Chapter 5: Old Acquaintances , Not Forgotten
9 a.m. Shifting Dreams, 3 days later
Xander was sitting beside Dawn as they worked on their latest project. Both of them had been told by the Oracles that they were going to be getting additions to their family and that one of them was ill. So Xander and Dawn had spent most of the morning brewing and creating new spells to help the ill shifter that was coming to live with them. None of them were quite sure who the new members of their family were going to be. All they knew was that the Powers had already arranged it so that Jean-Claude and Richard knew that they were coming and were out of their realm of control.
Xander and Dawn looked up as the soft silver glow filled the store room, signalling the arrival of the Oracles and their new family members. When the group coalesced into being, Xander and Dawn both surged to their feet, a look of pleasure and excitment on their faces. The Oracles smirked ne ane another before disappearing without a word.
The moment that the two Infinite beings had disappeared both Dawn and Xander were running across the room and pulling the two arrivals into their arms.
"Spike!"
"Oz!"
The two men were shocked by their greeting and heartened by the way that the two younger people reacted to their coming. Both of them had been nervous about what would happen once they arrived, but they had not ctedcted to be greeted so lovingly. "This is so cool!" Dawn squealed.
Xander laughed and the two changed places, each hugging the other man tightly. Spike gaped in astonishment as Xander stepped away from him. "So ya'll remember everything too, huh?" Dawn asked with a grin.
"Yeah, is Wills here?" Oz asked somewhat shyly. These two were so different from what he remembered.
"How about the others?" Spike asked.
"They're here, they are all working on various projects," Xander said before closing his eyes and summoning the others.
When they arrived, Spike and Oz were once again surprised by the way that they were greeted. All of them rushed forward, taking turns hugging each man and welcoming them home. Part of the reason for the easy greeting was the manipulations of the Powers. While they still remembered everything from ttherther time line, the petty rages and the resentments that they felt had been removed.
The new memories had Oz as a cousin of theirs, an orphan like them, who had been raised by Giles and Joyce. For the last few years he had been traveling the world with his lover, Spike. This was a reunion on two different fronts. It gave the Scoobies back their 'cousins', but it also returned Spike, who had died to protect them, and Oz, who they had honestly missed and worried about after he had left. Oz had not been changed by the spell that had changed the rest of the world, and as such his wolf was damaged and in need of help.
That was where the spell and the potion came in. As one, which seemed to be how they did any healing, Xander and Dawn turned away from the group and hurried over to their work table. Xander grabbed the potion and Dawn gathered the sheaf of paper containing the spell. They walked back to Oz and, with a smile, Xander handed him the potion. Oz gave him a look, but took the potion just the same. Dawn joined hands with Xander, and the others stepped away from the trio. Dawn closed her eyes and, drawing on the strength granted to her by Xander's touch, she began to chant the spell. As it finished, her eyes snapped open and seemed to glow with the arcane power flowing thh boh both herself and Xander. As the spell reached its peak, the group could almost feel the difference in Oz. The werewolf smiled at all of them as he felt the sentience of his beast for the first time in his entire existence as a were.
"Wow, Nibblet, you got the mojo going on," Spike said softly. This brought on a burst of laughter and soon words were flying and an impromtu party had started. Spike couldn't help but think that it was the same situation, just a different reason to celebrate. If there was one thing that the kids knew how to do well, besides stop the world from ending, it was party. This time, however, Spike didn't feel like an outsider. Instead, he was happily involved in all parts of the celebration.
Later, while they were enjoying the quiet, Xander spoke up. "Thank you, Spike." he said, surprising them all.
Spike looked at him in confusion. "For what?"
"For dying for us. For loving Buffy. For being there when we needed you, even when you weren't given credit for it. Thank you for never killing us, even though you could have, very easily. Just thanks," Xander told him with a warm smile.
The other Sunnydale natives smiled and echoed Xander's words. There had been plently of times that Spike could have turned against them. Despite his claims to the contrary and what they had all tried to assert, Spike was dangerous even with the chip. He could have had them killed or turned on them any number of times. Yes, he had sided with ADAM against them, but the truth was their treatment of him had led to that. If they had treated him better, he would never have turned on them. Though even in the end, he had helped to protect them from mon monsters in the Initiative's base.
Now that he and Oz were back with them there was no way that they were going to allow past mistakes to ruin what they had going on between them. This was a family and they were going to act like it. The rest of the evening was spent talking and exchanging information with one another. Both Oz and Spike were amused when they heard about the impression that they had all made on the locals already. Both men figured it was par for the course.
