Gunn looked around at all the mechanical gadgets in the doctor's office as he began to remove his shirt. He wasn't completely sure if this was the right thing to do, but he was out of his league in the big corporate world. "Doctor," called a woman as she gently knocked on the door, "there's an urgent phone call for you." The doctor set down the file he had been looking at and nodded at a strange looking chair with wires. "Have a seat, Mr. Gunn. I'll be back shortly." With that said, he left the room, closing the door behind him. Gunn looked around apprehensively at the wires. "This is some messed up stuff." He muttered to himself.
"I know, isn't it weird? Looks like Dr. Frankenstein meets Alien." Commented a voice. Gunn spun around to see Buffy leaning against the doorway, her eyes locked on him. "Course, I never was much one for the Sci-Fi films." She pushed herself away from the doorway and walked into the room, closing the door with her foot. "What are you doing here?" asked Gunn as he watched her look around the room. She shrugged, "I always hated going to the doctor, let alone by myself. Thought I'd give you a little company, since the others are a little busy."
"Company, huh." said Gunn, "I don't think the Doc will like having visitors." "Well then, I guess it's good that I'm not visiting him." Said Buffy with a small smile. "Now Gunn, do you really think this is a good idea. I don't know about you, but this stuff seems a little crazy. I know I wouldn't be doing this." Gunn shrugged, "It's for the best. I can do a lot more when this gets done."
"Who told you that? Eve? The lady who works for the Senior Partners? Yeah, I bet she knows what's best." Gunn stared at her, "It might be some set up, but I'll still be a bigger help when this is over. They aren't going to do anything horrible to me yet. It's too early. Besides, who says you ain't a part of the big evil?"
Buffy held up her hands, "Touché, Gunn. I guess it is a little early in the game to be able to decipher what is right and what is wrong. However, do you really truly believe that attaching wires to your body and doing who knows what is going to help you? You don't need to do that to fit in around here. You wanna fit in? I'll get you a suit. I'll even splurge a little and get you some shiny black shoes. It's your decision though, Mr. Gunn."
Buffy turned and walked to the door, placing her hand on the doorknob. "Gunn, this world is full of many different things. Some good, some bad. It's always a challenge to figure out which is which. But, there are some things that are constant, that you can always rely on. Once you realize that, and believe in that, your life will be a lot easier." Gunn looked at the chair and back to the door. In the second that it took him to look back at the door, Buffy was gone. Hanging on the doorknob was a silver chain, with a small silver cross dangling above the ground.
