It had been one month since that day in the warehouse. One month since he first met his cousins and their friends and the young women who had been charged with protecting the Earth from evil so great that many men would run away in fear. He had wanted to be angry, to yell at his cousins and the Scoobies, as they called themselves, for taking away the innocence that the women possessed, but he couldn't. One, he understood the problem that Buffy had faced and her decision. It also helped knowing that slayers who got chosen were chosen because they could more than likely handle the burden. He hadn't yet met a slayer that was weak-minded. Some had their faults, but they were all good at what they did.

And he had met A LOT of slayers in the past month.

Originally, everyone was looking for a large space to house the slayers, something like a University that had been closed, but they found no such luck. What they were able to do was access the accounts of the Council and buy up all the property that housed the abandoned warehouses that no one wanted and seller's sold for cheap.

Of course, having a few buildings being opened and renovated for a bunch of seemingly harmless girls would cause suspicion, so a front was being used. While several of the warehouses were being used for dorms, the library and their training facilities that the public couldn't see, the rest were used for legitimate business, such as a self-defense class for anyone who wanted it and other assorted businesses run by the Council.

It was almost perfect

The same solution was being used for the Councils being built around the world near the other Hellmouth's and the main Council in England.

"We're gonna get you outta here," Dean whispered, hoping to calm the young slayer.

He meant what he said about it being almost perfect. He still didn't like the fact that these girls were chosen for this, whether they could handle it or not.

One of the younger slayers, fourteen, was taken by a demon on her way home from the mall with her friends. She was so close to the dorms, but it didn't stop the demon from taking her. He was very vocal about being part of the rescue team. He was doing whatever he could to protect them. He was actually starting to train some of the slayers in dealing with incorporeal beings, like the spirits he was used to. It wasn't enough to do it Buffy's way; quip and hope that either the thing gets pissed enough to take form, or have Willow do a spell to make it take form. These slayers weren't his cousin; some couldn't just laugh in the face of danger and be okay with it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean---" she was hysterical, but Dean needed her calmed and focus, just in case a demon broke away from the other slayers and came their way. He was still getting used to the large, increased strength demons that actually physically fought you.

"Don't worry about it," he cut her off. "Not hurt are you?"

"No," she shook her head, thankful that he undid the binding on her hand, and wiped her tears away, "They just knocked me out and I woke up here. Buffy's going to kill me for being weak."

"Why would she do that? She's been in this situation before plenty of times."

Shrugging, "Some of the other slayers, they say things, like Buffy only leads the tough slayers and any weak ones will be deactivated."

That stopped him a few seconds. Was the gossip really that bad? It was in no way true, but Dean knew he'd have to talk to Buffy about it, make sure she knew. But first he had to make sure this slayer was alright before helping the others take out the demon and any minions that were still left alive.

No one messed with one of their own.
