A World On Fire.
The pavement came rushing towards me as if it were moving and I were stagnant in the air. I braced for the impact but regardless of how much you try to prepare for something so momentous with such extreme velocity; it's never going to be enough

Not that I needed to feel any worse right now, but thinking of her made me think of her right now with my son doing who knew only what? They might not even be safe and there was residual guilt for being mad at them, but something told me that they were okay. Connor was more capable then his size made him appear and I knew that first hand considering that he tried to bury me under the ocean forever.
I couldn't hide the scowl on my face, and I could only think of Connor and Cordy more as Fred bandaged my neck and as Wesley brought me blood, which I accepted into shaking hands.
I am certainly weak and immediately tipped the blood back, not worrying about Fred watching me drink, considering that we're family now and I knew that she didn't mind.
Wesley went into my office, no doubt to research, but maybe he wasn't researching so much as he was trying to get away from us? Not that I needed to be worrying about anything right now but making sure that Cordy and Connor were okay and then dealing with the Beast, but I wondered if he liked being around us. I am pretty certain that he's only here because of the dire nature of things right now and that he didn't like it.
I had apologized to him twice for threatening to kill him when he was in the hospital. I truly regret that and in hindsight, know that he only did what he did to protect Connor from Holtz and even from me...though he should have trusted me enough to come to me before making any decisions.
He hadn't gotten along with Gunn before he left and never had a chance to make amends with him before...before Gunn was taken from us.
I tried to clear my head as I continued to sip, if not gulp the blood that Wesley had brought to me. I looked up as Fred slapped ice on my cheek, which was slightly cut in my fall.
She followed my eyes into the office at Wesley and I got the impression that we needed to get things right at home before dealing with the Beast again, though I knew that was a daunting task to say the least. Cordy and Connor weren't seeing eye to eye with me and then there was Wesley...
"I think Wesley's not exactly enamored with being around us right now, Fred. What do you think?"
