[ It's probably for the best that Lucifer pulled his hand back first. While Steve does actually have enough discipline and self-control that he wouldn't have yanked his away as if he'd been burned, it would have been a close thing.

As things stand, he does tense up at the name, but it isn't the sheer shock and confusion that might have come if this was his first time hearing about Lucifer's presence here. There's no way he can't do another once-over with this information, forced to see the stranger in an entirely new light. ]

Right. Uhh, Natasha mentioned something. About working with the Devil. [ Steve still can't believe how casual she had been about the whole thing, but then again, this was Nat.

Maybe he shouldn't be as thrown by it. Like Natasha pointed out, Thor was a friend of his, but this was just different somehow. Maybe because of how he'd been raised, and the reputation that Lucifer has in the Bible. ]

I'm... sure you already know how weird that is to hear for someone from Earth.
