Post by Rowena on Feb 14, 2009 0:38:18 GMT -5
Rowena laid on her back, her eyes gazing up at the ceiling. In the last few weeks, she had gotten sick, and atop of that, dislocated her kneecap. The day she had been injured, she was terrified that she was going to be killed. It had been the only fear she had since she had been with Buffy. Her focus was on her knee, when a red haired slayer saved her. Instead of thanking her, she crawled to a safe location. She lost consciousness, and let her team down.
She had been sitting in this hotel room, waiting. Her kneecap had fully recovered a week before, and she was eager to get back to slaying. Buffy had kept her in the hotel, though, fearing that she hasn't fully healed. The girls were training, and it annoyed Rowena. They messed up on the easiest moves, in her mind. She would say something, but didn't want to bother having their attention on her.
She took off her cap, and untied her hair. Blonde locks of hair cascaded onto her shoulders. Attempting to relax, Rowena reached for the remote. Not feeling it in her hands, she looked to the side. A black haired slayer had the remote on her lap, mashing the buttons in rapidly. She stopped when she saw a commercial for hair extensions.
They looked like they hadn't been brushed in weeks, much less washed. Cracking her knuckles, Rowena looked at her. The girl looked down, and passed her the remote. Rowena put the channel to VH1 and watched Sober House light up the screen.
"Zees channel is nuzing but butox injecshuned beeches valking avound, cvying over zer fake boobs." Rowena said, struggling with her German accent.

Jin was asked to go see if the slayers at the London Parks Hotel were going okay they asked about one particular to see if she was recovering from her injury. Jin pulled to a stop at the hotel’s car park. Climbing out of the car Jin looked around as he closed the door today was just like any other ordinary day but then again something always went wrong and Jin knew it too. Jin walked into the hotel and pressed up on the elevator as he watched the doors close and the lift move upwards. It didn’t take long for the elevator to reach his stop for Jin to exit the elevator. Jin walked down the hallway and towards the hotel room that the slayers were staying at; he took the piece of paper that contained the room number for the hotel room. Jin found the room and knocked on it twice before he waited for it to be answered.
Jin didn’t have to wait long as the door opened to reveal a slayer looking at him. Jin smiled as the slayer let him in knowing that he was a watcher and all. Looking around Jin noticed that the slayers were doing alright he knew that Buffy was out training a group of slayers right now. Jin’s eyes fell upon Rowena a German slayer who had injured herself recently. Jin walked over towards Rowena and turned towards the television screen to see what they were watching he laughed and turned back towards Rowena. “Back home in Tokyo I’d be watching Anime right about now.” Jin explained to Rowena. “I came over to see how you where holding up after the injury you received.” Jin explained to Rowena as he looked at her.

Watching the ceiling once again, Rowena's thoughts were interrupted with the sound of the door opening and closing. She looked over to the right, and saw a familiar face. Jin Oka, a watcher. He approached her, and asked about her injury. She smirked a little, and smacked a bubble with some gum in her mouth.
"Ahmm. My kneecvap haz vecoverd quvite vell." Rowena said, feeling a bit more comfortable with the words that came out of her mouth.
She looked at him standing up. He looked ruggedly handsome, young, and awfully cute. Looking into his eyes, she smiled at him a little bit. The other slayers pointed at him and giggled. They hadn't seen a boy in a few months, and of course, girls will be girls.
"Looks like ju have qvite ze fan club." Rowena said, chuckling a little bit.

Jin looked at Rowena as she explained to him about her injury he smiled when Rowena explained that it was healing up quiet well; pushing his glasses up to his nose so they wouldn’t fall down Jin looked around for a moment before looking back at Rowena. “That’s good to hear we were worried about your injury.” Jin explained as his Japanese accent could be clearly herd. Jin blushed slightly when Rowena explained about the fan club he hadn’t noticed it before but now he noticed the girls looking at him he smiled and waved. Turning back to Rowena he took his glasses of and whipped them clean with the end of his shirt. “Yes um I think your right about that tone Rowena.” Jin replied to her as he placed his glasses back on.

Weeks Earlier The doors to a Jeep slammed shut, and out came Rowena, Satsu, Erica, and Buffy. Their mission was to rescue another slayer that had been captured earlier in the day. Satsu had her hair tied up, and her cap gently placed on her head backward. The four girls went into the storage room, and saw a girl in the center, bound up and crying. Rowena charged in, straight for the girl, but was tackled across the room. Slamming against the wall, she jumped back up to her feet without blinking. Turning her flashlight on, she saw nothing in the room. And no sign of the girl.
Looking around, the slayers found nothing. Not a trace of what had attacked Rowena. Flipping on the light switch, Rowena looked around more carefully. A door was open in the back of the storage room, and once again, Rowena bolted for it. When she reached the outside, she felt the cold breeze. Calling for the other slayers to follow, Rowena began to search the open yard.
"HELP. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!" a voice cried.
Erica, one of the lesser trained slayers, was on the floor, being tackled to the floor by a group of three vampires. Rowena grasped onto her stake, and tossed it directly into one of their hearts. The other two continued to feast on Erica's blood.
"Svit." Rowena said, sprinting back to them.
Erica's lifeless body laid on the floor, motionless. The two vampires charged at Buffy and Satsu. Looking down at Erica, Rowena felt much guilt. A tear built up in her eye, but she wiped it away. Placing her hands onto Erica's body, Rowena lifted her up and carried her back to the Jeep they arrived in. Only after placing her into the car, she was greeted with a kick straight into her kneecap.
Grunting at first, Rowena spun around, looking for what had hit her. A large vampire stood before her, his face full of blood. Punching him clean in the jaw, Rowena followed up with a boot straight to his face. He went back a ways, and charged back at her. Not seeing anywhere to go, Rowena simply ducked. Big mistake. She was flung into the air, and crashed onto the hood of the car.
The vampire chuckled, and grabbed her by the leg. Tossing her back up into the air, he put out a left knee. The knee sent a shock wave of pain up and down Rowena's spine, and she cried out in pain. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a glass of holy water. Smashing the contained into his face, Rowena gained precious moments of recovery.
Grabbing onto a stake in her backpack, Rowena charged at the vampire once again. He hid behind the door of the car, and she leaped over it. To her surprise, he was awfully quick for such a big man. He grabbed onto her leg, and shoved it onto the seat. He then pulled open the door farther, and slammed it shut, directly on her kneecap. Rowena screamed and wailed in pain, crawling into the distance as he began to focus on Satsu and Buffy. She let them down. She let herself down.
Rowena awoke the following day, learning that not only did they fail to save the slayer that they were on a mission to save, but they failed to save Erica.--------------------------------------------------------------------- Snapping back into the conversation she was having with Jin, Rowena smiled a little bit. He had a very cute face, and was awfully shy, it seemed. She hoped that he had come to send her on a new mission, or at least a training session. She was eager to get onto the field again. Looking into his eyes once more, she blushed for no apparent reason. "Uhm.." Rowena said softly, looking back up at him, a tad embarassed. |

Jin stood silently as Rowena seemed to slip into her very own day dream. While Jin waited for Rowena to snap out of it he took the chance to look around the hotel room it was a much better set up then he was currently living and it seemed that the girls kept on starring at him as well he blushed again when it came down to girls Jin was a little bit shy. Jin watched as Rowena blushed as well though he didn’t know why. “I’ve got some time to kill so to speak if you’re up to it want to do some training? We can go up on the roof of the hotel to see if you’re recovered fully or not.” Jin explained to Rowena he looked around once again as he waited for her response. Jin stood silent as he looked back towards Rowena he smiled as he continued to wait. It would be good for Jin to get out and do some training he hadn't be able to get some training done since the new books had came in.

Simply hearing the word training made Rowena's heart race. She was excited for battle. She nodded, and gave him a nice smile. He was awfully nice for a watcher, from what she encountered, they were rather rude, and annoying. He was easygoing and sweet.
"Vut of cvourse, I'm alvays up for a vight." Rowena said, winking at him.
She got up from the bed, and stretched her arms out a little bit. Flipping her hair back, Rowena applied some Bubbalicious lip gloss. Looking at Jin up and down, she gave him an assertive nod, walking to toward the door.
The girls looked at her, looked at Jin, and looked down. Rolling her eyes, Rowena proceeded out the door, and out toward the elevator. Pressing her manicured fingernail to the button to call the elevator, she waited for Jin to follow.

Jin smiled as Rowena accepted his offer for training he was glad that he brought his bag full of weapons before arriving here he picked up the bad he brought along with him from where he placed it earlier and swung it over his shoulder so it would fit more comfortably he noticed the other girls starring at him and Rowena he simply smiled as he followed Rowena out the door of the hotel and towards the elevator. Jin closed the door behind him as he ran up to catch up with Rowena he smiled and pushed his glasses up to his nose as he waited for the lift doors to open. “How long has it been since you last trained?” Jin asked curiously as he walked into the lift when the doors opened; Jin pressed the roof button and leaned against the elevator wall as he waited it to reach the roof.

The doors to the elevator closed softly, as Rowena and Jin stood in there, with the ever-so-appropriate awkward elevator music playing. He asked her when she last trained, and she was daydreaming again. Snapping back, she went back into thought. When was it? She had been on non-stop missions before, and only trained when she wasn't with Buffy.
"Uhm. I zu beeleeve zat ze last time I trained vuz over a few months agu." Rowena said, with a heavier accent.
Simply thinking about a month without slaying really impressed Rowena that she had lasted that long. She was usually in it for the kill, and was always hungry for more. When she wasn't snapping their necks and beating them to a pulp, she enjoyed being ... valued. It was something that she worked hard at, and always loved impressing people.
The elevator reached the rooftop, and Rowena gently pressed her feet the floor, walking outside. A cold breeze went over her, but it did not shake her. Her mind was in another place. Her mind was in the fight. Smirking at Jin, she giggled a little bit. Perhaps even he didn't know what she was capable of.

Jin always hated the elevator music he sighed as the elevator slowly made its way to the roof as Jin leaned against the wall waiting for it to stop. Jin nodded in reply to Rowena as she told him when she last trained; he smiled when the elevator doors opened finally. Jin stepped out of the elevator and looked around he felt the cold breeze when Jin walked out. Jin smiled when Rowena giggled at him wondering what was funny though he pushed the thought to the back if his mind as he walked over to the far end of the roof he turned to face Rowena. Opening his bag up Jin took out a stake and threw it to Rowena. “We’ll start with the basics to get warmed up.” Jin explained as he moved into a defensive position. “First of you’ll charge and attack and I’ll defend. Start when ready.” Jin explained as he watched Rowena carefully.
