The Roof, Sunday Evening

[likethegun]

Lucifer was back on the roof in the evening, looking out over the town and wondering where to go from here. He couldn't act with Michael in town, and he honestly wasn't sure if he could win if Michael tried to fight him. He wasn't hiding here - it was a tactical retreat, and considering the fun he'd had with the humans yesterday, he was certain there was more entertainment to be had while he made his plans.

Claire had managed to avoid the crazy people today. But this evening, she was feeling stifled and decided to head up to the roof since she hadn't been in a while.

She was pleased to see Sam, even though his suit surprised her. "Hey, Sam. Why are you all dressed up tonight?"

[likethegun]

Lucifer turned at the sound of his vessel's name, and smiled. Another pretty girl? He really had lucked out with Sam. "No reason in particular. I'm trying something new," he said. "What brings you up here?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Needed some fresh air," Claire said. "And wanted to avoid running in to more crazy people. How's your weekend been?"

[likethegun]

"Quite full of crazy people," Lucifer said. It wasn't a lie, after all. "Someone managed to climb up here last night. It was funny, at least."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Climbed up the outside of the building you mean?" Claire asked. "Huh, we usually rappel down it, but I guess climbing up would work."

[likethegun]

"He was pretending to be a superhero," Lucifer said. "You're not going to tell me you're a superhero too, are you?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah," Claire joked, assuming that Sam was teasing her. "You know me. I love to run around in tights and save people."

[likethegun]

"Really?" he said, taking her at her word. "But not tonight? I have to say, I'm kind of disappointed now."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Of course you are," she said, still figuring he was joking. Because, hey, she was a Petrelli. "I'm sure you totally wanted to check me out."

[likethegun]

"In tights?" Lucifer smirked as he looked her up and down. "You can't tell me that wouldn't be a nice sight."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Okay, even Petrellis occasionally figured out that something wasn't quite right. And Sam looking at her that way? Was definitely not right.

"Uh, Sam? You know I love you and all but that's really kind of creepy, all things considered."

You know, all things being the fact that Sam was in love with her uncle.

[likethegun]

She really was adorable being all confused, and no matter what people said, Lucifer wasn't totally heartless. "Sorry. I probably should have mentioned that Sam's not here anymore," he said, dropping the act. It was easier if people knew, wasn't it?

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Well that didn't sound good. "And who might you be?"

[likethegun]

"I'm Lucifer," he said with a grin. "What's your name?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire gaped. "L-L-Lucifer? Like the devil?"

[likethegun]

"Very good. You're not as blonde as you look," he said. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you." Yet, of course.

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"What did you do to Sam?" she demanded.

[likethegun]

"Nothing that I wasn't supposed to," Lucifer said. "This has been his destiny since he was born, to be my vessel on Earth. Are you going to get all angry at me like that Chuck kid did? Because there's really no point."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"If you did anything to hurt Sam or Chuck, you're going to regret it," Claire said.

Because even if he was Lucifer, she wasn't going to let him get away with hurting her friends.

[likethegun]

"Really?" Lucifer said, breaking into a laugh. "Chuck is fine, but just out of curiosity, what would you do if he wasn't?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Find someone to hurt you," Claire said. She was pretty sure she couldn't, but she was equally sure that there was someone in Fandom who could.

"You didn't say what you did with Sam."

[likethegun]

"No offense, but I'm not really feeling very threatened right now," Lucifer said. "Considering the people I've met here, being hurt isn't really a concern. And Sam is all right, so to speak. He's still here, tucked away in his body, although I don't think that'll last for very long."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

The big problem Claire was having right now was not being sure if this was part of the weird weekend stuff or a legitimate issue.

"And what is it you're actually planning to do here?"

[likethegun]

"Right now, I'm still coming to terms with how I got here," Lucifer said. "After that...it's nothing you need to worry about, trust me."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"How did you get here?" Claire asked. "Because I gotta tell you, Sam is important to me and a whole lot of other people. We aren't just going to sit back and let you destroy him."

[likethegun]

"I'm not destroying him. I'm making him part of something special." The apocalypse was a very special occasion, after all. "I told you, it's his destiny. I was released from hell and...well, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but he must have agreed to let me in. And now I'm here."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire knew there was absolutely no way Sam would let Lucifer in. Maybe two weeks ago. But not now that Peter was alive.

"What are you making him part of?"

She had her suspicions, of course.

[likethegun]

He didn't want to have to spell it out, but he didn't think she'd stop asking until he did. "The end of the world, blondie. Your world, at least. I'm going to make this a much better place."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"How will it be better if you destroy it?"

Claire had no idea why she was trying to reason with Lucifer.
