Chapter 2:
Buffy paced the library, she hadn't heard from Spike and Amy; she was beginning to worried. She wasn't worried about Spike of course, but about Amy. She had just about everything working against her, Zombies, tongue demon things, soldiers, and of course don't forget to mention, Spike.
Oz sat in a chair with Blair going back and forth in between him and Angel; Who was also pacing but in a more controlled manner. First he'd go stand behind Xander and see if he made any progress, then he'd go comfort Buffy, next he'd sit down and go back to buffy later. Every once in a while blair would stop his cycle by pouncing on his shoe and chewing on it furiously.
Finally, Spike and Amy burst through the doors and slammed them shut quickly. There were a series of thumps on the door after that but they eventually stopped.
"Hey," Amy said finally turning away from the door.
"So what did you guys find?" Xander asked turning from the computer, actually seeming smart.
"Well, the good news is, there's an antidote, bad news is we don't know where to find it," Amy informed them.
"What do you mean?" Buffy asked eyes wide.
"Just what she bloody said. What do you think she means?" Spike snapped.
"It told you where to find it, but it's not on the bluprints. In the bio- chemical experiments lab, Where ever that is," she explained, not bothering to acknowledge Spike.
"I'll see what else I can find," Xander said turning back to the computer.
Buffy laughed, "I bet both Giles and Will would pay to see this, 'the new updated Xander 8.0,'"
"Oh yeah, by the way this wasn't an accident, It was a scientific experiment," Amy told her.
"What?" Angel looked at her from the chair he was sitting on, "You mean all this was planned?"
"Y'up, they also planned on infecting a few people, letting it spread slightly before they quarantined the city. They purposly left afew people alive, kinda like rats in a maze, but they didn't selectively choose whom they left and who they didn't. They had a specific time frame to clear out people and all those who were left in that time fame, theyleft here," She told them.
"Great, so we're rats now?" Buffy raised an eyebrow.
"Guinea pigs," Spike said simply.
"Yeah well, the guinea pigs are about to fight back," Buffy said. "We need to find this place and break in, get the antidote and get out, chances are some of the people evacuted got infected and it'll probably spread, which isn't good LA's a big city,"
"So how exactly do you plan to this lab; Since it wants to act like Area fifty-one, and, quote unquote 'Not exist?'" Xander asked.
"You can't find it?" Amy asked.
"Not trace, it must require a really high clearance," Xander replied.
"So basically you can't do anything?" Spike asked raising an eyebrow.
"I could beat you with a shovel until you stop moving does that count?" Xander asked only halfway kidding.
"I'll go find the shovel," Amy volunteered.
Spike narrowed his eyes at Xander, "Whatever you say Nancy boy, But chances are, I'd shove it into your bloody spleen as soon as you got within an arms length reach. So go on, try," He challenged him completely ignoring the fact that Amy was willing to give him the shovel.
Xander took a step closer to him before Buffy intervened, "Hey guys? Can you please keep the testosterone in check?" Buffy snapped pulling Xander away from Spike and stepping in between the two. She then glared at Amy, "You could have stopped them from fighting, since you were closer,"
"Why?" she asked simply shrugging, "If Xander wants to beat Spike with a shovel, Who am I to stop him?"
"I thought you two were getting along slightly.maybe just a little" Buffy said
"You shouldn't think so hard, you might hurt yourself," She snapped, then headed toward the door.
"Hey where you going?" Oz said his head immediately snapping up.
"Outside," she said simply.
"Um, yeah, well there are Zombies and those tongue demon things out there, maybe you should." before oz finished his sentence, Amy was out the door and slamming in behind her.
Angel rolled his eyes, "I'll go get her,"
Amy backhanded a zombie, then grabbed it by its head and slammed it into one of the fire stations, shattering the glass. She then, pulled out the fire ax and cut off its head. Zombies still came, so she ran to the gym and slammed the door behind her and locking it. There appeared to be no Zombies in around, she figure the heavy doors kept the, not to bright, Zombies, from getting in. As she turned from the door she heard a loud thump on the door, she glanced back expecting to see Zombies, which is what she saw, well part of one anyways. She saw a headless torso collaspse onto the ground, and Angel stood in front of it. She rolled her eyes and quickly unlocked the door letting him in then shuttting it back and quickly locking the door back.
"What do you want?" Amy said bluntly.
"Are you okay? You've been acting a little, strange," Angel said looking at her as if he was trying to read her mind.
"I'm fine, What would be wrong with me?" she snapped looking away from him.
"I don't know, but, whatever it is you can tell," Angel said gently.
"There's nothing wrong with me I'm fine," Amy said again.
"Are you trying to convince me of that or yourself?" Angel asked.
"Why would I have to convince myself that I'm fine, I know I'm fine but you obviously do know that, but then again you don't really know me, we just met today, remember?" Amy replied.
"I remember," Angel nodded.
"Then how do you know I'm not normally like this," She asked.
"Because, I've seen a lot of people who are normally like that, and you don't seem like one of them, you weren't like this earlier even after you were hit by a truck, so what happened?" Angel explained.
Amy turned away from him, then she said to him slowly cutting each word short yet putting much emphasis into each word, "I. am. fine.,"
Buffy paced the library, she hadn't heard from Spike and Amy; she was beginning to worried. She wasn't worried about Spike of course, but about Amy. She had just about everything working against her, Zombies, tongue demon things, soldiers, and of course don't forget to mention, Spike.
