Being the hero wasn't always about saving the innocent, or defending the truth. It wasn't always justice and mercy, and all that stuff people wanted to hear about when they talked about being 'good'. Peter had been in the business long enough to know that sometimes, being the hero meant being persecuted, breaking the law, stealing, coercing, even killing. It just depended on the battle. Sometimes you had to stop the bomb. Sometimes you had to be the bomb.
Sometimes, you just needed to pick a fight.
That was his job at the moment. Pick a fight with the woman who'd planted him under three feet of concrete and blacktop not so long ago. Willow was powerful, yes, but according to the sources he'd heard from, she'd once been a good person. And by all rights, should be again. So he'd begrudgingly accepted the task of serving as the distraction.
Which he was fine with. Really, it felt good sometimes to let go and see what he could do. Not too much, of course - the idea of letting go that much worried him a bit - but enough to get a good sweat up. Once Cordelia and Xander were ready, he'd prodded at Willow over the boards to get her attention. Then it was just a matter of waiting for her to show up.
