Almas was sitting on the steps in front of the Labs, relaxing in the quiet of the fenced in yard and watching as his son rushed back and forth through the white snow. It was falling again today, only making the snow deeper... It was already up to Luthor's knees, much more and he would have to bring them inside so the little spawn didn't get lost among the white.
He gave a little gasp then a giggle when Luthor tripped, falling forward and disapeared among the white for a long moment... then his head popped up, eyes looking surprised and some what amused as he adjusted his hat on his head. He was dressed warmly, a big hat, thick coat, boots, gloves, the works.... Almas wasn't about to risk him catching a cold when he was so new to the world... it just wouldn't be right.
"Becareful!" He called out, giving a smile.
The boy waved a hand at him to show he was fine before digging around, he found his snow covered pink pig plush and went dashing off once more, holding it in the air like a brightly colored flag.

There was the sound of the gate closing strange...they weren't expecting anyone. But it was surprising to see the standardized suit wearing man with silver hair and gold eyes coming up the shoveled walk way.
He didn't appear cold as he was wearing a jacket over his suit thoguh it wasn't done up. his hands were shoved in his pockets as he moved forward his eyes slid closed before he looked up and noticed Almas. A sneer was on his face when out of the corner of his eye a figure popped up and out of the snow.
He stiffened and paused his head turned to look upon the little one frolocking in the snow. One could almost see a shimmer around his body, as very breifly his true form flickered into being before being smothered back under his disguise. Raising a hand out of his pocket he put it to his forhead breifly before turning back to walk towards Almas.

Almas looked toward the gate, running his mind through the different apointments and when they were scheduled... none came to mind for today... he saw instead of a young spawn the one in charge of the Labs. The Fallen rose to his feet, not liking the sneer on Vampy's face but felt himself relaxing when Vampy continued toward him after spending only a moment worth of time watching Luthor play.
"Welcome back." He greeted him, having no clue that the man had ever left... then again he spent most of his time with Luthor of late since it felt like his boss no longer needed him for anything.
Luthor paused mid stride looking over his shoulder at the tall man that was walking toward his Daddy and he shifted in place. He wasn't sure that he liekd seeing Almas smile at other people... he wante to keep his Daddy all to himself he thought for a moment, tightening his hold on his plushing before he slowly resumed his play... though not without looking over at them from time to time.

The man didn't respond as he then moved to continue around the other before he stopped, he didn't look at Almas but he seemed to take a deep breath before he released it slowly, as if amused that he could see his breath form before him.
"Having fun with with the bane of my existance?" He murmured with chuckle as he rolled a shoulder trying to ignore that tingling sensation he felt around his collar. He was smiling as he looked down at Almas though it was not a kind smile. What he has said in passing though sounding like a joke was indeedly serious.
His gaze flickered quickly behind him and then back to Almas a smirk on his face.

Almas looked over to where the boy was playing and gave a sighing sound, "He's barely a baby... he can't exactly be the bane of anything." He said, not looking over at Vampy at the moment. He didn't trust him in this matter... Vampy said he would destroy anything he saw as a failure. As such he wanted to make sure that his son remained a good distance away from the Boss.
"Though... as for if I am having fun. I suppose the answer is yes, I haven't been this happy for a long time." He murmured, lifting his hands up to lay them over his heart, "Its a nice feeling to have someone to take care of like this."

The fallen could of made him gag as he placed his hand over his heart. It was a bit much for the man as he felt that inching in his skin again. He shifted annoyed at it.
"Then we have something in common at least... but I am not sure how long this other one will last.." He smirked and then laughed before he took another step and stopping once again.
He looked up into the sky and then smirked. "Should come inside...I have something to show you .." He murmured with something dangeruos in his tone.

Almas look over at him, "Will last?" He murmured, finding himself curious as to what Vampy was up too... and what they suddenly had in common. In fact the look on his face, his laugh... it all worried the Fallen to some degree.
"I will join you in a moment." He said, turning around to look at his son then called out to him, "Luthor! Come on! We are going inside for a little bit!" He held up a hand, making a motion to call the boy to him.
The little boy gave a look that clearly said going inside was the last thing he wanted to do, shifted in place, then gave a huffing sound as he hurried forward and reached out to grab hold of Almas's hand in one of his. He stay close to him, puting the Fallen between himself and the tall, scary man... following Almas's lead as they headed inside.
"What is it your wanting to show me?"

The man ignored the call out for the brat to come. How dare he name him.....that. Angered to some degree he didn't give the child a glance as they stepped inside. In fact...it was apparant that he was ignoring Luthor jr completely.
"Yes its a little project I have been working on...I am sure you will be amused when you see it." He explained as he took off his jacket and hung it up on an pro-offered arm from a tech who rushed to his side.
"Very amusing indeed..." he continued with a laugh as he strode forward down the length of the hall his hands behind his back.

Almas gave a smile as they walked along, taking in how Vampy seemed to be pointedly ignoring Luthor. It was a good sign, it meant that the man wanted nothing to do with him... truth be told that made the Fallen happy. He really... didn't want his son around the demon. Vampy was dangerous, he had his own agenda, and Almas wouldn't see Luthor hurt by it.
"I see, well its good to see that you have been keeping busy." The Fallen murmured, having an inkling that he wasn't going to be at all amused by whatever it was the demon was up to because Vampy himself was so very much so... he would get through whatever they were doing and bring Luthor so he could go back to his game.
The young boy shifted as they walked along, shrugging out of his coat. He watched, facinated as one of those boring humans took the coat from the tall man. Woah... if only he could get them to do that for him he thought to himself before holding the coat up to Almas who took it from him along with the mittens, hat, and scarf.
Once it was out of his grasp he set to scratching at his shoulder, his shirt making his scales itch. He'd take if off if he thought he could get away with it.

They walked down the hall a bit and then took the elevator down a floor then as the exited he turned towards the labratories. Almas would know this area well...for he had gotten his suplise to make Luthor from it.
Perhaps it was a growing sense of dread that was seeping off of the man. His aura ...rich and dark purple seeped out in flickers as if he was far to excited to care. Everyone knew better than to question him.
"I want everyone out please. Just a few minutes." He instructed as he pushed the door open to the facility. There was a pause...and suddenly the room was vacated. No one would make eye contact with their boss...the fear was evident.
Once the room was empty he started to hum. A strange hum...it sounded like the death march.

Almas shifted in place, watching the tech flee as fast as their feet would take him... and for a moment he wondered if Vampy had brought the two of them there to kill them somewhere out of the way. His eyes narrowed a bit and he moved to put himself more firmly between Vampy and his son, "As... amusing as this all is. How about you show me why we are here."
Not that he really found it or the fact that Vampy was humming amusing at all, a part of him just wanted to kick the man... he refrained and just stood at the ready.
Luthor peeked around his Daddy, looking up at the tall man... wondering why he was humming... it sounded strange, music coming from a man as scary as that he thought, hands catching hold of Almas and clung to him tightly.

The man stopped as he came before a container...a large one. In the center of it floated a child that looked just a wee bit younger than Luthor jr himself.
"Why so serious?..." He asked as he looked at Almas a wicked gleam in his eye. He then laughed and patted the tube lightly. "After all you know where all the children come from...even...that one hiding behind your back." He murmured his eyes, golden eyes latching onto Luthor jr's small form.
"This one...will be perfect..." He announced as he looked back up to the small form floating in the container.

Almas starred at the tank for a long moment, at the child that was sleeping inside of it... and then he turned to look over at Vampy for a long, drawn out moment, "I... see." He murmured, mind whirling over this. Vampy was obviously proud of himself over this one... looked somewhat like Shar if his rib bones went around his shoulders instead of his chest... the rest of him was a little odd, somewhat scaly. Did he somehow get two sorts of demonic powers to mix together without going badly? Or was that why he said he didn't know how long it would last?
Luthor starred up at the tank for a long moment to before he tightened his grasp on Almas, tugging. He wasn't sure what was going on but he wanted nothing to do with a sibling! He wouldn't share and wanted to leave now, before his Daddy got any ideas. He didn't like this floating kid nor did he like the tall, scary man, "Go, now." He murmured to Almas.
The Fallen looked over at him then gave him a smile, "In just a moment." He murmured before looking over at Vampy, "Is this all you wanted to show me?" He felt as though he were missing something... Vampy looked so proud of himself.

The sneer on his face was not easilly missed, even if he was't looking directly at Almas. "Is..that all?" he answered before he looked back to Almas his form rather stiff.
"This...isn't any normal child...this is a clone...this one...will..." he paused as if something caught his eye. he looked back to the child floating in the tank and then he looked rather serious.
"Like all...true demons...to the victor ..go the spoils... the weak mearly pave the way for their scucess...and...die." he continued his tone sounding more and more forboding as he went on.
"I do not tolerate failure...I have given up much to aquire this DNA...." His eyes flickered to Luthor again, "And I intend to show you the true strength of the underworld with this one..."

Almas felt a bit of a headache building between his eyes, "Will not tolerate failor..." He looked at the vessel that held the child before lifting a hand to rub at that point between his eyes, "Your aware that he won't contain the 'true strength of the underworld' right? Hes a baby... You are going to need to give him time to grow up before hes off proving anything."
He really, really hoped that Vampy understood that... and even as a clone it wouldn't be exactly like its... wait... clone, "Wait... that is one entity?" He asked, taking a step closer, "Where...?" Where had he gotten such a weird creature from? Where was it from and what exactly was it? Like no other demon he'd seen before.
What worried him more was the fact that he'd 'given up much to aquire it'... what did that mean? Knowing Vampy it was more deals and he was guessing with someone shady, "How dangerous is the one you had to give something up to?"
