[Detroit!AU: the first to come was a fair maid]

Jonathan's vision was pretty well unmistakable. Gabriel's in danger, and doesn't know it -- or at least doesn't know the specifics.

That would be enough on its own, even if Andrew didn't more or less owe him his life.



Gabriel's nowhere to be seen at Milliways, and no one seems to have run into him in the past couple of days. Well, and that's normal enough; there's no reason he'd be here all the time, and plenty of reason to make himself scarce, all things considered. Maybe he's just back home.

Please just let this not be too late.

Andrew writes out a note at the bar giving Jonathan's vision in as much detail as he can, folds it carefully in quarters, and writes "The Trickster (G.)" on the outside.

He goes very, very still, and watches Andrew in silence.

Lucifer doesn't move.

He remains perfectly silent, watching Andrew with focused intensity.





Seconds tick by. Somewhere outside, a breeze rattles through a tree's branches. No birds sing; no voices are heard.

There's a deep stillness in the room.

The silence stretches.

He's standing in the same casual stance, studying Andrew as though he's some new species of ant that's just done something worthy of note.

Slowly, by near-imperceptible degrees, a smile begins to stretch his lips.

His smile broadens.

He pulls his hands from his pockets, and takes a step forward, closing some of the distance between them.

He laughs, low and dark, but stops where he is.

Instead, Lucifer holds out a hand to Andrew, clearly expecting him to take it.

"Come here, Andrew Wells."

He's still smiling, but there's a weight of utter implacability in his tone.

He raises his eyebrows again, his smile unwavering.

"Do you really want to challenge me on something this minor?"
gavemea_45: (lucifer: a shadow in the dark)

[personal profile] gavemea_45 2010-04-19 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
He lowers his hand.

"So be it."

Without warning, a whirlwind howls out of nothingness and bears down on Andrew, seeking to slam him to his knees.

The wind dies to stillness as soon as Andrew's been forced down. It just means that Lucifer's words drop into the sudden quiet with absolute clarity.

"Let me tell you how this is going to work, Andrew. You're going to do what I command. Sure, you may resist at first, but in the end, you will obey."

He smiles.

"You'll want to."

He takes three quick steps forward and fastens his right hand in Andrew's hair, gripping firmly.

With casual strength, he raises his hand, and Andrew's head along with it, forcing the young man's face upward.

His gaze sharpens, focusing on Andrew's lips, and Lucifer smiles.

"What in me is dark
Illumin,
" he murmurs, joining in with the silent recitation.

"what is low raise and support..."

He laughs, then reaches down, putting his other hand under Andrew's arm, and begins to lift him to his feet.

"And justifie the wayes of God to men," he concludes.

Lucifer's laughter this time is slightly louder, echoing around the room, and both amused and strangely joyous.

"Is that really what you would desire to do, Andrew Wells?"
gavemea_45: (lucifer: smile in gray)

[personal profile] gavemea_45 2010-04-19 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
This time he throws back his head and gives himself over to delighted laughter, full-throated and strong.

"I understand what Sam sees in you."
