Boston is Burning

Part 68

The ritual was almost ready. Soon they would call forth demons that were larger and stronger than the demons that the slayers were used to dealing with. The twin brothers had learned that the Buffy Summers was responsible for the death of their sister Gloryificus. While neither demon was overly fond of their sister they did feel that her death should be avenged and that she had the right idea about desiring to rule all the dimensions. The only issue they had had with her was she was unwilling to share.

Brash and Bolden were determined to avenge her loss. They had never intended for her to be destroyed merely to have time to think and reflect on the value of family. She had fallen to the slayer and the fact that she had been killed in the process shethr slayer was however back and they did not like that all. So taking the slayers world and ending the slayer down was vital to their long term goals. When they had been contacted by the human known as Post they had been a little wary. However they did accept that he was perhaps their best chance at gaining revenge. They waited as he sacrificed the humans to open the portal that would allow them to come through. He had tied several humans for them to choose from as hosts. It would be very interesting to walk the world that their sibling seemed had so desired leaving that she risked her life to do so.

The meeting was tense. It was clear to Maura that the various law enforcement people had a lot to process. Even she and Jane had difficulty doing so. It was not simple or easy to have your world view shattered. Then there were the countless deaths. All for someone's perverted idea of how to protect the world. It did not sit well with her either. However damning the current slayers for a system they had inherited was wrong.

"We understand this is a lot to take in. What each of you need to understand is that Buffy and her associates did not create the system and that they are as angry about this as you are. Each one of them have paid a high price to become who and what they are."

"What are they?" Sara snarked. "Honestly they are at best vigilantes who take the law into their own hands. They are part of a group that has killed hundreds of innocent little girls and young women and they freely admit to protecting vampires who the last time I checked eat us. Now I am by no means an expert on this supernatural crap but that doesn't seem right. Not to mention they are associating with known criminals and the underworld. Sorry Catherine but you know your father Sam Braun and Maura Isles father Paddy Doyle and Mistress Heather are not good people. How many bodies are on them? I am not sure we should be working with them. It will taint anything we gather."

Maura bristled. As if she would taint evidence.

"She does have a point." Stabler said. "Look I not an expert but, I am a father and I am not sure….working with you is safe or wise. I want to catch the killers and lock them up but somehow I don't think that is in your plans is it?"

"I suppose that is a fair question." Faith said. She looked at the others. "Look we don't kill humans, we will do our best to catch them and turn them over to you all to prosecute. However, that being said we will defend ourselves it is no more than you would do if someone tried to kill you. The things we deal with cannot be locked up in a jail cell. They don't have morals and they can't be rehabilitated. Yes there are a few rare exceptions to that rule. Then again even some criminals can reform. Most of the time however it's best to end the problem with a stake. We are the law in our world detective. We don't carry badges but the big bads they know we are the ones to protect humanity. We are not perfect and we can and do make some big mistakes. However you have to understand that we will all." Faith pointed to each slayer and Wicca, supernatural being in the room and said."We will all fight and die to keep this world turning and we will likely do so sooner rather than later."

"We Wicca live by some very strict rules Detective. Do no harm is the greatest of these." Lady Heather said. "Am I a dome, yes, however that is part of my counciling not a part of the Wicca per say. While some do not understand my world or methods I do what I can to mend or mold those in need. Sometimes people are not simple or easy or what you would call normal. That however does not mean they can't live good and productive lives if given the proper discipline and guidance."

"She is right." Larry said. "Her counciling has helped me stay sane. Without it I dare say I would have gone off the deep end. While I am sure some of my friends believe I have at times it would have been far worse had Lady Heather not taken me in hand. I am sane because of her and her methods. Normal mind healing did not work for me. Do not judge what you are not willing to accept or explore. The supernatural world is primeval and it has differing rules and guidelines. Our civilization survives because women like the wiccans and slayers step up. They live short painful lives so we can live long and prosperous ones. I for one am rather tired of Miss Sidel's snarky comments. While she has some points that are perhaps valid you all were invited into this to help us solve the murders and not judge our lifestyles. If you can't bring positive inputs you should return home lest you become a distraction that gives our enemies room to move."

The Gods stepped out and into their human hosts. The males that the Post fellow found for them were useless however Post and Travers were a good fit. They chuckled at the foolish humans as if they would be bound. Even Glory had controlled Ben. Ah it was time to see what this world had to offer. They looked through their hosts eyes and grinned this time they would always be in control. No turning into the weak human form. This form was strong at all times. Of course Glory had only been weak because it had been designed to make her think. Oh well live and learn. They left the ritual room and sent their minions out to scout the city. They had to learn as much as they could because Boston was soon to become their golden city.
