The Butcher

Lonnie Barker has met hundreds if not thousands of people in his lifetime, but this little chiclet is somethin' else.

A/N: Y'all...This all started with me giving the butcher in S3 an accent in my head. Then suddenly he had a family and owned a business and was incredibly invested in my MC's relationships because she's too sweet for all of those boys.

Characters: Lonnie Barker, Priscilla Barker, Annabelle Barker (mentioned), MC!Delphi, demon brothers (all but Levi mentioned), Solomon, Simeon, Luke (platonic only)

Relationships (implied): Lucifer x Delphi, Asmo x Delphi, Simeon x Delphi

Lonnie Barker has been working the butcher's stall at the market for nearly twenty years now. He took over for his daddy, who took it over from his daddy before him. Four generations of Barkers, now, have used these very machines to cut meat, case sausages, grind burger, and whatever else needs done, and Lonnie thought that he'd seen it all. But then those boys had come to town.

If he's figuring right, there's seven of ‘em total. And they seem to somehow all be related, though for the life of him, Lonnie can't figure out how. None of ‘em look alike. And most of ‘em act like they hate each other. They’re excellent customers, though.

The first time any of ‘em come to the shop, they nearly buy him out. He doesn’t pay ‘em much mind after that. They come in about once a day to pick up something or other, always polite but usually bickering about something. It only takes a few days for him to gather that they’re all living together and that they’re foreign. And after about a week, he thinks he has ‘em just about figured out.

Then she shows up.

Compared to the boys she’s a tiny little thing, maybe only as tall as Annabelle, with shoulder-length pink curls and bright violet eyes that laugh when they talk to her. The first one she comes in with calls her Delphi. He’s the big one, the one everyone calls “Beel.” Lonnie assumes they’re dating, and when Beel says they’re celebrating their first night living together, well that solves that. The two buy five whole chickens from him and are on their way to the vegetable stalls next.

The next time Lonnie sees Delphi, she’s with yet another man, one that he’s sure he’s never seen before. He has white hair and gray eyes and wears a mess of silver necklaces that Lonnie can’t believe aren’t a tangled mess. He still dwarfs the poor girl, but she glares up at this one with an annoyed look, her arms crossed and her foot tapping as he talks. Lonnie hears her call this one Solomon, and judging by the way she talks to him, she doesn’t like him very much. They don’t visit the butcher that day, but it’s just as well. Lonnie doesn’t want to get in the middle of that.

Delphi becomes one of his most regular customers over the next few weeks. She’s almost always with someone different, but there’s a few that Lonnie sees her with regularly. There’s the two with eyes that almost match hers, the big one, Beel, and the smaller one that Prissy calls “Mr. Emo.” She’s always laughing and joking with those two: taking things out of Beel’s hands before they end up in his mouth, ruffling the other one’s hair and teasing him. Lonnie enjoys seeing them together because she looks like she’s having so much fun.

Then there’s the little one with the curly hair. He thinks Delphi introduced him as Asmo one time. Those two are always joined at the hip, walking arm in arm or hand in hand. They whisper to each other, pointing things out and grinning like anything. Her eyes twinkle and her cheeks are red when she’s with that one. Lonnie isn’t sure how to feel about it.

The other one she’s with regularly is tall with black hair that’s graying at the ends and red eyes. He’s at least a foot taller than Delphi, if not more, and the way he moves reminds Lonnie of the vampires in those old movies that Prissy loves so much. But he looks at that little chiclet like she hung the moon and the stars, and she looks at him the same way. Lonnie recognizes it as the was he and Prissy look at each other and it makes his heart ache. He has to look away one day, when he sees the man bend to pull her into a kiss, because it’s too intimate a moment for Lonnie to intrude on.

It’s a Wednesday when Delphi comes in with the gray-eyed man, Solomon he thinks, asking after chicken bones of all things.

“Sure, I’ve got some,” Lonnie replies, scratching his head in confusion. “But I don’t think I have near enough for what you’re wantin’, Miss Delphi.”

Delphi smiles at him, her violet eyes sparkling. “That’s okay, Lonnie! I’ll take whatever you’ve got. And if you don’t mind saving them for me from now on, I’d really appreciate it.”

The butcher smiles warmly at his favorite customer, little enigma that she is. “You bet, Miss Delphi.”

“Thanks, Lonnie,” she replies with a giggle. “Hey, how are Prissy and Anna doing?”

“They’re doing alright,” Lonnie sighs, slumping.

Delphi frowns at him, her violet eyes piercing. “That doesn’t sound like they’re doing alright.”

Lonnie shrugs his massive shoulders. “Anna’s got the flu and Prissy’s been home with her the past few days. They’re both goin’ a little stir crazy. And Anna’s upset that she probably won’t be able to go to the market this weekend.”

The smile Delphi gives him now is pitying. She digs around in one of her shopping bags and pulls out two jars of some kind of tea, it looks like. Lonnie isn’t sure what exactly they are. She takes out a small canvas sachet and a gold spoon, too, then starts scooping the stuff into the sachet. Three spoonfuls of each. After she’s done, she ties it closed and hands it to him with a smile.

“Have her drink at least half a cup of this twice a day. A whole cup would be better, but it can be bitter, so I understand if she can’t get it all down. You can sweeten it with some of Prissy’s honey if you need. But a few days of drinking this tea and she should feel right as rain by the farmer’s market.”

“Well thank ya, Miss Delphi,” the butcher responds, his eyebrows shooting up. “I’ll give this to Prissy to give to Anna. Will we see you at the farmer’s market this weekend?”

“God willin’ and the creek don’t rise,” she replies with a grin and a wink. Delphi packs her chicken bones away into one of her shopping bags and turns to go. Over her shoulder, she calls, “You let me know if that tea doesn’t help by Friday afternoon! I’ll come over and see to Anna myself!”

“Okay, Miss Delphi! Y’all have a good day!” He waves as the two leave his shop, the man whispering something to Delphi while she just rolls her eyes.

Lonnie does as he promised, gives the tea to Prissy to give to Anna. By the next morning, Anna’s fever’d broke. And by Friday, she was well enough to visit the market with Prissy to do the shopping. That day, it isn’t any of the regulars Lonnie sees Delphi with, it’s two new ones. One is dark-skinned with turquoise eyes and a gentle smile, and the other is a blond child only a sliver shorter than Delphi herself. She’s laughing and smiling as the child drags her around by the hand, pointing out anything and everything and the man follows behind them with his groceries. The three almost seem like a little family to Lonnie.

Anna tells him later than night that those two are Luke and Simeon. They apparently own a café in town with a reputation for magic coffee. Lonnie isn’t surprised. Magic sounds about right for anybody in Delphi’s company.

They don’t see her at the farmer’s market that weekend, which disappoints Anna to no end. But Lonnie and Prissy reassure her that Delphi will come back to see her soon, and she seems satisfied with that.

🐮

The next time Lonnie sees her, Delphi is with the entire group of seven, and he isn’t exactly sure how to react. He clears his throat as they all squeeze into the shop, “So, y’all decided to come in one big group today?”

Beel, the big hungry one, replies by ordering a meat pie. Lonnie just shakes his head and chuckles, “I’ll have that ready for ya in a jiffy. Now, I may have asked y’all this before, but…are y’all friends…? Or family…?”

It isn’t any of his business. He knows it isn’t any of his business. But Lonnie’s been wondering since the boys showed up in town, and especially since Delphi started coming along to the market with ‘em. He can see the knowing look in her eyes as she looks up at the tall, black-haired one with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

In his smooth voice, he replies, “Aside from Delphi here, we’re all brothers. Though they can be a bit of an embarrassment at times.”

The one with bright blond hair and green eyes scoffs, “And you aren’t?”

Lonnie nods, “Got it. So then is Miss Delphi your friend, or…?”

The curly-haired one, Asmo, smiles and wraps his arms around the girl’s shoulders, “Well aren’t you Mister Nosy! We’re a couple, of course! Delphi is the love of my life!”

The one with golden skin and white hair rolls his eyes. “Pff, what’re you talkin’ about? Delphi is my servant.”

Mr. Emo yawns, “I thought the story was that we brought Delphi on as a babysitter…”

Delphi only smiles, shaking her head. If Lonnie didn’t know any better, he’d think this was something she heard daily. She looks at him with a soft smile and says simply, “We’re family.”

With a chuckle, the tall one rests a hand on her shoulder and agrees, “Yes, that much is true.”

Lonnie doesn’t miss her resting her cheek on his hand.

Beel nods along, adding, “The seven of us are brothers, and Delphi here is really special to us.”

Oh.

“Well, I’m glad this little chiclet has y’all to look after her,” he says after beat, taking off his gloves to scratch at the back of his neck.

“These guys? Look after me?” Delphi laughs as she pays for the meat pie Beel is happily digging into. “They’d either kill each other or starve without me around. But thanks, Lonnie. I’ll see y’all at the farmer’s market this weekend?”

“We’ll be there.”

“Good,” she replies with a grin. “Give Prissy and Anna my love!”

They’re gone before Lonnie can process what happened.

🐷

That night, as Lonnie is laying in bed, he turns to face his wife and frowns. “I think Delphi’s sleeping with all of them boys.”

He can practically hear her eyes rolling as Prissy replies, “Hell, Lonnie, you just now figurin’ that out? Anna coulda told you that two weeks ago.”

[ID: 3 digital artworks depicting various human and humanoid ocs. The 1st features a skinny, dark-skinned man with yellow and brown hair, a brown suit with yellow and orange accents, and a rubber ducky isopod perched on his shoulder. His alias is written to be “Ducky”.  2nd image is a doodle page showcasing a couple, consisting of a skinny, light-skinned man with sunset-colored hair and a simple office work getup, and a large, shapeshifting-being with a night sky pattern on their skin. The page features them holding hands, a theoretical species-swap, the nudibranch form of the night being, and the office worker as a teen. The final drawing is of two siblings, both dark skinned and with kinky hair, representing matter and energy respectively. The matter sibling on the left is named Akrit, Lonnie, Elucille, and Meghan, and has four hairbuns resembling shapes (a cube, sphere, etc), a jacket representing liquid, a brick-patterned shirt representing solids, cloud-pattern pants representing gas, and colorful shoes representing plasma. The energy sibling to the right is named Nimisha and has a checkered half-jumpsuit, with shorts and a shirt worn on her left side, a matching brimmed hat, and various earrings and decals representing things that emit light.

Some human/humanoid oc art

Since Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is out I'm now thinking about my own Suicide Squad. I can't remember if I ever talked about them here.

It's made up of Killer Moth, Firefly, Anarky, Ratcatcher, and an OC of mine. If talked about her before, Lexi. The Riddler henchman. I just wanted a group made up of my favorite "lower-tier" villains.

Killer Moth: Drury was assigned as leader of the group. He's the biggest and physically stronger than the rest. He's also smarter than he lets on, using this as an advantage against others who underestimate him. Waller used him as a lab rat before assigning the team, using a formula similar to Dr. Langstrom's Man-Bat serum. Resulting in a giant moth man soldier. Who's kinda adorable for a giant fluffy moth until he starts tearing people apart and drinking their blood. BUT he's a perfect pillow for the rest of the squad.

Firefly: Garfield needed no convincing to join the Squad. Not that he really had a choice. Once he heard he'd get to burn stuff and blow shit up he was all in. Plus, his buddy Drury was gonna be there so it's a win-win!

Anarky: This kid is smart. Waller saw how good they could be as an asset and took advantage of them. Because we all know Waller isn't opposed to using kids to do her dirty work. Lonnie is an angry kid. Justifiably so. They lash out at their teammates and usually don't listen to anyone and especially not Drury. But as much as they say they're not going to listen to Waller they're still a scared kid afraid of dying. So, they aren't going to tell the person who's got the trigger to the bomb in their neck "no". After a while they start to break down their walls and this kid is just seeking comfort. Eventually, Drury becomes a father figure to them.

Ratcatcher: Otis is PISSED. He did NOT fake his own death just to be found by the government and forced into working for them. At the very least he isn't stuck in a cell and Waller has assured him that his daughter is safe. He's very distant from the team at first, keeping to himself and his rats. Surprisingly the least violent of them all. Slowly starts to grow closer to the group, especially Lonnie. Honestly the entire group become Lonnie's new parents.

I've yet to figure out what they're all going to be fighting against. It can't exactly be a huge threat like Kill the Justice League because let's be honest they would not survive an alien invasion.

*cracks knuckles*

this is my oc lonnie, his full legal name is lawrence alonso burton II but he haaaaates it and goes by his middle name instead. his father (lawrence burton) is the leader of a crime syndicate that has basically controlled london since ~1950 (time STC). he's never been very willing in his involvement in the syndicate and has been through a LOT since he was a kid, always being compared to his (deceased) brothers who were apparently a lot better at crimes than he is. but he's the one who's alive, sooooooo...

he wanted to be a stage actor when he was a kid and did really well in school for drama and music, but his father didn't let him pursue a career in the public eye because naturally his family didn't really want to have much publicity if they could help it. also his dad just sucks and wanted him to work for the family instead. bro just wants to ACT ... FREE HIMMMMMMM

he's in a weird unhealthy toxic situationship (turned relationship) with a detective that is actively working on putting his family in jail in it goes really well and nobody dies i promise <3

if u want to know more abt him feel free to ask literally anything i love him soooooo much i love talking abt him !!!! there is so much Lore
