Over the last couple of months things had been going really well for Faith, Diana, and Tara. Faith and Diana were getting used to mans world, and Tara was becoming stronger, and more sure of herself. Tara and Faith's relationship was progressing as well everything was perfect. Until the night Faith went to the store and was stopped by a strange woman who said she was someone named 'Faith Lehane' and she was a Potential Vampire Slayer?! Seriously?
"Look I told ya I ain't who ya want. So Cya." Faith said irritated as she started to walk away.
"My name is Professor Diana Dormer and I'm with the Watchers' Council. We have ways of finding Potential Vampire Slayers even before their born. Those methods have lead me to you Faith Lehane. Now, if you'll come with me we have work to do." The woman now known as Professor 'as if that means anything' Diana Dormer said.
Faith stared at the woman for a minute taking in her dress, and high heels than decides that it was best to ask Diana amd Tara about this before going anywhere with this crazy lady. So without any warning Faith takes off running with Diana Dormer trying to following her but she quickly loses her. Faith wanted to make sure the woman didn't follow her home so she ran around in circles for several minutes before returning home.
When Faith returned home Diana and Tara knew something was wrong but before either of them could speak Faith started talking, "Tara is our house protected against people using magic to try to find anyone living here?" Faith asked urgently shocking both women.
Stunned Tara replied, "Yes. I put up a protection spell on our home the day after we moved in. I did it because when we were staying at the hotel I called my cousin Beth to see if she knew anything about Donnie and my father. When she was surprised to hear from me and told me that they should have just tossed me in a ditch like she wanted. I wanted to make sure she couldn't find me." Tara was still sad over the fact her female cousin had sided with her father and brother in a plot to kill her. Seeing Tara's teary eyes Faith hugged her as Diana changed the subject.
"Why do you want to know about protection spells? You've said you don't believe in that sort a thing but if it made Tara happy you're okay accepting it. So what's changed now that you want to know more about magic?" Diana asked with concern clearly written acrossed her face. For Faith to be asking about magic something bad must have happened.
"I was on my way to the store when this woman stopped me. She kept insisting my was name Faith Lehane and I was a Potential Vampire Slayer. I kept telling her that wasn't me, she had the wrong person. That's when she told me that she worked for a group that has ways to find Potential Vampire Slayers even before they are born. When she said to come with her I ranaway from her to come talk to you guys and see what you think of all this." Faith said while pacing back and forth in front of an equally confused and concerned Diana and shocked Tara.
"Remember three months ago you were having dreams about a girl fighting creatures that looked like Logan?" Diana began thoughtfully, "Maybe this has something to do with those dreams. We never did found out why you were having them or where they came from. Also Logan said that he was a vampire."
Before anyone could say anything else Tara asked, "What group?"
Faith was confused about the sudden topic change, "Why?"
Shrugging Tara replied while going to her computer, "Maybe we can looked them up online."
"That's a good idea. Faith you know more of Logan's hacking tricks then I do, when we get close to finding something I want you hack into the site to see what it's truly is about." Said Diana as she went to her computer as well.
"She said her name was Professor whatever that means Diana Dormer." Faith started for her computer as she continued saying, " The group she works for is call the Watchers' Council."
They started to reseach and soon found out that Professor Diana Dormer was a professor of folkore and mythology at Harvard University. Next they find some sites that mentioned Vampire Slayers finding out that, "She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness." They also found that Vampire Slayers have supernatural strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, rapid healing, and prophetic dreams. But they were unable to find anything on the Watchers' Council.
"This doesn't really tell us anything. What they're discribing as traits for Vampire Slayers is what we Amazons have naturally. All except for the prophetic dreams." A frustrated Diana huffed.
"I don't know what to tell you. I've never heard of them. Maybe Faith should just meet her again and get more information?" Tara timidly suggested.
"T-Bear I don't know if that's a good idea. I don't think I should leave this house anytime soon. She said they could find these Slayers even before they're born. If that's true I shou-" Faith suddenly stopped and turned pale as a thought occurred to her, "If they can really track these Slayers before birth do you think they know about Themyscira?" Now it was Diana who turned pale.
Tara however remained calm. "I don't think so." Both Diana and Faith went to interrupt but she held her hand up to stop them. "Hear me out, please?" When they both nodded she continued, "Faith, you said she called you Faith Lehane? Right?" Getting another nod from Faith, Tara, breathed a sigh of relief. "Faith don't you understand? Even if it is you she wants she doesn't really know you." Tara could see they where beginning to see what she was getting at and continued, "She may know you're a Vampire Slayer but doesn't know anything about Faith Prince because she looking for Faith Lehane. And because she is looking for Faith Lehane from Boston, Themyscira is still safe. Just to be on the safe side you should go find this Professor and pretend you need to learn to fight. That way you can keep an eye on her and find out what she truly knows about you." Tara finishes looking both relieved and worried at the situation.
"She has a point Faith. If you "train" with this person then you'll be able to know what her movements and movites are." Diana, said looking at Tara proudly approving her plan.
And so it was decided that Faith Prince, Amazon Princess, warrior, and daughter of an American spy whose been dead for eighty-one years. Would become Faith Lehane, a South Boston teenager who Faith would learn more about from the Professor lady.
Professor Dormer found Faith the next time she left the house. She was once again insisting that she knew who Faith was so after a few minutes Faith gave in and followed her home.
"How much do you know about me?" Asked Faith, looking around Dormer house before continuing, "How do you even know about me?" She said almost holding her breath.
"We don't really know that much. At least at first. All we knew is where the mother is, and her name. Then we keep an eye on the girls, and when they get close to the age when they could become Slayers we approach them to train and guide them." The Professor said arrogantly.
Deciding that Faith should stay with her. Professor Dormer then introduced her to Sensei Kanno. Who was a martial artist that trained Slayers and Potential Slayers because he wanted revenge against the vampires for them killing his family. Dormer also took Faith shopping for a new wardrobe, turning Faith Prince into Faith Lehane. Faith bought leather, thight clothes, and got a henna.
For the next seven months Faith 'lived' at Dormer's house and trained. She only saw Diana and Tara when she went on 'dates' with Tara. Faith was upset at first her that relationship with Tara had taken a step backwards, until she came to the realization that it was better this way. They could get to know each other better before getting to intimately invovled.
Then one night Faith was spending the night over at a 'friend's' house when she had another one of her dreams about a girl fighting vampires. This time the girl was black not blonde and spoke with a funny accent. The next morning Faith, told Tara and Diana she had another girl fighting dream over breakfast. As Faith reached to pick up a glass of orange juice it broke in her hand. That's when they all realized this time was different.
When Faith told Dormer about the incident she called the Coucnil and confirmed that Kendra Young, the current Slayer had been killed making Faith the Slayer. Faith questioned how she could be sure and Dormer told her that with the dreams of seeing the last Slayer's life, and the broken glass it means she had been imbued with the powers of the Slayer, and they would need to train harder.
Diana and Tara would go out with Faith more and more as Dormer became more confident in Faith's abilities and chose to stay at home more. That suited the Princes and Tara as they got to spend more time together. Everything was going well until the night Faith returned home to find a nightmare waiting for her.
He was Kakistos, an ancient vampire so old he had cloven hooves for hands and feet, and because of this he could never have a human appearance again. Kakistos had actually commanded the Maenads and fought against the Slayer Artemia in ancient Greece. And now he was in Boston, in Faith's town, and at this very moment he was in Faith's home, and he wasn't alone.
Faith arrived home her wounds still bleeding but almost healed. Diana rushed to her daughter's side frantic about the state she was in. Tara came rushing in with the first aid kit and helped Diana treat Faith while listening to what happened. After arriving home to find Dormer being tortured by an ancient vampire and his minions. Faith was held captive by several of them while Kakistos killed Dormer in front of Faith before she managed to get away, and take out his eye before knocking over a candle the vampires had ignored. She ran out in the confusion of the fire.
"What do we do know?" A quiet Faith wanted to know.
"I don't think we can stay here." Said an equally quiet Tara.
"While we can't risk them following us to Themyscira T-Bear. I know we said we'd take you there but not now. Not like this!" Faith said a little more angrily.
Before an agruement could start between the couple Diana stopped it by saying, "Didn't Professor Dormer say something about a second Slayer somewhere in California?" Diana paused thinking. Before she could continue Faith interrupted.
"Yeah, out in Sunnydale, California. Buffy Summers, she drowned but was revived by CPR. Why?" Faith asked looking puzzled.
"Because that's where we're going. If this vampire is looking for one Slayer and has followers then maybe two Slayers can defeat all of them." Diana stated logically.
And with those words the family of three headed for the second Slayer. Headed for Sunnydale, Califonia. Headed for Buffy Summers.
A/N: For those of you who don't know what it is a henna is a temporary tattoo. I gave Faith a henna instead of a real tattoo for two reasons: 1.) She's Royalty. and 2.) She's Immortal. Because of these reasons I don't see her marking her body with something like a silly tattoo. But I wanted to try to keep to characteristics of the character.
A/N2: For the Wonder Woman fans Bruce said it himself in Batman VS Superman that Wonder Woman didn't do anything in mans world until 2013. Before that there wasn't any photos or surveillance videos of her. So in this story for a little bit longer she'll be in the background. She might have a surprise appearance or two before hand you'll just have to wait and see. ;)
A/N3: They didn't find anything on the Watchers' Council not for a story plot but because from what I remember of Buffy cannon they hated technology. They wouldn't have just let a website be hosted about them. In one of the last episodes Giles says that almost all their research materials was destroyed when the Council HQs blew and they should have put it on computers before that. So no Watchers' Council website.
