Faith and Angel
Faith lifted her head from the pillow and rubbed at her eyes tiredly.
Man, her head was buzzing.
Oh wait, that was her phone.
She reached for it and answered, head back buried in her pillow.
"Mmmphllo?"
"Faith?"
Faith sat up.
"Hey Angel, what's up?"
"Look, we just got a call from the Watcher's Council, seems they're not too happy with you at the moment," the vampire replied.
"That's nothing new, Angel. They're never happy with me."
"Probably not. I'll talk to Gunn and Wes about it, because either of them could help you out there. Wes used to be part of the Council, and Gunn now has the talking skills to get you out of trouble."
"Wait, question... I'm still working for the Council, aren't I? I mean, I'm still killing stuff for them."
"Technically, you're not. Yes, you still go out and fight, but not under their terms. To them, you're still a rogue. You don't answer to them, and seeing as Buffy's... you're the true Slayer. Which means..."
"If I die, they'd be Slayerless," Faith finished.
"And they don't want that, so they might..."
"I always say it's not a normal week if someone's not trying to kill me. Ok, I'll go to London."
"I'll organise our jet. You'll be going as soon as possible."
"Roger that, Dark Avenger."
Faith hung up and went to go find Logan.
Logan
Logan was running a training sim, killing the computer provided oppenants easily.
"End simulation version Logan 256, background noise overlay random city traffic 14," the computer's recorded female voice said pleasantly as the silver and white walls of the Danger Room reasserted themselves.
Feeling pleasantly stretched and sweaty, Logan jogged out of the control room to go grab a shower.
Faith
Faith ran a hand through her mussed hair, and decided to have a shower before going to find Logan.
She scooped up a handful of clothes, then went to the bathroom.
Logan
Logan opened the door to his room, to hear the shower already running. He grinned wolfishly as he closed the door behind him silently and stripped, dumping his clothes in the laundry basket. Padding quietly into the bathroom, he watched Faith through the clouded shower glass for a moment, before he got in behind her.
"How ya feeling, darlin'?" he asked in a husky voice, hand sliding up to hold her breast as his other hand wandered down between her legs.
Faith
Faith turned and kissed Logan gently, hand sliding down to grasp his length.
"I'm better now. How was your workout?"
Logan
"It was good," Logan rumbled in her ear, before he nipped it gently.
He slid two fingers into her slowly.
Faith
Faith moaned softly, and licked over his neck.
"Good to hear..."
Logan
"Had Blue fix me up a new sim..."
Logan moved his fingers in her slowly.
"It's not bad."
Faith
Faith nodded, closing her eyes and reaching up to kiss him.
"Good, good..."
Logan
Logan kissed her hard, pulling her body against him as he slid another finger inside her. He bit at her neck none too gently, leaving red marks.
Faith
Faith moaned hitching herself up against him.
"Mmmm."
Logan
"GOnna come for me, darlin'?"
Logan rolled her nipple between his fingers, biting hard on her shoulder to draw blood.
Faith
"Don't I always?" Faith breathed.
She kissed him hard, biting his lips as she came.
Logan
"Yeah."
Logan slid his fingers out of her and lifted her up against the shower wall as he entered her roughly.
Faith
Faith clenched around him, wrapping her legs around his back, and leaning down to kiss him again.
Logan
Logan kissed her back hard as he thrust into her, grinding his hips against her.
"God, Faith..."
Faith
Faith moaned into his mouth, tightening around him again.
"Goddddd..."
Logan
Logan hissed in a breath, tongue tangling with hers. He slid a hand down to rub her firmly.
Faith
"God!"
Faith moaned and let her hand wander down to fondle his balls, biting at his lips.
Logan
"F*ck!"
Logan slammed her against the wall as he came, teeth sinking into her shoulder in a vicious bite.
Faith
Faith's head thudded against the wall as she came, hips bucking slightly.
She panted for breath, feeling a good kind of sore.
Logan
Logan slid out of her slowly, letting her down gently.
"Y'alright?"
Faith
"Five by five."
Faith reached to turn the shower off.
Logan
Logan chuckled and kissed her before stepping out of the shower and grabbing a towel.
"As you always are."
Faith
Faith reached for a towel and pat herself dry, looking around for her clothes.
"Got trouble. I kinda need to talk to you about something."
Logan
"Oh?"
Logan looked up sharply, before rubbing at his dripping hair with the towel to dry it a little.
Faith
"Yeah."
Faith grabbed a clean g-string and slid it up her legs, then picked up her jeans.
"Angel called this morning."
Logan
"Why am I not surprised he's involved."
Logan grabbed his jeans and put them on.
Faith
"Because he's always involved?"
Faith put her bra on, then her shirt.
"Cut a long story short, I have to go to London."
Logan
"London?"
Logan looked at her.
"What is there in London?"
Faith
"Watcher's Council."
Faith towel dried her hair.
"They want to see me about getting another Watcher, because basically, if I don't get one, they'll kill me."
Logan
"Did Angel tell them you have a very bad man for a lover who would slice them into little pieces if they tried?" Logan said angrily.
"I don't believe these people."
Faith
"Well, no..."
Faith slid her arms around Logan's neck and kissed him.
"I'll be coming back, I have to play nice. I know the guys they'd send after me, and they're not the greatest people I've met."
Logan
"Can't I just kill them?" Logan asked.
He nuzzled her neck.
"Make a lot of problems go away."
Faith
"Well... some of the other Slayer's might need them."
Faith leaned into him.
"I won't be gone long. You'll barely notice I'm gone."
Logan
"Darlin'...I always notice."
Logan sighed, resting his head against her shoulder.
"Dammit."
Faith
"Oh I'm just a regular pain in the ass."
Faith kissed his cheek.
"I'll call and harrass you everyday."
Logan
"Alright."
Logan looked at her.
"Get back as quick as you can."
Faith
"You think I'm gonna stay somewhere else when I can be here with you?"
Faith smiled at him.
"I'll have to stay as long as they want me. I know they'll use anything as a threat for me to stay, and I don't want people like... dying on my account."
Logan
"Jesus, for guys supposedly on the side of right, they sound just like the bad guys."
Logan kissed her gently.
Faith
"Oh they were good to B, but then again, she didn't kill any innocents."
Faith shrugged.
"But then, I've always done things my way."
Logan
"And threatening to kill people to get you to work for them is a good guy kind of thing?" Logan said.
"And I like the way you do things. You get things done."
Faith
"Hmmm, flattery gets you everywhere."
Faith licked his neck slowly.
"They do what they have to. Technically I'm inactive, and being inactive is as good as being dead, so... if they have to kill Angel to get me to co-operate, they'd do it."
Logan
"Damn."
Logan kissed her again.
Faith
Faith kissed him back.
"Anyway, I have to pack and stuff, Gunn will be here any minute..."
Logan
"Are you taking Airlia and Brand?" Logan asked.
He grimaced at the mention of Brand's name.
Faith
"I'll be taking Airlia, but it's up to Brand if he wants to stay..."
Faith noted his look.
"But I can make him come if you want?"
Logan
"Him...and Jubilee...in close quarters..."
Logan kissed her gently.
"I think he's real good at climbing out of windows."
Faith
Faith laughed and kissed him back.
"Ok, I'll make him come with."
She grabbed her bag and started throwing stuff into it.
"Could you get him then?"
Logan, Brand & Jubilee
Logan nodded and left the room.
Brand chuckled at something Jubilee whispered to him, eyes flickering around nervously for someone who would beat him up because they were sprawling over each other on the couch. Jubilee poked him in the side.
"Relax, Firefly. If they try anything, I'm kicking their asses."
"It's just...agh!"
Brand hid behind Jubilee as Logan entered.
"Please don't hurt me!"
Jubilee rolled her eyes at Logan.
"What do you want?"
"Faith's going, and Brand's going with. Go get packed."
Logan turned and left as Brand disentangled himself from his girlfriend and went to get packed.
Faith, Airlia and Gunn
Faith had moved on to Airlia's room and was packing some things for her daughter, while she watched on.
"I gets to see Uncle Gunn!" Airlia said happily, kicking her legs out on the bed.
"Uncle Gunn, reporting in for duty," Gunn said from the door.
"Uncle Gunn!" Airlia exclaimed, launching herself into his arms.
"Whoa, hey there."
Gunn kissed Airlia's forehead, picking her up.
"You ready, Faith?"
"Just about. Waiting for Brand."
Brand & Jubilee
Brand appeared, Jubilee complaining under her breath about hyperprotective father figures and annoying as hell slayers who made her boyfriend leave when they'd only be going out for about two days.
"Hey Gunn, Faith," Brand said.
Jubilee grabbed his shirt and leant up to kiss him hard.
"Come back, or I swear to god I will do something nasty to Wolvie and Faith. And you. And you know I can."
"Why wouldn't I be coming back?" Brand said softly, cupping her face with one hand and kissing her gently.
"Because!"
Jubilee turned on her heel and fled, hands glowing with sparks in
her agitation. Brand sighed and turned to face Gunn and Faith.
Faith and Gunn
"Hey, my way, you'd be staying here with her. Logan got antsy.
Speaking of whom..."
Faith handed Airlia's bag to Gunn, who put it over his shoulder,
still holding the little girl.
"Ready?"
"Just wanna say bye to Logan."
Brand
"Why does no one trust me?" Brand sighed.
He looked at Gunn.
"Every male in this place besides Kurt and Nikolai, and the
professor, and Scott, have threatened with me with bodily harm and
or castration if I ever hurt Jubes. It's making me paranoid as hell."
Faith, Airlia and Gunn
Faith darted off and found Logan. She hugged him tightly.
"I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Going now?" Airlia asked.
"Wait!"
She shifted and fell out of Gunn's grip, then galloped off to say
goodbye to Kanika.
Gunn looked at Brand.
"Come on, we'll meet them at the jet."
Logan, Kanika & Brand
Logan nuzzled her neck as he held her tight.
"Better be. Or I'll come to London and kick their asses."
Kanika threw her arms around her friend and bawled.
"YOU CAN'T G0-OH! I'll miss you!"
Brand nodded and trotted after Gunn, carrying his bag over one
shoulder.
Faith, Airlia and Gunn
Faith kissed him gently, running a hand through his hair.
"I'll be back before you know it."
She slowly pulled away from him.
Airlia hugged Kanika back tightly.
"I'll miss you too! But Mom says we won't be gone for long."
Gunn walked up the stairs into the Jet and put their stuff down
on a seat.
"Did anyone tell you were you were going?"
Logan, Kanika & Brand
Logan's lips tightened as he let her go.
"Stay alive."
Kanika bawled harder.
"But I want you to stay here! Me and Fred need you!"
"No," Brand said.
"Logan's not very communicative."
Faith, Airlia and Gunn
"Always, you know me," Faith said, kissing him one last time
before leaving.
Airlia wiped her own tears away.
"But I'll buy you a present! And I'll ring you!"
Gunn nodded.
"We're going to London. Faith's in trouble with the Watcher's
Council. Which is nothing new, but they want to kill her... which is
apparently, also, nothing new."
Logan, Kanika & Brand
Logan's fists clenched, and he turned on his heel to go down to
the Danger Room and work off some frustration.
Kanika hugged her friend hard.
"But it won't be the same!"
Brand sighed softly.
"Figures. I don't like those guys much."
Faith, Airlia and Gunn
Faith heard Airlia and Kanika as she headed for the Jet and
stopped in to collect her daughter.
"It won't be long," Airlia said.
She hugged Kanika back.
"I'll ring when I get there."
She hugged Kanika again tightly, then let Faith pick her up and
leave.
"Byeeeee Kanny!"
Gunn nodded and went to talk to the pilot.
Kanika
"Byeeeeeeeeeee!" Kanika called out after Airlia, wiping her eyes.
"Snotface! Where's she going?" Fred asked as he appeared.
"Away," Kanika said sadly.
"What?! Oi! Yucky lady who doesn't wear knickers! Bring back
Boogerhead!"
Faith, Airlia and Gunn
"BYE FRED!" Airlia called over Faith's shoulder.
"I'll bring you back something to add to your burgaled
collection!"
Gunn settled into a seat in the Jet, relaxing slightly as Faith
and Airlia came in.
The door closed behind them, and Airlia went and sat on a seat.
"Let's go."
The jet took off and headed for London.
