Time Spin

Raya and Faith walked hand in hand into the library, stopping she scanned the table until she saw two empty chairs; leading her wife to them she pulled out one for Faith and sat down in the other.



The library itself was massive, with a long narrow table that ran down the center of the room. It reminded Raya of the tables at the University.



Smiling pleasantly at her friends she looked over and frowned slightly at the stress and fear she felt and smelled coming off the summers in waves. Dawn sat beside Buffy, holding he hand and they were speaking in low tones.



Never one to be to nosy she didn’t eavesdrop. Instead she looked over to Faith when her wife handed her a small paper that was being passed around the group.



Taking it she looked down and read.



************************************



Faith read and reread the paper, confused more than anything she wanted to make sure she wasn’t missing anything. Although she barely understood what this was.



“Okay guys” Faith looked up when Red stood and looked nervously at Giles. “Well…turns out that Tyrell is more than just a power hungry skin walker…we umm…did some digging and found a lot of events and supernatural activity in the last two years ties back to him one way or another.



Pretty much…he’s going in the whole ‘Take over the World’ approach…only he’s being smart bout it cause well…he’s opening it in this area, we know that for sure if the growth in demon activity shows it but with the amount of natural magic in this area…Tyrell Courtier is going to have power over a hell mouth more stronger than the one in Sunny Dale.”



Faith stiffened at that news, she liked it here…she didn’t want to live on another Hell Mouth…for lots of reason but seriously who WILLINGLY lives on a hell mouth. ‘Oh yeah…we do.” She thought sarcastically.



“So what does he need Jaeger for?” Dawn asked. Faith looked up. ‘Jaeger?’ Looking around she spotted Lonnie, which was unusual because with Axel at her house. Who was watching Jaeger?



“What happened?” Faith asked, everyone looked at her sharply. “Did something happen to Jaeger?” Okay why was everyone looking at her like she killed the family puppy? “What?”



“Tyrell took her Faith.” Dawn said softly.



“WOAH…WHAT?” Faith looked around the table. How did she miss this? “When?”



“Night before last.” Dawnie told her.



Dammit where do these guys come from? And seriously taking over the world? Not the best idea cause most of the time that went hand in hand with destroying it…what was the point to take over if there was going to be nothing to take over? ‘Stupid fuckers’ faith thought.



Looking down at the paper she read it, it was basically an overview of what this guy was who he was…stuff she already knew. Looking back up she saw Giles stand.



“First things first, what we DO know is he needs Jaeger to find the location for his hell mouth. He wants Ryan and Remy dead. He is teamed up with the Initiative. And we have gotten no further information from Riley.



What we DON’T know is…where he is, what will kill him…again.” Giles sighed and studied the group. “We need to find him people. We haven’t come across many demons or creatures that have taken us by surprise this way. And the fact that he has Jaeger and is coming after more of our family…everything else is put on back burner until we find them. Is that clear?”



Everyone nodded and Giles turned and began unloading books onto the table. “These are everything we have on hell mouths and the rituals surrounding them As well as anything on supernatural happenings in the area.” Giles looked up when Willow cleared her throat and stood.



“Something else we need to look for is the Protector. When I was in the little vision thing Jaeger told me to look for the Protector. Now…the only thing I could find was this. ‘And he who shall rise again is blocked from death by any weapon, only his blood carries the death blow’…yeah…don’t know what it means.”



Willow sat down wearily and glanced over at Buffy. The slayer looked exhausted; looking over to Lonnie she decided the cavewoman looked worse.



‘Goddess I cant wait to beat this one to a pulp’ Willow thought angrily, trying to pay attention as Giles explained to them the more likely places to look for Jaeger.



***************************************



Jaeger sat in the pool room of the tiger’s large house. The soldiers as always were watching her closely. Eventually after getting tired of splashing her feet in the water she looked up at the one that pointed a gun at her.



Smiling sweetly she saw annoyance flash in his eyes. ‘HA…even if I can’t talk I still can annoy him.” Straightening she turned as much as she could with her hands tied to the pool railing and began humming the tune to ‘My Heart Will Go On’…even the song annoyed her.



But it was soooo worth it to see the guard grip his gun tighter and his face turn purple. She knew he couldn’t actually shoot her and for some reason he seemed to think seeing him point it at her scared her? Like she couldn’t see that the safety was on.



Sighing in annoyance she tried to think of another song she knew…this would be SO much more fun without the tape on. Stiffening she tried to shut her eyes against the familiar feeling of an incoming vision.



Turning her head away she took deep breaths, watching the scene unroll in front of her.



Ryan, standing in an empty field, the image flickered and suddenly it was the battle field. Watching Ryan she saw the tiger was smiling and holding out her arms, palms up. She saw as a green mist seemed to come from Ryan. Blinking in confusion she watched as the mist gathered into a cloud and suddenly there was the Bad Man, Jaeger sucked in a breathe when the mist slammed into the mans body.



Frowning in confusion, she took a deep breathe as the vision ended. Coughing softly she realized it was harder to do with tape over her mouth. Blinking her vision cleared, that was a weird one.



***************************



Remy lay on the top bunk in the room he shared with David. He struggled to remember the life he had before the one with Ryan traveling around the world, always one step ahead whatever they were running from, the clan, the initiative. Sometimes they ran from nothing…



It hadn’t been easy once Ryan got sick. There were times when they would be holed up in the truck for days until she was well enough to drive. When they had come to New York earlier that year they had only meant to stay long enough to save money and head to Canada. But now…they had a family. Ryan was happy for the first time…Remy knew he was too. They had a family finally.



And now there Father was back from the dead…he had always thought that it would happen but more as a fear…not like ACTUALLY going to happen.



Turning his head he watched as David walked in, pulled off his shirt and started rifling through the clothes on the floor for a new one. Remy smiled, he had noticed David seemed to change two to three times a day.



Looking at his friends back, that didn’t have scars on it…Remy turned away. The ONLY thing he remembered was his father flying at him in a blind rage, his claws cutting his skin right before Ryan bit him and then killed him.



And now here he was…and he had attacked there new family. Looking down at his hands he watched patiently as a cut he had gotten from climbing the tree outside was healing together at this very moment.



He still obeyed the rules Ryan laid out, never draw attention to yourself, if you’re different from those around you don’t act it, if you’re in your fur and your caught don’t change back until you are safe from possible harm.



Those rules had kept them going and alive for the last five years. Sitting up when the cut was nothing more than a pink scar he swung his legs over and jumped down.



******************************



Lonnie sat in there living room carefully playing with Axel; she smiled as he giggled and stood up and toddled over to her. Picking him up he squealed and kicked his legs wildly.



Setting him down Lonnie watched as he walked over to the play box and pulled out a red ball. Turning he laughed and rolled it to her. Standing she watched him look around…she knew he was looking for Jaeger…they always played with this ball.



Holding back fresh tears she called out to him and rolled the ball back.
