Chapter 24
Janet rushed to Giles, checking his pulse and calling for a stretcher, Jack took the blade from his lax fingers and stood back as he was loaded up and taken away. Willow and Tara were also rushed from the room leaving Buffy and William trailing in their wake.
"Buffy, William.wait"
"Jack we have to go, they could be hurt"
Jack moved to Buffy, throwing an arm around her shoulders and squeezing her reassuringly.
"We got the best doc's in the world here, they'll be fine, and besides Janet wont let you in"
Buffy frowned but looked resigned to waiting, Jack drew her and William back out the door towards the briefing room as Sam, Teal'c and the General joined them.
"Well I've got to say, I never believed in magic until now..seeing is certainly believing"
Sam smiled at the General, "I know how you feel sir, it's amazing isn't it"
They sat down at the big table and General Hammond called an aide and asked for refreshments to be brought in. The group sat silently for a moment, each lost in thought, until coffee arrived and they sipped at their drinks. William took the blade from Jack and silently stared at it, his chain and spike were embedded into the flat of the blade. It felt warm in his hand like it had a life of its own, he could not help but hope that this was the answer to his prayers. The door behind him opened and he saw Buffy's smile and turned around to see Giles, Willow and Tara escorted into the room by Doctor Frasier. He also smiled in relief at seeing his friends were recovered from their exertions.
"Good to see you again Mr Giles, ladies, I take it they have a clean bill of health doctor?"
"Yes Sir, they're quite recovered, I'll take my leave now and wish you all good luck"
The group thanked Doctor Frasier with smiles and nods before she left the room, Jack swung back to face the General.
"We'd best be on our way too general, permission to leave sir?"
"Certainly Colonel, oh and by the way...can that portal be activated into this facility again?"
Giles nodded, "Any magician with skill enough would be able to enter this facility quite easily" he held up his hand as the general started in surprise. " Yet I find it hard to believe that any magician would know about the stargate. If after we have defeated Nefu we can return and cast wards around the base that will deter any arcane entry."
The general look relieved and smiled at Giles " We would appreciate the help Mr Giles"
"We best get going to LA and then go on to Sunnydale"
Jack reached for the phone and handed it to Giles who quickly dialled Wesley's number and made the arrangements. The group stood and made their way back down to the gateroom, standing back until the portal re- established itself on the wall. Buffy, Giles, Tara and Willow quickly walked through followed by Sam and Teal'c. Jack stood for a moment looking at General Hammond then swiftly saluted and disappeared through the portal. As soon as he stepped through it collapsed and he looked around, all his companions were waiting with the exception of William.
"Ok we ready to move on, where's William?"
Buffy inclined her head towards the kitchen, "He's eating?'
Jack widened his eyes " Does he have to do that now?"
Giles sighed and fixed the impatient man with a stern glare.
"William can't bring himself to consume blood and he needs it to make him stronger, so Spike has been called forward."
Jack went to move toward the kitchen but Buffy cut him off,
"You don't want to go in there, vampire's feeding can be pretty messy"
"I thought you said that he needed human blood?"
"He does, but because Angel is Spike's sire his blood is more potent, it will give him more strength than just human blood"
Giles wearily took off his glasses and polished them "Unfortunately Angel may not be able to give him all he needs," he gestured to the remaining group " We are still feeling the effects of the magic and Buffy needs to conserve her own strength for the upcoming battles"
Jack kept walking he heard Buffy's "Don't say I didn't warn you" ringing in his ears as he stepped into the other room. It didn't prepare him for what he saw, William - Spike was wrapped in Angel's arms, his fangs sunk into the taller man's throat. Both men were shirtless and Angel's eyes were closed as he rubbed himself against his childe. The pale marble skin caught Jack's attention, the muscles moving slightly as the blonde fed noisily from his sire's neck. The colonel leaned up against the bench at the sensual sight of the two men, his breathing quickening as his body became aroused. Angel's golden eyes snapped open though he kept moving against Spike, he locked them with Jacks and smiled slightly as he sniffed the air. Jack groaned and Spike heard him, pulling away he turned in his sire's arms and beckoned Jack to him. Jack moved towards them in a daze, stepping up to William and tilting his head, offering his throat. Angel's arms tightened around Spike and his voice was low and husky,
"Spike, does he know what he's doing?'
Jack's eyes found Angel's and he smiled, "I need to do this, he's my only hope to get Daniel back," his eyes shifted to confront Spikes " if you need blood you can have mine."
"Can you bite him Spike?"
"Oh yeah, witches and his girl got rid o' me chip, so I promised Xan I wouldn't kill anyone that didn't try and kill me. Gotta admit fresh blood would be good, I cant take too much of yours peaches. And since Jack's offerin' it'd be rude not to take it, but I don't intend to drain him dry."
"I wasn't offering to let you"
Spike smiled wolfishly, "Got better things to do with you mate than turn you into a corpse"
Jack shuddered as Spike's hand ran down the outside of his arm pulling him close enough to feel the hardness in the vampire's jeans. Cool fingers deftly undid his shirt and he felt Angels hands move to hold his as Spike's hands moved on to his hips, the blonde's lips found his and he fell into the kiss. Angel watched as his childe kissed the soldier, he felt the heat of the man's hands and the instinctive tightening of his grip. Angel dipped his head and suckled on Spike's neck as he ground himself against his backside, wishing they were naked so he could fuck his childe. Spike and Jack broke apart, the human panting eyes wide with lust and heat. He bared his throat again and swallowed his voice soft and needy.
"Do it, just don't kill me"
Spike smiled wickedly and licked Jack's neck, delighting in the shivers that small action provoked. He carefully sank his fangs into the warm flesh, shuddering, as he tasted the fresh blood, Jack groaned and pushed his hips against Spike. The vampire's hands swiftly undid the flies on both his and Jack's pants, guiding the human's hands to his cock as he took Jack in hand. Angel released himself and moved his hands to Spike's hips as he ground his cock into the pale cheeks. Jack's hot hand moved over Spike's cock, expertly jerking him off. Spike returned the favour as he fed slowly, high on sex and the incredible taste of willing blood in his mouth. He could taste the arousal in Jack's blood and he felt his body tighten under the human's talented hands. He pulled his fangs from Jack's neck and fastened his bloody mouth over the dazed human's. Jack recoiled slightly then gave in to the vampire, kissing him back with a fury, tongue searching out the blood in his partner's mouth. Spike sliced his own tongue on a sharp fang and shoved it into Jack's mouth, letting him taste the strength in his blood. Jack groaned and came, his hot cum falling in messy streams around Spike's hand. The heat set Spike off and he hugged Jack close cumming in his hot grip, Angel watched and shuddered to his own completion as the two men with him relaxed in his arms.
"Wow"
Jack's legs felt weak and he would have slumped to the floor but for Spike and Angel holding him up. The elder vampire reached over and grabbed a towel wiping himself and handing it to Spike. Jack let Spike wipe him down and moved away, his hands shaking as he zipped up his pants. He leaned against the counter as Spike cleaned himself up and threw the towel away. Angel opened the fridge and took out some juice, pouring a large glass that he handed to Jack. The human took it gratefully and knocked it back in one go, wiping the back of his hand across his mouth.
"You feelin ok mate"
"Yeah, I'm fine...a bit dazed but yeah I think I'll be ok..is it always like that?"
Spike grinned and pushed himself up to sit on the bench, fishing in his pockets for his smokes, he found them and lit up exhaling the smoke in a grey cloud.
"Nah, its just well..it was the least I could do..seein as how you were willing to give me your blood"
"Oh ok..I think we'd better be going, before I want to do it again"
Spike laughed heartily, and ground out his cigarette, tossing the butt into the trash. He took Jack by the arm and supported him as they walked back into the other room. Sam looked worried and rushed to Jack's side, checking the wound on his neck.
"Now don't go getting all concerned Carter, I'm fine...a little dizzy but fine"
Buffy jumped to her feet her face thunderous "Spike what did you do?"
Spike leered at the slayer and then smiled wickedly "Nothin' he didn't want me too"
She walked over and grabbed him by the collar but before she could say anymore he dropped his head. When he looked up again, it was William in control and he looked horrified, he pleaded with Buffy.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know what he was going to do" he turned to face Jack " please forgive me"
Jack smiled about to answer but had to laugh instead as the diminutive slayer whacked Angel on the arm. The vampire recoiled as the slayer advanced on him hand raised.
"I thought you were watching him"
"I was...I..watched"
"Angel"
Angel retreated as Buffy stalked towards him, he held up his hands as he backed away.
"Why are you mad at me, I didn't do anything "
Buffy glared at him, hands on hips as she surveyed him icily, her eyes drifted down to the wet spot staining his pants.
"Oh really, it sure looks like it Angel"
Angel squirmed but held his ground, pointing at William,
"It was all Spike's fault why aren't you hitting him?"
Buffy snorted and settled for flicking her hair over her shoulder in a huff.
"Because Spike has disappeared and your still here... conveniently"
Giles walked over and took Buffy by the arm, tugging slightly to get her attention.
"Come Buffy we have to get back to Sunnydale, Wesley is ready to open the portal"
"I'm coming with you this time"
A pin falling could have been heard in the silence that followed that statement. Angel glared at all and sundry but it was William who took his sire's hand and explained the situation gently.
"You cannot sire," Angel shook his head in denial but William was firm " I was the only master vampire in Sunnydale and that's what Nefu needs. A fledge could never hope to contain a Goa'uld and if another master was to come to Sunnydale, Nefu would have another chance to make a Daywalker that he could control. You are far older and wiser than I and I have no doubt that even your strength could not endure the Goa'uld's lust for dominance. Better you stay here safe, I have no wish to risk another that I love"
Angel's face reflected his anger, his sadness and ultimately his acceptance of William's statement, he pulled his childe into a hug whispering in his ear.
"If you need me childe..for anything...call..please, I could not bear to lose you again"
William smiled reassuringly as Wesley finished calling the portal into existence, he turned away and walked into it, thankful that one love would be safe, while another waited for him to return.
