Buffy & Freddy.
WHO: Buffy Summers & Freddy Freeman
WHAT: Ooh, time to go sightseeing!
WHERE: Starts off at Freddy’s place, moves on from there.
WHEN: Sunday, some point after the morning of Christmas in June.
WARNINGS: Language maybe.
SPOILERS: Um.. not sure? Maybe for Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Shazam?

Buffy checked her wallet once more as she headed for the floor Freddy was staying in. She was sure she had enough for whatever they likely did, and she could try and improvise if she didn’t, but it didn’t hurt to triple check. She hadn’t exactly arrived with a bucket of cash. But she’d been wearing some jewelry that she pawned the other day in the off chance she didn’t find a job in time for next month’s rent. Plus she had ‘earned’ some extra when coming across some muggers during patrol. Luckily she hadn’t needed to buy a new wardrobe as of yet so her necessities had been kind of minimal so far. She knew she wanted to be sure Freddy had a good time and hoped whatever they did would be enough.

Goodland was a strange place, mirror of Manhattan that it was, but it seemed like the well known tourist spots still existed so there was still plenty to see and she was more than willing to hear any suggestions Freddy had. He seemed like a good kid and while he didn’t totally remind her of Dawn, he did remind her of some of the younger Slayers they had managed to locate and start training before her arrival here. And while none of them were ever exactly like Dawn, no one could be, they all seemed to trigger a big sister instinct in her. Maybe it was the whole shared power thing or the fact she had just started taking the whole oldest Slayer role to a new level. Whatever it was, it had her protective big sister senses on high, and the kid was already on her list of people she’d take a bullet for. Funny that. Her thoughts finally settling down after one last cash count, Buffy paused in front of the apartment door with a shrug. Whatever happened, happened. In the end, she wanted to explore and having company, even if it was a kid (or rather a teenager) was a hell of a lot more fun than adulting with adults. Confident in her choices and wallet contents, Buffy lightly rapped her knuckles on the door and waited.

Freddy didn't know as much about the supernatural as he did about superheroes, but Buffy, super or not, was definitely finding her way on his list of favorite heroes. "That is totally cool," he replied. "Billy? My foster brother. He just became Shazam. That is a superhero. He is only 14, but when he says 'Shazam' he grows older and gets superpowers. It is really, really awesome." His expression fell. "He had a fight with a super villain before I got here. I hope he is okay."

The name didn’t ring any bells with her, but she could admit her superhero knowledge wasn’t great. She had the basics and of course Powergirl, but outside of them it could be pretty sporadic. “That’s pretty cool. What can he do?” His powers were probably cooler than hers were, which were pretty basic compared to actual comic book characters as far as she knew.

Buffy mentally frowned but nudged him gently with an elbow, “Hey, I’m betting he’ll be fine. He probably kicked the bad guy’s ass and is ready to party or something. ” She offered a genuinely encouraging smile. “As someone who’s fought a few villains that could be considered super, he might have taken a few hits, but I bet he came up swinging. It what heroes do.” Except when they don’t, but she wasn’t going to mention that. Sometimes the lies were what a person needed. She missed the days where she could have them.

Freddy nodded, but he remembered the villain throwing him against the wall and demanding his phone. Freddy tried to push him off, but it had been impossible. Then next thing he knew? He was in Goodland with no idea how his family fared back home. Still, he hoped Billy came through for them. He regretted the argument they had right before the villain showed up. Who was that guy anyway?

"Right," he said, forcing a smile. "So where to? Central Park?"

Oh good, subject change. That meant Buffy could focus on the distraction that was tourism and fun times. She could totally handle that. As in, she could hopefully use it as a way to distract Freddy from worrying. She nodded with a look of determination, “Aye, captain. I figure we start there, possibly get lost and then we’ll be forced to take over the park and rule it with our benevolent wisdom, and we’ll live off of street vendor’s for at least a week before convincing park goers to give us tribute in the form of pizza and cash.”

She paused for dramatic effect, “Or we could just explore, check out the animals, and eat a bunch of junk food while making fun commentary at things. And don’t worry, we’ll get those chocolate kisses at some point. I just don’t want them to melt before you get them to your friend.” She grinned at him and hoped her ridiculous plan was taken in stride.

	"I think a Buffy/Freddy take over is in order." He grinned. "Or at least until we get hungry." It felt good to get out and about, especially with someone cool and fun like Buffy. "And thanks," he added. "I hope Laura likes them," he said, referring to the chocolate. (Reply to this) (Parent)
