[I can't see you, but are you keeping up well enough, can you cross its path - we'll see if it reacts, go from there?]

Permalink
[Done.]

He darts in front of the strange creature.
Permalink
The strange creature swats him aside like he's no more substantial than a balloon and keeps going, not slowing.

[Shit, are you okay -] Bella makes a jump for it and manages to land on its back. It doesn't seem to care. It doesn't slow down.

[I am less certain that engaging is wise,] he says, but he picks himself up off the ground and chases after them both.

[Giles, this thing just knocked Sherlock across the street like he was a ping-pong ball. I'm riding it piggyback now trying to twist its neck or something - no face, by the way - but it's acting like I'm not even there, I can't budge it.]

She swings around its shoulders to try from another angle.

It grabs her off of it, hurls her to the ground, and steps on her in its unslowed quest for the school.

She doesn't move.

That shit is just not on.

Sherlock tries a square.

He also brainphones Jarvis.

Jarvis calls Charlie.

Permalink
The demon falls over and, with its considerable momentum behind it, skids. It does not move either. Unlike Bella, no heartbeat was evident before, and none is evident now. (Bella, however, is still alive.)

"Hello?" Charlie says to the phone.
Permalink

"Bella has encountered some trouble. She is alive, and will almost certainly be fine, but she needs to be taken to the hospital. Please arrange for an ambulance at Chester and Oak; you can most likely prompt faster reaction than I."

Permalink
Charlie blinks.

He sets the handset of the landline down on the counter and radios for an ambulance, barking orders at the paramedics.

When it's on his way, he picks up the phone again. "Who are you and what happened to my daughter?"
Permalink

"My name is Jarvis. She ran afoul of a Sunnydale hazard, which has since been neutralized."

Permalink

"How do you know about it? Were you with her? She hasn't mentioned a Jarvis."

Permalink

"Sherlock is with her. He doesn't have a phone and hers may be broken, so he contacted me through other means."

Permalink
"Other means. Right. Thank you. Thank you very much."

Charlie hangs up and gets in his car to catch up to the ambulance.

Meanwhile, the ambulance is not far from the correct intersection. Paramedics hop out of it.
Permalink

Sherlock absents himself.

Permalink

The paramedics load Bella into the ambulance and drive her away. They quite ignore the still white hulk of a demon, laid out on the sidewalk half a block away.

Permalink

He wished to kill it; presumably it is dead. Sherlock approaches the demon and attempts to pick it up.

Permalink

It is heavy. Heavy enough that without particularly trying to stomp, its step could leave a Slayer with all of Bella's manyfold blessings from her alt unconscious on the ground. Certainly too heavy to drag away. He can shift its hand or its foot, if he puts his back into it.

Really now.

Well. He brainphones Giles.
