Jonathan. On his bed, awake. Staring at the ceiling. Bored.

*There's a knock at his door.*

*Andrew opens the door, and closes it behind himself. And stands there for a few seconds.*

Hey.

Jonathan looks at him sharply and sits up, attention caught by something in his face or voice.

"Hey. What's up?"

Date: 2005-05-13 11:37 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (grim)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
Uh. Couple things.

*Andrew leans against the edge of the desk, half-sitting on it.*

Anyone tell you about Faith?

From: [identity profile] jonathanparagon.livejournal.com
"No, I haven't been... what? What happened?"

His eyes are intent on Andrew.

She kind of --

*He pauses, breathes out, breathes in again. His voice is flat.*

The front door opened just long enough for us to see. She was fighting a demon on the edge of a Hellmouth. Different one, not the Sunnydale one.

She dragged it in. Into the Hellmouth. She's trapped there now.

The response is instant and automatic.

"What can we do?"

Date: 2005-05-13 11:54 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (grim)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
*Just as instant, almost sharp:*

Apparently nothing.

*A pause.*

Sorry.
-- We tried. Tim tried my summoning spell, and that didn't work, and he tried a huge portal spell, and that --

Jonathan is shaking his head in denial before Andrew's even finished.

"No. There has to be some... isn't there?"

Dream says ...

Dream says she's going to get herself out. Somehow.

He told Tim to stop, when we did the summoning spell. Said it was making it worse.

Jonathan doesn't like it, but he nods reluctantly.

"At least she gets out."

Date: 2005-05-13 12:08 pm (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (lookdown)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
Yeah.

*A pause.*



There's more.

Date: 2005-05-13 12:13 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jonathanparagon.livejournal.com
Almost resigned, now. "What?"

Date: 2005-05-13 12:17 pm (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (lookdown)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
*He's not meeting Jonathan's eyes.*

When we saw her? The first time? Door opened just long enough to show us, and then closed. And I tried to open it again. To get to her, you know?

...And it opened. On the motel. Place I left from.

There's a long still moment, almost stretched, as Jonathan thinks over the implications of that.

Finally, dully, "Right."

Date: 2005-05-13 12:26 pm (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (woe!)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
*Andrew looks up, and meets Jonathan's eyes.*

*He looks miserable. And terrified.*


I don't know what to do.

Date: 2005-05-13 12:28 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jonathanparagon.livejournal.com
"You should go home, of course." Emotionless, though his eyes aren't. Jonathan knows that's what Andrew should do. Fight the good fight, and all.

Date: 2005-05-13 12:31 pm (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (woe!)

-- I know, but --

I can't just leave.

"Not - not right now, maybe. But soon."

Date: 2005-05-13 01:19 pm (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (woe!)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
*Andrew bites his lip, looking at Jonathan's face.*

I don't want to go.

Date: 2005-05-13 01:20 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jonathanparagon.livejournal.com
Jonathan looks away.

"I know."

Date: 2005-05-13 01:27 pm (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (woe!)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
And it, it's not --

We were all here, and then Warren got alive again, and now --


*Andrew swallows hard.*

If any one of us deserved another chance it was you.

It's not fair.

"It's not about fair, Andrew. It is how it is."

...Maybe it doesn't have to be.

-- see, because Warren was dead too, and now -- and Tim was dead, only okay that was different, but you're a magician too, that's got to count for something --

"Warren got his original body back", Jonathan points out, but there's hope growing in his eyes.

Date: 2005-05-13 01:52 pm (UTC)

Right. We'll need ...

*Andrew fumbles in his pockets for the ubiquitous notebook and a pen.*

From: [identity profile] jonathanparagon.livejournal.com
"I've actually never tried anything like this", Jonathan admits.

*Andrew pauses, then grins up at him -- the old Let's Try Something Crazy grin.*

Me neither.

Date: 2005-05-13 02:04 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jonathanparagon.livejournal.com
And Jonathan can't help grinning back.

"Let's do it."

*Andrew offers a handshake to seal the deal.*

Date: 2005-05-13 02:19 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jonathanparagon.livejournal.com
Jonathan shakes his hand without hesitation.

Date: 2005-05-13 02:26 pm (UTC)

From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
*And if Andrew holds onto Jonathan's hand a little longer than he needs to, and grips it a little tighter ... well, maybe that's understandable.*

We're going to do this. Somehow.
