It smells dead, yet its moving around... interesting...

Written by Nessa and Tegan

Buffy

Buffy appeared in the middle of Magneto's lair, much in the style of John Wayne... ok, not really, she simply appeared in a flash of white light, but none the less, it was still rather dramatic.

"Magneto?"


Magneto, Sabretooth, Toad & Victory

Magneto started slightly, before turning to look at Buffy with an urbane smile on his face.

"Yes? And who do I have the honour of addressing?"

"It's dead. Let's kill it properly," Sabretooth growled.

Toad snickered.

"Wot, the first bird who turns up is h'actually dead? Tough luck, chaps, real tough luck. Back to Mistress Rosy Palm and her five daughters it is then."

Victory looked up at Buffy through a raggedly cut fringe.

"Wait and see what she is, before we kill her. She could be useful, Daddy."

And she let out an evil little girl giggle, reaching up to hang onto one of Sabretooth's furs with a small hand.


Buffy

"Buffy Summers."

Buffy folded her arms over her chest.

"I have a proposition for you."


Magneto & Victory

Magneto raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed? And what may this be?"

"I kno-ow who she iii-is," Victory half sang.

"You're the Dead Slayer. Died to save the world, such a pity, nice funeral, lots of tears. And a dance over the grave to end it with."


Buffy

"And now I'm back. And looking for a little fun."

Buffy shrugged.

"Die to save the world, no one really cares... try to end it... something I'd like to experience."


Magneto & Toad

"I'm not precisely about ending the world, miss," Magneto said.

"Rather about...bringing it to a better beginning by destroying the old. Homo sapiens must make way for the superior species who are waiting not so eagerly for them to move off stage."

"And so 'ere *we* are, and 'ere *yew* are, and will you be a good girl and not go off fighting fer the other side in the middle of a battle?" Toad asked.

"That's more or less wot I'm worried about. Yew're not even a mutant, are yer?"


Buffy

"No, not as such. Slayers are just enhanced humans, really."

Buffy tucked a strand of curly blonde hair behind her ear.

"In particular, I would like to bring an end to another Slayer. I believe she is currently bumping uglies with a mutant you're familiar with."


Magneto, Toad & Sabretooth

"Madam, we are all enhanced humans here. Toad, you were recently an unwilling guest of my friend Charles's establishment. Can you verify this?" Magneto asked, turning slightly.

The green skinned mutant nodded, before his tongue flicked out to snatch a fly from the air.

"Course. Tall, whoreish, brown hair, tits up front like a porn star. Wouldn't mind topping her meself, but her man's the jealous type. With six feet of adamantium claws to back 'im h'up, so 'scuse me if I'm not gonner go tangling with th' Wolverine."

Sabretooth growled, an cat-like animal sound.

"Ah, the runt. I nearly killed his last woman, why not try again with this one?"


Buffy

"No, I'll kill her," Buffy interjected.

"I've been waiting for too long for this."


Sabretooth & Magneto

"Fine, I'll leave you the runt's c*nt," Sabretooth growled.

"I'll just kill him."

"Ah, but what can you do to aid us? If we help you do this, madam," Magneto inquired.

"Prid quo quo, Miss Summers."


Buffy

"Protection spells... my sister is at the mansion... I could help lure some students out."

Buffy shrugged.

"I'll make sure that no one moves to thwart you."


Magneto

"It sounds attractive..."

Magneto mused for a moment, before extending his hand to hers to be shaken.

"Welcome to the Brotherhood, Miss Summers."

Really, Buffy was a ridiculous name.


Buffy

Buffy extended her hand and shook Magneto's.

"Thank you. Now, shall we move to the plan?"


Magneto & Kali

Magneto nodded, smiling faintly.

"There is still one member of the Brotherhood who you have yet to meet..."

He moved to a door and opened it.

"Kali, my dear child, would you come in here please? There are matters we will be discussing that may concern you..."

The tiny Indian girl swayed through the door, golden jewellery tinkling softly. She raised her eyes to Buffy's briefly, before placing her palms together in front of her chest and bowing slightly.

"Naamarie."

"Kali, this is Buffy Summers. Miss Summers, Kali. Or Magma."


Buffy

Buffy nodded and smiled slightly.

"So, shall we begin?"


The Brotherhood

Magneto beckoned slightly and a chair came skating across to the table for Buffy to seat herself at, as the others arranged themselves around the large oval shaped table. Victory sat herself on Sabretooth's lap, hugging a golden haired doll to her chest and watching Buffy with deep green eyes.

Toad sprawled across his seat, eyes flickering with amusement.

"Down to the quick and nasty then, me old Chinas?"

"Just...don't, Mortimer," Magneto said softly.

The Brit mimed zipping his lips closed, locking them, then throwing away the key. Kali watched the proceedings with unfathomable eyes.

"You believe you can lure them out, Miss Summers?"


Buffy

"Of course... I may be dead but... well that's the basic point. Faith will come if I ask her to, and Wolverine will follow her."

Buffy nodded slightly.


The Brotherhood

"Then let us do so with alacrity," Magneto said softly.

"I have a helicopter, which Mortimer knows how to fly."

Toad grinned cockily, giving the table a thumbs up.

"Well, then, let's 'op to it."

Soon enough, the assembled group were flying through the air to New York. Victory did not cease staring at Buffy.


Buffy and Faith

Buffy flipped out a cell phone and dialled in Faith's number.

Her voice changed suddenly, to sound liek Xander's.

"Faith... you have to come... they've taken me..."

Faith's hands balled into fists.

"Where are you?"

Buffy grinned and rattled off the address.


The Brotherhood

"Positions, people," Magneto said as they strode into the dark warehouse.

Sabretooth faded into the shadows, while Kali simply sank into the earth, red crack opening up to receive her and sending gouts of heat into the air. Victory shifted and stalked into the darkness, and Toad leapt unto the roof with an agile spring, bo staff lengthening in his hand. Magneto nodded slightly at Buffy, then rose into the air by manipulating the magnetic fields around him.


Buffy and Faith

Buffy went round the corner, waiting.

Faith turned to Logan.

"Someone's caught Xander... gotta motivate."


Logan & the Brotherhood

Logan nodded, knowing she liked the man though he couldn't tell why.

"Let's go then."

Soon enough they were at the warehouse. Logan advanced into the darkness, then stopped stockstill.

"Faith...get out of here. I can't move."

Sabretooth flew out of the darkness, mouth stretched open in a feral roar.

"Let him go, Magneto! I can take the runt."

Magneto did with a twist of his hand and Logan went crashing backwards into a stack of boxes, thrown by Sabretooth, who then pounced on him with slashing claws, face twisted with glee. Victory stalked around the edges, dark green eyes floating through the dark like lanterns. Toad watched for his moment to step in.


Buffy and Faith

Faith turned to Logan, going to help him.

Buffy appeared from around the corner and threw the knife at Faith's back.

Faith turned at the last moment and caught the flat of the blade between her hands.

"Oh, B, long time no see. Being dead, how'd that work for ya?"


The Brotherhood & Logan

Magneto floated back down to the earth again.

"Hardly fair, madam."

He made a gesture with his hand and the knife flew out of Faith's hands before floating over to Buffy again.

"After all, it isn't your knife."

Logan sent Sabretooth flying and Toad dropped out of the rafters before cracking him against the skull with his bo staff. He sent Logan to his knees before kicking the other mutant in the chest. Logan soared upwards with a foot shaped hole in him and Toad made a tsking noise.

"That's gonner take f'rever to get off me boots..."


Faith and Buffy

"Wait, wait, wait... are you the bad Slayer now? Am I the good Slayer now?" Faith asked.

"Got tired, switched sides..."

"And he... can control metal and such?"

Faith nodded, then took her bra off, pulling it through her shirt.

"Ok, no more metal on Faith. Well, now we'll have a sexy nipple show going on, but I'm sure we'll deal. So... let's do this B."


Logan & the Brotherhood

Logan groaned as he hit the ground with a thud. Green eyes glowed at him from the darkness and he caugh the distinctive smell of cat before five sharp claws swiped across his eyes.

"Christ!"

Sabretooth picked him up and shook him, baring fangs.

"Not so cocky now, eh, runt?"

"You're too cocky by half, bub," Logan grunted, then sheathed six feet of adamantium in Sabretooth's stomach.

He half thought he heard a little girl scream under Sabretooth's roar, but he had to be mistaken. Toad flipped onto a stack of boxes looking down at the Slayers.

"Shoulda sold tickets. Cat fights always sell well."

"Mortimer..." Magneto sighed.

"I know, shut up. Let's see some eye gouging, ladies."


Buffy and Faith

Buffy struck first, lunging at Faith.

Faith, realising it was too late to dodge, folded into it, hunching so it didn't affect her as much, then kicked the blonde Slayer off her.

"So, didn't wait until Zac's side of the bed was cold before you jumped in with Wolverine?" Buffy asked.

Faith laughed, then punched Buffy hard, sending her flying.

"Not working."


Logan & the Brotherhood

Logan coughed up blood as he slunk around the edges of the warehouse. He needed time to heal. Time he wasn't going to get.

Sabretooth picked him up from the back and threw him into a stack of crates which came crashing down. He then leant down to whisper in Logan's ear.

"You know what? Nyx was a real...good...tight...f*ck. I wonder if this one's the same?"

Logan roared and came out of the wooden shards swinging. Sabretooth fought back, growling with laughter.

Magneto watched before Kali surfaced through the earth again, molten lava wrapping around her form.

"I think we are nearly done here, dear girl."

The Indian nodded, watching the fight.

Toad's tongue whipped out and grabbed Faith's ankle, upending her onto her back before it returned to the safety of his mouth.


Faith and Buffy

Faith landed on her back.

"Son of a bitch!"

She flipped up and kicked Buffy. Buffy caught her leg and flipped her around.

"You just wanna watch my breasts move," Faith yelled, half laughing.

"You're not in the 'game', Faith," Buffy shot back.


Toad

"Don't we wish she was on the game though," Toad catcalled, then wolf whistled.

"Spread those luscious gams for us, baby. After all, yew f*cked the Wolverine."


Buffy and Faith

"Couldn't even keep Angel alive," Buffy shot.

Faith snarled and jumped on Buffy, knocking her to the ground, straddling her waist as she punched her repeatedly.


Logan & the Brotherhood

Logan skidded across the floor, trailing blood behind him. He came up against a pile of boxes and groaned in pain, panting for breath.

"Well, she can't keep this one alive neither," Toad crowed.

"Mortimer."

"On it, boss."

Toad's tongue flipped out again, grabbing around Faith's waist and pulling her off before slinging her into a crate and coiling back into his mouth. Kali clapped politely. Sabretooth stalked over to Logan and settled to punching him repeatedly.


Faith and Buffy

Faith rolled out of the way as Buffy lunged, and her hands whipped up to grab Buffy's, fighting with her to stop the wooden stake from ramming into her heart.

"Ironic."

"F*ck off."

"Give us a kiss, first, F."


The Brotherhood & Logan

"Wheeeeo-oooh yeah!" Toad cheered.

"Let's see that girl on girl action."

"So crude..." Magneto murmured in distaste.

Kali was silent beside him, obsidian eyes watching the conflict in front of her. The faint light catching on her jewellery and decorated sari.

Sabretooth hauled Logan up, claws curved around his throat.

"Want one more look at yer man, whore? Here's the runt. About to die."


Faith

Faith grabbed the knife from Buffy's back pocket and threw it into Sabretooth's leg, then bucked the smaller Slayer off her.

"Ooh, nice trick," Buffy said, then kicked Faith's legs out from under her.

"Better one."


Sabretooth

"I was just gonna use my claws," growled Sabretooth as he wrenched the knife from his legs.

"More personal. But I think I'll use the knife his c*nt sent instead."


Faith and Buffy

Faith flipped to her feet and crash tackled Sabretooth.

Buffy shrugged, then went after her.


The Brotherhood & Logan

Sabretooth turned, wrapping one clawed hand around Faith's throat. He slammed her head against a handy wall.

"Scream for me."

Logan got up, swiping at Buffy with his claws before he went flying backwards.

"Temper, temper, Wolverine. I was right in what I told Charles. You truly are nothing but an animal."

"Better that then a sanctimonious hypocrite," Logan growled.

"And jist who do yew think yew're working fer? Mother Bloody Theresa?" Toad jeered.


Faith and Buffy

Faith brought her knee up into Sabretooth's groin, then slipped out of his grasp.

"How bout... f*ck off?" she said, kicking him in the back, sending him flying into the wall.

Buffy grinned slightly.


The Brotherhood & Logan

Sabretooth picked himself up, Victory hissing at Faith angrily.

"Nasty Slayer. You're all twisted up with lies and deceit. You don't love anyone, not really. You can't."

Magneto looked down at Kali as Logan picked himself up off the floor again.

"Magma."

"Yes, lord?"

"Finish it."

"Certainly, sir."

The small girl tossed her hand, glowing orange ball filling her palm before she raised her flat palm in front of her face and blew, a short sharp breath. The ball of molten rock flew as Logan turned to face her and he went flying. Through a wall and outside, anguished yell of pain ringing through the warehouse.

"SIX! HOWZAT?!" Toad shouted.

Magneto smiled.

"I doubt even the redoubtable Wolverine could survive a ball of lava to the chest."


Faith and Buffy

"Logan!" Faith yelled, turning to see him disappear through the wall.

"Hey, Faith... think quick!"

Buffy threw the knife swiftly, smiling triumphantly as it embedded into Faith's stomach.

"Good spot that. Too bad I have no one to feed you too this time."

Faith blinked, hand going to her stomach. She turned and hobbled away, while Buffy simply grinned.


Magneto

"So."

Magneto walked over to her slowly.

"Do you consider yourself appeased?"


Buffy and Faith

Buffy shook her head.

"There'll be more fun to come."

Faith pulled the knife from her stomach, hands shaking as she searched for Logan.


The Brotherhood

"I'm going to find the runt," Sabretooth growled.

"I want to rip his head off his body. I've seen him come back from too many things to trust this now."

Kali watched him leave in silence, moving across to stand near Magneto with a gentle and seductive sway, gold bracelets chiming gently.

"Go have your fun then, children," Magneto said.

Toad lounged back, lighting a cigarette.

"I'll just take five 'ere. I'm not going hunting 'er and 'im in the dark. I'm not ready to get offed."


Faith and Buffy

Faith looked around, pulling debris away from where she thought Logan might be, then continuing on when she didn't find him.

As soon as they got back to the mansion and she healed, Buffy was going to pay.

Buffy laughed happily.


Sabretooth & Victory

Sabretooth prowled through the darkness, sensitive nose tracking Logan's path. Victory flickered through the shadows like a ghost.

"Here, Daddy. He's here."

She pointed downwards into a derelict car and Sabretooth smiled as he came up beside her. Logan was out cold in the bottom of it.

"Good girl. Now, I want ya to go find the Slayer..."

Sabretooth detailed the message he wanted Victory to give to Faith and the little girl skipped off.

"Faaaaaith! Faaaaith! My Daddy has the Wolverine and he's going to rip his head off if you don't come and do what he says. He might give him back after, but that's the risk ya take. Roll the dice and takes ya chances. Faaaaaaith!"


Faith

Faith thought about the odds in her head.

She'd be healed in a few hours, so she should go, help Logan.


Victory

Victory materialised out of darkness, doll clutched to her chest and eerie eyes glowing green.

"Daddy wants you. Will you come? Or will he kill the Wolverine? I know there'll be ever so much blood. Daddy likes blood, you see. He wants you to scream for him."

Pale tongue darted out to lick childish lips.

"So, will you, Faith? Your body for his life."


Faith

"I'll come."

Faith held her side.


Victory & Sabretooth

"Oh...good."

Victory turned to lead Faith to where Sabretooth was waiting. The mutant smiled at her toothily, clawed hand wrapped around Logan's throat.

"He's still alive. How long...depends on you for the moment. Victory."

Victory scrambled up beside him, small hands coming to rest over his.

"Don't doubt my girl can kill him as quickly as I can, Slayer. If you try and turn the deal around without paying your due."


Faith

Faith eyed the situation.

"So, what's the deal here?"


Sabretooth

"Thought that would be obvious."

Sabretooth leered at her.

"I f*ck you, he lives. Or at least, I don't kill him now while he's out."


Faith

Faith looked back at him.

"And how do I know you'll let him live? Let him go, then my answer is yes."


Sabretooth & Victory

"Don't you trust me?"

Sabretooth chuckled, the sound near a growl before he let go of Logan's throat. Small childish hands slid into place, claws glinting in the diffuse moonlight as Victory took her father's place. Sabretooth stood, eyes gleaming like an animal's as he stepped down off the bonnet of the car.

"There. Now, come here."


Faith

"That's not exactly a reassurance that he's going to live," Faith pointed out.


Sabretooth & Victory

"Viccy won't kill him, if you don't be stupid," Sabretooth growled.

Victory giggled.

"Of course, if you do, then I get to slit his throat. But Kanny would be upset if I killed her daddy, so I don't really want to."


Faith

Sorry Logan...

Faith walked over to Sabretooth.


Sabretooth

Sabretooth reached forward to run his claws through her hair, smiling.

"I almost wish he'd wake up...so he could see me take you."

Hand closing brutally on dark strands and jerking her closer before he kissed her savagely.


Faith and Buffy

Faith closed her eyes, mind blocking out what was happening... just like riding a bike.

Buffy saw what was going on and grinned wickedly.

She could have fun with that later...


Sabretooth

Sabretooth bit her lip, tasting blood as he traced claws down her body before ripping down the front of her top with one of them. The material parted with a harsh ripping sound. He dropped his head slightly, biting her neck and shoulders with a barely restrained savagery, leaving deep toothmarks and droplets of blood behind him.

"You taste sweet."

Harsh drag of a catlike tongue across the bleeding wounds.

"No wonder the runt's so f*cking infatuated."


Faith

Faith didn't know whether to be offended or flattered.

She went for a mix and just let him do what he wanted.


Sabretooth

Sabretooth groped her almost casually, claws catching on her skin before he forced her facedown over the bonnet of the car. Logan was sprawled, still senseless and healing over the front seat.

"He'll know as soon as he wakes up..."

Sabretooth forced her pants down over her hips as he licked assidously at the blood on her shoulders. Now... He rubbed his thumb over firmly, other hand working at getting his pants undone. If he could make her come...it would hurt the runt so much more.


Faith

Faith's eyes were tightly closed, refusing to look at Logan.

Back to faking orgasms.


Sabretooth

Sabretooth used his fingers to stimulate her further, his touch a parody of a lover's caress.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting to kill him? Seems like forever. And here I am, throwing it up for a chance to f*ck you."


Faith

"Well, I am really hot," Faith said, wincing as her cut hit the car.

She bit her lip slightly.

Logan, heal, wake up, get him off me.


Sabretooth

"POint."

Sabretooth shifted slightly, pressing her down further onto the car before slamming into her brutally, hands gripping her hips hard.


Faith

Faith hissed slightly.

Ok, ow.


Sabretooth

Sabretooth rotated his hips slowly, growling into her ear.

"F*ck, so tight...:"


Faith

Faith tried not to feel the overwhelming sense of disgust.

"I tell myself every day."


Sabertooth

Sabretooth thrust into her hard over and over. He came with a snarl, fangs sinking viciously into her shoulder and claws leaving deep red scratches across her stomach and hips. He licked her neck slowly.

"Wish I could see his face when he knows I've f*cked you."

He withdrew slowly, smiling a psychopathic smile.


Faith

Faith breathed heavily, wincing in pain.

"That it? We done here?"

Logan, wake up... kill him...


Sabretooth & Victory

Sabretooth smacked her ass.

"We're done. Why, eager for another round?"

He fixed his pants up, redraping the furs around his shoulders.

"Viccy, I leave and then you come find me once I'm out of sight. Don't feel like moving from fighting to f*cking again."

Victory nodded, slim deadly claws held to Logan's throat. Sabretooth smirked, looked at Faith again and turned and left. A few minutes after, Victory shifted into her cat form and ran off as well.


Faith

Ow, holy shit, she hurt.

Faith moved to Logan's side and lifted him up.

God, she was so not strong enough for this at the moment.

On shaking legs, she started to carry him back to the mansion.


The Brotherhood & Logan

Sabretooth arrived back where Magneto was waiting quickly, Victory trotting at his side and fairly oozing with self satisfaction. Toad snickered.

"So, the cat finally got his end away. Can we go?"

"We will await Miss Summers appearance, and then we will go," Magneto said.

"Mortimer, go start the helicopter."

Logan stirred, eyes sliding open reluctantly as the hole in his chest finally healed over. He made an inarticulate moan.


Faith and Buffy

Faith stopped and put Logan down, leaning him against a car.

"You ok?"

Buffy appeared and nodded.

"Ok."


Logan & the Brotherhood

Logan breathed in more deeply and his eyes snapped open, blazing with anger.

"I'll f*cking kill him."

He tried to get up off the car, bloody murder in his eyes and mouth open in a snarl.

"Then let us depart," Magneto said smoothly.

They left as they came.


Faith

"I..."

Faith held him down, looking at her feet.

"I'm sorry."


Logan

"I'm going to rip off his f*cking dick and make him eat it," Logan said in a rage.

"How f*cking dare he touch ya?"


Faith

"Logan, can you rage later? I need to see Dr McCoy before I get infected."

Faith touched his cheek gently.


Logan

"F*cking kill him..."

Logan shook it off as best he could and started to walk to the medlabs, watching her carefully in case she needed help.


Faith

Faith hobbled along awkwardly, feeling a little light headed from the loss of blood.

She wavered and then passed out, starting to fall.


Logan & Hank

Logan caught her before she hit the ground, then ran for the medlabs. God, please be alright, darlin'...

Hank looked up startled as Logan banged into his medlabs, then was riveted by the sight of Faith. He got up from his desk, going to get the nessecary supplies.

"Put her on a bed. Gently. What happened?"


Faith

Faith's eyes fluttered slightly and she opened them slowly.

Ow.


Logan & Hank

"Sabretooth happened," Logan growled, anger, grief and fear warring across his face.

"*God*, Blue, he-"

"Hush."

Hank slowly and gently catalogoued the extent of Faith's injuries over the upper half of her body, before turning to Logan.

"I think it would be best if you leave now."

The usually mild mannered doctor stared Logan down before the other turned on his heel with a snarl and stomped out. Hank turned back to his patient.

"Faith, you will have to tell me what happened."


Faith

Faith took a deep breath.

"Got a phone call and I thought it was Xander, so we went to see what was up, and then... it wasn't him. It was Buffy, and she's apparently not dead and joined up with Magneto, and then... there was this huge fight and then Logan was... he was..."

She breathed heavily, eyes welling up as she tried to verbalise what Sabretooth had done.


Hank

Hank waited patiently, concern in his eyes.

"What happened after that, Faith?" he prompted gently.


Faith

"He said that if I didn't... then he'd kill Logan."

Faith closed her eyes, heart racing.

"I didn't want to, but I didn't want Logan to..."


Hank

"I see."

Hank paused for a moment.

"Faith, I think I will need to examine you more closely. May I?" he said delicately.


Faith

Faith nodded.

"Can... can I see Logan first?"


Hank & Logan

"Of course."

Hank went to the door where Logan was smoking one of his almost everpresent cigars with a scowl on his face.

"She wishes to speak with you."

Logan pushed past Hank, who quietly retired outside so the two could talk in private.

"Darlin'..."


Faith

"I'm not so good at this, mainly coz I usually think the world's out to screw me, so I'm generally more owed than owing... but I'm sorry."

Faith reached for his hand weakly.


Logan

"Sorry? For what?" Logan asked in confusion as he took her hand.

"Darlin', this was not your fault."


Faith

"For making you come with me."

Faith brushed hair from her eyes.


Logan

"I would have followed ya even if you hadn't said," Logan said.

"I would have been there anyway, darlin', so don't you go beating yaself up over it."


Faith

"But you're ok, yeah? All healed?"

Faith looked up at him.


Logan

"I'm fine."

Logan let his worry touch his eyes more.

"I'm more worried about you."


Faith

"Nothing I can't handle. Rough sex... you know, used to it."

Faith smiled weakly.


Logan

"Don't lie to me, Faith."

Logan bared his teeth in an unfriendly snarl.

"And don't lie to Blue neither. Let us *help* you, alright? It's my f*cking fault the overgrown house cat decided to touch ya anyway."


Faith

"I'm ok. Little stabbing, little tearing... it's not your fault, Logan. I let him do it."


Logan

"He wouldn't have wanted to hurt you, if you weren't with me," Logan growled.

"Like hell it isn't my fault."


Faith

"Logan, please... can you just get Dr McCoy in again?"

Faithsqueezed his hand gently.


Logan & Hank

"I should have been there to stop him..."

Logan shook his head and went to get Hank.

"Blue? You can come back in."

Hank entered quickly before shooing Logan out of his medlabs. He came back to Faith and looked at her seriously.

"I will need to check for tearing, Faith. And I will need a blood sample. You shouldn't have contracted anything...but best to be sure."


Faith

Faith held an arm out.

"Prod away."


Hank

Hank took the blood as gently as possible, then went to start on his tests. He also came back with a pill and a glass of water.

"This is what's commonly known as a morning after pill. I would like you to take it, and then I will need to examine you."


Faith

Faith took the pill and winced slightly.

She hated taking pills.

"Ok."


Hank

"Best to be as sure as possible," Hank said diplomatically.

He glanced up at her again, before delicately making sure that she wasn't hurt too badly. He did it as quickly as possible without skimping before moving away to wash his hands.

"You seem to be fine, however I would advise no sexual activites for a few days."


Faith

"I'll let you tell Logan that," Faith said dryly.

She tried to sit up, then just gave up.

"Ok... I'll just lie here."


Hank

"You're perfectly welcome to sleep here," Hank said.

"It might be better, even. Would you like a sedative to help you sleep?"


Faith

"Ah, no, sleep per chance to dream and such."

Faith sat up properly.

"Spent far too much time in hospitals, we don't click. But thanks anyway."


Hank

"Do you require assisstance?" Hank asked.

"I think Logan went to get drunk...it is one of his usual coping mechanisms."


Faith

"I'm good, thanks."

Faith got to her feet.

"Thanks again, Dr McCoy."

She hobbled out of the medlabs and up to her room.
