"At the very least, this prison is a bit more comfortable..." Finn monologues making Buffy groan in annoyance, the guy literally hadn't shut up since they all got here, honestly, hell would have been an improvement over her being roped into this Mikealson brother reunion torture chamber "... then the box you held me in for almost 900 years."

Klaus rolls in eyes at his brother's taunting before looking around the room "The heads are a nice touch." He says gesturing to the animal heads in the room "Let me guess. I'm the big, bad wolf." He says making Buffy snort as he gestures to the wolf on the wall behind him.

Turning around to glance at it she shrugs "It does kind of look like you in wolf form."

Klaus arches a brow before glancing back in amusement "Ah perhaps your right luv." Pausing he turns to look at the female lion head on the wall resting above the chair beside the wolf "Let me guess, the brave lioness, would be dear Buffy. Kol, the wily fox. Elijah is the noble stag. And you, fittingly enough, are the boar. Bit obvious, as far as symbolism goes."

Buffy chuckles before turning to Finn no longer amused "Look I've been trapped in my own head before not a fan. So can we quit the chit chat and you can tell us why we're here. I'm getting testy. A testy Slayer is not a happy Slayer."

"I'd say it's about my mother, darling." Klaus tells her as he grins over at his brother, his grin growing as he spots the annoyed look on Finn's face "You know I didn't force her to drink blood and betray everything she holds dear. That was her choice."
Buffy sighs and glances over at Elijah who was clearly as unamused as she was at this point, the blonde groans and runs a hand through her long blonde locks before pausing as Finn finally speaks up.

"This isn't about mother." He argues "It's about you." He says making Klaus clench his jaw "I want you to know how it feels to be powerless. So I'm gonna take the thing that matters most to you. Well, the two things. This city you've come to love so much...and the girl you spent 800 years waiting for." Pausing Finn's grin turns into a full-on smirk as he glances over at Buffy making Klaus clench his jaw which only causes Finn to chuckle. Klaus ignores his laughter as he takes a threatening step towards his brother "Don't touch her."

"I won't have to." Finn laughs making Buffy frown in confusion, he had something up his sleeve here she could feel it, they were missing something and she wasn't exactly big on being left out of the loop.

Elijah sighs drawing his elder brother's attention "We're quite done here. You will release us now."

"I will." Finn says kindly "After sundown. Because at sundown, when the marchers of Carillon Eve take to the streets...my barrier spell drops. Marcel and his hungry vampires will be un-leased to kill their way through the Quarter, but let's not forget..." Pausing he turns to glance at Buffy who was glaring daggers at him "When you let Kol use your blood those vampires smelt it. Do you know what regular Slayer blood does to a vampire? Angelus a man who loved you more than life itself almost drained you dry because of the power in your veins."
At the mention of Angel Buffy clenches her fist as her mind switched back to that night where Angel had almost killed her "Shut your mouth."

Finn merely chuckles "Dear that was before your little upgrade. Those vampires will smell the blood still on your clothing. They'll rip through this city just to find you. And there you will be on the ground...and as they drain you dry...they'll rip you to pieces. I've never seen an Original grow back a head. So you might be heading back into your own coffin soon enough."

At his words, Klaus attempts to launch himself at his brother only to again freeze as Finn merely raises a hand and chuckles before turning back to Buffy who was now stood beside Elijah slight panic filling her features "You won't feel a thing. Nothing personal."

"You really do love the sound of your own voice don't you?" She hisses in annoyance before rolling her eyes "Look the whole dead, evil witch dude, I'm both been there and done that can we get on with it now." She snarks out forcing a smile on her face to hide the fact she was a little terrified right now because honestly, she wasn't sure what would happen if those vampires had no control and ripped her body to pieces. There may be no coming back from pieces.

Kol at this point sighs in annoyance "No offense Darling, I think your swell but right my very human body that won't pop back up after being drained is trapped with hungry vampires." Moving closer to his elder brother he couldn't help but glare "Your fight is with them, it's not with me."
Finn merely sighs at his younger brother's insistence "All you care about is your own fragile mortality. But what if you were made vulnerable? What then?" Without a second thought, Finn flicks his wrist, and Buffy stares with wide eyes as Kol groans before blood begins to drip from his nose.

Buffy couldn't help but gulp "Uh oh."


"Okay little problem." Damon says loudly as he merely strolls into Elena's apartment without even knocking and makes his way into the kitchen to grab the bottle of bourbon from the bottom of the cupboard before making his way to the couch.
Elena pops out of her bedroom where she was getting ready for the party only to spot Damon now sat on her couch his feet up on the coffee table "Wow. Make yourself right at home." She mumbles sarcastically before crossing her arms. "Problem?"

Damon lowers the bottle from his lips before shrugging "Oh yeah my brother's missing."

At his sudden words, Elena's widen in shock at the way he just casually threw that out there "What?!" She screams causing the bottle in his hands to explode to pieces making the vampire pout "Oh come on."

Elena rolls her eyes in annoyance while Damon merely stands and walks over to her "Yeah, so since Bonnie's not a witch anymore and I'm pretty sure your little banshee thing doesn't come with ESP you need to call Willow. I would but...she doesn't like me. Get her to do a little locator spell for Stefan...and Buffy while you're at it."
Elena groans and runs a hand through her hair as she stares at the vampire in disbelief, grabbing her phone she moves to call Willow however she pauses as an idea occurs to her "Actually while I do this...I need a favor."
"Nope."
Elena merely arches a brow "What if I said I needed you to get information out of someone while me, Caroline and Bonnie take Jessie to a party to help him with his new gifts. And what if I told you this person was torturing vampires? As long as you don't kill him he's all yours to question."

Damon watches her slowly before an evil grin crosses his face "Torture? Now, this sounds like my kind of favor."


Buffy winces as she watches Kol wipe the new blood from his face, when she spots Finn turn to glace at her almost daring her to pick a fight she raises her hands in surrender "I'm good. Keep your hocus pocus to yourself."
Kol sighs before turning to his brother was an almost desperate look on his face "Look I love a joke more than anyone but if you could just get me back to my body—"
"I must confess..." Elijah starts up as Klaus quickly moves the blonde Slayer back over to him to keep Finn as far as away as possible from her "I rather enjoy watching you twist in the wind."

Buffy snorts "Wow and I thought my family was nuts."

At those words, Finn seemingly remembers exactly who her family was and he chuckles as he turns to face the blonde smirking in amusement as his brother stood in front of her, ignoring the hybrid he turns to the blonde "Ah yes your family. Didn't your sister help kill me? Blame this on her then." Flicking his wrist this time at the blonde Buffy groans as she feels blood begin pouring down her nose just like it had done with Kol.

"Let her be Finn." Elijah hisses drawing his brother's attention away from the girl that was practically family after everything. He had made a promise to her a long time ago to keep her safe and he intended to keep that promise. Pulling the handkerchief from his pocket he hands it to the blonde who smiles sweetly as she dabs the blood off her face.
Smiling back he then turns back to his brother the smile dropping almost immediately "Speaking of sister's Kol..."

At his words, Finn chuckles knowing Elijah was hinting at Rebekah's disappearance which was of course caused by the damn wily fox "Yes, what did you do to Rebekah?"

"For goodness' sake..." Kol starts in annoyance as he wipes the blood off his face with the back of his sleeve "...she crossed me, so I crossed her back. Look if you could just get me back to my body...I will tell anybody anything they need to know..." As he continues Finn merely raises his hand silencing his younger brother before turning to the Slayer, the hybrid, and the vampire "How narrow-minded of me. Rebekah, you don't know where she is...and the only thing standing between you and our sister is this selfish fool. Maybe it's time that you enjoy the rest of your mortal life while you still can." With that Finn squeezes his fist together and within a second Kol was gone.

"Can I be next on the transporter?" Buffy jokes up from behind Klaus however when all three of them turn to her she shrugs "What? Transporter from Stark Trek. Okay. Never mind."
Finn chuckles at the blonde before watching as his brother kept her close only making his amusement grow, turning to the blonde he watches her carefully "Let me ask you Buffy, the offer that was given to my siblings by my mother...we never received your answer."

At his words, Buffy frowns in confusion as to what the hell he was getting at, while she knew that Esther had offered the Mikealsons new human bodies to live out their lives without being vampires; that had nothing to do with her.
Finn merely places a hand on his chest being overly dramatic as he turns to his younger brother who now looked rather panicked as he realized just what Finn was about to reveal, however before the hybrid could cut in Finn raises his hand silencing him as he takes a step towards the blonde who was just getting more confused by the second.
"Niklaus did tell you that the deal offered to them was offered to you as well? Didn't he?"
Buffy's eyes widen as she feels a range of different emotions fill her taking a step back from Klaus she ignores his panicked gaze as she turns to Finn, not wanting to believe a word of it "Huh?"

Finn merely throws a shit-eating grin at his brothers as he continues "My mother offered to place you in a human body...one that wasn't a Slayer. With a man of your choice, so that you could live out your days. No longer fighting the forces of darkness like you were cursed to"

At his words, Buffy inhales tightly as images of a life outside of being the Slayer filled her mind, while she didn't want the immortality cure because even after taking it she still would have been a Slayer... this was different. She could have been free of demons, witches...all of it, never to be hunted again. While no she wouldn't have accepted the deal mainly due to the fact that it was Esther and she was crazier than a damn clown; she still had a right to know that it was offered in the place.
Because to be honest after everything she had given up for the world...she had to admit it was tempting.

Turning to look at Klaus water filling her eyes she couldn't help but pray that he hadn't lied to her face, however, her hope quickly fades as she spots the look on his face, she knew him better than most as he did her. And right now it was very clear that he had lied to her.

Shaking her head she runs a hand through her hair before shoving her feelings deep down, she didn't have time to deal with her body was currently under threat and she needed to get the hell out of here. Turning to Finn who was grinning madly at the now furious hybrid she called a baby daddy she rolls her eyes "I get it now..." She says drawing Finn's attention "Why you're the boar." She says gesturing to the head on the wall "Given how much your words bore me to sleep. So keep talking. I could use a good nap."


Damon grins madly as he continues to torture Wes, he had probably injected him with at least 20 of the different viruses and bacteria eating vials he had found in the creepy doctor's fridge.
Leaning forward he smirks down at the human whose face was now practically white as snow "Turning a kid into a vampire so you can experiment on him?" He taunts before shaking his head in almost disappointment "Harsh. What is it about this place that turns people into mad scientists?" He asks as he moves away from the doctor and over to the table where all of Wes's little medical toys were set up.

Wes merely rolls his eyes at the vampires taunting "Human trials are a vital part of modern medicine." He argues as Damon continues to go through his things.
Glancing up momentarily Damon shrugs before snooping around a bit more "Yeah, but don't people usually volunteer or sign waivers? Maybe gets some dough for tuition?"

"Sometimes you do what's necessary for the greater good."

Damon chuckles however before he could say another word he spots a name on three of the vials on the desk, moving over his eyes widen as he realizes just exactly what both of them said. And honestly, it horrified him to his very core.

B SUMMERS: PRE-SLAYER

B SUMMERS: 2 YEARS POST-SLAYER

B SUMMERS: TRANSITIONED HYBRID/SLAYER

Moving over to Wes he grabs the doctor by the neck and shoves his head against the seat "Okay I'm done being nice. I'm not good at it. You know what I am good at? Ripping out tongues but before I do...Wanna tell me why you have three vials of my best friend's blood?"


CLEVELAND, OHIO

Willow who had a bright smile on her face as she and Tara continued to cuddle both of them refusing to leave their bed for the day groans as she hears her phone ring "Go away real world." She mumbles into Tara's neck making the other witch giggle.
"It might be important." Tara whispers before kissing Willow softly and handing her the phone, the redhead sighs just as the doorbell goes off as well "Great, this officially ends not leaving this bed." She mumbles as Tara laughs and moves to go get the door while the red-headed witch reluctantly answers the phone.

"Hello?"
"Willow hey it's Elena."

Willow couldn't help but sigh in relief, normally it was Faith, Rona, or Giles calling her which always ended up with bad news "Hey Elena, you have no idea how glad I am it's you and not...well another Slayer or Watcher...or..."
"Willow."

At the tone of the Banshee's voice, Willow couldn't help but groan in annoyance that wasn't a let's catch up voice, that was a something bad happened and we need magical assistance voice "What happened?"

"No one's heard from Buffy in a couple of days and Stefan disappeared."

"Locator spell?" Willow guesses as she climbs out of bed and slips on her fluffy slippers chuckling as she hears Elena sigh in amusement "Locator spell. I'm sorry to ask..."

"Willow can you come downstairs, now!" Tara yells from the front door making the redhead frown, walking out of her room she heads down the steps while continuing to speak to her favorite Banshee "It's no biggy. Magic is a definite Willow job but..." Willow halts in her words as she spots the figure who was stood at the door staring at both witches with wide panicked eyes.

Gulping Willow turns back to the phone as she walks over to the front door "I'll call you when I know more." Without another word, she hangs up and turns to the handsome male figure at the door who awkwardly stands at the barrier "I really need your help."

Tara and Willow glance at each other in worry, they could see something was definitely wrong, and if they could help they knew they had to. Pausing Tara turns back to him and smiles "Come on in, Stefan."


Buffy groans in boredom as she sits in the chair with the lioness above it while Klaus and Elijah stood closely behind her both of them acting like damn bodyguards between her and Finn.

While the three immortal beings were clearly annoyed and bored with being trapped; becoming more infuriated by the seconds, Finn on the other hand seemed to be immensely enjoying himself as he tried to cause trouble.

"So, what should we talk about while we wait for nightfall?" The witch questions tapping his chin playfully before he turns to the blonde "How about you? We didn't get to talk much during my time in Mystic Falls, with your family killing me and all."
Buffy groans in annoyance and drops her head to her knees which she had brought up to her chest "If I were in my Slayer body, I'd be punning right now about how little your death affected me. But alas you've bored me so much. I can't even pun. Well done."

Finn merely crouches down in front of the blonde only to chuckle as both Elijah and Klaus take a step forward, laughing he raises his hands in surrender "Protective over the Slayer. I get it."
Finn merely smirks enjoying it, he had never seen his brothers, specifically Klaus this worried and protective over anyone not even back when they were human, Tatia clearly was no comparison for the way his brother felt about the Slayer. Deciding to dig a little deeper he smirks down at her with a look that made Buffy groan; it was like he was looking into her soul.

So way with the creepy.

"Let me ask you..." He begins "Have you made a choice yet?"
When the blonde merely frowns in confusion Finn chuckles noticing both his brothers watching in confusion too "Let me clarify. Which Buffy Summers you wish to be."
Buffy couldn't help but roll her eyes "Oh bite me."

"Come on." The witch taunts knowing he was getting to her "Given how often your friends back in Mystic Falls call you needing you to come fix their little problems...I think you're torn. About where your home is." Pausing he gestures up at the lioness's head above the blonde "Do you know why you're the brave lioness? I'll tell you. The lioness protects she's vicious, tough. Protecting her little cubs. Like your friends for instance. How many times have you died protecting them all while they judge you for your own choices?"

And there it was, Buffy felt a nerve strike, clenching her jaw she glares up hatefully at the witch just imagining all the ways she was going to rip him to shreds the second she got her damn hands on him "Shut up."
Finn merely laughs knowing he was getting right into it now "Come on Buffy, admit it. In Mystic Falls. You're the hero, you have to follow all the rules. But you said it yourself once 'Human rules don't apply. There's only me. I am the law.'"
Buffy winces at that remembering back to an argument she had with Giles when she had returned to Sunnydale to go up against the First. Biting her tongue to keep from snapping she looks up at him trying to resist the urge to wipe that smug look from his face as he continues "But you see they forget you're not human anymore. Your friends your family, they still expect you to stay within those walls. They want you to remain that perfect little Slayer; to hide the demon. To hide who you are...but you don't feel that way here, do you? When you're with Niklaus and my family?"

At his question Buffy goes deadly quiet while Klaus couldn't help but arch a brow curiously; as much as he wanted to torture his brother right he couldn't help but find himself desperate to know her answer.

"You feel like you." Finn continues not noticing or not caring about the obviously uncomfortable tension that was filling the room "I mean it makes sense..." He says spinning around gesturing in-between the ex-lovers/friends/hybrids "...you two are according to the universe supposed to practically reign down hell together, but that's if you believe our dear sister Marianna but then again...this was prior to her hating your guts so she probably hadn't started lying to you all the time yet..." He says turning to Klaus who rolls his eyes at the mention of their adopted sister, the only time any of them heard from Marianna was when it came to her calling to warn them of threats to Joy, other than that she stayed to herself.

Finn smirks again before turning back to Buffy who rolls her eyes much like the other hybrid at him, grinning he moves to sit opposite the blonde never taking his eyes off her "So I'll ask again. Have you chosen a home yet? Have you chosen which Buffy Summers you will be?"


Wes screams in agony as Damon places another needle into his finger just under the nail, Damon merely grins like a cat as the human screams "Look at you Edward needle hands." The vampire laughs gesturing to where Wes now had five needles in his hand, one in each finger. Damon smirks before pouting slightly "I'd say now I remove the nails. Give you a real story for the kids." He says with a terrifying smirk as he moves to start ripping off Wes's fingernails making the doctor panic in terror and agony "Wait, wait! Buffy's father." He gasps out making Damon halt and tape his chin "Continue."

Wes sighs before glancing at the three vials of Buffy's blood "A witch Abby Bennet warned Hank that this vampire hunter was looking for Buffy when she was still a kid, convinced that she was going to become the Slayer."
At his words, Damon's eyes widen remembering back to Bonnie's mom's tale about how Mikael had shown up looking for Buffy and Elena when they were kids, hence why Abby ended up desiccating him for almost 15 years.
As Damon goes quiet Wes sighs "So Grayson took a vile of her blood just in case to see if there were any genetic markings after a transformation like that. When Hank suspected Buffy had been called he sent me a vial of new blood he had gotten while she had stayed with him during the summer after the divorce. It was different not much from before. But enough to notice that went I put even a drop near a vampire they went crazy. But that all changed when I got a call from this kid, never met him before but he heard of me. Said Buffy had transformed into a new kind of Slayer and when she almost ripped out his heart with her bare-hands she had coughed up blood on him."

Damon clenches his jaw as an image of a very cocky robot building now dead nerd filled his head "Warren." He breaths before chuckling as Wes's eyes widen however before Wes could question his whereabouts Damon smirks "He's way Dead. Buffy ended him. From what I hear wasn't pretty. Ritual sacrifice. Dark magic. Twisted neck. Very Craft. So come on Dr. Hyde I'll play...what was different about the third dose of Slayer blood?"

Wes chuckles shaking his head making Damon roll his eyes before standing and moving over to the vials in the fridge "Rabies's it is."

Before he could grab it however Wes gives in once again "I wanted to turn Jesse into a new kind of vampire."

"Well, that's awfully ambitious of you." Damon snarks as he continues to go through the range of dangerous diseases Wes had stored away for testing "So how does Buffster's blood play into that?" He asks as he finds something even better than Rabies, with a grin on his face he moves over to Wes smiling like a child on Christmas morning "Ebola."

Wes visible pails at the sight of it and gulps "Buffy's body is built to hunt and track vampires, it's why her blood makes vampire's nuts, it's like a homing beacon. It draws them to her so she can kill them. I want to make vampires as dangerous to their own kind as the Slayer is to them. Vampires once they spot a Slayer have trouble resisting the urge to go after her. So what if there was a vampire...with that Beacon in them, vampires would be drawn to that vampire...drawn to that power that comes from Buffy's blood. But you see that's not enough...you make this vampire beacon so it doesn't feed on humans. Vampires around Jesse won't be able to stay away from him, they'll be drawn to him because of Buffy's blood, but once they're close enough...human blood will only satiate Jesse temporarily...until he gets a taste of what he really craves."

And that's when it clicks in Damon's mind, vampires would be drawn to a vampire...that craved its own kinds' blood. Which made Jesse pretty much deadly to every vampire they knew.


"Finn, leave the girl alone." Elijah states moving in front of his brother "Hearing you talk this much could make her want to rip her own ears out. And given unlike you she's a rather good conversationalist I'd like to still be able to have her hear me when we escape your little hole."
While Buffy snorts "Yes, ears, bleeding. God, I wish I was deaf right now. You're voice. It's a little pitchy."
At her words, Klaus lets out a snort of amusement while Finn merely clenches his jaw before forcing a smile on his face "Fine. How about we discuss our parents?"

At his words, Buffy leans forward in her seat and raises her hand "Yes I have a question. Which one of them insisted on teaching you to talk? Seems like a waste."

"That would be our mother Luv." Klaus pipes up for the first time placing a hand on her shoulder as he moves to stand behind her chair before turning to his brother "Speaking of which...I figured you wouldn't be kind to her, but imagine my surprise to learn that Mikael met the same fate. Bravo, brother."

Finn clenches his fist tightly clearly not happy with his brother's words but despite that, he tried to stir the conversation in a different way "You see, the parent I was interested in talking about was your father. Your real one?" At his words Buffy tenses slightly remembering back to what Klaus had told her about how his real father was able to sense that Joy was alive so he killed him to protect their daughter.
Feeling Klaus tighten his hold on her shoulder slightly she takes a deep breath as she remains silent watching Finn carefully.

"I mean, you longed to know him your whole life..." Finn reminds the hybrid "...yet at the first opportunity, you murdered him. Why? I wonder."
Buffy glances at Klaus who squeezes her shoulder as he moves around her seat to take a step up to his brother glaring daggers at him "Possibly the same reason you took out Esther. Severing parental ties has a way of freeing one up...to recognize one's true potential."

Finn merely smiles before turning back to glance at Buffy this time "Quite. But you see Esther was no fool. Your mother Joyce..." At his words Buffy tenses at the mention of her daughter's namesake, her mom had been the person to warn them of Esther coming for their baby "...was granted leave from peace by the Powers that Be. You see that doesn't just happen. The minute your mother stepped over the barrier she spent every second with you and Niklaus."
At his words Klaus glances over at Buffy both of them trying to hide their own worry right now, Buffy couldn't help but clench her jaw praying to god that he didn't know, he couldn't know. This couldn't be happening.

It couldn't.

"Mother was curious." Finn continues glancing in-between the two parents "You see it was one thing, a warrior being granted a gift but then..." Slowly his focus landed back on Klaus who tensed ever so slightly that Finn didn't notice but Buffy and Elijah did "...you killied your father, it made mother realize that there was something more important than meeting your father. Something else that occupied the top of your list of affections. Something the Powers might think is valuable enough to send a dead woman back to warn their greatest warrior."

At his words, Buffy stands moving closer to Nik as Finn grins staring in-between Buffy and Klaus once more "It's not your favorite city, with that I didn't even get a rise out of you. I both have seen enough to know that you're protective over each other but it's more than that. A shared affection, I thought maybe it was Rebekah, but you both remain calm...even when the one person who knows her fate probably just met his. Then I thought maybe it was your family..." He says glancing at Buffy "...but still the mention of your sister. Nothing. And we both know Niklaus given he killed her once doesn't care about Elena. And when I mention the offer my mother made to you, the secret Niklaus had kept from you while yes you looked upset...it's not enough."

Before he could continue Elijah speaks up drawing Finn's attention finally making him tear his eyes away from Buffy and Klaus. Buffy takes a deep breath and tries to remain only to have Klaus reach down entangling his fingers with hers instantly a wave of calm filled her ever so silent enough to make her stop shaking. Glancing up at him she offers her the same worried glance, it was too late, they had failed, they could both feel it.

"I am fighting the monumental desire to mount your severed head upon one of these walls." Elijah tells his brother trying to keep Finn's attention off of Buffy and Klaus who were both trying to contain their anger and worry for their daughter. Their little Joy.

Finn merely chuckles not in the least bit affected by his brother's harsh words as he goes back to his taunting, "Then I thought it was your favorite brother. But mother broke him into a thousand pieces...yet that didn't warrant a phone call to your dear Slayer to bring her out to New Orleans. And we both know she doesn't come here unless it's at your request, the first time was the moonlight rings. But why summon her again...you know if I didn't know better, I'd say you two were hiding something from me. Something big. Something dark." Clenching her jaw tightly Buffy holds onto Klaus' hand tightly it was basically the only thing keeping her from ripping out Finn's spine right now, and then using his own spine to strangle him to death.

Finn knowing he was getting to the two of them tilts his head "Maybe whatever the reason Mrs. Summers was sent back has to do with why you killed your real father. Maybe he found out why The dear Slayer's mother had come back and you had to kill him."

"You want to know why I killed my father?" Klaus hisses his anger taking over as he glared at his brother with more hate than Buffy had ever seen "When blood relations let me down, I don't stop to reason with them. I remove them."
Buffy smirks over at Finn "And let's not forget I literally died saving the world. Do you know what it's like to be killed by a mystical energy ball from hell? I'll give you a hint. It's not pretty. The Powers owed me big time. When the Other Side was down that was the only chance they had to say thank you. I unlike you know you...haven't spent years pissing off higher beings."

Finn merely arches a brow at the two of them while yes their reasoning was believable enough there was something else, something more passionate behind their words "So the secret is there is no secret?"
Buffy merely rolls her eyes at the witch's words she wanted to get the hell out of here and to Joy "Conversations over, Witch Bitch. Can we go?"
Finn smirks before turning to his brother glancing in-between him and the Slayer again "You see brother, Miss Summers, I don't believe you. It's clear to me that you're both hiding something. And as I control your presence here...I've got all the time in the world to figure out just what that might be."
As Finn turns away walking away from the pair Klaus's face finally softens and he turns to Buffy who had her eyes wide with fear. They both knew the truth, Finn was going to figure out that Joy was alive...it was just a case of when he found out and how long they could keep him from figuring it out.
