A/N: I changed to storyline in "Philadelphia" It doesn't happen the way it happens in the episode. After Liv messes up the stakeout when she's on the phone with Simon's girlfriend, she doesn't talk to Cragen until after she finds out that Simon has raped a woman. Right after the stakeout Liv goes to meet Simon's girlfriend at the café but instead of Simon showing up no one does. She goes home and just like in the episode Simon meets her there.

Law & Order:SVU- Takes place during "Philadelphia" after Liv find out from the New Jersey police that Simon has raped a woman..

Buffy- Takes place after "Chosen".

"Buffy, she has proven herself to us." Giles said walking into his new office at the New Watchers Headquarters in London.

"Just because she had one good fight doesn't mean that she has proven herself. I'm not saying we take her powers away permanently. I'm just saying until she has proven herself.." Buffy said. "Look, Giles even she doesn't truly believe she is reformed." Buffy quickly added on when she saw that Giles still looked skeptical of the idea.

"She really feels that way" Giles asked, taking his glasses off. Buffy nodded her head in the affirmative. "I really wish she would have talked to me. Well then I guess it's imperative that we do this. And before she hurts someone or her self." Giles turned to look at the other occupants of the office; Willow, Kennedy, Dawn and Xander. "Willow how soon can you perform the spell?"

"You got to be kidding me." Kennedy said standing up. "Faith would not want to take her powers away. Her powers are who she is. It's a part of her."

"And that's exactly why we have to do this." Buffy said getting into Kennedy's face. " She needs to learn how to live her life without being able to rely on her powers." And just like that Buffy shut Kennedy down and drew Giles, Willow, and Xander back under her spell. Kennedy and Dawn exchanged glances from across the room. They both knew that this wasn't a good idea, but they both feared going against Buffy, especially when no one would believe them.

Elliot walked into the cribs. Olivia was sitting on the back bunk with her back to the door.

"You wanna tell me why I just put my ass on the live for you again!"

"Elliot, I'm sorry." Olivia whispered as she turned to face Elliot. Elliot opened his mouth to yell at Olivia, but stopped when he saw tears in her eyes.

"Liv, what's going on?" Elliot asked, sitting behind her and wrapping her in a hug.

"It seems opportunity presented itself to Simon. Yesterday after the stakeout, Simon came to my place and we talked till about 3 in the morning then he left and raped a woman in New Jersey. Like father, like son." Olivia said, finally letting her tear spill over.

"Oh Liv, I know you think that because your father's a rapist and your mother was an alcoholic, that you're predestined to be violent or like them in some way, and just because your brother is like your father doesn't mean you are. You don't have a violent bone in your body." Elliot said hugging Liv tighter.

"And if a man who is a rapist fathers three kids, what are the chances of one of them being good? Not very high, El."

"Wait three, I thought you only had a brother?" Elliot asked very confused. Olivia handed him a piece of paper, that Elliot didn't notice she had in her hands. "What's this?" He asked taking the paper from her. "You have a sister?" Elliot asked looking up from the paper.
