Rating: PG-13 It’s gonna hit NC-17 in the future
Disclaimer: I don’t own Anything dealing with Buffy that’s all on Mutant Enemy, Joss Whedon, all the writers and those Big money Hollywood folk, UPN and a bunch of other ppl I don’t know. The title is taken from the Matchbox20 song “If Your Gone”. So I only have right to my original char’s.
Feedback: Is more welcome than an issue of Playboy with all the Girls from Buffy. This is my first fic and if I screw up I need to know. : )
Parings: W/T More parings will come.
Summary: We start where Joss left us well sort of the Gang is on their way to where ever the road takes them. We are going to bring some people back good and evil and everyone will get what they deserve.
Warning: It’s going to be a bit choppy for a bit going from scene to scene. But hold on it’s just for a bit.
Thoughts are in <>, Flashbacks are in Italics and the ~~~~’s

In Limbo
        Cordelia was fuming, she couldn’t believe that Willow told that story to everyone. And to make matters worse everyone in the room was watching right with her. They were laughing so hard that Spike almost peed his pants. Tara, Joyce, and Anya were having a hard time breathing and Jonathan fell out of his chair. “It’s not that funny!” Cordelia yelled Spike got up stood next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder and burst out laughing again. “Of course it is Luv, it’s bloody hysterical.” Cordelia got up and walked over to the intercom on the wall. “Hey you Power freaks get in here.” Tara stood up and walked over towards Cordelia. “What are you doing Cord? You can’t just call them like that!” Cordelia shrugged her shoulders “Why not, I figure they need us for a reason and so they aren’t going to do shit to piss us off. I mean they are the ones who want to send us back if it came down to it they piss us off we go back and oops I just walked in front of that bus.” Just then two of The Powers rushed in. “See it’s easy they need us!” The Powers were confused They looked around the room to figure out why they were called into the room. Cordelia walked right up to them and started to yell. “Look I want this done with and I want it now! You said you were going to send us back and we have been sitting her forever some of longer than others.” She had pointed towards Joyce and Tara. “You will warn them right now and you will send us back or I will make sure that when you do send us back whatever little mission you have planed will be FUCKED! Got me?” Everyone stared at Cordelia and the room was silent the two Powers leaned into each other and whispered they broke apart and spoke as one. “We will have you back within 24 hours of them knowing that you are coming back.” Then they bowed and walked out of the room. Cordelia sat down in a chair and let out the biggest sigh, and burst out laughing. “I can’t believe that worked! Oh my God, I thought for sure they were going to re-kill me.” Tara got up and hugged Cordelia “Technically your not dead just in a coma the rest of us though are a whole different story.” Joyce jumped up yelling “Group hug!” Everyone got up and hugged each other.”

In Hell
        Warren Meers was a bloody mess, his arm had been fixed with magic but it still hurt like a bitch. He was placed in front of The Powers that ran Hell, it was quiet almost too quiet. He could hear the crackling of the fires that ran through-out the area. He wasn’t sure how big the place was but he knew it was big. Normally you could hear the screams and pleas of the souls being tortured for the lives they led but today you couldn’t hear a breath from them. He could feel someone behind him but he hurt to much to try to see who it was. He felt the shackles as they went around his wrist the next thing he knew he was hoisted up into the air. “Mr. Meers how are you this fine day.” Warren tried to talk but he couldn’t he was in to much pain. “We have plans for you Warren. You did a very bad thing boy you played a mans game and lost terribly. You will pay for what you did and it’s going to be a long tedious process.” Warren tried to move but all he did was swing in the air, he was tired and in pain. He didn’t know what to do but he was willing to do anything than deal with their plans of pain. When he had first died he knew he was in Hell. He had sat in a room for what felt like years, it was dark and he could feel bugs crawling over him and they would bite him. He was always cold and naked and the pain never went away. Later he found out that the pain was from his skin growing back. He just wanted to be left alone but he knew that wouldn’t happen ever. He still wasn’t sure what The Powers had in store for him but he knew for sure that he didn’t want to run into Tara Maclay or anyone that knew her ever again. The Powers decided to let him stay in the air for a few hours and left him swinging.

In Seattle
        Nicole had gotten to the apartment right before a big yellow school bus drove up. When she saw Jessica driving she knew it was the bus from Sunnydale. Travers still sat on her bike scared shitless he had never been on a bike before and he didn’t like it if a ghost could piss it’s self he would have. “Get off my bike tweed man. Now!” Jessica opened the bus door for Xander to run out and over to some bushes after he got done puking he dropped to his knees and kissed the cement. Nicole patted him on the back “Wow Xan-man you and movement don’t get along do ya?” He pulled the girl into a hug “Long time no hear from Nic.” “Yeah I know man after the funeral I came back here and didn’t talk to much anyone ‘cept for Jess and that’s cuz we live together sort of.” She noticed the eye patch he was wearing and decided to ask about it. “So what’s with the one eyed Willy look, Xan?” Xander groaned “You know what they say about fighting evil, it’s all fun and games till someone losses an eye.” He shrugged his shoulders. “A Big Bad decided it would be fun to stick his thumb in my eye till it was mush and unfixable.” Nicole hugged him “Sorry dude you never know maybe we can get you a really cool glass eye collection like the bad guy on Last Action Hero.” Xander started to laugh remembering the movie and all the cool glass eyes the bad guy had. Jessica got off the bus and noticed the guy on Nicole’s Harley. “Hey who’s that guy?” Nicole looked at her cousin. “Oh him he said that Willow and her people would know him he’s some type of ghost.” Just then Giles noticed him and hopped out the bus. “What the fuck are you doing here. You should be dead.” Travers got off the bike and disappeared only to reappear behind Giles. “You see old chap I am dead.”

In Limbo
        Two of the Powers walked into the room pointed at Anya and walked out leaving the door open so she followed them out of the room into a big room that was almost like a court house. Nervous she walked to the mic in the front of the room. And waited a door opened and out walked a bunch of The Powers, they sat down and one spoke. “Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins, you have been brought here to discuss your future, as we were planing on sending you back to the world we found out some interesting news that could be helpful to you.” Anya stood there looking waiting for them to explain what they were talking about. “D'Hoffryn has been thrown form his position as the head of Vengeance Demons, due to some violations in his contract. He was not to choose sides in the battle of good and evil and yet he sided with T he First, also there was that whole deal with killing a Vengeance Demon by the name of Halfrek” Anya was saddened that her friend had died because of her decision to give back the life of some human frat boys she had been called to curse. “At this time we have decided to ask you to take over as head of the Vengeance Demons, you will be able to live a fairly normal life in this position, and we want you to help the others by teaching them to be more human and to try to keep things in perspective on the sides of good and evil, we are not saying to choose side just that you know that death is not always the way to do things.” Anya thought about it for a minute before speaking. “Can I think about this for the night so I can answer you with the truth and so I know that I’m not jumping into anything I can’t handle?” The Powers thought about It for a moment then told her yes and sent her back into The Room. When she got back to the room she went to the sleeping area and sat on her bed. Tara walked into the room sat down next to her and held her hand. “Why are you upset, what did they say?” Anya looked at Tara, “They want me to take over for D'Hoffryn. They want me to go back to Vengeance and I don’t know if I can it’s not what it was and it won’t ever be like that again. I understand being human now I don’t want to loose that Tara I can’t loose that I want to go back and be with Xander. I love him and I just want us to be together again, I don’t care about where we live or how much money we have I just want to love and be loved and Xander is the only one I want that from.” Tara pulled Anya into a hug and held her as she cried.

In Seattle
        Everyone stared at Giles and Travers while they talked about what was to come, they had moved away from the group so they could talk in some what privacy. It was hard to hear them they talked low and the Slayers knew better than to use their enhanced hearing to listen in, But when Giles looked up and said “Dear God.” everyone knew it was something big. Jessica and Nicole knew that the men needed to talk so they decided to get everyone going with the moving in. Nicole Clapped her hands, “Hey lets go guys and let the Britt’s talk, Ya’ll are moving in so find a roomie and lets move.” Jessica piped in, “We have many apartments that are open for you guys till you can either go home or find your own place. If you decide to stay with us then we can work out payment plans depending on your situation. Now we have a few studio Apartment’s for those who don’t want to bunk with others. So grab your stuff and lets get moving.” Brittany had just pulled up to hear the speech and decided to park the Neon In the garage under the complex. After she walked out of the garage she walked over to Jessica and hugged her from behind. “Hey baby, how you doin’?” Jessica jumped not knowing that her girlfriend was behind her let alone at the apartment. “ Hey when did you get here.” “I got here during your speech I just decided to park in the garage.” “That’s a great Idea why didn’t I think about that.” Kissing Brittany she turned to the group “Hey guys, after we get all of our stuff out of the bus I’ll take it down to the garage under the complex.” One of the new Slayers looked at Jessica as if she had sprouted another head. “Yes do you have a question?” Jessica asked the girl. “You have underground parking here?” Nicole decided to answer her. “Yeah we do, you have seen underground parking before haven’t you, umm what’s your name kid?” “The name is Dana, and yeah I’ve seen it just not in Apartment complexes.” “Well that’s because this place used to be a hotel well more like a residential inn, but it was turned into apartments like ten years ago so we kept it for ourselves.”
        Jessica decided to get the gang moving. “Ok lets get going people we got stuff to do.” everyone grabbed their things from the bus Willow having more things than anyone, they all piled into the lobby of the complex while Jessica parked the bus. Nicole was in charge of giving rooms out and it wasn’t working as well as she thought. The girls got into little fights and it was bugging her Willow, Faith, Buffy and Xander were trying to get them to stop fighting but it wasn’t working out. Jessica walked in and saw the problem and started to hum the humming got louder and louder till all of a sudden a loud screeching came from her mouth, everyone stopped talking and looked at her. “Great now if you would stop bickering with each other and move into the banquet room we will get you all rooms. Britt show them to the room and Nicole help me get the keys and floor plans.” Brittany started moving towards the Banquet room “Ok Kiddies lets get in here grab a seat and keep quiet, I don’t want to hear a thing from any of you till we get this figured out.” Jessica and Nicole walked into the room and saw everyone siting in the chairs. They walked onto the stage in the front of the room, and pulled a table from the wings of the stage. Jessica looked down to Willow, “Hey Will, Do you have a list of everyone that’s with you?” Willow turned around in her seat and grabbed her laptop from behind her, “Yeah I do on my laptop got an outlet for me to plug into?” “Yeah we do over here.” Nicole took the laptop from Willow. They plugged it in and waited for Willow to pull up the list. “Jessica started to talk, “This is how this will go down you have two minutes to pick a roommate, then you will sit together and if in you can’t handle your selves like adults we will go down the list in alphabetical order and pair you up that way. Now if you want a single come see me. And we do have a few three room apartments but I think that there are enough of you to just do two rooms. Now move!” It was almost comical to watch the girls move around to find roommates. But they did it and the only people asking for singles were the main Scoobies except for Dawn she wanted to bunk with Nicole so they could catch up. After giving out keys and maps for everyone of the building they had agreed to meet after six in the banquet room so they could get some sleep.
        Giles had asked the Scoobies, Nicole, Jessica and Brittany to stay and talk to him and Travers. “We have a serious situation on our hands, it seems as if the Powers have given us a so called reward for our hard work.” Xander feeling the tension in the room decided to be funny. “Don’t tell me an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii?!” Giles just shook his head at the young man while Faith hit him in the arm. “You wish Xan-man they aren’t that nice.” “A life time supply of comics would be nice and sneak peeks at the new Star Wars movies.” Faith started to laugh and buffy smacked him on the top of his head. “You geek let Giles finish his speech.” Giles took of his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose before putting them back on. “Thank you Buffy. It seems that some things happened that messed up the plans for The Powers and they want to fix it they have decided that they are going to do something that they never really do.” He paused and Buffy was getting pissed at him for stalling. “Giles spit it out it can’t be that bad, you did say reward.” Giles sighed loudly. “They are sending back six people form the dead, the six they have chosen were taken before they were supposed to go and so the powers feel that they want them back in the world of the living.” The room went silent as everyone let this go through their brains. Buffy was the first to speak, “Who are they sending back and when?” Giles looked to Travers to answer that question. “Well they have said that they are sending them back with in twenty-four hours of you being told that they were coming.” Buffy stood up, “I said who is coming back.” “Ok I’ll tell you please calm down. They are sending back Joyce Summers, William the bloody A.K.A. Spike, Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins, Jonathan, Tara Maclay, and even though she is not dead but yet not alive Cordelia Chase.” Willow got up and ran out the door she went outside not even noticing the rain and dropped to her knees crying and praying to what ever deity would hear her. Dawn and Buffy had followed her out side and grabbed her and held her as they began to cry together, all confused but knowing that they were happy for the news. They would have their family back and that was all they wanted.
