"Faith" Was the only word he could come up with, he wanted their reunion to be nice, maybe a little dramatic too. But seeing her he remembered what she had done and how he had reacted. He wondered if they actually could trust each other. But, then he remember her arriving in L.A, newly awaken up from a coma. Confused, betrayed. She had kidnapped him and tortured him for hours and then Angel had shown up and saved him.
Then he had met up with the old friends in the watcher council and they had notified him about capturing Faith with his help. But he could not betray Angel who was protecting her. But he had accepted the job - pretended - He had actually tried to get her away before it became too late. But Collins and Weatherby had shown up earlier - They saved Faith from being held captive in something above civiler understandings - And she had chosen to step forward to the police.
"Wesley" The young woman, looked lifeless. The sparkle in her eyes had faded.
There was a long silence between the two of them
"How are you" Wesley tried to be polite
"I don´t know" Faith clasped her hands together
Wesley stepped forward, trying to close the long distance between them, without getting too close
"It´s complicated. I don´t know how I am supposed to feel" Faith said
"It´s not a decision, Faith" Wesley said
Faith sighed "I´m five by five"
They were standing in a cosy apartment, not too big and not too small. the council had paid furniture and the apartment itself. Something Wesley had not expected.
Wesley put down his package as he faced the brunette again
"Faith, I trust you and I hope you trust me. The past is the past. Let´s try to put everything behind us" Wesley said
"And what if we can´t?" Faith asked
"Then I´m afraid we won´t get along and I will send out a request for a new watcher" Wesley said
"Well, there´s enough drama for one night" Faith said "Guess I should head out to the cemetery"
"You want me to come along? Backup?" Wesley asked
"Suit yourself" Faith said as she grabbed her long leather jacket and headed out with Wesley following
: : :
"Come on" Spike pleaded as he lit a cigarette
"Why?" Xander asked "So I can have a crashing headache in the morning, no thank you"
"So you can get out of this rotten apartment" Spike explained
"I´m fine" Xander said as he turned his attention back to the TV
Spike stood still for few seconds then he turned it off and stood in the way so Xander couldn´t turn it on again
Xander sighed as he leaned back into his sofa
"Just for an hour or so" Spike said
Xander stayed silent
"Xander, I´m worrying about you" Spike said "I´ve been worrying about you since day one, please I need to make sure you´re not- -"
"I´m not, what?!" Xander raised his voice
"That you´re not hurting yourself, while I´m away" Spike said, he wanted to kick himself for saying it out loud, but he knew what the boy had been up to every night when the vampire was away
"Spike, I do what I please. It´s none of your business" Xander said "Now get out of the way" He stood up and tried to reach for the TV, but Spike grabbed his wrist
"I need a backup, the fellows have been raising like madness past days" Spike said
Xander sighed again "Okay, an hour. Then I go home and watch the rerun of Dawson´s Creek"
"You´re so pathetic" Spike smirked

The vampire sent both him and Faith flying to the ground. She clenched her fist and punched him off her, getting enough time to get back to her feet. The vampire was on his knees when Faith round kicked him in the jaw sending him back to the ground. She grabbed her stake and jammed it into his chest and in matter of seconds the dust was whirling around her.
"It´s a nice timing, Faith" Wesley appeared from the shadows, checking his clock
"I´m a bit out of practice, Wes. But, give it time. I´ll be sending you the dust on conveyer in matter of days"
Wesley smiled a bit at that
She picked up her bag and they kept going through
"So, how´s Angel and Cordelia?" Faith asked, trying to make a conversation
"Angel could be better, he has recently discovered his own son.. but Cordy - delia is fine" Wesley said
"Is it possible for vampires to multiply?" Faith asked gently, not pushing the subject
"This is actually a very special case" Wesley said when they both heard a cracking sound
They turned to right to be greeted by darkness but in the distance they could hear strong voices
"Could you be less noisier" Spike whispered as he shot the kid a glance who was eating a small bag of Doritos as he broke every branch he saw with his feet "Remember, we´re hunting"
"Hey, you dragged me into this" Xander complained "I could be watching Survivor right now"
Spike growled slightly
"Did you just growl at me" Xander asked offended
Spike stopped
"No - Okay yes I did, do you know what growl means in vampiric language, it´s an expression of annoyance and do you know what vampire is capable of when it is annoyed?"
"Talk me to de-?" Xander started, but was cut off when he was thrown to the ground. He landed few feet away, moaning in pain.
His attacker was coming back for him when he was grabbed by Spike
Xander quickly jumped up and reached for his stake, coming in between the attacker and Spike, holding the stake up. But he froze.
In front of him stood a brunette woman
FAITH stood in front of him
Xander and Faith stared deeply into each other´s eyes, until Faith broke it
"Xander?" She asked
"Faith" Xander stated
Spike came up behind, but Xander gave him a sign to stop so he did, staring at Xander and the familiar girl, but not familiar enough to remember how she connected Xander
"W-when did you get out?" Xander asked as he noticed Wesley slowly walking up behind "You´re with him"
"Xander, I´m the slayer" Faith said
Xander stared shocked at her. Faith had arrived - with the past along
