AN: I don't own BTVS. If you have read my other story, than I hope you like this one as well. I will update that one soon. AU season 4 from the end of 'the I in Team' on.
A young brunette was staring up at the blinding white ceiling above her, when the door to her room swished open. She immediately clicked her heels together, put her left fist along the seam of the standard issue camouflage pants, and her right hand went straight out with the end of her middle finger touching the end of her eyebrow. Entering, a tall part demon, part human, and part machine smirked at the appearance of the little girl who looked no older than a ten year old.
"I am your new commander and you will follow all my orders. Understood?" The tall monster ordered putting the question there as a precaution.
"Aye, aye, Sir." The young girl stated emotionlessly lowering her right hand to copy her left.
"Sir will not do when addressing me so just call me Brother." Adam told the little girl, and then decided that he should know the name Mother gave her as well. He asked, "So what is it that Mother called you?"
"Brother, I don't know of any mother but I was designated Lilith." Lilith responded with the tone of the good soldier she was trained to be.
"I see now. Any matter, grab your weapons and come with me now. We are going to see the outside." Adam said with a sadistic smile.
Lilith snapped into action grapping the all black arm blades. The black straps ran the length of her arm and the blades extending an arm's length. They left escaping through tunnel 72 and heading out into the night life. Having walked for hours, the sun was coming up. Adam had taken in the world around them with a curious fascination while Lilith had only looked for threats and remained stoic. During their continued walk, they came across a small boy playing with his toys. He looked up at Adam with an excited smile as he had never seen a real monster before. Adam had looked at the boy with curiosity and decided that maybe this boy could give him some answers.
"What am I?" Adam asked with a strange look on his face.
"You're a monster." The little boy said simply.
"Then what are you?" Adam asked again feeling a little disappointed that the boy was not giving her the answers he wanted.
"I'm a boy." He answered again not feeling threatened by the monster with the little girl next to him.
"How do you function?" Adam asked his last question.
"I don't know I just do." The boy answered honestly.
Adam turned to Lilith stating, "This boy is not giving me the answers I want and I want to see how he functions. What do you think we should do, Lilith?"
"If he holds the answers you want then you should get them out of him, Brother." Lilith said responding to the information she was given to determine the action they should take.
"I believe you are right." Adam said extending the skewer from his arm.
He turned to the now frightened boy and stabbed him in the chest. Adam took his skewer and sliced up the body looking for his answers. Lilith looked on and was unaffected at the brutality that Adam showed in dismantling the boy. After Adam was done, they continued on but quickly Adam became bored of the world and missed home. They had entered into the archives room and killing a guard. Adam had watched the scene waiting for the best moment to interrupt. Seeing his opportunity, he started a spiel about himself and how he was better than any of them. Buffy had remained focused on the little girl that stood on the platform at attention. When Adam and Riley began their disagreement, Buffy turned to what she thought was the real threat. The battle started when Adam knocked away Riley's Sig Sauer 226 pistol, Lilith jumped into the fight not needing to be told to.
Lilith went straight at Riley. She kicked him in the stomach making him bend over in pain and a little shock. Straightened, he realized that this was no regular ten year old. Lilith kicked his knee out and stabbed him in the stomach. Buffy realizing that Riley was down went over to the little girl and hit her in the head with her right fist. This caused the young girl to stumble but returned with an arm strike to her midsection and a kicked to the knee. Adam had successfully killed his last doctor and wanted to get out of there for now.
With Initiative guards entering the room, Adam ordered Lilith to come on. They ran and got a little ahead of the soldiers when Adam stopped and told Lilith to kill their pursuers. Nodding her head in an affirmation, she stopped and waited. The soldiers had circled around her wanting to take her back alive, knowing the scientist would be interested in taking her apart. Lilith raised the blades straight out and twirled taking out the ones grouped in a circle around her. This left on three other who began firing in a panic not focused on aiming. Ducking and moving fast, she completely took off the legs of a soldier and used him as a shield until the bullets stopped. Lilith jumped over the human shield and impaled the next one. She used the next jumps momentum and sliced down the last guard. With all dead and her visual assessment of the flesh wound the bullets caused, Lilith ran to rejoin her commander.
AN: I know this is short but the next chapter will be longer so please tell me what you think and for those who don't know what 'Aye, aye' means it's a military term meaning 'I understand and will obey'.
