Adam yells unintelligibly as he can�t make contact with the vampire, knowing there�s only one reason why he can�t locate him. Mentally berating himself for not having a 24/7 watch on the vamp, Adam unconsciously snarls. Slamming his fists down on top of the computers, he spins around, striding back and forth as his processors sift through what information he had. The ease that he�d taken out the dark-haired slayer, he isn�t really worried about either one of them. But the witch� the witch is another story. Her magic is something he hasn�t been able to come up with a hundred percent proof counter-measure for.

�RACK!!� He growls loudly, turning to face the back of the caves. Watching as the half warlock, half Valderra Demon clambers towards him quickly. Smirking at the remembrance of having lucked across the Warlock, able to knock him out and do the genetic changes to him, along with putting a controlling chip in him.

�Yes, sir.� Rack rests back on his haunches as he looks up at the tall construct that is his tormentor and boss. Dearly wanting to take him out, but the chip not allowing him to harm the monster. The damn thing whistles and he has to come running.

�Have you prepared the spell?� Adam�s eyes narrow as he takes in the squatting hybrid.

�Yes, I have. Though going by what you have movie wise, we�re taking a chance that it might not work. We don�t know how powerful she really, truly is.� Rack explains for the hundredth time.

�I KNOW THAT! You have to incapacitate her long enough for me to take her out. The slayers won�t be any trouble for me, and you have to do everything in your powers, even if it means draining yourself completely, to give me the edge!� Adam snarls as he reaches down to lift the hybrid up and shake him non-too-gently. �UNDERSTOOD?�

�Yes, s-s-sir.� Rack stutters and whimpers as he winces, waiting to be throw into the wall again. His new body doesn�t break when that happens, but the pain he receives is unimaginable.

�Hostile seventeen is gone. I can only assume that the slayers got a hold of him and made him talk. Make your preparations and go to the trees like we planned.� Adam orders him before turning back to the computer and punching in codes quickly to bring what few demons he can get control of to the Cave. �It�s time to bring what few of my brethren are left, home to the fold.� He whispers, his eyes darting between the different maps and what �fixed� demons are left. The override already in place, with pictures of the two slayers and the witch being downloaded into their brains to fight to their last dying breath to take them out.

�Well, let�s see what shakes loose.� Adam rumbles deeply as he finishes his last preparations, knowing that�s all he can do.

Faith steps up to the back door, listening as Tara explains to Willow what she wants her to do. Her lover being patient along with exact with her instructions of what needs to be done while monitoring Willow�s magic levels.

�How�s it going?� Buffy questions softly as she steps up behind Faith.

�She�s getting there. Tara�s letting me monitor what she�s saying and doing, but she insisted on me putting up my blocks so she wouldn�t get distracted by my thoughts.� Faith admits, leaning her forehead against the glass. �I know most people and demons can�t do magic, but it still worries me a bit that something might throw something at the three of them when we�re doing this.�

Buffy clasps Faith�s shoulder and squeezes it gently. Part of her amazed at how close they had become, and the same part wondering how much of it was because they didn�t try hard enough with Faith to make her a part of their group. �This is our best chance, Faith. Tara�s planning on being between them and us, to be there to help whoever needs it the most. You have the same abilities Tara does, plus your slayer strength and agility. You and me going after Frankenstein is the best bet while everyone else is back up, more or less.�

�Yeah. Plus she�s going to have that incantation ready at a moments notice to finish bringing us to full power, if she has to.� Faith admits quietly, knowing that she probably wouldn�t be able to perform it, if she�s in the middle of getting her ass kicked by the behemoth.

�Do you have any idea how strong you�ll be?� Buffy questions curiously.

�No.� Faith answers simply. �But between my having Tara�s magical abilities, her memories and now, this happening.� Faith tucks her hair behind her ear, showing that it was becoming more pointy. �Nothing much will surprise me, unless I grow a tail or something.�

Deciding a touch of levity is called for, Buffy grins and shrugs. �Knowing you two, you�ll probably find a use for it, if you do develop tails.�

Faith snorts at the comment. �We probably would.� Faith reaches up and gently pats Buffy�s hand before shifting and easing by her to hop onto the island watching her. �So, what�s up with you and the Xena wanna-be?�

Buffy moans deeply. �Damn. She drives me insane.� Buffy admits shifting and leaning against the wall with her ankles crossed looking at Faith, but not really seeing her as she pictures the woman. Just now admitting that in a way, she does look a bit like that actress that plays Xena. Which, of course, is sooo not a bad thing, Buffy decides mentally, grinning at the thought. �I like her, a lot.� Buffy finally whispers.

�Good. She seems nice.� Faith smirks at the glazed look coming across Buffy�s eyes.

�Yeah, and boy can she kiss.� Buffy finally rubs a hand over her forehead to get thoughts of the woman�s lips out of her mind. �Do all women kiss that good?�

Faith chuckles and shakes her head. �Hell if I know, B. Tare about knocks my socks off when she kisses me, though. And I do become a major puddle when she�s into the serious lip-lock mode.�

Buffy groans and covers her face with both hands. �That�s not a picture I needed in my head, Faith.�

Faith chuckles. �Damn, B. You�ve seen it and smelled it. What�s the big about me admitting it?�

�Damned if I know.� Buffy finally grumbles between her fingers. �But it always confuses the hell out of me, that you�re the one that�s usually naked, and obviously having been royally�� Buffy blushes darkly and shakes her head. �And Tara�s usually still dressed and grinning like the cat that got the canary.�

�Cream.� Faith smirks as she corrects Buffy and the slayer growls at her. �You just time it wrong, B. Plus Tare will get dressed instead of strutting around the house naked if you�re coming over.�

�And you don�t?� Buffy questions, already knowing the answer.

Faith�s smirk grows huge and she wiggles her eyebrows at the slayer. �I like to irritate in a different way from my lover. She likes to verbally abuse you, while I like the more visual approach.�

�Figures.� Buffy shakes her head and takes a deep breath as she glances out the window. �Giles better hurry up with that Chinese. I�m getting hungry.�

�If he can keep Xan from eating it before he gets back here.� Faith chuckles and hops down from the island to grab a water out of the refrigerator. �Want one?�

�Please.� Buffy accepts the water and twists off the cap to sip on it. �Do you think things are moving too quickly between me and Julie?�

Faith blinks in surprise at the question coming from Buffy. �Why? Do you?�

Buffy shrugs and looks seriously at Faith. �I like her, Faith. I mean, really like her.�

�B, we got short life-spans, no matter what Tare wants to say or think. If you like her, go for it. She�s obviously willing, and more than interested.� Faith offers matching the other slayer�s tones. �You�ve had shit for a love life, B. You�re due for something good to happen.�

Buffy smiles and nods her head. �Thanks, Faith.�

Faith shrugs and hops back on the island as she drinks her water, tuning back in more fully to what Tara and Willow are doing while letting Buffy think about what they�d discussed.

***

Tara finally pats Willow gently on the shoulder. �I think you have a good basis to work from. Short of working on it for a couple weeks, there�s not much more that we can do.�

Willow exhales softly and slowly nods her head. �I never realized how much hard work it is to modulate my magic. I�m just used to��

�Trying to force it.� Tara grins crookedly at the redhead. �You try to overpower the spell by using too much strength, when a steady, slow amount will get you further faster. When this is all over with, I�d like for us to start getting together at least once a week for a couple hours so we can continue your learning. I could tell you�ve been working on your meditations, and have obviously read the books I gave you.�

�Goddess, yes! Though I do have some questions on some of the things.� Willow stands and brushes her jeans off from where the two women had been sitting across from each other on the ground while Tara taught her the spell and worked on helping her learn to monitor the power she fed into it.

�Questions are good. When people don�t have questions, is when I get worried.� Tara groans and slowly stretches her back. Laughing as it finally pops.

�Watch out, I think you�re about to be attacked.� Willow warns as Faith comes barreling out of the house.

�Probably.� Tara chuckles as she feels Faith drop the shields she�d been keeping her thoughts and emotions behind for her. Laughing delightedly as Faith picks her up and spins her around, Tara wraps her arms around her lover�s neck.

�Don�t like keeping you blocked.� Faith buries her face in Tara�s neck. �And it might be a while before I can get lovings, so I�d like to get some kisses before I tell you the foods here.�

�Ohhh. And you haven�t ate yet?� Tara smiles as Faith lets her slide down her body to land on her feet.

�No. I was waiting for you. Though the rest of them were piling up their plates.� Faith lifts her hand to brush her thumb over Tara�s cheek as she listens to Willow shut the door quietly behind her as she finally makes it back in the house after hesitating to watch them for a few seconds. �I know what you think, but I want you to say it. Can she do it?�

Tara nods her head. �She can. I wish we had a couple weeks to work with her some more, but we don�t have the time.� Tara relaxes into her lover and presses a soft kiss against Faith�s lips. �She has a lot of power inside her, so her running out doesn�t really worry me.�

�No, as long as she doesn�t go full throttle.� Faith rubs her cheek against Tara�s.

�Yeah.� Tara smiles as she feels Faith pressing soft kisses slowly down her jaw line. Hearing her lover�s stomach grumble, Tara chuckles softly. �Let�s feed the beast.�

�Which one?� Faith grumbles, nipping gently on Tara�s chin before sighing quietly. �Don�t even bother answering that. Let�s eat, babe. We�ve got some serious Frankenweenie ass to kick.�

�Thank the Goddess we�re not eating hot dogs.� Tara smacks Faith firmly on the ass and hurriedly strides towards the house.

�You�ll pay for that.� Faith calls after Tara, grinning as she hears the laughter coming from her lover. Striding after Tara, Faith takes a deep breath, knowing that the fun and games is about to be over for the night.

***

Tara paces back and forth as they wait for Buffy and Faith to come back to them while they scout ahead of the rest of the group to make sure Adam is in the caves. They had already came across two different demons on the way up to the caves, Faith and Buffy taking them on and dispatching them within fifteen minutes.

Silently wondering what other surprises the Adam construct has in store for them, Tara keeps her eyes peeled while Willow�s already working on the protective spell around her, Giles and Xander as she holds the ropes they�d tied around both men. Realizing as long as she was in touch with something that was touching them that the spell worked, and this option gives them a lot more room to maneuver. The scope of the spell literally adjusting to expand automatically to three feet ahead of whoever�s furthest out, in a perfect circle around them.

Running her hands through her hair as she checks Faith�s thoughts without being obtrusive, she has to smile at the mental bitching her lover is doing about the long hike to the caves. Shaking her head as she thinks about how much running Faith does, and she�s bitching about a couple mile hike through the woods.

***

�Something or things been through here recently.� Faith barely breathes the words as she and Buffy work their way slowly and cautiously towards the caves, stopping frequently whenever they hear something that gives them pause. �Fuckin� hate the woods.�

�You and me both.� Buffy answers just as softly. �Too many places for things to hide and disappear to. Plus my damn senses have been going crazy for the last thirty yards or so.�

�Yeah, me too.� Faith admits, though not hearing, seeing or smelling anything. �I think he�s here, B. Got that low down feeling.�

Buffy sighs, knowing what Faith�s talking about, as she feels it too. �Let�s go back and grab the rest of the group.� Buffy growls softly, really not liking the fact that she can�t get a bead on whatever is setting off her senses.

�Double time?� Faith questions as both women split off and work their way around, heading back towards the rest of the group.

�Definitely.� Buffy answers as she picks up her pace and the two women work their way quickly back to the group on a parallel course, unconsciously keeping track of each other while making sure nothing comes after them.
