Author's Notes: If you've noticed, The story is more centered around,
Logan, Buffy and Lilith, because they're the main characters, just in case
you were wondering. By the way thanks for all your feedback, I love ya'll
and to answer someone's question this is around the second season.
Logan:
We were ushered onto an Abnormally large ship, by several armed men. I had to restrain myself from hacking them all to pieces, for the sake of the others, a bullet wouldn't hurt me, but Buffy and Lilith, they were another story. So for now I had to behave.
On the ship, we were assigned five to a room, which we learned would be the same people we'd be sharing a cell with. I only hoped they were people I could put up with, actually I honestly hoped they would be Orora, Xavier, or even Scott. Yes, though I wouldn't admit it under oath, even Scott would be preferable to most people.
We were not so nicely shoved into a room which contained five cots, and two others already sitting near the back. The door was shut promptly. The room, was obviously not made for five people, maybe three, but it fit us all. Much to my dismay I recognized one of the two people in the room.
"Mystique," I growled.
Mystique offered a half smile. Ironically, the other person seemed to recognize Buffy.
"Slayer, What the bloody hell are you doing here?" The bleached blonde vampire said.
"Taking a lovely Vacation Cruise what do you think I'm doing here?" Buffy demanded, "This is just great, but there's no use arguing, and that goes for you too, Logan.and Mystique was it? We're stuck with each other we're going to have to deal with each other,"
"She has a point," Mystique said bluntly, then sat down on a cot.
I shrugged and did the same choosing one far on the opposite side of her. Lilith had sat down in a corner, silently pulling her knees to her chest, she intently stared at nothing.
Buffy sat down beside me and looked between me and Lilith.
"Think she'll be okay?" she asked me.
"I don't know," I said honestly I didn't know what to do, I could break out of here, but where would I go, we're in the water.
The Vampire sat down across from us, I noticed that Buffy stiffened up immediately, "What Spike?" she demanded.
SPIKE:
As I sat across from Buffy I couldn't help it, she was there, and she couldn't kill me so I said, "So I was thinking, they don't I'm a Vampire, They try and feed me some crap, so the girl, she's quiet no one notices she's there would you miss her if I just happened to eat her?"
Buffy narrowed eyes "If you touch her." she was cut off when the guy next to her swiftly grabbed me by the throat and slammed me into the wall. He was faster than I thought, I had to remember to be careful around him.
"If you even come within ten feet of the girl, I'll rip out your spleen before I cut off your head," he threatened, but at the time I didn't take his threat seriously, after all he was just as unarmed as the rest of us right.
I laughed, then pried his hand off my neck, "The truth of the matter is, if I wanted to hurt the girl there's nothing you could do to stop me."
He looked at me his eyes full of anger, "Nothing?" there was a 'snict' noise, as three metal claws sprung from the back of his hands.
Oops, I thought. At that time I knew I just made a mistake, but I covered up my surprise, "Well that's just.neat." I said.
He growled, but the girl who'd been on the floor until this point put herself in between the two of us and faced him.
"Logan," She said carefully, She placed a hand on his shoulder and gently pushed him down onto the cot, "Its okay, he wasn't serious, in fact he was just trying to get a reaction out of her,"
"Of course I was serious, do you have any idea who I am? Wait do you have Any Idea what I am?" I said after all I had a reputation to maintain.
She looked at me but didn't response for a long moment then without any hint of sarcasm that I've come to expect she said, "Yes, I do, and I know that you weren't serious but I also know that you would,"
Even as she said that I could hear the hint of fear that had crept into her voice, it was sudden, unexpected, but welcomed. Though I couldn't think of a witty come back so I simply said, "Good,"
She turned back to Logan, "You need to watch you temper, here it's not safe to loose your temper, " she told him.
He looked at her oddly, but didn't ask what she meant, though personally I wanted to know what she'd meant by that, I made a note to remember to ask her.
LILITH:
I ran my hand through my hair I knew this was going to be a long trip, Spike and Logan's personality totally clashed. Now that I realized exactly what the whole deal was with Buffy and the Vampire thing was, well at least I had an idea, I knew that it was Buffy's instinct to kill him, plus it seemed they had history. Plus the whole Mystique and Logan thing may not work out to well either, but Mystique had smartly choose to stay quiet. I was thankful for that.
After a while a group of Soldiers came in, they herded us along with several other mutants down to a large area on deck, which had twice as many armed men than mutants. Apparently they were giving us time to speak with the other mutants. Logan took that time to find the others, I mentally scanned the Place for Xavier, he was on the ship but wasn't with the group on deck, and I couldn't pin point him exactly. I took a spot near the railing and looked blankly into the water, which caused all nearby soldiers to watch me carefully, afraid I would jump in I guess. I saw a few trying to jump in.
All the really dangerous mutants either were kept below deck or had some sort of physical restraint on them to keep them from using their powers. Orora wasn't even on deck, with all this water she could stir up a storm big enough to tip this whole ship.
I noticed someone was behind me, I didn't turn around, I knew who it was, Spike.
"So love, what's your story? Your quiet, and seem slightly anti-social," he said.
I only looked at him for a long second, "What do you really want to know?"
"All right fair enough, You said earlier, that this wasn't a safe place to loose your temper what did you mean?" he asked me.
"These people," I paused unsure of how to say it, "regardless of what you think of these agents or soldiers or.whatever you want to called them, they're dangerous, I can feel it, more dangerous than you'd ever think,"
He nodded but didn't really understand, "So seriously though what is your deal love? You seem to have this frighteningly accurate, intuition, but I think its more than that isn't it?"
I nodded, "I'm tele-empathic, Meaning I can read people's feelings and sometimes the thoughts behind them, I can also manipulate the feelings of others and project my own feelings into others minds, but I don't have much control over it"
"Interesting," he said now pacing around me to the other side and back again, I mentally kept track of where he was.
"So, love, What's your name?" he asked.
"Lilith," I told him reluctantly, but I was after all, going to be rooming with him, "but call me Lil,"
"I'm Spike.if you hadn't figured that out all ready." he said Idly as he stopped for second behind me than continued on with the pacing.
"Spike? That's not your real name is it?" I asked Idly but as I'd soon find out I'd regret saying anything.
"No, it's really not, actually it's William, but if you call me that I'll slit your throat," he said, "You know why they call me Spike?" he asked stopping behind me again, then he Idly began playing with my hair which bothered me to no end and I think he knew it.
"No, but I have a feeling you're going to tell me," I replied, then attempted to pull away from him but it didn't work.
"I used to shove rail road spikes into the heads of my victims," he said.
I drew in a sharp breath, as I realized just what kind of animal I was dealing with here, I mean I'd read him before, what I got from him, was nothing compared to what I got from him now.
"Spike?" called an unfamiliar voice from behind, "Now what I'm wondering is how long have you been walking?" {Author's Note: Note that in the second season Spike was in a wheel chair}
"Angelus, How nice to see you." Spike said with obvious sarcasm.
"Whose your friend?" Angelus asked.
As I read him, what I got from him was even more disturbing, the guy was a literal Sociopath. I intently stared at the reflection of the moon in the water.
"Down boy the Slayer's on board.Where's Dru?" he asked, with sudden concern, and to my relief he let go of my hair.
"She got away," he said, "The Slayer huh? This could be fun after all."
Fun? I thought, For who, even I couldn't hold back my comment, "Fun?" I said quietly as usual, "If being treated like an animal is your idea of fun then your definition of it is pretty askew, but if the shoe fits." I stopped myself not even believing what I'd just said to him.
He laughed, "Who is this girl Spike?" he said as he placed a hand around my neck, he didn't put any pressure on my neck but the fact is I knew that he could kill me and that was the point, having his cold dead hand around my throat scared the crap out of me.
Buffy:
"Angelus, let her go, or you're going for a swim, and at the size of this boat, you'd get sucked under and chopped up in the propellers," I snapped though I was thoroughly bothered to see him here.
"Hey Lover, long time no see, she's not a friend of yours is she?" he asked, his grip tightening around her throat.
Beside me I had Scott clinging to my shoulder, they'd taken away his glasses so he was now forced to walked around with his eyes closed, I guess as a safety measure but little did they know how dangerous that really was. Somewhere along the line I'd lost Logan, but I wished he was here now.
"I'll find him," Lilith choked out.
At first I didn't understand, she couldn't go anywhere, but her eyes seemed to stare at nothing in particular. I knew what she was doing well, kind of.
"Okay I'm lost here," Angelus said "Wanna help me out?"
"She probably read what the slayer was feeling or whatever," Spike said.
As he said that Logan was behind me, "'bout time you showed up," I muttered.
"Let her go," he snarled.
"And you would be.?" Angelus asked an eyebrow raised.
"Someone you probably don't want to piss off," Scott said speaking up.
"Really?" Angelus said, his grip tightening on Lilith's throat.
Lilith now began to pull at his hand and wrist but it did no good, I guess the lack of air was getting to her. Then suddenly Angelus let go with a growled and clutched his head in pain. Lilith sunk to the ground nearly falling over board, but much to everyone's surprise, Spike caught her.
Logan pounced on Angelus and sunk his claws into his stomach, with his free hand he held him by the neck and slammed him up against the railing, nearly throwing him over board.
"If you ever, lay your hands on her again, I'll." he was cut off by the familiar cocking of guns.
"Halt! Release him now! You five, come with us now!" An armed guard snapped.
Logan reluctantly let him go, Lilith was now clinging to Buffy.
The guard gestured toward; Angelus, Spike, Logan, Lilith and Me, "I said come with me!"
"I can't leave Scott alone, he can't open his eyes," I said sharply.
"Fine, he can come, all of you move it now!" The guard said as four more surrounded them, and herded them below deck, Angelus now clutching his wound.
We entered a room which looked like a classroom with a two way mirror instead of a chalkboard. Maybe, more like an interrogation room with, a large desk and a whole bunch of chairs.
"Have a seat," We were ordered which we all promptly did so, "Someone will be with you shortly,"
The guy shut and locked the door.
"What did you do to me?" Angelus demanded vamping out in anger.
Lilith was sitting by Logan but Logan had protectively put himself between Lilith and Angelus, actually, he put himself between everyone and Lilith.
"I over loaded your nervous system with pain," she said quietly.
Angelus narrowed his, but before he could respond, A tall dark hair guy entered the room. His hair was long; thick and pulled back into a pony tail. He wore all black civilian clothes.
"I'm lieutenant Jack Mckeen, and I'm guessing you guys are the troublemakers," he asked raising an eyebrow, "I don't tolerate them, at all."
"Your not the one with a hole in your stomach now are you, let him stab you and then we can talk about toleration, your lucky him and the girl are still alive and kicking," Angelus snapped.
"You're lucky I didn't take off your head you son of a." Logan started.
"HEY!" Jack yelled, "Shut it, before I shut it for you!"
Five guards came in each taking a position, behind one of us excluding Scott.
"You will speak only when spoken to," Mckeen said calmly, he looked at Lilith, "Wanna tell me want happened?"
Lilith looked at him claming up, she subconsciously put a hand to her neck which was red. The guard behind her nudged her with the butt of his gun. "Answer him," he commanded.
I could literally see Logan restraining himself but I didn't know how long he could keep it up.
"Spike and I were talking and then he came, I said something I probably should've kept to myself and he grabbed my throat, Buffy came and told him to let me go, and he started strangling me, I found Logan and brought him to us and." Mckeen cut Lilith off.
"If he was strangling you how did you go and find him?" he demanded.
"I didn't go anywhere, I didn't have to, in fact Logan probably thinks he found us," Lilith said looking at Logan for confirmation.
He only nodded, though I'm not sure if he understood what she'd meant.
"Okay skip all that what happened, to him, why did he let go?" Mckeen asked slightly more gentle.
"I over loaded his nervous system with an intolerable amount of pain, then he let go," she replied.
"Okay the wounds?" he asked.
She stopped talking reluctant to say anything, probably because she didn't want Logan to get into trouble. She looked at Logan who nodded, signaling her to go on.
"Logan kind of Stabbed him," Lilith said lowering her voice even more.
"Kind of?" Angelus snarled, his vampiric face apparently not visible to Mckeen from the front of the room, The guard behind him hit him in the back of the head, the guard apparently didn't notice his demonic appearance either, because when he turned around and growled at him, the guy visibly paled, and practically jumped two feet of the ground.
Mckeen rolled his eyes, "After he'd let go?"
She fell silent, Logan nodded to answer his question, "And I'd do the same to you if you'd tried to kill her,"
Mckeen raised an eyebrow at that but didn't reply. He looked to Spike, "And where were you during this, you didn't help either of them, William?"
"It's Spike," he snapped, "And no I didn't I wasn't about to take sides, Angelus pisses me off so what if he dies.and plus yeah not to anxious to get stabbed myself mate, but I wasn't about to side with the bloody Sla.Buffy,"
I looked at Spike hard, he'd almost slipped, I would've had to stake him if he wouldn't have caught himself.
"Liam, Want to tell me why I shouldn't put you in solitary confinement," He asked, calling Angelus by a name that I'd never heard.
"What'd you just call me?" he demanded.
"By your name." Jack said slowly clearly not understanding the problem.
Angelus stood up, his face catching the light, "Liam's been dead for 223 yrs. boy, I'm Angelus and you'd do very good to remember that,"
I suddenly realized that he'd just called him by his human name, which in the vampire book, was a big mistake, because after the first couple of decades, most of the important vampires change their name.
Mckeen was speechless for an entire 10 seconds, "Sit down unless you three clips of ammo pumped into you,"
Angelus smiled then sat down, "and I was just bored, I had to do something, plus I'm kinda hungry, she looked like a tasty snack,"
SPIKE:
"So What?" I asked as a hint of amusement played at the corners of my mouth, "Do we get a check mark by are names?"
"No if we do it again, he'll call our parents." Buffy smirked.
"I killed my parents," Angelus stated.
Mckeen's eyes narrowed, "No this means if you cause any trouble again and get caught.You'll be killed, and used as an example,"
"You can't do that," Buffy all but hissed.
"Yes Ms. Summers I can, I'm the government I can do anything," he stated as a matter-of-factly.
He was a pompous git, made me want to rip out his throat, which was an urge I had a hard time resisting, and apparently the girl knew it, Lil, I think her name was. She was looking at me hard, her face seemed to heed a warning. I locked eyes with her a minute, let her feel my utter anger, let her know exactly what I'd do to this guy when I got the chance. I could literally see her stiffen in fear, and she quickly averted her eyes. That fear, gave me a slight bit of satisfaction but in the end my anger was stronger.
Buffy was blissfully quiet after that but I knew she was angry, her jaw was clamped shut, and her eyes cold and fixed on nothing in particular. That guy with the claws was also quiet, though her normally was, the silence was different almost tangible, and the look on his face was easily recognized as a look that promised death to whoever crossed him.
After they'd shoved us back into our nice little rooms, we were silent in there, Lil had taken her spot on the floor again. Buffy lay on her cot staring up at the ceiling, Logan too, but every once in awhile he'd flick a glance over at Lil but she didn't seem to notice, her gaze seemed distant, or maybe vacant. At the time though I was highly aware of where everyone was in the room though I lay on my own cot, Mystique was laying with her eyes closed on her cot, not sleep, but it would appear that way to most people. All I knew was I could smell their blood, I was starving I hadn't eaten in over 48 hours. I was just barely resisting the urge to jump up off my cot and grabbed Lilith and drain her dryer than the bloody Sahara desert. Her, because she was the least likely to fight back, though the most likely to provoke a reaction from the others if I did try to kill her. I unintentionally Vamped out, getting up off my cot I angrily rammed my fist into the wall, though after an inch of wood I hit metal, which didn't break but instead dented slightly.
Everyone's eyes turned on me, except for Lil's her eyes still stared at nothing.
"What the Hell is your problem?" Logan demanded sitting up.
I only looked at him, through my feral yellow eyes, but I didn't even bother giving him a response, I just growled. He raised a single eyebrow.
"Wanna translate Neanderthal speak or are we supposed to just guess?" Buffy tossed, off sitting up.
I wanted to tear open her throat. Lilith finally looked up, her eyes now focused on me, I could see the terror run through her which made me want to bite her even more.
"He needs food," she said as if it were a simple solution.
"You haven't eaten anything since you've been in here," Mystique stated.
Buffy almost laughed, if she didn't have to worry about the fact that at any moment I was liable to attack anyone of them, "He needs blood," she informed the woman.
Mystique cocked her head to the side but didn't question her any farther instead she said, "You can use Logan, he'll heal,"
With a 'snict' three claws, sprung out of the back of his hand, "You can try,"
I ignored them both, I couldn't stand it much more, I could literally smell Lil's blood coursing through her veins, I smell her fear, I could hear her breathing increase with her panic. I grabbed her as a new vampire would grab for the first living body it smelled. Before anyone had time to react I bit her, drinking in her sweet blood. Logan, Buffy and Mystique were on their feet Logan's claws unsheathed. Luckily in my animalistic rage, I stopped drinking before I took too much blood. Lilith was still conscious but barely, though I didn't dare drop her to the floor, that would give them a clear shot at me and I wasn't about to let that happen.
"Let her go," Logan growled in a low threatening voice.
"I'm sure he will, even though he knows as soon as he does, your claws will be through his neck," Mystique said bluntly. She seemed intrigued by the whole situation.

"What did you do to me?" Angelus demanded vamping out in anger.
Lilith was sitting by Logan but Logan had protectively put himself between Lilith and Angelus, actually, he put himself between everyone and Lilith.
"I over loaded your nervous system with pain," she said quietly.
Angelus narrowed his, but before he could respond, A tall dark hair guy entered the room. His hair was long; thick and pulled back into a pony tail. He wore all black civilian clothes.
"I'm lieutenant Jack Mckeen, and I'm guessing you guys are the troublemakers," he asked raising an eyebrow, "I don't tolerate them, at all."
"Your not the one with a hole in your stomach now are you, let him stab you and then we can talk about toleration, your lucky him and the girl are still alive and kicking," Angelus snapped.
"You're lucky I didn't take off your head you son of a." Logan started.
"HEY!" Jack yelled, "Shut it, before I shut it for you!"
Five guards came in each taking a position, behind one of us excluding Scott.
"You will speak only when spoken to," Mckeen said calmly, he looked at Lilith, "Wanna tell me want happened?"
Lilith looked at him claming up, she subconsciously put a hand to her neck which was red. The guard behind her nudged her with the butt of his gun. "Answer him," he commanded.
I could literally see Logan restraining himself but I didn't know how long he could keep it up.
"Spike and I were talking and then he came, I said something I probably should've kept to myself and he grabbed my throat, Buffy came and told him to let me go, and he started strangling me, I found Logan and brought him to us and." Mckeen cut Lilith off.
"If he was strangling you how did you go and find him?" he demanded.
"I didn't go anywhere, I didn't have to, in fact Logan probably thinks he found us," Lilith said looking at Logan for confirmation.
He only nodded, though I'm not sure if he understood what she'd meant.
"Okay skip all that what happened, to him, why did he let go?" Mckeen asked slightly more gentle.
"I over loaded his nervous system with an intolerable amount of pain, then he let go," she replied.
"Okay the wounds?" he asked.
She stopped talking reluctant to say anything, probably because she didn't want Logan to get into trouble. She looked at Logan who nodded, signaling her to go on.
"Logan kind of Stabbed him," Lilith said lowering her voice even more.
"Kind of?" Angelus snarled, his vampiric face apparently not visible to Mckeen from the front of the room, The guard behind him hit him in the back of the head, the guard apparently didn't notice his demonic appearance either, because when he turned around and growled at him, the guy visibly paled, and practically jumped two feet of the ground.
Mckeen rolled his eyes, "After he'd let go?"
She fell silent, Logan nodded to answer his question, "And I'd do the same to you if you'd tried to kill her,"
Mckeen raised an eyebrow at that but didn't reply. He looked to Spike, "And where were you during this, you didn't help either of them, William?"
"It's Spike," he snapped, "And no I didn't I wasn't about to take sides, Angelus pisses me off so what if he dies.and plus yeah not to anxious to get stabbed myself mate, but I wasn't about to side with the bloody Sla.Buffy,"
I looked at Spike hard, he'd almost slipped, I would've had to stake him if he wouldn't have caught himself.
"Liam, Want to tell me why I shouldn't put you in solitary confinement," He asked, calling Angelus by a name that I'd never heard.
"What'd you just call me?" he demanded.
"By your name." Jack said slowly clearly not understanding the problem.
Angelus stood up, his face catching the light, "Liam's been dead for 223 yrs. boy, I'm Angelus and you'd do very good to remember that,"
I suddenly realized that he'd just called him by his human name, which in the vampire book, was a big mistake, because after the first couple of decades, most of the important vampires change their name.
Mckeen was speechless for an entire 10 seconds, "Sit down unless you three clips of ammo pumped into you,"
Angelus smiled then sat down, "and I was just bored, I had to do something, plus I'm kinda hungry, she looked like a tasty snack,"
SPIKE:
"So What?" I asked as a hint of amusement played at the corners of my mouth, "Do we get a check mark by are names?"
"No if we do it again, he'll call our parents." Buffy smirked.
"I killed my parents," Angelus stated.
Mckeen's eyes narrowed, "No this means if you cause any trouble again and get caught.You'll be killed, and used as an example,"
"You can't do that," Buffy all but hissed.
"Yes Ms. Summers I can, I'm the government I can do anything," he stated as a matter-of-factly.
He was a pompous git, made me want to rip out his throat, which was an urge I had a hard time resisting, and apparently the girl knew it, Lil, I think her name was. She was looking at me hard, her face seemed to heed a warning. I locked eyes with her a minute, let her feel my utter anger, let her know exactly what I'd do to this guy when I got the chance. I could literally see her stiffen in fear, and she quickly averted her eyes. That fear, gave me a slight bit of satisfaction but in the end my anger was stronger.
Buffy was blissfully quiet after that but I knew she was angry, her jaw was clamped shut, and her eyes cold and fixed on nothing in particular. That guy with the claws was also quiet, though her normally was, the silence was different almost tangible, and the look on his face was easily recognized as a look that promised death to whoever crossed him.
After they'd shoved us back into our nice little rooms, we were silent in there, Lil had taken her spot on the floor again. Buffy lay on her cot staring up at the ceiling, Logan too, but every once in awhile he'd flick a glance over at Lil but she didn't seem to notice, her gaze seemed distant, or maybe vacant. At the time though I was highly aware of where everyone was in the room though I lay on my own cot, Mystique was laying with her eyes closed on her cot, not sleep, but it would appear that way to most people. All I knew was I could smell their blood, I was starving I hadn't eaten in over 48 hours. I was just barely resisting the urge to jump up off my cot and grabbed Lilith and drain her dryer than the bloody Sahara desert. Her, because she was the least likely to fight back, though the most likely to provoke a reaction from the others if I did try to kill her. I unintentionally Vamped out, getting up off my cot I angrily rammed my fist into the wall, though after an inch of wood I hit metal, which didn't break but instead dented slightly.
Everyone's eyes turned on me, except for Lil's her eyes still stared at nothing.
"What the Hell is your problem?" Logan demanded sitting up.
I only looked at him, through my feral yellow eyes, but I didn't even bother giving him a response, I just growled. He raised a single eyebrow.
"Wanna translate Neanderthal speak or are we supposed to just guess?" Buffy tossed, off sitting up.
I wanted to tear open her throat. Lilith finally looked up, her eyes now focused on me, I could see the terror run through her which made me want to bite her even more.
"He needs food," she said as if it were a simple solution.
"You haven't eaten anything since you've been in here," Mystique stated.
Buffy almost laughed, if she didn't have to worry about the fact that at any moment I was liable to attack anyone of them, "He needs blood," she informed the woman.
Mystique cocked her head to the side but didn't question her any farther instead she said, "You can use Logan, he'll heal,"
With a 'snict' three claws, sprung out of the back of his hand, "You can try,"
I ignored them both, I couldn't stand it much more, I could literally smell Lil's blood coursing through her veins, I smell her fear, I could hear her breathing increase with her panic. I grabbed her as a new vampire would grab for the first living body it smelled. Before anyone had time to react I bit her, drinking in her sweet blood. Logan, Buffy and Mystique were on their feet Logan's claws unsheathed. Luckily in my animalistic rage, I stopped drinking before I took too much blood. Lilith was still conscious but barely, though I didn't dare drop her to the floor, that would give them a clear shot at me and I wasn't about to let that happen.
"Let her go," Logan growled in a low threatening voice.
"I'm sure he will, even though he knows as soon as he does, your claws will be through his neck," Mystique said bluntly. She seemed intrigued by the whole situation.
