Chapter 76

Sam and Lucifer continue discussing hypothetical situations for the next few hours, ranging anywhere from what would have happened if Michael and Lucifer didn't fight and Lucifer just kept Sam as a vessel — to which they both agreed Dean would either get Lucifer out of him or die trying — to who would win in a fight, a unicorn or a pegasus, and everything in between.

"But that's ridiculous!" Lucifer protests. "The pegasus would just bat it away with its wing,"

"No, because the unicorn is smaller," Sam replies. "It could just run in, stab the pegasus with its horn, and run away."

"If Noah had brought the unicorns on the ark, I would prove you wrong right now."

"But aren't unicorns and pegasuses — pegasi? — supposed to be way bigger than this room?" Sam asks.

"Oh, yeah, great, take the logical approach," Lucifer replies, rolling his eyes. "Wait a second..."

He snaps his fingers, and a small table appears in the middle of the room. Lucifer walks up to it and waves a hand over it, and what looks almost like a game board appears on it. He glances back and gestures for Sam to join him, so he does, somewhat hesitantly.

"Ready?" Lucifer asks.

"Probably not, but go for it," Sam replies, curious as to what he's planning.

Lucifer snaps his fingers, and suddenly, a mini unicorn and pegasus appear on the board. They're small — the unicorn is about four inches tall and the pegasus is about six, and their small size just makes them even more adorable.

Sam can't quite process what they do at first, too busy staring at them in awe because . But eventually, when he's able to focus again, he watches as the pegasus bats the unicorn around with its wings for a few minutes before delivering the final blow.

Sam just stares at the board for a few moments before looking over at Lucifer. "You just killed a baby unicorn. You truly Satan."

"Technically, my pegasus killed the unicorn," Lucifer corrects him.

"Yeah, but you wanted to kill him,."

"Well, duh, because it proved my point," Lucifer replies.

Not wanting to admit that he's wrong, instead of responding to that, Sam asks, "So what are you gonna do with the pegasus?"

"Snap it out of existence?" Lucifer says with a careless shrug.

"What? No!" Sam protests. "You can't kill it!"

"Then what do you want me to do with it?" Lucifer asks. "Set it free on the roof so it either falls to its death when it jumps off, or there's just a random mini pegasus walking around?"

Sam frowns. Well, he has a point. There isn't a whole lot to do with a real, live pegasus. Unless...

"Can I keep him, then?"

Lucifer scoffs. "You want to a pegasus?"

Sam shrugs. "Yeah, sure. Why not?" He looks down at the little creature, just walking around the board. "He's kinda cute."

"It's a girl, technically," Lucifer tells him. "And, I mean, it won't bite. It won't grow. It doesn't need to eat. Do you want me to give you a cage and you can own a little magic guinea pig with wings?"

"Would you?" Sam asks hopefully.

Lucifer shakes his head at the boy as if disappointed before saying, "If you really want me to, sure." He snaps a cage into existence against the wall. It's about five feet long and a foot wide, and stretches about four feet up the wall. It's a fairly decent size for such a small creature.

Sam picks up the pegasus gently, holding her against his chest in both hands. He places her in the cage, and her wings flutter as she lets herself drift to the ground to look around. He shuts the top of the cage and looks at her with a satisfied smile.

"Help me think of a name," Sam says.

"Bomb ass pegasus," Lucifer replies without hesitation.

"Okay, help me think of a name." He just looks down at her for a few moments before finally announcing, "Her name is Kasie."

"Why Kasie?" Lucifer asks judgmentally.

"Because Kasie is a cool name, so shut it."

Lucifer rolls his eyes. "Right, well, on the off chance I ever have to refer to that rat with wings by a name, I'm calling it Lucy."

Sam can't help but chuckle at that. "Of course you are. But I'm gonna keep her name as Kasie, so just know that you're calling her the wrong thing."

"I couldn't care less," Lucifer replies. "Its name is Lucy, now and forever."

"Her name is Kasie, and anything else is wrong," Sam says, but if Lucifer wants to call her Lucy, he's not really going to complain. To each their own. "Oh, and can we not mention Kasie to anyone else?"

"Ooh, secrets!" Lucifer replies with an exaggeratedly childish grin. In his normal tone, he adds, "Yeah, it's probably easier than explaining why you have it in the first place."

"Yeah, really," Sam agrees. He looks over at Kasie, who's flying around her cage. "She reminds me of a parakeet."

"Only because you're weird," Lucifer replies.

"Is there any normal person with a miniature pegasus in their room?" Sam counters.

"Touché."
