Time Spin

Skye knew pregnancy could be a hassle…she remembered clearly the nightmare that was her mom when she had been pregnant…but she hadn’t really thought Ryan would get moody just yet. Boy was she wrong…now she had new sympathy for all those guys and her own mother.



One minute they’re all loving and sweet as anything and the next there like a rabid piranha…tonight…Ryan was the piranha. Skye had been fast to sleep when shed woken up to Ryan shaking her shoulder saying she wanted fish sticks and jelly so after unwisely asking why she just didn’t go get it Skye was now downstairs, arms laden with food. Serious she didn’t get it…tentatively picking up the food so she wouldn’t have to make more than one trip she turned and nearly dropped the food when she saw her mother standing there, smiling at her crookedly.



“You have GOT to stop doing that…you just fucking appear outa nowhere ALL the time.” Skye whispered sharply, causing her mother to smile wider.



“Midnight cravings already?” Ryan asked eyeing the strange variety of food Skye had laid out.



“Yep, first its fish sticks but I know shell want the bananas and if she has the bananas she’s going to have to have the pickles and peanut butter.” Skye said as she rolled her eyes, Raya just laughed.



“Well kid, should a been more careful if you didn’t want to knock kitty cat up. Here let me help you” Raya said softly, taking a portion of the food. “Just make sure this is cleaned up before morning or your mom will have a fit”



“I know”



The pair walked up to Skye’s room, and after a minute or two trying to figure out how to knock on the door much less open it when there arms were full, Garrett sleepily walked out of his room to the bathroom.



“Gar’ open the door kiddo” Raya said quietly, rubbing his eyes tiredly he reached over and turned the knob. “Thanks little man” Raya said, smiling down at her boy, it was amazing how they all looked just like Faith when they were tired.



Stepping in Raya saw Ryan sitting on the bed watching TV, the girl wasn’t showing yet but the fact that she was pregnant was obvious to them, when a woman became pregnant her scent changed…became sweeter.



Setting down her armload she leaned over and kissed Sykes cheek and nodded at the tiger before leaving the two alone. She held back a sympathetic smile when she heard Ryan ask where the milk duds were.

Coop sat on the hood of the Watchers car, watching the entry gate waiting for Sasha and Buffy to return. She didn’t really feel like hanging out in the midst of demons…wasn’t really her forte more Sasha’s. It had been more than an hour since the pair were due back from there little recon mission at the facility.



‘Should have gone with them’….Buffy wasn’t answering her cell phone which wasn’t too odd, those facilities tended to have scrambling devices that killed any outside equipment. Taking a drag off her cigarette she stood stiffly on the ground and stretched. Looking up into the sky she wished she could go flying, there simply weren’t nights like this in Olympus. Yes all that crap was real, they were simply in a different plain that’s only entrance to this one was on the Greeks mountain.



Looking toward her sisters demons she sighed sadly, it had been almost a thousand years since Sasha had been banished to the underworld and had taken over as there master, smiling at the memory of how she had overpowered uncle Hades…THAT had been quite the stir. She still believed Zeus had gone a LITTLE overboard with the punishment…after all Sasha didn’t MEAN to sink Atlantis. She was a young mischief hell god…shit happens.



Turning back to the gate she tried not to worry, after all there was only so much that could happen to the pair.



Of course while they were here they could be killed…and the slayer WAS a human…okay stop it before you get your feathers ruffled. Glancing behind her she grimaced when she saw that had already happened.



“You smoke?” Coop jumped and whirled around when she heard a voice ask her, Kennedy. The slayer was standing closer to her than shed thought. Turning back hesitantly she nodded.



“Want one?” Coop asked, praying she would say no. This little addiction didn’t rear its head until she set foot on earth. Pleased when the girl shook her head, she moved over giving the slayer room to stand beside her and gate watch.



“So…what DO you do exactly?” Kennedy asked, at Coops confused look “I mean your Cupid but are you really in charge of making people fall in love or whatever? And are all those Gods real?”



“You ask a lot of questions” Coop said simply and smiled down at the slayer, ‘she looks like Psyche’ Coop thought of her wife back home…she hadn’t been pleased with this newest venture. But honestly Sasha WAS her responsibility.



“I just want to know.” Kennedy snapped, shifting uncomfortably under the alleged Gods gaze. “I mean for all we know you could be some sort of demon or something.”



“Your lucky im not Mars” Coop said humoringly,”First off the Romans named me there love God, and yes I am the Goddess of love. Mother has the control in that position…I just do the foot work.”



“Yeah right…what do you do? Go around shooting people in the ass and poof they’re in love with the next person they see?” Kennedy brattily asked this, Coop quickly got annoyed, true it was many centuries since she had had the same influence on mortals but that didn’t give this one right to be such a…brat.



“Would you like a demonstration?” Coop asked mischievously. “I don’t like to waste my arrows, they’re hard to make and take a long time. But I have something close.”



“Bring it on birdie” Kennedy said cockily. Okay so she was a little nervous about that gleam in the blonde woman’s eyes but seriously, they were trusting complete strangers. Okay what is she doing…she’s…her hand is glowing.



Stepping back Kennedy stared down at the glowing limb, Coop cocked her head to the side and looked at her questionably “You sure?” the way she said that grated on Kennedys nerves, it was like she was daring her, meeting her eyes she seriously questioned the wisdom in this but hey it was love. How bad could it be?



Coop reached out and touched Kennedys heart ‘find her’ she whispered a second before Kennedys eyes widened and she slumped to the ground unconscious. Sighing she crouched down and picked the slayer up, walking to Horus’s home where she was staying.

Tyrell turned when his second stepped through the door, standing he watched as the mage walked to him and set down the large book. Turning it toward him he read the passage.



Smiling he looked up to the mage “We attack tomorrow at first dark.” Looking down he couldn’t help the almost giddy feeling over the fact that this time tomorrow he would become ruler of the world.



And finally kill off his brats



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



CLANG, Buffy winced again as metal met metal. “I don’t think that’s going to work Sasha.



She watched her friend sigh and steps back, watched her walk over to the weapons closet and study the weapons there. Sighing she leaned back against he wall and sat down; they had been here she guessed nearly four hours. Her watch had stopped working she didn’t know when.



“Hey slayer, look at this.” She heard Sasha say, turning she watched the blue woman walk over to her with an arrow. Sasha crouched down and handed it to Buffy, studying it there was nothing remarkable bout it just that it was made out of metal, looking closer she saw that the arrow head was hollow and when Sasha flipped a small switch at the base of the head a needle shot out.



“What is it?” Buffy asked, entranced by the simple mechanics of it. Sasha shrugged and looked back to the weapons closet.



“Well im not sure what the men use it for but I think this is how we can get Ryan’s blood INTO Tyrell without her risking her butt.” Sasha said



“This is ingenious” Buffy said, still staring at the arrow so when Sasha leaned in the kissed her she almost didn’t comprehend that it had happened.



She didn’t pull away, in fact it probably took Buffy almost a full minute to realize what was happening when she did she shoved Sasha off her “NO no BAD SASHA” Buffy said shaking her finger at the demon woman. ‘God this is Spike all over again...’ suddenly realizing how much she resembled someone punishing a dog she watched Sasha stand up and go sit at the opposite wall.



‘Why the HELL do evil things keep liking me?’
