After putting on series 5 of Buffy, I remembered Riley's in it. I was planning to have it set after 'The Replacement', but just imagine he's left already.
And I had a moment of bad memory, where I forgot whether Buffy is religious or not.
One of the two men was taller than the other one, his hair was brown and just below his ears and he was wearing some denim jeans and a red checkered top. He looked excited, but kept his face composed.
The other man, although the same colour hair, it was shorter and his eyes stood out; they were a piercing green and it was enough for anybody to give him the once over. He had a stern yet haggard expression on his face and was wearing simple clothes: a black top and jeans along with a worn brown leather coat. Around his neck was a pendant. It had a face of a god on and was gold. It was on a black leather band.
Anya rose from the table and walked behind the shop's counter, eager for the two men to make a purchase and spend money.
Dean looked at the woman behind the counter and smiled. Wow she's hot I wonder if she's Buffy? Dean thought.
Looking at Sam he then proceeded to walk over to the woman and pulled on his 100 watt grin, the one reserved for women who he fancied.
"Hi, I'm Dean and this is Sam," he said, gesturing to Sam. Dean leaned forward on the counter. "I was wondering if you knew a woman called Buffy?"
Buffy looked at the two men from where she was sat at the table. She glanced at her friends sat beside her, and then at the men again.
"Why is it you need Buffy?" Giles asked before Buffy had a chance to speak.
"Uhh," Dean started before being interrupted by Sam
"Top secret business, need to know only."
"Well if you're looking for me, then I kinda need to know," Buffy said from her place at the table.
"Ok, well is there somewhere more private we could talk?" Sam asked.
"Out the back," Buffy said, nodding towards the doorway that Giles was stood in.
"Thanks," Dean said, straightening up. Whilst passing Giles, Dean looked at him. I wonder if Bobby knows him?
Sam nodded at Giles. "We'll be finished in under 10 minutes".
Sam walked into the room where Buffy and Dean were.
Buffy leaned against the wall in the training room, looking at Sam and Dean.
Dean whistled. "You got some serious equipment in here."
Sam glared at his brother. "Quit flirting," he said, before turning to Buffy. "This is going to sound crazy but, a man called Castiel told us to come see you, he said something about demonic energy and demon deaths, know anything about it?"
"I may, but how do you know about demons?" Buffy asked, looking closer at Sam and Dean.
"We hunt them," Sam said
"Sam!" Dean said.
Buffy looked between the two of them. "You don't look much like you do."
"Well, baby, you don't exactly look like one much either, although you do remind me of a girl I know, she looks a lot like you; long blond hair, feisty with -"
"Dean, uh shut up, before you scare her," Sam cut in.
"Yes, they are to do with the reason we are here," Dean said, "but also because we've been given word that a lot more deaths are going to happen, and... are you religious?"
"Not really. Why d'you ask?" Buffy asked.
"Oh well at least you wont be all pissed that Lilith is breaking the 66 seals," Dean said.
"The what? Who's Lilith?" Buffy asked, confused.
"This should be good, I'll leave it to you genius," Dean said to Sam before leaving the room.
"Ever heard of the apocalypse?" he heard Sam say.
"Which one? We've kinda stopped the apocalypse a coupla times now."
"The big, main, biblical one, the one where demons go against angels."
"Yeah, I've heard of it. Why?"
"That's the apocalypse that will happen if Lilith breaks all the seals. And one is being broken here."
"What sort of seal?" Buffy asked.
"There's so many seals that we wont know until more omens happen, tell me where were all these demons found?"
Buffy looked up at Sam, looking at his face. "All over Sunnydale. But it's the Hellmouth that attracts them here. We should ask Giles."
"Hellmouth?" Sam said, a flash of worry in his eyes.
"You don't know about the Hellmouth? The big ol' mouth of hell," Buffy said.
"Well that's just fricken great, another entrance to hell."
"It's shut. And kinda hard to get to, considering the wreckage of the school is still above it."
"You blew up the entrance to hell?"
"No, we blew up the school. It was either that or get eaten by the Mayor."
"Well, that's probably the best choice."
"He'd kinda turned into a giant snake."
"That's a new supernatural creature on me."
"It is? What kind of Demons do you hunt?"
"Demons, Ghouls, Spirits,Ghosts, Vampires, Werewolves, occasionally dick headed Angels, basically any creature you've ever read in a myth book."
"Don't mention werewolves in front of Willow. She's the one with the ginger hair- You should probably meet the others."
Sam smiled.
"I won't and thanks, though my brother has probably hit on half of the others."
"I don't think it will have any affect on Willow and Tara," Buffy said, a small smile on her face.
She stood up straight and walked back into the front of the Magic Box.
Sam followed, and saw Dean leaning against the counter.
Buffy looked around at her friends.
"Sam, this is Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara and Willow," she said, motioning to each friend in turn.
"Ok, well as you know, I'm Sam, Sam Winchester and this is my older brother Dean," Sam said, gesturing to Dean who looked rather bored.
"Winchester?" Giles asked, looking at Sam.
"Yeah," Sam replied. "Why? Did you know John Winchester?"
"I've heard of him, but I ask because I wonder if you know Bobby Singer," Giles said.
"Yeah, we know Bobby Singer. Hell he's like a father to us, gets us out of more scrapes than Dean's had pies," Sam said.
"Hey!" Dean protested. "How do you know him?"
"He's assisted the council a couple of times," Giles said.
"Well how come we've never heard of you?" Dean asked.
"And what did he say?" Dean asked intrigued.
Giles hesitated before answering. "Only good things, I assure you."
"Good good," Dean said.
He turned around to face Sam but found someone was blocking him from doing so. Dean was about to tell the perpetrator to do one when he noticed who it was.
It was Cas.
ICas? Uh, not that I'm not thrilled to see you but, you know personal space."
Cas looked down at Dean for a minute as if surprised Dean was there.
"My apologies," he said after a brief pause.
"Castiel?" Anya asked from where she'd sat back at the table.
"You know him?" Xander asked looking first at Castiel, and then back at his girlfriend.
"Anya?" Castiel asked in disbelief, he was confused. What was Anya doing here?
"How exactly do you know each other?" Giles asked.
"Castiel and I go way back," Anya said.
"How exactly did you -puff- into here?" Buffy asked, looking at Castiel.
"I do not understand the term 'puff'. In what way did I act gaily?" Cas asked confused.
The Scoobies sat at the table tried not to show their smile.
"How did you get inside without using the entrances?" Giles asked, a hint of laughter in his usually serious voice.
"I used my wings to fly, I am Castiel an angel of the lord."
Everyone, apart from Sam, Dean and Anya, stared at Castiel.
"An angel?" Buffy asked.
"Yes, do you have a problem with my presence?"
"No. It's just kinda-" Buffy paused, thinking of the right word.
"Different?" Willow suggested.
"Yeah, different."
"Hey, lay off the angel," Dean said. "So Cas, why are you here?"
"Sorry," Buffy muttered, before looking at Castiel.
"Your apology is accepted," Castiel said. "Thank you."
"I am here because, I wanted to make sure you had found Buffy."
Buffy waved her hand slightly. "Yeah, they found me."
