This was insane. Babs might have been tough, but she wasn't invulnerable. Xander respected and thought that she was both highly capable and intelligent, but right now he wanted to grab the handles of her wheelchair and push her right back into the building that she had come from. Being capable didn't mean that a woman in a wheelchair could possibly get by in this mess. There were demons everywhere! And Jacen? The thing possessing Jacen? He wasn't exactly small potatoes. Even Xander wouldn't stand a chance if he decided to head their way and he wasn't looking forward to finding out what would happen if Babs got caught in his attacks. For the first time since he could remember, Xander found himself scowling at Babs. They didn't need Batman here to give her hell about what she was doing. No, Xander was going to take care of that all on his own. If they made it through this thing alive? Babs was going to hear a mouthful and then some.
For now though? Babs was right. He couldn't stop reading. Not if he wanted to make sure that they both got through this in one piece. She was already out on the field now. There was no way to get her back inside until the demons around them lessened, which meant that Xander had to trust that she wouldn't get herself killed until they did so. He shot her one final seething look, sprayed the demons in a full circle with his watergun one more time, then looked back down to the crumpled paper that he had been reading off of before. He was beyond angry now, but they had a job to do. Especially if they wanted to get out of this nightmare in one piece.
"Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio!" The chanting was a good start. The demons didn't like it. They stopped in place, bodies twitching and jerking as he read out the exorcism in as loud of a voice as he could muster.
