The Looking Glass (Part 10)

Chapter 10
Buffy Summers came out of the vortex behind Michael. She had been
expecting, a little more... hellish. She sighed //I’ll probably connect
portal with hell for the rest of my life, gotta stop thinking about it.//
They ended up on the carpeted floor of a stylishly decorated apartment.
It looked pretty normal, maybe a bit more modern than the average
apartment.
Buffy took stock. Nikita was unconscious on the floor, Michael was
bending over her, Spike was just coming out of the vortex and there was a
strange blond woman in the corner. Buffy took a closer look at her. She
was about 5.5 small build, blond... but there was something awfully
familiar about her and something in the far corner of her mind was
nagging at her.
Buffy turned away from the woman and looked at Nikita’s prone form.
Michael turned to look at her.
“She’s alive, but barely”
The blond woman finally entered the room. “She’ll be fine in couple
days. The vortex drained her energy. Madeline didn’t send you, did she?”
Michael finally took notice of her. His eyes flitted back to Buffy than
to the woman. She shook her head slightly and he seemed to understand
which left Buffy confused.
“You know Madeline” was the first thing he said
“Madeline is the caretaker of the link between these dimensions from
Dimension B. You’ve landed in Dimension A and I am the caretaker of the
link from here. My name is Anne.”
Michael began to introduce the group but she stopped him. “I know who
you are. In this dimension everything that is reality in your dimension
is fiction here. In my reality you are just a character on a TV show
about an anti-terrorist group called Section One. And you” she said
turning to Buffy “are a character on a TV show called “Buffy the Vampire
Slayer”
As the three tried to absorb this, Anne took charge. “ Bring Nikita into
the bedroom, I’m going to contact Madeline”
Michael stopped her “If what you are telling us is true, then how can you
have communication through Dimensions”
Anne pointed to a screen on her wall “a few year ago, a caretaker from
Dimension D, where the year is now 2058, found a way to feed
communication cables through tiny wholes in the separators between
Dimensions. That way we don’t have to wait a year to communicate again.
I don’t however, use this communication unless it is an emergency.
Dimension B is 20 years behind this Dimension and so any contact with
that dimension could cause paradoxes which it is my job to prevent.”
