Tony's dare had started something Lucifer found highly amusing but she also gets along well with the newcomer, who as of yet, has nowhere to stay. Tony certainly wouldn't be the first new arrival that spent their first few nights at the villa.

It truly is a shame that the trip is too short to settle the other score over speed and flying capabilities. They end up landing in the villa courtyard and Lucifer is even nice enough to not leave him trailing behind. It's quiet. There are ten or more angels around at any given time but they are all relatively quiet unless someone starts a boisterous conversation or some sort of competition over something or another.

She shakes out her wings after landing, folding them neatly before addressing Tony. "Do I need to provide you with something more relaxing to wear while you are here?"

Tony had realised that he had indeed fallen down the rabbit hole and was now currently residing in what looked like a very fancy villa lived in by angels. It looked as if God himself could live here but he wouldn't go into all of that. Just being with Lucifer was enough on it's own since the engineer's head was reeling. The constant twinge in his back and the dull ache at the base of his skull had him wincing slightly, as he walked through the courtyard.

"Uh--I do have clothes on underneath the suit. I'm not into flying naked."

He shot Lucifer a wink and activated the switch which allowed him to step free from the armour. Tony sighed a little once he was free and adjusted his black tank top and blue faded jeans. His usual wear. But now he felt painfully underdressed whilst residing within Lucifer's opulant manor.

"Nice place you've got here. How many live here beside you?"

[the_rebel_son]

"Should I be disappointed or relieved that you will be clothed when you step out of your flight armor?"

Lucifer didn't know what to call the stuff Tony was wearing but she figured it was an accurate description.

"It depends on the day. As many as 16, but usually less." Lucifer glances around the gardens they are standing in. "I always appreciated my time in Ancient Greece as a minor diety."

Though, now that she is home, her abilities are more focused. Her expression falls a little. "Do you need something for the pain?"

[stark_ravingmad]

"What would you like to see, hot stuff? Want me to strip? I can do that but only if we're behind close doors you know. I'm past the exhibitionism part of my life."

He was much too old for that anymore. No longer did he get blind drunk and get into stupid dares with friends, ending up naked and dancing to music to the small hours in the morning.

"Sixteen, huh? Quite the party. Do you angel boys uh--you know? Have orgies, that kind of thing?"

Tony had to ask. As for his back, it twanged but wasn't overly painful. Yet, Lucifer was offering him some assistance with his problem. Was it just to get him out of his clothes? Probably.

"Are you sure that isn't a way of saying you want me naked, Icarus? Because I'll take any aid right now for my back."

[the_rebel_son]

"What a shame. I have yet to outgrow mine." Lucifer purrs the words at Tony. "There are few things as beautiful as a bare skin dappled in moonlight or sunlight."

Lucifer wasn't talking anything quite so trashy. Oh, he could be gloriously trashy but she preferred more sensuality and sobriety, usually.

"We are not all boys, but we are uninhibited. Orgies are not the only thing to do with a large group of naked bodies." There were ocassional sexual romps but more often it was sensual instead of sexual.

She smiles and shrugs, flirtatious and welcoming. "I have quite a talent for relaxing people and naturally warm hands."

[stark_ravingmad]

"You're into exhibitionism? I kind of guessed you'd be the type of guy to be into that."

Tony hardly knew this angel who appeared to change his appearance at will and who knew what else he could manage. This was the devil he was going to dance with. A sharp twang in his back and he winced slightly.

"Oh yeah? Want to put those hands to good use right now?"

Pulling up his shirt over his head Tony offered Lucifer a good view of his toned, scarred chest. The feint blue glow of his Arc Reactor was plain to see, pressing into his chest with scarring around the circle of silver metal. The man had certainly been through the wars. Literally.

[the_rebel_son]

"Not so much exhibitionism as I do not care if people see and my own kind were created long before God put man in clothing." She smiles, bright and cheerful. "We have a different opinion in nudity than humans do."

She turned to gaze at the arc reactor. It's dazzling. The radiation and color coming off of it and the twisting of magnetic field.

"That is a pretty piece." She touches the arc reactor curiously, unless Tony pulls away.

"Come." She walks passed him farther into the garden. "I can take care of you."

She is leading him toward a gazebo, near the pond, that has pillows and other assorted items for lounging on the ground. It is where she finds the most relaxation, and where she often conducts buisness.

[stark_ravingmad]

Of course the angels had a different view to nudity than the way mere mortals viewed it all. Tony's mind was still buzzing and that wasn't due to the effects of his strange green milkshake he'd drank earlier. Was it to do with the effects of the crash landing? Perhaps.

"Yeah. Pretty and valuable. Also, it's a replacement for my damaged heart. Or, rather, assists my heart so that it doesn't get filled with tiny pieces of shrapnel ready to pierce it."

He swallowed hard. The Reactor always caused him to flinch when someone else ventured near it, save for Pepper. This guy being the devil could unscrew it, or knowing him, rip it out and end Tony in an instant. But hopefully that wasn't on his mind right now. This guy didn't seem the murdering type. Yet.

"Thanks. Uh--do you often invite guys you've just met at bars into your lavish abode?"

[the_rebel_son]

"I can help with it if you ever wish it." Lucifer spread her hand over the arc reactor and any pain or illness Tony feels due to the implant, for the moment fades away. It is not permanent, a few hours perhaps. It was a gift of sorts to the visitor.

Lucifer was unlikely to harm a human. Her affection for the species held her in check unless someone acted in a very cruel manner. She enters the gazebo and gracefully sits among the cushions. "When it suits me or I would like company. I am social by nature and design."

[stark_ravingmad]

Not flinching much, Tony felt the hand spread over his Reactor causing him to inhale a breath sharply and let it out slowly. Ok, so this angel was offering him some pain relief it seemed but in a much more different way than he envisaged.

"Social as in having friends with benefits kind of thing?"

He was testing the waters here, wondering just what sort of things angels got up to within the confines of their boudoirs. Sitting next to Lucifer among the cushions he swallowed hard trying to relax. The thought of him touching his Reactor had caught him off guard a little.

[the_rebel_son]

She smiles at his question. "Sometimes. Why? Are you interested in that sort of arrangement?"

She asks honestly because the angels, especially Lucifer, prefer things to be open most of the time. As Tony settles among the cushions Lucifer offers him a wine glass but it is fresh grape juice, not wine. She remembers the human's preference. The tart and sweet of the grape Lucifer grew was suited just as well for juice as wine.

"Truth is that I have taken an angel as a life partner and have become more selective than I have been, but it does not mean that I am not interested in others at all." That was her truth, a bare honesty to the man who had joined her.

[stark_ravingmad]

"To be honest I'm not sure yet but all I do know is that I'd like to spend more time with you and experience all you have to offer. You're a good looking guy and girl."

Tony was still in half a mind in what he wanted. Was he to stay with the devil and become some sort of lover whilst he remained attached to his angel partner? It was all rather complicated. What he didn't want was to come in and bust up the angel party. Yeah. He didn't want to become the Nexus home wrecker.

"Your angel buddy. He won't mind that we might uh--become a thing, right?"

He took the glass and offered it a sniff before taking a sip. Grape juice. Huh. Nice choice.

[the_rebel_son]

"I do not mind if you visit or stay for a time." Lucifer rose a brow at the comment that followed. "Do you have a preference of form? I am fluid."

"It would come with the understanding that his wishes will always have more sway than yours." Lucifer comments while manifesting a glass of wine for herself. This was standard for polyamory among humans even, to have a primary and secondary partner. "I have a personal preference to interact with other lovers as male but I am free to consider that on an individual basis."

She did not see any reason to hide the honest answers if this human seemed interested in the exact nature of things. "I am an angel aligned with creation which makes me rather fertile. I have no interest in the risk of having a child with someone else so I do place limits on penetrative sex with others."

Lucifer imagined that having a child with someone else would break Balthazar's heart. Whether that was true or not she believed it and that was what mattered.

[stark_ravingmad]

So many important and difficult questions caught Tony off guard as he finished off all his grape juice rather quickly. Jesus. This guy--girl was asking him such things that would affect their friendship together. Possibly for all the time he was within the Nexus. Not only that there was his angel buddy. Tony did not want to piss that guy off. No way.

"You know what? How about I choose you as a male because it might be easier that way and uh--if it's cool with your angel buddy here."

He swallowed thickly and kept both large brown eyes firmly fixed on Lucifer. Hey, if he was cool with this arrangement then Tony should be too, right? His eyes shifted around the room wondering if the angel in question was actually listening or indeed watching them both even now. This was unknown territory he was stepping into right now.

"So, we're cool with that, huh?"

[the_rebel_son]

"Perhaps we should start with friends." Lucifer suggests as she lays down among the pillows in the gazebo. She's not as worried as Tony about the situation.

"We can see where things go and perhaps you will have a chance to speak with my partner before any decisions need to be made."

She gently strokes one of the larger pillows nearby. "Why do you not join me laying here and then I can give you that back massage I promised."

[stark_ravingmad]

"Sure. Sounds good to me since I wouldn't want to, you know? Intrude or anything."

Usually Tony was cocksure about almost everything he did in life, whether it be choices or actions, yet here? He was out of his depth and still a little nervous around the shape-shifting devil, Lucifer. Sure, he/she was handsome and Tony desired them but there was also the fact that they were hooked up with some powerful angel dude and that complicated things a little.

"I mean I'd like to talk to an angel. That sounds like a good life choice since I've never done that before. Also, if he's cool with me being with you then it's a winner."

He slowly began to relax a little more and went to join Lucifer on the pillows, laying down on his stomach, wondering what would happen next.

[the_rebel_son]

"You are not intruding." Lucifer shakes her head at the human. He was so worried, though she could understand if he was not used to supernatural beings just inviting him for a visit.

"You are already talking to an angel." She giggles musically but understands. "My partner is quite gregarious. You should find no problems staying on friendly terms with him."

She did sit up when Tony came to rest in the pillows. She warms her hands a little more than usual, an advantage of being able to control hellfire that burned inside. Her hands lay gently on his neck, and the touch drifts over his shoulders and back. It's almost professional but also incredibly sensual as she feels for where the muscles are tight and need the most attention. Soft skin finally coming to rest on his neck where she starts her massage, working down toward his shoulders. She'll take cues from behavior and relaxation to moderate temperature and pressure as she works. While this all might be erotic, for the moment it is more soothing a friend though some sensuality is unavoidable.

[stark_ravingmad]

"Oh well, that's good. Because I wouldn't want to bust up the angel party here."

He offered a small grin and swallowed thickly. Tony knew he had to try and relax but it felt odd not being the most powerful man in the room right now. Perhaps that was it. Usually, with his lovers it was he who was centre of attention. Now, it was Lucifer who held all the cards and could change at will. That and he was the god damn freaking devil.

"He doesn't mind? Ok. That's cool. I mean, he sounds a nice relaxed kind of guy."

Trying not to think about any other angel except Lucifer, Tony slowly tried to relax his body and closed his eyes while the angel worked. God, it felt good. Shifting slightly, the engineer sighed at those angelic hands kneading out the hard knots of muscle in his back. Soft sighs and grunts were all the cues Lucifer needed to know that it was working.

[the_rebel_son]

"He is understanding and speaks his mind." Lucifer grins but in truth Balthazar could use more friends. The angel was very sociable. Lucifer had always considered herself extremely social but her partner was even more so.

Not only was Lucifer a genuinely good masseuse but the warmth from her hands lingered long after she moved on, like a warm blanket laid behind the movement of her hands. She takes her time, in silence of Tony doesn't speak to her. All eh way down his back, buttocks and legs. It isn't particularly erotic but there is sensuality inherent in her touch even if her intent is far more medicinal at the moment.

[stark_ravingmad]

Tony couldn't help but emit a light gasping sound when he felt the angel's hands smooth along the curve of his buttocks. Jesus it was erotic yet he was trying to maintain his dignity within the gaze of the devil him/herself. It was hard though. Sounds of mild pleasure threaten to burst from his throat at any moment because hitting the ground earlier. Yeah, that hurt.

"Damn, you've got a mean pair of hands. I'm envious of your angel buddy here."

It was sensual but at the same time easing all the horrid and painful knots in his back. His muscles beginning to ease up with each movement of Lucifer's powerful hands. What else could the devil do with them? Thoughts just gently dipping into the gutter for those few moments.

[the_rebel_son]

Lucifer starts to laugh quietly as she works. He might be silent but the reactions of his body to touch are harder to hide. "You do not need to stiffle your feelings for my benefit."

Though talk of her partner brings out a smile, momentarily, that she is glad Tony can't see for the near shy adoration. "He is a very lucky angel. His massages always come with more extras than anyone else's."

Once she's worked his thighs she starts moving her way back up his body. There's still a lot of tension in his back, but it is also just to pull more of those gasps from the man sprawled out before her.

[stark_ravingmad]

Was Lucifer laughing? Of course she was. Right now she had a mortal man stretched out before her near naked. As for stifling his pleasured hums and gasps? If she wanted to hear them then Tony would offer the devil some noise.

"Yeah, it's just I didn't want to--ah never mind. Keep touching me, handsome. Your hands are heaven."

Pun intended? Of course. This was Tony Stark. The guy had an ego to match a solar system and he was asking the devil to massage him in all the right places. Damn, it felt good. Another soft whimper escaped his lips as he sighed and closed his eyes. As for the "extras" his angel got, well, Tony wouldn't mind having some of those himself one day. A man could dream.

[the_rebel_son]

"Hell is what makes my hands hot." She teases because, well he deserves it probably.

She saw his eyes drift closed and honestly wouldn't care if he fell asleep. Wasn't that a sign of a good massage.

"How do you end up this tense?" She finally asks curiously. He seems strung out if his muscles were any indicator.

[stark_ravingmad]

"Then, maybe Hell isn't such a bad place after all if it gives you--mmm--good hands like these."

Tony's approval voiced by recognition of a deep humming sound rising up from his throat. As for Lucifer's question he almost snorted in amusement. If only the devil knew what Tony Stark had to put up with in his life. Looking back to get a better view, he offered Lucifer a smirk.

"Oh, you know, work, saving the world as an Avenger. The constant threat of killer robots rampaging on your planet. Nothing too grand."

He wasn't about to fall asleep. Not if he could help it, since he wanted to get a little closer to the devil. Literally.

[the_rebel_son]

"I am a queen. You have to have nice hands if you expect someone to kiss them." Some people she just can't resist teasing. Tony definitely among them. It's the arrogant and mischievous smile probably.

"I know more than you can imagine. God banging on your door at all hours of day and night is its own kind of nothing too grand." Her hands stop and then she leans down and places a kiss between his shoulder blades. It's warm, soothing and full of healing energy which should keep the back loose and comfortable for some time. A soft warmth like a nice hot tub.

She lays down to rest beside him, head propped up on her hand and elbow with all the long reddish hair cascading down. "Do you feel better?"

[stark_ravingmad]

Tony was amazed at how Lucifer held herself but none the less was still utterly perplexed and frankly curious about who and what she was. He could feel her power emanating from her very being as well as her beauty. Only a few moments ago back at the bar? He was talking to the male version. Turning to face her, he sighed; the pain gone from his back which was nice.

"You could say that, yeah. The pain has gone from my back but now I want to do something for you. How about I give that body of yours a massage too? My rough hands might be nice running over that smooth skin of yours."

A playful smile which turned into a sultry stare. Would she comply? Or would she up sticks and go back to her angel buddy? Tony hoped they could spend a little longer with each other.
