home sweet alien home

[slayers_desire]

April had insisted for Rain and her to stay on the beach until the sunrise, she wanted to watch it with him. It had been so long since she enjoyed the sun, she just wanted to feel the warmth of the sun on her skin.

After wards, she changed (and insisted Rain did too), before using her PINpoint to open a portal to where they would find her mother. The strange thing was, she didn't give Rain a PINpoint to use himself. And that it seemed, the code she used was protected by a password.

Seconds later, when they appeared on a sidewalk heading up to a home, located near a beach itself. Rain would note, just by the surroundings, that this was definitely did not look like his home dimension and thus was not April's home dimension either. In fact, it was almost a... fifties type of neighborhood.

"This is it..." April breathed. Taking his hand.

HAH! Nice!

Rain smiles when she takes his hand. "I'm sure she'll teach me well Ms. Quinn. You should be very proud of her."

"I have always been proud of my daughter." Harley notes. She reflects on the decision for a minute, then softly states. "I do not think you can continue to live here, April. The citizens of the City were hesitant enough to accept you before."

"I know Mother. I was planning to set up my own place." April neglects to mention it will be the same place she is arranging for Rain to stay.

Rain nods. "I can see why you would be." He replies to Harley. He's a bit worried that this news that April has brought her has cast him in a bad light. So much for first impressions.

"If it would help you both, you may take your father's library." Harley replied softly. Guess that first impression was not as bad as Rain was thinking.

"That would be a great addition to the training area I was hoping to create." April smiled.

"Thank you Ms. Quinn. That's very kind of you." Rain says gratefully. He was glad to see April smiling.

"Call me Harley. Please. Quinn is not really my last name." Harley stated simply.

"Hence why I don't really have a last name either. Mother never went by her maiden name. And father... well he hated his last name, and much preferred going by Spike."

That is most likely the first time April mentioned her father by name. Maybe Rain will connect it to his Buffy dreams.

[chimera-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Sure. I'm sorry, manners and all." he shrugged helplessly but smiled.

Rain DID connect it to his Buffy dreams. He had dreamed of a lot of interesting interactions between the two, and some...disturbing.

"I know the name, don't know much about him outside my dreams though."

"What would you like to know?" Harley was curious. So was April.

[chimera-slayer.livejournal.com]

What was he gonna ask? Was his dream true? Did he rape the slayer? He sure as hell wasn't gonna ask that.

"Well most of what I'd want to know is probably in some book somewhere. I guess I could ask how he helped with the whole unlocking the potentials fiasco."

"Well, Angel had given Buffy an amulet that would channel pure sunlight into the First Evil's lair, killing all the vampires. Buffy gave it to Spike... and Spike used the amulet to kill the vampires and ensure Buffy got out free." Harley replied.

[chimera-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Wow.. pretty selfless. Waitasec... he's a vampire. How'd he survive the sunlight himself? I mean obviously he did because here's his daughter."

[slayers-desire.livejournal.com]

"Well... um... the amulet resurrected Spike, but into a ghost-form." Harley explained. "He had to prove himself, to return to the man he was."

"And that was the one that mother met in the Nexus."

[chimera-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Ohhh.. I see." He says with a nod. "Well I'm glad she did so that I could meet you." he says to April.

[slayers-desire.livejournal.com]

"Things happen for a reason." April grinned.

[chimera-slayer.livejournal.com]

"That they do." He smiles, happy that Harley seems to be taking this all very well.

"So can he fight?" Harley asked.

"Um... I actually have never seen him fight." April admitted.
