[Vampires have certain feelings that just grow when they lose their souls. Fear, for Spike, was one of them. Not his fear of other people, that was replaced by a cold hunger that allowed him to pillage his way through Europe without a shred of compassion for the lot of them.
But he understands the fear of being left in the dark. The fear of being hated and being alone. He understands it so well, blisteringly well, to the point where all his cruelties and slaughters and massacres were just a way to outrun that deep terror. So he just gently rubs circles in Power's back and holds her close.]
I've got your back, yeah? Doesn't matter what you need, you just gotta say the word. Just hope you know that.
