Authors Note: Hey guys thanks for all the views and the follows on this story. I just wanna say in this chapter Willow fights Glory. I keep the fight scene the same with how it happened on the show but it's Melissa who stops Glory not Buffy because Buffy is dead. _
The end is all that's ever true, there's nothing you can say
Willow and Melissa head back to the penthouse suit. As they walked in, Melissa saw everyone. "Melissa, your back?" Dawn ran up to Melissa and hugged her, "Ya just." Melissa let go of Dawn, "Any word on Layla and Wes?" she asked everyone. Bruce shock his head, "Not yet but Loki, Tony and Thor have gone to get them back." Darcy said to Melissa. Melissa nodded, "How's your arm Clint?" Melissa asked him, "It's ok it will heal." Clint told her, "OK that's good to know, we need to start training the civilians." Melissa said to everyone. Jane looked at her, "Train, are you expecting us to fight." Jane asked her, "Not yet but sooner or later you might have to. To save your own live." Melissa said to Jane, Darcy and Erik. "She's right Jane, it would be better if we were able to fight and be able to depend on ourselves for once." Darcy said to her, Melissa nodded. Jane nodded and asked, "Ok what are you have us do?" "Some basic weapons training with Steve and Clint." Jane nodded and smiled, "OK I'm in." Erik nodded and Darcy had a grin from ear to ear.
Nat walked down the hall and kicked the door in. She saw Wesley and Layla tied up. "You two ok?" Layla nodded and Wes said, "Ya we're fine, you lot took your time." Wesley said to them, "We had a bit of trouble, with Melissa." Tony said to them, Layla got up and asked, "Is she ok?" Tony looked at her, "I dunno kiddo but I hope so she is." "We need to go." Loki said to everyone, "THOR!" Everyone recognised the voice, "Shit Amora." Loki teleported Wes and Layla back to Stark Tower. Thor struck Amora with lightning and him, Tony and Nat escaped. Loki arrived back in the room with Layla and Wes, "Layla!" Melissa said as she ran to Layla and hugged her, "You're ok; they said something was wrong with you?" Layla said to her, "Ya my head is fine now. Amora and Glory don't know that you're the key do they." Melissa asked her, "No." Layla said to her, Melissa nodded ok that's good.
She turned and saw that Thor, Tony and Nat were back. "Ok now that everyone is here, I need to tell you guys something. When I visited the Shadow men, they offered me more power but I turned it down. Instead they showed me what's coming. It will be an ugly fight with life's lost." Melissa said to everyone, "That's why you need use to train." Jane said, "Ya, Thor are there any chance that you can get Amora back to Asgard. I think if Glory is on her own she might mess up." Melissa asked Thor, "Yes I will try Lady Melissa." Thor said to her. "Willow, try to re-in-soul Angel, Wes, Dawn help her." Melissa asked Willow, she nodded and Wes and Dawn nodded also. "I'll work on it now." Willow went to her room, Wes and Dawn followed her out, Dawn slowly let go of Bruce's hand and left.
Nat can you help Clint and Steve train Jane, Darcy and Erik?" Melissa asked her, Nat nodded, "Ya sure thing come guys lets go." Nat said to her and lead everyone to the training room. "Bruce and Tony I need you to work on some Ultraviolet bullets if you guys can do it that will be a real big help." Tony looked puzzled, "Ultraviolet bullets would that work, "I'm not sure but it's worth a try I could test them on a vampire on protrol." Melissa told him with a little smile. Bruce nodded, "I'll give it a try." Bruce said to her. "Thanks." "Ok Xander, Loki I need you two to look after Layla." "You got it boss." Xander said to her, Loki nodded.
Willow began the spell in Romanian to re-in-soul Angel her eye went black, "Te implor, Doamne, nu ignora aceasta rugaminte." Wes said to Dawn, "Is this a good thing?" Willow continued on, "Nici mort, nici al fiintei..." Dawn said freaking out, "Hey, speak English!" Willow continually chanted in Romanian, "Lasa orbita sa fie vasul care-i va transporta, sufletul la el." The table lurches hard. Willow finishes the spell, "Asa sa fie! Asa sa fie! Acum! Acum!" Willow eyes turn from black back to normal. "Is it done?" Dawn asked Willow, "Ya I'll go and tell Melissa." Willow said as she left her room. Melissa was in her room taking a shower. After the hot shower she got out with a towel wrapped around her. She brushed her hair and dried herself of before slipping on some black sweat pants with a white V neck top.
"Hey Tony I think we done it, take this to Melissa." Bruce said as he handed the gun to Tony. Tony nodded and head off to Melissa room. Dawn walked in as Tony walked out, "Hey, Dawn." Bruce said softly as he looked up from his lab table. Dawn walked over to him with a little smile trying not to blush. "So…Why did you kiss me Bruce?" She said to him, when she sat at his lab table looking at him. He slowly walked around the table towards Dawn. She sighed and pushed back into the touch. She felt rather than saw Bruce tense behind her, his hands tightening reflexively on her shoulders. A hot puff of breath, almost but not quite surprise, stirred her hair. He leaned a little closer; just close enough for Dawn to feel the warmth of him against her spine, and for a moment all she could think was yes and this. She started to turn, and his hands dropped from her shoulders. He stepped away for a moment, Dawn was very nearly crying, because it was one thing if he wasn't interested or didn't notice, but it was kind of another if he was just messing with her.
Dawn wasn't big on playing games, and she didn't like the idea of someone deciding to play one with her but he didn't look like the one to play games. His face was carefully blank, and he was breathing deep and slow, in through the nose and out through the mouth, "I kissed you because I have feelings for you." He said to her, he looked down and saw that his hands on her wrist, and seemed a little surprised at finding it there. His thumb rubbed a slow circle over her pulse, almost thoughtfully, and Dawn let out a shaky little breath. "You have feelings for me?" she asked him, he nodded smiling while looking deeply into her eyes. His thumbs were still sliding lightly across the sensitive skin above her palm, and meet her eyes. He tugged her wrist gently until she was leaning into him, and this close she could tell that his breathing was a little uneven, too. She had just a moment to feel gratified by that before he kissed her again.
She opened the bathroom door and Tony was sitting on the chair. "Hey Melissa, we finished making the Ultraviolet ammo. You just need to test it." Tony said softly and he handed the gun over to her. "Thanks Tony." Melissa said to him smiling at him she put the gun on the bed and sat on the edge of the bed then slipped on a pair of training shoes. "Are you off out?" Tony asked Melissa, she looked up at him, "Well ya it's my job Tony and someone has to test it before the others us it." Melissa told him, she got up from the edge of the bed grabbing the gun. Tony's hands landed on her hip gently pulling her back to him. His hands left her waist and slid up over her shoulder, into her hair. Tony kissed her like he was waiting for her to change her mind, the hand resting against the back of her head tentative but his lips on hers greedy. She reached out and fisted a hand in the collar of his shirt, because he might feel like being a good sport by leaving her with an escape route, but she wasn't nearly so generous. His mouth opened beneath hers, wet and hot, and the slide of his tongue against hers, the faint noise of startled wanting that he made when she nipped at his lower lip.
The hand in her hair was firmer now, and there was another on her hip, tugging her gently but inexorably closer. His hand left her hip, and she almost protested but then there was an arm hooked around her waist, pulling her tight up against him, chest and stomach and hips and she didn't really feel that she could be blamed for grinding down on his lap, just a little, and making him moan. He felt so good, and she had wanted this for so long. Heat pooled between her legs, coiled tight in her stomach, and when Tony broke the kiss she chased after him. His eyes were dark, pupils blown wide, but he huffed out a wobbly little laugh and Tony rested his forehead against hers rather than letting her kiss again. She kissed his chin before slowly pulled away from him and picked up a black baggy hoddie and put it on slowly she could fell Tony's eyes watching her. Melissa looked back at him and smiled, he was grinning at her, as she was about to walk over to the door when Willow ran in, "It's done Angel has his soul back." Willow said to her, "Really good job Willow." Melissa said to her and hugged her. "He rang he is on his way here." Willow told her and Tony. "Good to know we are a man up know I this battle." He said to her, "Ya but we still have no idea where Glory is?" Melissa said to him, he walked over to her, "We'll stop her. We always stop the bad guys." He said trying to reassure her, she nodded and him and gave him a faint smile.
"GET AWAY!" somebody screamed, "Who was that?" Tony asked, "I dunno but I wanna find out." Melissa said to him as she ran out of her room down the hall. Willow and Tony soon followed after, Melissa head towards the screaming. She burst into the training room and there was Glory cornering Darcy, Erik was dead, Clint, Steve Jane and Nat were knocked out. Glory put her hands in to the sides of Darcy's head. "No!" Melissa ran over and pulled Glory off. Melissa throws a punch and Glory caught it, "Oh wow you have superpowers. Can you fly?" she asked as she picked up Melissa and throw her across the room. Willow's eyes turned black and her hair is blown back by an unseen wind. Willow began to chant, "Kali, Hera, Kronos, Tonic..." She floats into the room toward Glory as the minions flee. She continues on to say, "Air like nectar, thick as onyx..." We see that her eyes are completely black. Willow continued on chanting, "Cassiel by your second star..." Willow was almost finished with the spell, "Hold mine victim as in tar." The air around Glory shimmers and she suddenly cannot move forward. s
She looks at Willow in surprise. Willow finished the spell by saying, "I ...owe...you ...pain!" Blue lightning flashes out of Willow's hands toward Glory. Glory screams and clutches her shoulders. Tony ran over to Melissa, "Are you alright?" Melissa nodded; Willow looked at the glass mirror on the wall, "Shatter." The mirrors in the room all shatter and the glass flies toward Glory, slicing her dress into shreds but not harming her. She pulls off the shreds of her dress, revealing a black negligee underneath.
Glory backhands Willow, who flies across the room and landing on the floor. "Tony get everyone out of here." Melissa said to him, Tony looked at her a bit confused but he helped up others. Willow lifts her head. Her eyes are still all black. Willow gets to her feet, wearing a very angry expression. There's a small trickle of blood coming out of her mouth and down her chin. It slides across the floor toward Willow, who turns to look at it. The bag opens of its own accord. Glory looked amused, "what's this? Bag of tricks?" A bunch of daggers fly up out of the bag. Willow looked at Glory and said, "Bag of knives." The daggers fly toward Glory, who bats them all aside. Melissa saw one dagger heading for Tony. She drove on top of him and it buries itself in the wall. Tony looked at her and said, "Thanks sweet cakes." Glory said to Willow, "Now this is getting weak." She grabs Willow by the throat and pulls her to a sitting position. She continued on to say, "And so are you, honey. Aren't ya?"
Willow spits in her face. Glory looks startled. Glory grabs Willow's arm and drags her across the floor to where one of the daggers is lying. Glory scoops it up and continues dragging Willow. Willow said, "No!" Glory pulls Willow up and shoves her against the wall, holding her by the throat. Glory said to Willow, "Know what they used to do to witches, lover?" Brings up her other hand with the dagger, "Crucify 'em." Glory pulls her arm back to stab with the knife, Melissa grabbed Glory's arm. "They used to bow down to gods." Glory smiles in delight. Melissa kicks her in the stomach and she lets go of Willow, who falls to the floor. Melissa twists Glory's arm aside, punches her. Melissa said, "Things change." Melissa cartwheels across the floor to kick Glory in the face, punch her a few times, kick her again spins around to punch but Glory blocks. Melissa does a flip and kicks Glory in the face, comes back upright and throws another couple of punches which Glory evades. Glory pins Melissa's arm behind her back and throws to the ground. Glory said, "That witch barely slowed me down." Glory glares at Melissa. Melissa kicks the bench, which flies forward and pins Glory against the wall. Melissa runs over to Willow, helps her up. Glory shoves the bench aside and stalks towards them. Melissa begins to lead Willow out of the training room. Willow looked over her shoulder, "Thicken." The air around Glory thickens, rendering her immobile. Melissa, Tony and Willow run out of the training room. Glory shouting at them, "This isn't over, you hear me? It isn't over!" She watches them go with an annoyed sigh. Amora appeared and grabbed Glory and teleported out of the tower. Melissa, Willow and Tony fell to the ground when Willows spell was broken and they rested for a second. "Looks like you guys could use a hand." Melissa looked up and saw Angel, "Angel, it's you? You have your soul back?" Melissa asked him, he nodded. Angel helped up Willow and Tony helped up Melissa, he rested one hand on the small of her back and whispered to her softly, "We need to talk later." She nodded at looked at him and said softly, "Ya I think we should." "Darcy, are you ok?" Melissa asked her, "Big Day its coming Big Day." Darcy said to Melissa, "It's Glory's spell but if I get close enough to Glory I can reverse the spell." Willow said to her, Melissa nodded.
