Returning to AI with Buffy (actually Dru) in tow

Mar 26, 2004 15:32

It was only a short walk to the warehouse and Fred tried to fill most of the few minutes with small-talk about this and that. As they reached the warehouse Fred turned the knob and started to head inside saying over her shoulder (to Dru who she had mistaken for Buffy), "You know, you can stop by anytime. It's not like you needed to wait for one of ( Read more... )

Before stepping in I looked the outside of the building over. It wasnt a private residence...

"No,--no invitation needed..." I smiled to myself as Fred had already made her way inside. Finally stepping inside I shut the door behind myself, leaning on it for a while, feeling around for the doors lock. Once I got hold of it, I turned the lock slowly so as not to make too much noise.

The seer was...spinning around in circles in her chair. If it wasnt for her visions I wonder if she would have this job...

"Cordelia--long time no see." I grin cheerfully...almost giddy. "I'm playing a Slayer! Well, was...but I think I'm sick of that game..."

'Finally!!', I thought to myself.

"Fred, we gotta get to the hospital like--half an hour ago! It--it's Gunn...he had an accident but he's okay. Nicole and Dawn are there now and---"

She ran into a someone...? Odd time for guessing games.

It took a while for the room to stop spinning due to my ride in the office chairs. (I spun around in everyones seat and found out Fred's went the fastest...)

"Buffy?! Is it Buffy?!" The guest spoke...and my heart skipped a beat...or ten. Spinning room or not, I'd know that voice anywhere..."Drusilla--" I whispered, as my vision finally returned to its proper state.

Fred continued over to her desk, set the bag of food down and had started to remove soup containers and carefully wrapped sandwiches when Cordelia's words sunk in.

"Gunn? Accident?"

She rushed over to Cordelia. "Which hospital? What's happening?" So many questions were rushing through her head. She and Gunn weren't together anymore but her chest was starting to feel tight at the thought of him lying somewhere, hurt and alone. Then Buffy's(?) words sank in.

Playing slayer? Game?

She turned to watch the woman at the door.

I nod and bow my head slightly as Cordy spoke my name. "Nice to see I haven't gone unremembered."

"Gunn..." He was the one in the alley. "..in a hospital...poor dear. But I say he's better off then the two of you are, now isn't he?" I think that's as close to saying something reassuring I could get...

"Hospitals help people...keep them safe in their time off need. Kind of like what you lot do 'ere. So, what happens when the ones who usually DO the helping NEED the help?"

I locked my hands behind my back and took one more step forward.

What was going on? So... she wasn't Buffy? Fred had been too busy rustling the sack to hear Cordy's whispered revelation.

Still standing near Cordelia and still keeping her eyes on the advancing female Fred simply asked. "Cordy?"
