"You can just call me Lucifer. Or Luc, if you'd rather." Tended to draw less suspicion in public, even Gadreel usually did it, unless he was deliberately saying his name to scold him. When it got especially bad, he called him Morningstar. Which, secretly, Lucifer thought was adorable. "You don't seem to care that much, given you're talking to me now. You know Gadreel and I need your help, Felix?"
"I'm not in school now so I don't have to do what they tell me." Felix wisely reasons as he held onto the straps of his bag and looked up at the two, bouncing on the balls of his feet. "I have to help you save the world from the bad thing. It's coming."
"The apocalypse?"
"Pocalips?" Felix squinted. That was a big word but it seemed about right so he nodded, all smart like and clever. "Yes, that one. It's a big pocalips and it's a bad one."
"End of the world. Yes, apocalypse. That's a bad one, given it's the only one." That he hoped to prevent. Wouldn't be the first time. However, last time he had worked with a much older Prophet, which had its upsides. "Where are you supposed to go now, Felix? You got a family?"
They'd have to figure that one out. "Do you have any more drawings that show the future?"
"I have a dad but you can't come with me there, he won't tolerate such nonsense." Felix repeated the same old catchphrase his father always yelled at him, rooting through his colouring book and holding out the next picture. It was a guy in a long black coat hanging around... maybe a church. Maybe not. "This guy but he was boring to draw so I stopped."
"Of course you did." Slowly, he turned and gave Lucifer a look. Well, this was going to be terrible in every way. "This is perfect."
"Okay, I gotta go." Felix waved at them both. "I can't be late."
"His dad sounds a lot like mine," Lucifer commented drily, while looking at the picture he had gotten. Hey, it was better than nothing. He studied it, then finally shrugged his shoulders. "We'll look into the boy. If we have to, we can get him from his father. Anyone can be tempted."
Might as well be hell's catchphrase. "Don't look so dour, Gadreel. You have to admit, he's more mature than the last one."
"That's not a tough bar." He watched the kid walk home and his peers push him a little as they ran by. He was clearly not a popular kid but he was also an odd one, it was clear to see just by knowing him for a moment. He looked away and levelled Lucifer a small frown. "Okay, we look into the kid, work out what to do and try to find this guy -- whoever he is."
He looked it over. "A purple man wearing a black squiggle with a giant head, tiny feet and what looks like a church or hell, what do I know? It could be the Pizza Hut." This was going to be fun.
