challenge:#104: so long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, adieu
disclaimer:I only own the words, not the characters.
notes: Set some time after season seven of BtVS. Pretend Jack wouldn't insist on going with them.
summary: Jack is sometimes a little childish.
Gwen hunched her shoulders, readjusting the gear on her back. She glared at Jack, who was looking positively gleeful.
"Don't say it," she warned.
Faith bumped her shoulder and grinned. "Come on, girlie. We're attacking a castle. Let him say it."
"He can just say 'goodbye, good luck, don't get killed.' This is ridiculous."
"Of course it is. It's us. When'd you get so serious? Oh, wait. Working with Kennedy. Got it." Faith rolled her eyes. "Loosen up, girlie, or you'll go crazy here."
Gwen sighed. "Fine."
Jack's answering grin was huge. "Bye! Don't die! Have fun storming the castle!"

challenge:#104: so long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, adieu
disclaimer: I only own the words, not the characters.
notes: I just read the second book in the Triskellion series, and couldn't help but wonder what might've happened if the Scoobies had gotten involved.
summary: Rachel and Adam meet a different kind of secret organization.
"Hello new life, goodbye old life." It sounded forced, but it was all Rachel could manage. She was grateful for the help; she was. Over the last three days Dawn and her group had been very kind to the four fugitives.
She felt safe, a strange feeling, now. She and Adam, and the other twins, Morag and Duncan, weren't being drugged or tested. Didn't need to use their abilities for food or to escape capture.
Was it too good to be true?
Rachel leaned into Dawn's side. Both sets of twins were especially comfortable around their new college-aged friend. She seemed immune to their persuasive powers, and none of them wanted to influence her anyway. There was something about Dawn. She felt a little like Gabriel, Rachel thought.
"It's okay to doubt," Dawn said. "You learned the hard way not to trust. We get it. Not everyone here is human. We're okay with that. No experimenting. I promise."
Adam came running up. "They have an armory! Swords! And Xander said we could learn how to use them!" He tugged on his twin. "Come on, Rachel, come look!"
When she said it this time, she almost meant it. "Goodbye old life!"
