AN: This chapter is just a recap of the last scene in Intervention.
Buffy walked into Spike's crypt, dressed in the Buffy-bot's horrible outfit. She had to find out if Spike had told Glory who the key was.
Buffy gasped at the sight before her. Spike lay on a sarcophagus, covered in bruises and gashes. His face was swollen and barely recognizable. For the first time Buffy really felt for him. As she came closer, Spike stirred.
"Spike! You're covered in sexy wounds," Buffy said attempting to act like the robot.
Spike turned to her, his eyes nearly swollen shut. "Yeah," he said trying to sit up. "I feel real sexy." He pulled himself upright. "Where you been?"
"I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay," Buffy said chearfully.
"Will fixed you?" Spike asked in surprise. "I thought they'd melt you into scrap."
"They were confused too. Do you wanna ravage me now?" she asked, smiling.
"Give us a minute," Spike said weakly. "Got some bones need mending."
"Why'd you let that Glory hurt you," Buffy asked.
"She wanted to know who the key was," Spike answered.
"Oh, well, I can tell her and then you'll-"
"No!" Spike shouted. He coughed as she turned back to him. "You can't ever. Glory never finds out."
"Why?" Buffy asked.
"Cause Buffy...the other, not so pleasant Buffy...anything happened to Dawn, it'd destroy her." Spike said quietly. "I couldn't live, her bein' in that much pain. Let Glory kill me first. Nearly bloody did."
Buffy looked at him in surprise. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Spike had let himself be tortured for hours, just to keep Dawn safe. It was the most amazing thing anyone had ever done for her.
She leaned forward and brushed her lips softly against his. Spike kissed her back for a second, then pulled back in surprise, suddenly realising that this was the real Buffy standing in front of him, kissing him. He stared at her in amazement, as she walked away.
"And my robot," he asked suddenly.
Buffy turned back. "The robot is gone," she said coldly. "The robot was gross and obscene."
Spike lowered his head in shame. "It wasn't supposed to-"
"Don't!" Buffy interrupted harshly. "That...thing, it...it wasn't even real."
She turned and took a few more steps towards the door. Spike just sat there, his head hanging in shame. Buffy paused again. She had to tell him how grateful he was for what he had done for them.
"What you did, for me and Dawn..." she started without even turning around. "...that was real."
Spike lifted his head in surprise. It was probably the closest thing to praise he'd ever get from her. Buffy looked at him over her shoulder.
"I won't forget it," she said.
She walked out the door and closed it behind her. Spike stared after her in surprise.
Hopefully I'll have the first chapter up by tomorrow. Please review and let me know what you think.
