It was never enough, however hard she tried it was never enough. She wasn't expecting forgiveness right away, Redemption was never that easy.Angel had made sure she was under no illusions about that before she left LA. But Damn! All she was trying to do was save an innocent, and got sucker punched for her troubles.Seems she can't do anything right in 'The Chosen's' eyes.

Rubbing her Jaw and trying her best to Shrug off the hurt she felt, hoping nobody had noticed the mask slip, "It's all right, B. Luckily, you still punch like you used to." She quipped

Buffy ignored the comment,simply glaring at the rogue slayer for a beat before turning to Spike "You Okay?"

'Wait! WHAT?!?'

A grumbled response from the vamp of "yeah.Terrific." Told Faith all she needed to know, she'd managed to hurt him…atleast a little. Despite herself Faith couldn't help but smirk a little before realisation hit her.

Taken aback slightly at the scene before her,the words escaped before she could stop them.

"Are you protecting vampires? Are you the bad slayer now? Am I the good slayer now?"

With a Roll of her Eyes Buffy matter of factly replied

"He's with me. He has a soul."

"Oh, he's like Angel?" Faith had images of how the Big Man would react if he knew and yet again couldn't stop the smirk spreading across her face. She just hoped she'd live long enough to see that discovery play out.

"No."

"Sort of."

"I am nothing like Angel"

Clearly she'd opened a can of worms…and there was that damned smirk again.She really needed to get her emotions in check but it was increasingly difficult when she was around B,for a brief moment A warm feeling of Nostalgia washed over her. In that moment it felt like old times….before it all went wrong.

"He fights on my side." Buffy shrugged "Which is more than I can say for some of us"

And there it was..

Slightly more defensive than she meant to be Faith snapped back. "Yeah, well if he's so good, what's he doing chasing down defenseless—"

She didn't get to finish her point before the 'innocent' that had been forgotten until now blindsided her out of left field knocking her to the ground with a thud

It was Buffy turn to smirk pointing at the Vamp "That's one of the bad guys."

"You should make 'em wear a sign." Faith and the Vamp traded blows, all that training coming back instantly without having to think, it was the same when she got to LA and Faith can't help muse to herself 'it was like riding a Biker' Knocked on her backside again , she reached around to Buffy's pocket "May I?" taking the stake "Thanks."

Making short work of the creature Dust covers grass between them.

"Angel's dull as a table lamp. And we have very different coloring."

Both Slayers were shaking their heads, definitely opened a can of worms, he's like a dog with a bone when Angel is mentioned Faith noted. Something to remember if she needed some entertainment later maybe? The beginnings of a smirk started to form before She mentally admonished herself 'Stop it'

"OK, catching up. Anything else I gotta know?"

Buffy raised an Eyebrow crossing her arms

"Nice to have you back."
