[ it happens in a second, like a reflex, like a flinch, before jack can do anything to stop it.
lucifer straightens up, standing tall, something in his eyes changes and jack remembers the moment it all fell apart in the bunker. i'll handle him and will you? the second it shifted, and his maybe-father gave up on the game. his hand reaches out and all jack remembers is the blade slicing his throat.
a burst of power explodes out from him, unfiltered and raw, looking like dusty, fractured, golden light, jack's eyes blazing up with the same color, in a subconscious, kneejerk attempt to shove lucifer away from him.
the moment after is shocked stillness, and jack clearly didn't mean to let out that power, but any attempt at masking it now would be obvious, and if there's a way to lie his way out of what just happened, jack doesn't have nearly the skill to pull it off. welp, cards down. he never liked pretending much anyway. his tone takes a complete turn, nerves gone, voice hard. ]
