Giles hadn’t wanted to do it, but he saw no other choice. When the Council revoked his papers, and after he’d received a lovely letter from the INS, he was desperate to find a way to stay in the States. It didn’t matter if Buffy had became distance and acted like she didn’t need him anymore. He had a feeling she would need him eventually.
He first turned to his Council contacts but all of them shied away from helping him. They used every excuse they could muster, and Giles knew it was because Travers had threatened them. He tried a local lawyer but the man could barely tie his own shoes. Giles was at the end of his options when someone suggested he use Wolfram and Hart.
The mere thought amused him at first, yet, time wasn’t on his side and he finally realized they may be his only hope.
It went against everything he’d learned at the Council. He knew the firm were their enemies but desperate times called for desperate measures. He was sure he would pay for it the rest of his life, yet, he still made an appointment and drove to Los Angeles.
Giles was expecting a junior associate to help him so he was rather surprised when they sent him to the special projects floor of the firm. And when he walked into the room, and saw the woman there was practically salivating, he knew why he’d been sent there. Of course. He was a Watcher and the firm wanted to get their claws into him.
He could’ve left but he was compelled to stay. He was doing this so he could stay.
The process only took a few days and he was legal again. Giles wanted for the ball to fall; for Lilah and her firm to tell him they wanted something in return. Yet, it didn’t come. It was almost too good to be true.
And it was.
Weeks after defeating Adam, Giles found himself cataloging his texts and research materials. After everything he’d went through in order to stay, he had decided to leave. While packing and organizing, Lilah showed up at his door and he knew the game had begun.
They shared barbs and rude comments at first. Giles didn’t want to like it, yet he did. Lilah, with her sly smile and designer suits, made Giles feel things he knew he shouldn’t. But, it’d been so long since he’d felt this alive, even if the feeling came from making derogatory comments to a woman. Yet, Lilah wasn’t any woman - she could take it just as well as dish it out. And, it drove Giles mad.
Soon, he had abandoned his cataloging and found himself going to Los Angeles on a regular basis. At first, Lilah tried to bring him to Wolfram and Hart, promising him the world. Giles didn’t want the world and soon she became bored. Their game didn’t stop, though. Instead, they found other games to play.
When Giles finally bedded her, he knew there was no turning back. With each touch, and whispered word, he began to lose pieces of himself. The side of him he’d long pushed down, had started to come out. Day-by-day, the Rupert Giles part of him faded away, while the darker side of him came to life.
With the charge of magic in the air, and a naked Lilah beside him, Giles received the call about Buffy’s death. Instead of running off to help the Scoobies, he smirked and hung up the phone. His transformation was complete and Rupert Giles was now dead. And, he had Lilah to thank for it.
