She's covered in blood and grime, tired and sore and wanting nothing more than a hot bath.

But Nick's door is on her way, and she pauses in front of it for a second, then knocks.

"Nick?"

Nick comes to the door and blinks for just a second...before he breathes.

Then his eyes are wide open as he stares at Faith.

"What...oh god, Faith...I'm glad you're all right."

[faithful_slayer]

Faith smiles, tiredly.

"Hey. None of the blood's mine. Cuthbert...'Bert got shot in the chest, and there were explosions and lots of badness, but...I'm not hurt. Not so much as a bruise. I...thought you'd want to know."

He nods and ushers her inside. Alex looks up from his book, eyes wide, but he doesn't say anything, choosing instead to bolster Nick through their bond.

He's well aware, as almost anyone within the same zip code would be, that Nick's freaking.

Nick for his part pulls Faith to him, uncaring for his clothes, and kisses her cheek.

"So glad you're okay."

[faithful_slayer]

Faith waves at Alex and blows him a kiss over Nick's shoulder, then puts her arms around Nick, hugging him tightly.

"We won, Nick. We got...all those kids. Some of them...didn't make it, but...we got most of them out. We did it. We kicked ass."
