"She's a what?"
"A vampire slayer."
"This little china doll? You're kidding, right? And wait, that means vampires exist?"
Giles sighed in frustration and ran a hand through his hair.
"Look, doctor, you've been to many different worlds, correct? And you've seen anatomies that most people couldn't comprehend? Your ship's own first officer has green blood, does he not?"
"So you're saying I should - "
"Just think of vampires as a humanoid race who's metabolism has been modified to take nutrients from blood rather than food, yes."
McCoy sighed. "Fine, but that still doesn't explain what they're doing on earth."
Giles smiled slightly. "Think of the Hellmouth as an intergalactic portal, allowing beings from many different planets to arrive here. It may even be true for all we know."
"Fine. I'm a doctor, not a priest. I don't try to understand where these demons come from. But what does all that have to do with her?" the doctor asked, indicating the small form stretched out on the couch in front of them.
"Buffy is, as I said, a vampire slayer. She's been gifted with skills above and beyond what a human would normally possess - increased strength, quickened reflexes, accelerated healing, the usual things. She was in a fight two days ago and was hit with a beam of - something. Her own healing does not seem to be enough in this case. It is my hope that your advanced medicine will be - or can at least tell us what is wrong with her." Giles looked at the other man beseechingly. "Please, doctor, we need her more than you could possibly know. And right now she needs you."
McCoy took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Alright, let's see what we can find," he agreed, and knelt beside the prone girl.
Giles let out a sigh of relief. Now, at least, there was a chance.
