Adam
[reviews]
I woke up to the ringing of my cell. I looked on the ID to see that it was Graham, so I climbed out of bed without waking the other two and took the call outside. Long story short, Professor Walsh made a Frankenstein-type demon/human hybrid, and it had killed her and the other creator, so my job was to help them track it, and I agreed since I once told Giles that kicking ass is comfort food.
I left Tara and Faith a note letting them know where I was going to be, so they didn't wig. I stopped off in my dorm room for a change and weapons. I grabbed a tranq gun, a few stakes and a dagger since I didn't know what kinds of demon Adam was made from, and before I left, I glanced over at Willow's bed.
I headed over to Lowell house hoping Graham has told the boys I'm helping because I don't really want any Riley repeats. The campus wasn't all that buzzing for a day classes were supposed to be in session. Maybe with Walsh's death, they cancelled them for today. Whatever, she didn't like me anyway. As I came up to the house, Graham and a few boys were waiting for me.
"Thanks for coming Buffy, come inside. We have plenty to go over," Graham said as we headed inside.
The meeting seemed to be more of a briefing with charts, diagrams and file folders. After this, I won't say Scooby meetings are boring, ever. While listening to the facts about Adam, I looked through the folder about what Adam was made of. The only demon I reconized was the Polgara, and the only reason for that is because I have been close to being skewered by its' poker that shoots from its' arm.
After splitting the boys into groups of three, Graham handed me a radio. He told me to call if I spotted Adam, and in no uncertain terms was I to engage unless absolutely necessary. I gave him my word because he wasn't who I was worried about if I ended up injured.
I sensed something strong in the caves near campus, so I headed up there because it would be a great place to hide. As I was heading that way, I checked my phone for missed calls, but I hadn't missed any, so I shut it off since I didn't want to announce my presence.
As I came up to the cave entrance, I felt a strong demon presence and a vampire. I let Graham know where I was, so I would have backup, if needed. I was going through the catacombs of the caves and the vibes were getting stronger, but the vampire was closer than the demon. I came to a fork in the cave, and when I headed left, I heard an unmistakeable voice.
"Where ya headin' Slayer?" Spike asked as I turned around brandishing a stake.
"So, this is where the neutered vampires hang out," I said watching Spike start to smile.
"Buffy, look out!!" Graham yelled out as I ended up face to face with Adam.
I tried to run, but he caught me by the arm. I tried to knock him off, but it was like hitting a wall, so I whipped the arm around holding the stake, but Adam stopped it and threw the stake at Spike, dusting him. I couldn't reach any of my other weapons while Graham was talking to Adam trying to distract him as he just stood there holding me by the arm.
"You hurt my brother, mother told me," Adam said before ripping my shoulder out of its's socket as the guys hit him with taser blasts that he just absorbed, but it did cause him to drop me as I ran towards Graham holding my arm.
One of the others helped me out of the cave as I told him to shoot me with the tranq gun before my adrenaline rush passed. He laid me down on the ground while removing the gun from its' holster as I nodded letting him know that it was okay. I felt the dart enter my body before everything went dark.
I woke up hearing beeping, and when I opened my eyes, I found my bed surrounded by my family, and Willow was sitting in a chair holding my hand as I noticed that my other arm was in a sling. I smiled knowing I'm probably in trouble for getting hurt, but I didn't care since I was tracking down something that could have hurt my family.
"They captured Adam, Buffy, but they aren't sure how to dismantle him. We'll come back later because you two need to talk," Giles said ushering the crew out as I turned towards Willow.
