“It’s the bank,” Angel explained, standing up. He turned away, running an impatient hand through unkempt hair. “It’s evil.”
Buffy made a face. “What bank isn’t?”
LOL!
She was unconcerned. “I’ve upset worse. I upset a god. I upset the root of all evil. I upset a lady with a snake head that looked kinda like a penis, and found out Doublemeat is a vegetarian enterprise. And the fast food conglomerate? Now those are people you don’t want to upset..."
Hee! Love this shout out.
“And yet, somehow, I’m not afraid.”
This reminds me of Wishverse Buffy again, like when she took on the Master and his court, seemingly unconcerned - almost reckless in her approach. Though I guess from her perspective now, her life is a crap shoot isn't it? She fights and dies, or she she doesn't in which case she gets to go home...until the next time. How very sad. Not much of a future to look forward to.
At the same time that she feels fearless about going against the Immortal's minions, she denies her feelings for Angel (or how hemakes her feel) because it frighten her. I think you showed both Buffy's fearlessness and fears in a very real and clever way.
Teeny tiny typo: “Nine. ” = "Nein."
This is a really wonderful story and I look forward to reading more very soon (I hope?).
