A/N: Well it's here, finally. But quicker then usual. Yay me!
The Scoobies made their way to the campus that held the Initiative compound. They were backed up by quite a few Initiative soldiers who could help add numbers to their group and then with the actual getting in to the Initiative.
They walked through the doors of Lowell House and broke off to check around the area for anyone. It ended up being deserted, so the soldiers led them to the emergency entrance of the Initiative. Walking over to a wall near a glass mirror they stood staring before one of the soldiers rolled their eyes and said that yes, behind the wall was an emergency staircase.
‘Get ready.’ Buffy spoke before looking to Giles and giving him a nod that it was time. He took a mobile phone out of his pocket and dialled Willow. 1, 2, 3 rings and then he hung up. Another nod to Buffy and they were going in. Instead of the easy enough, sliding the panel away slowly and steadily from it’s place, Buffy went for the quicker route, which was kicking it down and rushing down the revealed stairs followed by the others.
As soon as they entered it seemed to be utter pandemonium, Willow was quick. The sirens were blaring and the red warning lights were flashing and soldiers were running around frantically. Telling each other they would meet up either outside of the campus or at Giles’s house they all split up again to do their particular bit of the plan.
The plan was that the soldiers would get as many of their ‘buddies’ out as possible and then leave while Spike and Xander went to rescue Oz and Dru, any soldiers they ran into were fair game. Giles and Buffy would take out any of the more hostile demons and help any of the peaceful ones. They all ran off into their respective directions ready to meet up later.
Xander and Spike tried to use their vampire sense of smell to sniff out the scent of either Dru or Oz, but there was a strong underlying whiff of hospital cleanness. The fragrance of bleach, disinfectant and any other cleaning product as well as the faint mingled scents of other demons was so pungent that there was no hope of getting to Dru and Oz quickly and easily. A heavy duty round of searching was in order.
They ran down corridors randomly, not knowing where they were going as each turn seemed like they were running in a maze. As they went along the corridors they took out any Initiative people they saw, whether it was soldiers or scientists. If they had been in their human forms no one would have looked twice, but with their game faces on, so as to instantly get a scent of Dru or Oz if they were close, everyone there knew what they were and took hostile measures against them. Soldier and scientist body parts trailed behind them, scattered where they were tossed from the fights undertaken.
Coming round one corner there was a strong scent of blood, human, but then the faintest scent of . . Oz. Avoiding the puddle of blood spreading across the floor; and soldier body that lay headless from which the blood was seeping from, they made their way closer to Oz‘s scent. In passing Spike noticed that it looked like a demon’s claws had ripped right through the soldier’s neck and pulled off it’s tormentors head. He couldn’t help but smile at the fact.
They found Oz in human form lying naked on the floor to one of the open cells. He had been trying to crawl out from the opposite side of the room if the blood trail was any clue, but hadn’t made it that far as he was still had half way to go.
Spike and Xander both ran over to the prone figure. They turned him over and were shocked to see the amount of damage his body had undergone. Track marks could be seen all along his arms from multiple injections and little drops of metal still clung to his body, burning through skin where they made contact. There was also deep gashes that ran round each wrist and ankle, probably from whatever restraints they used on him.
Spike shook him slightly, knowing he was jarring any of the wounds on Oz’s body, but needing him awake and to at least be able to talk to him.
Oz’s eyes snapped open and slowly started to bleed black, ready for his transformation, all be it a slow one.
‘Now, now Wolf boy. Stop that. Here to help, so calm down.’ Oz took a deep breath and recognition returned to his eyes. They changed back to normal colour and he began to snuggle closer to a part of his family. ‘Luv, get the dead guards pants for Oz here.’ Spike didn’t turn to Xander as he spoke still patting the shaking boy in his arms, calming him as much as possible.
Oz was finally clothed and seemed more responsive. They had tried to clean him up as best as possible, using some ripped up material nearby to wipe away most of the grime and blood. So now it was time to get some information out of him.
‘You ok to speak?’ Oz gave a slow nod and Spike continued. ‘So, what happened?’
‘Initiative barged into the house. We fought a lot off, but there was too many for just me and Dru. I tried to protect her, get in the way of the tazers so she could run.’
‘But she was trying to protect you and wouldn’t go, right?’ Oz nodded at Spike’s understanding.
‘We ended up here, bright lights, white walls, electrified cells and disgusting smells. I was taken after I woke up, to a lab, operating room or something. Did things. . .’ Oz trailed off as he started to scratch at his skin remembering needles and the burning sensation they produced. Spike grabbed at his hand holding him off from scratching himself raw. Xander came down next to them also helping to calm Oz by helping with the reassuring touches. Finally Oz carried on.
‘Couldn’t move, felt really weak. Then they came for Drusilla. She seemed really out of it, worse then in one of her fits, I think they drugged her. They wheeled her away on a gurney.’
Xander was shocked at the amount of words Oz had produced, he realised that he must really be upset to say so much. However while Xander was mulling over Oz, Spike was thinking of a way to find Dru.
‘Do you think you could find this lab again or were you completely knocked out?’
‘No I saw some of it, but not all. I woke up on the table.’ Oz gave an involuntary shiver from head to toe as he stared off unseeingly at the white wall in front of him.
‘Well let’s see if you can lead us half way there then.’ and Spike made sure that he was able to support the slightly limping Oz before they made their way out of the holding cells.
The walked through a couple of corridors, directed by a point of Oz’s hand. They hadn’t come across a single soldier on their journey to find Dru, they’d probably mostly all made it out by now, only a few stragglers left behind, wondering some other parts of the Initiative. A while later they came to a corridor that seemed to fork off into two different directions.
‘Which way Oz man?’ Xander finally spoke up having kept quiet while they had searched. Oz got a confused look on his face uncertainty clouding his features.
‘I don’t know. I don’t remember.’ he shook his head slightly, hoping to shake some memory loose, but nothing was forthcoming.
Both Spike and Xander gave a heavy sigh and both turned wide eyed as a very faint, but familiar scent was picked up. It was there under all the smell of cleaners and bleach. The distinct smell of Dru. They grinned hugely and Spike pulled Oz into a gentle one armed hug.
‘Good on you Wolf boy. We’ll get Dru back now no probs.’
Making their way down the left hand corridor they came face to face with a pair of soldiers who were just coming out of one of the rooms. Spike placed Oz leaning against the wall knowing that he still wasn’t strong enough to get in on the fighting, but they all knew that the soldiers didn’t stand a chance.
Before they could even bring up their weapons Xander and Spike had them knocked out of their hands. Oz could be heard growling as they fought and knowing how agitated he must be getting, both Xander and Spike decided to make the fight quick. Working with a synchronicity that could only be picked up from fighting together often they grabbed their own soldier and with a quick yank broke one arm each. Twin howls exploded from each of the soldiers mouths as they clutched their arms tightly to their body.
Knowing that right now, Dru was a priority and that the injured men’s priorities were their broken arms they left them there to run off and seek help, if they escaped from the Initiative base. If Spike wasn’t mistaken a fledge vamp was somewhere around and he would be having two tasty meals.
They carried on further down the corridor, Dru’s scent becoming slightly stronger as they walked. Then as the scent got stronger a sound could be heard. Thudding and pounding and a shrill cry. Rushing the rest of the way, Spike taking most of Oz’s weight so his leg wouldn’t jar, they made it to a thick metal door with a glass panel. And there was Drusilla, game faced and pounding on the door, not stopping until she fully realised who was there.
She calmed down slightly her face loosing the ridges and becoming human again. She peered silently at the group and her voice could be heard faintly through the door.
‘Locked in. No handle on this side Spike.’
They all gave a low growl at seeing Dru locked up and Spike came forward, trying the handle which wouldn’t budge, then ripping it off away from the door to clatter along the corridor floor. With Spike and Xander both pushing, the door was shoved back and slammed hard into the wall, leaving small dents.
‘I missed you all.’ Dru said softly as she walked out of the room, but that soon turned into anger as she saw Oz. She took him into her arms, hugging him tenderly ‘Puppy. Look what those mean men did to you. I shall make them cry for what they’ve done. Naughty toy soldiers will have to be broken, especially if they don‘t play right.’ Oz growled softly, entranced by the words Dru was saying. He was happy that she was going to get revenge for him, but then again he never doubted that she wouldn’t. And by the bouncing Spike was doing on the balls of his feet, he was itching for some more violence himself. So with Dru passing Oz to Xander, her and Spike walked ahead to take on any soldiers.
