{confrontation} // the moment to live and the moment to die

[slayerisms]

[ After guaranteeing that Nico, Dean, Sam, Jo and Riley were on their way, Buffy made her way down to the NJO Headquarters where she'd appointed their meet-up.

Impatience was the word of the day, because she knew damn well that they were on the clock with this one. Deadpool and Drusilla wouldn't hang around for long, even if Willow had GPS tracked the datapad they'd used to make their transmission. ]

[ ooc; Group gathers -> Confronts Dru/'pool -> Xavier & Magneto intervene & mental-freeze the group to let Dru and 'pool get away -> Xavier loses hold of Buffy who chases Dru but still loses her because Magneto holds her up, meanwhile group deals with Xavier. I believe this is the plan? Correct me if I'm wrong, someone? ]

[norepeatspells]

[Here is Nico with staff in hands. And also bleeding a little, but that's no big deal.] I miss the days when there were hopefully rabies-free dogs that could bite you and not take your hand off. [She examines her hand.] Thank God, there are always snooty old ladies with yappy things.

[incaution]

[And here is Jo, with her wire and her sawed off, pointy chair leg. And also knives and guns, but you can't see those. She offers a nod to the other two girls that have already gathered.]

How many people are gonna show up for this? [That is Jo's nice way of questioning why Buffy invited some kid she's never met before along on a killing mission.

And what is that kid holding, anyway? She points at it with her chair leg.]

Nice...whatever that is, by the way.

[like_dillinger]

[Dean's over here, checking on all his weapons or something equally manly. But that makes him look up and give Nico a skeptical look] You brought a stick? Did you misread the stake memo? Bludgeoning weapons aren't gonna get you very far, kiddo.

[imnot_likeyou]

[glances over at that looking at it curiously for a moment, before shaking his head.]

I'm pretty sure it's more than just a stick. And Deadpool is going to take more than a stake, I have a feeling -- he's not a vampire.

[a beat as he glances to Buffy]

Is he?

[norepeatspells]

[Nico just stares at the two of them like she can burn holes into them with the power of GOTH. Instead, she slams the staff into the ground and utters a single spell.] Clap on.

[There's one brief flash of light from the orb and then it quiets, nothing so extravagant it wouldn't look like a flashlight burst, but enough to attract the attention of any stragglers who wanted to find where they were meeting. Satisfied, Nico turns back to Dean.]

It also bludgeons.

[slayerdom]

No, he's not. [ She ignores the taunting by dismissing it with a sigh, letting Nico do her light show. ] He's a mutant. [ She looks at Nico. ] And Nico here, in addition to being a powerful witch, is our resident expert.

[ She glances over at Jo. ] Riley's on his way, and then we'll have everyone. We don't know exactly what Deadpool's capable of, but Drusilla's got Slayer's blood on her hands, and I'm not going in without knowing we can take her.

[incaution]

[Jo's apparently standing next to Sam and Dean now, because she glances up at them, and mouths the words Powerful Witch and gives them a concerned look. WHY DOES BUFFY ASSOCIATE WITH THINGS LIKE WITCHES AND VAMPIRES??? She can never bring Buffy home to meet her mother, it would be worse than Ellen finding out about her and Dean. At least he's Republican.]

I'm pretty sure we've got them both covered, between all of us. Your friend can focus on leading the attack on the mutant, and you can cover the vampire.

[yep, she's got a talent for stripping away anything's identity and just leaving them with offensive names.]

If you say the kid's useful, then she's useful. But we've only got one chance to have the advantage and we can't waste it standing around here.

[Because that gives Dean time to be more offensive and cause arguments, and they really can't afford for that to happen.]

[like_dillinger]

[Nico's witchy display along with Jo's whisper just makes Dean put his constipated face on. Why the hell are they working with witches? He really hates this place.]

We can't assume that Deadpool's only got one power goin' for him, either. We at least know what this Drusilla chick can do, which means we can hopefully take him down first.

[A glance at Buffy] You think Bridezilla might have info on this other vamp you're lookin' for?

[imnot_likeyou]

[just takes a breath and ignores that little exchange as best he can]

Other vamp?

[he feels so out of the loop -- and there's too much going on.]

[slayerisms]

No one. [ It's said quickly to dismiss Sam's question and she gives Dean a look that says hey how about you shut the fuck up. Right. She still needed to fill him in that Darla was not-so-fangy. Oh, hell. ]

I've talked to Deadpool a few times. All signs pointing to them being the dynamic duo of craziness. [ She looks over to Nico. ] And according to Nico, he's invulnerable. Drusilla's not.

[norepeatspells]

That doesn't mean he can't be incapacitated. The guy choked on a spork. [Granted, that was during the power loss, but...] Just don't underestimate him. From what I hear, he's legitimate on his own and not because of anything flashy. [She taps the orb of her staff.] But if it looks bad, we can count on the Staff of One to keep him at bay. No one's invulnerable to magic.

[incaution]

Other vamp? [It's at this point she realizes that Dean and Buffy have been in better contact than herself and Buffy, and she feels like a shitty person. The guilt shows on her face and she looks away from the group, taking a moment to pull out a blaster and act as if she's giving it a final check over.]

There's a way to bring everything down. You just gotta keep trying until you find its weakness.

[She glances back at Dean, her face now a mask of cool indifference.]

Let's get moving, yeah?

[likedillinger]

[Dean nods at her, catching both Buffy's attempt at deflection and Jo's discomfort at being out of the loop. His eyes flash across Jo's and Sam's, making a silent promise that he'll answer their questions later. And hoping Buffy doesn't catch the motion since she's busy trying not to look at anybody. He hefts his weapon]

Fall out.

[imnot_likeyou]

[They really needed a better way to share information. He takes a breath and grabs his gear, getting ready to follow his brother out with the rest of the group.]

[initiative]

[Lmfao way to leave without him, guys. But Riley is going to show up just before this shit gets underway thanks to Nico's little lighthouse beacon or whatever. You guys are so stealth-mode. He will pull up alongside Buffy because she's his beard]

Sorry I'm late.

[How was he supposed to know that his latest vampire hookers session would eat into mission impossible time? He has had to man the store since Anya's been gone and dildos =/= ideal weapons no matter what Anya says. In other words, insert random excuse here.

Whatever, he's there now]
