---

Spike has posed:
There are a lot of things you might expect when living with a vampire. The idea that he is bringing home a teenage girl might not be one of them. At least he warned and asked first. He doesn't go into a lot of detail, but does admit her sister is in a lot of trouble and might not survive.

He makes sure Selina knows the girl might be in danger to stay home. His joke at least, he isn't bringing the mother home with him too. At least she is somewhere else safe with family. For some reason the sister wanted to come with the Big Bad.

Catwoman has posed:
It's a good thing that Buffy doesn't know Selina's alternate identity, since she might have second thoughts about having Dawn visit Spike in Gotham. But as it is, she puts on a good front as a charitable socialite - what batter role model for Dawn? Besides, at least it'll keep her out of trouble.

Of course Selina was informed about the visit, and she was happy to meet any of Spike's friends, even if it is the younger duster of the girl he had pined over for years. She is at home, relaxing, watching tv when Spike returns, and she glances towards the door, "Evening honey, how was the trip?"

Spike has posed:
He opens the door and lets Dawn in with him. He nods to Selina and smiles a little bit,"Uneventful and dull." he comments as he slides out of the coat to reveal some wicked bruising on the upper body and maybe she can tell through the tight shirt that his ribs are broken and mending.

"Don't be shy Dawn. Her bark is worse than her bite." he assures the teen,"Selina Kyle, Dawn Summers. Dawn, Selina." For her part, Dawn looks a little hesitant. She takes Selina in and forces a little smile,"Hey." she finally manages.

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle arches a brow at the bruises, "Looks like you had some fun without me?" she purrs, looking more amused than out out. "Ah, and you must be the Slayer's little sister. Nice to meet you, Dawn. I once had a friend about your age, she was very sweet, like a little sister to me. How are you liking Gotham so far?"

Spike has posed:
"What can I tell you. Everywhere I go people want to kill me." Spike comments and hangs his coat up, letting Dawn talk if she will. He stretches a little, taking a deep breath, and the ribs pop back into place. He makes a face and sighs,"I don't know why. I'm such a people person."

Dawn crosses her arms, kinda holding herself and walking into the house a little. She looks at Selina for another moment, then finally starts to look around the place. Her eyes widen a little and then she regains her composure,"It looks a little dangrous in some areas. I guess that's why Spike stayed. Thanks...for letting me..you know. Crash here for a while."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle laughs, climbing to her feet, leaning over to kiss him on the lips briefly. "Really Spike, you are a trouble magnet. Good thing you have me to pamper you, hmm? I've got dinner in the oven and something special for you too." she winks at him. Glancing to Dawn she smiles. "Welcome to my abode. I have a spare bedroom at the end of the hall. make yourself at home."

Spike has posed:
He smirks and returns the kiss,"Trouble just follows me everywhere." he admits,"The best thing to have, a beautiful woman with a lover's touch." he adds. He looks at the kitchen and smirks,"Food sounds good. Something that isn't trying to kill me first."

Dawn smiles a little more and takes her bag,"Thank you...again." she says once more. With that she slinks off to the bedroom to have a look around and get out of the way as it were.

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle hmms, "Well..If you'd like, I'd be happy to give you a nice relaxing massage later." she winks at him. "Once you get settled in, I'll serve the table then grab you that special drink, hmm? It's not often that I have company over afterall.."

Spike has posed:
Watching Dawn go he lowers his voice,"Her sister is in a magic pinch." he finally comments,"The kind she doesn't need to see or know about right now. Everything else aside, she just needed a change of scenery because trouble tends to follow that bunch and the one that does the fighting is in a bad way."
He takes his voice to a more normal conversational tone,"Massage sounds great love. A drink too." He leans in to kiss her once and mutters,"Thank you Selina. I owe you a big one."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle smiles, "Anytime, honey."she pats the seat next to her, "Co e on, take a load off, let me work on those muscles of yours.." she frowns, thinking about Dawn, "Gotham is hard,y the best or safest place for an impressionable teenager but thankfully she has us to watch over her. I'll try not to be a bad influence on her."

Spike has posed:
He takes a seat at the indicated place and sighs softly,"Probably safer than Budehaven and Sunnydale right now." he admits. He looks down the hall to the room and shakes his head,"She's a lot older in her behavior than her years show. I'm not sure how."

He laughs softly and mutters,"She could use a good role model in the bad ways sometimes. She'd be less likely to get caught that way."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle smiles, motioning for him to turn his back to her, and then she gets to work on rubbing his shoulders, squeezing gently but firmly as she kneads into those tough muscles. "Mmm, you really abuse your body too much, you know that? You should pamper yourself more.." she smiles, "Well..I dint know if I'm the greatest role model but I'll do my best..Tell me more about this girl..

Spike has posed:
He turns so she can start rubbing shoulders and lets his head hang a little bit, feeling the attention and pampering,"I may have to keep you around for a while." he comments softly,"The fun part about a body that isn't getting any older. It will fix itself so I can take care of those that take care of me." He laughs softly and adds,"I think you might be a very good role model. She has trouble with things that aren't really hers. Maybe you can show her what the smart choices are instead of making the wrong options."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle smiles, pressing her lips against his neck as she massages. "Mm, even a dead body that can heal needs a little RandR sometimes. I hope you can stick around a little while longer, although it may not be wise to teach the little but my particular skills..Still I'll give it a try." she nods.

Spike has posed:

     "R and R sounds good." he admits,"Hopefully things with her sister will settle down and she'll go back home safely. We can find time to go to a beach somewhere for a week or three." he suggests,"Maybe to Cabo or the Bahamas. Unless you'd like something cold to warm up with me."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle mmms, "That sounds wonderful, although I suppose we would have to go there in the middle of the night." she shrugs, "Even so, it might be quite enjoyable." she arches a brow, "Seems like this Buffy gets in trouble a lot.Poor Dawn.."

Spike has posed:
"I thought so." he agrees in regards to the vacation. He rests his arms on his legs,"Buffy is in trouble a lot. It comes with being Chosen by the universe to hunt and kill vampires and demons. That tends to get trouble. I can't tell you how many times the two of us nearly killed each other in years past."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle chuckles, "So what, you're addicted to trouble? Is that why you lined over her, why you were drawn towards me even?" she smiles, giving his head a nice massage now, "Not that I mind, I just find your taste in women to be..Interesting. But it seems she must really trust you though, to let her take care of her sister. You two sure have a..Complicated relationship." it's not that she is jealous in the least. Curious? Certainly.

Spike has posed:
"Only in the sense it follows me everywhere." he replies to her and smirks,"As for you? You had a sense of beauty and just enough darkness to to tolerate me without wanting to change me." There is a soft mmmm sound as you hit a sore muscle,"The little bit is more fond of me than her sister. That sort of thing. We've been through some things so I manage to be OK with her. I wasn't ever in love with Dawn."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle chuckles, "Dawn's a bit young for you.lI meant your pining over Buffy." she shrugs, "Not that I'm jealous or anything. Nothing wrong with..Experimenting right? Although she clearly has a crush on you, Dawn does." Selina shrugs, "Guess I'm not so black and white. I understand that it's hard to walk the straight and narrow. Sometimes bad people do good things abd vice versa. People like Batman don't get that.."

Spike has posed:
"The world isn't black and white." Spike agrees thoughtfully,"Shades of grey." He laughs softly and leans back a little against her,"Somehow I don't think I want to see you jealous love. I'm afraid I might either wake up on fire or find my chest being violated with something sharp and wooden."

There is a deep sigh and he nods,"Yes Dawn's got a thing for me. Hoping maybe she'll meet someone that gets her attention sometime. I like the bit, but she really doesn't have a concept what goes on in the dark recesses of my skull."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle shrugs, still massaging his shoulders, though her arms wrap more sensually around his neck now, pressing gentle kisses against his collar bone. "Mmm pity all those superheroes don't get it. Nice to see you're smarter than them..Speaking of, how's the old chip treating you lately? I suppose things with Lex may yet be risky. Not sure just how far I trust him on your brain.."

Spike has posed:
That massage is a wonderful thing and he leans into it as much as she'll oblige,"What makes a super hero after all? Just someone that names themself and then they are heroes, whether they do something good or not."

He considers the Lex comment and shakes his head,"About like normal. Don't hit a human sort, don't get my brain violated with electricty." He shakes his head and admits,"I'm not sure what I think about him. He's a little too confident. Coming from me that's saying a lot."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle shrugs, "Good question. I think a lot of superheroes are just spoiled brats who never got to live a hard life and dint realize how easy they have it." age sighs, leaning forward, her lips brushing his ear. "On the other hand, I know how cruel the world can be, and I'm not afraid to fight back to survive. Dawn seems innocent, naive. I hope we aren't a bad influence on her though.."

As for Lex she shrugs, "He is...Brilliant, intelligent, cunning..But ultimately ruthless. Nit sure he can be trusted but I don't know of any alternatives."

Spike has posed:
He mmms a little at the kiss to his ear,"Dawn's innocent and trying to keep her innocent of some things and not as much on others." he admits,"She and her sister both have a pre-disposition to fall on the sword, but Dawn's got a little streak of people like us in her too. I just want to make sure the little bit could survive if she needed."

He sighs and nods in regards to Luther,"He reminds me a little of me before the chip in some ways. Little in the way conscience. I'm not sure he really thinks past himself honestly." He laughs softly,"Ok, so maybe he reminds me of me a lot."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle smiles, "So what did you have in mind for Dawn? A few street survival skills?" she chuckles and shakes her head, "She a kleptomaniac or what? I saw her eyeing some of my jewelry, may need to empty out her pockets later.."

As for Luther, Catwoman frowns a bit. "I'm sorry, I hoped he would have an answer for you and that door is always open..Just not sure if it's safe..But this chip must torture you.." she chuckles, "I'm curious to have known the pre chip you..Would you have killed me by now?"

Spike has posed:

"Dawn has a tendency towards mild larceny." he agrees softly,"Might be better we teach her the difference between a smart mark and a jail sentence. Some street survival would be good too. Maybe teach her how to pass locks too. Safe cracking might be a bit much yet."

"As for Lex. We'll forget about it and move along." he admits. He looks back towards her and then turns all the way around,"Pre-chip me would have killed you by now, but would have made you like me too. We'd have some times out there. Terrorize the country side and teach some of the "good guys" some new tricks."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle smirks and shrugs, "Well, doesn't hurt to learn some new tricks at least." she chuckles, "Probably give Buffy a. massive headache and a reason to hate you but..Might be fun too, hmm?" as for Lex, Selina lets it go for now. "Ooh.." she shivers, "Liked playing rough huh. But I'm s I'd have given you a reason or two not to kill me."

Spike has posed:
"It will keep her mind off things back at home I think. That and I'd like to annoy her good sister a little bit too. It's good for her. Something else to blame me fore." he turns a little and leans towards her enough to kiss her lightly,"I always like playing rough love, just have to be careful these days, nothing kills the mood like an electric induced migraine." He laughs softly and adds,"I wouldn't have killed you...well I guess I would have, but I would have had you to play along with for eternity so it's not all bad, until it is. The whole demon soul bit."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle laughs, pinching him playfully, "Mm you are positively wicked." she grins, flashing white teeth at him. "Although..Don't you know kitties like to play with their food too?" she sighs tired, leaning against him. "Soo you plan to shape Dawn into a mini version of you and annoy her sis in the meantime."

Spike has posed:
He twitches at the pinch and turns towards her to smirk,"Big bad remember?" he teases lightly,"I must be mellowing in my old age." He touches his nose to hers and smirks,"Kitties playing with their food. Is that what I am?" he continues. A long moment of thought,"It only seems right. It'll make Dawn happy and give me somehting to argue with her sister about."
