Trust Issues TtH Prompt: #24 Sunlight Summary: Buffy and Vala have roommates in their cell. “I don’t know why you’re so upset,” Vala said from her corner of the cell. “You could have warned me,” Buffy spat. “We’re teammates. We’re supposed to trust each other.” “I’m sorry, Buffy, but I seriously didn’t think he’d play this card this time. He hasn’t done this in two years. I swear.” Buffy sighed. “It’s okay, I just have some trust issues. Being arrested wasn’t on my list of things to do today.” “Mine either.” After a moment, Buffy asked, “So how long are we going to have to wait?” “The last time I was in here for no more than an hour.” “Good, ‘cause it’s already been forty-five minutes.” The steel barred door swung open and two figures stumbled through. Then the door shut again with a loud clang. “Hey, guys,” Cameron said with a grin. “What the hell are you doing?” Buffy hissed. “With Jackson and Vala’s little problem there wasn’t enough time to send for backup or figure out how to break you out, so we created a disturbance and got ourselves arrested,” Cameron proudly explained. The two women shared an incredulous look before Vala replied, “You idiot! This was just Barak’s way of showing us that he has the upper hand. Buffy and I will be released shortly, while the two of you will be stuck in here.” “Huh?” Cameron asked, a confused look on his face. “Apparently this has happened before,” Buffy said with a roll of her eyes. “And you didn’t think to warn us?” Daniel cried, his cheeks flushed with anger. “He hasn’t done this in years. He probably only did it to prove a point to Buffy,” Vala said in a defensive tone. “Still, a little warning would have been nice,” Daniel grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest. “See,” Buffy cried. “It’s not just me!” “Well excuse me for having a few trust issues myself, but I truly didn’t think this would happen.” “Why don’t we all just calm down,” Cameron said, bravely stepping between his feuding teammates. “What’s been done is done. Why don’t we figure out how Daniel and I are going to get out of here once you two are released.” “Fine.” “Fine.” “Fine.” Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
