Chapter Nine: Bob...Who?

"Is Dawn feeling okay?" Fred asked.

"I think she's coming down with something," Willow told them. "She's all tired and sleepy."

"We should let her sleep, I mean highschool - especially in Sunnydale....it's kinda," Willow drifted off.

"Yeah," Cordelia and Xander agreed.

"Okay...so we're just supposed to sit and wait for a call from the Council?" Gunn asked.

"They said they'd call back," Wesley stated.

Silence ensued. "Alright, I can't take it. I'm going to go find a demon, and get the info, because sitting here isn't working," Gunn stood up, grabbing his axe.

"I'll come with you," Fred offered, and they left, leaving Wesley boiling with anger.

"Well we've got a meeting with the wedding planner," Anya announced, and her and Xander left, arguing over which relatives were gonna stay where.

Faith punched the man, who stumbled slightly. She stared. That should have sent any vampire or human flying. This guy only took a step back.

"That's it? That's the Slayer strength?" the man laughed, as he rammed his fist into Faith's stomach.

Faith felt the air whoosh out of her lungs, and she took in a deep breath as she lashed out with her fists, landing a few wild punches.

The man was strong, and threw Faith against a wall, cracking it.

Faith, angry, and refusing to be beaten, pushed him into oncoming traffic. The man was hit, and went flying into a parked car. As cars stopped, and pedestrians rushed over to help, the man stood up, and grinned. He rushed at Faith, moving faster than she had ever seen anyone move. She blocked his punch, and pulling out a knife drove it deep in his gut.

"Ah!" He pulled it out, throwing it at her.

Dodging, Faith took the knife in her shoulder.

"Damn it!" She moaned, pulling it out, grimacing at the pain.

The man was on her, kicking her, throwing her against the wall repeatedly.

Faith struck with her right foot, catching him square in the jaw, and she heard a sick *crack*. He swore, and Faith used this oppertunity to do the only thing she could.

Run.

* * *

Buffy took in a deep breath after she finished her training. She was calm. None of her worries were affecting her now.

Right now she didn't have to worry about anyone getting killed by Glory, or finding a better source of income that would pay for Dawn's college education, or how she was going to manage to kill Glory without getting killed...again.

Buffy realized that she couldn't die, that Dawn would need looking after. Who would pay for her schooling? Willow and Tara had school, Anya and Xander would have to support the family that they would be starting... Spike would use kittens... and Buffy didn't know who that left. She would never *ever* ask Angel to take care of Dawn, no way no how.

So staying alive's the key, Buffy thought, as she walked back into the Magic Box.

Faith stumbled to the Summer's house, dodging the man who had been chasing her. Just let B be home Faith prayed, and then stopped, remembering that she didn't pray, and if she did, no one would answer it anyway.

She knew she was bleeding bad, and that if she didn't get to a hospital soon - she was going to be in real trouble.

"Buffy!" She yelled, knocking and ringing the doorbell.

No answer.

"B! It's Faith, are you home?" She shouted again.

Still no answer.

"Shit!" She began looking for a key.

Potted plant, welcome mat...door....damn it where's the key? Faith wondered, when she felt a strong hand grasp her shoulder.

"Faith, what are you doing?" a strong English accent asked.

Faith spun around to come face to face with Wesley. "Wes, look, I need to get to a hospital," She told him, and he could see that she was paler, and her dark leather jacket was wet with a red substance.

"God, here, get in the car," He helped her in, forgetting for a moment that he was supposed to be afraid of her.

"Thanks," She said, as he drove her to the emergency room.

Gunn dodged the blue fist coming at him and rammed his knee up into the demon's stomach. Gripping the demon firmly by the neck, Gunn slammed him up against the wall.

"What do you know about a hellgod named Glory?" Gunn asked him.

"A what named who?" The demon asked through two mouths.

"A HELLGOD named GLORY," Gunn repeated.

"Dude, nothing, I swear!"

"Um, sir, we overheard you talking with the red fishy-guy about her," Fred told him.

"Oh THAT hellgod named Glory," The demon nodded. "Um, yeah, I know some stuff."

"Like what?" Gunn asked. "Be helpful and I won't cut off your head with this sharp axe."

"I dont' know that much! She's looking for revenge, on the Slayer, she's traveling around with another hellgod - I've never heard of him before...Bob? Something like that. All I know is she wants revenge, and lots of it," he stated.

Gunn released him. "How about you find out more?"

"I can do that..." The demon took off, running as fast as his three legs would carry him.

"So there are two hellgods, Bob and Glory," Fred said.

"Yeah, if that one was hard to beat...Bob's gonna be a real challenge..." Gunn looked at Fred. "I don't know how you do it."

"Do what?" Fred gave him a strange look.

"Manage to look so beautiful even when we're down in a sewer," Gunn replied.

"Oh! Thank you," Fred blushed. "You're beautiful too - I mean handsome," Fred turned to him.

Gunn kissed her.

Fred grinned. "We should get back, tell them about Bob," They walked to the Magic Box, hand in hand.

Harry turned to Ron and said, "I wish we could be flying right now."

"Why can't we?" Ron asked. "I mean you've got your invisibility cloak..."

"And we could take turns! Brilliant Ron!" Harry grinned.

They were at the Summer's home, where Buffy had left Spike in charge of them.

"What's Bloody Brilliant?" Spike asked.

"Ron just told Hermione how to make a certain potion," Harry said quickly.

"How did you become a vampire?" Hermione asked suddenly.

Spike stared at her for a moment.

"A vampire bit me, and then gave me their blood," Spike told her. "You really do lose IQ points in California," He remarked to no one.

"No, I mean what happened, why did you get bitten?" Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Oh, lovely story. I was walking down a dark alley, upset over some silly bint, and Drusilla came waltzing along with Darla and the poof, Angelus, and gave me the choice. Hurt it did," Spike told them.

"You chose to be a vampire?" Ron asked him.

"I will remind you, I was extremely upset over a girl," Spike replied. "But at least I got to live this long, to be with the Slayer..."

"That's so romantic," Hermione sighed.

"Lockhart!" Ron and Harry coughed.

The phone rang.

"Hello?" Spike answered.

"Oh, sorry, wrong number," The English voice replied.

"No, this is the Slayer's house you idiot," Spike rolled his eyes.

"Oh...Spike. Where's Buffy...or anyone living?" Wesley asked.

"What do you want Watcher Jr, everyone else is out."

"Faith was attacked, but what she believes is a new kind of demon. A man, she's in the hospital..."

"Strong demon?"

"She threw him into incoming traffic, and he wasn't affected."

"If it was a bint, I'd say it was Glory," Spike told him.

"It was a man..." Wesley stated. "Did Glory look like a man?"

"She was manly..." Spike recalled. "But you could tell from the wardrobe Glory was a woman. Look, I'll go find the Slayer, let her know."

"Alright," Wesley hung up.

"Your welcome," Spike said to the dial tone.

Gunn, and Fred had returned to the Magic Box, where Buffy was once again trying to find strategies.

"Find anything?" Angel asked.

"Yeah, there's -"

"Morning all," Spike entered, smoking underneath a blanket. He shook it off. "Guess what I just found out. Faith was attacked by a man this morning...strong one. She thinks it's some kind of demon."

"Is she okay?" Willow asked.

"She's in the hospital," Spike replied.

"She might have been attacked by Bob!" Fred realized.

"Who's Bob?" Buffy asked.

"Another hellgod, Glory's been traveling with. Apparently they're both out for revenge...but no one's heard of this Bob guy," Gunn answered.

"Two hellgods? I have to deal with two hellgods?" Buffy frowned. "What did I do to this Bob guy? I don't think I've ever even met a guy named Bob."

"I know who he is," Spike announced. "Bob isn't Bob, his name is Ben. Ben's a hellgod now."

The entire group looked at him in confusion.

"Ben...who?" Tara asked.

"Ben, Ben who used to work at the bloody hospital, who shared a sodden body with Glory Ben," Spike told them.

"Ben from the hospital! Oh he was so nice!" Buffy exclaimed. "What ever happened to that guy?"

"He was nice, does he still work there?" Willow asked.

"People please tell me you remember Ben! He and Glory were one person! They shared a body, turned into each other!" Spike was losing his temper.

"Wait, you mean they were similar?" Tara asked. "Cause I don't see any similar personality traits."

"And they had different body types," Willow added.

"I don't get it," Buffy told him.

Spike just stared at them. "Then Glory's magic is working already."
