Chapter 2: Human? And an Annoying Visitor
Buffy fielded questions about where she was from and stuff like that. No one had a clue why she was there and how she came to be there. Although Tyr seemed to be enjoying her company (or just her presence rather). She had yet to tell them what she was or anything else.
'Yes, cause that would go over so well. Well, you see I am the slayer, one girl in the entire world, yada yada ya! And that gives me accelerated healing and super human strength, but hey that's nothing to worry about.' She thought, as she tried not to answer too much.
She realized that Trance was staring at her intently and she seemed to know something that she wasn't saying in front of the rest of the group. Charlagmane was sitting in the corner, content for the moment to see how this was all going to play out.
"So, what are you?" No one had answered her question yet and she was tired of being the center of attention and she really didn't feel like talking to them anymore.
"Well, we are Nietzscheans." Charlagmane said, as if that would explain everything to her. At her look of 'so?', he continued. " We are a genetically alterate species, we were created to serve the humans, but that back fired." Tyr chuckled at that and the two Nietzscheans shared a look.
"Okaaaaay. But what does that mean?" she began to realize that she was feeling things that weren't human.
'Huh, I guess my spidey sense changed when I jumped through that portal.'
"Something like that, kid." Whistler said, shocking everyone, including Rommi.
"You are not on my sensors." Rommi told him, walking around Whistler, trying to figure out what he was.
"Oh, look, it's the annoying bookie from the Bronx." She got a chuckle out of Harper, but everyone else was oblivious to the sarcasm of the statement.
"What's a bookie?" Charlagmane asked, at which Harper chuckled even more, before sputtering out.
"It's. laugh. too. laugh. human for you!" He broke into a fit of giggles again. Buffy glared at the demon, realizing that the Powers had taken her gift.
"What do you want?"
"Hey, don't shoot the messenger, kid. The powers need you to help these people." Whistler told her, before turning to Dylan, "Is there some place that blonde and I can talk in private?"
"Uhh, sure," Dylan answered, unsure what he was, but knowing that he'd play nice until Rommi could figure it out. "You can use my room." Dylan lead a still glaring, Buffy and Whistler to his room and left them alone to talk.
"What do you mean the Powers still need me? I died here! Hello! I'm supposed to be gone. Death was my gift and I gave the damn gift to my sister!" Buffy told him, very much pissed.
"Well, someone royally fucked up and you need to fix it. As you have already noticed your senses have changed, we did equip you to come into this world. Trance can probably tell you how much if you'd let her into your mind."
"What are you saying I'm not human?" Buffy screamed at him, before he could finish his statement.
"No, but you could probably have Rommi check and make sure. I'm just saying they buffed up your skills that you got as a slayer, so you are faster, stronger, and your sense has increased. You will need them to defeat this foe. Your power will increase the more you practice. Get Trance to help you." Buffy lifted her eyebrow, noting that he kept referring to Trance and realizing that there must be something there. "We did bring some of your clothes, so you will have something to wear, that isn't leather." Buffy sighed in relief, although she liked her guys in leather (except for Riley), she wasn't too keen on wearing it.
"Good luck kid, you are going to need it."
"Wait, what about my friends and Angel?"
"They are dealing, they will move on, like they are supposed to and Angel will find a new love, as will you, but it will never be as strong as yours and his." Whistler told her, before he disappeared. Buffy walked out and found Dylan and Trance waiting for her.
"Captain?"
"Go ahead Rommi."
"There seems to be some more cargo that just appeared in one of the empty rooms." Dylan looked at Buffy and then turned around and started walking to the rooms.
"Thanks Rommi,"
Rooms
Buffy, Trance, and Dylan walked into the room and Buffy gasped in surprise. It was basically her room; her bed, sheets, Mr. Gordo, dresser, and clothes where there. Well at least some of her clothes and shoes.
"What the hell is this?" Dylan asked, no one in particular.
"I have no idea sir, it just sort of appeared." Rommi told him.
"Ya, that would be my fault. Whistler told me he would be leaving some of my stuff here."
"Yes, and why is that and who was he?"
"Uhmm, he told me that I'm supposed to help you and I wouldn't really call him a who, more of an it." Buffy told them, as she began to walk around, she noticed her weapons chest and opened it. She found a sword, a staff, an axe, crossbow, bow and arrows, etc., and one Troll God hammer. Dylan gasped at the amount of weaponry that he saw.
"And what is he and why do you have so many weapons?" Dylan asked, his confusion showing through, he still didn't understand how she was supposed to use them, let alone carry any of them. He attempted to pick up the hammer and found himself unable to, she laughed and picked it up for him.
"Well, Whistler is a demon that works for the Powers that Be, they like to make my life a living hell."
"And what are these Powers that Be," Rommi asked.
"Who knows? God, higher beings, your guess is as good as mine."
"And what are you?"
"Hey! I'm human. I think, at least I used to be, but I don' know anymore. Whistler told me that I still was, but that I should ask you guys just to make sure." She looked at them and hoped there weren't anymore questions for her.
"Uhuh, so let's go do that." She followed them out and down the medic lab, where they promptly drew blood from her and she glared at them. She stayed in there long enough for them to draw blood and then she went to explore the ship with Trance.
"And this is the ships' observation deck." Buffy looked around and saw that there were plants growing, there was space for her to train, without hurting anyone. Over all the ship didn't seem to be that big, although she would get a work out running around it.
"Pretty."
"Trance? Buffy? Can you come back to medical lab, Dylan has the results" Rommi asked and Trance and Buffy took off to med lab, both excited to see the results.
Medical Lab
"And?" Buffy asked, scared that the Powers had lied and she wasn't human anymore.
"As, far as I can figure it is human DNA, it just is more pure than other human DNA. You don't have some of the unnecessary genes that we have, although you do have some strings that I have never seen, but it is human." Harper said, completely confused by her blood.
Buffy smiled in relief and Tyr caught his breath at the sight. He found himself smiling back and Dylan was very confused at this interaction. He had never seen Tyr act this way.
"So, what happened to the other guy?" Buffy asked, she hadn't really liked him, he reminded her too much of Spike.
"He decided to return to his pride for a while." Tyr said, very happy that Charlamagne was gone.
"Oh," Buffy said, uncomfortable with the amount of attention she had on her, "I'm gonna return back to my room."
'And do a little training on the observation deck.' Buffy thought, as she turned around and left.
"I will escort you, wouldn't want you to get lost." Tyr said.
'No wouldn't want that now would we.' Harper thought as he eyed Tyr.
