Rise of the Juggernaut

Any further talk about the rogue slayer was halted until everyone
was called and made to come over to Buffy's house as soon as they
could. The news did hurry them all along.

"Awake? What do they mean awake? Do people just wake up from a coma
like poof, hey I'm awake." Willow's worried ramblings had been all
anyone had said.

Buffy and Riley had at once taken off to the hospital. Which left
the witches, the powerhouse of a mutant, and a worried mother. Giles
had gone home to call 'The Council.'

"Just calm down Wills. Buffy will tell us when she gets back." But
Willow was just too worried to listen. "She's dangerous and insane!
Buffy should have let you come with her." Buffy had thought it
better not to bring Xander with her. If Faith was better she didn't
want to scare her. And if she was still dangerous Buffy didn't want
to clue the rogue slayer into everything yet.

"She knows what she's doing," just then Buffy and Riley walked
in, "and here they are." Buffy looked worried. Riley who had never
met Faith didn't look as scared as he should be.

"Faith, she knocked out a girl and took her clothing. She could be
anywhere." With a defeated air about herself she sat down in the
nearest chair. "I...I wished she had changed. After the dream when
she warned me about the mayor I thought she had."

"So we saddle up and go hunting?" Riley looked far too happy about
all this. Maybe it was the chance to test himself against a slayer
that wouldn't hold back for his sake. Which was pretty damn
stupid. "No, you're still hurt. Xander and I will go looking for
her. You all help Giles."

Adam had poked Riley in the side with his spiked arm a few days
back. So Riley wasn't at one hundred percent yet, and even if he
were Buffy wouldn't have let him come anyway.

"Come on, she's just one gal." The Ohio born soldier didn't know
what all the fuss was about.

"And the fact that you just called Faith a gal just makes it even
more obvious that you don't know her."

"She's just one girl that just woke up from a nine month coma." Male
pride made it hard for him to let his girlfriend go out to fight the
bad guys without him.

"She's not a girl. She's a slayer." And that was that, Buffy refused
to hear anymore about it.

"Hey Tara, toss me my helmet." Xander said with a smirk. It was a
long going joke between the two. The blond witch once tried to pick
up his large black helmet and bring it to him only to fall on her
butt from the weight of it.

Tara's response was to chunk a roll at his head. "Ouch, why you
wicked witch." He walked over and grabbed his helmet and put it on
and then Willow clasped it up for him.

Then he pointed his finger playfully at the shy witch, "You and I
will talk about this need to hit me with bread rolls later."

Then they were gone.
