Disclamer: None of these characters are mine.
Willow and Giles had left the room to talk about their quickly forming plan. Angel looked at the hallway after the two of them left the room. "I thought she lived in Brazil, and you in Africa." He said to Xander.
"Well after a while we both realized we missed America. That and Willow and Kennedy split up." Xander got up from his seat. "We made this place like Buffy and Dawn's house was back in Sunnydale: Open to all current and past Scoobies. I guess you guys will be staying for a while, the basement doesn't have windows so you and Spike can stay down there…" Xander looked over at spike for a minute. "Actually, Spike can sleep outside if he wants to, Nevada has beautiful sunrises." Xander didn't hear Spike calling him a Git Poofter because he turned to Illyria and Gunn and was talking to them now. "You two can stay down there if you want too, but if not this couch pulls out into a bed." he realized they were both in pretty deep though so he decided to leave it for later.
"So Buff, where's Dawnie?" Xander asked Buffy who was on the arm of the chair next to Faith who was slumped in it nearly asleep.
"We got a place in Rome, she stayed there cause we had to leave so fast, and cause I had no idea what we were walking into." Buffy stopped for a second and got an "oh," face. "Hey Willow?" She called to the room Giles and Willow were in. She came out and looked at Buffy. Buffy could tell that she was in Full scoobie mode.
"Do you think you could twitch your nose and get Dawn and Andrew?" Dawn waved her hand and both of them appeared, Dawn in the chair where Xander had been sitting, and Andrew in between Gunn and Angel.
"Dang, Harry just opened the chamber. That was the best in-flight-movie I've ever seen." Angel just looked at him. "Well… aren't you just Voldemort Jr."
"What's going on? I mean one moment I'm about to put butter on my toast, then the next I'm here." Dawn said looking at the assortment of faces in the living room of he second home.
"Willow is all Wicca Bad-ass only without the 'end all' attitude." Buffy said. Dawn just shrugged.
"So, obviously Angel isn't dead, what's going on?" Asked Dawn looking from Angel back to Buffy.
As Buffy tried to fill Dawn in on the goings on of the past few hours, Faith and Xander talked. "So, how is that new eye treating you? That was some pretty wicked work Willow did." Faith said to Xander with a smile.
"Great. I'm still kind of getting used to it being a lot better then my normal one. I pretty much have a magical zoom lens strapped to my head. How are things cross the pond?"
"Everything is five by five, I was getting a little fidgety back in Rome. They don't have vamps like we used to have back in Sunnydale, so I was getting antsy. I'm a girl that loves to slay."
Willow and Giles finally came back. "I know what we have to do." Willow said. "There is a reason we moved to Nevada, seems fate used the little power it still had to steer us here so we could use what's called the Plateau to bring back the Quad-Nexus, um, the girls. It's one of the most powerful dimensional points on the planet, kinda like a Hellmouth without all the fanged."
"What, just like that we are going to bring them back?" Xander asked, a little panicked.
"When we brought me back it didn't really work out for the best. I had that whole depression thing and the lying, and the musical… but that wasn't my fault. But still it was bad." Buffy added.
"Well when you were gone they had no idea where you were. We know exactly where they are, and heaven it isn't. According to what we now know all four of the girls are in this hell world, and unless we do something soon we will find ourselves in a similar situation because we are now facing a real apocalypse. No matter what we want or think is right, this is the only way. It would be best if we leave. Now." Giles finished.
