Characters: Buffy, Ensemble, Faith Lehane, Joyce, Spike
Summary:

Inspired by a scene from the fic A Child Born of Pain.

What if Spike had been visiting Joyce when Faith showed up? Spike would try and chase her off with words (calling himself the Slayer of Slayers and warning her away), but that wouldn't scare Faith.

What if he was forced to fight her in order to protect Joyce, with the chip firing the whole time?

He must win the fight, knocking Faith out. And Faith's switcharoo device needs to be destroyed.

What's Buffy's reaction when she gets there and finds that Spike nearly killed himself for real protecting her mother from harm? How will the others react?



Summary: When Faith tries to hold the Summer household hostage, she finds an unexpected defender who turns Buffy's perspectives on right and wrong upside-down.
