Title: A Big Place 75/100 TtH Prompt: #46 Universe Summary: A small conversation in Buffy’s office. A Big Place Daniel looked up from his papers as he entered Buffy’s office. His question died on his lips as he saw Buffy staring absently into space. “Hey, you okay?” He softly asked, shutting the door behind him. “Just thinking,” she said, swiveling her chair to look at him. “About what?” He asked, managing to find another chair clean enough to sit in. “Stuff,” she said vaguely. “What kind of stuff?” Buffy sighed as she recognized Daniel’s own version of Willow’s resolve face. She knew she’d tell him eventually so she decided to save them both some time and answer him now. “Before I became the slayer, I kind of lived in this tiny box that was all about me. Then I was called and I started thinking more global and about others. It wasn’t until then that I started wondering if there was something or someone watching over us. That I was part of their plan of … safety for lack of a better word.” “And now?” “Now, there’s a whole universe worth of people. So many places I can’t be. How can there be ‘ascended beings’ if they aren’t doing anything to help or protect them?” Daniel sighed and carefully thought over his answer before speaking. “I don’t really have an answer for you. I’d like to think there is a plan. Maybe there’s something beyond the ascended watching over us. Making sure that in the end, everything works out for everyone in the universe.” “The universe is awfully big.” “Which just means we need to make sure we do our part then,” Daniel said with a small smile.
