Sorry this has taken so long but I got a little side tracked doing something else (i.e. The ritual and chocolate cream pie verse), but I hope you like this if anyone is still reading it.

I have to say thanks to Twinkiecat for looking at this for me.

"Are you sure this is the place?" John asked Sam as he got out of the pickup and walked over to the Impala.

Sam nodded, "They talked about a nest near the railway line, and this is the only place where something could hide close to the railroad in this town."

"Right," John said.

"So, what do you think they are dealing with?" Bobby asked.

"Not sure, just something they could clean up quick." Sam said, again reiterating what he had told them at the bar.

"And she turned blue?" Dean asked sarcastically.

Sam sighed, "Yes Dean, the girl turned 'Blue' I don't know how else I can say it. One minute normal girl, next thing…"

"Blue?" Dean said, "You sure that it hasn't been so long since you've been laid that you ain't started hallucinating about Smurfette?"

"Yeah sure Dean, if Smurfette came in leather armour."

"Hey dude, to each to their own, there are worse things you can get your rocks off to."

"Boys," John simply said causing his sons to go quiet.

They walked up through the deserted remains of the warehouses, only one or two buildings left from the demolition work that had been going on.

"There!" Sam said pointing towards a van sitting outside one of the intact buildings.

"That's Spike?" Dean asked, to which Sam nodded, "That Billy Idol wannabe?"

"Yeah," Sam said as they all looked at the man leaning on the van flicking through the pages of a book.

"Where are the others then?" John wondered out loud, not liking the sound of the girl who turned blue that Sam had described.

"Why don't we ask him?" Bobby said.

Spike had just finished the chapter of his book when he smelt four people in the distance; he looked up to see them at the bottom of the street. He straightened up as they came towards him, two older ones and two younger ones. From the way they held themselves, he could guess that all of them had the blood of some description on their hands, even if they had washed it off its stench.

"Great" he thought to himself, especially when he saw Sam.

"Hey mate, didn't think I'd see you again," Spike said to Sam as they joined him.

"So you're Spike then?" Dean asked.

"Depends who is asking?" Spike said smirking.

"He is," John said firmly.

Spike raised an eyebrow, "And you are?"

"I'm his and Sam father," John replied.

The smirk dropped from Spike's face, "Then you're John then? And that would make him, Dean?"

Dean nodded, as Spike went round the side of the van and threw his book through the open window before turning to face them.

"Sorry about not introducing myself, but they wanted to do something – you know what women are like."

"Speaking of women, where are they?" Sam asked.

He nodded in the direction of the building, "Bonding thing; best not get in their way when they're in this type of mood."

"You let those girls go in there by themselves?" Bobby asked causing Spike to grin.

"You do know what a slayer is don't you?" he asked as the group, who looked at him coldly for a few seconds.

A loud crash broke the tension as a man came out of a first floor window.

"Excuse me," Spike said, walking over to the man who was scrambling to his feet after his rather clumsy exit from the building. Spike grabbed hold of the man's arm causing the man's face to react changing from the smooth features of a human to the more feral ridged ones of his true vampiric nature.

"Come on, back inside," Spike said, pulling the man towards the door of the warehouse.

"No please, it's time let me go," the fledgling said trying to pull away.

"It hasn't been the full ten minutes."

The fledge struggled as hard as he could, "Yes it has, it has."

Spike opened a door and flung the fledge inside, "No it hasn't – it has been more like six, you come back later and then we'll talk."

Spike turned to walk back to join the others, he walked a few steps stopping on hearing the fledge scream.

Spike smirked, "Guess he won't be coming back then."

John looked at him coldly, not too impressed at what he was seeing.

Spike sniffed,, he hadn't needed to deal with a father in a non I'm here to eat you family and there ain't anything you can do to stop me since – Christ, he couldn't really think that he ever did except with Angel. All he had to do then was show the poof haired nonce that he could take as the same amount of pain as the elder vampire could, which to be honest wasn't a lot in Angel's case. With Giles he hadn't bothered his arse, but then again Giles was never in any illusion about what Spike was and more importantly what he was capable of.

"Look mate, they'll be out in a minute," Spike said returning to his original position, leaning on the hood of the van, hoping that Buffy would turn up before he said something he shouldn't.

"You sure of that?" Dean asked.

Spike nodded thinking that this one definitely had a cob on about something, "It's aquick clean up job, enough for them to get the edge off or whatever."

"Right, and you are such a gentleman you left them to it?" Dean said caustically enough for Sam to turn and look at his brother.

Spike straightened up, "That's the way they want it mate. Not worth it arguing with them."

John was about to say something when the fire started in the first floor window just as Buffy and Faith made an appearance.

"Did she have to set fire to the place?" Buffy asked her sister salyer.

Faith sighed, "Look you checked, there ain't anyone in the building and this lot cleared out the locals way before we got here no-one going to get hurt. The place ain't connected to the gas and is going to be knocked down anyway."

"Right, but when did she get the fire bug?" Buffy asked.

"Well she's right, until this place is flattened it is going to be a rat's nest, so unless you want to stay here and clean up the mess the next bunch who hole up, then it has to come down quick. Especially seeing that we passed that elementary school on the way here."

Faith turned to Buffy with a wry smile on her face, "But hey, you want to stay that is fine by me, shouldn't keep you more than a couple of days."

"You'd love that wouldn't you?" Buffy said through gritted teeth.

"Hey B, I'd never say anything like that, you know we're 5 by 5 don't you?"

Buffy shook her head, "Yeah, right."

"Anyway, looks like we got company," Faith said noticing the group standing beside Spike.

"Oh great," Buffy said causing Faith to let out a little laugh.

"Daddy don't know do he?" Faith said.

Buffy shook her head, biting her tongue.

"Don't worry B, he won't hear about your little kink from me."

"It's not a kink!" Buffy said, "Anyway me and Spike aren't like that anymore and it is none of your business."

"Sure B, sure keep telling yourself that and there is no need to get so touchy about it," Faith turned and whistled in the direction of the warehouse, "Move you butt Fred!"

A few seconds later Fred came running out of the burning building catching up to the other two women and moving forward together to meet up with the group of men.

"That's her," Sam muttered to his brother.

Dean narrowed his eyes, "Don't look Blue to me, dude."

"Sorry about that," Buffy said to John and the others, "We would have come back."

"Right," John said looking at the building behind her, "You girls finished your business then?"

Buffy looked behind her, "Ahh that." She flashed him a little smile, "Would you believe that wasn't all my fault."

"Really?" John said as the fire started to lick the windows on the first floor.

She came over all innocent, "Okay, I'm responsible for part of it, but definitely not the flamey part."

Bobby stifled a laugh, this was better than the time that Sam had first discovered Tequila.

"You done?" Spike asked.

Faith grinned, "Slayer walk over, they didn't stand a chance."

Spike nodded, "Good, can we get going now?"

"Definitely, feeling in the need for some real fun," Faith replied causing Spike's shoulders to fall as she walked towards him.

"Bloody brilliant, can you hold it in 'til we get there, or do we have to make another pit stop?" Spike asked.

"Hell no, Blondie Bear," Faith said patting him on the chest, "I'll be a good girl promise."

"Why the hell did you have to tell her that stupid name?" Spike asked Buffy.

Buffy shrugged, "Hey, it wasn't me that told her, blame Fred."

"Ta Fred," Spike said heading towards the door of the van.

"Oh Spike she just asked, and Harmony called you it all the time."

John held up the file to hand it to Buffy, "You left this in the bar."

"Oh thanks," she replied.

"Full Legion you guys are after then?" Bobby asked causing Buffy, Faith and Spike to look at the group of hunters in front of them.

Faith slammed the van door she had opened, "Great B, lets call D, make it a complete family outing."

"Faith," Buffy said as they watched the other slayer walk off in a rage.

Spike sighed, "Don't worry I'll get her, make sure she doesn't maim a gang of hells angels or something."

"Thanks," Buffy said, as he plodded of behind Faith.

"I better be getting overtime rates for this," he muttered causing Buffy to smile a little.

"Will she be all right?" Sam asked.

Buffy nodded, "She'll be fine, he'll look after her."

"Are you sure?" Sam asked as Dean left to go after Spike.
