Alone.

[Jessy Jackson]

I stood back in the dojo and went to the phones. At least here I could help and stay away from chime.

[glow=blue,3,456]My child, I bring you peace. Come, and let me take you away, to a place where you will have peace, rest and meditation forever. [/glow]

(((((Shade, you can muck about in the general section but on the rpg boards NO!)))))

I rolled my eyes and went back to looking at the weapons. The sooner i could get out of here the better- two hours til i could check in and confirm my return to England. I'd be home by tomorrow. I smiled- that was a comfort at least.

"You alright?" Joshua asked, walking up behind me.

"Now I know how Maya felt when Avalon showed up," I remarked. With a sigh I opened the cupboard. "Guess I'll need these."

"What is it?" Joshua asked as the door opened, revealing a long jacket, a belt, a bandanna, a pair of sunglasses, to Beretta 9mm, a small dagger a pair of fingerless gloves with silver studs on each knuckle.

"A few things i thought Id never use again," I said uncomfortably.

[TPot]

"Guess." They said in unison. I looked at them both. That one was wearing Peppers armour stuff. Wait no, the other one is holding armour. Damn. Then I noticed. I walked over to the one wearing the armour and kissed her. "Guess what?" She said.
"What?" I asked.
"You picked the wrong one." I stopped kissing her. "Just kidding."

[Charlotte]

((Its the original Charlie for this one so i may have made some slight continuity errors. No I'm not back for good but I may post a little over the holidays...still mostly Maya though! Happy xmas and new year!!))
Again with the little things taking over. I sighed, it seemed preparations would get done whenever and however the gang felt like it. In the mean time...I strolled up to Aila who was still looking at the weapons with a massive smile.
"Hey." I began.
"Hi, I'm Vala." She said holding out her hand.
"Or Aila right?" i replied keeping a plascticy smile in place.
"Yeah, how did you...?" She trailed off looking confused.
"Oh we go way back." I said almost laughing. "Knew you when you were tiny little thing, completely helpless."
"But you've just arrived." She stated.
"Nah, I only just came back. Been away a little while, just like you. They thought I was dead too. Strange that isn't it."
"What are you talking about?" Aila was looking at me like I was some sort of psycho.
"Guess you wouldn't remember our little history would you." i started. "See they thought I murdered you, to be fair I thought I had too. You were so important that they drove me to suicide, well it was that or being murdered by them, 'specially your mum." It was strange how easy it was to say it, how detached I felt from those statements. "Funny how things turned out isn't it. Both of us back here, me meeting you now, all grown up. Welcome back." She was backing away from me and I couldn't help but laugh, goddess it felt so good not to give a shit. I wouldn't be giving up that freedom anytime soon.

[Jessy Jackson]

Wow. Even I heard that and shivered. That was cold. Harsh.

[Charlotte]

((Don't celebrate X-mas so kind of a boring day for me. I may make random posts today to liven it up slightly. Merry X-mas to anyone who does celebrate!))

"What are you doing to my daughter?" A voice behind me said and a second later Maya was standing in front of me, arms crossed in the position of a very pissed off slayer.
"Just catching up." I said sweetly. "You know, haven't seen her since she was a baby. Lot we don't know about each other."
"Cut the crap charlie." She spat at me. "Why are you doing this to everyone."
"Doing what?" I asked innocently.
"Being...such a bitch. Can't you see its hurting Doc like crazy and I'm not letting you do that to him, and not to Aila either."
"Do you think its fun for me?" I asked, breathing hard. "Do you think I want to be back here? I would give anything to not be here right now, I wish I was dead rather than here but that didn't happen did it. I wish I was at home training my slayers, out fighting with Faith or with... anyway I got sent here to do a job and I have two hours to do it. So can we get the juniors to 'cut the crap' and then I can give you the full brief."

((I swear I'm not actually such a bitch, i think the character is an outlet for the bitchiness-i swear I'm nothing like her!))

[Maya]

"Fine." I said stonily. "Lets do the breif, and then you can get the hell outta here if you hate us all so much. Just know one thing, Charlie- you jumped, we didnt push you." I put my arm around my daughter and lead her away.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"I'm sure you could have acted more of a bitch if you tried," I said, leaning against teh door frame. Joshua was right behind me, the ninja tained ex-Time Wizard itching to beat Charlotte into the ground. "I'm not going to try and understand you attitude, Charlotte. But like Maya said, we didn't push. And it wasn't Aila's fault, either, so don't take it out on her," my voice was suddenly harsh, harsher than I'd ever used on Charlotte. Going Bitch to me is one thing. My family? Whole different matter. "Y'know, I bet daddy would be so proud. You've turned into a real Watcher," without another word, I followed Maya and Aila.

"That was cold," Joshua said, catching up to me.

"You know me, mate," I said, with a sad tone in my voice. "No one hurts my family. No one."

[Maya]

*charlottes pov*

A mere flicker of my eyebrows registered that i had even heard them. Sure there was some tiny bit of me that felt a bit of a sting, but when i say tiny, i mean it. Who gave a crap if they hated me? This wasnt my life anymore. In a couple of hours my job would be done and i'd be gone. I smirked, and followed them through to begin the brief.
