"Pet, we thought you'd never wake up." Spike said leaning over Tomorrow
when her eyes opened.
"What happened?" she asked weakly.
"Seems your body was rejecting your new powers, but Rupert came and gave you an energy boost so your body will accept it."
"So I'll be okay and the training will get easier again."
"The training will get a lot easier, I'm not letting you do it anymore. I am so sorry I let the whole training thing get out of hand. If I'd only thought about you instead of trying to please the powers none of this would have happened."
"Dad, I want to train. If I don't train, some evil demon is just going to come along and kick my ass. I need to train and I want to help you get in with the powers. You have never held back on me before and you're not going to now. In a few days I'll be right back in the basement."
"You can believe her too Uncle Spike she has the resolve face." Connor said coming in. "Aunt Buffy wanted you downstairs I can watch Tom," after Spike left. "So how are you feeling?"
"Do I really have to answer that stupid question? I hurt a little, I'll be back up in no time."
"Tom, this was serious, we almost lost you. Grandpa Giles said if he hadn't come in time."
"But he did. My bodies accepting the power and I'll get on with my training I could use the outlet."
"Write a poem or a story, Talk to Max, but don't use a painful breakup for an excuse to kill yourself working out your aggression."
"But I'll be fine."
"They still don't know that"
"What"
"The council has never had a case like yours. They don't know what the energy boost will do to you. There's still a chance that your body will reject the powers."
"So I lose my powers I lived without them once"
"Tom if you lose your powers you'll die."
"For real."
"Yeah, everyone's pretty freaked out downstairs. Now that they know you're up Grandpa Giles will be up to examine you."
"You'll stay right here with me."
"Come on when have I ever let you down. This week."
"What happened?" she asked weakly.
