"How long does it take for someone to get ready?" Dean groaned as he and Sam waited in the bedroom for Buffy to leave the bathroom.
"You take just as long as her," Sam laughed.
Dean was ready to launch himself at his brother because he was already irritable about losing sleep when the bathroom door opened and out came Buffy.
"I'm ready!" she smiled as she headed for the door. She turned around and saw Dean and Sam's faces. "Way to waste time."
Sam laughed again as Dean tried hard not to yell.
----------------------
True to his word, Dean did indeed talk to Buffy about her useof a rocket launcher. They found the nearest diner and settled in for a long discussion. Fortunately for Buffy, Dean didn't realize thatshe had left some important details out of her story.
"I see that you guys love your guns, which is great if that's how you get the job done," Buffy nodded. "But there this was demon, The Judge, who was wicked old and it was basically said that no weapon made by man could destroy him."
"And the rocket launcher?" Sam asked.
"When it was said that no weapon could stop him, technology wasn't exactly booming, so we figured a rocket launcher, something recent in our time would."
"And Giles let you use it?" Dean asked angrily. He would definitely need to have a talk with her friends if they ever brought Buffy back to Sunnydale.
"There was no other way," Buffy defended. "The rest of the Scoobies had to do body part pick up afterwards."
"Sounds a little gross," Sam smiled.
"I'm gonna go see what's taking our food so long," Dean sighed as he got out of the booth and headed toward their waitress.
Buffy stared at Sam as he watched Dean leave. This would probably be the only time she could talk to him alone.
"How long have you had the visions?"
Sam's head turned sharply to Buffy. His eyes were wide as he looked at Buffy's questioning glance.
"How'd you know?" he asked quietly.
"When I woke up this morning, I saw the way you were acting as you slept," Buffy shrugged.
"It could have been a nightmare," Sam suggested.
"Yea, and I'm sure what you saw was a nightmare, but I also know that you saw something else."
"You haven't exactly been forthcoming with information either," Sam turned the conversation around. "I'm sure there's a lot about you that we don't know. Like when you said you use your fists to stop evil. How much damage can you do with your fists?"
Buffy smiled before looking down at her hands. She could do a lot of damage with them, but could she tell her brothers that? It wasn't like she could keep her secret for very long.
"Yea, I am keeping things from you, and I will tell you, just not now."
"Do you not trust us?" Sam asked.
"I do, and after hearing everything about your life, I really want to tell you, but I'm not sure that I can," Buffy explained.
Sam eyed Buffy a little more before attempting to explain what he could. "Yes, I have visions, but I can't control them when they happen. Mostly, it's only when I'm asleep, but I get 'em during the day."
"Any idea how you got them?"
"No clue, but after meeting someone who was telekinetic and discovering we were both connected to the demon that killed mom, I think the demon had something to do with it."
"Kinda like the essence of the demon?" Buffy laughed. "Long story."
"You seem to have a lot of those," Sam pushed.
"I guess I can explain this one," Buffy smiled. "I kinda got some demon blood on me, and it seeped into my skin. I was way wigged at first, but nothing happened."
"I take it the story gets more interesting?" Sam smirked.
"You bet it does," Buffy continued. "I was hit with the essence of the demon, meaning I would get a power the demon had. I freaked, thinking I would grow a tail or horns or something. As it turned out, I could read minds."
"That seems cool."
"It was, until I found that I couldn't shut it off," Buffy sighed. "The voices were too much, overlapping one another, and of course, I discovered that someone had planned to kill themselve, but because of all the jumbled voices I thought they planned on killing others."
"How'd you stop it?"
"The demon had to be killed, and then I had to drink some gross potion thingy that would stop the voices. And it did, so I was able to stop someone from doing something bad."
"It seems you had a hard life," Dean interrupted the two. "But why do you make ours hard when you make me carry all this food that seems to be all for you?"
Sam and Buffy turned to look at Dean and started laughing.
It seemed the reason for the food delay was because Buffy had ordered so much. She couldn't help it if her appetite was big. The slayer in her was starving, so she ordered whatever she sounded yummy off the menu.
"Just pass me the food and no one gets hurt," Buffy threatened.
"It might take a while," Dean snapped. "I hope you have the money to pay for this."
Buffy merely shrugged as she took a bite of her cheeseburger. "If we don't have the money, I'm always up for the classic dine and ditch."
Buffy was, of course, joking since she too had worked in a diner and knew that money counted. Dean and Sam on the other hand thought she was serious.
While Dean smiled, showing his obvious approval of Buffy's plan, Sam groaned.
"Don't be like him and run credit card scams."
----------------------
Buffy needed this. All of it.
The too loud music, the cheesy flashing lights, all of it. It reminded her of the Bronze. Of home.
She was dancing the night away, trying desperately to ignore the fact that several vampires had entered the club. She hoped Dean and Sam wouldn't spot them. She positioned herself a little closer to the vampires, using the men around her as a cover.
"I'm going to kill them," Dean had risen from the bar stool. The way those guys were crowding around his little sister pissed him off.
"I agree with you," Sam glared the guys, "But I think Buffy will be able to handle it if anything were to happen."
"About that," Dean turned to Sam. "What'd she tell you at the diner?"
"She shared some more stories, and she confirmed that she was holding out on us, but it's going to take time before she can tell us."
They watched as one of the guys got a little too close to their sister, and Dean was halfway over to her before Sam even stood.
In just a few days, they were already protective of her and whether she liked it or not, it was always going to be this way.
As Buffy scoped out the two vampires, she didn't catch that one of the men around her decided to test the waters. At first she was a little freaked that he started grinding against her, but she pushed him off.
"Tease," the man smirked before approaching Buffy once more. He never made it because Dean grabbed his arm from behind.
"I think you're done with the lady here," Dean said as calm as he could. When the guy tried to break free, Dean applied more pressure and kicked the man behind the knee, forcing him to fall on it.
"I think it's time for you to go," Dean whispered in the man's ear. The man scrambled to his feet and fled the club with his tail between his legs.
"Overprotective much?" Buffy smiled. "Thanks for that, but I could've handled it."
Cursing herself for turning away from the two vampires, Buffy quickly scanned the room for them again. She spotted them leaving through a back exit with two women.
'They always head for the alley,' Buffy thought to herself.
"I'm gonna go freshen up," Buffy laughed uneasily.
"Because careful," Dean warned.
"I'm the queen of careful," Buffy looked back. "Almost really."
"Do you think she talks like that to confuse us?" Dean asked Sam.
----------------------
"Where are you taking us?" one the women asked. "We can always be adventurous and do it right here."
The two vampires looked to one another and smirked. If they wanted to be drained right here, who were they to ignore them?
Their faces changed and the women screamed as the yellow eyed, ridge faced men came after them.
"Why can't vampires ever learn?" Buffy sighed as she grabbed both vampires' by their shoulders and threw them backward. "Get back inside."
The women, though frightened, listened to Buffy's words and ran back through the exit.
"Dean, the ladies room isn't that way, and now two crying women just ran in the way Buffy walked out," Sam told his brother as he watched Buffy leave.
With one look, the brothers ran past the women who came in and burst through the door. They were just in time to watch Buffy toss one vampire on top of dumpster.
The other vampire charged her from behind, taking her to the ground.
Sam was ready to join in, but Dean held him back. "Maybe we can learn something."
Buffy elbowed the vampire in the face. He let go of Buffy, giving her time to jump to her feet. She kicked the vampire in the stomach, sending him into a bunch of wooden crates.
She turned back to the vampire on the dumpster. He jumped from it and dove toward Buffy, who dodged. She delivered a roundhouse kick to his face and pulled a stake out from her jacket. The vampire was dust before he knew it.
The vampire who hit the crates rushed her again. She wasted no time in dusting him as she ducked his fist and staked him from behind.
She thought she heard something from the door, but when she turned, expecting to see a shocked stranger, she saw no one. She chocked it up to a stray dog as she walked back inside.
----------------------
"Sorry I took so long," Buffy smiled. She noticed their looks, but didn't say anything. "I'm ready to go if you are."
Dean nodded and Buffy led the way to the car. Behind her, Dean and Sam were having a nonverbal conversation about what they just witnessed.
'Dean, what just happened?'
'I think we just discovered her secret.'
'There's no way she should have been able to toss whatever those things around like that.'
'Tomorrow, we'll get the record straight.'

Hersecret finally comes out next chapter!
