Since she didnt have the Death Note any more, Lance uses poison.
Lance knows, technically of course, that this life is here only because the Shinigami King found her very amusing, and let her and Red go through the cycle of reincarnation. However, she still remembers everything, and shes spent so long as a Shinigami that she just cant quite see it any other way.
She kept her wings, because they were always hers, bought between one breath and a lie and half her life. Red keeps the eyes, permanent crimson, to read names and numbers and dates out loud, though it is no good now.
Lance doesnt care.
Shes very careful, crushing flowers and leaves into powder and distilling carefully, one drop, two drops, three, and in between assignments shell take Red out and theyll fly in the shadows where they wont be seen, and Red will smile and say that shes still pretty, theyre both pretty, and that isnt this the way things should be?
Red was a pretty Shinigami, all gilt-gold with gems set into her skeletal frame. Lance remembers that well.
Now Red has long hair again, dark and full, and she wears pretty dresses with flounces, and shes a picture-perfect model without any surgery, and Lance laughs when she hears the producers whisper about how wonderful she is.
If only they knew.
The last man who tried to sleep with Red dissolved.
Lance doesnt like people. She doesnt like murderers, or rapists, or any other criminals. But she doesnt have the Death Note, so she contents herself with killing off the obvious ones every so often. She flies through the night and she poisons everything they need, and well, the police cant catch her now she has no fingerprints.
Shes not completely human, after all.
Red understands. Red always followed her blindly, and it makes her sad, a little, and she wonders how Red would have turned out if she hadnt been so obsessed with Kira, once upon a time, but mostly she enjoys Reds company and doesnt think about what might have been, and Red doesnt mind.
One day, maybe, theyll catch her, but until then, she mixes chemicals, and while she waits for them to percolate, she takes Red out for ice cream sundaes and they walk in the park and are happy.

I already know I have issues. ^^ And I like happy endings! This is of course, set in the Death Note universe I wrote.
