trying to make the pieces fit ((Buffyverse plot))

[slayers_desire]

There was a small gathering of people in the room, doing things that might seem normal. Drinking coffee. Reading a book. Checking sites on the computer. Talking with their neighbor.

But this wasn't a normal day. And despite appearances, these people were all preparing to help save their world.

Most of the 'Scoobies' were here... Xander, Connor, Wes, Lorne, Spike and even Willow had come down for the event. There were others there too... Victor Allen, Clark Kent and Edward Elric.

They were all here to figure out how to create a new Seed. They already had a few clues to go on... but there were still a lot to discuss.

The most recent revelation came after Illyria had deceived the group, and put Clark and April right into the heart of the White Room. Where their memories were taken from them. They had fought free... and now April was more determined than ever to find a way to save her world.

Ed grins and laughs a little. "Thanks... That song's, uh... actually about me and my little brother, Alphonse. First half of it was mine, second half was his." He gives her a bit of a lopsided smile and notes, "You're a Voltaire fan, huh?"

April smiles slightly, see her husband basked in the light that nourishes him. "In a way... when the Mother was testing me at that very end, telling us that I was just The Key... I saw a lot more of Drusilla then, than the other mother's in my life."

"You feel like you were a disappointment to her, pet?"

"A little. But I was able to face that today."

Lorne selects "All For Love" from his songs, the one sung by Sting, Bryan Adams, and Rod Stewart. Then gestures for both Victor and Ed to join him on stage.

"You've never been 'just' anything," Clark tells her, reaching out across the bond, like he's making sure it's still there so he can reach her. "Drusilla never got to know that. But maybe in a way, now she does."

"Yeah, I was involved in the scene for a while. I love Voltaire." She gets up (a bit shyly), offers Ed her hand. "C'mon, one more song?"

[fmalchemist160]

"Voltaire's awesome," Ed agrees. He grins, the expression a bit sheepish, his face a bit red, and accepts her hand. "Okay... can't guarantee I'll know the words though." Aside from Voltaire, Ed mostly listens to a lot of rock and metal, especially the symphonic sub-genre—which, to him, is kind of like a mix between the kind of music he grew up listening to (classical) and his two favourite Tau'ri music genres... a little bit of the old and familiar mixed with a bit of the new and awesome.

There is a soft smile when Clark reaches over the bond, she can sense he is still worried that the bond wouldn't be there. I love you. You are amazing... and so supportive of my life.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

I love you too. The one thing I want more than anything is that you be happy.

"We can stumble through together." She gives his hand a gentle squeeze, then leads the way up onto stage. She has to take the stairs kind of slow, but there you have it.

[fmalchemist160]

Ed chuckles again, squeezes back, and follows her lead, not minding the fact that she has to take the stairs slowly. He decides to help her up the stairs a bit, in fact.
