A Supernatural Life: Clock Tower

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy moved down the stairs of her house, looking like she was rushing. She moved quickly into the dining room from the foyer and then into the kitchen. She grabbed up a apple and bite into it. She looked over to the clock and it read 11:21 AM. She knew that Mike was just going to be late even for this. Wyck and Willow are finally back, after losing Sara they both just had to leave. It was too much for them here, she's surprised they're even back here. In Medford, if she have the choice she wouldn't have came back. Though she's the Slayer, the original Guardian of the Hellmouth. She don't have that privilage, not if Medford is around.

She turned quickly moving for the foyer yet again, she's dressed in a white sweater with pink leather pants. A pair of white sneakers on her white heeled boots on her feet. She placed her hands on the one rail of the stairs and her other against the wall taking a step onto the first step she yelled out. "Dawn! Ten minutes! Move it." She sighed shaking her head and thinking she should have said two. She turned moving to the window in the living room. She looked out looking for Mike nothing, damnit.

They'll be faster walking, she turned noticing her crossbow is out it's chest. She moved to the wooden chest that Xander had made for her on her 23th birthday. She kneed down picking up the crossbow and rolled her eyes. "Dawn, you been playing with my crossbow again!" She yelled up using more saying behind the playing part. She opened the chest effortlessly and placed the crossbow back inside. She had slowed down on taking Dawn out with her to patrol, she know she promised to not treat her like a little girl anymore though things is getting a little crazy around her.

She just don't want Dawn to get hurt, she's just human...a little girl. Her little sister.

[Mike Morgan]

Mike walked in, his boots casually making their way nearly silently across the flooring. "No," he told Buffy, walking up behind her. The half-demon was slowly, determinedly wrapping a dirty-looking cloth around one of his hands tightly, "I was." He shrugged and offered her a half-smile before leaning against a wall and crossing his arms. Part of him still wasn't sure about being so near her and hunters and what have you, but still.

Rubbing thumb across the back of his loose jeans, Mike looped it into the back beltloop and shrugged, "So, when's she comin'?" A few little sparks danced across his fingers - that happened whenever Mike got a little impatient. He had been helping Buffy out, something that he normally wouldn't have done before he killed his father.

((Sorry, short.))

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy was trained to pick up on the most smallest of sounds, she quickly heard the sound of footsteps. Heavy and male. She could tell it was male from the movement, or a butched lesbian. Willow would kill if she made that comment. She still have to stop calling her 'Will' like that. Not that she's against the girl on girl. Sara's death was a shock to them all, just when her, Willow, and Wyck fixed things between them. It's sad, she just hoped the two will survive through it all.

She turned to face the approaching figure before she heard the no. She knew who it was and she let a smile come to her face. Mike, a half demon. He have been a lot of help when Wyck and Willow left. It's nice to have someone that can actually 'help her', she won't really admit that she needed help. She's the Slayer, she's the first slayer to ever have a gang. Maybe it is why she's the longest living slayer that have been called. Then there's Faith, though she's in jail.

With Spike...gone. She just..she don't want to face him right now. He tried to rape her, though he have a soul now. That he got for her and it was sweet yet...crazy. She dont' know how she feel for Spike, it's too soon. She looked to the chest and back to Mike. "Don't take you as the Crossbow type." She said still smiling at him before looking to the stairs and then back to him. "If we're lucky before hell freezes over and I'm pretty sure that's soon. I sense fun and painful fighting in the distance." She said with that sarcastic joking and all so serious tone of hers.

"You excited about seeing them? It's been a year. You think they done..change?" She asked moving to sit down and fighting the urge to go up there and pull Dawn down.

[Dawn Summers]

Dawn was busy trying to get on just the right clothes to wear for all of this. Wyck and Willow were coming home and that was just so great if you asked Dawn. They were the first two to treat her like a woman not just a little sister of the slayer. They cared about her and she did care about them a lot. It was so sad to see both of them go after Sara died. It was hard for Dawn to loose Sara as she became good friends with the woman and then to have Wyck and Willow leave just broke her heart. At least she could deal with it by helping Buffy out. At least her sister was still around and then there was the gang. The gang made a lot of things all right and Mike was okay she guessed.

She threw off the last top she was wearing wanting to appear like she had grown up a little in the time that they had been away. Dawn didn't think it would be this hard to get on just the right clothes for seeing her friends again. She picked up the first top that she had on and smiled at herself in the mirror. She still appeared young and hip but more grown up. That's what she was looking for. Dawn ran her brush through her hair and looked at the time. Buffy was so going to kill her for being late.

In a hurry Dawn rushed down the stairs and walked quickly into the room seeing Buffy and Mike were both ready. She gave both of them a bright smile. "Hey. I'm ready. Are you guys ready?" Dawn took a deep breath. "Do you think they are ready?" She twisted her hands a little bit. Dawn didn't want to bother Wyck or Willow but she had to see them.

[Mike Morgan]

He was glad that she wasn't asking what he had done to his hand. Truth was, washing ones hands when one controls electricity is really a trick. For ... a while ... he would avoid any and all contact with water, aside from drinking it. Let's just say he got pretty smelly. And no, Mike wasn't the crossbow type - far from it, in fact - but he just wanted to see what the weight of it was like. Is that so wrong? But maybe half-demons should avoid those ... or maybe he was being superstitious.

"Oh, fun and painful fighting I can handle," he smiled brighter, sparks moving from his fingers on one hand to the other and back before he put the injured hand back in his belt loop. Shifting as Buffy sat down, he shrugged, "Nah. Immortals don't change. That's their thing." Honestly, Mike wasn't sure what to expect. Aside from Dawn taking forever ... that was a given.

Once she finally did get down there, he shook his head at her. "About time," he commented, closing his hand and quitting the little show he had been putting on, "I mean really. Another second and I would've had to electrocute something."

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy finally noticed Mike's hand and blinked a few times. She wondered what happened to him, did some evil beasty hurt him? Is there a evil beastie that he's not telling her about. Hmm questions questions. "What happened to your hand?" She asked him with wonder as she looked at it and then up at him. She wondered what he wanted with her crossbow though, don't look like it's been cleaned. There's not blood, don't tell me he play with them too. Oh well, maybe he was practicing.

"No demonic powers in my house please and thank you. You know how many times Xander had to go all Carpentery around here because evil creepies kept bursting in?" She asked as she laughed a little and shook her head. She brushed her hair back and looked at him when he spoke about immortals. She sometimes forgot that her bestfriends are immortals. She shook her head a moment. "I meant personality wise though." She said looking up at him as she sat.

Buffy looked to the stairs heading Dawn coming down and looking quite grown up she might add. At least she stopped all the bright colors and mixing. She had a feeling Dawn was coming into herself, she's becoming a amazing woman. Buffy want to be there to see her grow even more. She rolled her eyes a little. "We been ready." She looked to Mike pointing a finger at him. "Hey remember our bad demonic powers talk? Do bad demon wanna met piss Slayer? Then no electrocuting the highly expensive furniture." She said as she got to her feet.

"Well they're back, Dawn. They have to be ready if they're back...or something serious wrong." She said turning to Mike for help here. "Which I'm sure there's nothing wrong. Right?"

[Dawn Summers]

Dawn looked to her sister and then back to Mike wondering what had been going on between them. Something had to be happening because they had look but it wasn't a gulity we were making out look. She had seen that look on Buffy before not knowing what it meant when she and Spike would kiss and such. Dawn wondered what they had been talking about and if they would let it show around Wyck and Willow, like they need any more stress. She looked back to Mike hearing him talk to her.

"Buffy when wouldn't let you. The poor house has already been abused enough." She smiled a little at him hoping it would cheer him up. Mike kind of creeped her out but he was part of the team so it was all good. Dawn looked to Buffy and rolled her eyes. Her sister was just so weird at times. "You've been ready?" She hung her head a little and then looked up smiling. At least she looked good.

Dawn hopped nothing was wrong, nothing could be wrong right. They would tell them if something was wrong. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly not sure if they would let them visit and be happy that they're back.
