Pain

By Falcon-Rider

Inside Buffy's head in 7x13

She stares at him in the light of the broken and dust covered initiative complex. He's pale, deathly so.

'He is dead.' She reminds her self. 'And he could be even more so.'

"Have you made your decision?"

She turns her head to the side and looks up into brown eyes.

Oh.

The decision.

To fix it, and leave it in… or to remove it.

It being the chip.

She turns back to look at him, he is in pain, numbed only by a drug that one of the men had injected into his borrowed blood,

Pain, she knew pain.

She knew pain well.

Pain was a part of her life.

She lived it, caused it, and reveled in it.

She could take it into her own hands and deal it out.

She had caused so much of it.

And once again she would be forced to deal it out.

… Or she could take it away.

Her decision, her choice.

The man sighed and turned to walk over to a small group of soldiers who were talking about something or other.

"Wait."

She called out causing him to turn.

She lifts her green eyes up to meet brown.

"I've made my decision.
