[3rd POV]
"So...what should we call you?" Linda couldn't help but ask, as she bit into her food, breathing in deeply at the taste as it was simply divine. It was made by Yahweh himself, so it was quite literally the best food in this universe. Lucifer, who was biting into her food, hummed at the taste, finding it to be quite good.
Her own cooking was even better than it used to be, now that she had all her memories, which included a LOT of cooking experience and knowledge, knowledge that she didn't have before. It wasn't just cooking that she had more knowledge in, but every area you can think of, with masterful knowledge in all of them, making her the very peak of what the multiverse she was reborn through so many times, could accomplish.
"You can call me Luci. I doubt Samael over there wants everyone calling my Lucifer, since he's grown so fond of the name" Lucifer said to Samael with a small nod, as the man looked at her in slight surprise before giving his own nod.
"So...Lucifer, where have you been all this time? Afterall, you must have been doing all sorts of incredible things, with who you are" Michael said, an almost condescending tone to him. A tone that got a small eyebrow raise from an unimpressed Lucifer.
"Traveling existence with my wife, Alice, as well as my adorable children. It's quite fun you know, seeing the sights of the greater expanse of existence" Lucifer replied, sipping on the tasty wine as Amenadiel couldn't help but comment.
"You have a wife?"
"Mmhmm, have been with her for quite some time. Since the creation of the first multiverse born of my light. Back then she and I were known under...different names, due to some circumstances that lead to my reincarnation, well, reincarnations" Lucifer said, as Linda tilted her head.
"What was your name at that time?"
"Adam" Lucifer said, as Samael choked on his wine coughing.
"Adam? As in-" "Adam and Eve? Yep, my wife is technically considered the "Mother of Humanity" we're the progenitors for the first humans of the first multiverse, the first true sapient life in existence, excluding my father, Eve and I" Lucifer nodded, finding their reactions to be amusing.
"Of course we didn't actually have any children in that life, nor any other until this one, but considering our...unique circumstances, children were born of us either way" Lucifer added, remembering that her father had used the blood of her and Alice to bring forth the children in that multiverse, Cain, Abel, and Seth.
"What does this "reincarnation" nonsense mean?" Samael asked.
"It means that when I was first born, my soul had to be grown, just as any natural born does. Except due to my power, it had to be grown over an incomprehensible amount of lives, growing more and more over time, before it reached the point that I could return as me, albeit without the same level of power I had at that point, sadly" Lucifer answered, not even remotely afraid of whatever Michael may be scheming.
"How strong were you?"
"The second strongest being in all of creation, capable of ending everything with a snap of my finger" Lucifer responded with a shrug, as she bit into the steak in front of her again.
This was true, she made beings like The Living Tribunal, the Beyonders, The Endless from DC, and many other entities, look like worms beneath her feet, that was how strong she had been when first born.
"And you lost all of that power?" Michael askedwith interest, as Lucifer glanced at the man.
"I did. But I suggest you don't begin to scheme around me, Michael, I am still stronger than anyone else in this universe besides your father" Lucifer said, giving the man a cold look upon reading his surface thoughts, which included some rather nasty plots involving her family.
"I don't know what you mean, I would never!" Michael exclaimed, as Samael laughed.
"Please, we all know all you do is scheme, brother. Afterall, you are the one who had Chloe kidnapped, caused my friend to shoot me, Amenadiel to have doubts about Charlie's mortality, not to mention impersonating me, ravaging my life, that all sounds like a scheme to me, does it not? Hells, it sounds downright villainous!" Samael said, as Lucifer glanced between the two, slightly amused with this whole situation.
"You know, with all these schemes, I was beginning to think there was an endgame! You make a mess big enough for God himself to come down, we all regress in dad's presence, noble Amenadiel takes the blame, rebellious Luc-Samael runs off in a huff, leaving you...looking like the perfect son" Samael said, almost saying Lucifer before stopping himself.
"But now, I realize it was just to bring the family together for dinner. Pass the chicken" Samael said as Lucifer passed over the plate of chicken to the man.
"I know what you're trying to do, but I'm not gonna let you ruin this, Samael"
"Very well, Mi-ka-ael" Samael replied with a small smirk on his face, knowing that Michael hated to be called that.
"It's Michael!"
"Is it? I mean, we're twins after all. Fairly certain dad wanted them to rhyme. Dad?" Samael asked Yahweh, while Lucifer silently listened, sipping on her wine as if it was tea.
"I did like the sound of that. Samael, Mi-ka-ael. But you boys had other ideas" Yahweh said with a small chuckle, as Linda watched all of this awkwardly while Lucifer watched with thinly veiled amusement.
"You know, I'm glad you persuaded me to come, brother. Like you said, it's worth it, even if Dad has been a real ass" Samael said, as Amenadiel began to choke on his wine not expecting that, as Lucifer let out a small laugh at this.
"That's um...that's actually not what I said. I was sympathising with my little brother, Dad, trying to, uh, get him to come to dinner"
"It's okay, son"
"Is it? And was he? Now think of what Amenadiel went through the past couple of years. All that anguish, thinking he'd fallen from your favor. He lost his wings, his very sense of self. Only to discover that he was doing it all to himself. Couldn't you have just told us that's how we all work, instead of your favorite son think he was being brutally punished, that he was a failure?" Samael asked.
"Samael, come on" Amenadiel said, getting sick of this arguing.
Chuckling, Samael continued "No, don't worry, brother. We're all being tortured. All in the name of our fathers mysterious ways. Ohh! For example, dad...are you ever going to tell us why hell suddenly doesn't need a warden anymore?" Samael asked as they all looked to Yahweh, who was looking at Lucifer.
"That would be because of me in this instance" Lucifer spoke up, as they all looked at her.
"What do you mean?" Michael asked, as Lucifer chuckled.
"I mean that Samael here doesn't need to worry about ruling the hell of this universe anymore, or any other for that matter, I am personally taking control of them, all of them in fact. They are rightfully mine after all" Lucifer said with a hum.
"Y-You would willingly take such a mantle?" Samael asked in surprise, remembering how...somber hell was, it was...cold and not a fun place to stay in, not at all.
"Mmhmm, I plan on doing it in every universe I travel to, and this is simply one of those universes. I should be able to spruce the place up a bit and nicer looking, not to mention more efficient" Lucifer replied with a nod, knowing that Samael hated that place with a passion, as it was a punishment from his father in his eyes, not that he knew that it was meant to be a kingdom of his own.
"I-...thank you, truly" Samael said genuinely, as Lucifer gave the man a small nod as she looked back at Yahweh and spoke.
"Shall we continue?"
