WHO || Buffy, Alainn, Rose, Sam, Dean, Faith, Felicity, Isabella [closed]
WHAT || The Ex-Knights of Failboat head off to interrupt an auction for Rafael Giovanni's life...
WHERE || New Orleans, LA
WHEN || A couple weeks post-LA
HOW || Actionspam
Held in the grasp of the Knighthood's enemies for a stretch of time that has been an aching splinter in the heart of the ones who love him, Rafael Giovanni's life now stands up for auction. Having made a number of powerful enemies in his days as the vigilante assassin The Black Scourge, including the secret Vatican police known as Iscariot, Draken Crombe's organization sought to capitalize on the many who sought revenge by sending out word that Eterna Jade was not, as his trial had seemed to prove, the Black Scourge at all, and offer the chance to kill or torture Giovanni to whoever would pay the largest sum.
The Knights, being made aware of this, did what they could to stymie this auction from coming to pass, and Buffy Summer and Jack Chessing managed to at least thwart it several times, leading to its cancellation and inevitable rescheduling elsewhere. However, none of this led to Giovanni's actual location.
The capture of Draken Crombe finally allowed them to learn of the latest plans for the auction - to be held at a location in New Orleans, a temple of some sort. It seems that Crombe's other followers still intend to follow through with ridding themselves of Rafael, making it clear that even with Crombe in Knights' custody, the villains still have some organization or leadership. Tia Ellison rattled out the plan by invading Crombe's mind, learning of the way that he had been psychically manipulated by the Mind Master for years, and doing what she could to start to heal his shattered psyche.
Jack Chessing, eager to see Rafael rescued after their many efforts, cautioned however against sending too many on what might be a mission from which there is no returning. To that end, they've tried to split the forces of their magic-users, fighters, and researchers.
Now, it's up to a few to save their friend... without losing any more.

She was probably the only reason they were here now, together, at all.
When Dean had said that he couldn't imagine a life without her in it, didn't want to, Sam realized that he didn't want to either. It wouldn't feel right.
He hugs her back, realizing easily that this is...a big fucking deal (sense motive 36 i'm dying ma). He releases her as she pulls away, and with a killer will save, he keeps his emotions in check, gesturing for the door.]
I'll take care of things here. We'll see you soon.

It's probably barely more than a second or two, but so much can be said without words at all and it's there, in the way her mouth tightens, her eyes crinkle and shine as emotion physically ripples across her features.
It's not just that she's marrying Dean. It's not just that he's becoming her family. It's that they both are. Sam being around, it isn't a burden she has to bear because she loves Dean. Sam is a part of why she loves him and while she wishes she could just say that? The lump in her throat makes speech near impossible, Rose only just managing to push out a choked acknowledgment before she leaves.]
Thank you.
[ And it's clear, she means for so much more than just this.]

[For more reasons than he can possibly explain out loud, but she knows them all and he knows he doesn't have to say them. They've come a long way, and while they may just be starting to really get to know each other in an honest and open way, Sam also knows that she gets him in the ways that really matter.
They're on the same team. They want the same things. They'll fight anyone who tries to mess with that.]
...but you're welcome.
