Interlude: Forgotten Pasts
Eva McGregor
Part: 3/5 1/1
A Buffy the Vampire Slayer/ Star Trek: Enterprise crossover AU
Summery: Malcolm Reed is thrown back in time to help stop an event from changing his future.
Pairing: X/R/M non-slash
Rated: PG-13 because I say so.
Disclaimer: Recovering XanderSpikeoholic, I swear! Nothing to see here. does anyone else think Malcolm's cute? Don't you think as armory officer he should get to fight Hellmouthy demons too? Err.where was I? Buffy is owned by Joss. Lt. Reed and other Star Trek personnel are owned by their masters. All OC characters are owned by me. Duh!
Notes 1: This story is an Interlude meaning it has direct affect on the Ordinary People plot line. This story can stand alone or with something else, just follow notes 2 & 3 for further instruction.
Notes2: (Do these notes seem to be getting longer?) For Buffy: Spike is Xander's real father, Xander's real name is Alexander Andrew Stone, there is no Anya, Oz left sorry, Tara is not long in coming, Riley meets Xander and Spike before Buffy thus the Initiative never gets Spike. Xander's eyes are still Hazel!
Notes 3: For Enterprise: This version is based loosely on the events that might have followed the Nov. 6, 2002 episode, all episodes after are not part of this AU. And it seems Malcolm Reed is a little more excepting of demons then he should be.

Interlude: Forgotten Pasts
Prologue
"The storms commin' really fast cap'n," Commander Tucker shouted over the howling wind, "If we don't seek shelter soon none of us are going to survive."
"Malcolm's still out there!" Captain Archer shouted back, "We can't leave him!"
Trip shook his head, "I wasn't sayin' leave 'em Jon, but what if he's already got shelter? There's no way we can go lookin' anyway."
"We'll stay close," Jon finally shouted back, "If he's out here we can grab him."
Trip nodded and they retreated into the cavern, it wasn't much shelter but it did it's duty and kept the electricity in the air away from them.
"How long until the storm passes?" Jon asked pressing himself against the far wall next to his engineer.
"Last estimated time. thirteen hours." Trip said, "It could be longer."
Captain Archer nodded, "Then we'll just have to hope Malcolm made it to shelter alright."
***
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed scraped along the cliff face desperately trying to reach the cave opening just above him in time. He could already see the magnetic field the storm was causing as it neared him. He could only hope the others had reached shelter in time.
Hand over hand Malcolm moved quickly barely making it inside as the storm hit and electricity filled the air. Malcolm scrambled as far into the cave as he could before collapsing to the ground.
***
He groaned opening gritty eyes as he realized vaguely that at some point he must have lost consciousness. He had no idea how long he had been out, but if he had to judge he would guess it was at least sever or eight hours.
Carefully he picked himself up off the ground brushing himself off and inspected any damages that had been caused. Very little damage had been done although Malcolm wouldn't be wearing his uniform ever again if he had any say in it. Uniforms were annoying anyway.
With a curiosity Mal had not felt since he was a child he made his way to the entrance of the cave. He couldn't get to close, but as close as he was he had a very good view of the storm raging outside. It was a wonder, a sight he had read described by the Sci-Fi writer of a time when even the thought of warp and traveling deep space had been an idea on a writer's paper.
False clouds streamed across the sky emitting long legs of lighting seeming to walk the very earth. Malcolm had always loved lighting when he was younger, even from the large cities of England. This one was no different, just more deadly; this lighting not only struck twice but sought out anything that moved.
If the others hadn't found shelter they wouldn't have survived very long in the storm. Losing Captain Archer and Commander Tucker would be a sad day for Starfleet one that would impact many people, himself included.
But he wasn't going to think about that. He was going to stand here in his temporary prison and watch the storm.
A low growl resounded behind him and Malcolm froze. Slowly he turned around to meet his cell partner and jumped back startled as he caught sight of the wolf like creature. Unfortunately that meant he jumped out of the only protective cover he had. Just as fast he was pummeled by the electrical current in the air.
Malcolm staggered a little as a moment of disorientation washed over him and he was momentarily blind. When his vision cleared he gasped in surprise to find himself in a cemetery not unlike one of the old cemeteries back on Earth. But this was impossible Earth was a few million light years away. Surely he was still on the planet and the storm had just unearthed this place.
.or something like that.
Malcolm didn't recall it being so dark.
Suddenly a creature appeared out of the shadows and lunged at him. Malcolm was caught off guard and had little time to break his fall as he and the fanged creature fell to the ground.
The thing looked humanoid; yet had a ridged brow, yellow eyes, and sharp fangs it was currently trying to lodge them in the armory officer's neck. Malcolm struggled using all of his knowledge to fight but was still over powered by the things greater strength.
Then suddenly the thing vanished in a cloud of dust momentarily blinding him. When the dust cleared Malcolm found himself starring at a kid in his late teens holding a sharp piece of wood.
"You know it's not safe to be out at night in Sunnydale," the teen said "Course obviously you're not from around here."
"No I guess I'm not." Malcolm agreed, "Where is here?"
"Sunnydale, California," the boy said taking in Malcolm's uniform. "US of A, North America.Earth?"
Malcolm's eye bulged, "Good lord what year is it?"
The teen suddenly smiled broadly, "Welcome to the year two- thousand twenty- nine."*
*Special note: I know I said it was year 2000 but I felt more time needed to pass.
