At the Opening to the Sewers, Saturday Afternoon

After checking his voicemail and finding a call from Mel, Xander made the lamest - and sadly most believable - excuse ever, to ditch his mom back at his apartment: going out for doughnuts.

Then he made some calls. To some people. Who'd already gotten some calls of their own. And then he waited.

Willow came up, carrying a bag of various anti-vampire materials. "You know, the people we care about need to stop having relationships with vampires. Sure, some of them aren't so bad but really it has yet to end out snuggly."

"What is it with Spike?" Willow asked. "He seems to be pretty popular with the various forms of us. Which I guess means he's not snacking on anyone so yay for that? Maybe?"

"You're still dating Bridge, Xander," Willow reminded him.

"I'm just saying there are things not to say in places where boyfriends have ears," Willow replied. Which is why she kept her opinions of the relative attractiveness of vampires they knew to herself.

"I thought it was the arm-having," Willow teased.

"Details can stop now."

Willow gasped. "That wasn't a hallucination? You can come stay at my place."

Old instincts about such matters died hard.

"I could do a spell?" Willow suggested. Not that she knew what kind would help in this situation, but she wanted to offer her services if Xander needed them.

"Good point," Willow admitted. "Especially given their trick of being able to make a case of Sam Adams disappear."

It was a good thing Zuko had actually picked up the telephone this time so he came stomping over to the meeting point, quietly grumbling about insane not-girlfriends.

Dawn was prepared, if worried, plus she kept glancing backwards over her shoulder, as if expecting Buffy to show up at any moment. Hey, it kept her mind off the fact that Harth had kidnapped and tortured her, not to mention concussions and arm breakage. "Mel can handle herself. Yup. Um. Can we go?"

"I'm not going to be that kind of Watcher," she said, clutching her stake tightly. "No matter what."

"I don't want this to become the bad parts of Sunnydale," she told him, equally quietly. "And Mel shouldn't be alone."

"So. Ready for this to suck?" She couldn't help thinking it was suddenly feeling an awful lot like May.

The side of her mouth quirked up. "No, kinda not."

Sam was right behind Dawn, not willing to let her get involved in this without being at her side.

After talking to Xander, Dawn very quietly walked over to stand next to Sam, reaching for his hand, but not letting her weapons down. She just needed to borrow his strength for a few minutes, that was all.

Sam was more than happy to share strength, and gave Dawn's hand a gentle squeeze. "Are you going to be okay?" he asked. He wasn't going to tell her not to go, as much as he might have been thinking it.

"Tougher than I look," she squeezed his hand back, trying to sound more confident than she felt.

"You totally are. And I've got your back, all the way," Sam promised. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

Sam gave her a quick grin. "I feel safer already."

"That's sweet. A big, honking lie, but sweet." She kissed him on the cheek. "Remember, wood and decapitation, not bullets. Won't work."
likethegun: (i'm smug and satisfied)

"I know," Sam said, but he appreciated the reminder nonetheless. "You've taught me well."

"Dork," she said fondly.

"Your dork," Sam corrected her.

"Yup." She laid her head against his arm. "All mine."

Bridge is here and he's got his sword. He's left the sidearm at home since he knows from experience that the sword will work better.

"This way (http://cantjossme.livejournal.com/25632.html), guys," Bridge says, having picked up Mel's trail.
