"How do you expect me to calm down?!" Lily, Terra, both were the same at this moment, screeched. If it weren't for the people around, she would have electrocuted him into oblivion right now. "He won't even listen to an explanation! And you, you Mr. Truthful! It was your idea to LIE! I'm going to KILL YOU!"
At this point she was right in front of him, close enough that their clothes were brushing. Her hand fisted in his shirt, and if looks could kill.... Man. She'd never looked so angry.

Unfortunately, Lucent picked this exact moment to show up. Jay's eyes glowed with an inner light, narrowed in contempt, "Do not choose this moment to blame me for what happened." he said, squaring his shoulders, not longer afraid, "The mistake was both of ours, and if you will stop acting like a petulant child, we will fix it together."
Light's extreme dislike for Earth hadn't really started until after he'd found out about their child. This was the biggest lie that he had ever told: to himself. It was that it was Lily's fault that she had lost their child. In reality it had been her parents' fault, but the truth was harder to come to terms with.

His words made sense. And she'd been about to say that it was neither of their faults and try to calm down enough to figure things out... but then she'd heard his thoughts. Heard the blame for her losing her- their son. And fury rose it's head again.
Quicker than she'd thought possible, before she even had time to think about it, she cocked her fist back and then hit him squarely in the face, the full weight of her body behind the punch.
"Don't you ever- EVER!- blame me for losing him, you bastard!" she screamed. "I tried to hold onto him. If I could have, I would have killed my own parents just to keep him with me! I would have done anything! But they took him when I was at my weakest and though I searched as best I could, he was nowhere I could find him! So don't you ever try to place this on me. Use my son against me!"
She pulled her fist back again, just to punch him in the jaw this time before turning swiftly on her heel and stalking off. No doubt she'd hit him hard enough to leave nice big bruises too. Served him right, the jerk.

Tabs had watched this whole scene with mild shock, and slight amusement. Who would have thought Terra and Lucient would... But she was logical enough that she knew something must have happened to have put them in that situation. Those two were like oil and water. And then a master plan occurred to her.
So, it was without words that she grabbed Light by his arm and dragged him out of the library and pushed him into a taxi. She had a good sense of where the other old powers were at any given moment and promptly gave the address to Air's location. And throughout made sure not to let Light out at any point until they'd arrived there and then dumped him out of the taxi.
"Let us call this Life playing Puppet Master," she said with a mysterious smile. "Besides, you're not the only one who had children in the past."
With a wink she signaled for him to call her later and took off in the taxi cab. While she'd been holding him down in the cab, she'd shoved a paper with her number on it in his pants pocket.

No. No no. Nuh-uh. Nope. No way. He was not going to talk to Rui right now. Nope. Hmm-mmm.
He did, however leave a note with Rui's cat telling him where he could be found for his vengeance or whatever. The short car ride had given him enough to think about that he'd already formed a plan.
