blonde hair, pale with blue eyes smiled at him. She wore red suit pants, her dress shirt was white with black suspenders and bow tie without the blazer jacket.

Charlie: Hi! You just be Adam, come with me please.

Adam nodded and followed her back to the office. On the walls lining to the office were the drawings that children have drawn over the years and some photos.

One of them was of a girl who looked like Charlie when she was maybe 6 and a man was holding her. Likely her father.

When they got to the office that same photo was in a frame just behind Charlie.

Charlie: Okay! Welcome to Loo Loo's Circus, my name is Charlie, I'll be your head manager and CEO, from your application you're interested in the night shift?

Adam: That's correct. I was looking for a job that worked with my schedule.

Charlie: And that's great! Here at the Circus we're all about being accommodating for our employees shifts. Do you have any experience working security?

Adam nodded: I do, I worked security at the mall here in the city.

Before they decided to do a complete overhaul of their staff. Assholes.

Charlie: Great!

Adam: Sorry, I don't mean to be off topic but who is that?

He pointed over to the photo, Charlie turned and for a moment her smiled wavered. She turned back but her smile was tighter.

Charlie: That's my dad, he created everything you see. He's the founder and the reason we have such a great reputation....... Unfortunately he passed away years ago in a horrible accident.

Adam: Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean anything by it.

Charlie fixed the papers on her desk: No it's okay, you would have found out anyway and it's best you hear it from me. But anyway! On with your interview.

She asked him many questions and Adam answered them with ease and by the time they were done Charlie was pleased and offered him the job! Which he took.

Adam couldn’t help but smile as he sighed right away, without reading any of the clauses within his contract.

Which may have been a stupid move looking back at it but in the moment he couldn’t help but feel as though he won the lottery.

He got the job in only one interview, that wasn’t something everyday.

Much less to someone like him who luck follows like dog shit.

Meaning there wasn’t much that ever did happen he considered good or lucky.

So for him to receive a well paying job where he gets to use two skills he’s good at?

Adam would think that God himself was smiling down at him that day.

Miss Morningstar quickly whisked him away once the paperwork was complete and had him follow her down the hallway where the sounds of children, machines, and chaos in general began to dissipate the further they continued down.

Charlie: So since you’re doing a two part role in our establishment that means separate duties for you. The technician part you don’t have to worry too badly about since we already have a team working together on that, it’s just specific animatronics that need to be looked at after each show.

Adam: Got it.

Charlie: Good, as for the security detail you’ll actually be working alone since we don’t have many people up for that position.

Adam: No?

Adam: There are two doors?

Charlie nodded: Yeah, just makes it quicker if you need to get to one side faster.

She showed him everything in the office and where things were and how they worked.

Charlie: Okay, so these tvs will show you every room in the place. Camera seven is currently down but you still have audio. There's your fan, flashlight, the switches to the doors and this is your uniform.

She handed him a bag that had a security jacket in it with a clearance card so he could get inside.

Adam: Thank you.

Charlie: You're welcome! So the job itself isn't hard. You just have to make sure that no one breaks in, if they do call the police and carefully detain them if you can.

Little did he know that other people would be the least of Adams worries.

-

Adam smiled as he looked in the mirror at himself with his jacket and hat that he had for work. Tonight was his first night and he was ready to make some money!

He clocked in a few minutes before midnight and went to the office turning everything on.

That's when the phone rang.

Adam raised a brow, Charlie never said anything about someone calling.

Adam: Hello?

Adam: Oh yeah hi, you’re the uh, old guy.

Alastor: Names Alastor! And it is nice to hear your voice my good fellow, I’m sure I’d be happier than a clam with a pearl if we met in real life! It’d be an honor to get to train my protege face to face! Unfortunately I’m stuck in a bit of tight place next to the jam so we’ll be doing this training on the phone. I do hope this isn’t too inconvenient for you old chap.

……Was this guy over a hundred old? Or possibly a time traveler from the roaring twenties?

Who the hell actually talks like that anymore?

Apparently this guy as he continued on to speak through his unique pattern of speech.

Alastor: Now as you know this old beauty of a place has been here for decades! It’s seen its fair share of troubles and challenges. So that’s why when you start hearing things in the middle of the night it’s best not to spook you too badly.

Adam: Spook? I don’t get frightened easily.

Alastor’s voice beamed into the phone: Well that’s wonderful to hear! Because I’ll tell ya right now my good sir, when things go bump people tend to allow themselves to let fear take hold of them. It definitely affects the job.

Adam: That why you left?

Alastor: Well, now onto your actual duties. The first night shouldn't be too bad, there are the animatronics on stage, Eve, Lily, and Lucifer.

Adam blinked at the names: Lucifer?

Alastor: Yes! Miss Morningstar named and had him created after the tragic loss of her father. Now, if they leave the stage they will make their way to your office looking for people.

Adam: ...... I'm sorry, what?

Adam: …………..This is a joke right? Their…..those things are animatronics.

Alastor: Highly intelligent animatronics! Ones that require a special kind of hand to guide them and protect them and make sure they don’t cause too much of a ruckus.

Adam: Okay but what I’m wondering is……why? Why the hell can they do that? If you’re not completely sh…..messing with me.

Alastor: I can assure you I am not. You see this robots they were designed to actually serve as guards for the sing and song house back when it first opened.

Adam: Robots…..as security.

He heard of security cameras, but robots acting as head guards to protect the place from intruders?

Now that was new.

Alastor: Why of course! The designers believed that it would help with costs and the like, after all you don’t need to pay a robot money now do you? Well except for maintenance obviously! Hahaha!

He laughed quite loudly into the phone making Adam slightly wince.

Alastor’s voice was mostly quite smooth when he spoke, but his laugh on the other hand?

Sounded like screeching static through a radio.

Alastor: There is one good thing about your…..co workers, sort of speak.

Adam: What’s that?

Adam: Okay.....

Alastor: Which brings me to your power problem! Most power is reserved for during the day, so at night the generator is on. But it's old and you have to converse power. You'll be able to see how much you have left on the left monitor.

Adam looked at the monitor and right now the power was at 99% which was really good.

Alastor: The more doors you shut the more power you use as well as the lights, fan, and monitors themselves. If you run out of power before 6am you have two options. Find a place to hide or try to navigate your way to the generator with your flashlight to refill the gas.

Adam: ....... That both sounds horrible. I'm sensing a but.

Alastor: Yes! But, going out you increases your risk of running into one of the animatronics. Which case you'd have to hide before they see or can get you.

Adam: Not gonna lie man, this is way more-

He looked on the monitor and there was movement.

Alastor: Well just listen to my instructions and follow them to a T and you’ll be right as rain old chap! So long then!

With that Alastor hung up, leaving an unsettled new guard all alone in a building that he was now noticing just how eerie it was.

Adam tapped his fingers along his pants in an un-rhythmic fashion.

His nerves getting the better of him as all around him the darkness seemed to somehow grow.

BUMP!

He gasped at the sound, looking towards the monitors to catch something, anything really.

Suddenly a shadow flew past the camera, oh God! Oh GOD! The robots! They were actually-

Adam shook his head and gave himself a hard slap: Stop it! STOP IT! Get it together Kadmon! It’s nothing! Nothing! Stop letting yourself be a big withering fool!

It was probably just imagination. That’s all…….had to be.

But still according to proper protocol he was liable to go and investigate.

Adam grabbed his flashlight and left his office to check out the sound.

Slowly, he went down the hall not seeing much of anything at first. It was so quiet there Adam could hear his own shoes tapping on the floor with each step.

All the doors were locked, so were the windows, nothing was broken.

Adam: Weird......

"Very weird"

Adam jumped and turned around to see an animatronic standing behind him. It was the Lucifer one and he looked almost human. If it wasn't for his bolts and glowing eyes, Adam would have thought he was a normal guy.

Adam: Holy shit..... Did you say something?

Lucifer smiled more: Why yes I did. You should be in your office.

Adam: I..... Why?

Lucifer slowly turned his head looking behind him into the darkness.

BANG! CRASH!

Adam: What the fuck?! Adam whirled around, craning his head to search everywhere for the mysterious creature that caused the noise.

Lucifer: I believe that is your cue, to run.~

Adam turned back to question the robot when he found himself completely alone once more.

Adam: …..Am I going insane?

He asked himself, because there was no way in hell that a robot came up to talk to him then disappeared as if it didn’t exist.

He must be going mad, or he’s simply tired and anxious since it’s his first shift and he’s imagining things.

Even that odd noise and shadows, yeah that’s it, it’s all in his head.

Perhaps something to nosh on will help him, he always felt better when he had something in his belly.

At least that’s what he told himself as he walked away, not noticing the glowing eyes trailing his every movement.

—

Adam sighed as he leaned back into his chair, taking a bite out of his pizza slice, and moaning slightly at the greasy yet irresistible taste.

He found that there was actually pizza and other foods from the day left out for the night workers in the kitchen, at least that’s what a note he found in there told him.

Taking another bite he smiled as he began to relax, that hit the right spot indeed~

But it was like he jinxed himself, because as soon as he finished his pizza he heard clunky footsteps.

Adam frowned and checked the cameras and nearly jumped when he saw a face looking back at him in camera 3.

That one must be Eve..... She also looked human but had many flowers in her hair done up like a crown and wearing a dress.

And that was when the humming started, Eve started to hum as she got closer..

Eve: Yoooooou whoooooo.~

Adam: Fuck.

He went for the door and nearly screamed when he saw Eve standing there, he shut the door so quickly.

This is a nightmare! No worse than a nightmare! Nightmares are figments of your imagination created after eating too much shit before bed!

This….this pure evil comes to life!

Because a nightmare has come to life!

Adam gasped as banging came from the door, no doubt that psycho robot trying to break in.

Why did that sound somewhat normal in his head?!?!

This isn’t normal at all!!!

Adam: Why the fuck is this happening?!?!?

Adam quickly slapped himself hard in the face, trying his hardest not to freak fully out.

Even though most of it was starting to escape from his composure.

if he had any left…

Inhaling deeply he spoke to himself in a calm collecting manner,

He opened the door and sure enough it was gone.

Thank fuck.

He turned to look at the monitor and the power had drained a bit from using the door. Adam winced, making it to morning seems to be a little harder than he thought it would be.

Lily could be seen on the cameras coming for his office and Adam freaked out.

Right, there was more than one.

Adam: Fuck.... Fuck!

He closed the other door before she got to it.

How in the ever fucking name of all things good and holy were these things even made?!

They weren’t your typical robots, they were far too smart to be simple animatronics.

Animatronics don’t run around trying to kill people!?

They’re literally meant to stay in one place, do a little dance, say pre recorded shit about happy birthday or whatever and that’s it!

So what the fuck were these things created by anyway?! Black magic?!

Taking a second to breathe he did so slowly and deeply, making sure to keep his cool along with his head.

Adam: Okay Adam, okay…..Now is the time to try and come up with a plan. What you need to do is stay here in the office, conserve the power properly and……wait a second.

He looked over to the power bank and cursed when he saw that it was at fifty percent.

Adam: No! No! No! No! No! NO!

It’s only been an hour! How the actual FUCK did it get so low so fast.

Adam: Not good, okay maybe there are some instructions on how to handle this…..and maybe their are instructions on how to deal with the animatronics.

Which..... At this moment wasn't ideal.

Adam grabbed the phone to call that Al guy back before pausing..... He didn't know his number.

Fuck!

...... But if he remembers right, not all of the animatronics are deadly and here to kill him. The one made after Charlie's dad was supposed to be nice.

As long as you were nice.....

He could worry about that later, Adam went through the desk until he found a sheet of paper left from the last guard on how to handle them!!

He practically squealed in joy as he began to read through.

If you are reading this I assume this means by now you are in an extremely dangerous situation.

The robots are holding a knife up to your throat sort of speak but do not worry because I will help you.

If this is your first night I am sorry that you had to find out like this, nobody wants to find out there supposed unassuming role here would be at life or deaths hands.

Adam: Yesh no shit buddy.

Adam muttered under his breath before continuing on.

But fortunately for you, things don’t have to be so grim, just imagine this paper as myself and I will tell you what to do in order to survive-

The electric cackle of a robot that was coming his way had Adam rushing to shut the doors before furiously going back to the paper.

Adam: Come on, come on, let’s go through this where the fuck are the instructions?!

Because like actual fuck he wants all the niceties before the actual important shit.

Here is how you’re going to get through this night, and all the other ones.

Oh thank God!

When encountering these robots you need to know about their specific kinks and capabilities.

Adam: Okay, so like any woman feed her and she'll leave you alone.

He turned the page and there was a section on the other female one.

As for Lily, she's different. You have to look at her in the cameras and she won't move as long as it's on her. If she does however make it to your office either shut the door or flash a flash in her eyes to stun her.

Adam checked the cameras and he couldn't see Lily anywhere at the moment but she also wasn't at his door.

Adam; Not enough…..he wants attention?! What will he give in return?! Protection?! Because unless it’s that why the actual hell would I risk my life giving him any sort of attention!?

He complained aloud, knowing no one was there to listen to it before continuing on.

Now you might be wondering, but why the hell would I even want that?

Why would I want a sentient robot’s attention and to keep his attention on me?

It’s quite simple really, you make a friend and you might just end up making a savior.

Adam raised a brow.

Yes, yes ironic isn’t it with his name and all, but I’m serious if you give him what he wants, and give him all the attention he deserves to his ego and such then I assure you he will look out for you.

Heck he might even steer any danger that comes your way if he gets the slightest scent of it.

He’s a rather lonely fellow, doesn’t associate too often with the ladies but they have a rather large respect for some reason.

So if you were to be friends with dear old Luci Lou, you end up getting most danger off your back. You know kind of like prison rules.

Adam sighed, he could do this, if making friends with the robot gets him out alive then he'll fucking do it. But it's going to be weird.

But that tells him that Lucifer won't kill him right away or try to hurt him..... Just mind his manners and he'll be okay.

Lucifer: Hello.

Adam jumped as he saw him at his other door.

Adam: Hey..... You're Lucifer right?

Lucifer: That's right! You're the new guard.

Adam: Names Adam....... You okay?

Adam: Oh it’s……it’s not so bad. At least it has a few posters.

Lucifer nodded at his words, head rotating around to catch those flowers.

Lucifer: Yeah, yeah that’s true. However, I believe in a new coat of paint and maybe some flowers would help spruce it up.

Adam: Paint huh?

Lucifer: Mhm!

Adam tensed up when Lucifer began to walk inside, his metal limbs clinking and clanking against the floor.

Lucifer: I do believe what this place needs is a true makeover. You know add a personal touch, for the guards in here.

Adam: O, Oh well you know more than I do about decorating. Knowing my skills I’m sure I’d be end up making this place worse than the dump.

He chuckled awkwardly hoping his laughter would ease the fear that was building inside him.

He just had to remember what the guide said, don’t be rude and make sure to be friendly.

He jumped when Lucifer made a sudden movement and jumped up and down.

Lucifer: Oh! Don't even get me started on ducklings! When they're still small and yellow, fluffy and cute.

Adam: Yeah, that's right.......

Lucifer: Oh but where are my manners!? Haha! It's like I got a few screws loose and misplaced them in the cloud. I'm Lucifer, though you probably knew that from the posters.

Adam: Yes, yes! I did see that...... How are you?

Lucifer: Oh you know, can't complain. You?

Adam: Little sleepy, since it's...... 2am? Nearly.

Lucifer laughed, Adam couldn't believe how real he sounded to a normal person.

Adam: Eh……sort of? I mean when I’m around the nightlife I might just stay up till it’s early in the morning when the sun is just about to get up. Then sleep for the rest of the day away so I can repeat what I did for the next night.

Lucifer: I see, and is this place not have the uh ‘night life’ as you called it?

Adam: Nope, it has more uh……haunted house energy. And not exactly Halloween horror nights.

Lucifer: Funny how you mention that because-

Suddenly Lucifer’s face went blank and he looked as though to be restarting. Or rebooting? Whatever it’s called.

Adam: Uh……Lucifer?

Lucifer: …………Sorry about that my dear friend I seem to have lost myself there for a moment!

Adam: It’s cool, you good?

Lucifer: Mhm! Like an apple in a fritter!

Adam: ……….

Lucifer: That means I’m doing quite swell! My wires get crossed from time to time is all!

He made a motion with his hand going over his head.

Adam: Oh, well maybe I can talk to her.

Lucifer: That would be swell! ...... You can open that door you know? It's eating your power.

Adam: Huh?

He turned to look at the camera and no one was there. Sure enough it was eating up his power like a fat guy at an all you can eat buffet.

Adam: Shit..... Thanks.

He opened the door and the girls weren't there so that was nice.

Lucifer smiled, unlike the female animatronics he could actually move his mouth to smile and frown.

Lucifer: You're welcome! You should be okay for a while, they get tired easily.

Adam nodded: Alright..... If I may, what happened? To your wires that is.

Adam: Oh no, that’s not good.

Lucifer: It isn’t but what can you do? The two Dunder brothers have their own problems with the ladies to deal with. They can’t keep their attention on me always.

Adam: The…..Dunder brothers?

Lucifer: The technicians, I don’t know their names but I like to call them the dunder brothers from how often they end up making a big mess of things from their foolish antics.

Adam never met the other technicians, but Charlie did put a good word about them when he asked.

However, she seemed like the type of person to speak good about everyone so…..

Adam: You know with how advanced your AI system is you’d think that people like them would want to give you most attention.

Lucifer: Oh it’s nothing to sneeze at, not any more special than Lily’s or Eve’s

Adam: Still, must be pretty cool being this smart for a, a……….

Lucifer’s robotic eyes narrowed ever so slightly at Adam: A what?

Adam: A super cool party machine! That’s what! Hehe!

Good save

Lucifer: Well I wouldn’t say that I’m a party machine, just that I bring the life to it.

Adam; Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool! So um……well……if you need someone to help you with the wires, I’m more than willing to give it a try.

Lucifer: You know anything about mechanics and engineering?

Adam: Yes! It's been a couple years but I still know what to do..... Maybe I'll get permission from Charlie first.

Because the last thing he wants to do is mess up an animatronic that he can never pay for in full. Especially one that was made in the memory of her father.

Lucifer: That is likely the best thing.

Lucifer: Well then call me an owl because ain’t that a hoot!

Adam gasped when the robot was suddenly on him, but instead of attacking or trying to hurt him he was…..hugging him.

Adam spared a glance downwards and couldn’t believe his eyes.

A sentient AI was hugging him……a robot was hugging him.

This was definitely one of the weirdest most stressful and definitely terrifying experiences of his life in this one single night.

—

Adam jolted awake when he heard a loud ding dong.

He felt onto his desk, shaking his head as he looked over at the clock.

6:00 AM

It…..it was over……he did it!

He actually did it!

Looking around the office he found not a single killer robot in his sight.

He groaned in his chair as he got up, rubbing his face out of exhaustion.

He didn’t remember falling asleep, he didn’t remember getting in his chair again. It hard to remember much before that.

Adam: .... I need to get the fuck out.

He gathered up his stuff and got out of there so quickly he nearly tripped getting into his car.

A pair of robotic eyes watched him the whole time

-

Later that afternoon when Adam was well rested, he went in and found Charlie.

Charlie: Adam! You're uhh..... About 8 hours early for your shift.

Charlie: Oh…….you uh…….that happened?

Adam: What do you think?

Charlie: I’m sorry Adam, I really am it’s just that I-

Adam: Failed to say anything about it and nearly got me killed? I’m here to protect this place when it’s at its defenseless point. Not to worry about being defenseless myself.

Charlie: I, I apologize Adam I really am sorry, but in your contract it did say that you would have to deal with them.

Adam: Oh no! In no way shape or form did I-

“Kadmon! Stop lounging around and get your ass over here! Now!”

Adele sighed as she placed down her chart and began to walk over to her supervisor, trying her best to hide the grimace threatening to overshadow her neutral features.

She had learned on very early that when you were on the job you never showed your true emotions on your face.

Instead it was always best to keep it completely blank in order to not only come across as serious but to appease those above you in this regard.

At least it was important when in front of one’s supervisors.

Besides she didn’t need any guff over a slight face she made.

Adele: Yes sir?

She called to the man now in front of her, staring at him with what she hoped was the perfect poker face.

Johnathon, the head of the nursing order, responded to her with a snarl.

Johnathon: I thought I told you to check the Robinson’s report like five times already?!

Adele: Sorry sir I just need to-

She stared deep into the warm brown eyes of the woman in front of her.

Bel: It’s important that you help with that no matter what.

Adele: No matter what….what exactly?

Bel: No matter what it takes to help my cousin, even if it means……Adele did you in anyway mind what he did?

Adele couldn’t help but furrow her brows ever so slightly at her. Even if she was technically her boss it was still what a question!

Adele: Of course I did! He placed his-

Bel: No I mean, did you minded that he thought of you as his wife?

Adele: That? Not so much, it was fine I guess until he got a little too comfortable.

Bel: And the entire act of a shattered mind in which he sees you as his long lost bride, would you mind being in it again?

Adele: What exactly are you getting at?

Bel: Miss Kadmon I’m going to level with you, I know how much Lucifer wants to get married and have children. But never has he done this with such vigor with anyone except for you. Adele I think that if you allow his mind to center itself and view you as his beloved ‘wife’ then it might just help him.

Adele: How?

Bel: As his ‘wife’ you're meant to be the person who tends to him, cares for him, be there whenever and whatever he needs you for. And what he needs now are his pills. Up until now it’s been difficult to get them inside but when you got him to do it? It was easy as pie.

Adele: I..... I can try. It didn't seem so bad at first.

The hug was okay but the ass slap? Yeah that wouldn't fly.

It was very sad...... If she had met him in the world and he was normal she probably would have dated him.

Bel: Thank you. And don't be surprised if he talks about the same things okay? Like wanting to buy you a ring or whatever. He'll do that. Just go with it.

Adele: I can do that...... So, what's game time?

Adele nodded, that did sound nice: What is it that Lucifer plays?

Bel: Well he’s one for those card games, he’s pretty good at it actually. But it has been a while since he’s done so.

Adele: Play cards?

Bel: No, been apart of game time.

Adele: Oh? Whys that?

Bel: Well with so many females around, and him believing any girl that glances his way is his and his alone….we've um…..had a few incidents in the past.

Adele: Incidents?

Bel: Well he’s never caused them during game time, but when he’s alone with any nurse that’s been around another inmate and has helped him, he uh….has had a bit of a violent outburst.

Adele: I thought he didn’t hurt girls?

Bel: He doesn’t! Normally anyway……it’s just a bit of well…..verbal abuse that he spews in moments of jealousy.

Adele: …….Such as?

Bel: I know. But that's where the brain damage comes into play. The frontal lobe regulates everything in our mind and body, including emotions and thinking skills. When it's damaged the way his was, levels of aggression both verbal and physical can increase greatly.

Adele nodded: Okay..... What else has he done?

Bel: Well...... He's called nurses whores, he's called them pretty much every name in the book when he's jealous. Though, the reason he was banned from game time is because he decided to take his jealousy out on another patient and not a nurse.

Adele didn't like where this was going.

Adele: Oh no.....

Adele: I understand, I’ll try my best not to do so.

Bel: Great, now let’s just head on down to get you your uniform.

Adele smiled slightly at that, she always did wonder what that would be like.

How it would feel on her skin, how she would look in it.

Now some might believe to view her as weird for that.

After all there’s no reason to get all hyped up for some dumb old nurses uniform.

She knew it wasn’t some magical dress granted to her by a fairy godmother.

It was instead just simple scrubs that were granted to her by a superior.

But to Adele it was so much more than that, it was also basically getting to wear fun outfits that felt like pajamas while also helping people.

Which was her biggest wish to do as a kid, yes that’s correct, once upon a time Adele wished to be a nurse.

Obviously that dream had changed and she instead grew more interested in the writing craft but still, getting to do what she wished to as a child was pretty cool in her book.

Bel and Adele stopped when the former opened a door that she led the younger into.

Adele: Oh wow.... Umm.... A large? I think. Why are there so many?

Bel picked through and found Adele's size in a pair of light purple scrubs and handed them over to her.

Bel: These are all spares in case anyone gets theirs dirty and needs to change.

Adele smiled: These are perfect.

She went and changed and they got like a glove. Adele put her hair up into a ponytail as per Bels request. Makes it easier for people to not pull her hair.

Adele: There! How do I look?

Adele gave her a nod before she was whisked away to the tall tell room of game and feast.

It luckily didn’t take too long for Adele to arrive with the good doctor to their destination as Dr. Gore opened the door for her and lead her right in.

Light chatter filled the room as a number of tables had half a dozen people in them.

All eating their dinner as they discussed their day, as well as speak of their hardships during that day.

Bel; This way please.

Adele silently followed her new boss as she was directed over to a line where people were getting their meals.

It appeared to be a buffet like event where people chose what they wanted.

Tonight it seemed to be options that were comprised of yogurt, chili, and garlic bread, with a side salad.

Last one was most optional.

Once she got her food and a bottle of water for drink Dr. Gore led her to a table with few inhabitants.

To which Adele was thankful for, she hated to be that girl but she could sometimes be a bit shy around new people.

Not to mention she wasn’t much in a conversation mood, preferably she wished to simply eat in silent peace, or quiet as the case may be.

Bel: Good.

They ate their lunch together and Adele looked around, there were other nurses and staff there eating as well.

Adele: Are you the only doctor?

Bel: No, but my colleague is on vacation so it is just me for the time being. If you need anything and I'm not around don't be afraid to ask a nurse.

Adele: Okay..... Is there anything else I should know?

Bel: Hmm..... Well he loves ducks. If you can get him to talk about those for a while he'll be okay.

Sounds simple enough.

When they finished their food Adele followed Bel back to Lucifer's room where he was just waking up.

Adele blinked and Lucifer was sitting right up staring at the both of them with a wide open grin showing all his pearly whites.

His pearly whites that reminded Adele ever so slightly of shark fangs but at least she knows he brushes.

Lucifer: Well doesn’t that sound like a swell idea? A date night!

Adele: D, Date what?

Lucifer swung his legs off the bed and got right up: Date night! This will be a perfect stress reliever before the wedding!

Adele: Y, Yeah the wedding! That is soooo stressful! This definitely will be relaxing!

Lucifer: Glad you agree my peach cake! Let me just ready myself then we’ll get going! Where are we going anyway?

Bel: To the game room Lu, you do remember that place?

Lucifer: I do…….I have a few…..unsavory memories there.

Bel: Well those memories should be thrown away and instead only be filled with good ones with your current bride.

Lucifer: Yes…..yes indeed you’re right my dear! Tonight will be a completely new night and will be absolutely perfect. Won’t it darling?~

Adele: Oh uh y, yup! That is….thats right! Honey!

But that was when they were in the privacy of his room, surely he wouldn't touch her in front of a bunch of people.

Right?

Lucifer: Well then, let's get going!

He walked over and Adele tried not to flinch, he hadn't even done anything yet. But he did take her hand and lace their fingers together and led her out.

This wasn't so bad...... Holding hands was fine, innocent.

And Bel wasn't too far away in case something happened.

When they made it to the game room, they sat at a table sort of away from everyone else and Lucifer shuffled the cards.

Adele: Oh well I’ve never thought much about games, especially card games. I’m good with whatever.

Lucifer: Well then how about something not too challenging but just as fun?

Adele: Such as?

Lucifer: Gin rummy! It’s a classic! Have you ever heard of it?

Adele: Hmm……I think I have actually! If I’m not wrong my grandpa used to play this game a lot when he was around.

Lucifer: Great then you are familiar with its rules and how to play?

Adele: Eh……

To be fair though, it’s been a while. She didn’t even think anyone played these kinds of games anymore.

Sooooooooooo... Something like this?

I'm for SURE gonna clean up the last panel into a drawing, but I'm still on the fence about finishing this as an actual animation. I guess it depends on how many people want to see it? If I get a lot of responses to this post then I'll see about it!
