PAIRING: Not yet. This is going to be long though (consider that a
warning!) and
will take in S/A, W/T, F/A, B/S (on Spike's part, anyhow), S/D (though only in a
patriarchal way, fluffy even!) and probably more...
RATING: PG maybe? Not much excitement in this bit :) Series will be at least UK
15 though.
WHEN: After Season 5 finale. About a fortnight after Willow goes to Angel, if
we're looking for precise.
SPOILERS: For everything including and especially the end of Season 5.
DISTRIBUTION: Will be on my site:
fairly soon.
Anywhere else,fine, go ahead! Would appreciate it
if you let me know where :)
SUMMARY: Spike has a visit from Angel, who tells him he needs his help for a
purpose closer to Spike's heart than he would like to admit.
NOTES: When Angel speaks, he has a " - " before his words. Don't know why, it kind of happened that way... Faith has "s around her words. Spike has nothing. Other characters will have a single speechmark ('). Please, bear with me!
May contradict things going on in Angel the Series. I apologise.
This is going to be a long fic - I have so much to write! CREDIT: My girlfriend for all her input :) Also to Sovereign for the idea about
Faith and her visions...
_______________________________Resurrection: Chapter 1 of many
So...Faith. I've er, heard a lot about you.
"Well hey, that must be nice. Do I make for a good story? Let me guess, you've
heard about the walking, talking slut who likes to kill people with her spare
time? The sadistic bitch who, at the same time, ought to be pitied by everyone
and anyone because she's oh, so alone? And overall, about a wreck of a girl in
trousers that are too damn tight. Did I miss anything?"
No love - think you got it all just fine. Don't happen to have any smokes
tucked away in that. strappy thing?
Faith gave him a look.
Just as well I came prepared then.
Spike removed a pack of Silk Cut from his jacket, and carefully selected one to
consume.
"So you got all the info on me, but what the hell are you here for?
What exactly are you bringing to this whole resurrection thing?"
Oh, I'm just here for the ride. I haven't the faintest idea about this "whole
resurrection thing", if you want an answer, better ask the silent one in front
of me (he nodded at Angel). He's the one that disrupted my beauty sleep to drag
me in here.
"You generally have your beauty sleep with a faceful of blood and dirt?
Whatever. Hey, you - "
She reached out and swiped at Angel's shoulder.
"what's he doing here? I mean, he's cute and all, but is there any
purpose to this? Or is he - "
she ran her hand over Spike's knee
"just a bit of entertainment for the ride?"
- Put the boy down Faith. And if you want to get there
alive, you'll keep your hands off me while I drive. And when I'm not driving,
for that matter.
Faith pouted, almost to herself.
If we've got all this time to spare, can you just answer the girl's
question and tell me what's goin' on?
- Can neither of you hold tight for a bit? Willow can explain far better
than I would, and it will save time if we only have to go through it once. Get
some rest.
Willow? What's the little witch got to do all this? She going to
conjure our slayer back into existence? It'll take a bit more than a few fancy
words and a quick "poof!" to.
- Spike -
Angel turned to face him
- shut the hell up.
Spike's terrified expression pleased Angel, until, turning back, he realised
they were about to crash dramatically into a small spinney.
____________
Spike awoke with a start when Angel slowed by an unfamiliar building.
"This it? What we waiting for?"
She jumped out of the car before it had even stopped. Spike followed suit, and
caught up with Faith. Faith walked straight up to the door of the place and,
without pausing, kicked it open. She nearly kicked into Willow, who stood just
the opposite side of it.
'Faith! Uh.hi, couldn't you have knocked?'
"Sorry Red, guess I didn't see you there. Cosy little place you - don't - have
here."
The room they walked into was large, empty and damp, in the manner of a disused
warehouse. Some attempt at furnishing had been made, as rugs and cushions were
scattered about, amongst the piles and piles of books and paper.
Someone's been hard at work. Only - don't quite see how.
He picked something up and turned it over
.this week's "Smash Hits" is going to help us.
'Hey!'
a voice came from some other part of the building. Footsteps sounded and Spike
looked up to see Dawn run in.
'That's mine, give it back!'
She went to wrestle it from Spike, flushing slightly as he held it up just out
of her grasp, teasing her with a grin on his face.
"Yeah, cute, but I'm not here to have my heart melted. Quit with
the horseplay and let's get on?"
Willow looked worried.
'Faith, we don't even know what we're doing yet. This is going to
take some time. It's all.oh, hey, Angel.'
Angel nodded his greeting.
- I think we need to sit down and talk. There's a lot of
things we need to sort out, and a lot that needs to be told. We may not have
much time; I suggest we start now.
'Okay - uh, Dawn, can you go and uh, help Tara with her.
'No! I want to stay! You said this involves me too and she's MY
sis.was.my.sister.'
Dawn broke off her torrent, choking back a sob. Willow looked distressed and
turned to the others for help. Hearing the commotion, Tara came through from
some other part of the building.
'Dawn, come with me to.'
'But I can help.'
'I know. That's why you need to come with me just now. there's a
couple of things you need to do for us.'
Dawn's face cleared at the thought of actually being involved, and she went
willingly with Tara who, as she left, gave Willow a look as if to say 'okay,
I'll keep her out of the way for now.'
__________
Willow sat nervously on a cushion, several weighty tomes in front of her. Faith
and Spike were draped, similarly unceremoniously, around the room. Angel stood
in a corner of the room, occasionally pacing one way or the other.
'So, uh, this is what we know at the moment. we, or rather Faith
has been, or rather, Angel said that Cordelia.okay.does anyone else want to
start this? Angel?'
- Story is that Cordelia came to me saying she'd seen Faith
in trouble.
Faith went to object, but Angel raised his hand to silence her. Strangely
enough, she held her tongue.
- Said she'd had a vision of Faith having headaches,
leading to some kind of fit, her screaming away about Buffy and all this crazy
stuff, and of the council when they heard of this, deciding to
take her into their own hands. From what she could work out, we had to somehow
get her to us, or at all costs away from the council, and find out
exactly what she was seeing. Too long to tell how it all worked out, but when we
got Faith back, even we weren't expecting what she told us. Faith,
you want to pick up here?
