Spike fell back against the wall, away from the stake.

He’d gone looking for Watchers once they got back to London. Angelus had spoken scornfully of men who never fought themselves.

Angelus had been wrong.

The man rushed forward; Spike spun, slammed him against brick, and bit down.

He’d won. Just.

Angelus’ disgusted voice hit him; he turned, and saw his sire, demon-faced and displeased.

“Still a novice at subduing easy prey, boy? You’re a disgrace to the bloodline!”

Spike scowled and said nothing. When the practice paid off – when Spike killed a Slayer – Angelus would be proud of him.

Excellent. Angelus always sold Spike short, and Spike was tenacious enough to prove him wrong, in so many ways. Liam was more like his dad than he ever dreamed.

Liam was more like his dad than he ever dreamed.

Oh, absolutely. The cycle's painfully obvious.

Thanks for the comment!
