 Tomatoes go here. Laura

Hi, Great piece. I'm not a fan of vampire ot Luthor. The man slumped to the ground, his handsome face relaxed. LaCroix yanked him up and bared his neck before sinking his teeth into the now-pliant flesh. He pulled the warm, sweet, life giving essence into his mouth, drawing eagerly at the sustenance. It tasted different than any other blood he had ever partaken of. It tasted… delicious. He swallowed one mouthful, then two before the burning sensation started. Poor Clark!  "Let me see," Natalie ordered, pulling his face toward her as she examined the burns minutely. "Open up," she said, pulling a tongue depressor out of her pocket and looking around his mouth. "The burns will heal… You hunted Superman? I guess that gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'fast food'." She grinned at him impudently as Nick walked into the kitchen, having overheard the conversation.
He shot a quizzical glance at LaCroix. "Father, I'm afraid that this serves you right--just like last time. You're lucky to still be alive; haven't you heard yet? Superman is… solar powered." Interesting.  MAF

Don't like Luthor, unfinished, untitled and crossover story, and people that promises and don't deliver. I'm getting choosy with age.

He's a bit short in the old brains department, ain't he? :rolleyes: But he keeps on trying.   LabRat 
Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

That story wasthe longest joke I've heard in a while. I even heard the 'rim shot' in my head when I read the punch line.
Funny, thanks for the story.

<g> Glad ya'll liked my decent back into weirdness. LaCroix is smart enough that he's survived as a vampire since Vesuvius erupted, but I just decided to have some fun at his expense. Laura

Very funny, Laura. Maybe LaCroix was getting a little *too* sure of himself, hmm?
