AUTHOR'S NOTE Here we go! This is the sex chapter, kids! Max and Logan have waited a real long time for this, so they deserve a little bit of fun. And Alec will have his girl soon enough, don't worry. Plus Spike's romance is just something that I thought was fun. Hope you all enjoy!

DISCLAIMER Don't own them still. Sigh.

Chapter Twenty-Three: In Which There Is A Lot Of Sex

Max sat on her bed. She thought fleetingly of how nice the transgenics had managed to make Terminal City, living wise. A soft knock came at the door and she looked up. "Come in."

Logan stood at her door. "Hey."

"Hi."

He smiled and came to sit by her on the bed. "It's like a dream."

Max smirked. "I believe I've had this dream. Although it was that you could walk and we danced as opposed to…this."

Hesitantly, Logan reached out to stroke her cheek. Max closed her eyes and felt the softness of his caress. "Remind me to thank Willow for this later," she murmured.

"Max," Logan said. She opened her eyes. "We don't have any limits now. We don't have to rush or try to beat the clock here. This time it can be perfect."

She smiled. "This is perfect. Just being able to touch you. Besides," she added with a coy look. "We've been waiting long enough, don't you think?"

Logan looked into her eyes. "I love you," he said.

"I love you too."

When he kissed her, the rest of the world disappeared. It was perfect happiness.

Headquarters of the Breeding Cult

Ames White paced through the hall. "We must do something now," he said.

"You know we cannot."

White glared at the Elder. "We have to! Holden has warned me against the interlopers. Angelus especially could prove to be a danger. He'll protect X5-452 until his end."

The old woman placed her fingertips together. "Perhaps his end should come swiftly."

'What an original idea,' White thought.
"What is it, Brother?"

White bowed his head. "I only worry that the vampire and his friends pose a threat to us."

The Elder woman waved a dismissive hand. "Worry not, Brother. His time will come soon. Even vampires will not survive the Coming."

White looked up into her eyes. "What?"

"The Coming shall wipe out all save us."

"Demons as well?"

"Demons cannot survive. Nothing can survive."

Head bowed again, White asked, "How much time remains?"

The Elder woman smiled serenely. "Days. Only days."

Terminal City

Spike wandered alone through the place the transgenics called home. He wasn't impressed. His crypt in Sunnydale had been nicer than this before Buffy had gone and gotten it swallowed by the Hellmouth.

Okay, so maybe it had actually been him who'd done the swallowing, but still.

He was so busy trying to drive thoughts of Buffy and Angel, her knight in bloody shining armor, that he didn't see the X5 until he bumped into her. "Hey," she said coyly.

"You're one of the test tube siblings, aren't you?" Spike asked, writing off tact much in Cordelia Chase fashion.

"Mm-hmm," the blond purred. "I'm Jondy."

"Jondy, hmm? What kind of name is that?"

She shrugged. "I was only a little girl when I made it up. What's your name?"

"Spike." The vampire immediately realized the irony of this.

Jondy smiled. "Well Spike, I think your name is kind of sexy. You're a vampire, aren't you?"

Spike blinked, taken aback. "Uh, yeah."

Within seconds, Jondy had the vampire pinned to the wall and started kissing his neck. "Maybe there's a reason for your name," she murmured. "Let me find out. I want to learn all about vampires."

For a moment, Spike froze. What was he supposed to do with this genetically perfect creature molesting him against a wall? He wasn't sure that he'd heard her right. "Uh, what, love?"

Jondy pulled away to stare into intensely with ice blue eyes. For a disturbing second, she reminded him of a blonde Illyria. "Don't you want to?" she asked, honey dripping from her voice.

Did he want to? Good question. His body said yes, he definitely wanted to, but he was in love with Buffy. Wasn't he? "Oh come on," she continued. "Let me show you what you've been missing all this time. There's nothing like an X5."

There was nothing like a Slayer either. He was in love with Buffy, but Jondy make him feel like a real man again. Buffy was obviously in love with Angel still. That much he could admit to himself. And Jondy was ready and willing. Sighing, he said. "Lead the way, love." He let her lead him back to her bedroom and forced the other blond from his mind.

Elsewhere in Terminal City

Willow looked at the three transgenics before her. The only ones willing to talk about their experiences with Manticore were the '09 escapees and two were glaringly absent. Jace and Zane looked at Alec, who was more preoccupied with trying to annoy Illyria and wasn't paying attention. Lorne waited patiently. "Where's Jondy?" Willow asked.

Jace and Zane looked at each other uncomfortably. "She isn't here," Jace replied.

"I can see that," Willow said irritably. "Where is she?"

"She's…" Zane began.

"She's otherwise occupied," Alec filled in with a smirk.

"What does that mean?"

"Willow, there's something you need to know about us," Jace said slowly. "We all have feline DNA."

Willow blinked. "So?"

"So we're all prone to the same things that cats are."

Willow shook her head. "Not really understanding here."

Jace sighed. "We go into heat, Willow, just like cats do. Jondy is in heat right now."

"O-oh."

Alec laughed outright. "So the little one is either locked in a closet somewhere or she's giving in to her urges, shall we say."

Willow blushed. "Oh. I see."

"And we all know where Max is," Alec added.

"Yes Alec, thank you." Willow's face turned an even deeper red.

"Sounds like we should do this some other time, sweetie," Lorne said. "Some time when the children aren't giving in to their urges?"

"Yeah, good idea. Thanks Lorne." Willow immediately rushed off. She was beyond embarrassed. Being a witch was hard sometimes, as she'd experienced first hand. But all the temptation and power and darkness that she had to avoid was nothing compared to the idea of going into heat. Willow thanked every deity she knew of for that.

The Answers to the Last Trivia Questions

1. Angel, Cordelia, and Wesley used yellow binding powder to control an Ethros demon that was possessing a young boy in "I've Got You Under My Skin" in season one.

2. Willow choked on a spark (part of a guiding spell) that went wrong due to the haunted house in "Fear, Itself," season four.

3. Angelus didn't wake up the Judge, but he did work with him. Angelus did manage to wake up Acathla, even though Buffy stopped him before he sucked the world into hell.

Today's Trivia Question Is:

Max mentions a dream she had in which Logan could walk. When did she have this dream and why was she sleeping to begin with (since we all know our little transgenic hardly ever sleeps)?

Review Responses

LittleDrusilla As soon as I decided to write a Buffy/DA crossover, I knew that I had to find a way to put OC and Willow together. It's just too perfect not to have them together!

Devilus Good job! Thanks for the review!

Samantha I'm counting Acathla, just because Angelus did wake him up even if the world didn't get sucked into Hell. "Fear, Itself" was right. You should at least watch the first season of Angel…seasons one and two are pretty good, then it got a little weird for awhile. I started watching it again in season five just for Spike and it wasn't too bad then either.
