Spiderman And The Enigma
CHAPTER NINE
Spike was sat at the table in the Summers dining room, he had sort of become a fixture in the house. After the date went so well he spent a lot of time there, Buffy had been a bit worried at first but then when he spent a whole day and night at the crypt she realized she missed him.
"What the shaggin' hells wrong with this thing?" Spike shouted as he turned away from the laptop computer infront of him.
Buffy had known that Spike and computers wouldn't mix well but he had made his mind up, he wanted one and that was it. He didn't know how to work it and he wouldn't let Willow help him, so he just sat there shouting at the thing.
"Honey why don't you leave it for now your only getting angry with yourself." Buffy said as she put her hand on his shoulder trying to comfort him.
"I am not getting angry with my self it is this stupid machine, it's broken." He pouted like a child.
Buffy looked over at Spike's new toy, it didn't look broken. Her mom had found it hard to use computers at first and Giles still hated the things so maybe Spike being over a hundred and British was the problem.
"What are you doing anyway?" She asked noticing that Spike was on The Gap website.
"Well in the summer months I find it hard to get to the mall so I thought that I could try that online shopping thing, Anya knows about it she's got a site for the Magic Box."
"You do know that you need a credit card don't you?"
Spike pulled a small plastic card from his pocket and handed to Buffy, her face instantly weary.
"Mr William Evans, oh my god Spike you didn't steal it, how come you've got a credit card." Buffy asked as Spike pulled the card from her hand. He stalked out of the room, Buffy following close behind.
"I need it for business." Was the only answer he would give.
Buffy's mind started to tick, Spike on business in the past that had never been good. But this must be real business what with the credit card and all. She would go ask Dawn, those two were always partners in crime, crime normally being the correct word, she would know what Spike was up to.
~~~~~~~~~
That night Spike had gone back to his crypt, leaving Buffy alone with his laptop. She had called Dawn but had no luck, Dawn didn't know what was going on apart from that the laptop had cost over $1000.
Buffy started it up and connected to the internet, over the years she had gotten quite good with computers, she could find out what the vampire was up to. And if not she could get Willow to hack into the credit card company for Spike's bill.
As soon as she saw the history she started to laugh, of course there were a few porn sites but the majority were clothes shops and even a few comic book dealers.
"So Spike is a cross dressing comic book geek." She giggled to herself as she uploaded the pages.
She spent a couple of hours browsing the pages for clues, but she still didn't have a clue what was going on. When she looked at the fashion sites she thought that maybe he had wanted to get her a present, but as if she would want a comic book. Who the hell did Spike know who would want a comic book?
"Xander!" She shouted as her friend came up behind her.
"Hey want ya doing Buff?" he asked as he saw the look of detection on her face.
"Nothing just looking at Spike's laptop. Does this mean anything to you?" She said as she turned the screen toward Xander.
His eyes widened, "Oh holy mother of God I say yes. It's a limited addition Spiderman number one." He gazed in awe at the screen.
"Oh."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Xander was hugging Spike when Buffy got home from work that night, which was unsettling to say the least.
"Hey guys got some male bonding thing going on here?" She asked as she made her way into the room.
The two man pulled themselfs apart, Xander had a comic book in his hand and was grinning like a child.
"Buffy look what Spike bought me." Xander squeeled like a child.
Buffy looked at the item in his hand, that Spiderman comic, what the hell was Spike up to, buying presents for Xander.
"That's nice, and tell why did Spike get you this?" She said eyeing the vampire.
"Because he never once bought me a birthday or Christmas present in all these years." Xander reeled off the explination Spike hand given him, not caring why but only that he had it.
Buffy left the room, time to make dinner. Spike was an enigma, but she was sure that she would find out his plan soon enough, she just hoped it wasn't another one of his 'I'm gonna kill the slayer' plans. They never went well.
