[JMM]#20: Train trip
Train trip
Note: Takes place in the AU Spooksverse
Buffy didn't drive. It was a fact of life. She had been going for the world record of how many times you can fail the test before getting your license but she hadn't made it into the record books. Driving in another country where they drove on the 'wrong' side of the road, so not happening. All of which explained why Buffy Summers was now sitting on a train heading into London rather than driving. She would have asked Willow to teleport her there like she usually did except they were being watched by the Scottish Police and MI-5. So not the time for her best friend to do her witch-fu.
So Buffy was being low-key girl and hopefully boring the government guy that was most likely following her to death. She idly flipped through the fashion magazine on her lap but she wasn't really looking at it. Instead, her mind was going over everything that Xander had come up with. The missile had most definitely come from the Twilight Cult and it had specifically come from Warren and Amy.
She sighed and leaned her head back against the headrest. It wasn't anything that she could admit to either. How can you tell people that not only was it a missile but it was a magical one done by someone that your best friend had skinned alive but yet he wasn't dead? Yeah, that would go over well with the authorities. Willow would be locked up forever.
How was she supposed to fight people that used weapons like that? She could deal with vampires and demons but she didn't know the first thing about fighting missiles. How could she protect the girls? Willow could get up wards but would it be enough? So many things were piling up on her shoulders and she wasn't sure that she was strong enough to fix it.
Buffy knew that she wasn't alone. She had Willow and Xander but it wasn't the same as having Giles. They were all learning together. Her eyes drifted closed and she let the steady movement of the train car soothe her. Buffy forced her mind away from Giles and Faith, away from Amy, Warren and the Twilight Cult, and finally she forced it away from the added complication of the police and government getting involved in her life. She tried to focus on the positive. Dawnie was no longer a centaur, that was a big yay. See? She was so silver lining girl. Plus, she was on her way to London where shopping could be had. Sure it would have to occur after the bank meeting but still---shopping. Always of the good.
