Literally moments after Sunnydale had exploded, we got a phone call from Angel, Buffy's old lover. We were offered a place at the new offices in LA, some law firm called Wolfram & Hart. I was excited because Willow and I got to run the new Magicks Department... but part of me was torn, wondering if Willow could control herself. I hoped she could. She looked so focused and determined while we were driving to L.A. I wondered what she was thinking.
We were lucky that Giles flew in with information from the seers in England about what was going to happen in Sunnydale. I can't help but wonder if it was better that Sunnydale exploded rather than having to go through a big apocolyptic mess. I hadn't really been through any, well I suppose the one with Glory counts, but I wasn't entirely myself. I'm sure it was a lot less stressful on Buffy this way. Then again, there was supposed to be another upcoming apocolypse thing, one so big that Giles decided to get all the potential slayers transported to L.A. There's going to be a great training facility for them and Buffy and Faith will be amazing leaders, hopefully Faith has... calmed down since the last time I met her.
I folded my hands in my lap and gazed out the window, it was dark, but I could still see the headlights of Giles' and Xander's car behind us. I wondered how long until we reached Wolfram & Hart. Angel told Buffy that he had apartments set up for all of us, which was nice of him to do. Apparently he's some 'big-wig' now, which is disconcerting to think of, considering that last time I saw him he was sort of a lonely broody soul vampire type. He might very well be that way.
I leaned back against my seat and watched Willow as she concentrated on driving. She tucked a piece of her short red hair behind her ear and bit her lower lip a little, like she did when she was anxious about something.
"Willow," I said softly, "What do you think is going to happen? A-are you going to be able to control yourself, you know, with the magicks?"
