Spike shifted in his chair uneasily. "I just can't bloody believe it..I'm a father...OF BUFFY'S CHILD?!"
"I couldn't believe it either...why she found any interest in you..let alone let your demon spawn live inside her for months is beyond me." Xander said while pacing the room.
"Xander, that's not helping matters at all..we need to work together..they called us here for a reason." Fred said as she glanced at Xander.
Spike poured himself another glass of brandy, and drank it.
"Wait, so your saying..out of all the bloody people to choose to help in this great battle...hell on earth..mumble jumble he choose monkey boy over here..to fight..."
"Hey now..you peroxide...bleached hair.."
"Nancy boy!"
"Christ, will you two stop, look don't you see it is an honor..they called us here..for some greater purpose." Fred said as she stepped between the two.
Spike laughed and said, "Well love, if you haven't noticed your not exactly in tiptop shape...how old are you..like..55 now?"
"48, Spike." She said while giving him a dirty look.
Spike looked around the room.
"Quit a nice place...good to know while everyone is outside dying...their living quite posh.
Exactly how does Captain...Daniels expect a couple of geriartic humans, and an aging but sexy vampire to go about saving the world?"
"How are you aging...if your dead...Spike?" Xander said as he laughed mockingly.
"I don't know it just kind of made sense in my head...but that's not the point---"
"Fred!they called you here, what about the others? have you heard from Wesley, and Gunn--"
"Oh, my god.. no one bloody told me Angel would be here.. this is bollox! I'm leaving!"
Said Spike as he grabbed his suitcase.
Angel moved in front of the door blocking his exit.
"Spike, I'm happy to see you also..but maybe you haven't noticed...the whole hell on earth outside...personally I'd rather stay in here any day....than to be out there..look Spike we have out differences..but our services are needed here.. we have to help. Whatever happened to soulful Spike?"
"He died in a bloody fire." Spike said as he dropped his suitcase.
"Fine, I'll stay but not because of you birds...but because you know saving the world is what I do."
They all rolled their eyes, except for Xander who sat on the chair and rested his face into his hands.
"Why are we called now...the war is practically over..the master..is going to be released within what three weeks..what can we possibly do that the annointed ones
haven't done?"

"Live." Spike said.
Xander angrily grabbed a magazine off the rack and threw it at Spike's head. "God, Xander, it has been twenty years...you think someone would have grown up by now."
"Spike, Xander why don't we stop the namecalling for like two seconds!"Yelled Angel.
Xander and Spike both looked at him with disgust.
Suddenly the door opened and Captain Daniels and company entered the room. "Pleasure to meet you all..I'm Captain Daniels we're apart of the new council. We need your help..you have had experience defeating the first before...and we need you here...to resurrect her."

Xander leapt out of his chair and pointed at the captain.
"Are you talking about resurecting BUFFY? No, we took her out of heaven once were not taking--"
"Technically you, willow, Tara, and Anya took her out of heaven.." Said Spike.
"Spike shut the hell up!" Xandra yelled.
Spike threw up his hands as in defense.
Captain Daniel stared at him meancingly. "Look, boy I'd advise you to get that hand out my face, second you are all here under direct orders, you will obey what I SAY."

Angel approached him, "I don't understand..Fred, and I..and even Spike over here didn't resurrect Buffy why ARE we here?"
"Easy, you all have knowledge of the first. Yes, the first is a 100 times stronger than before, yes our slayers...the ones left have evolved into something much more powerful than even Buffy could imagine. Not just strength, brains, but Psychic powers. The whole package. Buffy, is the key."
Spike shook his head in disgust. "I know what your saying and I don't bloody liked it. Buffy died, and that ...that screwed up the line...she's the key to ending this..your going to bring her back only to kill her again!"
"WRONG! You, and your what do they call it scoobies..were responsible for majorly screwing up the line..Buffy's death didn't affect it at all. She was simply out of the lineup."
"Then why do you need her." Angel said.
"The slayer has died three times."
"Twice." Xander said.
"Am I correct that she flatlined at one point?"
"Yes, but how..do you know that?"
"We can see the past..as well as the future..and without Buffy it's pretty damn bleak."
Fred looked up at Daniels in confusion. "That doesn't make sense..why is Buffy the key..why is she any different from any of the other dead slayers..why not use the newly evolved slayer?"
"Unlike, the other slayers she has died and been brought back, she has defeated the master, and the first. Something my girls cannot even do."
Xander stopped pacing when he heard him say "my girls."
Why did that sound so familiar? It wasn't just what he said..but how he said it. His voice had a southern accent to it, but Xander couldn't place it.
"Sorry, for being a little rude..just ...a little jumpy..angry..I've seen five of my girls die in the past week...and my men..I just need to..I need to find out what the slayer had..to defeat it. And maybe just maybe she can lead the others into battle and defeat the first evil. I don't mean she's the key..as in to kill her..No..she needs to live. To save the world." Daniels said.
"So, what do you say..are you willing to help..me resurrect her..and to fight in the battle?" Daniel said with a smile.
Fred nodded, Xander did also, and so did Angel but with hesitance.
Spike eyed him suspiciously but nodded.
"Well then, I expect to see you guy...and gal in the meeting room..and an hour. Easy to find..if not ask someone on the way."
Daniels smiled again sending a chill down Spike's spine.
"I don't like him." He said.
"Your right, something doesn't make..sense..wait did I just agree with Spike here?" Angel said.
Fred patted Angel on the shoulder gently."Look, Angel..Spike I understand why..you feel this way..but I really feel he's doing this to help save the world..and that's what were here to do."
"Question..am I the only one..who thinks..the southern accent..is creepy..but VERRY familiar..?" Said Xander.
Angel and Fred both gave him a strange look.
"Well..I'm going to get ready..for the meeting. I'll catch you guys later..."Fred said as she quickly walked out the room.
"On that note, I guess I'll go..explore the place..or I don't know what walkroom.." Angel said as he disappeared out the door.
Spike looked at Xander with curiousity.
"Whatever it is Spike, don't say it. I went from hating you..to disliking you..don't mess it up."
"I really don't care..you think it's all about you..Xander, Xander, Xander! But anyways, you noticed the ...accent also..it just seems so familiar...his voice."
"As much as I hate to agree..your right." Xander said.
"Do you think Buffy wants to come back again?"
"You know the sad thing..I didn't know she died until a few hours ago."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I know you hate me Xander..but I loved her."
"I know..what you mean Spike..I love her. Let's just pray this time..she'll be happy to be back."
"In what this hellhole?"
"Spike, just shutup."
"I can't believe this."
"Believe what"
"I'm a father..hundreds of years..later..I'm a bloody dad"
"Oh, your just oozing father material"
"Maybe, I should get her something...a barbie..doll..or something little girls like.
"Spike, she's 19..I don't think dolls would do the trick."
"Your right..." Spike said as he paced the room.
"I can't wait to see her, bet she's blonde just like her mother...I wonder what kind of stuff she likes? What kind of music...I bet she's gorgeous..I'm dying to see her!"
"Spike."
"Yeah?"
"Shutup."
