Chapter One:
The Scoobies pulled up in front of the Hyperion. Angel was thinking that they could stay there, but failed to realize that Anne could have moved and let someone else take over. It was sunset, so Angel and Spike were able to get out of the car. The hotel was so active and it was amazing. It looked like the front courtyard had been cleaned up. Vampires, demons, witches...hell, even military was walking in and out of the place. Buffy noticed a certain style with some of the young men and women walking in and out. Steam Punk. Almost like it was a uniform of some kind.
Sam ducked out, having seen the Scoobies pulling up and hoping to catch them before they saw Dru and Ethan.
"Funny thing see you guys here," She chuckled when she walked up to them.
Giles blinked rapidly a few times before speaking.
"We had gotten word from the Devon coven that somebody had picked up here," He told her.
Sam hissed and sucked her teeth.
"Josie's not going to like that," She sighed, "all the Covens that we came in contact with made a pact of silence."
Buffy's brows furrowed, "What does that have to do with it?"
Sam rolled her eyes, "That means that the Devon coven violated their pact. They were not supposed to say that ANYTHING was going on here, they knew that when they signed it. There are a lot of people here that they can get killed because of it."
The few Slayers that came with looked to the building, when a familiar face came out.
"Someone's been naughty," Drusilla spoke, shaking a finger at Sam.
Then she tightened the coat around Sam's heavily pregnant form, in a quite motherly way. She wore, what Dawn and Buffy recognized as, a Steam Punk style dress. A black and purple Corinth Steampunk dress and a black Steampunk buckle coat.
"Husband knows you are gone," Drusilla spoke after she finished buttoning Sam's coat, "but Magic Man has told him to bugger off. Says you're a big girl."
Sam chuckled, "What about Josie?"
Drusilla snorted and rolled her eyes, "Miss Edith hit him upon the head with a file. Told him to shut up," Sam raised a brow and Dru snickered, "the little Pylean baby that the pretty demon man left was sleeping. Husband's yelling woke him up and Miss Edith was not happy with him."
Translation: Josie hit Riley with a file and told him to keep it down. The baby that Groo left had been sleeping and Riley's bitching woke him up. Sam ran a hand through her hair and sighed.
"Where did Josie put him?" Sam asked.
Drusilla looked innocent, "Husband or baby?"
Sam gave her a look, "Both."
"Husband was dragged to his room by Little Brother," Drusilla said in a matter-of-fact tone, "and the Loud Bright One is hiding the baby in her office."
Translation: Connor took Riley back your guys' quarters and Harmony put the baby in her office. Sam nudged Dru back toward the hotel, but not before the vampiress put a kiss on Spike and Angel's cheeks, then pat Dawn on the head. Sam walked to the courtyard, motioning the group to follow her. Giles, Buffy, Dawn, Willow, Kennedy, Xander, Illyria, Vi, Rona, Dana, Spike and Angel followed. Angel was amazed by the condition of the hotel. Harmony came out of what had one been Angel's office, then Wesley's, holding a very young green baby.
"Where's Josie?" Sam asked her, running her hand over the sleeping baby's ginger red hair.
Harmony's eyes flicked toward the group, but a tap from Sam on the shoulder brought her attention back to the woman.
"The boss is checking out the new reinforced cages downstairs," Harmony told Sam, "since Nina found Oz and Jordy. Groo's helping them put the replacement bars in Oz's cage. The demon we kept in there last week broke some and ripped out others."
Sam cringed. She had heard about that. Josie wouldn't let her go near the cages while the demon was there, the reason was obvious.
...
Josie held one of Harmony's bloody candy suckers in her mouth. She was reading her father's journal. The entry with a list of amulets and the like. She didn't really pay much attention to people as she walked down the stairs, to the main area of the Hyperion. She bit down on the sucker stick and held it as she flicked one of her multi-shaded pink extensions over her shoulder. The pink extensions were a sharp contrast against her blue/black hair. Her pale skin looked more snow white-like, than pale parchment like Dru's. Her icey blue eyes flicked over the page. She had no idea of her observers; IE: the Scoobies.
Harmony smirked at the sight. Angel, Spike, Xander and Giles stared openly at her. Harmony didn't quite like the color, given that Harmony was a die-hard pink girl, but she loved how the rich and bright blue of the corset made Josie's pale skin look. It made it look all the more inviting. The tiny shiny black mini-skirt hung low on slender, but curved, hips and black knee-high Pleaser boots encased long legs. All in all a good job, Harmony thought.
"Where are you on it?" A half naked teen, that the Scoobies recognized as Jordy, spoke, looking over Josie's shoulder.
"Amulets and charms," Josie spoke, after taking the sucker out of her mouth.
Josie leaned down a bit, so that Jordy could see.
"Sweet," He chuckled, "Danny was wondering when you guys were going to open the ballroom."
Josie chuckled and closed the books, handing them off to an Asian looking young woman. The young woman headed toward Harmony's office, to put the journals in the lock drawer of the desk. Josie put her arm over Jordy's shoulder. He walked her over to the Scoobies and the group took stock of what the rest of her outfit entailed. A platinum belly chain, like belly dancer's wore. A platinum and cubic zirconium cross, a black collar with pink stones and a pink heart charm. A Queen of Hearts cuff bracelet and a Mad Tea Party headband. Dark blue sparkling eyeshadow and blue fake lashes, that made her icey blue eyes stand out. And black lipstick. Harmony walked over and passed the now-awake Pylean infant to Josie. The half vampire smiled and stroked his cheek.
"Hey, Corda," She said softly, "someone's having a busy day."
She settled the baby boy in her arms, then looked to Harmony.
"Boss, this is the Scoobies," Harmony spoke.
Josie looked the over, then nodded to Harmony.
"Giles, he's the Watcher," Harmony pointed to the older man.
Josie gave her a look, "Ethan's Giles?"
Harmony nodded and the two girls got an almost lascivious smirk on their faces. Josie walked over to the front counter where a black and tan baby carrier sat and laid him down in it.
"Sadie, Sage, watch him," She told them, "last time I left him alone, he tried to eat one of Harmony's ceramic unicorns."
The two girls shuddered, but moved him to one of the desks behind the counter. Then she leaned over the counter, not knowing that Spike's eyes were following her skirt, and snatched up one of the walkie talkies. She pushed a button.
"Hey, Magic Man," She kept a straight face.
"What, love?" The Scoobie's heard Ethan sigh.
"Your boytoy's here," Josie snickered.
Then she held the walkie talkie away from her.
"What!?" They heard him yell, over the walkie and through walls, "Ripper's here?"
Josie just set the walkie back in it's place, watching as Ethan popped into the room. Harmony pushed Giles at Ethan and the man popped out, Giles in tow. The Scoobies looked to Josie, who just looked at them with a raised brow.
"Harmony, take them up to..." Josie sighed.
"The Fangtasia room?" She chuckled.
...
The Scoobies sat around the room, but Harmony made sure that the cream colored chaise lounge was free. When Josie came in the room, she was wearing a Steam Punk Cyber Industrial Gothic Lolita 3 piece outfit, a Neo-Victorian Steampunk Brass necklace, Clockwork couture Cabaret thigh high stockings, black Victoriana mid calf boots, an Alexander Hi Tek Steampunk watch and a pair of Steam Punk Sunglasses.
"I know you guys must have a lot of questions," She sighed, removing her glasses and cleaning them in a way that was eerily familiar to the Scoobies.
Willow, Xander, Buffy and Dawn broke out into a fit of laughter. Josie put her glasses back on and looked at the four with a raised brow.
"Something funny?" She chuckled.
"Giles does that too," Kennedy clarified.
They watched as Josie looked Giles in the eye, then back to Buffy. A very Ripper-ish smirk came over her face.
"Where do you think I got it from?" She laughed.
Spike walked up to her, Angel and the others tensing, watching as he sniffed her. He walked a circle around her, then stopped in front of her.
"You smell like Dru," He spoke, "not just.." he gestured to her outfit, her skin, "...it's in your blood."
He looked into her amused blue eyes.
"But your eyes are all the Watcher."
Josie slipped by Spike, to a red bookcase. She opened it and took out a wooden case, setting it in Xander's lap.
"Groo said that you should have that," Josie said to him, sitting on her heels by his knees, "It was Cordelia's when she was in Pylea."
Xander opened the case and Angel spied a familiar metal bikini and tiara.
"Danny calls this," She tapped the case, "the real proof of Queen C."
The Scoobies chuckled, then Josie pat Xander on the knee before she stood up. Josie walked over and sat on the cream chaise.
"We have about half an hour before patrol," She told them, "that's where you get a real treat. My team's going down to the docks tonight."
Harmony snickered, "You know you're going to get thrown in the water, Boss," She couldn't help the laughter, "you do every time you patrol the docks."
Josie cocked her head in a very Drusilla way, then nodded. Giles looked at this girl. He thought back to his Ripper days, before the teachings of the Watchers and realized that the Renaissance bird he hooked up with was, in fact, Drusilla.
When the Scoobies came out to the back courtyard, they saw tables laid out with weapons in various states of repair and cleaning. Except for one table. Harmony looked at them from over Josie's shoulder, seeing Spike eyeing the brunette. Josie lifted her head, to see Harmony looking at something over her shoulder, her brows furrowed so she stood up straight and turned around. And there was the Scoobies. Buffy stared at Josie in open mouth shock at how the young woman's body was just owning that full body catsuit. She was wearing knee-high stiletto heel black boots that matched her suit. Hanging low on her hips was a black Cyber clubwear utility belt trimmed with neon green. On the table before her was three different styles of throwing stars, that they watched her put in the utility belt with meticulous precision.
There was a knife sheath attached to one ankle, upside down. The blade was a good 5 1/2" to 6" long, the grip in a brass knuckles sort of style. Josie put her leg up on the table, spinning the knife in her hand before putting it in it's sheath and snapping the secure strap closed. The Scoobies watched as Harmony handed Josie an almost foot long bowie knife, that she slipped into a sheath attached to her thigh. Connor walked over, dressed similar to Josie, and strapped a belt across Josie's torso. In each slot of this belt, was stiletto throwing knives made of blessed silver. A weapon that Jordy, Nina and Oz were NOT allowed to be around, for their own safety. Josie slipped a pair of cuffs into one of the larger pouches, an action that Spike didn't miss. One set of Sansetsukon was set before her and she picked it up, testing the weight. She'd test the swing a lot later. Connor helped her with her double barrel shotgun, which she had a habit of using as a baseball bat during a fight. Harmony checked Josie's small hand crossbow, before passing it to Connor. And in the shoulder holsters were a pair of solid gold Desert Eagles.
"Damn..." Dawn said after a moment.
Josie looked at the girl with a raised brow, then chuckled.
"Indeed," She smiled.
Josie knew that Illyria was analyzing her, but she didn't know what Illyria was thinking about. Illyria was curious as to what her pet saw in the girl. She could smell that he was attracted to her, but she didn't know if it was just lust or not. The back gates opened and Josie smiled.
"Show time."
