@BBarnesWinter “Thanks. We don’t get many non-supernatural villains here. I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered one before. It’s all vampires and demons and witches and monsters here.” That was what happened when you lived on a Hell Mouth. Monsters were always coming out of the woodwork.
@spiderblacks “Nice to meet you, Peter Parker. I’m Buffy Summers.” Peter was cute, though that didn’t really surprise her. He had sounded cut beneath his mask. It would be nice to have another person who understood the responsibilities that being a hero of sorts came with. Maybe he —
@BBarnesWinter “Supervillains are not mundane,” she commented. “I’ve dealt with a few of those myself.” She could name a few specific cases, but now was not the time.
“Alright. I’ll give you a hand and you can give me a hand when necessary. We’ll see how we do with it.”
@spiderblacks “You can trust us. They haven’t told anyone I’m the slayer. The monsters know, but regular people? Not so much. Your secret will be safe with us. And I hope that our secrets will be safe with you.”
She had a unique group of friends who all had their secrets. She needed to —
@spiderblacks “I could do that, sure. I know all the places monsters hang out and where the cool kids hang. Sometimes it’s the same place, though I think there are times when I’m less welcome with the cool kids than I am with the monsters. Any way, I could introduce you to my friends. I —
@BBarnesWinter Buffy laughed. She couldn’t help herself. Him calling himself that sounded like her own title.
“You would be the first male slayer. That was pretty good. We could definitely use you on our team if you’re interested. God knows we could use all the help we could get. What do you —
@spiderblacks “I’m the slayer. It’s kinda my thing.” Sometimes she wished it wasn’t. Buffy would have loved a normal life where she didn’t have to fight monsters on a daily basis. She missed being like the other girls her age who only had to worry about getting dates and passing classes.
@BBarnesWinter “If you insist.” Buffy smirked at him. She didn’t know if he’d ever fought a vampire before or not, but she was going to stay nearby in case he needed her to jump in take down the creature herself.
“I’ll just be over here.” Buffy pointed to a nearby gravestone. She would —
@spiderblacks — people and in some cases fed them blood to turn them. That allowed other demons to inhabit people and it spread to more and more people. My job is to kill the vampires to stop them from killing and turning more people. It’s kinda my destiny.”
@spiderblacks “Legend has it that a demon took over a human by first drinking from them to the point of death and then feeding them their blood. That allowed the demon to inhabit the human’s body, but the human was dead. And the demon was still hungry. It had its victim drink from more —
@BBarnesWinter — his heart, and the creature turned to dust.
She sprang to her feet and looked around her. “You might as well come on out. I can smell you from here. You do know that you don’t literally take a dirt nap, right?”
@BBarnesWinter Buffy immediately sprang into action. She lunged for the nascent vampire and knocked him backward. He let out a grunt of surprise and struggled beneath her.
He rolled on top of Buffy and prepared to bite her. She had positioned her stake so that it would go straight through —
@spiderblacks “Well, that’s a relief,” she said sarcastically. “He should still be killable. We can’t risk him passing that enzyme on to other people, whether it’s intentional or not. That would be disastrous to humanity. I wonder how managed to do with ending up with the demon and losing —
@BBarnesWinter She looked him up and down and nodded. “I believe that. I little something about the Avengers and what they can do. I’m pretty sure none of you would have any trouble handling yourself in a fight with a vampire or anything else.”
Buffy tapped her foot impatiently. “Stick —
