Disclaimer as before, but you know it by now surely?
A/N: You all know Buffys friends call themselves the Scooby Gang, don't you?
The story so far: Well the Avengers + their captives are in the Buffy prop room, hiding out from Demons etc, but where's that slayer got to? She hasn't appeared at all so far, and you'd think she would've noticed a distinct lack of Spike and Dawn by now... Oh hold up, she has!
Part V - In which the slayer gets her act together
"Hey Mom!"
"Hey Mrs Summers."
"Hello!"
"Hi,"
"Hi,"
The Scooby Gang arrived back at the Summers' house, blissfully unaware of the night's events.
"Where's Dawn?" Buffy asked, trying to act casual about her inquiry. They all knew how concerned she was for her sister's safety and they never commented.
"She should be upstairs," Joyce said and called up the stairs, "Dawn!"
There was no answer.
"Dawn!" she called again, louder. Still no answer.
The gang looked at each other and then Buffy wordlessly climbed the stairs. She checked all the rooms then returned downstairs at a run.
"She's gone! Come on!" was all Buffy said before leaving the house still running. The others followed. Joyce tried to but Giles stopped her.
"Stay here" he warned, "she might come home." Then he followed the others as they chased after Buffy.
"Where are we going?" Xander panted as he finally caught up with Buffy, but only after she'd slowed to a fast walk.
"I know where she is." Buffy explained.
"How?"
Buffy stopped, puzzled suddenly. "I'm not sure, but we haven't got much else to go on!"
* * * * *
The Scoobies crashed through the doors to the prop room. It was the only solid thing in view from outside, because as the characters weren't supposed to go here, the writers hadn't thought about making it properly.
"Spike," Buffy drawled in her `I should have known you were behind this and I'm going to kill you' voice.
"I should have known you were behind this" She told him "And now I'm gonna kill you."
"Hey! I'm nothing to do with this!" he backed away to nearer where the four girls were standing around Dawn, to keep the Scoobies from grabbing her.
"I'm just as kidnapped as Dawn!" Buffy looked at the other girls, who gathered closer together. Kat, Haz and Poppy had their `We're determined and we ain't giving an inch' looks on their faces. Min had her nose stuck in the Vampyr Book, oblivious to them all.
Buffy turned back to Spike, "You got kidnapped by a bunch of little girls?!" She asked credulously, trying to hold back her giggles.
"Oi! Kat said, "We are NOT little! Well, Haz is, but the rest of aren't! And Haz has a gun, which makes up for it."
Haz showed them her gun proudly.
"And you can't have Dawn, or Spike." Poppy told them.
Buffy was silent for a moment whilst Willow, Giles and Xander looked at her for guidance as to what to do. Kat, Haz and Poppy stared defiantly at her. Min was still reading oblivious.
"DUCK!" Buffy shouted suddenly. Willow, Giles and Xander threw themselves to the ground and Haz was so surprised that she did too.
Buffy knocked the gun out of Haz' hand with a high-kick. Then she shouted to the Scoobies. "Get the red-head, Kat, she's the brains of the operation!"
What happened next, nobody could quite say, but after a comic -trip fight in a cloud of dust, with the words
*kepow!*
*Bang!*
*Hi-Yah!*
springing out at odd intervals the dust cleared and Buffy could be seen with her hands around Kat's neck.
"Now we've got the brains of your operation!" she said triumphantly.
"Sorry guys," Kat said woefully
"So you've got to give Dawn and Spike back..."
BANG!
A book snapped shut, drawing everyone's attention away from Buffy.
Min turned to Buffy, folding her arms.
"That's what you think." She said.
