madimpossibledreamerI’m not sure if Connor just doesn’t exist in this universe or if Buffy just doesn’t know about him. That whole arc was frankly terrible tbh.

…Buffy has to be honest, her sense of reality is probably skewed. Carrying around some kind of medieval weapon is normal to her and her fifteen year old self would’ve seen her as one of those loser kids.
On one hand, there are probably measures to keep an eye on her if she leaves. If it wasn’t working in her favor, she’d suggest the witches put up some kind of surveillance spells or security spells or something. On the other hand, she’s been sneaking out since she was fifteen. It’s part of why she’s so good at catching Dawn—she knows all the tricks.
“Where are you going?” That’s…some timing. Apparently the same works in reverse.
“All this sitting around isn’t my style, Dawnie. I’m gonna go actually do something. I would appreciate if you wouldn’t tell on me—and yeah, I’ll have people watching my back.” This is a whole lot of nostalgia right here, isn’t it?
“The hot blond dude? You sure it’ll be your back he’s watching?” Dawn asks, grinning, and Buffy finds herself getting flustered—just like what Dawn’s going for. Just like when they were kids.
“He’s related to Xander, and he’s younger than me, I’m pretty sure. I mean, he acts all mature and stuff but it’s kind of an act, you know?” Never mind the fact that he’s part vamp and she can feel it. At this point, dating a vampire would be easier because she’s gotten used to her skin crawling, but her senses can tell her that this isn’t something she’s used to and it’s not background noise.
“Oh yeah, that first one still bothers you huh?” Her sister’s grinning really widely at that. “Well, all the better. I can seduce the powerful ally for once.”
Buffy sighs. It’s about equal parts serious and just to bug her, which is why it’s even worse. “Sis, if you promise not to flirt too much with the half-vampire crime lord, I can bribe you with something when I get back. Just like old times.”
The younger Summers pretends to consider before she smiles sweetly. “That sounds acceptable. Off with you.”
It’s just about as easy to get out as she expected, even if she did kind of have to crawl out that window.
She’s merely walking down the street when another falls in line with her. Fortunately, she manages to avoid from punching him because she recognizes that familiar feeling of not-vampire.
“For future reference, scaring a Slayer isn’t recommended,” she tells him, because even if she’s figured it out doesn’t mean others won’t break a rib on instinct alone.
Giorno hums in response. “Noted.” The amusement in his voice says that he doesn’t find it very frightening, but is humoring her all the same. “Tell me, is there a good way to tell Vampire Slayers apart?”
“Usually vampires can feel us, if they’re smart and pay attention, but I’m not sure how it would work for you. I’ve never met the son of a vampire before.” She shrugs. “It’s pretty easy to tell a Slayer from the fact that she’s got super strength, but you’d either have to get into a fight with her or watch her fight.”
“I probably haven’t met a Vampire Slayer either, then.” Giorno sounds confident, but there’s a hint of uncertainty that his ego won’t let him really show. “I’ll tell you a little about the subordinate we’re meeting, but first I have a request. Don’t tell the others about him.”
That puts her on edge. It could just be a Mafia Boss thing, but she can’t imagine keeping something like this from Jotaro. She likes his no-nonsense, get things done attitude, in contrast to Giles and Willow, who are still wringing their hands and urging caution. Plus, Jotaro isn’t looking at her like she’s totally incompetent. “Did they uninvite him to their houses, then?”
That quick glance shows that he gets some sort of reference, even if his information may not be as thorough as he’d like, if he doesn’t even fully know how Slayers work. “There’s nothing wrong with him specifically, but he had…chosen the wrong side, before. Hol Horse is another such Stand User, and he’s known to the Foundation.”
She’s thinking about it, and maybe it’s reading guys like Giles and Jotaro, but there’s something almost…distasteful about his tone? “Don’t like him?”
Giorno breathes out deeply. “In my line of work, I don’t often have the luxury of liking the people I work with.” That honesty hits her, because it’s the least vague, most straightforward thing he’s probably been. Even when he was being honest to get her to trust him, he’d been carefully choosing what to tell her, how to get the outcome he wanted. Allowing himself to be honest like this might be calculated, but this feels genuine. Then he smiles, warm and sunny and maybe a little mischievous. “Of course, this time I’m lucky. You’re Cugino Johan’s famiglia elettiva, so I might actually enjoy this time.”
“Well, you’ve got the charm down,” Buffy responds, hoping that this third person is at least tolerable, no matter how little Giorno’s looking forward to working with him.

They agree to meet outside—Giorno has a person to contact, and Buffy has to pack a few things—specifically, her magic stealth knife and some food in her belly considering she has no idea how long this’ll take. It’s a little awkward, him wanting to do something without her after the comment about teamwork, but it’s probably hard for mob bosses to break their inclinations to secrecy. She’s got her super strength and other than the whole ‘son of vampire’ thing Giorno probably has a Stand. Which is probably called Gold Experience, and has something to do with bringing things to life. They might be set, but she really, really doesn’t like these Wolfram & Hart characters and would prefer to have some kind of extra something along, like a security blanket. She’d go for Mr. Pointy, but that only works on vampires and she’s pretty sure W&H isn’t all vamps. And it’d probably be in character for clients of Wolfram & Hart to just be carrying around weapons, right?
