More fanfic OC!

[A certain someone is back in Wankerville. Not that he knows he's 'back' just yet. Much has happened since the last time he was here, if one could even say he was here at all. He was a different person then. He's a different person now. About a year and a half have passed, but it feels like a lifetime. He's Lex Luster Jr., though he no longer has a passport to prove it. The only identity he legally has is Sam-Sara Bardo's, because Interpol takes the protection program very seriously and so should he. Not that he's wearing Sam-Sara's mask or even his clothing. His appearance, from the thick woolen sweater with long sleeves to his favorite scarf, is very much Lex.

The memories from before are so vague that they don't reach him through the initial panic.

The first thought that strikes him is that he's not supposed to be here. Not out in the open. Not like this. He doesn't have anything to cover his face- what if someone recognizes him- what if they think he broke his house arrest agreement again? He didn't mean to! He doesn't know why he's here at all, or how. What if this was the last straw? What if they decide to overturn the penal committee's suggestion for real this time? What if they lock him away for good, or finally subject him to that long overdue execution? That's so unfair! He didn't choose to leave the house! He didn't choose to leave Benny-

-Benny. Shit shit shit. Is he okay? Does he know what happened? Did someone attack him in order to move Lex from the house? Why go through so much trouble and then leave him in some abandoned village in the first place? Is he even near L.A. anymore? What is going on?-

His immediate reaction to the reeling train of thought that he can't control or make sense of is to hide. To find somewhere safe and regain his composure there. Phantom or no Phantom, hiding is his first answer to everything. Hiding is that one instinct he's had since childhood that never left- not once. Hide and then wait to be found by someone trustworthy, no matter how long it takes. No matter how agonizing it is to feel alone and abandoned.

Once he can actually get his feet to move, he sprints towards the nearest house to yank the door open. Somehow, the fact that it's unlocked doesn't strike him as odd at all. It seems almost natural for it to be open to anyone. He darts inside and slams the door shut behind himself again, then allows his knees to buckle. He hits the ground with a thud. After all the training Benny's been putting him through, he'd been doing so well with controlling his emotional instability. He'd made such great progress. With the way he's hyperventilating into his hands, all that progress sure feels insignificant.]

Friends... You really think that's what it was?

[The memories are still a bit of a blur, but one thing's for certain: the Phantom had no friends, nor did 'Bobby Fulbright'. Bobby could claim to be someone's friend- could claim to care about them and act accordingly, but is that really worth something without genuine trust?]

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-27 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
Um... yeah? Of course I do! Sure, you had secrets... and probably an issue or two [because people wearing different faces isn't exactly normal] but we were partners when we needed to work together, and I've valued you as a friend for a while!

[Then again, she's not without her issues either. After all, she's been desperately clinging to people while at the same time trying to keep them away, all because she's afraid of what she might do if she loses control. A potential omnicidal maniac isn't good company, but at the same time she hates being alone...]
skirtcladgunner: (☽ something more than a fragment)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-27 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Why's that? [Hands on hips.] You know, I'd settle for you just feeling better. Or we could always talk about it...
skirtcladgunner: (☽ hey what's up?)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-28 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Lex, huh...?

[Fortunately, she (for once) has enough true smiles for both of them, her own deepening into a grin.]

Cute name.
skirtcladgunner: (☽ maybe you're not so bad)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-28 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I say so! [She laughs for a moment before her expression softens again.] ...it's nice to finally know your name.
skirtcladgunner: (☽ just believe in me)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-28 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, really important. [Says the girl who took the last name of a super villain because he became more of a father to her than her biological one, but doesn't that just prove the point more in a way?] You didn't seem to think so when I saw you last, though. Must be part of that "long story" you mentioned, eh?
skirtcladgunner: (☽ faced with uncertainty)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-29 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
...huh? You mean Benny?

[She looks thoughtful for a moment.]

Yeah, I think he's still here. I mean, he was the last time I checked.
skirtcladgunner: (☽ well you see...)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-29 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't know that you knew him that well! [Did they meet when Lex was disguising himself? When Benny said that "Bobby" was one of his clients, did he really mean Lex? There's a lot of questions that could be asked, here.] I mean, I knew you two were probably from the same world, but...

[There's a "probably" there because there's always that possibility of an alternate version of the same world, and she damn well knows that.]
skirtcladgunner: (☽ . . . sigh.)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-29 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah. Don't I know it...

[Holding her arm and looking away, because it's only been a little over two years since the Riddler disappeared. A little over two years since she's had to start fighting the little voice that urges her to put everyone out of their misery.]

...but, heh. It sounds like you know him pretty well now.

skirtcladgunner: (☽ i dare you to try it)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-29 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
The two of you friends, then? [That's a logical conclusion to come to, isn't it?]
skirtcladgunner: (☽ now you've got my interest)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-29 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh? Well, I guess we are. We did some serious bonding over cats! [There are few things that are better to bond over than cute animals.] Oh, right! He took in some kittens a while back.
skirtcladgunner: (☽ WE. ARE DOING. THE THING.)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-06-30 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I think they're doing all right! They should be way past the age where you can determine if they're boys or girls, too. I guess I should ask Benny if he took me up on using the name I thought up, haha...

[Because cookie-themed names are best names, what are you talking about...]
skirtcladgunner: (☽ everything will be all right)

[personal profile] skirtcladgunner 2015-07-02 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It's Nilla!

[Make fun of her, Lex. She dares you.]
