Giles was confused at how to tell someone who thought they had been asked on a date that he needed them to teach the next generation of demon slayers.
"Charlene?" he interrupted her story "are you willing to help me with something important"
"I suppose"
"I need you to help fight demons"
"I dont understand"
"There are these people called Slayers and they fight them, but I need people to train them and use book knowledge of demons"
"Will you teach me how to fight"
Spike hated that people couldn't justify bringing a chained up girl covered in blood onto a plane in the middle of the night.
Couldn't others understand bringing super vamp to a cage, now they had to bring Buffy on a boat back to LA.
The trip to LA was terrible but once they got there the cage had been filled.
Buffy didn't like being restrained, the cage was made with thick five inch metal bars running horizontal and vertical an inch apart it was suspended into the air above crosses imprinted on the floor below. The floor was wet with holy water and Buffy had no shoes
The scoobies had dealt with powerful vampires and this cage could hold a vampire twice as powerful as the worst they've seen.
Angel and Spike didn't know it yet, but Buffy was three times as strong and four times as evil.
