The OrdersToo Rattle A Pang'You can do it, we know you can. Do it... do it'
Buffy's head jumped up from the desk. She was getting tired of the voices now. They kept telling her. She knew what she needed to do. Buffy's eyes closed together hiding from the light, it was blasting in from the window. She had come here looking for Willow hoping she would be back in town but didn't look like it. Buffy told the wiccans not to contact her she wanted it to be a surprise. It had been a few days now. Buffy was back all and well. And re-adjusting to life. She pulled the blinds shut as she moved from the window. She liked the darkness it was comforting, safe.
This place had changed so much since she was gone. The people, the rooms the world. This was now Lisa's office not hers. Which she still felt a little strange about. Maybe it was her being a little green eyes monster because Lisa was able to handle everything but hey she not long died give her some time.
Dawn wasn't all helpless anymore form what she found out, her sister was not more in tune with the key. She had powers. Buffy didn't know how to react to that one. It kinda put a bump in the plans she had...yes her plans.
Buffy pressed the red button on the speakers, her finger almost slipped of from the sweat forming in the heat but it stayed firm. "Lisa Hallam please report to the head office" Buffy said in a well not so Buffy tone. She would have never said it like that or eve used it. that was always Willows domain Buffy liked to find the person she wanted.

Lisa was very suprised when she heard her name called out by Buffy on the speakers, she took off her gloves she was using as padding whilst hitting the punching bag and threw them onto a nearby bench, sighing she lifted her head back and took a deep breath catching as much oxygen into her lungs as possible before walking out of the training room and down the corridor.
'Report to the head office' rang through Lisa's mind she had kinda grew used to it being called her office, maybe thats what it was about maybe Buffy was ready to take the role of leader again. When she was first appointed as the new leader Lisa wasnt sure on how well shed do and it was the last thing she wanted but now she was enjoying the role but with Buffy back she knew it wouldent last long and Lisa was happy to hand the role back over to her, she was truley the best slayer...heck shed came back from the dead three times.
Deep in thought about this Lisa almost walked past the office door, steping back again she turned and knocked on the door before entering, it was her office but her authority figure was in there and Lisa wanted to show her respect "Buffy" she said as she poked her head around the door and saw Buffy in there "Is everything ok?" she asked closing the door behind her.

Buffy was wearing a light blue shirt with black jeans slung on. Not whats he would normally wear well before she croaked it any way. Maybe it was because she was a little different this time around. She was bound to grow up more heck she had seen so much stuff over the years of being the' slayer it was bound to happen. She stood up pushing away the chair and made her way to her desk. She picked up the photo of her Xander and Willow from back in her second year of Sunnydale hight. They where full of light, energy, love and happiness. This sickened her. She turn around dropping it in the bin. That was the past. And things change. Alto changes.
Buffy opened the blinds a little letting a bit more light in now her eyes where readjusting from the so called sleep. When she herd the knock at the door. The smell. Pure. Light. Slayer. "Lisa" Buffy said turning before even seeing Lisa she called her name. It could have been anyone knocking. This was Lisa office so why would she knock. But Buffy just knew.
"Glad you could make it" Buffy said with a smile. Buffy sat on the edge of her desk well Lisa's desk. She pulled out some papers. "Theres a new vamp nest in the south part of town, a few locals from that area have been going missing. I had the wiccans do a spell and they say theres 8 vamps living there" Buffy passed her the file on the case. Normally a case like this would be over looked by Lisa even when Buffy was alive, Lisa however was never told of this one.
"I want you and six of the girls to go and exterminate" That word, Buffy stopped at it. She wouldn't say that. "dust these vampires before more are killed" She finished smiling trying to brush of the word she just used. That word meant more then what it said, it shows when a person says it that they feel more about the kill the just doing job. It sounded worse too but moving on.

Buffy spoke all business, as she spoke she glanced around the office seeing if any changes had been made, looking over the bin she spotted a picture of Buffy, Willow and Xander lieing in the bin. She paid her attention back to Buffy almost examining her, her dress sense had changed and there was just something that didnt seem right at all.
The mission she was giving her Lisa had never been sent on a mission like this before, it seemed almost to easy. A nest of 8 vamps and 5 slayers including Lisa, surley this was something Lisa could have done with fewer slayers or just 5 slayers going without having Lisa watch over them would be fine. Then Buffy said the word exterminate.... Lisa raised her eyebrow at this it seemed way too... well it just wasnt something that Buffy would use to discribe killing vamps.
When Buffy had finnished Lisa looked quizical at her "Isnt that a bit to easy?" she asked "Surely we dont need six slayers" Lisa then stepped towards the bin and pulled out the picture "This must have fell in there" she said handing it to Buffy and watching for her reaction.

Buffy didn't make much eye contact with Lisa. She didn't really with anyone anymore. Buffy had been keeping herself away really from the slayers. They just had too many questions for her 'oh where have you been Buffy' 'what was it like' 'how are you' she just didn't want to deal with them right now. She just wanted to get back to normal. Well if she could be normal.
Buff herd Lisa ask why she needed six slayers. She sounded like she didn't understand Buffy's actions and why she would make her take six slayers to help her. True Lisa was her best slayer. But even the best fall....
She then was passed the photo she had thrown in the trash. Lisa made a comment about how it must have fell there Buffy gave a weak smile taking it off her and put it back on the desk. "I'm not asking you Lisa its an order" Buffy said not looking at her again. She was putting her foot down. It was clear. Maybe a little too clear. "Sorry i mean i just think it would be good for you too see which slayers are better then the others where going to need another slayer to help train the slayers, i know its tiering for you having to do it all your self" Buffy said again trying to sound less bossy and trying to sound like she cares for Lisa and her having all this slayer training and stuff on her head. Maybe she would buy it.

Buffy said nothing of the photo, she just gave a week smile that to Lisa looked a bit forced. The whole time Lisa had been in the room buffy hadent made much eye contact, everytime Lisa tried to create it Buffy would avoid it, she knew it must be hard for Buffy being back and all but Lisa didnt understand why Buffy was acting so unlike herself.
An order...Buffy was back and she was the boss once again, Lisa bit her lip shed grown used to making the desicions herself but what Buffy told her to do was what Lisa would do.
Then Buffy explained why and Lisa understood, she almost felt bad for doubting that Buffy was making the right desicion. She nodded along "Any special requests on who i take along?" she asked. Being in charge Lisa had tried to get to know as many slayers she could and look at there abilitys but there was still so many Lisa didnt even know the names of let alone how good a slayer they were.

"Take the best slayers i have" Buffy said then realizing she said i meaning we but she carried on hoping it wasn't noticed. "If you take the best ones it will make it easier for you to chose one to help you with the slayers" Buffy carried on turning from Lisa and looking through the small gap in the blinds. It was getting dark which mean not alto of light. Buffy open the blinds fully. There was a orange and red glow in the room from the melting sun.
"Oh and make sure non of the vampires get away id advise you to go right in for the attack from what it says in there they are not one for being organized so a straight in kill mood would work" Buffy said turning giving Lisa the eye contact she had been avoiding but not for long she looked away again.
"Oh and keep in contact with me through the head set so i know its going to plan" Buffy said with a slight smile as she passed Lisa the head set.
"Yes your doing well carry on do it" That voice again her head. It just wont go away what dose it want.

Lisa started choosing the slayers she wanted to take in her mind, it was a hard desicion to make she could think of so many that had gotten so good recently and it was hard to pick out just six.
As Lisa gained the eye contact she wanted she looked into Buffys eyes but had no time to look past them as the contact was broken. "Get in, kill and get back out, no problem" she smiled after some of the demons they had faced a few lazy vampiers would be no trouble at all for her and the other slayers. Again questions came into Lisa's mind that would doubt Buffys desicions, the mission was just too easy! Lisa ignored these, Buffy had rearly made a wrong desicion and Lisa was sure she wouldent start making them now.
Taking the headset Lisa fitted it in place "I will keep you updated" she nodded, it seemed she was all ready to go, all she had to do was find the slayers she wanted to take with her. Lisa slowly began to walk back towards the door before opening it she turned "Anything else?" she asked just to make sure.

No she cant do this. Can she. Yes she can. Shes the leader. What she says goes. Shes the boss. Of that life. Where the boss of this one. She is a cat litter on netta engagement.
Can they just not shut up. Buffy though. All this jumbo mubo about stuff she doesn't understand. She just wish they shut up. "Good" Buffy said to Lisa as she told her she would stay in contact. Good.. Buffy left a slight breeze hit her as Lisa opened the door. Light was streaming in from the hall way lighting up the darkening office. "Nope thats all and happy hunting" Buffy said with a smile before walking to the door and shutting it before Lisa even had a chance to have a last word.
"Happy hunting" She repeated her back against the door almost lost in though but still smiling like something had just gone her way.
