Pairings: Dawn/Sam; Dean/Faith;

Rating: Pg-13 maybe R later

Summary: Buffy sends Dawn, Faith, and Talia to help the Winchester boys when the covenant that helped with the potentials lets her know of what they are doing. Dawn has watcher duties, but also trains with Faith so she can take care of herself.

Disclaimer: I do own anything except the character Talia

Author's Note: Buffy will be in this story, but very minimal. This story is more about Dawn and Faith. For those who've read my other stories, you'll recognize Talia. She's the one in "Hart of L.A." Comments and Reviews are always appreciated! Angel's group and Spike will also make an appearance, probably be a fixture after some point.

Warning: Timeline's may not be right. No one died from the Angel Gang...Fred is still Fred and no one died but Cordelia. Season 5 sort of happened, but he left before it got too bad.




Prologue

Dawn was more than a little upset with her sister. She was tired of being summoned and treated like a newbie when she'd been there longer then all of the girls. Sure, she wasn't alive for most of the "scoobie deal" but she still knew more about what was going on then the recruits as she called them. She was walking up to her sister's corridor of the mansion they were at. They were living in Rome and they hardly ever got to go sightseeing. They were stuck in this mansion training and teaching the potentials. She herself had been training with Giles to become a watcher, and Faith had taken it upon herself to train her in combat. Buffy trained her some, but she was more worried with the other girls. She hated that she was unappreciated. She knew that her sister loved her, but she never talked to her like an adult. She was twenty years old now, and everyone still treated her like she was fifteen. She saw Xander wave at her as she passed and she smiled politely at him. She'd always have a special place for Xander because he'd always been there for her, and he sort of knew what she was going through. She didn't have time to have social life like normal girls her age; no she was learning how to defeat monsters and how to defend for her life. When she got to the door, she was tempted not to go. She shook her head and knocked on the door. She heard an immediate commotion and Buffy swung open the door. Dawn was taken aback because her sister looked to be very upset and then she noticed Talia and Faith. Faith had the same face of disdain. Her sister and Faith would never get along. She walked in the room and took the seat next to Talia who looked extremely uncomfortable. When Buffy came back in the room she motioned for Faith to take a seat and she began one of her famous speeches...or so Dawn thought.

"Dawn, Faith told me that she's been training you daily in 

hand to hand. Is that true?" Dawn quickly looked over at Faith and she winked at her. Dawn turned her attention back to her sister.

"It just sort of happened, but yeah." Buffy nodded.



"Giles will be here in a minute so we can officially begin our meeting. Faith says that you have a natural ability and that you've become very good." She looked over at Faith with a big smile.

"Really, I kind of felt like I sucked." Faith chuckled.

"We'll keep training, but you've improved so much. You're better than most of the girls who've been here for six months or less, and they've got the slayer mojo working for them and you don't." Dawn continued to smile as Giles entered the room looking grave as usual. He stood next to Buffy instead of taking a seat and addressed everyone.

"The coven of witches that was helping Willow and myself told us about the potentials, have just called us today. They have news about two brothers who are traveling from city to city fighting different kinds of evil. We're not sure why they're doing this, but they are human and they've been doing it for a long time. One of the elder seers of the coven told us that they are going to be very important in the future. One of them is getting psychic images and abilities, and they need help. They may not like the intrusion, but the three of you are going to help them. Faith is an elder Slayer, and we cannot afford to send Buffy. Talia, you've surpassed so many of the other girls, your abilities rival that of Faith's. Dawn, I spoke with Faith about you going and she agreed with me. You've been very good in your watcher training and I believe you're ready. Faith and Talia will report to you and you will report to me remotely. You're to keep training with Faith, so you can keep 

up your strength and abilities. Buffy doesn't agree with this decision, but you're a very capable young woman." Everyone was looking at Dawn and she didn't know what to do. She looked over at her sister who was smiling wryly at her.

"You don't think I can do it?" Buffy sighed.

"Dawn, I have no doubt that you can handle this, but I'm your sister first. So, naturally I'm worried." Dawn smiled.

"You're really worried about me?" Buffy gave her a funny look.



"What kind of question is that? Of course I'm worried about you, Dawn, you are my sister." Dawn smiled and then realized what this meant.

"What do you mean they will report to me, Giles? I haven't even finished all of the books; I mean...what if do a horrible job?" Giles smiled.

"You'll do just fine, Dawn. Faith will help you and I'm only a phone call away." Dawn took a deep breath.

"So where are we going?" Giles cleared his throat.

"Right now the two of them are in Hartford, CT. They're hunting a werewolf, and you have to get there before they kill it. This isn't a demon, it is a person. They may not realize that." Faith and Talia nodded, but Dawn just sat there. Buffy cocked her head to examine her sister.

"You okay, Dawn?" She whipped her head around to look at her.

"Oh yea, I'm fine. I'm just...we're going to Connecticut? I mean...its Connecticut." This got a chuckle from everyone, and Giles rolled his eyes as he looked at Buffy.

"She is truly your sister." Buffy smirked at him as she stood up.

"Okay guys, you're leaving first thing in the morning, so you need to get packed and get some sleep. There will be a car waiting for you at the airport; you guys can fight over who gets to drive."
