[William does not know where he is. The room is not like his at home. It's sparse, undecorated, and none of his books are around. Instead, there are odd devices all around, some boxes and metal cans that smell like alcohol, and a strange box that's flashing with multicoloured lights and the sound of voices

[Little 6 year old Buffy is running around the hallway, trying to get the cape(red lacy nightgown) to fly behind her just right. She has a lot of energy! And she runs faster than she remembers! She's a real superhero! Buffy sees the boy walk out of his room and runs up to him, jumping and landing in front of him. She puts her hands on her hips and announces...]

Don't worry! Powergirl is here! [She smiles, then talks normally.] Hi! What's your name?

[William blinks and decides not to think too much about what that cape is when it's not around her neck.]

Er. William. Powergirl's not really your name, is it?

[He frowns and tilts his head. The girl's a few years younger than him and American and... well, she smells, really, really nice. William's never really noticed how people smell before. But something about this girl... Though seriously, Buffy? What sort of name is that?]

I do not. I speak the Queen's English, you know. It's you Americans who butcher it.

[vinkus_witch]

I'm not going to babysit you.

Assuming this is over the comms?

[breakmychest]

Who are you? How are you talking to me?
