Trooper Station - Saturday

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Lust stalked through the trooper station, vague memories flashed through his mind, but they were of little consequence to him now. Humans were weak, inferior to homunculi and yet, a part of him wished that he understood why the human whose face he wore held such great value to this place.

It had something to do with protecting human lives. Lust sneered and let his hand trail over the desk before he leaned against it, considering the empty lobby. Human lives were nothing but raw material to create the philosopher's stone and to give him power. He absently touched the ouroboros sign on his chest, his shirt unbuttoned and showing off unmarred skin. Already in this was he better, more perfect than the human in his memories. So why did he...?

No, he needed to find an alchemist. Or maybe he could have some fun in this town. He did like fun.

((And Roy is now a AU version of Lust, one of the homunculi in FMA.))

There was gust of wind followed by the appearance of a man in blue tights and a red cape.

"Excuse me," said the man in tights. "I'm looking for the sheriff in charge of this police station."

Lust leaned forward, eyes moving over the man who obviously had no taste at all. Still... he stepped closer, taking in the muscle and a slow smirk played across his lips. "And who might you be then?" he asked, almost purring.

"Just a concerned citizen," Superman replied. "I suddenly appeared here this morning and thought it might be a good idea to check in with the local law enforcement."

Supes looked at the young man carefully.

"Do you happen to work here?"

Concerned citizens were always so easy to play with. "You could say that," he replied, sounding thoughtful. "What are you worried about, soldier?"

"Actually I was hoping to learn where I was and how I got here," Superman said scanning the room. "I know I'm in a place called Fandom but this is the first I've heard of the place and it seems to be a long way from Metropolis."

"Fandom is everywhere and nowhere," Lust explained, circling the man as he tried to measure him. "Humans from all realities come here. Some are boring, others powerful," he leaned closer. "Which are you, soldier?"

"I'm not a soldier," Superman said keeping an eye on him. "I'm just a person who's trying to figure out what is going on. So this place... It's like another dimension?"

Smirking, Lust pulled back. "If that's what you want to call it. Are you an alchemist?"

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Alchemist?" Superman echoed, "No. Just your average alien who has adopted earth as its homeworld and vice versa. Do you mind if I use the telephone? My Justice League Communicator seems to be on the fritz."

Shame, it could have been fun playing with this one. Find out what went through the calm. "There's a phone behind the desk," Lust replied.

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," he said and just as he was about to pick up the phone he cocked his head as if listening to something.

Yes. There it was. A npc young girl crying and what appeared to be a cat meowing. Probably stuck up a tree.

"This will have to wait to later," Supes said giving the man a little salute. "Thank you for your assistance."

And with that he jumped into the air and began to fly away.

"Up! Up! And away!"
