"Faith?! What the HELL are you doing here?" Buffy yelled at Faith with bitterness. "No on Second thought I don't want to know just leave...NOW."
"Sorry B. can't do that...and as for why I'm here...I heard you kicked the can and I figured the Hellmouth could use a Slayer and with you 6 feet under..that left me. So here I am," Faith said in her casual tone.
"Since when have you cared about Slaying? And protecting the Hellmouth?? No I get it, you figured I was out of the picture so you could come screw Xander again? Switch Bodies with Willow this time? Oh! I got it! Maybe you can try to revive the mayor! Oooh yeah Faith that'd be a good one. ."
"Screw Xander?" Anya repeated Buffy's words and looked at Xander. "She does mean screwed with your head right? As in tricked you and not..physically...you know."
"uh....well...um..." Xander choked on his words looking for an answer that would please Anya. "...lets talk about this later...now isn't a good time...what with the 2 slayers going neck to neck..we might have to duck for cover at any given minute!"
"Look B. I'm here whether you want me to be or not, and I'm not going anywhere, So live with it. That's the way things are."
"Aren't you supposed to be in Cell block C somehwere? How the hell did you get out?" Buffy asked letting her anger slide a little.
"Demons...they busted the place up pretty bad...everyone got out. So here I am." Faith responded
"Demons? In L.A......a lot of them? How? When? Why didn't Angel tell me? Does he need my help??" Buffy asked with concern rising in her voice.
"Chill out B. he and his scoobies are taking care of things."
"Hey!" Xander protested "We're the only scoobies around here!....those Imposters!"
"Actually..." Anya chimed in "Cordelia was a Scooby at one point in time"
"Shhh!!" Xander waved a hand hushing Anya to hear the rest of the argument.
"Look Buffy, I've had a lot of time to think and I realized...you're the only other person to know how it feels...what it's like...the depth of being a Slayer...No one else knows that except you.'
"Yeah, well we had our chance to have sleepovers and paint our nails..but instead you tried killing us all and I have nothing to say to you, So either you leave now, or I make you" Buffy responded, her eyes never leaving Faith's for a second. Buffy walked up to Faith so they were eye to eye, Buffy was just about to go at it Faith when the door to the magic shop opened and Willow walked in.
"Hey Will, You're late and missing all the action, Buffy and Faith...the sequel." Xander said to Willow. Suddenly he could feel the intense glare of Buffy. "I mean uh...Nothing going on here...nope...nothing.."
Willow decided not to comment on Faith being there, figuring enough comments were already made and tried lightening the mood. "Sorry I'm late, I was trying a new spell and I sorta...lost track of time. But I'm here now!" Willow said with a bright smile
Faith rolled her eyes at the shift in the conversation. "I'm going to patrol. Oh and B. I'm gonna need a place to stay for the time being." Faith said smirk on her lips "I figured you could help me out" and before Buffy had a chance say anything, Faith was out the door.
(AN: this next part refers to Xena's Point of View in the beginning of chapter 1)
Xena watched from a rooftop as the blonde that was running after her apparently gave up and began walking the other way. Xena could have just confronted her but she wanted to observe more before she made any moves. She made her descent from the roof by doing a front flip and quietly went to meet back up with Gabrielle.
The Blonde Amazon princess waited impatiently for Xena. It had been a few days since they had suddenly appeared in this new world. They had no clue where it was or how to get back, or how they even got there. Xena had gone out to try to find information and Gabrielle was to try to find them clothes so they fit in with everyone here. Xena had given Gabrielle the money that was used here...How Xena got the money, Gabrielle didn't know...
"Gabrielle!" Xena called as she approached the blond.
"Xena, how did it go? Did you find out anything?" Gabrielle asked
"No...but there is someone who may know...a girl..she fought..things...Bacchae maybe? They looked a little different but resembled them."
"So..She'd have to be pretty strong to be able to fight things of that nature correct?"
"That's my hunch, but before we do anything, we need to get some clothes that don't look so..different...we need to fit in. You stay here while I go get clothes but be careful in case one of those...things decides to attack." Xena said and turned around and began a slow jog in the opposite direction.
"You be careful to Xena!" Gabrielle yelled hoping Xena had heard her.
Faith was walking down the darkened streets of Sunnydale remembering her days as a Co-Slayer with Buffy. She walked past what was formerly Sunnydale High and wondered what the Ascension was like. She would of loved to have seen the Mayor his finest moment. Yet still...Part of her was glad that Buffy and the gang beat him. That must have been a good fight. Suddenly she heard a crash followed by shattering glass and jumped at the chance to get some action. She ran to where she heard the commotion and saw a woman taking clothes from the local Boutique.
"What's this? A vamp with style? Never thought I'd see the day" Faith folded her arms as she was ignored by the woman. She KNEW that woman heard her and that only ticked her off more. "Alright, you're no fun, You're dust." Faith jumped in the broken window and approached the woman and she saw she was packing some heat....if you could call a sword heat. "Oooh look's like I'm gonna get a good fight after all, and believe me I been itching for a fight...sitting in that Cell all that time got my juices flowing." Faith was getting more ticked off every second as she was ignored. "So you got a name or, are you just gonna be another pile of dust in a few seconds?"
"Xena, Warrior Princess" the woman answered without looking up from the clothes rack.
"Now we're getting somewhere, I'm Faith, Vampire slayer and you are 2 seconds away from-." Faith was cut off when Xena tried to walk past her with the stolen clothes. "Ohh no you don't," Faith leaned against the wall with a devilish grin, blocking Xena's path.
"I suggest you move, if you don't want to get hurt that is." Xena replied with a bitterness that Faith wasn't used to.
"Look lady, I don't know who you think you are, but you obviously don't know who you're talk-" Faith was once again cut off when there was a sudden movement from Xena. Before Faith could realize what had happened Xena had her in an arm lock against the wall where she was unable to move. With one quick motion and a loud snap, Faith's arm had been pulled from its socket.
"Maybe next time you'll listen." Xena said while picking up her things and walking from the Boutique leaving Faith in a state of shock and pain. Stumbling to get to her feet, Faith's head reeled with thoughts about the woman that she had just encountered. Whatever or whoever she was, she had to let Buffy know about what had just happened. And the next time they met, Faith would be ready.
