Drabbles: Numero Cincon and Illyria

Number 6 and 7 of the 100 Whedon character drabbles I'm doing. If you want to you can suggest what character you want me to write for next.

“My company would like to offer you a job. A young man of your skills would be an asset.”

Numero Cinco knew of Wolfram and Hart. He no longer cared about the people they hurt, for they no longer cared about him or his brothers. Their victories had been forgotten over the years.

He took the job because he was no longer a hero, because being a hero wasn’t simply about being brave and risking one's life. It was about having hope, that one day you might conquer all of the evil. It was hopeless and naïve; it was heroic.

LA was a flame, a muddle of smoke and screams. Spike and Illyria stood on a rooftop. Only them left in the middle of an apocalypse.

“This can’t be bloody happening.”

“There are scores of occurrences that should not be,” Illyria pointed out. “There is no longer a balance. One force will become the dominant.”

Spike turned to leave.

“You will not abandon me. All walls are tumbling, Wesley was right. This must be what they wished not to see.” She tilted her head upwards letting the rain slice along her face.

“This kingdom is lost to us.”

“Rome, then.”

Walls was a well written drabble, you captured Illyria perfectly. I was wondering if you could do a Lorne drabble? Or a Cordy one? Either would be great.

I'm glad you enjoyed the Illyria drabble I wasn’t sure if I'd be able to write for her. I'll try and write a drabble for both of them.
