I don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the Newsies. They belong to Joss Whedon and the Newsies belong to Disney.
Chapter Four
Previously on Finding Her Destiny...
"Yes" Jack grinned. He didn't think of it as a big deal most newises ended up in the refudge house at one point in time in their life.
Jack saw a building behidn them and led them inside. There was wooden steps inside the building and ropes like a theater. While they talked someone had come to the steps. They looked up and saw...
"Shoo you street rats" a beautiful red headed woman said. She was dressed in a purple dressed with a purple fan in her hand that she was waving at them. She didn't see Buffy just the boys since Buffy was sitting on a box.
"Now you wouldn't send me away would ya Meda" Jack grined and turned. He knew that as soon as she saw it was him that she would allow them to stay.
"Oh Jack Kelly come here kid" Meda said and opened her arms. She hugged him and kissed him on both cheeks. "And Buffy hello" she said to the young beautiful blond. They had met a few times and became fast friends.
"Hello Meda"Buffy huged her and smiled. She has been asked by Meda to do a song for her one night she told her with her looks and her voice she could do well on stage. Stage wasn't Buffy's thing she didn't like to be center of attention.
"Meda I want you to meet Davey and Les" Jack said his arm around Meda's waist.
"Hello boys I am Meda as you know" she said and laughed. Her laughed was one of the sweetest Davy had ever heard. She was old but beautiful in his eyes he wondered how Jack knew her, he would ask him later.
"Do you mind if we stay we have trouble outside?" Jack asked.
"Of course you can I miss you in the balacony hanging on my every word" Meda said. She saw the man that worked for her selling candy and and such and waved him over. "Toby give my guest whatever they want free of chrage. I am going to go get ready see you four on stage." She turned and left.
Buffy did not get anything while the boys got something. She followed Jack to the spot by the side of the stage. Davey and Les also joind them there and she noticed Davey hadn't taken his eyes off Meda. Meda did that the first time you met her, her beauty comanded you look at her. She came on stage and began to sing and Buffy sang softly to herself since she knew the song while the boys watched silenty. At the end of the show they left the theater by the back door.
"Did you like that?" Jack asked Davey and Les.
"Yes that was great just great. She is beautiful" Davey said in a dream like voice and state. "How do you know her?"
"She is a friend of my fathers" Jack said.
Buffy was interested then big time. Jack never talked talked about his family much and no one every asked questions or brought it up. She wondered what kind of family her friend had she wondered what kind of families all her other friends had. Things are so different here that she was use to people knowing all about family while it wasn't important when you were on the street it was like you didn't matter didn't have any identiy.
"Your father?" Buffy ventrued and asked.
"Where is your dad?" Davey asked his new friend. He had become fast friends with Jack quickly.
"He is out west with me mudder finding a home. Once theys find one theys are going ta send for me." Jack said proudly. They all heard a big noise and saw light and hurried around the cornor, it was the trolly strikers fight the cops and there was fire.
"We should go back to my place and divide up" Davey called out. He did not want to be in a dangerous situation where anyone of them could get hurt. A lady like Buffy shouldn't have to see this she should be in a safer situation.
"This is going to be tommrows news. We are going to have a good day" Jack said excitly. "With these asses fighten like theys in the war." He was glad that they would have a good news day again it has been so dry lately nothing good in the papes.
"Come on" Buffy said and grabbed Jack's arm. "I am hungry I want to go and get some food at home" she said.
"Okay" Jack said. He couldn't resist Buffy he was like a big brother that would give in and do anything his little sister wanted. When he turned around he chuckled. "Would you look at that he fell asleep." Les was asleep on a bench despite all that was going on around him and Buffy giggled. Jack picked up Les and carried him on his shoulder and they left the street.
"Well this is my stop" Buffy said. "See you in the morning" she said to Jack. She turned and went to her place while Jack and Davey went to Davey's. At her apartment she let herself in and began fixing some stew. She was amazed she could cook it was like they also gave her the knowledge she needed to live when she was sent back to here. She changed into her nightgown and went and sat on the fire escape. She looked up at the stars and moon feeling the urge to patrol but she couldn't she couldn't change the future by stepping in.
She thought of her friends she missed them but she was happy here. She hoped they were not to worried about her. She wished she could tell them what was going on and that she was happy and she wasn't the Slayer she got her dream come true. Being the Slayer was the hardest thing in her life she had to hide who she was from others but not anymore. The only way she would do her job is if one of her friends here was threatened or hurt by something that was not human.
"You Slayers are deep thinkers" a voice said from behind.
She jumped and turned and saw Whislter. "You know its not good to sneak up on me cause you might your rib cage as my hat."
"Nice picture" Whistler shook his head. "I came to warn you kid. Angelus is in town. The future has changed he has no soul and never has. But he is alone but Spike will follow. Both will have the knowledge of who you are and how they know you. You have to decide to kill them or not to, if you kill them that can change the future but only for the good cause of all the people spared, but bad if a person that doesn't deserve to live lives."
"You know you and your bosses suck. Here I thought I no longer had to be the Slayer that I just had to be me. Just had to be Buffy Summers no one else no Slayer nothing. Now this I have to decide to see my ex's and if I do run into them by chance to kill or not to kill."
"This all part of you finding your destiny. If you decide after you kill them you no longer want to be a Slayer we can take your powers, but no getting them back. Heck I can do it now if you want. But you have to be sure this is a serious matter."
"I don't have to be a Slayer" Buffy said amazed. She was fighting with herself. She wanted to be normal but how could she be normal knowing what goes bump in the night. How could she protect her friends.
"You don't have to decide now Slayer" Whistler said. "I will come back when I know you made a decision. The Powers that Be will know your decisions the moment you decide it yourself."
Before Buffy could speak Whistler was gone. Her life got a whole lot more complicated with this big decision. She did not know what would be the right decision in this matter. Both choices had pro's or con's. She had sacrifaced so much being the Slayer and now she could have the normal life she dreamed of. She sighed and climbed back inside. Once things were cleaned up she climbed into bed. She closed her eyes and fell into her dream world.
One dream she had was what kind of life she would have staying the Slayer and having this secret. But also protecting her friends and keeping them all alive. And the other part of the dream was losing her powers and livign a normal life and having to sit back and watch friends die or hear or read something and not being able to do somethign about it. She woke up as confused as she was when she went to sleep last night.
"Ugh I dont' know what to do" she said outloud. She got out of bed and remade the bed and closed the window. She quickly washed herself and her hair and let it dry in the warm sun and breeze. She got dressed in a light blue skirt and a white button up shirt and pinned up her hair and put a blue hat on her head. She sat down on the couch and put on her boots. She was glad taht she did not do corsets and such she was small enough not to. She left the apartment after locking the windows and door.
She walked outside enjoying the morning. She went and got breakfast which was butter and toast and some coffee. After eating and paying she met up with Jack and the others at the distrabution office. It was a normal morning till they were inside and she was waiting while they paid for their papers. That is when things changed for all of them in a big way, the world was going to find out who these news boys were, and what they were going to do to change the world.
