Spike woke up and the first thing he noticed was everything was pitch black. He tried to remember what happened and found that he couldn't. He sat up and leaned against the wall. A few minutes later Spike heard footsteps coming towards him. He flinched as he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Spike?"

Spike immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

"Red?"

"Yeah, it's me."

"Mind telling a fellow what happened?"

"I was hoping you could tell me."

"Sorry to disappoint luv."

Willow noticed Spike wasn't looking at her almost like he couldn't see her. Willow put a hand on Spike's cheek so he was looking at her, Spike let the hand guide his face to where he assumed he would be looking at her but it was still dark.

"Spike, can you see me?"

"No."

"There are really bad burns around your eyes and parts of your face. I wasn't able to check and see if you had any others anywhere else."

It took Spike a moment to process what she said and after a realizing what she said about the burns he realized that was probably why he couldn't see, whatever happened must have damaged his eyes. Spike leaned away from the wall and started to shrug off his duster as he had realized he still had it on. He stopped when he felt his coat tugging at his skin.

"Well, this isn't going to be fun."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean; I think whatever burned me must have done a bloody good job because."

Instead of finishing his sentence he gently tugged at his duster and as he heard Willow gasp he knew she must have seen what he meant.

"Don't pull it any farther, I'll be right back."

Spike heard Willow leave the room and return a couple minutes later. She set something down on the bed.

"By pulling the leather away from the skin it's stuck to its causing the skin to bleed. And before you say anything, I know you're a vampire and it won't kill you but it has to hurt."

"I've had worse."

Willow sat next to him and Spike felt her hands on his arm. He then felt her wrap something around his arm that he could only guess was gauze. Spike figured Willow was giving him a confused look so he continued.

"It was after I got my soul, long story short, Red, I tried to help some kids from a demon and ended up on fire with no help."

"Ok, I know you've done some pretty evil and nasty things but even you don't deserve that."

"At that point, I felt like I deserved it."

As Spike continued to take off his duster, Willow continued to bandage the burns after putting some antiseptic on them. Spike may not be human but it helped her to do it.

"Where are we anyway?"

"London."

"Well sure as hell didn't expect that, figured I was still in L.A."

"You don't know how you got here, do you?"

"No, I don't"
