Under a Dark Star

Disclaimer- I do not own any of these characters from either Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Stargate SG-1. They of course belong to their creators and their corporations. They just wanted to come out for a while, so I agreed. No copyright infringement is intended and I deeply respect their creators and hope I brought them to life in a way they enjoy. Oh yes this work is definitely AU in nature for both series.

A/N- What if Faith was wrong about her family? What if she really was wanted and circumstances were not as she thought? What would her real family do to protect her and help her? What happens when fate decides to give the dark slayer a protector of her own who knows about the council and has a place to keep her safe away from those who harm her?

Spoilers- Season 1 Stargate SG-1 and the movie along with any and all seasons with Faith in it for Buffy the Vampire slayer. Mostly after the series ended.

A/N: A special thank you to Morgomir for giving this a once over. Any mistakes are mine as he tried to beta this insanity. Thanks for the help it was really needed.

Part 56 Close Calls PG

Abbey and McGee ran as fast as they could. The Wraith was on their heels. Stun blasts went to the left and right of them as they ran in a zig zag pattern. Abbey slipped on the floors as she was wearing high heeled clogs. McGee helped her up and Abbey grabbed her clogs and threw them at the Wraith. The shoe hit him square in the face and he slowed for a moment. Barefoot she scrambled to her feet with Tim's help and they ran. As they rounded a corner they ran into the newly arrived team headed by Commander Sam Finn. Her team opened fire with their automatics and cut the Wraith down. She looked at the NCIS agent with annoyance and said. "Gram give him your spare P-90."

"Sure thing Commander." Graham said. He tossed the weapon to McGee and looking at Abbey said. "You better find some better shoes lady or you'll be some Wraith's lunch."

The Goth glared at him. "Well they look cool."

The Army ranger sighed at this and shook his head. Women were not always too bright. Then again Buffy could kick ass in six inch stiletto heels. Of course this Abbey was no slayer. So maybe that was the difference?

"Let's go people we have to clear this hall area." Sam Finn said. She and the team she had with her moved forward. She keyed her mike. "Stevens, Harrison, Dent where the hell are you."

Faith picked up the radio and answered her. "They are dead commander. The Wraith fed on one of your men the other has a broken neck. I'm sorry we couldn't save them."

Sam Finn cursed. Damn the Slayers. Every time they were around she lost people.

"Have the Wraith restore--"

"Sorry Commander Fin the kid is nothing but a dust ball." Buffy said.

There was a moment of silence when another voice cut in. "They made the Wraith restore the Watcher commander. Them slayers let Bobby and Peter die. They saved that old guy."

Faith and Buffy looked at each other.

"Who the hell is that B? No one else was here?"

"No idea but damn it the soldiers were already dead." Buffy replied.

Buffy as the senior slayers spoke into the walkie-talkie. "We can't save everyone."

Sam Finn was angry as she shouted into the com line. "Damn you. Those were good men."

The Slayers turned off their com links.

"You know I really wish your boy toy was here." Faith said.

Buffy shrugged and said "Not mine anymore Faith. But I agree I would so rather deal with Riley. Sam Finn is ok but geez she expects no casualties? It is not like we asked them to be here."

"I know. Personally I would rather be here with only our people and hunters. When are they arriving anyway? Did Red have a time table?"

"Next week probably. I mean a lot of them are not so easy to reach. The Winchesters well you know them. It is not like they have a real address and most hunters are the same and more still will go to ground if they hear the government is looking for them before we can spread the word."

Faith smirked that was so true. Dean and Sam were good people but they weren't exactly altar boys.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Monica smiled as she woke up to the smell of fresh coffee and croissants. She rolled over and found Kennedy stretching out next to her. She looked around and found that they were in their room on the massive four poster bed. Strong arms pulled her close for a morning kiss. There was a knock at the door and it opened before it could become more.

"Good morning ladies or should I say good afternoon." Marcus said with a cheerful smile. "I have brought croissants, orange juice, and coffee for you both. I know you both will likely need more then this but I hope it will tide you over until you've had a hot shower and cleaned up. This is just a small thank you. Now I will leave you to eating your breakfast snack now. I have to call Cleveland and speak to Robin. After if you are up to it I would like to talk and discuss your plans for our family."

Monica grinned at this. "Don't look so worried Marcus. I think it'll be all right. Have faith. I promise you will not be shorted in this relationship."

He nodded at this statement and said. "I trust you both. Last night was wonderful. I look forward to being a family once we found out a way to make it work. I know that you are being very giving here. I promise to take care of you both when needed." He reached out and gently took each woman's hand. "I think I'll soon be the luckiest man on Earth."

"You betcha you are." Kennedy said with a grin. "Now let us get cleaned up and you go do your watcher stuff. We'll be down in a few minutes."

Marcus grinned and headed out. "By the way the cook is making a proper breakfast it will be ready in half an hour." He slipped out.

Kennedy grinned and looked at her lover. "We could shower together?"

Monica grinned at this and said. "Sounds like a plan." Both knew that their lives were changing. By adding Marcus they had gotten a new positive effect. However they were still each other's soul-mates.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Catherine Langford sighed with relief when the news came through. The arrival of the three Earth ships had turned the tide of battle. The remaining Wraith Hive had fled and all that remained was the cleanup of the city. While there was still danger it was a lot less. Lemuria had survived.

"Nana once we clear the city we'll be jumping to Atlantis. The doctors have cleared the city and we discarded those ugly suits. Actually we dumped them at once. Anyway we will be meeting up with you soon. I'm sending the Daedalus ahead to keep an eye on you all. Buffy is uneasy and so am I. I would hate for them to jump Atlantis when you have no ships there to keep them back."

Catherine smiled at the clear concern in Faith's voice. She answered."We'll be fine Faith. I look forward to seeing you again. I think joining the cities is indeed a wise plan. Be careful and remember a corned beast is a dangerous one."

"Yes, that's true. But we're all five by five Nana." Faith said.

Catherine smiled at this as they sighed off.
