"Sh…She's up here…" Dawn did a Tara impression as she lead the dark blue demon up the stairs toward willows bedroom.

"Do not vorry child… I vill not harm you…" the creature spoke in an all to kind and comforting voice. "I only vish to find my friend and get back home."

Dawn struggled with this but decided that engaging in conversation and finding out all the information she could about the demon that had just single handedly taken out most of the Scooby gang (including her sister) was probably the only productive thing she could do right then.

"S… so that weird purply teleporty thing you did… that's how you got into Willow's room?" asked the young woman now leading the way more slowly.

"Ja" came the reply.

"And miss Albina-hair… what do you want with her?"

"She is a friend of mine… we are walking rather slowl…"

"So why don't you just teleport up and get her? Why do I need to show you where she is?" Dawn turned on her heel to face the slender blue demon. "I mean why not just get her and get the hell out of my house?" Dawn almost cringed but managed to maintain eye contact.

The blue demon sighed… "Because I cannot teleport somevere unless I can see it or know ze place vell… ozervise I could vind up in a vall or ze floor… and zat vould be painfull."

Dawn decided to push her luck… "So why here… why my house?"

"Please show me vere my friend is being held and I vill explain everything"

Dawn nodded and began to lead the way up the stairs again.

"So your friend… she's a demon to?"

"I am not a demon, how many times must I tell you, and neizer is Ororro."

"I don't know about that Kurt… I think Jubilee has described me that way once or twice…"

There standing in the doorway to Willow and Tara's bedroom stood the tallest most beautiful woman Dawn had ever seen. Her long white hair floated down over her shoulders like billowing clouds contrasting her dark flawless skin…

"KILL THE DEMON!"

Kurt was tackled from behind in a blur of blond hair and blue fur and went smashing through the lack of a door into Buffy's room… Dawn looked around shocked… the woman with white hair rushed past her… only to be grabbed another short blond brandishing a battleaxe…

"No Buffy for you Arrara!"

"It's Ororro" Dawn told Anya helplessly…

"Try that bamfy thing now why don't ya!" Buffy yelled from her room…

BAMF

"HAHA!"

Dawn saw the man who so closely resembled a blue demon smash into a wall…

"That's for me!"

BAMF

"OW!"

"Zat is for Ororro!"

Crunch!

"That's for Xander!"

"Unhand me child!" The woman called Ororro turned to Anya who was still pointing her battle axe threateningly…

"Child? I'll have you know I'm over 1000 years old you well proportioned hussy!"

There was a loud clap of thunder from outside… the woman looked at Anya, her long white hair flowing in a wind that was blowing inside the house for some reason… her eyes slowly shifted into stark white… electricity shooting and sparking from her pupils….

The tall woman reached forward slowly and touched the tip of the battle axe… Dawn screemed… Anya shook, her hair standing on end… then she fell to the floor convulsing…

"ENOUGH!" the woman stated commandingly and walked into Buffy's room. Two loud thumps later and Dawn had the distinct impression that the fight between Nightcrawler and Buffy was quite over.

Dawn knelt over Anya… she'd stopped shaking but was now unconscious… her pulse was alright though… she tried to think of what to do as she heard the voices from the other room.

"Ow Ororro! You hit me too!"

"I'm aware of that Kurt… where are we… who are these… people?"

"These people? You two come into my house! Attack me and my friends! Somehow kidnap willow and you have the nerve to run around throwing lightning bolts and calling us 'these people'?"

"Since I'm the one throwing the lightning bolts, yes I do have the nerve. What is your name girl?"

"Buffy." Dawn thought that was the most begrudging and spiteful use of the word she had ever heard.

"And what are we doing here Kurt?"

"I… I do not know, I assumed zat ve vere kidnapped… Ze last thing I remember I vas trying to teleport you out of harms vay… and zen… I woke up here…"

There was a pause… Dawn had the distinct image of two misbehaved children being interrogated by a parental figure.

"But she said she was part of ze friends of humanity."

"The friends of whowhatamy?"

"It seems… that there has been some misunderstanding… Buffy? We mean you and your friends no harm, if you mean none to us… and it would seem that it would behoove us to ask for each others assistance in order to make sense of what happened here… so if you would please tell your friends not to brandish any weapons at us… And you will both" there was a pause again "agree not to attack each other for at least a little while we might make a little more progress.
