Recovery.

The dragon in the alley had sent me flying at like a hundred miles per hour into my own hotel and I had crashed through it, my powerful arms going out to protect my head from the impact, not enough to knock my marbles around, knock me unconscious and make me incoherent ( Read more... )

Was surreal, all of this. The howling had stopped outside, and for the most part, also from the holes in my head created by that demon swinging the mase at it from behind, but it was still something that I never sodding omagined seeing ( ... )

"No, beefcake. Far as I know, Giles didn't send them, the demons are running away, probably killing everything in bloody sight and no...Gunn and...and Illyria have bought the farm, but they went out both like heroes, fighting with everything that they had...""No, Giles didn't send us. Or me, anyway. My information came from Andrew, and from what I heard, ol' Giles made it pretty clear that he didn't want us slayers down here. Especially not me an' B...becuase of this ( ... )

"No, Giles didn't send us. Or me, anyway. My information came from Andrew, and from what I heard, ol' Giles made it pretty clear that he didn't want us slayers down here. Especially not me an' B...becuase of this."

I was focusing on Angel, but listening to everything that was being said. Especially what Faith had said stuck out in my mind. I hoped that she didn't blame Giles for his decision, even though both of us would have wanted the information. It wasn't us that caused this fight, and for all Giles knew, or seemed to know, it could have been a fight for evil, not against it ( ... )

I tried to get up, but everything was out of control. I had never been hurt this bad before. Sure, my lover currently holding me had sent me to a hell dimension, killing me, but it didn't hurt. It only hurt for a minute and then the real pain began, but in the hell dimension, it wasn't like this. I knew that I was suffering, but the physical anguish was only as bad as I let myself be beaten down by the other demons, and it wasn't anything like this. My mind was working now, foggy, but working, but my body, even with Faith's blood in my system, couldn't catch up.

I knew that there was so much that had to be done, but I could barely move. I had been impaled by a rebar, had been sent to the ocean without blood for three months by my son, had been tossed out a window and fallen twenty stories to the hard pavement, and had been poisoned by Faith, with a dart that could have killed me, but never before had my entire body felt so defeated. The posion weakened me, as did the bottom of the ocean, and death could have come, but here, I was ( ... )

"Giles didn't tell me that there was something going on until I told him I was coming to LA. It was a day ago, and it didn't sound like he was going to send in anybody else."I looked at Buffy, and shook my head. Wasn't remotely her fault, but it bloody figured that Giles was on his high horse with all of the power of the Council and an army of slaya's working for and with him. Sod tried to have me killed, and hadn't properly thanked him for that, especially since it was me that had closed the hellmouth and saved a hell of a lot more of his slaya's from dying ( ... )

I didn't like where this was goin'. I was a part of this thing, fight between what is ocnsidered good, and what is considered evil whether I wanted to be or not. I had been fightin' this fight for my entire life, even before I was a slayer. It was just that when I was in fact a slayer, it mattered more.

It was not my decision whether Giles and B' were to help Angel and his crew a little while ago. I might have gone, and I might not have. the way that I saw it was, well, if I was faced with that decision, I would have made it right then and there. I wasn't. I was pretty left out of the whole thing. I wasn't goin to walk into a trap and say that either side was right though.

"That tracks. Giles still considers me Angelus, even though I have been him since Sunnydale, I never thanked enough you, Faith, for helping me out of that, and I guess...well..I should thank you for giving me your blood..."I gave him a nod and a lil half cocky smile. Damn right Angel should thank me. If it had been any other I'd rather be stuck in a room ( ... )

I could here in Angel's voice that he wasn't happy with Giles. I didn't have anything to say about that either. Who was I to tell Angel what to feel, or what to think? It seemed to me that this was a game of unspoken words, and I was the one that wasn't speaking them. I didn't want to talk about Giles, and what he did and what he didn't tell me. I didn't want to talk about what I believed in, or if I thought that Angel and Spike were doing the right thing. I hadn't seen either of them in a long time, and it seemed only typical that I'd be faced with a fight of views and leadership.

"I don't think that I can rest, Buffy, even though I need it. Those demons out there are my responsibility, and how else can I prove to Giles, and even the two of you that the only reason we took over Wolfram and Hart was to keep our enemies closer?"I stared at Angel. I wasn't angry, or at least, I didn't think I was angry. I was frustrated that in the condition he was in, he was actually contemplating going out. Spike and Angel could rest here,and ( ... )

"Gotta side with Angel on this one, Buffy, Faith. We have to stop those demons, even if Angel can't fight right now. Too many innocent people are gonna be killed if we what? Rest for the rest of the night? Faith and I can go after the demons and get as many as we can, if you want to stay here with Angel, Buffy. Way I see it, is somebody's got to go after them and it will be easier attacking them from behind then it was with all of them coming at the four of us, earlier."

I tried to get up. I wasn't about to let Spike go out and steal thunder in the eyes of Buffy, or Faith for that matter, at my expense. Even though I had barely any control over my body, I tried to get up, but Buffy wouldn't let me. I had to get school yard about this, but I was no match for Buffy's strength at the moment.

"I think that plan is good enough. I'll be damned if I'm gonna be stuck in here while there are demons to be killed. I'm long over due."I started to wonder if Faith and Spike would go out there and that Buffy might be staying here with me. That, in ( ... )
