Sight Lost, Sight Found.

Chapter Three.

Back in Sunnydale.

Buffy, Dawn, Willow, Dinah and Helena were all boardine ple plane when Barbara called Helena with the news of Faith's capture.
The girls were all nervous, especially Helena who was sitting alone in the last row of seats when Buffy sat down beside her, "Hi. Can I sit down?"


"Sure." was Helena's only response.
Buffy sat down and took her time before she finally spoke, "I'm really not sure what to say here, but I feel like I should tell you a few things about Faith. First of all, she's a fighter. She is also a survivor. She's been through allot in her young life and she always manages to land on her feet. I know someone has taken her but what I also know is that if they wanted her dead she'd probably be dead by now. To me that says they took her for a reason and that gives us more time to find her."


Helena was listening to everything Buffy was saying and allot of it made sense dive ive her some hope, but it was hard thinking of that when so many horrible thoughts were going through her head about what they might be doing to Faith right now, "Thanks for saying all that. I know your right. I know they must want her for something, but we don't know what that is. We don't know who took her and it's really just hard being here when I know she's alone and scared right now."


"Even if Faith is scared she won't let them know it. She will be fine. We'll find her okay. I promise." Buffy said with the utmost confidence.
"I hope your right. I just found her. I can't lose her now." Helena lifted her head up and looked at Buffy, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't be talking about thi this with you."


"Why? It's okay. You need to get these feelings out so you can get focused on the job at hand."
"No, I mean, well, didn't you and Faith used to be close? I feel like there is unfinished business between you two. And I'm going on about her like this and I don't want to be insensitive about it."


Buffy smiled at Helena's concerns then looked her in the eye, "Please don't think that I'm jealous of what you two have. I'm not. I'm happy for Faith. And for you. What we had was in the past and I'm not sure we even know what it was. We were too young to figure it out. I do have feelings for Faith. I think I always will. She brings out the best and worst in me and I probably do the same for her. Right now I want to find her and get her eyesight back and then we will discuss what happened in the past."


"Okay, thank you for saying that. I just don't know what to do right now. I hate having no control over things. I feel so guilty that I left her there. It was so dumb. I should've brought her here instead. What was I thinking."
"Please stop thinking like that. You can beat yourself up over this or you can focus on how to get her back." Buffy tried to calm Helena down as best she could and after Helena finally broke down and cried and let it all out she was able to sit back and start thinking about what t whe when they got back to New Gotham.


Willow was fast asleep, while Dinah and Dawn were still up near the front of the plane, this time just sitting and talking as the mood was much different than before.
"Did you know Faith very well?" Dinah asked while sipping a glass of water and staring back at Dawn.


"No, I've never met her. I've heard allot about her though. Good and bad." Dawn took a drink of her water and continued, "I just don't know the whole story. Just that her and Buffy had a falling out and it got pretty serious. I know Buffy still cares about her though and in spite of it all she will help find her."


"So what is a slayer anyway? I'm not clear on this. Helena just came home and the next thing I knew I was on a plane to see you guys."
"Well, a slayer is someone is born with the ability to fight evil I guess. She has been fighting evil since she was 16. Killing vampires and demons and stopping sinister plots to destroy the world. It's pretty cool really. Except when she died that is." Dawn said the last part so calmly it barely registered how it might sound to someone else.
Dinah's face was contorted and she was beyond confused, but she knew she heard right and just didn't understand it, "Excuse me, she died?"


Dawn realized what she said and had to quickly try andlainlain it, "Oh god. That must sound so not possible to you. I don't get it myself, but she's died more than once. Last time it was for real and it took magic to bring her back. Magic that was so powerful it almost destroyed Willow's life and everyone else's along with it."
"Sounds like you live quite an interesting life." Dinah said with a slight smile.


Dawn smiled back, "Oh yes, it's never dull in Sunnydale." she then reached over and put her hand on Dinah's arm and let her hand slide up and over her shoulder, then leaned over and kissed her again.
Dinah responded by leaning in and putting her arms around Dawn and the two girls became tangled up in their two chairs and were all over each other when Buffy came strolling down the isle, stopping right beside Dawn's chair and tapping her on the shoulder.


Dawn spun around and saw Buffy and jumped back into her chair and Dinah did the same.
Buffy sat down beside Dawn and shook her head and let out a deep breath, "Didn't we discuss something before I agreed to let you come along?"
"Um, maybe. But, I thought you meant when we got to New Gotham. Were not really there yet, so you know, it's not really breaking the rules." Dawn managed to say that all with a straight face and even believed she had made a good point along the way.


"Very good Dawn. Your learning how to manipulate the truth and twist it into your own little stories. Well, it didn't work. You can go sit with Helena and I will sit here and keep Dinah company for the rest of the trip." Buffy stood up and waited for Dawn to get up and move back with Helena.
"But...." Dawn was about to make another attempt at an excuse when Buffy gave her a very serious look and she decided against it and slowly made her way to the back of the plane.


Dinah's eyes were following her as she walked, clearly focused on Dawn's very cute ass in her way too tight blue jeans. The smile on Dinah's face showed she liked what she saw, but as she turned and saw Buffy staring at her she quickly faced forward and then out the window, anything to avoid Buffy.


Buffy sat down beside Dinah and grabbed a book from her chair and opened it up and began reading for the rest of the flight.
The plane landed and once again Albert was there with the limo and he drove the girls back to where Barbara was waiting.


As they walked inside Helena saw Barbara working on her comlink, "What happened?"
"Something must have got messed up when they used that electrical device on my neck. Anyway, I think I've got it working again, but I wanted to show you the card that I assume was left by the people who took Faith."
Barbara handed Helena a business card that read, "Triglobal Technologies."


Helena knew she recognized that name from something and not soon after she looked at Barbara, "They are the company responsible for the disappearance of a number of meta humans over the past few years."
"That's right. And we've never been able get one piece of evidence against them." Barbara rummaged through her desk until she found a folder and handed it to Helena, "They are also known for their genetic experiments and cloning programs. The question is why did they leave a calling card? I'm pretty sure they aren't doing it to turn themselves in, so there has to be another reason."


Buffy walked over and stood beside Helena as she was looking through Barbara's file on Triglobal and was more than a little amazed at some of the things this company was linked to, "Wait, go back a page." she then pointed to an article, "What's this mean?"
Helena showed Barbara the article and Barbara clicked a few keys on her keyboard and soon had pulled up a large screen with some charts, graphs and a small map in the corner.


"Okay, from what we know this group targets a very specific group of meta humans. Focusing almost exclusively on those with enhanced strength or intelligence, leaving the rest of the meta humans untouched. This next part is a bit graphic so if you don't want to see some pretty gruesome pictures you should turn away now." Barbara said, then looked around the room and was mildly surprised that nobody took her up on her warning.


Dawn was used to allot of strange and bizarre things and Dinah had seen some equally nasty stuff since she began working with Barbara and Helena, but neither girl was prepared for what showed up on the screen.


"I do apologize for the some of these pictures, but to get a true understanding of what this group does to the meta humans it captures this is necessary." Barbara then put up some very graphic pictures of what was left of some of the meta humans who had been used as living guinea pigs, "This group works on live subjects. They find out what their specific power is then locate it's origin and copy the living DNA for cloning."


Helena was shocked and angered by the pictures on the screen, not believing anyone could do this to another living soul, but she tried to stay calm and focus on the job at hand, "Do we know why they only target a small group of meta humans?"


"Not yet. Aside from the basic theory they are trying to create smart killing machines, but I have a feeling it's much more elaborate than that." Barbara again moved back over to her desk and grabbed another large folder and wheeled back to the girls, "Now, we also learned that aside from doing their testing on live subjects, they not only steal the DNA from each meta human, but also every other organ they can use, as witnessed by these pictures."


The pictures were deeply disturbing and let everyone in the room justjust what they were up against.
Buffy grabbed the business card that was sitting on the edge of the desk, "Is there any way we can CSI this thing? Maybe get some fingerprints off it?"
Barbara smiled at Buffy's question, "Actually yes we can. Or more to the point, Reese can. He's on his way over to take this to the lab for analysis. We should know something by tonight."
"Alright then, I think Buffy and I should head over to Triglobal Technologies and have a look around." Helena said as she tapped Buffy's shoulder on her way out the door.


In a warehouse somewhere in New Gotham.


Faith was sitting tied to a chair in a well lit laboratory type room, with two people working on separate projects while paying no attention to her at all.
Less then five minutes later the same two people grabbed a handful of vials and left the room.


Faith was barely awake and kept slipping off to dreamland where she finally found something to smile about.
As she lie back and got comfortable everything began to change.


It was late one night and Faith was pacing back and forth in her fancy penthouse apartment. She was wearing a red leather mini top and matching red leather pants, very, very tight leather pants.
She was tapping her comlink calling out for Helena and there was no answer for the first couple minutes and Faith began to worry.


Finally Helena broke the silence, "Hey beautiful, you still there? This last little fight lasted a bit longer than I expected. The good news is I'm on my way. See ya soon."
Before Faith could respond Helena was long gone. So she started getting things ready for their big night.


Helena aed aed about 15 minutes after her last message and walked into the apartment and was in awe at one Faith had done with the place.
The lights were dim all around the outside of the main room, while the middle of the room had a table set for two, complete with candles, wine and wonderful meal and soft romantic music playing the background.


Helena was smiling like never before. Her eyes taking everything in as she moved closer to the table, still not seeing Faith anywhere.
That didn't last long as Faith walked slowly out from the bedroom and made her way towards a very happy Helena.


Faith put her arm around Helena's waist and pulled her close and kissed her softly, "You look even more beautiful than usual. I set out a little something I want you to put on for tonight. Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you."
Helena smiled and kissed Faith one more time then hurried off to the bedroom to see what was waiting for her.


Inside she saw a very sexy, yet elegant white evening gown hanging on in the middle of the closet and she ran and had a look at it and couldn't wait to put it on.
She ran into the shower and was finished in record time. She dried herself off and rushed over to the where the dress was hanging, picked it up and slid it over her sexy body and moved over to the large full length mirror on the wall.


It fit her perfectly. Like a glove it hung on every curve, showing off her sexy figure as well as her long slender legs.
Helena was very pleased with how she looked and turned and slowly walked back out to where Faith was waiting patiently.


Faith was sitting in a chair in the middle of room, a bright smile covering her pretty face and it only got brighter as Helena made her way towards her.
As Helena moved forward Faith stood up and met her half way. She took her hand and spun Helena around, admiring both Helena's beautiful dress as well as her pretty face. Faith then pulled her in close, "You look more beautiful than ever."


"Flattery will get you everywhere." Helena grinned, her fingers running through Faith's long dark hair.
Faith rubbed her hand up against Helena's arm and looked back into her eyes and as their eyes met they both leaned in for a kiss and the night they had both been waiting for had finally begun.


The beautiful dress Helena took so long to put on was ripped off in seconds and both girls took turns removing every sexy piece of leather Faith had on and soon were lying naked in each other's arms, kissing passionately and holding each other so tight.
Helena broke the kiss, but soon was kissing her way down Faith's neck, shoulders and down between her very full breasts which she cupped in both hands, running her fingers over Faith's already hard nipples before sliding her eager tongue over those same nipples.


With nothing holding her back Helena let her inhibitions go and began ravaging Faith like mad, cupping her breasts in her hands then licking and sucking her nipple deep into her mouth as she smiled down at Faith the whole time.


Faith was sliding her hand down Helena's back and could just reach her firm ass cheeks, which she quickly began to squeeze and caress before sliding a finger between her legs to rub her already damp pussy.


Helena let out a moan and smiled up at Faith, but soon had slid her body down between Faith's legs and kissed every inch of her creamy white thighs before licking her lips and planting a big kiss on her pussy
All's Faith could do was let out a soft moan and spread her legs wider and grab her breasts and was soon rubbing her own nipples as she watched Helena's tongue slide slowly over her pussy.


There was nothing but smiles on both girls pretty faces as Helena began to really move her tongue up and down Faith's pussy lips, searching out her clit and then devouring it with her tongue.


Faith's loud moans were the only sound in the room and they kept getting louder and louder as Helena was now licking her clit non stop as fast and as hard as she could. She then slid one of her long fingers inside Faith's now very wet pussy and slowly pushed it deep inside her. She began to move it back and forth and in and out with long, but hard thrusts as Faith screamed her approval by bucking her hips forward and tossing her head back and forth on the floor.


Every single time Faith reacted to Helena's touch it spurred her on and she would just lick her clit even faster and faster, moving her finger at the same exact speed until Faith was moaning and screaming and shaking as she had another very intense orgasm. Her body fell silent and Helena climbed up on top of her and kissed her softly and pushed the hair from her face and waited until Faith opened her eyes, "Hey there sexy. You look beautiful lying there."


Faith smiled back at Helena and got her bearings back, "You always look beautiful to me. Now, I think there's something I'd like to do for you." with that Faith flipped Helena onto her back and began kissing her deeply.
As Faith was about to kiss her way down Helena's naked body she was shaken back to reality and the fact she couldn't see a thing was proof it was all just a dream.


"Wake up. We have to move you. Now get up." said a man's voice as she felt more than one pair of hands on her shoulders trying to lift her to her feet.
"What's going on? Move me where? I don't even know why I'm here." Faith said hoping to get one of the bodyguard's to slip up and say something about where they were.


"Listen, just keep quiet and you'll stay alive." said the same voice as before, obviously not a very talkative man.
They dragged Faith down a hallway and through some more corridors and then into an elevator and she felt it going up and after a couple minutes it stopped and they pulled her off and down another hall and through some door and then pushed her down on a chair.


She heard some people leave and the door close behind her and then she heard someone flick a lighter and soon she smelled some very powerful cigar smoke and coughed at how strong the odor was.


"Does little Faith not like smoke?" another man's voice said to her in a highly mocking and patronizing tone, "Well, that's a shame really. Don't worry, you won't live long enough to get cancer so it's not a problem for you. Enjoy it. Embrace the smell, it's really quite extraordinary once you get used to it."


"That isn't going to happen. Why I'm here? Do what your gonna do and get it over with." Faith said with an irritated tone in her voice.
Faith heard the man get up from his chair and heard footsteps moving towards her and felt the man sit down on the desk directly in front of her, "Such tough talk from such a pretty lady. It's so sad you can't see me now, you'd see how impressed I am with your beauty."


"What makes you think I care?" Faith said loudly, her ears trying to listen for any sounds that might help her out of the mess she was in, "Face it, your just another nut job with some power fixation who probably wants to take over the world like all the rest. Oh and just a little question for ya, how many of the evil villains actually succeed dumb ass?"


The man let out a spontaneous laugh and hopped off the chair and walked behind Faith, "Ha, I love your spunk. Defiant to the end. Isn't that what all hero's are like? Well, no matter. What I have in mind is not world domination or even unlimited wealth. I already have a little of first and a whole lot of the wealth. No my dear, it's actually a rather small piece of the puzzle I'm after and your the one who will help me achieve it."


Faith felt the urge to roll her eyes at this nut, but was reminded once more of her unfortunate predicament, "Oh just stop yammering on and tell me who you are and what you want."
"You grow impatient do you?" he asked rhetorically, "I think it's a fair question though. My name is Gerald Montador, I'm the president and CEO of Triglobal Technologies. It's a multinational corporation with a wide variety of interests."


Faith shook her head, "Never head of you or your company so you can't be that big. Besides what does some business want with a blind girl anyway?"


The man once again got up and walked back to his desk and sat down and put out his cigar, "You disappoint me Faith. I know your not just any blind girl. I know your the slayer. I know your working with a very powerful meta human as well. The question I have is just how similar are slayers and meta humans. They have many of the same qualities and I'd like to study this more. Now that's where the sad part comes in. I can only do that by studying every inch of both of you.. I wish DNA were enough. I would love to spare you two beautiful young women if possible, but alas, it's not. Death is the only to achieve my goals. But don't fret, your deaths won't be in vain. Instead they will help create a new species that will be even more powerful than either a slayer or a meta human."


"Like that's gonna happen." Faith said with a laugh, "You may have me captured at the moment, but Helena isn't blind. She won't be so easy. Don't think we are in this alone. There are others who fight the good fight, so to speak, so I guess it's time for me to say the ultimate cliche, you'll never get away with this."


"Your humor is delightful." Gerard said with a hearty laugh, "I appreciate your strong will and how you try so hard to laugh in the face of danger. A noble attempt, but fear is, well I was going to say in your eyes, but how rude of me, but it's still on your face and you can't hide it. As for your pretty little friend, I've all but got her captured to. I have no doubt she's going to be looking for you and when she comes here, it's all over."


"Don't count on it. Does anything ever go according to plan? Once maybe, but twice? Not likely. I know it's sounds insane to say and probably not something you want to consider, but if you let me go you at least have time to plot your escape. Leave the country. Start over somewhere." Faith then up aup and leaned over his desk and was face to face with him, "Or else your gonna go bye bye for a very long time. I don't see you doing all that well in prison."


The man's face turned to anger in a hurry and he slammed his hand down on his desk, "That's enough. You bore me. Take her away. Remember, at the first sign of trouble kill her."
Faith felt some hands on her arms and soon she was being dragged away, but she turned her head to face the man one last time, "I'll probably miss the moment Helena takes you out, but you are going down so start imagining life in prison orange overalls and see how that works for ya."
