We Know Why the Caged Knox Sings

Mar 13, 2005 00:45

Continued from hereFred, Faith and Lorne are keen to track down Knox and make him sing so we can figure out what's going on. I look over at my twin and shrug; it's the best idea any of us can come up with and, honestly, probably the quickest way for us to get into the little weasel's mind ( Read more... )

I find the proper incantation from my books, then after eading over it quickly to be sure I'm ready, I smile at Fred and walk up to Knox. "Any last words?" He starts to speak, but one glare from Faith stops him. "No? All right, then ( ... )

"Klyv mat chyvma, klvma chyt."

When Wesley speaks the words that open the portal, for a moment, I'm back in Professor Sidel's office. I remember how much saying that incantation took out of me, how much power it drains, and I can see Wesley working hard and silently to control the magicks through the crackles of electricity.

When we get ready to push Knox in, I look at him on last time. I hate him for what he's done and tried to do to me and Wesley, but most of all, I hate him for the fact that he almost managed to convince me that this place and the people who work here aren't that bad. I know for certain now that there is no "not so bad" with Wolfram and Hart - everything about it is evil and corrupt, no matter how we try to sugarcoat it or claim that our influence can have an impact. I thought I could trust the people I work with and look where it's gotten me...and us.

"One...two...three. Push!"And with that, he's gone. Sucked into the portal, never to return if we have our way. The incantation opened to a very dark world ( ... )

I'd like nothing more than to get out of here - go somewhere, anywhere else. It's really too early for Chinese food, though I hate to tell Lorne that, but breakfast would sound good right about now. Especially after all the night's events.

Which reminds me of something. We forgot all about it in our haste to deal with Knox.

"Ummm...what about the results from the blood tests you were running in the lab?" I ask Fred, who turns her head to look back at me. I hate to remind her of this after all she's been through - Knox wanted to murder her after all, but a part of me wants to know for certain that I'm not some sort of...monster. "Would those be ready by now?"

sciencegrl_fred March 20 2005, 22:58:51 UTC

"What about the results from the blood tests you were running in the lab? Would those be ready by now?"

The DNA tests. I had forgotten all about them and probably wouldn't have remembered them until much later, probably about the time I next walked into the lab though truth be told, the way I'm currently feeling, I'd be very happy never to go in there again. Not that that's really possible, of course, but at least Knox will never be there again.

I glance over at the clock on the wall. "Yeah, the should be really by now." I look up over at Wesley - my Wesley, the one I'm standing next to - again and absently reach out to rub my hand on his arm. "Do you want to go see what they say?"

_hot_wesley_ March 20 2005, 23:33:53 UTC

My twin mentions the blood tests and, suddenly, I'm reminded of our current...er...situation. I have a twin - that's the theory, at least - and if the blood work verifies that theory, all four of us will need to discuss them. Whether they're good or bad, it must be dealt with. As if things weren't confusing enough around here; now there's a duplicate of myself running about.

Then, I'm brough out of my reverie by Fred's hand on my arm.

"Do you want to go see what they say?"

I glance over at my mirror image before answering. "Yes. I believe that would be best. Let's get it out of the way."

Get it out of the way, indeed. I want to know who or what we have become. No telling what that evil little toad weasel man did.

"Who wants Chinese?"

Chinese? For breakfast? Don't think so, man. "Thanks, but I think we'll pass," I tell Lorne. Huh...guess I'm answerin' for Ace now. Didn't even realize I'd done it, 'til it was outta my mouth. Passin' a glance at Twin Boy, I quickly correct myself. "I mean...I'll pass. Ace, here, might want to; although, I doubt it."

"Suit yourself, Raven-Locks. I might just dine alone, if Wes II says no."

"I believe I'll decline, as well, Lorne. Perhaps another time?"

"Another time, it is. Later, kids!"

Green Guy leaves, and it's just the four of us again. Can we say 'awkward'? I mean, fuck!, Ace and I got bouncy right before Lorne, Fred, and Wes walked in. I like Fred, don't get me wrong, but after seein' her pissed off at that Knox guy? I'm kinda worried what her reaction will be when we tell her.

If we tell her.

Speakin' of Science Girl, we need to check the results from her tests on Wes and...Earl? EARL! Ladies and Gentleman, we have a winner! Oh, god, he'll hate that name. Definitely usin' it, ( ... )

gfs_wesleypryce March 21 2005, 00:30:13 UTC

Earl? Did she just call me Earl? Dear God, she called me Earl.

I shoot her a pained look as we follow Wesley and Fred out of the office and upstairs to the lab. I guess Earl isn't that bad. I do need a name of my own, and I really don't want to go with my middle name, considering it's the same as my father's, and that just something I really don't want to have attached to me full time.

Earl. She had to pick Earl.

Listen to me, though. I'm thinking as though I'm actually going to be able to stay here.

It wouldn't be that bad, though. Maybe.

sciencegrl_fred March 21 2005, 00:52:32 UTC

The four of us make our way to the lab after Lorne leaves us - I don't blame him for wanting to get away. It hasn't been the best of mornings...nights...whatever. God, I just realized that we've gone yet another night through without resting ( ... )

_badass_slayer_ March 24 2005, 19:35:49 UTC

We head to Fred's lab, and she talks to one of her assistants before sharin' the results with us. I'm practically holdin' my breath, cuz I don't think I could handle it if somethin' was wrong with...Earl.

"The blood running through your veins...is exactly the same as that running through his. Nothing strange, nothing demonic - all one-hundred percent human male."

"I could've told ya that," I mumble to myself. The one-hundred percent male thing? I got a very nice eyeful of, earlier in Lorne's office.

"Basically, you two really are twin brothers, just with the same memories up until the point of the accident. And currently, everything looks stable - I think we're going to have both of you around for a while."

"He better stick around, cuz I'm not returnin' him," I say, jokingly...but not really. It's weird since there are two Wesleys, but the one standin' next to me? Is definitely different, somehow. Dunno. Can't put my finger on it, but Earl's not exactly like Wes. And, I think I'm gonna give myself a serious migraine, ( ... )

gfs_wesleypryce March 24 2005, 19:50:58 UTC

"Hear that, Ace. You're a-okay.

She's right. I'm not some kind of monstrosity or something that's going to fall apart. I'm fine. Relief settles over me like a blanket, and I give Faith a grin back, knowing that we're going to have to have a really long talk now.

"Does he get a lollipop for bein' such a good boy?"

That is so totally Faith-like. I wonder if that talk of ours is going to end in bloodshed, the way we tend to act around each other. Before I can retort back to her, though, she pinches my cheeks. Pinched my cheeks. Good lord, this girl is insufferable.

And then she kisses me.

In front of my twin and Fred. Fred, of all people.

I was rather hoping that we could talk about this before Fred found out something had happened between us. At least figure out how to explain it to her.

Leave it to Faith to dive in head first without thinking. Although it was actually comforting to know that some things didn't change ( ... )

_hot_wesley_ March 24 2005, 23:11:17 UTC

I am greatly relieved that, neither my twin or myself, have anything unusual in our blood. At least, the weasel Knox didn't bugger things up worse than they already are; that's a weight off my shoulders.

Is it my imagination, or is Faith flirting with the other me? I'm about to shift my focus back to Fred, when suddenly, Faith gives the twin a kiss.

Oh, dear. I think my little chat with Faith is going to happen sooner rather than later, now. I have a sneaky suspicion I know what she was doing with me...er...him, when Fred and I walked into Lorne's office.

I chance a glance at Fred, wondering what she's making of this...intriguing, new development. My twin fumbles about for an apology, but he doesn't get very far, because Faith announces that she's hungry. He agrees to take her to breakfast, then turns to Fred and I to extend the invite.

"Ummmm...did you want to accompany us? Or...?"

Since Fred is still staring at them in shock, I decide to answer. "I believe we should all go, don't you, love? There are important things ( ... )

sciencegrl_fred March 24 2005, 23:35:52 UTC

She kissed him.

Faith kissed the other Wesley. I know it was just quick kiss and really wasn't like they were doing a whole too-much-over-the-top-standing-in-front-of-your-locker-and-blocking-the-way-to-your-books PDA thing, but still.

She kissed him, and that definitely wasn't the sort of kiss you give to someone just because you're happy they ain't gonna die. There was so more to it than that.

Oh, lord, if this means they were doing what I think they might have been doing when we happened upon them earlier...

"I believe we should all go, don't you, love? There are important things that need to be discussed."

What? Shaking myself out of the stupor I've fallen into, I look over at Wesley as he's obviously answering some kind of question. Oh, right - Faith did say something about going to get breakfast, didn't she?

"Yeah," I answer, nodding my head. "Definitely important things to discuss."

Like why Faith is kissing my boy--er, the newly created twin of my boyfriend when she's just arrived in town.
