Sunnydale's Angels

Chapter 10: Visitation Rights

Guest Starring Jondy from Jondy of the X-Men

Summer's Residence

Syl slammed her hand down on her alarm clock for what seemed to be the hundredth time that morning. She slowly forced herself out of bed and looked over at Buffy, who was still sleeping.

"How is it that in the midst of the world falling apart, she can be so at peace with herself like this?" Syl wondered silently. It had been about a week since Gunn and his buddies had come to town.

Syl got dressed, and headed downstairs to get something to eat and some coffee. She found Joyce sitting at the table already.

"Hi mom." Syl greeted.

"Good morning Syl." Joyce replied, glanceing up from the morning paper. "You and Buffy were out late again last night."

"Yeah, sorry about that. We were only planning on being out until eleven." Syl said apologetically.

"You were out 'slaying' again, weren't you?" Joyce demanded. "You know that I don't like you two out there fighting those things. You should leave them for the cops."

"The cops don't know how to deal with them, and they don't have the strength that Buffy, Faith, Krit, and I do." Syl countered. "Please don't fight me on this, mom."

"I'm just worried about you is all." Joyce told her, and Syl walked over to give her a hug.

Buffy chose that moment to walk into the kitchen.

"Mmmmorning." She said drowsily. "What's for breakfast?"

"There's some eggs in the fridge, and I think there might be some bacon too." Joyce answered.

Buffy made her way over to the stove, and pulled the eggs and bacon out of the fridge, and put them into a pan. The phone rang, and Syl grabbed it off the hook.

"Yeah?" She said into the receiver. "Oh hey. What's going on? Uh…yeah, hold on."

Syl put her hand over the phone and turned to Buffy. "It's Gunn. He and Krit found a nest last night."

"Put him on speaker." Buffy asked, and Syl complied. "Where is it Gunn?"

"Corner of Brickson and Fern street." Came Gunn's reply over the speaker. "Do you want to move on this?"

"We scope it out before dusk, and move in on them tonight. I'll call Xander, Scott, Oz and Williow and let them know our plans."

"Okay, I'll have Brian, Kyle and Lisa scope it out." Gunn announced. "See you in an hour."

"Okay, we'll meet you at school." Syl told and hung up the phone.

"God, you guys make it sound like you're fighting a war here." Joyce said.

"Well, we kind of are." Buffy pointed out.

"Ugh. Don't remind me." Joyce muttered.

Almost as soon as Syl hung up, the phone rang again. She picked it up.

"Hello?" Syl said politely

There was no answer for a moment, then a female voice spoke. "Syl, is that you?"

"Who is this?" Syl asked, not recognizing the speaker. After a few seconds, her eyes widened.

"Jondy! No way!"

Five minutes earlier

Motel

Jondy opened the door to the local motel room that the Professor had booked for them for the duration of their stay in Sunnydale. Dropping her bag on one of the two beds in the room, she picked up the phone book. She skimmed through it quickly, looking for the Summer's number. After a few moments she found the number and dialed it. After only one ring, someone on the other end picked up the phone.

"Hello?" a female voice over the phone.

Jondy hesitated for a moment, trying to think of something to say. "Syl, is that you?"

"Who is this?" The voice demanded.

"Syl, its me. It's Jondy." Jondy told her. "I'm in Sunnydale for a few days, wanted to know if you wanted to meet up."

"Jondy! No way!" Syl exclaimed. Jondy hung her head, thinking that Syl didn't want to see her.

"Where are you right now?" Syl demanded. "Oh my god! Krit and Faith are gonna be surprised!"

"Krit and Faith are here too?" Jondy asked, and looked up as Lorna walked into the room that they were sharing.

"Yeah, so why are you in town?" Syl asked.

"You know about mutants, right?" Jondy asked.

"Besides us?" Syl inquired, perplexed.

"Yeah, there's people that are born with special abilities. I've been with a group of them since we escaped. There's this guy, Xavier, who runs a school in New York for mutants. He recently found out that there's a mutant in this town. Xavier knew that you were here, so he sent me with three of his former students, known as the X-Men to contact the boy, and try and get him to come back to New York with us. We'll only be in town for a couple days." Jondy explained.

"Whats the name of the mutant you're looking for?" Syl asked. "Maybe I know him."

"Uhh… Harris. Alexander Harris."

Jondy heard a bang on the other end, as Syl dropped the phone on the floor in shock.
