🕑 Added 2025-09-13 01:16:39 +0000 UTC[3rd POV]
At the moment Lucifer was walking through her home. She was heading towards the basement where she believed Powder was at the moment. She wanted to spend the day with Powder, and then spend the next with Vi, then Rose, and so on so forth.
As she has mostly been spending her time with her children when they were all in a group, and wanted to spend more time with them individually. After that, she planned on taking Alice on a date for the first time in a little while.
Walking into the basement, Lucifer stopped when she saw Powder tinkering with something. As she began to walk closer quietly, she looked over the girl's shoulder, her eyebrow raising at what she was working on.
It was a rather interesting little device, using various materials and circuits. Lucifer could tell what it was, but she wanted to hear it from Powder first as she was interested in the girls response.
“Quite the little device you’ve got there, honey” Lucifer said, as Powder jumped with a squeak, having not heard Lucifer approach her as she turned back to the woman who looked at her with a sheepish smile.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. So, what is it you’re working on there?” Lucifer asked, crouching down next to the girl who looked surprised before beaming.
“It’s an emp circuit!” Powder said with a proud grin, as Lucifer smiled.
“And what does it do?” Lucifer asked, already knowing the answer, but she noticed that Powder loved to explain her inventions and to show them off, so why wouldn’t she listen to her explain them? It was adorable.
“It can shut off the power of anything it’s plugged into! It’s only in the experimental phase right now, so it’s not nearly as good as it could be. But I hope to have it so strong that it can wipe out the power in an entire city!” Powder said with a grin, as Lucifer hummed.
“And why do you need an Emp circuit?” Lucifer asked, as Powder blinked at the question, before turning to it.
“Um…I don’t know? I just made it because I thought it could be useful, and it was fun” Powder replied, as she began to look down, a little saddened.
“A-am I in trouble? I’m sorry if I wasn’t supposed to make something like this, I didn’t know” Powder said, looking sad as she realized that Lucifer might be mad at her for her creation, only for Lucifer to shake her head.
“No sweety, I’m not mad at you for what you made. I was just curious, that’s all. It’s quite an incredible little thing you’ve made, and at such a young age!” Lucifer said with a bright smile, as Powder looked up at her.
“I-It’s nothing. I-It probably won’t work anyways” Powder replied, shaking her head as Lucifer frowned.
“And why do you say that?” Lucifer asked softly, as she knew what was coming.
“E-Everything I make blows up or doesn’t work. And this won’t be any different. I-I’m a Jinx” Powder responded, looking down as she remembered the failed inventions that she has created before, with almost every single one of them failing. Only a handful had worked, and one of them had “Killed” Vander.
Lucifer frowned at the girl's response. She knew that Powder was still traumatized over what had happened to Vander, and over the things that had happened that day. Of Vi abandoning her, even if it was only for a few minutes. Of the deaths of her friends, of her own failure, of…everything really.
It was all a…lot. A lot for any person, but especially a lot for a little girl who barely even knows how to handle the situation, and what had happened to her, and sure as hell does not have the means to get over this serious trauma.
Trauma that would damage a lot of people, in worse ways than her.
“No, sweety, you are not” Lucifer responded, shaking her head in denial, as Powder blinked.
“But I am! Everything I make messes up and breaks! Everything I do hurts other people! It-It’s because of me that Vander is dead! That my friends are dead! I am nothing more than a Jinx!” Powder yelled back, as Lucifer just looked at her with the soft loving eyes that she always had when she gazed at her daughters, at…her and Vi.
“You made a mistake, honey. But one that is not your fault, not truly. You are a little girl, a genius, incredible little girl. Who can make the things you can at your age? Who can make an EMP circuit in the basement of their home? Who can think of the things you can? Not many other people can, Powder” Lucifer responded, before continuing.
“And you will find, the more you learn, is that everyone makes mistakes. Even the smartest, strongest, most incredible people in all of existence do. Nobody is perfect, and nobody is flawless. Do you think I haven’t made mistakes? I’ve made more than anyone else in all of existence. But the difference is, you need to learn to move past it, to learn from your mistakes, and become the genius little girl that I know for absolute certainty that you can be” Lucifer said, as Powder looked up at her, wide eyed.
Lucifer gazed at the girl with warmth as tears began to well up in Powder's eyes. Without even hesitating, Lucifer leaned forward, and wrapped her arms around the little girl as she bit her lip.
“It’s alright Powder, you can cry as much as you want. Because I will always be here for you” Lucifer softly said to the girl, as the tears began to flow, and she couldn’t stop it anymore, sobs echoed from her throat, as she sobbed against Lucifer’s shoulder, her arms wrapping around the woman as she hugged her close, crying into her shoulder.
Holding the girl close, Lucifer softly stroked her head, as the girl sobbed against her chest, tears staining her clothes. Lucifer knew that the girl desperately needed this, needed the cry, needed the warmth, needed the love.
She had been holding it all in for so long since the event, that it was only natural that she wouldn’t be able to do it forever, and now that she was shown so much warmth and love by Lucifer and Alice, it naturally was coming out.
And the cries were coming hard, as she sobbed against Lucifer’s chest, sobs that soon began to die down, as she kept her face nuzzled into Lucifer’s chest.
“You alright now, Powder?” Lucifer softly asked, as Powder nuzzled, and softly spoke her response.
“Y-Yes” Powder said, embarrassed that she just sobbed against this woman's chest like that.
“Good, I’d hate to see a darling little thing like you cry more” Lucifer said with a warm smile on her face, as Powder looked down, the warmth of Lucifer was growing more and more difficult to ignore. As she felt the warmth of a mother from the woman, and it was getting very hard to act like it didn’t make her feel so loved.
“U-Um…can you help me work on my circuit?” Powder asked, as she pulled from Lucifer’s chest, looking up at the taller woman who looked surprised at the request, before smiling.
Hearing the question, Lucifer had only one thing to say in response, and that was…
”Of course!”
____________________________________________________________________
That’s the end of the chapter!
The next few chapters are going to be bonding chapters with Vi and the rest of the girls (as there hasn’t been much of that recently), a date with Alice, and likely the first smut chapter in quite some time (for this fic at least).
Things will start picking back up within 6-7 chapters or so.
My first estimate of this fic being done within like 50 chapters is wrong. It’ll probably be more like 75-100 chapters instead.
Anyways, have a good day!
