I slowly got to my feet, feeling more focused than I had before. That little adventure with Wes had helped me more than he'd ever know. You'd think that the Senior Partners would have given me some kind of instruction booklet on how to use these powers that they'd given me. At the moment it was trial and error ( Read more... )

I don't know what I was expecting when I was taken up to the top office. But it wasn't this.

When the chair spun around and I found myself facing Lindsey MacDonald, looking like the cat that ate the proverbial canary, safe to say I was a little shocked.

"Nice to see you again Lilah."

Attempting to recover my composure I merely nodded, croaking out a "Lindsey." in response. I tried not to wince and touch my throat again. I couldn't afford to show any more weakness. Not now. Lindsey knew me, probably more than anyone save Wesley. I would have to be careful around him, especially now that he'd obviously got the plum job he'd always aspired to.

"Eve, could you give us a few minutes? We have quite a bit to discuss, then you and I need to have a chat."

That at least perked me up. Eve had done some damage, hurt me in ways that weren't just physical. I wasn't about to forget that. Payback would be a bitch. But I didn't yet know how she related to Lindsey. If she was his new best buddy I'd have to rethink things.

I waited until Eve left the room before I got up, coming around the desk. "Why don't you have a seat? I know you've had one hell of a day." Lilah sat down and I could see she was in quite a bit of pain. If we were going to talk at all, I needed to see what I could do about her throat.

"Didn't expect to see me in charge, did you?" I grinned. Stepped closer and reached my hand out, holding it a couple inches from her neck. "You weren't the only one brought back from the dead. But when I was brought back, the Partners and I had a little talk. I'm a whole new man now. How does it feel to be in the same room as a Senior Partner?"

Studied the bruises on her neck. "Sorry about your neck. Hellspawn can be rather agressive. Hold still." My hand started to glow and she gasped. I touched her throat and worked on healing it in the same way I'd patched up Wes' head wound. Channeled energy until the bruises faded. "Is that better?"

"Why don't you have a seat? I know you've had one hell of a day."

I sat down gingerly, my body protesting at the movement. Stupid lungs needing to breathe. Being alive sucked when you were in pain. My mind was still reeling, trying to process everything that had happened since I'd been let out of my cell.

"Didn't expect to see me in charge, did you? You weren't the only one brought back from the dead. But when I was brought back, the Partners and I had a little talk. I'm a whole new man now. How does it feel to be in the same room as a Senior Partner?" I tried not to flinch back when he reached his hand out towards my neck. For a second I'd thought he was going to grab me there like Eve had ( ... )

I stepped back, looking her over. She was still in pain. I should probably do something about that too. It's hard for people to concentrate when pain is distracting them. Walked over to the bar and poured Lilah a large glass of whiskey before coming back over. "I think you might need this." She took it from me and her hands shook a little ( ... )
