The wasting of the human's lives was pointless so I altered time and gave them a second chance. If they chose to lose die a second time, that would be their choice. I however chose for Wesley. After time changed and the others fled, I caused a ripple, grabbed Wesley and left with him to go and find the slayer

Calling Illyria all of the names I'd ever heard had been futile. She had not responded, just dragged me through time as if I were a rag doll. Stopping the vehicle in front of a building as she had raised a hand I hissed at her. "Here?" She'd been ordering me through the streets of Los Angeles as if she were Patton marching across Europe. Apparetnly god-kings didn't take the 405.

What was the council up to anyway?

[goddess_illyria]

I gave Wesley a quick nod and opened the door. I could feel the slayer within the building. I could feel her pain and her fear like a knife in my belly and I ached to tear it out. I looked at Wesley and said, "Stay behind me." He would be almost pointless in there, yet, other than the slayer, no other human would be helpful in a battle.

I walked through the front doors and was immediately greeted by two humans acting as a pathetic guard to the building. I swatted them away like buzzing flies and began moving in the direction of the slayer.

Rolled my eyes as Illyria strode down a hallway. Damn stupid of her to not check the doors as she passed. A council operative jumped out from behind her and I fired the shotgun into his midsection, putting him down for good.

Catching up to her I moved ahead. What were they doing to Faith? Perhaps I could ask Illyria, however that would involve attempting to be social with her which I was in no mood for.

Stopping in the middle of a long corridor, I turned my head and listened for the slayer. She was in a room, trapped. I could sense her to my left and as I turned I was facing three armed humans. I sneered at them as I strode into their bullets. I side stepped their futile attempts to wound me and grabbed the first by the throat.

Picking him up off the ground I tossed him through the wall next to me and into another room. I kicked the second in the face, sending him flying down the hall and landing with a satisfying thud. The third managed to land a blow, which earned him a glare and a smirk. I picked him up by his head and slammed his face into the ground. The crunch of his bones earned him another smirk and I left him bleeding on the ground and headed toward Faith.

I had been sitting in bed for hours, trying not to fume. They had pumped me so full of fucking drugs that I could barely find the energy to fume. God dammit, I wanted a cigarette wicked bad and it didn't matter how much I begged the doctors or Robin they wouldn't give me one.

I jumped a little when I heard the door come crashing down, Illyria standing behind it. Almost smirked, happy to see her who woulda figured. Then I saw who was standing behind her, Wesley holding a shotgun. Did he come here to shoot me again? Probably not, and even if he did I doubted the smurf would let him. Nothing like havin' a big blue bodyguard.

"Illyria, glad you could show." I said, pushing myself up off the bed and walking towards them.

[goddess_illyria]

I looked the slayer over. She seemed unharmed, but looks could be deceiving. "They are coming. Go." I walked into the hallway and stared at the seven men charging in my direction. Foolish mortals, do they not ever learn?

Kicking the one closest to me sent him flying back into the others, knocking most of them down. I walked into the rest of them and began swinging and punching, connecting my feet and fists with humans left and right. I felt bones crunch and blood flow as I worked my way through them. I was angry and this was how I showed....emotions.

[wickedslayer]

They had really come to rescue me? Wow, wasn't expecting that. Well maybe from Illyria, but definitely not from Wesley.

Walking slowly towards the door, Illyria walked back out into the hallway and started tearing apart people left and right. Wesley was shooting someone else, all of it was just making my head spin. Who the hell even knew what they were pumping into me anymore.

I approached Wesley just as I heard the click of a gun being cocked. Turning around I saw Robin pointing a gun at me and Wes. Thought by now he'd have headed for the hills for sure.

[wickedslayer]

I clenched my jaw as I watched Wesley stand over Robin, pointing the gun at him. Felt like I should stop him for all of a second, but then I Just decided to stand there. Fucker was gonna chase me forever, and this was the only way to end it.

I flinched when Wes pulled the trigger, and looked away where Illyria was clearing out all the guards.

Walking towards Wes, I tugged his arm. "Let's get out of here."

[goddess_illyria]

Sending the last pitiful excuse for a guard out a window, I turned and stared at the scene before me. Wesley had just taken a life and Faith looked like she wouldn't last much longer. I walked over to them and stared, "I have inflicted enough damage. We should...leave."

I walked past them, then stopped and stared at the bloody remains of the man on the floor. I looked at Wesley and then began walking again. He was a constant surprise.

[exiledwatcher]

Pulling away from Faith I made sure another round was loaded as I headed for a door marked exit. How had I gone from shooting Faith to rescuing her from Council custody?

It didn't matter. Illyria had done the work. The two of them could fend for themselves just fine without me. Cordelia had been right, I needed to stop dwelling and move on.

[wickedslayer]

I shot one last glance at Robin, or what was left of him before following Wes out the door marked exit at the end of the hallway. God, I almost wanted to kiss the pavement when we got outside again.

Turning my head I saw Illyria follow the two of us out, after blasting her way through another guard. She really was full of surprises. Cool chick, once you got past the whole 'kill, kill, kill' thing.

I followed Wesley in silence to his jeep, and opened the passenger seat door, hopping in. Resting against the seat, I stared out the windshield feeling wicked dizzy.

"Thanks." I muttered to Wesley, avoiding his eyes.

[goddess_illyria]

We left the building and I turned to stare at them. "You both reek of regret and anger. Despair drips off you both like the brains of that dead human. It is sickening me." I glared at the slayer, "I have saved your life. This is something I do for no one and something I see as a favor you will owe me."

I glared at them both, waved my hand and left them in the wake of my time manipulation.

[exiledwatcher]

"No its just the brains actually." Of course it had already gone, how typical. Regarding Faith coldly I ignored her thanks. Shouldn't we be going seperate ways about now? Or was she that drugged up from her captivity.

Returning to the hotel this evening was not a pleasant thought, considering I had already DIED there one time this evening. Twice would be a bit much.

[prodigal_slayer]

Had no idea what else to say to him, he totally ignored my thank you. Fuck, this was so like him, I should just get used to it by now.

Turning my eyes towards the windshied again, I almost wished for a second that Illyria was here, at least she was a distraction. But then again, she usually just put Wes in a worse mood than he already was in.

"We should probably...go." I said after a minute when he still hadn't started the car. We were way too close to watcher central for my comfort. Why were we just sittin' here? I looked back over at him, waiting for any kind of reaction.
