“Well, as someone with powers, Italy is the last place I’d want to go uninvited,” Jotaro explains somewhat seriously.
Giles frowns. “Well, I suppose there was that one Master Vampire that might take exception to newcomers…”
Kakyoin gets a call, turns to one of the more senior Slayers in the room, and then excuses himself.
The man frowns and then mutters something that is probably a curse, considering how a few of the Japanese Slayers blush and Kakyoin frowns at his friend. He continues, heedless, blunt. “We’ve all been so sidetracked by worrying about Josephine, we forgot about something staring in our face.” He pauses, as if waiting for the same to occur to his friend, then sighs. “We ended up here through the powers of another Stand User. We’re from an…adjacent dimension? We had no idea what we’d find on the other side. When we first arrived, no one had even heard of the Speedwagon Foundation. But by this point, they’ve been able to provide some help, which is a big change. Had any of you heard of them before? Or Stands, or vampires of the kind we deal with?”
There’s a lot of shaking heads to his statement, and even Riley looks a little intrigued. “I hadn’t, and I work some pretty top-secret stuff for the US Military. Anything really out of the ordinary gets passed along to my division,” he explains, realizing suddenly that not everyone would actually know him.
“What’re you getting at, big boy?” Faith asks, looking intrigued.
Jotaro pauses, looking frustrated. “I’m not sure.”
Buffy notices, however, that Dawn is a little quieter than normal, and pokes her in the side with an iron elbow. She gets a wince and a stuck out tongue in return.
“Come on, Dawnie, spill it. I know that look. That is your ‘I ate the cake late at night again’ guilt face.”
The guilt gets worse, but Dawn huffs and crosses her arms. “I really, um. I hate being not-so-normal sometimes.” Before anyone else can speak, she cuts them off. “I’ve never, you know. Noticed anything about being not-human, but at some point, fairly recently I think, I noticed…” She sighs. “It was like the world wasn’t stable, or something, and you know, I like this world and being your sister and everyone we know. And I just thought something about not wanting the world to end, and it felt stable again…”
Buffy blinks. It’s to the point where they sort of take Dawn’s status for granted and don’t think about it anymore. She’s just a normal human most of the time, and other than the occasional kidnapping from those who sense her power they thought she couldn’t use, so this comes as a surprise. Given the family, though, there’s only one real response she can have to this… “And when were you planning on telling me?”
She barely notices Kakyoin, accompanied by four others, including Angel trailing after, re-enter the room. She has to concentrate all of her disappointed-elder-sister glare powers.
Dawn looks sheepish. “Well, it was late at night, and I thought it might have been a dream…” She trails off. “…I’ll tell you next time,” she answers, and Buffy nods.
“That’s better.” She turns to the others, who look a little confused. “It’s a long story and it’s a little hard to explain, but it’s probably a side effect of whatever Dawnie did. She doesn’t use her power much, so whatever she did, she probably did by accident.”|
Jotaro’s eyes narrow, and Dawn starts looking nervous.
Kakyoin places a reassuring hand on her arm. “He wasn’t complaining.” He hesitates, then adds, “This would also explain the calendar problem.”
Giles looks troubled, but doesn’t actually ask the question. It’s Willow who asks the inevitable question. “Um, what calendar problem?”
“It’s 2005,” Kakyoin explains, somewhat hesitantly. That earns a grunt from Jotaro and a distracted “What? Really?” from Xander’s grandfather, just before he gets hit by a tail in the face and goes sailing.
It occurs to Buffy that they should probably be a little more concerned about that than just a simple ‘oh, he’s going to have to hurry to get back into that fight’, but then, they’ve been very lucky about avoiding concussions through the years. Even Xander, before he’d joined the ranks of the not-so-normal.
“W-well, I didn’t really have much in the way of expectations when I entered a different dimension, so I can’t say I’m all that surprised,” one of the newcomers offers. He’s a little short—and shy—but the woman behind him has a glare for everyone and everything that’s a little intimidating, even to Slayers.
Kakyoin looks a little sheepish, but he nods. “It’s been important in several videogames. I’ve learned to pay attention to little details.”
“Yare yare.” Yet Jotaro doesn’t really look annoyed, just dryly amused. The smoking break really did help his attitude.
“You and Xander would get along,” Dawn informs the pink-haired man.
“Okay, if we’re done comparing dimensions,” Buffy states, and then makes a sour face. “And we’ll all pretend I didn’t just say that. Does anyone else have anything else to add?”
“I dunno, B, I’d like to just focus on this moment a little,” Faith responds, before chuckling. “Yeah, I know. I’m just teasing you, lighten up.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have anything to add,” Riley states, and that she can completely believe. He hates feeling useless. “There’s been mutterings about some ‘Siphon’, but we haven’t been able to get any useful intel about what this demon might be like. And we haven’t been able to find any useful prophecies about it, although it’d probably help if one of our generals hadn’t lost it and decided to try to burn everything and go on a demonic genocide.” He sees her open her mouth and interrupts. “We dealt with it, though I’d almost wish you were here with me. Almost, aside from the fact that he was completely human.”
Her shoulders slump, but she nods. “Outside my jurisdiction. Though I made a bit of an exception for Walsh.”
Riley winces, but there’s an amused light in his eyes. “Pretty sure that when you declare yourself Dr. Frankenstein, you’re stepping over the thin line dividing ‘human’ from ‘monster’.”
Several of the Slayers laugh, and there’s agreement.
