When they arrived at Spikes 10th floor apartment, Spike fumbled to find keys that opened about four padlocks on his door. He didn't want anyone or anything to wake him up with a sunbath or by turning him into a shish-kabob.
"Lock the bloody door behind you." He said with pain in his voice
"Where's the bed?!." Selene said straining to hold him up much longer.
"Now, now, love there isn't anytime for that," Spike Dead-panned "The table will have to do." Selene helped him on to the table and he quickly lay down.
"So now what?" Spike asked
"Well I get the bullet out and then you will owe me a favor." Selene demanded
"In case you hadn't noticed I don't own any surgical tools or for that matter any knives. I don't eat y' know."
"They aren't necessary." Selene said as she stood on the side of Spike beginning to concentrate her thoughts.
"Uh...." Spike said growing alarmed
"Shhhh, I'm going to levitate it out of you so, try to relax and lay still." She said quietly. Laying one hand on Spike's forehead and the hovering the other hand over the wound. Instantly Spike felt the pain fade out and was replaced by warmth. A feeling he wasn't used to feeling unless he just had finished feeding. He
actually began to relax, and studied this strange girl that was helping him. She appeared to be whispering something in a quietly urgent tone. He felt the bullet slowly begin to rise from it's location until he could see it. It rose out of the wound and floated above him, under the command of her hand.
"Amul Katabi She nay Foy yuh!" She said loudly. In response the bullet was released from it's levitation and felt limply to the ground.
Her hand still remained on his forehead and she said, "Now comes the fun part. When I take my hand off your forehead you're going to feel the wound again."
"Blast."
"You're gonna need some...uh...sustenance so I'm going to bring you something back."
"Thanks love." Spike said growing fond of looking at her
"I'll knock four times when I return." And with that she was gone, and the pain hit him like a sledge hammer. Out in the hall Selene walked briskly to the elevator, and thought of how and who she was going to bring back to brutally handsome vampire, Spike.
Suddenly she was jumped by three large figures. She was grabbed from behind, a cold hand clamped over her mouth as the other arm circled around her throat. A hooded Empata demon stood in front of her and studied her with glaring green eyes.
"Is there a blond man in there?" He growled roughly
"No there's no man in there." Selene choked out. In truth there wasn't a man in there. Spike was a vampire. A Vampire she needed to stay alive, since he owed her a favor. From inside Spike had heard a scuffle in the hall and crept as best he could, holding his side. Fortunately it was getting better, thanks to his vampiric healing powers. Creaking the door open he spied further down the hall Selene and the two vampires and what could have been a demon. The hooded figure with his back to Spike was saying, "You know what we mean. Where is he!?"
"Bloody hell," Spike whispered to himself "Now I've got to rescue her, and in the condition I'm in." Walking boldly up behind the demon, he grabbed him a flung him against the wall. Shocked the Empata demon stood there dazed as did his two acolytes.
"Please boys don't bruise my next meal, I like them fresh."Spike commanded
"William the Bloody," the demon growled "It is time you meet your maker."
"Oh, I've met him, he's a tall, brooding apathetically de-fanged vamp by the name Angel."Spike returned as he began to pummel the demon with his fists. The other vampire with a scar across his demonic face yanked Spike off and began to fight with him. Selene had been quiet for some time, now opened her eyes that glowed as green orbs. With telekinetic powers she thrust the vampire that held her back wards and into the wall with vicious force. Then she flung open a supply closet and levitated a broken broom handle directly towards the heart of the slumped vampire. It flew across the air as if it had been fired from a cross-bow, hit the vampire and he exploded into dust.
