A New Mission….
Six months two days and around three hours, that's how long since the battle with the first. Faith snorts to herself, this was the longest she'd stayed put by far. However, it wasn't like she had to run off either. She falls down on the couch in the living room, looking out the window and wondering just exactly what was gonna happen next. "Thought you were training the girls." Dawn says.
Faith looks up at the teenager, "Nope, B's got it covered today. What about you? Ant you got this crazy thing called school?"
Dawn shrugs, "Let us out early."
Faith raises an eye brow, but doesn't say anything. Instead she turns back to the window, something's brewing and she can't put her finger on it. "Faith, we're all meeting." Willow says popping her head in.
Faith gives another long sigh, before getting up and heading to the other room. "Sup?" she asks to the room in general.
"Trouble unfortunately. It would appear as though our vacation is over." Giles says cleaning his glasses.
"Couldn't last forever." Buffy says.
"Guess not." Faith says, leaning against the wall.
"There's a hellmouth in ruel Kentucky. It's been over active to say the least. They can no longer handle it on their own." Giles says.
"Not so bad." Faith says, "We go, help out..."
"Actually, we were informed just about an hour ago, that there's not actually trained Slayers there. The ones that are there are very under equipped and under manned. I think it's quiet possible we need to take over this base of organization. Train the girls there." Giles says.
Faith smirks, "Ready to get rid of me?"
"It's totally you're choice, but we know you're itching to get outta here." Willow says.
"We just think keeping you cooped up here is...well not a good thing. You don't do well cooped up." Buffy says.
Faith nods, "Right. So ya'll gonna send me out there to cause a little trouble."
"We prefer if you don't cause trouble actually," Xander says.
"Gotta cause a little. And yeah, I cooled my jets here long enough, time to get back to fighting." Faith says.
"There's four girls there, that would be under your supervision." Giles says.
Faith nods. "Whenem I leaving?"
"As soon as possible if that's okay with you." Giles says.
"Sounds like a party." Faith grins, "Guess I should get packen." She says heading off toward her bedroom.
"I hope we're doing the right thing." Buffy says.
"I assure you if anybody can control these girls, it'll be Faith." Giles says.
Faith pulls up in front of the two story house. It's not a fancy house, but then again when did Faith really need fancy? It appears pretty well kept over all. She climbs out of her SUV and moves to grab her bags. She notices a young girl, about 18 standing arms folded across her chest. Her stance is threatening and Faith can see her eyes are narrowed. Behind her stand three other girls, who all look younger. 'Guess they're the welcoming party' Faith thinks. Quickly while she gathers her stuff she surveys them, noting that she can probably take them if need be. Although, that is a last resort. Throwing the strap of one of her duffel bags over her shoulder and carrying the other by it's handles she makes her way to them. "Name?" the first girl demands.
"Scoobie doo and you?" Faith says raising an eye brow.
One of the younger girls moves forward but the leader holds her arm out, "Back off Becky." she says, turning the attention back to Faith, "That's not the right answer." she says.
"Not much for right answer." Faith says.
The young girls looks Faith over ounce more. "Giles said you'd be a smart ass."
"Well, G man got that right, know you gonna let me in or not?" Faith asks.
Again Becky steps forward only to be stopped by the leader, "Back the hell up or I'll kick your ass, she's cool."
"How would you know?" Becky asks, hands on her hips.
"Because she new the password dimwit." The leader says.
"Stop calling her a dimwit, she cried for two hours last time!" another girl says. "And it's nice to meet you, you'll excuse Alexis here, she's a bit, destructive."
"I'm not destructive, I saved your ass yesterday didn't I?" Alexis glares at the other girl.
'What the hell have I got myself into?' Faith thinks. "Okay girls, as much as I would love to see a cat fight, could I at least put my bags down?" Faith says.
"This way Ms. Lehane. I'm Megan by the way." The blond says guilding Faith around Alexis.
"Oh no kid, call me Faith, I ant here to be all adult and shit." Faith says.
Megan shows Faith to a bedroom downstairs. It's got an older looking four post full size bed, two large windows, a mantle piece, small closet, dresser and chair. Not overly furnished but it was more then enough for Faith. "Thanks," she says, "So what's the deal?" she asks looking over the blond. She's small, sweet smile, obvious works out because she's tanned and toned. Buffy is the first person to jump to mind, except this girls eyes are blue, and her hair is midways of her back.
"Alexis had a hard family life. We all did, so ounce we were called, we joined up. None of us new what to do, just that there was evil to fight. Been together about four months or so." Megan says, "And you?"
Faith laughs, "I'm not something you need to know about."
Megan shrugs, "Okay then. If Lexi trust you, you'll do doubt get along with us all."
Faith raises an eye brow, "Hard ass?"
"She's protective, especially of the younger ones." Megan says.
"Just how old are you?" Faith asks.
"Sixteen, Becky's fourteen, Amber is seventeen, and Alexis, or Lexi as we call her is nineteen." Megan says.
"Becky she's the one ready to beat my ass?" Faith sets down on the bed. As long as the girls ready to talk, she might as well let her.
"Right, thick black hair. She acts big and bad, being the youngest. But over all she's a softy. Amber was the other blond. Strawberry blond to be more technical, she's the quiet one. Won't have any trouble outta her. Lexi, the redhead. She's a fire ball as they say. She'll give you trouble for sure, you're walking on her territory, however, she'll most likely keep it in check. Giles said you might be tired ounce you arrived." Megan says.
"Naw, wired actually." Faith says.
Lexi appears in the doorway, "Training know Meg, let her alone."
Megan rolls her eyes, "Alway train train train."
"Training is out only defense, know get dressed in the yard in ten minutes. Tell the other girls too." Lexi says, "I want a minute with our guest."
"Be nice!" Megan says before leaving.
Lexi lets her get out of ear shot, "I hope you aren't thinking you're welcome around here, cause I can assure you, I welcome only those that are needed."
"Yo kid, slow ya roll. I ant here to be all adult and shit, I'm here to help out." Faith says.
"The only reason you are here, I that hear you're the best Faith. And the only thing I need is another fighter. Whatever is brewing is bad, and I know it. I'm not stupid enough to turn away the help, but these girls have been through hell." Lexi says.
"Mind if I watch training?" Faith asks.
"Knock yourself out," Lexi says.
Faith raises an eye brow as Lexi makes her way out of the room, "Interesting choice of words." She makes her way out of the room and into the backyard where the girls are. She leans against the post on the porch arms folded across her chest watching them sparing together. Becky is sparing with Megan. Becky's blocks are really good, although she holds back on her punches. She's got strength, but she's gotta learn how to control her punches. Her kicks are right on though. She's got the lower body strength for sure. Megan however doesn't hold back, she's got totally upper body. And she's flexible too. She doesn't attempt blocks for the first few punches, however ounce she's been hit a couple times she grabs Becky's wrist twisting it gently. Over all they are good at matching together. They could complete each other in battle. 'Not bad at all' Faith thinks. Her attention then turns to Amber and Lexi. Amber has put her strawberry blond hair in a messy pony tail. She's thin, and tall. Her aim is just a little off. Her blocks are spot on and she is very flexible. Flipping over Lexi with ease. She's got the strength in her legs. Leaning back on her hands she ducks Lexi's kick, flipping onto her hands she grabs Lexi by the neck with her legs. 'This girls good' Faith thinks. But Lexi grabs her legs flipping her over, so that Amber goes head over heals. Lexi then sends several punches, quick, concise and agitated. She's by far the best of the fighters. Rounding on Amber and kicking her in the face, she's holding back Faith can tell, however it still was hard enough to knock the other girl to her knees. Lexi steps back, looking up at Faith "Wanna give it a go?"
Faith raises an eye brow, "You mean spar?"
"Are you to good to spar?" Lexi asks.
Faith smiles, "I'm better then you."
"Prove it, no holds bar. You win I leave you alone, no trouble. I win, we'll see." Lexi says.
"Lexi!" Amber hisses, "you can't do that, she's had the training."
"You saying you're not dying to see somebody kick my ass?" Lexi says. "Come on, we won't hurt each other if that makes ya'll softies feel better."
"She's right, we won't hurt each other, just show her a few moves." Faith says.
"Hurt her and we all kick you ass." Becky says.
"Look, if she kicks my ass, I'll be the one to kick her ass." Lexi says, "Know on the porch all of you, and watch. Watch the moves, maybe pick up a few."
Faith moves to stand in front of Lexi. She'll hold back for sure, but hey, if this kid wants to get her ass kicked who's she to say no? Lexi squares off with her, throwing the first punch which Faith easily ducks, grabbing the girls wrist she turns her around. Lexi head buts Faith causing her to let go, then gives a swift kick to the stomach. Faith quickly recovers delivering a punch to Lexi's jaw. Lexi stumbles back slightly, but comes back with an upper cut to Faith's left jaw. Faith turns kicking her, but Lexi catches her foot, flipping her. She lands on her feet, and quickly kicks Lexi in the stomach. So maybe holding back isn't gonna work out so well. Lexi jumps into the air kicking Faith in the face, Faith steps backwards, and goes to kick Lexi but she ducks it, catching Faith's leg ounce more, Faith goes down, but trips Lexi. Out of breath both girls lay on the ground.
Megan comes to stand over them arms folded, "Got it out of your system?"
Lexi gets to her feet, helping Faith up as well, "Had to know she could handle herself."
"She's a Slayer, course she can handle herself." Amber says.
"Don't mean much." Lexi says dusting the mud off.
"So she's cool?" Becky asks.
"For know." Lexi says. "Know lets get inside. Show her how we run things."
Faith follows the girls inside, damn that girl can fight. Slowly they gather in the living room. "Okay, here's how we run things. I take one maybe two girls with me on patrol, but I can't take them all. There's a nest of vamps little ways up that likes to break in and steal stuff, don't know how they're getting in, woulda dusted them, but can't catchem home. Buncha scardy cats really. There's a cemetery about a mile up, always something going on there. Then there's another spot about a mile the other way, never know what you're gonna find there. Get some strays coming outta portals everywhere. Over all we cover about four miles a night, you up for that?" Lexi says.
"Sure, but I thought ya'll didn't know anything about this Slaying thing." Faith says.
"Mom was a Slayers kid, her mom trained her, and she trained me. Been doing it since I was little, course momma like to practice, mostly on my face." Lexi says, "But I'm sure Megan's told you all about that."
"Hey!" Megan looks outraged, "I didn't tell her anything!"
"You told it all, or at least a good part of it." Lexi says, "Just like Giles told ya to."
"How do ya'll know Giles?" Faith asks.
"Lets just say we know each other." Lexi says. "Know, as far as money goes, there's enough. I gotta trust fund, keeps us going. May not be livin the big life, but it's enough for us."
"So we gonna take her patrolling tonight?" Becky asks.
"I'm gonna take her, ya'll are gonna stay here. Don't argue about it either. I wanna see what's she's got out there and the last thing we need is somebody under our feet. You'll go tomorrow more then likely." Lexi says, "Know, last night we run into another demon we're not sure what. We killed it but there's a good chance if there's one then there's more."
"What'd it look like?" Faith asks.
"Big, hairy, ugly." Amber says,
"Werewolf?" Faith asks.
"Naw, she failed to mention it walked upright, could talk and had a horn. Not a Werewolf, but some variation there of perhaps." Lexi gets a book out, "I sketched it."
Faith takes the sketch looking it over, "Looks like a Ramperforn, wicked bitches."
"We snapped it's neck." Lexi says.
"Killed it then." Faith says.
"Right, then we set it on fire so there's no way it's coming back, but like I said wouldn't be surprised to find more." Lexi says.
Just then a young man comes strolling in. He obviously works out, he's hot. Tanned, toned, about Faith's height, all muscle, black hair cut buzz style. "Hey," he says, his voice deep.
Lexi turns toward him, "Jackson," she says, "What are you doing here?"
"Came to see my favorite girl, thought maybe you could slip away?" He moves toward her.
Lexi rolls her eyes, "Meet Faith." she points toward Faith, who's busy checking out Jackson's ass. "And for the record, that ass is mine."
"I can respect that." Faith says, "Nice to meet ya."
Jackson moves behind Lexi putting his arms around her, "So she's the big bad Slayer."
"Yeah, ya scared? Gonna hide behind me?" Lexi asks.
"I ant scared of anything." He moves her hair kisses her neck, "Sept maybe you."
Lexi laughs, "Good answer comando. I think meetings over, ya'll can show Faith around and make sure she's settled. I'm gonna go down by the creek."
"So you can make out in piece?" Becky asks.
"Oh I'm sure there'll be make out, no promises that's where it ends." Lexi smirks.
Six weeks pass without Faith and Lexi killing each other. There's were bruises the first few days, but most of them were from demons. Which there wasn't a shortage of. There's wasn't a shortage of Jackson either. It was soon discovered that Megan dabled in the magics. Faith was surprised when she set the table cloth on the dinning room table on fire. Slowly Faith began to make a dent in training and such. She tried not to be to forceful with Lexi, but it was hard.
At this very moment Faith was on top of Lexi breathing hard. Okay, mind outta the gutter people, they're training. Faith looks down with a smirk, "Thought you said you had that move."
Lexi rolls her eyes, "Thought you were gonna take it easy with that shoulder."
Faith shrugs, "Doesn't hurt."
"You dislocated it last night." Lexi says with a sigh.
Lexi moves to push Faith aside and set up. Faith feels a all to familiar quickening between her legs, 'Fuck' she thinks, moving off of Lexi. 'If I don't get laid soon, I'm gonna explode!' She looks up to see the other girls coming out the door, "Sup?" She asks.
"Thought we might go out tonight." Amber says, "Maybe you too would like to tag along?"
Lexi sets up, then gets to her feet, "I'm gonna be with Jackson. And I don't like the idea of you girls going out by yourself."
Faith stands up as well, "Why don't I take them?" she asks, 'and then get a good lay' she adds to herself.
Lexi sighs, "Fine, just don't get them into trouble!"
"Would I do that?" Faith asks, watching Lexi glare at her. She chuckles, 'Lexi's so cute when she glares.' she thinks, 'Wow, what the fuck Faith, snap outta it already!' she shakes the thoughts from her mind. "When we leaving?" she asks.
"Round sixish?" Becky asks.
"Sounds good to me." Faith says.
"I'll have time to do my spell!" Megan smiles.
"Uh oh, this can't be good." Faith says, "What kinda spell?"
"Oh nothing big Faith I promise." Megan smiles sweetly at her.
Faith made her way back into the house, wondering what Megan will make explode next. As she passes the phone in the hall way it starts wringing she picks it up, wondering who is calling. It's Jackson saying he isn't coming over tonight. Faith sighs, she'll tell Lexi in a few minutes. Ounce in her room she begins to get her clothes ready for the night out with the girls, she needs something hot to wear. Ounce gathered she makes her way to shower. 'So not cool sharing a bathroom with four teenage girls' she thinks. 'But it's not as bad as sharing with thirty some odd' she reminds herself. After a nice, short and barely warm, because she was the last of them to shower, shower she made her way back down to her room. Lexi wasn't in her room so, she couldn't tell her about Jackson. And to be honest Faith wasn't to excited to put herself that close to Lexi. Ounce back in her own room again she closes the door, and sets down on the bed. Faith feels herself go cold all of a sudden then warm. She glances around for the cause but can't find it. She stands up, looks around, passing the mirror. "Oh shit" says a male voice. Faith's hand moves to her mouth, which is where the voice had emanated from. She looks at herself, or what she suspects to be herself. Her first instinct is to call Megan and ask her why she's know sporting a body that look a whole hell of a lot like Jacksons. However she doesn't. She looks at the body, all the right parts for a man, she notices. 'I should tell Lexi, but if Jackson isn't coming and...I've always wondered what it was like on the guys side. Not like she'll ever know right' Faith reasoned. 'This could end bad, but hey, nothing most fun things do.' Faith smiles, 'Okay so, where do I tell them Faith is?' Quickly Faith comes up with her plan. Surprised? Don't me, she's super horny, and lets face is, staying in Jackson's body means she for sure gets laid. And in Faith's mind, which is oddly gravitating toward the sexual side, that's not a bad thing. She emerges from her bedroom, and makes her way down the hall, running into Amber.
"Jackson, have you seem Faith?" Amber asks.
Faith smiles, "She said meet her at the club."
"Lexi's not gonna like that." Amber says.
"Why don't you let me handle Lexi?" Faith says.
Amber laughs, "You do that."
Faith laughs, hearing the deep chuckle that belongs to Jackson. She turns and heads toward Lexi's room. Knocking she pushes the door open. "Since when do you knock?" Lexi asks, she's dressing in a sheer nightie.
Faith swallows hard, Lexi is beautiful. 'But that's Jackson's thinking, right?' She shakes her head, "I'm full of surprises."
Lexi grins broadly, "Hmm, hope you wanna share them. Are the girls gone?"
"Leaving as we speak." Faith says, "Faith told them to meet her there."
Lexi sighs, "Can't she do the one thing I ask? I'm telling you she's driving me nuts Jackson. If she's not pumbling me she's taking the girls out for a night out."
"I'm not...I mean she's not always pumbling you, and the girls deserve a little time off!" Faith says remembering that she's Jackson.
Lexi laughs, "Okay so the girl rant thing, you're really not good at it are you? I mean she shows up and thinks she's going to take everything over. And yes, I realize I'm being mean and unfair and I seriously don't care. Because those girls need somebody to make sure they are okay. And I'm so not ready to turn that over to her." As Lexi moves Faith watches the little nightie rise up and show the lacy purple underwear she's wearing.
"I think maybe you're to worried about her, and I think we need to worry about other stuff." Faith says, her eyes gliding over Lexi.
Lexi turns around looking out the window, "You mean the demon we were attacked by last night, he got away."
"He got away?" Faith frowns, Lexi hadn't told her that.
"Duh," Lexi rolls her eyes, "You okay Jackson?" she turns back to face Faith.
"Yeah, I just, my mind was um, other um places." Faith says.
"When's it not?" Lexi asks with a laugh, "Come here." she moves her finger motioning her forward.
For a moment Faith's feet are planted in the same spot, but slowly she moves toward Lexi. She thinks for a second about telling her, but then her hands are on Lexi's hips and all thought leaves her. She bends down slightly closing her lips over Lexi's, running her tongue along Lexi's lower one, asking entrance into her mouth. Which Lexi gladly allows. She taste like blueberry, smells like them too. Faith reaches up and cups Lexi's face, pressing Jackson's body to Lexi's. It's a delirious haze of passionate kissing. Upon contact with Lexi's body, Jackson goes hard. Lexi pulls back for a second looking downward then raising an eye brow 'oh shit' Faith thinks, 'caught' but Lexi just laughs and shakes her head, returning to the previous kissing. Faith moves Jackson's hands around Lexi's back, pulling her body to Jackson's. Lexi's hands make it to Jackson's hair, 'who new that really made a guy hard' Faith thought. Before either of them realize what is happening, Lexi's pulling Jackson's shirt off, while Faith removes Lexi's nightie. She's wearing a lacy purple bra/underwear set. Faith swallows hard, moving them to the bed. She kisses Lexi's neck, causing her to produce a very seductive moan causing heat to rise in Jackson's body. Faith moves down to Lexi's bra, which opens in the front. She uses her teeth to undo it causing Lexi to laugh slightly. Quickly the bra is dis-guarded and Faith is nibbling at Lexi's breasts. Which causes another wave of heat rise in Jackson's body. Faith feels Lexi reach down to where Jackson's pants are still on, and undo them gently. She feels her hand sleep beneath the waste band and lets out a sharp breath. She buries her head in Lexi's thick red hair, as Lexi helps remove the barrier between them. Faith lets Jackson's hand run along the edge of Lexi's purple underwear, licking a spot between her naval and the edge. Lexi moans grabbing Jackson's hair. Slowly and gently Faith removes the offending underwear. Moving back to Lexi's head she captures her lips. Lexi moans into them ounce more causing heat to surge through Jackson's body. Faith sucks in another breath as, Lexi guilds Jackson inside of her, falling into rhythm together. That's the last thing Faith remembers until she's falling off of Lexi out of breath. Lexi moves to snuggle with closer.
Neither of them say anything for a long moment. "We should patrol I guess." Lexi says softly.
"Naw, not tonight." Faith says. She's stratified.
"We always patrol after sex." Lexi says leaning up, "You don't do cuddles remember?"
Faith kisses the top of her head, "I do tonight."
Lexi doesn't answer, instead draws circles on Jackson's chest. Faith can feel her breath even out, and soon looks over to find Lexi asleep. The clock tells her it's almost midnight, the girls should be back soon, and Faith knows for sure Jackson is never there when the girls return home. From all the puns and stuff you would think that they done it for all to see, but Lexi carefully guarded the girls. Sighing, Faith moves from the bed. Just as she gets up she feels a rush of cold and then hot. She looks down to find herself ounce more in her own body. She's surprised that she feels so, relaxed. Then again, getting laid had always mellowed her out. Quickly, she moves to her own room, laying down on the bed, not bothering with clothes, she puts her hands behind her head and stares up at the ceiling. Perfectly content.
Faith woke early the next morning, feeling extremely content. She smiles to herself thinking how a good lay always done that for her. She was even sure that she could deal with Lexi this morning. As she made her way to the kitchen she found Lexi humming as she fixed breakfast. Chucking to herself she thought 'Musta been good'. Lexi turns to find Faith watching her. "What? Oh, the girls aren't up yet. And I think I'll let them sleep, they've been up at five every morning this week." She says, "Breakfast?"
"Sure, you seem to be happy this morning." Faith comments taking the plate of offered food.
Lexi laughs, "Yeah well, it's not what you're thinking." She stops with a sigh, "It's Megan's birthday, thought we might do the cake kinda thing."
"Oh right." Faith says smiling slightly.
"When's yours?" Lexi asks.
"My what?" Faith blinks.
"Birthday, when's your birthday?" Lexi sets down beside her with her own plate.
"December." Faith says. "Why?"
"Well, I thought if you were still here, we could do the cake thing. Unless you have sworn off chocolate cake." Lexi laughs.
"No, I just ya know…" Faith frowns into her plate.
"Look, I never had birthday things either but, it's good for the girls." Lexi says.
Faith nods, 'Are we getting along?' she wonders. 'Okay time to go punch something'.
