Challenge: #41 - Supernatural Title
Crossover: Bones
Summary: Willow and Angela reconstruct a face that seems to cause bugs in the Angelator's programming. Only things aren't what they appear.
Notes: Set in my slightly AU season 5 Angelverse. 5th in the "Willow, the Squint" subseries.
It was Monday morning at the Jeffersonian and the Squint squad was had at work on the latest case. Special Agent Seeley Booth had already been by with a skeleton and Angela Montenegro had taken the necessary measurements for her computer program. She and her apprentice Willow Rosenberg sat staring at the results.
"This just can not be," Angela said. "There must be a bug in the programming."
Willow hoped that her boss was right, but feared that it was not true. She was very much afraid that her past was about to interrupt her present. She had thought she had left the Hellmouth behind when Sunnydale had collapsed, but there in 3D was the proof that she was never going to escape the minions of Hell. Angela's shock was the result of apparent horns growing on either side of the skeleton's forehead. Willow had suspected at once that the victim was a Pylean, like Angel's friend Lorne. Angela had shut down the simulation and was running through the programming code line by line.
"I need to speak with Dr. Brennan for moment, if you can spare me," Willow finally said.
"Sure, I think I can manage this by myself," Angela replied. As Willow left Angela's work area, she heard, "I just don't get it."
Willow walked down the hall to Brennan's office. She knocked on the open door. Brennan called out for her to enter, and when Willow entered she found that the Forensic Anthropologist was not alone; her partner the FBI Agent was with her. Willow didn't mind, as she needed to speak to them both.
"Agent Booth, Dr. Brennan, we may have a problem." Willow said as she sat on Brennan's couch facing Brennan, who was sitting at her desk, and Booth, who was perched on the desk's corner.
"What kind of problem?" inquired Booth.
"The kind that requires calls to LA and Vegas," Willow answered.
"That kind of problem," Booth grumbled. "So what is it? A vampire?"
"No, those turn to dust. Well, except for the Master ,and Buffy ground his bones to dust with a sledgehammer six years ago," Willow replied. "No, this one is a Pylean."
" A what?" Brennan asked.
"A Pylean. You remember Lorne, don't you, Agent Booth?" Willow teased.
"Yeah, I remember Lorne. Thank you for reminding me," he teased back.
"Lorne is Pylean. Angela is convinced that the horns are a bug in her programming, so she is going over every line of the Angelator's programming trying to find it. I think she needs to be told, but it is not my place. I'm just her apprentice and not in any position to tell her," Willow explained.
"I'll do it. I'm her boss," Brennan said, then got up to do just that. "Booth, why don't you call LA and Vegas?" Brennan left the room not waiting for a reply.
"Sure, I'll do that," Booth answered to the room in general, then he appeared to remember that Willow was still there. "That is, unless you want to call Buffy yourself?" He flashed the "charm smile" at her.
"Normally, I'd love to talk to Buffy, but I think this needs to be an official call. Like I said, I'm just and apprentice," Willow answered with a smirk.
As she got up to leave, Booth sighed and pulled out his cell. She walked out the door as she heard him make the call to LA.
