I heard a story from a man in red.
Who: rudolphofvamps and under_thehood
When: after Peter comes home
Where: on the STREETS
Summary: Spike smells bleach and Jason when Peter scraggles back in, and in a rare show of deduction puts two and two together.
Warnings: vio...lence
[Spike may not look like much, but years ago - and really it seemed so much longer now - he had been the scourge of Europe. Or one of. He knew how to sneak up on someone undetected, and he wasn't letting this opportunity slip away. He waited patiently for what he knew would come, the hunt hot in his veins. Though his blood didn't pump, it felt as though it were, all the rest of the world melting away.
It was stupid and in a way, he knew it. Getting revenge for Jay's didn't erase it; didn't change anything. But Jason didn't have to live in that apartment, didn't have to watch the way Peter watched himself in the mirror. Didn't have to remember the same guilt echoed deep in his own soul. It was too much for him to bear, and if Jason thought Peter should answer for Carrie's death, then Spike would make Jason answer in turn.
One hand firmly wrapped around the boy's neck from behind, the other tugged him back into the shadows, away from the street and monsters and distractions.] Don't move.
