challenge #95
Can we get a Dark-Hunter tag, please? Thanks.
title: Height Requirement
word count: 200
fandom: BtVS/Dark-Hunter
challenge: #95 - swifter, higher, stronger
disclaimer: Joss Whedon owns Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sherrilyn Kenyon owns the Dark-Hunter series. I make no claims on either of them.
notes: Buffy-wise this is post “Chosen.” In the Dark-Hunter time line, this is sometime before the start of the series, not long after Nick has become a squire. I'm pretending the time lines line up that way.
summary: Nick thinks she’s a little short for the position.
Nick heard the distinctive sounds of a fight coming from the alley ahead, and picked up his pace in case someone needed help. None of the Dark-Hunters stationed in New Orleans would need him, but if it were someone else, they might.
He rounded the corner and was unsurprised to see three Daimons fighting…a petite little blonde that wouldn’t even make his shoulder. The tiny woman was handing them their collective asses, too. She clearly had a handle on them, so he held back and watched in admiration.
Given how quickly she moved, how high she kicked, and how strong she punched, she had to be a Dark-Hunter; no one else moved with such power and grace. She certainly fought with their gusto and skill. Her height was a surprise, though. Artemis just didn’t do short. Every Dark-Hunter he’d met in the few years since he’d become a squire had been his height of 6’4” or taller.
“She’s not a Dark-Hunter.” Acheron’s voice materialized right next to his ear, and Nick came up off the pavement a few inches in surprise. Friend or not, Nick hated it when the Dark-Hunter leader did that.
“I thought she was a little short.”
