A Difference of Opinion: New Guy
by littlewiccan
Buffy groaned at the sound of the alarm clock ringing, signaling it was time to get up and get ready for work. She turned it off and rolled over to come face to face with her husband, Riley Finn, who had just woken up as well. They had been married for 3 blissful years. Buffy smiled at the thought.
“What’s making you so happy?” Riley teased.
“Nothing,” Buffy said as they both got out of bed and began to make it. They then proceeded to enter the bathroom where they brushed their teeth at identical his and hers sinks.
When they were finished Riley went down to the in home gym to get a morning work out and Buffy took a shower and after breakfast he took a shower. Buffy sighed, the schedule never changed, everything was always the same and that was just the way Riley liked it.
When the couple had finished getting ready for work they got into their car and Riley proceed to drive them out of their quite suburban neighborhood and to work.

Buffy and Riley walked into the ‘office’ and to a door in the back hidden from prying eyes, marked Authorized Personal Only. They opened the door and walked down a dimly lit hallway.
“Name?” the computerized security system asked, when they reached the door at the end of the hall and punched the code in.
“Buffy Summers,” Buffy replied, despite her marriage and Riley’s request that she take his name instead she had kept her maiden name.
“Riley Finn,” Riley said.
“Voice recognition complete, please stand by for retinal eye scan,” the computer replied. Buffy and Riley stood still as a light passed over their eyes, making sure they really were who they claimed to be, “Retinal scan complete.”
The door slide in and Buffy and Riley entered the place where they had been working as Secret ops agents for the past 5 years. They entered the Initiative, which was a top secret government program that researched demons and other supernatural creatures and occurrences.
“Agent Finn, Agent Summers, please come this way,” their boss, Maggie Walsh said, “There’s someone I’d like you to meet,” the pair followed Walsh into her office, “This is Agent William Madden,” she indicated the bleach blonde sitting in her office, “He’s the new member of your team. I trust you’ll make him welcome.”
************************
“The name’s Spike,” William told them as they left Walsh’s office.
“What kind of name’s Spike?” Buffy asked.
“Mine.”
“So you’re an under cover agent?” Riley said, in a mocking tone of disbelief as they entered their group’s headquarters.
“Yeah, what of it mate?”
“Nothing, I’m just surprised you could do anything under cover with that hair.”
“We’ll see about that Captain Cardboard,” Spike replied as he sat down at the conference table and Buffy couldn’t help but laugh a little.
Riley glared at her in response but Spike smiled at the other blonde.
“What are you laughing at?” Riley hissed.
“Nothing,” she said.
“What’s wrong Captain Cardboard can’t handle a little bit of friendly competition?” Spike said with a smirk.
“For your information there is no competition. Buffy’s my wife,” Riley stated matter of factly.
Spike just cocked his head and nodded in response.
“Are we going to have to separate you 2?” a brunette woman with black glasses asked as she sat down at the table and opened her lab top, “Who’s the new kid on the block?”
“This is Spike,” Buffy said, introducing the 2, “Spike, this is Lisa Lane.”
“Charmed I’m sure?” she replied.
“She’s our computer wiz. She can hack into anything,” Buffy clarified.
Lisa smiled, “Well it helps to have Zach, speaking of,” she said as a young man with shaggy brown hair entered the room and sat down. Spike couldn’t help but notice that his face was slightly black with soot, “What happened to you?”
“The prototype I was working on exploded again,” He replied.
“Maybe you should just give up,” Lisa said.
“Give up? Did Edison give up when his light bulb didn’t work?......Well he didn’t.”
“At least he didn’t burn his eyebrows off this time,” Lisa whispered to Spike.
“Hey, that was one time!” Zach yelled at her.
“Zach designs and creates most of the gadgets our team uses,” Buffy continued with the introductions.
“And what’s Captain Cardboard’s job besides being a pounce?”
“Watch bleach boy,” Riley threatened.
“Riley’s second in command. He does the planning of the missions.”
“And you?”
“Field operative, like yourself.”
“So then is gang all here?” Spike asked.
“Everyone except Pryce,” Zach replied.
“Pryce?”
“Gregory Pryce, head of this team,” Lisa replied as an older man walked in.
“Who are you?” Pryce asked Spike.
“Agent Madden.”
“What are you doing here?”
“Didn’t you get the memo?” Zach asked.
“Do you think I check my memos?” he asked but Zach just looked at him dumbly, “I thought you were supposed to be a genius.”
“He’s the new field agent,” Buffy replied.
“Good, now you’ll have a partner in crime,” he replied as he passed out folders with their newest cases information in them, “Okay now if you don’t mind I’d like to catch the bad guy or demon in this case.”
