BtSV7:LA Law
Buffy and Willow get out of Oz's van.
"Do you want to come up and say hi?" asks Buffy. "They would probably like to see you
too."
"No thanks." he replies. "I just saw them on the way to Sunnydale."
"Thanks for the ride." says Willow. "It was really nice seeing you, once we didn't have
the Initiative chasing us anyway. And we are still friends."
"Absolutely." agrees Buffy. "You helped save Willow. Look us up when you are in the area."
"I will." he agrees. "Well I have got to meet some people about a gig."
He gets in his van and drives off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Cordelia, we can not afford another car!" Angel is getting annoyed. "We can barely make
expenses as it is."
"But... Don't look at me like that." she grumps. "Oh, okay. You are cute when you're
mad." She kisses him.
"Knock, knock." Buffy gets their attention, and they break apart.
"Buffy, Willow. Look Angel, its Willow and Buffy." babbles the former cheerleader.
"I think I got that, Cordelia." He is cool except for his mussed up hair.
"Hi guys." greets Buffy. "We had a few problems with the Initiative so we decided to get
out of Dodge for a few days."
"What happened?" asks Angel.
"One of them saw me get hit by a car then walking around the next day." explains the
Wiccan. "They decided I wasn't human and grabbed me."
"In the rescue we sorta trashed the place." continues Buffy. "We are waiting for them to
break up, and forget us."
"You can stay at my place if you don't mind a ghostly roommate." offers Cordelia. "I will
have to introduce you, though."
"Where will you stay?" asks Willow. She flushes when she sees Angel and Cordelia grin at
each other. "Right, silly me."
"Hey Willow." calls Buffy. "They have a Webcam. Could you?"
"Sure. Uh, may I?" she looks at Angel.
"Okay." responds Angel.
Willow sits down and starts typing on his computer. After a couple minutes of Buffy takes
her place, and brushes her hair.
"Angel, you might want to see this." Buffy offers, standing up.
Angel sits down and looks at the screen, seeing himself.
"What the...?" blurts the stunned vampire. "How in..?"
"Webcam to screen." grins Buffy. "You now have a hi-tech vampire mirror. Neat huh."
Angel looks again and straightens his hair. "Very neat." he agrees.
"Hey, Angel, thanks for the shower." says Faith walking into the room.
"What are you doing here?" demands Buffy.
"Calm down Buffy." says Angel. "She is staying here for a few days while she gets her head
straight."
"You didn't tell ME that!" yelps Cordelia. "I don't want her sleeping where we do."
"Faith, I am gonna beat.."
"Cordy, let me explain..."
"B! I thought you were..."
"*QUIET!*" everyone shuts up and looks at the usually quiet hacker in amazement. "Now
Faith, you first."
"I got off the bus and just sort of wandered." the dark Slayer starts. "I saw Angel in a
fight with way to many demons, so I lent a hand. After it was over we came back here and
talked."
"She tried to kill you, remember?" challenges Buffy. "How can you ignore that?"
"She apologized, and I believe her." comes the calm response.
"Hey B. I got the strangest feeling, a while back." Faith says. "You know that feeling you
get when a slayer dies? I got it again. The first time was when Kendra died and I became a
slayer."
"Yeah, I died again, sort of." agrees the Slayer Vampire. "Spike got me." She shows her
game face. "He turned me. Willow married me restoring my soul, and making me very happy."
She grins at her mate.
"That means..." Faith pauses.
"Yup! You're the one and only slayer now." agrees Buffy. "Giles told me that no other
slayer has been called."
"Giles is a watcher again." pipes in Willow. "Most of the bad stuff from the council was
caused by former watcher Quentin Travers. Including sending Wesely as the new watcher."
"What about me?" asks Wesely coming in. He looks around and sees Buffy still showing
fangs.
"Get back! I am trained to kill!" He hides behind Angel.
"Relax, Wes." says Buffy putting away her fangs. "I am still one of the good guys. I even
have a soul."
A loud rumbling is suddenly heard, echoed by another.
"What is that?" Wesely freaks. "Some new form of monster?"
"No, I am hungry." says Willow with an embarrassed grin. She gets an answering grin from
Cordelia. "I am eating for two after all."
"You're pregnant?" from Faith. "Who is the dad? I thought Wolfy left."
"No, it isn't that." Buffy reassures Faith. "I can only feed from Willow, which means she
has to eat more."
"It can be a real pain sometimes." agrees Cordelia. "Except when it's ice-cream."
"So, B, are we five by five?" asks Faith.
"I will think about it." is the response. "Where did you get 'five by five' from any way?"
"I heard it in a movie I saw as a kid." explains Faith. "It was called Fail Safe."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
That night Buffy and Faith swap slayer stories while Willow listens. Finally Buffy joins
Willow in the bedroom while Faith gets the couch.
Faith wakes in the night and, with slayer hearing, listens to Buffy and Willow make love.
She gets a tear in her eye as she thinks about what might have been.
When they wake they find coffee prepared by Phantom Dennis.
"Thanks Dennis." says Willow.
They eat breakfast, then head over to Angel's.
"What are your plans?" Angel asks the partners.
"I thought we would visit my father this evening." replies Buffy. "He doesn't know about
me and Willow."
"Why don't you call him now?" asks Cordelia. "It would be a waste of time if he wasn't
home when you got there."
"He never gave me his work number." replies the Slayer Vampire.
They spend the day helping Angel with a case involving a demon, a young girl and some
stale grahm crackers. At about seven P.M. Buffy calls Hank Summers.
"Hi Dad..... Yeah I was in town and thought I should call..... Dinner, great! Uhm, I am
not alone..... It's complicated, we better explain when we get there." Buffy looks at
Willow. "We are invited to dinner."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Later they knock on Hank Summers' front door.
"Buffy, come on in." he says. "Who is your friend?"
"Dad, this is Willow." Buffy introduces.
"Hi, Mr. Summers." smiles the red-head.
"And she is my wife, as well as my friend." continues Buffy, putting her arm around her
partners waist.
"Wife!" Hank exclaims. "When did this happen?"
"A couple of months, I think." responds Buffy.
"Two months and three days." says Willow. "The happiest day of my life."
"Well... this is a surprise!" responds the man. "I thought you liked boys."
"I did. But I love Willow." she smiles at her partner.
"Well I guess you know what you want." shrugs Hank. He changes the subject. "How well do
you know that Angel fellow." He points to a small box next to his phone. "Caller ID." he
explains.
"He used to Buffy's boy friend." answers Willow. "He is still a good friend."
"We know all about him." Summers explains." He is a vampire, but you, as the slayer,
should know that."
"You know about the slayer?" Buffy asks. "Why didn't you ever say anything?"
"My bosses didn't want me to." he replies.
"Who are these bosses?" asks Buffy. "I know you are a lawyer, but you never said who you
worked for."
"Wolfram & Hart." comes the surprising answer. "That vampire you killed when you torched
the gym was one of our clients."
"He also tried to kill me!" snarled Buffy. "And a lot of other people."
"Well, that's in the past. We could make room for you at W&H." he offers. "Working for us
has got to pay better than being the slayer."
"I am not the slayer any more. Not for the last two months and three days."
"What happened two months ago?" inquired Summers. "The slayer can only retire by dying."
"Yeah, well two months ago I did!" responds Buffy, vamping out. "Because the vampire who
turned me wanted to go after Willow, I staked him."
He opens his mouth to say something when the phone rings. He answers, then hands the phone
to Buffy. "It's for you, someone named Wesley."
"Hi Wes.... They did what!.. We will be right over." She looks at Willow. "Cordelia has
been kidnapped by Wolfram and Hart's goons." She looks at her father. "Do you know
anything about this?"
"Angel has been a thorn in our sides for to long." responds Summers. "I am sorry about
your friend, but we need her to get him."
"Where are they taking her?" demands his daughter.
"That is none of your business!" insists Summers. "That is the business of Wolfram and
Hart, not some soulless demon that wears my daughters face."
"She does so have a soul!" says Willow. "You are the one who sold his. Now where is
Cordelia."
Summers keeps his mouth shut. Willow pours a glass of wine and murmurs 'In Vino Veritas'
over it. She then, with Buffy's help, makes him drink it.
"Now tell me, Where Is Cordelia?" demands Willow.
"They are taking her to the park." he answers reluctantly.
"Why did they take her?" asks Buffy.
"The spell calls for the blood of a mortal close to Angel." he answers.
"Goodbye, father." says Buffy. "Do forget to write."
"By the way." Willow adds at the door. "That truth spell is permanent. You will not be
able to lie ever again, not even to yourself."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
They meet the others at the agency and head over to the park.
When they get there they find they are to late, the spell has been cast by a demon wearing
a mask.
A large hellcat is sitting in a pentagram, growling.
As they walk up Linsey speaks up. "Hello, Slayer. Join us or die with your friends."
"Been there, done that." snorts Buffy. "Can't the bad guys come up with new threats?"
The demon makes a last pass, releasing the cat. It walks up to Angel sniffs him over, then
rubs against him purring. Angel looking surprised, scratches the cat's head.
"What is going on here?" demands Lilah. "Why isn't it killing him?"
"Because." says Willow. "The spell calls for the blood of a mortal, and you used the blood
of an immortal."
They all look at Cordelia who is sitting up now that Buffy has untied her. The cat bounds
over and starts rubbing its head against her.
Lee looks at the demon. "I thought you bled her to death."
"That amount of blood should have." responds the demon. "Unless she isn't mortal."
"Beautiful, and can act too." says Cordy smirking.
"Get them!" Linsey yells to the vamps surrounding them.
Two pissed off vampires, an angry witch and one hellcat against 10 vampires and a maggot
nosed demon. Our friends whomp them good.
The lawyers from W&H leave during the fight.
When they reach the street the cat demonstrates a new talent. The cat turns into a small
car, a convertible. The rumble of the engine sounds a lot like the cat's bass purr.
She looks at Angel. "Can we keep him?"
"Well, I guess we can afford a car, er cat after all." admits Angel. "What does it eat?"
"It eats rats." Wesely responds. "No problem in a city this size."
"Are you sure it won't eat people?" asks Buffy.
"Yes." is the immediate response. "It is smart enough to know that would upset his
people."
"Have you decided what you are going to call him?" asks Willow.
"Jag I think." Cordelia answers. "Short for Jaguar."
Jag turns back into his cat form and they go inside.
Sitting in the office waiting for them is Hank Summers.
"Hello father." greets Buffy. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to apologise." he answers. "To you and your Lady." He bowed to Willow. "I put my
career ahead of my family, and told myself it was for them. I sold my soul and now I want
to buy it back."
"Well, this is the place to start over." says Faith. "If Angel will trust me, he will
trust anyone who means it."
"Do you need a good lawyer?" Hank asks Angel. "I should be able to keep W&H off your back,
some of the time anyway."
"I will think about it." answers the vampire. "Why the change of heart?"
"She casts a mean truth spell." Hank says pointing at Willow. "I can't even lie to myself
anymore."
"We will give it a try then." says Angel.
"Good!" says Hank. "Buffy, Willow, would you like to stay with me while you remain in
town? I would like to get to know my Daughter-in-law."
Buffy hugs her father and the three leave together.
