"No," Doc said with a grimace, snapping the arm of one demon while his dagger went through the eye socket. "But you're a guy. Well, you were til she did that," a spin and a low sweep sent on into the ground, or it would have, had not Doc's elbow pushed him the rest of the way down. "Ya know, i think I noticed something here."

"Oh? Whats that then?" I asked as I flipped over an oncoming vamp and staked him from behind with one of the bolts. We were nearly through the whole lot of them in mere minutes, and to tell the truth, I was enjoying myself...

"Once you take out the leader," he said, breaking the neck of the last demon he could see. "These guys suck ass in a fight," he turned to her, flashing a care free grin. "A rookie could take them out. then again," his grin grew wider, looking at her almost proudly. "A rookie took their boss out, so i guess we shouldn't be too surprised, right?"

"Only a rookie in mind." I replied sharply, glaring at him. "The body was still mine." I spun, delivering a shattering kick to the side of the last demons head and knocking it clean off. The demon seemed to melt into sticky goo. I grimaced, "Gross."
I took another look around to make sure we were done, and just found Doc, looking at me in the wierdest way. I wasn't sure what it meant... In the past few years I had become an expert at reading facial expressions- fear, anger, confidence... I knew when I was being lied to, I knew when an enemy was going to make a move... but this expression, I was unfamiliar with. It freaked me out a little, but one thing kept coming to mind...
I turned away from him, staring down at the ground, where I prodded the goo with the tow of my boot.
"When the demon sifted through my memories..." I said suddenly, quietly, hesitantly, "Not all of them were bad. There was this one... it was a dream I used to have as a kid.... of sitting on rocks, looking out to sea, with my brothers arms around me, keeping me safe.... I used to ask my mum where it had been, and she told me that it was a dream.... we had never been anywhere like the place I described." I found that tears were welling in my eyes as I ran it through in my head yet again. I tried to hold them back... this wasn't supposed to be an emotional thing, it was just something I had to tell him... or ask him... I had to know. I turned to face him now, my eyes boring into his own,
"What I realise now, after all these years, is that it wasn't my brother at all... not the brother I knew all my life anyway. It was you, wasn't it? I had a memory of you all this time and I never knew it. Tell me the truth... was it just a dream?"

Doc had to think for a moment. Rocks, a beach... wait!
"Crescent Head," he whispered with a smile. "I remember... we used to go there for holidays, Christmas, I think. You were over excited and ran off. I followed, we found a place looking over the beach," he chuckled. "I was damn over protective, guess I still am a bit, but... you were only a kid, and I was your big brother, at the ripe old age of ten. It was about six months before..." before we were separated and my life wen to hell, he thought. "I can't believe... all this time, you actually remembered, in a way. Even if it was just a fragment."

I couldn't help smiling as a couple of tears fell.
"The subconscious is a funny thing." I said quietly. I was experiencing a very strange mixture of sadness, at losing a cherished memory of my brother, and joy at remembering this tiny detail of my former life. The strong arms I remember holding me, that sense of security and contentment... things I thought I had lost forever... that was all Doc, the guy standing infront of me.
I wasn't alone.
And it scared the life out of me.

Doc stood there for a moment, wondering what to do next. "Yeah," he said, reaching out hesitantly. If he touched her, several things could happen. She might kill him, break his arm or actually hug him. so, what to do...?
He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, squeezing lightly. "Our lives suck, pretty much. For the most part," he added.

I was torn... a large part of me wanted to throw myself into his arms and close my eyes and be that contented little girl once more. But then there was that other side that told me I was a slayer, and thats not how my life works. Like he said, it sucks, but you suck it up and deal with it, damn it, drop this sopping shit. That part of me favoured threatening to break his arm.
I pushed both of these sides away, and settled on a middle ground. I placed my own hand ontop of his on my shoulder, and squeezed it gently,
"For the most part." I repeated, smiling.

"You still want that time out?" he asked with a small smile. "Or you maybe want to catch a movie tomorrow. You know, some sibling make up time?" Was that pushing it? And why did that sound like he was asking her on a date? That was kinda gross to think of but... in a way, I guess it was. He was getting to know his sister. Kinda hard to know what to see after all this time. Was she still into the Wiggles?

I sighed, "I dont know, Doc... I do still need time... to get my head around all this... to work out where the hell I am in my life..." I paused, "But I guess a movie couldn't hurt in the mean time."
Could it? I hadn't been the the cinema in years... the idea of doing something totally normal was both very appealing and very scary...

"Yeah," he agreed. It was something, anyway. "So, when and where, or do we decide that AFTER we've washed off the demon gunk?"

I chuckled,
"Well maybe we should make sure theyre all dead first... and maybe check that Rogue isnt?" I gestured back towards the warehouse. The sounds of fighting seemed to have stopped so it was probably all over, but it seemed better to check.

"I figured you two needed your brother sister moment before I came over," she said coming around the corner. "Plus I eves dropped for a bit. Why people feel the need to go see a movie I have no idea." Being as old as she was she was not used to technology and probably never would be. "He had me watch some movie called 'Entrapment' the other night, it was weird to watch..."
"Sorry for threatening you." She looked exclusively at Doc, referring to when she woke up. "Didn't have any choice in the matter. I was much more impulsive then." Something she was thankful to have grown out of.
"Thank you for your concern though," she said to Maya giving a small smile.

"Well, as long as weveryone's alright and memories are back where they are," Doc said with a grin. "I'd call this case closed. This calls for a shower and a party. To the Spot?"
