Angelus and Faith
Angelus watched with amusement as Faith patrolled. She was so cute when she was engaging in heavy banter. Maybe it was a Slayer thing, but whatever it was, Angelus wanted to take Faith into an alley and f*ck her hard.
Faith ducked a punch, then brought her leg up and kicked hard, staking the last vampire.
Angelus appeared from out of the bush, stupid smile plastered on his face, much like the one tha stupid Angel would be wearing.
"Hey Faith."
Faith looked a little suspicious, then smiled.
"Angel."
Logan
Logan stalked out of the shadows, vampire dust gray on his hands.
He eyed Angelus warily, standing close to Faith.
"Isn't NY a little out of your range, bub? Thought you were based down in LA."
Angelus and Faith
Angelus thought quickly. He was so much smarter than Angel.
"Evil rising. Need my Slayer around to help me."
He ruffled Faith's hair playfully.
Faith took a step towards Angelus.
"What did you need help with?"
Logan
A feral snarl rumbled out of Logan's throat when Angelus touched Faith. He shifted his shoulders slightly, moving closer and settling into an easy stance where he could attack Angelus or move Faith out of the way quickly.
There was something not right here.
"Good question there, darlin'. Why do you need help, bub?"
Angelus and Faith
"Told you. Ancient evil rising. Need the help of a Slayer. Happen to really like this one."
Angelus regarded Logan coolly, with an expression that very firmly said "mine, back off".
Faith looked basically convinced, seeing as she didn't realise Angel was Angelus, and she'd never not had a reason to trust Angel. Ok, well in Sunnydale. But these days.
Logan
"I'd miss ya, babe," Logan said softly, touching Faith's cheek with his fingertips.
He leant in and kissed her slowly and deeply, one ear pricked for any movement Angelus might make.
"There's a whole houseful of Slayers here, why not ask one of them?"
Angelus and Faith
Angelus growled slightly.
"Because Faith's the best at what she does. You should know that," Angelus said, looking very unimpressed.
Faith smiled slightly, leaning against Logan.
Logan
"So, take a few of them," Logan said softly but firmly.
"Go ask Spike. He's still here. I'd say go ask the cats, but they're incommunando at the moment. There's a bunch of other people you could ask before Faith."
He leant in slightly and inhaled Angelus's scent, putting Faith behind him with a small nudge.
"Explain to me, bub...why do you stink of fresh human blood and fear?"
Angelus and Faith
Angelus ignored his question.
"Why do you smell like Faith?"
Faith looked confused.
"Guys, enough with this manly testosterone thing... although, it is really hot. Not the point. Anyway, if you need me Angel, yeah, I'm yours."
"Yeah, you are. Mine."
Logan
"The fact we're sharing a bed might have something to do with it," Logan growled.
"And I don't think she's yours, if she ever was. Now, f*ck off, bub, before I get angry."
Angelus and Faith
Angelus slipped into game face and snarled.
Faith took a big step back.
"Angel, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing wrong with me, Faithy."
Faith felt like she was going to be sick.
Logan
Logan moved so he was in front of Faith, his claws sliding out with a metallic sound.
"Get out of here before I kill ya, bub. Killed eleven vamps tonight, might as well make it a round dozen."
Angelus and Faith
Angelus chuckled and whistled slightly, grinning evilly as about half a dozen Turok'han appeared.
"Get him," he said.
They charged at Logan, more appearing slowly.
Faith jumped into the fight, but Angelus grabbed her arm.
"No, no, we're gonna play a different game. Do you remember how to play?"
He started to pull her away.
Logan
Logan snarled as he was attacked, moving with a wild grace as he killed the turok'hans as they tried to kill him.
"Faith, use ya knife!"
He started to work his way towards them.
Angelus and Faith
Angelus punched Faith hard, and she swayed slightly as he lowered his mouth to bite her, enjoying the feel of her warm blood down his throat.
Faith's eyes rolled back in her head as her hands weakly grabbed for her knife.
Logan
Logan killed another of the turok'hans, then reached out to pull Angelus off Faith.
"No one bites her but me, bub," Logan snarled in Angelus's face, then drove his claws into the vampire's gut and slashed out.
Angelus and Faith
Angelus hissed, then punched Logan hard across the face.
Faith's eyes were unfocused as she fell to the ground.
Logan
Logan shook his head for a moment, then smiled wolvishly.
"What, that all ya got? Baby slayers hit harder then you do, bub."
He feinted at Angelus with his claws, then turned to decapite a turok'han. He moved to stand between Faith and Angelus.
Angelus and Faith
Angelus kicked Logan in the back, then called out more Turok'han to take Faith away.
Faith got to her feet and swayed, then started to try and fight, but with the drastic loss of blood, she didn't like her chances.
"Stay Faithy, I will be taking you again."
Logan
"Not happening, bub," Logan hissed.
He was seemingly everywhere at once, claws slicing and slashing turok'han into itty bitty pieces. He kept them off Faith and let her try to recover.
"Faith, we're gonna have to leave this shindig early."
Angelus and Faith
Angelus snarled and ducked Logan's punch, then kicked Faith's legs out from under her.
"Hmm, yeah, I was getting that feeling too," Faith said, flipping to her feet. She roundhouse kicked Angelus down, and he grabbed her foot and pulled her to the ground, then straddled her waist. She pushed him and they rolled so she was on top.
"Knew you'd like it on top, Faithy. Unlike Buffy."
"Buffy kicked your ass all the way to hell when she was around, and in case you've forgotten, Angelus, I'm stronger than her. And I won't hestitate to kill you."
"But you are now. And by the way..."
Angelus flipped them again.
Logan
Logan wrenched Angelus off Faith and threw him into the side of a building.
"Faith, let's get to the Jeep. It'll go faster then him."
Damn, he wished he had his bike. But the Jeep was sturdy enough to keep the vampire out.
Angelus and Faith
Angelus snarled as he charged after Faith and Logan.
"Remember last time I came out to play, Faithy? Whatever happened to dear old Zac?"
Faith ignored him and jumped into the Jeep, a hand going up to her neck to stop the blood from flowing.
Logan
Logan jumped into the driver's seat, jamming the key's in the ignition and twisting them as he took it out of park, into drive and stomped on the accelerator.
The Jeep screamed as he closed his door, and swung it into the traffic.
"So, this is the evil twin?"
Angelus and Faith
Angelus started to run after them, holding his stomach slightly.
Faith nodded.
"God, I should call Red and get her to look into the curse again. Jesus, why the hell did I trust him?"
Logan
"Ya don't have my nose, nor my instincts," Logan said.
He glanced at her, then opened the dashbox.
"Medkit for ya neck. I've been getting out of situations like this longer then you have."
Angelus and Faith
Angelus stopped running and smiled slightly.
He'd just go to the mansion.
Faith took the medkit out and bandaged up her neck.
"God, I forgot how much that stings."
Logan
"He'll go to the mansion, I know it..." Logan mused.
He got onto the long empty stretch of highway, and glanced art Faith.
"Hold on."
He flipped a buttoncover on the dash off, then pressed the button inside. A coughing roar, and the Jeep went faster.
"Got to get there before he does. Get ready."
Faith and Angelus
Faith leaned back against her seat, watching the road pass by quickly.
Angelus flipped out his cell phone and called Elizabette.
Logan & Elizabette
Logan roared up to the school gates, opening them with a button remote in his car, then closing them again behind them. He screeched to a halt in front of the entrance anf got out.
"You need to see Blue."
Elizabette got her phone out of her purse, watching the people walking by on the boulevard.
"Hello?" she purred, stroking Heath's hair gently.
Faith and Angelus
"I heal pretty fast, I'll be ok."
Faith looked at him and knew he wasn't really going to let her not go. Hospitals gave her the heebie jeebies.
Angelus leaned against a building.
"Hey there, gorgeous. Need your help."
Logan, Heath & Elizabette
"Ya go, or I drag ya down there myself," Logan growled.
"And I need to go make sure the security is tight, wake up Spike and the others I think will be able to help."
Meaning, not Cyke.
"Angelus!" Elizabette said in delight.
Heath rolled his eyes sullenly.
"What for?"
Faith and Angelus
"Fine."
Faith headed for the medlabs, holding her neck slightly.
"You heard of the Wolverine?" Angelus asked.
Logan, Spike & Elizabette
Logan nodded sharply, and went to wake up Spike.
"Up, Fang! Got a bit of a situation on our hands."
"BLEEDING WELL SOD OFF!"
"Angelus."
"Why didn't yer say so? Let me get me kit on then."
Logan nodded slightly, and went to turn all the security systems on high alert.
"Yes," Elizabette said thoughtfully.
"Odious, hairy brute of a Canadian. Weapon X project. Claws. Healing factor. Why?"
Faith and Angelus
Faith opened the door to the medlabs and kinda just fainted from loss of blood.
"Well, turns out Faithy has him as a protector now. Zac, I could get past, not this one. I need some help distracting him, then I can get the young Slayer and make her one of us," Angelus said.
Logan, Spike, Heath, Hank & Elizabette
Logan went up into the control room and started setting everything onto higher settings.
Spike dressed, and quickly pressed a kiss to Vortigern's forehead, before he left his sleeping lover quickly. He grabbed an axe on his way out. If they could chop his hand off...
"Oh my stars and garters!" Hank said in shock, then carried her over to a bed.
He set up an IV line to give her back blood, before turning his attention to the wound on her neck.
"Needs us to help him out a hole?" Heath said lazily, but loud enough so Angelus could hear him on the other end.
"Isn't this getting familair?"
"Be quiet, Childe!" Elizabette hissed at him and Heath looked down.
"The school then, Angelus?"
Faith and Angelus
Faith groaned slightly in pain.
Angelus rolled his eyes.
"The school."
Heath, Hank & Elizabette
Hank tutted slightly, then replaced the bloodbag.
"See you there then, Sire," Elizabette said, then hung up.
She headed for her car, heels clicking on the pavement.
"So, we're to be the distraction," Heath spat in disgust.
"Shut up, or I'll let the minions have you."
Heath shut up, glowering darkly.
Faith and Angelus
Faith smiled slightly at Hank.
"I've had worse, calm down, doc."
Angelus hopped into his car and started the drive to the mansion.
Heath, Spike, Logan, Hank & Elizabette
Hank smiled at her faintly.
"Let's just concentrate on getting you patched up so your healing can take over."
Heath drummed his fingers against the side of the car as Phillipe drove them out to the school. This was stupid. Foolhardy. Just so Angelus could get his hands on a Slayer...
They arrived.
Spike was patrolling the grounds in preperation and heard the car pull up. And he felt something else as well. Hefting the axe over his shoulder, he strolled up to the gates as the backdoors of the car opened.
"Ah, Lizzie. Sire wants his little pet around?" he sneered.
Elizabette looked back at him coolly and Heath smirked slightly.
"William. Going to betray your Sire again?"
"See, there's this thing where I like Faith the way she is...alive."
Logan flipped the automatic defenses, then made his way to the front door.
Faith and Angelus
Faith felt herself gettin a little stronger as the new blood replaced the old.
Angelus parked round the back and started the climb over the wall.
Spike, Logan, Heath & Elizabette
Spike's head snapped up.
"This just got more interesting."
He ran past Logan who stalked to the gate and growled at the two vampires. Heath snarled back.
"Plucky little kid."
"Isn't he gorgeous?" Elizabette sighed, curling her fingers through Heath's hair.
"I would suggest you stop, William."
Spike ignored her, heading to where he could sense Angelus.
"Pyr!"
Spike stumbled back from the wall of flame, growling uneasily.
Faith and Angelus
Faith sat up slightly.
"Can I get going, Dr McCoy? I'm right now."
Angelus stealthily slipped inside the school and sniffed out Faith.
Logan, Spike, Heath, Octavian, Elizabette & Hank
Logan growled at Elizabette, who laughed merrily.
"He can stay there."
Spike gritted his teeth and jumped through.
"Wolvie, he's in the school!"
Logan turned at this and they both started to run. Elizabette tutted in annoyance and Heath vaulted the gates before running after them. He was going to get dusted. Just so Angelus could have this Slayer. How fantastic.
Elizabette waved her hands and the gates split open.
She walked through calmly.
Octavian paced his room uneasily, unable to sleep. He decided to go get something to drink, or maybe he could ask Dr McCoy for some sleeping pills. He didn't want to sleep if he was going to have nightmares. He opened his door softly and started to walk down the hallwy, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"If you think you will be fine..." Hank said doubtfully.
"But Logan will have my hide if anything happens to you I could prevent."
Faith and Angelus
Faith patted Dr McCoy's arm.
"I'd kick Logan's ass before he hurt you."
She headed out of the medlabs and tensed slightly. She took the lift upstairs and started to head for Brand's and Airlia's room when...
"Hello Faithy. You and me now," Angelus said softly.
Heath, Logan, Spike, Octavian & Elizabette
Heath tackled Logan to the ground desperately, ducking to avoid the lethal claws that were swung at him. Spike pulled him up and off and he snarled in the older vampire's face in fright and anger.
"Why you here, kid?" Spike said, then threw him halfway back to the gate.
"C'mon, Lizzie. You and me."
"Excellent, William," Elizabette said.
They started to fight. Logan got to his feet and ran inside the mansion to find Faith.
Octavian came around the corner and blinked, not understanding what his tired mind was presenting him with.
"Faith? Angel?"
Faith and Angelus
"Tav, go back to your room," Faith said, her eyes never leaving Angelus's.
"No, let the kid play," Angelus said, smirking.
"Tav, go. Now."
Faith ducked Angelus's first punch, and sent him flying back with one of hers. He landed with a thud, then flipped to his feet, extending his arm and a knife sliding out of his sleeve. He slashed across Faith's stomach.
"Tell me, what's the deal with Wolverine? I was hoping you'd be with Zac. Easier to kill him, you see."
Faith's head fell back as Angelus hit her, then she recovered and jumped up on the doorframe and pistoned her legs out, kicking him in the face.
"None of your business."
Logan, Heath & Octavian
Logan ran into the mansion, searching desperately. Heath ran in right behind him, amber eyes glowing.
"Vampire!" Logan snarled when he saw Angelus and pounced, claws already sliding through the air and aimed for Angelus's chest.
Heath jumped, crashing down against Logan and cursing as he was the one that wound up on the bottom. He moved his head quickly as Logan stabbed downwards with his claws and then punched Logan in the face before getting out of that situation.
Octavian couldn't take it in for a moment, then he turned to go get help. Heath smiled, and grabbed him by the hair.
"You, get to stay. Stay out of this, Wolverine, or I'll snap his neck, yes?"
Heath grinned as Logan got to his feet.
"I might just break something anyway. Fingers? Arm?"
Oh god, not his hands! Octavian kicked out at Heath wildly, and the vampire growled his displeasure, banging the teen's head against a wall. Octavian went limp.
Faith and Angelus
Faith punched Heath hard, and grabbed Octavian from him, then carried him away.
Angelus dodged Logan, then ran after Faith, pushing Octavian onto the floor.
Faith punched him and Angelus's head reeled back.
Octavian, heath & Logan
Octavian hit the floor with a groan and Heath jumped straight over Logan's back to pin the teen to the floor. He grinned at Octavian who stared up at him with terrified eyes and then rocked his hips slowly against the blond. Octavian moaned in fright.
"Hmm, interesting. Gonna come back for you..."
He flipped so Octavian was on top and Logan had no chance to plunge the claws into him, then threw the teen at Logan. The mutant caught him and then pushed him down the hall.
"Get out of the damn way, kid!"
Heath snickered and then slipped past Logan to punch Octavian again, forcing him against a wall. Octavian's head lolled dazedly, blue eyes blurred with tears.
Angelus and Faith
Angelus ripped the bandage off Faith's neck and drank from her again, then while she was close to being passed out, he punched her and scarpered.
"Thanks Lizpet," he murmured.
Heath, Octavian, Logan, Spike, Hank & Elizabette
Heath kissed Octavian hard, tasting blood.
"Be back, pet."
He dropped the teen and ran for it. Logan ran after Fiath and Angelus, snarling.
Octavian moaned softly, then he got to his feet slowly and headed down to the medlabs.
Heath ran to Elizabette and pulled her away from Spike, grunting as a stake buried itself in his shoulderblades.
"We go now!"
Elizabette looked at him and nodded sharply, before they turned tail and ran. Spike cursed and picked up his axe from the grass, going after them.
Octavian stumbled into the medlabs and let Hank take care of him. He felt like he was going to throw up, feeling his lips throb as the fangmarks closed up.
Angelus and Faith
Angelus scaled the wall, Faith's body hanging limply in his arms. He tossed her into the back of his car and sniffed.
"Really have to get that wolf smell off you, Faithy."
Heath, Spike, Logan & Elizabette
Heath held the door of the car open for Elizabette as she got in. He got in after her and the car zoomed away. Spike threw his axe at it, but missed the wheel.
"DAMMIT!" he snarled angrily.
Heath ran his tongue thoughtfully around his mouth, tasting Octavian's blood. The little he'd given the boy of his own...could call him with that. Fun.
Logan ran after Angelus, furious and afraid for Faith. He climbed the wall, then dropped down on the other side.
Angelus and Faith
Angelus hopped into the front seat and started to drive away.
"Looks like Wolverine's coming for you. How sweet."
Faith's eyes looked around wildly, and she tried to open the door. It was childlocked, so she kicked at it.
Nothing. She was too weak at the moment.
She kicked through the window after a moment's hesitation, and jumped out, tumbling along the road.
Logan
Logan ran to her and picked her up carefully.
"How are ya, darlin'?"
He started to run back to where he could get them over the wall.
Faith and Angelus
Faith looked blankly at Logan and her head fell back.
"Five by five."
Angelus cursed and turned the car around.
Logan
"Liar," Logan said.
He moved her over his shoulder carefully.
"Hold on."
He started to scale the wall as quickly as he could.
Angelus and Faith
Angelus watched with amusement, then looked down at his stomach.
It was doubtful he could fight Logan again tonight.
Faith smiled slightly.
"I'm fine. Or I will be."
Logan, Octavian & Hank
"Still getting the doc to check you over," Logan said firmly.
He carried her down to the medlabs and opened the door. Octavian blinked tiredly at them both. Hank wasn't letting him sleep in case he had a concussion. And he could feel like this itch in his head...
He tried his best to ignore it.
"Another patient for ya, Blue," Logan said, putting Faith down on a bed.
"Dear me," Hank murmured.
He started to patch Faith up.
Faith
"Logan, I'm fine," Faith protested.
Damn all that fighting tonight.
Logan, Octavian & Hank
"Liar," Logan told her again.
Hank checked her pulse, and then her eyes.
Octavian squeezed his eyes shut, feeling the itch get worse. Logan's head turned and Octavian slumped forward on the bed, then slowly slid to the floor. He picked the blond up and put him back on the bed. Hank made a hmm noise.
"I didn't think he had concussion...wake him up, Logan."
"Kid...kid, wake up!"
Faith
Faith tried to sit up, glaring at Logan.
"I'm fine."
She thought for a moment.
"Did he drink blood?"
Logan
"Don't know," Logan said.
"Vampire bit him, but it smelt like the blood was all his..."
Faith
"Hmmm."
Faith cracked her arm back into place.
"He should be alright then, I guess..."
Logan & Hank
"Why, what would happen if he had?" Hank asked.
Logan tapped Octavian's face lightly, gaining no response.
Faith
"Blood's important, yeah... it's life. Even just a little swapping of your blood with a vamps, they can still call you to them, and you have to obey."
Faith thought back briefly and sighed in relief as she had not drank any of Angelus's blood... Logan's, yes, Angelus's, no.
Logan & Hank
"Fascinating," Hank murmured.
"So, we keep watch over him for a couple of days, make sure he doesn't run off," Logan said.
"If he does, we follow him, stake the vamp."
Faith
"Ha, nice plan Logan," Faith commented.
"I think I'll sit back and watch that one play out."
Logan & Hank
"Hmm," Logan said.
"Can we go, Blue?"
"Yes," Hank said, checking over Faith one last time.
"Just...no strenous activity for the next couple of days."
Faith
Faith pouted slightly.
"Depends on your idea of strenuous, I guess."
Logan & Hank
"What I would call strenous," Hank said firmly.
"Let those cuts have a chance to heal."
"Ruining all our fun, Blue," Logan said, teasingly for Logan.
Hank coughed and started to polish his glasses furiously.
Faith
"Doesn't mean we can't do other things."
Faith hopped up from the bed and got to her feet.
"Cut will be healed by tomorrow anyway."
Logan & Hank
"Humour me, please," Hank said.
"I'll see she does," Logan said.
"Come on then, darlin'."
Faith
Faith shook her head slightly.
"Fine, you're all against me."
She walked over to Logan.
Logan
"Yeah, ya get that," Logan said.
"Catch ya later, Blue. Make sure Jeannie buys more twinkies."
He ushered Faith out the door, breathing in her scent.
Faith
Faith let herself be led into the lift.
"I thought you were going to humour the good doctor."
Logan
"Am. We're just gonna take things slow for once," Logan said.
He waited for the lift to finish moving.
"Hope the kid's gonna be alright. He was just in the wrong place, at the wrong time."
Faith
"He'll be alright."
Faith leaned against Logan.
"Thanks, by the way."
Logan
"Ain't a problem, darlin'," Logan said, kissing her gently.
"I look after what's mine."
Faith
Faith kissed him back.
"Again, with the needing to swoon. I'll chalk that up to loss of blood, so your head doesn't get big."
Logan
"Mebbe we shouldn't do anything, just sleep," Logan said.
"Ya were pretty badly hurt."
He led her through the silent school to his room.
Faith
Faith sighed.
"Ok, if that's really what you want."
Logan
Logan stopped and kissed her firmly.
"Sometimes, best just to rest. Don't be silly."
He started to lead her again, then opened the door to his room.
Faith
Faith smiled slightly and went into the room. She peeled her clothes off and lay down on the bed.
"You ok?" she asked lazily.
Logan
"He wasn't after me," Logan said.
"I'm fine. You, sleep."
Faith
"Pushy son of a bitch."
Faith smiled and rolled over, pulling the blanket over her.
Logan
"Been told that...often."
Logan got undressed, then lay beside her, pulling her into his arms.
Faith
"With good reason."
Faith snuggled against him and drifted off to sleep.
Logan
Logan growled softly in contentment, before starting to doze lightly. He stayed on gaurd.
