Gunn looks at Buffy, shocked,"You can't do that!"
"Why not?" Willow asks him.
Spike nods in understanding the remark,"You said it yourself, Red. 'the world is put in peril then so is she' or... something like that. If we killed her, we'd end the world. which would be a bad thing."
Buffy's head is killing her, ok, deep breaths, "For all we know she could be ending it now!" Even though she'd meant to stay calm, she'd yelled it at them.'There goes all that meditation.' she thinks to herself.
Gunn once again tries to explain it to her,"But that'd be suicide."
Buffy's relieved, the world wouldn't end if she just....."That may be the idea" Xander tells them. Buffy sat there, watching the hope she had fall away.
Now it was Gunn's turn to be left in the dark. "What do you mean?"
Buffy stares at nothing, "Why would the one thing that created humanity hurt it unless she has a deathwish? Everyone has a deathwish."
Spike grins. Buffy had to remember that came from him. when he had been talking to her about the other slayers he'd killed.
Willow continues her rant on the info she'd found,"Giles has some theories on it. He said he'd found some more files leftover from the Council."
"I did some interdimensional net-surfing, for more books and stuff." Xander offers.
Willow frowns, looking at her notes,"We found one newer piece of information. She's the strongest of any god from any dimension."
'Breathe, Buffy, Breathe' She doesn't like to think that someone could be stronger than Glory. She picks up the book Willow had left on the table and gasps, dropping the book.
Willow rushs over to her best-friend,"Buffy?What is it?"
Buffy gestures at the book, trying to breathe."Buffy? She's not breathing! Xander!" Willow looks at him frantically, but he's already got it ready. Willow holds Buffy still while Xander stabs the serynge into her neck. Buffy can breathe again, and soon she stands up and goes over to the book.
"I know her, she's coming."Buffy tells them with a certainty.
Angel steps closer to her,"Who, Buffy?"
Buffy cocks her head at him and Spike. An unusual pose for the Slayer, she never cocked her head. When she speaks it's cold and distant, filled with venom.
"Your wife."
~~~~~~
Buffy remembers not being able to breathe, she remembers the serynge. But now here she is, laying on the couch.
"You know who this is?" Willow asks her bluntly
Buffy looks at the picture,"Yes, I had a dream about her."
'We could do a tracer."
"The Mlovennachee is probobly our best bet"
"Mloven Nachte? You mean him?" Gunn intervenes.
"A spell that was named for him."
"Willow! It's like a trance that guides you through your dreams."
"How do you know who he is?" Willow asks curiously. Gunn shrugs,"He owes me money."
Illyria comes in, with the Chinese. Willow goes to hug her, thinking it's Fred."Fred! You're blue, why are you blue? Why is she blue?"
Angel rolls his eyes,"Oh you know, possessed by an old one."
"I do not possess as a demon would"
"Right, you infect."
"I control. Kill out the unworthy"
"So did we, once upon a time, pet." Spike reminds her,"Don't see us getting perks for it, now do you?"
Illyria sneers at her 'pet',"Do not speak to me as if I'm below your station, halfbreed!"
"Hi!" Buffy bounces right up to Illyria, hoping to slap the smart ass out of her. "Illyria, pleased to meet you. Big fan of your work." The entire time she was speaking her voice was dripping in sarcasm.
Illyria sniffs the new girl,"Who is this?"
Buffy looks up at her, giving her best I'm-the-most-innocent-little-girl-in-the-world face,"Who? Me?I'm nobody. Really, not important at all."
Illyria smells the girl again. 'Iswear, if she doesn't stop that then I'll personally tear off her fucking head. Bitch' Buffy's thinking helped to calm her down, helping her achieve the look of 'cool'."She reeks of the halfbreeds."
Now that threw her off, just a little bit. "Thanks, I guess"
"Three of them. Why do they not kill you?"
"Oh, geeze, a small little girl like me?"
"They fear you."
"Now why would they do that? I had no idea! Maybe it has to do with that whole Slayer thing, you know that really tends to turn some people off." as Illyria backs away, Buffy grins,"Of course, depending on the person, that's not really a bad thing."
Illyria nods and sits. She accepts the Slayer, she does the job she was created for. Like her own self does.
Angel goes on as if the interruption had never even happened. 'I hate it when he does that!' Buffy wants to scream. "If the Slayer line dies out then..."
"We're all damned to repeat Doomsday til the sodden end of the bloody world." Spike growled.'Now why can't Angel be more like him? Why can't they be, like, one person?' Buffy's thoughts are starting to catch-up with her. Spike and Angel get into an argument. Buffy's not really sure what about. But it was getting on her nerves.
Her eyes start to glow red as the fight gets louder and louder. Finally she just snaps,"STOP IT!" Angel goes flying to one end of the room, and Spike to the other.
