any, any, "I'm long past believing in anything. Justice least of all."

Fool's Gold (Supernatural, Sam/Lucifer)

"I'm long past believing in anything. Justice least of all." Sam sighs, and Lucifer hadn't expected his offer to fall on deaf ears. It had worked with Nick, with countless other humans - revenge was all it took to gain their loyalty - or at least, revenge masquerading as justice.

He can't understand then, why Sam looks so defeated. Not after Lucifer has offered him justice for the great wrongs of his life. "I swear to you Sam, Jessica didn't deserve,"

"You're right," Sam cuts him off, "she didn't." And Lucifer can feel the pang of hurt that accompanies the thought in his vessel, but Sam still sounds tired when he continues. "But it's done, and getting even won't bring her back. I know that now. About as well as I know not to trust your claims of empty justice. When are you going to learn Lucifer?"

Learn what? He stands opposite his vessel, and it's like staring into a mirror and the face of a stranger at the same time. Dissorienting to say the least. He's supposed to be in charge here; Sam's supposed to say yes, but it would appear that this vessel thinks he knows something Lucifer doesn't.

"What then? What's your great pearl of wisdom Sam? Inquiring minds want to know." His tone is mocking, but Lucifer can't help being the slightest bit curious.

"Revenge is as pointless as your pride," Sam tells him, chin held high, "you can't imagine a world where you don't get your way, where I don't say yes to you. Didn't you think the same about being cast from heaven? The difference between you and me," Sam continues, the insolent little cockroach, "is that I've lived in a world I have no control over, and I've learned better. I told you I'm past believing in anything, and I am.

"I'm done believing in your plan; I'm done believing in destiny, and I'm saying right now that I will never say yes to you."

Lucifer schools his face into a patient expression, because Sam just doesn't understand. He is human, he sees only darkly - can't comprehend the vastness that is the universe, that is the master plan.

He's not reaching Sam tonight, it's quickly obvious. Sam is stubborn. So, Lucifer leaves him to wax poetic all he likes, already trying to come up with his next offer, because Sam will say yes to him. It's human nature, it's destiny, and Sam was made for him.

Inside though; inside he thinks of the insolence, the casual way Sam brought up the fall, and his unshakable certainty that he will be the one calling the shots. It's laughable.

Lucifer burns down a city and he rages.
