Entries of Professor Maggie Walsh

I closed the door quietly behind me. They needed there time. I knew that very well. I could see it on her. Rupert was good with words. I was quite certain it was for the best to leave them alone. Walking with determained steps, I headed for the kitchen area. There was only one young woman there. Gladly one of those I had helped, I could still seethe scar on her cheek. I hadn't been able to do anything about it,sadly. Still she gave me a warm smile (one of the few I got) when I came walking towards her.

"Walsh! How good to see you. How can I help you? Still hungry?"

"No, not really. But I am here for some soup for the Slayer." Buffy, dammit. Learn to use her name, I thought to myself.

"Oh,the whole place is buzzing with the news of the successful rescue" she said while filling up a bowl with some soup. "How is she?"

"As good as can be expected."

"Ah yes... I can only imagine. Poor girl. Here, give her my best will you?" she said giving me the bowl.

"Of course. Thank you."

Part one of mission complete. Off to my little corner then. Putting down the soup, I went through what was there. I still didn't know what was up with Rupert's leg. Knowing him, he would probably shrug it off to. Or try to. Some bandages and salves would help, if a cut or bruise there was. And then some vitamins and a few other pills that would give Buffy some off her strength back. Hopefully it would rush her slayer-healing somewhat. Putting it all in a little bag, I headed back for Dawns room,with the soup in the other hand. Once there I knocked the door.Wouldn't do to just burst in.

Not giving much thoughts of my troops I hurried down the corridor to meet Dr Angelman. He was the one that had taken over the new HSTs when Riley and his men came back. I wanted to hear a first impression. It was vital to the project. And Angelmen knew that as well, which I clearly saw when meeting him at the office at the end of the cell-corridor. "Prof Walsh" he greeted "it might be that we have no need to lock much further for the blood we need." He pointed at the monitor. I saw the two HSTs sitting with there back towards the wall almost as if they sat with there back to each other, one frail locking dark woman and one punked up blonde. What a pair, I thought warily. It looked like they were still talking, and I regretted that we didn't have any mictrophones installed in the cells.

"Most excellent. As soon as we are done testing the serum as it is now, we will know if we need there blood. Bring one of the other HSTs to 314s test-room, I will conduct the test myself this time." Dr Angelman nodded, going through the files in the computer to pick out the next HST for the testing.

Excellent. My boys, my troops. And such fine specimens they had broughtback this evening. Apparently they were a couple to. Dr Angelman wouldof course do the standard tests on them, like every time. I neededblood from two blood related vampires. There was no working around it.Up till now, no such luck. It was the most important thing of it all.If I did not have all the ingredients ready, how else could I finish myproject? When I had all, all would be mine. Mine and the Initiatives.Standing by my computer, I could clearly hear Riley and his men comingto report.

"I hear it was a successful catch you made,gentlemen, or so Dr Angelman told me." I turned and looked at them.Splendid. Perfectly drilled. "So. The catch. Agent Finn, report."

Kids really. All of them. And still they were so strong. So strong,they managed to kill my dream. My son. Everything. All gone. TheInitiative was still fighting, for the all american hero. Like theyshould. But without me. After Adam had tried to take all over,including me, I was out. No coming back. At least they had healed me,giving back myself. Well, partly. I looked down at my arms. One just ashealthy as it always had been. One not so much... Only down to justunder the elbow, then there was a metallic robot arm, hidden under aglove. But I knew it was there. If they hadn't cut my arm off andreplaced it, I would have been dead. Better that really. I had done somuch, so much that I thought was good and the right way, only itwasn't. But in the light of how the world looked now, my small part asbeing the villian was a joke.

AndI had told him so, Giles. Rupert Giles. His fault , that I am stillalive. He had found me, in a heap at a bar drowning my sorrows inwhiskey and whatever else was strong enough to make me go numb. I don'tremember exatly what he said, but I can imagine it was not anythingnice. Got me home to his place and got me sober to. I am guessing theyneeded all the extra strength they could get for it was around then,when he found me that everything started to go bad. Really bad. To badfor my taste, so here I am. Being a good doctor and scientist. I do tryto help them, these kids. The once that made sure my dream fell, and Ilost all. Still don't know why I do it. Why I stay around. But I don'tshow. Never show.

Now where is my medical equipement? Gottacheck so all is there, or at least all that I have gotten my hands on.They might come here. With her. The slayer. If they made it.
