A/N: Hey guys this is my new story hope you like it please give me reviews so I know if I should continue. I recently read another piece of fanfiction which really pushed me to try and make this story work so let's hope it does.
Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy or Once upon A Time. Which makes me very sad.
They had done it they had beaten the First evil as Buffy stood there in front of the crater previously know as the town Sunnydale she smiled, she was finally free. Almost eight years of hell, that was what her life had been. She had died twice or three times, if you count her getting shot and flat lining on the operation table. She had been torn from her peace and dropped in a coffin six feet underground and then clawed her way out of her own grave. She had been expected to bounce back and act just the way she had before she died but she couldn't and her friends just did not understand that. Not even a week after coming back they had told her they had spent all her money and that she had to get a job to support them, Willow had been living in the house with Tara and Dawn and had not gotten a job but just lived off Buffy's money. People she had called her friends for years had decided they could no longer trust her, her sister, the sister she jumped off the top of a tower to make sure would live, had kicked her out of her own house. All of them did. They had kicked her out of the house that she owned sending her out by herself. Even when she came back and had saved their asses she had not received an apology from anyone, including her best friends or her sister, they had just expected her to get over it. But she couldn't. At least not right away, she had given up so much for these people, for the world, more then they could possible know and now it was time she finally got to rest.
They drove for several hours until they ended up at the Hyperion hotel in L.A. it was abandoned but there were still some medical supplies from when Angel investigation was there, before Angel decided to try and destroy Wolfram and Heart from the inside. While everyone was tending to there own wounds Buffy grabbed some disinfectant, some gauze and a needle and thread and headed upstairs to one of the rooms. Faith saw Buffy go off by herself, she had seen Buffy get run through with a sword during the fight and was surprised the blonde had not passed out due to blood loss yet. When no one went to follow her Faith got up wanting to help her sister slayer. When she found Buffy she was holding a bottle of whiskey, which she must have found in the room. Buffy who had heard Faith enter the room looked up at her "Hey are you just going to stand there, or are gonna help a girl out" Faith chuckled and went to sit next to the blonde, it was when Buffy raised her shirt that Faith saw how bad the injury actually was "holy shit B. Why didn't ya say anything. Wait how in the hell were you jumping across buildings with a wound like this" Buffy just shrugged while she uncapped to bottle of whiskey "I guess I'm just better at surviving a knife wound to the gut then you are, plus there were most important things happening" Buffy joked as she took a swig of the whiskey making a disgusted face afterwards, Faith watches her friend and just laughs "damn B that hurt, you wounded my heart" Faith replies in a sarcastic manner. Faith grabs the bottle of disinfectant and starts to clean up Buffy's wound; she then starts to close the wound with the needle and thread.
After Buffy is all bandaged up she thanks Faith who simply nods taking the whiskey out of Buffy's hand and takes a swing. Another bottle of whiskey later and Faith learns several things about the blonde slayer: one she has a really low tolerance for alcohol, two the girl had literally given up everything to keep the world. The blonde so full of booze, spills a secret one that no one else knows, not even her mother had know. Neither did her sister or the scoobies. It turns out that Buffy had a kid! That's right before she came to Sunnydale.
Buffy was two months pregnant when she was called as the slayer, when her watcher Merrick found out he had a witch Lena hide the pregnancy with magic and use a protection spell on Buffy to keep her and the baby safe. She had gone into labor when she was arrested for burning down the school gym. The witch who had helped Merrick before he was killed went to where Buffy was being kept and used her powers to get the guards to let Buffy out for several hours and then got her a medical team to deliver the baby. Once he was born Lena made everyone at the hospital forget that they had ever been there. Merrick had earlier convinced Buffy that it was in the child's best interest that she give him up for adoption, as being the son of a slayer will paint a target on his back and when she dies he would be in even more danger. Lena looked sadly at the teenage girl who was crying as she watched her son be taken away from her. Lena had told the nurse to make sure he ends up in a good home. Once the boy was taken care of Lena had come back using magic she fixed Buffy up so that she looked as though she had never been pregnant, she then took her back to her jail, she used her powers again on the guards to make them forget all about Buffy's departure and think that she had been there the whole time. Lena told Buffy to go one with her life and wished her luck as the slayer and then she disappeared in a puff of smoke. And that was exactly what Buffy had done she tried to go on and pretend that none of it had happened. But she could never completely forget.
After hearing this story Faith learned one more thing about Buffy, after everything she has lost and been through, she always puts others first no matter, no matter how they treat her, she will drop everything to come and save them. Hell, the girl had died for them, for the world and technically when she died the first time and a new slayer was called it was no longer her job but she still went out and did the job because she knew it was the right thing to do. Faith had never realized how bad Buffy actually had it. It was in that moment that Faith decided that she wanted to help Buffy, Buffy had given her a second chance and now it was Buffy's turn, Buffy deserves to be free from all the violence and actually have real options for once in her life. After Buffy had fallen asleep Faith started to think up a plan to help Buffy start a new life. Starting over as someone new was easy enough, Faith had done it a hundred times however the problem lies mainly with the scoobies. They are not just going to let their strongest and most experienced slayer go now even if they now have hundreds, no they will try to get her to stay guilting her into giving up more of her life, and if she did take off, they would just have red-headed witch track her down with some magic. Faith was screwed, how was supposed to get B out with red around. An idea came to her. Angel. The man loves Buffy and would do anything to help her at least that's what Faith hoped. It turns out that she was right after filling Angel in on everything from Buffy's kid to the scoobies kicking her out of the house he had agreed to help.
Faith waited till everyone was asleep and then woke the rather hangover Buffy, who was not so happy with having water thrown in her face. After telling Buffy what she wanted to do Buffy's first reaction was "what about everyone else, what about Dawn I can't just abandon them". Faith got slightly pissed off by how selfless the slayer acted and yelled at her reminding her of everything that she had lost and everything that she had done for them "B, you have done enough, hell you have done more than enough you deserve to actually be happy and have control over your life for once. Don't worry about the others I will explain everything to them, after I yell at them for a bit. And about the littlest Summers, look she may be your sister but after everything you did for her she made it very clear when she kicked you out, that she thinks she does not need you. She's wrong; they all need you but for once think about what you need. I promise I will keep an eye on all of them." Buffy stared at Faith shocked, she could not believe of all people that Faith was the one who had done this for her so after a moment of thought Buffy nodded Faith was right she deserved to have a life that doesn't revolve around death and violence for once. Faith smiled grabbing a bag from the corner of the room then the two of them snuck out to get to the meeting place where Angel would be waiting.
Angel stood outside Caritas waiting for Buffy and Faith, after everything that Faith had told him he knew he had to help Buffy. After getting over his slight anger of Faith's part in Buffy getting kicked out, which Faith promises she regrets, he used his resources to make sure Buffy could start a new life he had gotten her a new identity with all the correct paper work he had even gotten her paperwork which would allow her to get through any airport without having to go through security so that she could still carry her weapons with her if she needed. He had also found a very powerful warlock who was able to put do a spell, which would prevent any location spells being used to locate her. Lastly he had gotten together around 20,000 dollars to help Buffy start over.
He saw Faith and Buffy walking towards him and gave them both a hug and kissed the top of Buffy's head. Buffy smiled at him "Thank you for everything Angel you really didn't have to do this." Angel looked deep into her green eyes his own eyes filling with water
"Yes, I did after everything you have been through it's the least I could do. Make me one promise though, if you ever feel like you are finished baking and are cookies give me a call." Buffy laughed cursing that stupid cookie analogy she had come up with and wished it had been something else. The cab that Angel had called earlier to take Buffy to the airport pulled up next to them. Angel handed Buffy the bag full with everything she would need, then Buffy gave Angel a small kiss before turning to Faith and hugging her Faith hugged her back "B, man contact me to let me know your alright, Angel put some contact numbers in that goody bag of yours." Faith smiled at the blonde and actually had tears in her eyes "B, I'm so sorry for what happened with the scoobies and my part in it I—" Buffy interrupted Faith she too also had tears in her eyes "Faith as far as I'm concerned we are how do you say it, Five By Five" Faith laughed "yeah we five by five... plus we are also hot chicks with superpowers which is just awesome" "ohh before I forget I got you a little going away present" Faith handed Buffy the bag that she had grabbed when they were leaving the hotel. Buffy confused opened the bag and inside was the Scythe "Faith I can't take this, what if you guys need it" She tried to give it back to Faith but Faith just shook her head.
"B, you are going off on your own while I now have my own little army of super strong brats. Take it just in case you get in trouble or incase you want to kill some vamps just for the fun of it" Buffy laughed "Plus it is yours, you pulled a King Arthur and pulled the thing out of the freaking stone when no one else could, so it's yours".
Faith pushed the bag with the scythe into Buffy's hands. Faith and Angel then pushed Buffy into the cab and it drove off. Buffy looked back at the them both and waved goodbye as she headed for the airport. She placed the bag Faith gave her on the seat and opened the bag Angel gave her. Inside was a plane ticket to Tallahassee and a bunch of other things. She sorted through everything till she found a passport with her new identity. Emma Swan. That would work. It seems for the time being Buffy would be Emma Swan at least for now.
