Once again sorry this is so short.
Balance chp 15: Smashy, Smashy
They all leapt up as the windows were smashed and tons of Bringers flooded the lobby. Andrew screamed and dropped his quiche. Dawn, Willow and Faith quickly surrounded Calista while Connor stepped forward to defend them. Angel groaned as he thought of how much it was going to cost to have the windows fixed as he ducked under the swipe of an axe. He punched the Bringer in the face and grabbed its axe and used it to chop its head off. He kicked away a second and used the axe to kill a third. He looked around and saw a Bringer hit Connor over the head with a heavy rock. Connor dropped like a stone. Angel let out a cry of anger and threw the axe, hitting the Bringer in the head. It dropped down dead. Angel made his way to Connor, struggling with several more Bringers. A scream from Dawn made him look around. They were surrounded and were having a hard time keeping them at bay. Angel saw Spike and noticed that he was having the same problem of getting to them but Angel had a clear path to his grand-childe.
"Spike!" he shouted over the noise. Spike looked to him. Angel nodded to Calista, cupping his hands, making his intention obvious with gestures. Catching on, Spike ran straight for him, leaping up to land one foot in Angel's hands and with his boost flying over everyone and landing neatly in front of Calista. She looked surprised to see him then quipped,
"Nice of you to drop in." Spike grinned at her then whirled around and punching a Bringer in the face. The bringer swung its knife at him but he blocked with one arm and punched with the other. Just as the bringer dropped to the ground unconscious, the others just seemed to vanish and the fighters were left standing slightly confused at the abrupt end to the fight.
"Ok anybody else thinking that was way to easy." asked Gunn. Xander raised his hand followed by Willow and Buffy.
"My quiche!" wailed Andrew
"They left awfully quick when they seemed intent on dong away with us." mused Wes ignoring the annoying little man.
"Damnit, I hate this!" snapped Connacht, glaring at his hands. They jumped, they'd completely forgotten about him.
"Hate what?" asked Dawn curiously.
"I hate being incorporeal! I can't snap those damn bringers necks!" His fingers flexed like he would have given anything to have that ability again.
"What are you-" started Angel in confusion but Connacht cut him off.
"Angel catch!" He tossed the apple to him, and he tried to catch it but it just passed right through him to land on the floor.
"Ah!" deadpanned the dark vampire. Connacht walked towards and straight through him to reclaim the fruit. Angel freaked "Ok please never do that again!" Connacht grinned at him as he walked back to where he had been near the desk. Suddenly Calista's frightened, soft voice rang out clear
"Where's Connor?"
Oh dear…
