Lucifer's refused to go to the Horizon and see him because he has to focus on their investigations, and Istredd understands that. However it's more likely they'll end up martyrs if they wait around.

The best defense is an offense, or at least pushing it to the limit. Istredd is not the warrior here, not even close, but he was trained to fight in other ways. And everything in him is saying they have to get out. There's only so much longer before they start to kill each other. ]

Not the smartest idea, but they have limited choices. The notch where the charm goes into practically begs for what is missing.

Istredd sighs and much like with Castiel, all he can really do is back up Steve here, and hope for the best. ]
