The devils, having turned heel at the shocking scene in Lilith's Womb, found themselves back in Hell.
In the din of Lucifer's office, Satan couldn't hold back anymore.
"What was that?" he finally asked, scratching at a growth of skin in one of his empty eye sockets.
"You saw it," the warden answered. "It was her."
"I know it was her; I have eyes!" He jumped up from his chair. "I'm asking how any of what we witnessed is possible? How was she there?"
Lucifer sighed. "I hate telling stories."
He spent the next few minutes explaining to Satan the workings of Lilith's Womb.
"Damn!"
Satan jogged laps around the room.
"And you are telling me she killed an archangel?" He shook his head. "No, no, no! Just like that?"
His feet came to a jarring halt.
"What about us?" His pitch fell a level. "Could we have died back there, too?"
"Theoretically, yes."
