Cousins of curiosity1

Meeting

"So when will your cousin arrive here." Xander asked impatiently.

"I don't know. She told me that she'd be here in about an hour or so. I hope everything is fine and she doesn't run into someone she'll regret meeting." Buffy answered.

"Did you tell your mother yet" Willow looked up from her laptop giving Buffy a confused look.

"I couldn't reach her. She's still working and not able to answer the phone. It'll be a nice surprise to see Linda again. We haven't seen her since I became a slayer. And even before that we hardly met each other. Her parents are very strict and responsible. and way too busy with attending church-services and doing police work to see some problems in their own family." Buffy explained this with a bit of anger. Certainly she'd been younger when her mother drove to Leesburg with her but she saw through this fake family-life. At that time Linda was too nice for a girl her age. One time Buffy even saw her climbing into the car of a man who seemed much older than her. The whole situation was rather strange to Buffy. Her own parents argued a lot which had been the reason for Buffy's mother to make that trip. Then Buffy and her mother left Leesburg realising, that the Danvers' family situation had been very similar to their own. The only difference was that they hid it more than the Summers.

"Your uncle is a policeman? Xander and Willow asked in unison taking Buffy out of her memories.

"Yeah and a very protective one. I'm surprised he even let Linda leave on her own and didn't ordered the whole police department to follow her."

Then the doorbell rang. Curiosity got the best of Willow. She ran to the door and opened it.

"Yes?"

"Excuse me. Is this the Summers' house?" A girl with brown hair asked.

"Yeah this is the Summers' residence. How may I help you?" Willow was back to normal once again. Her mind made extra hours. Maybe it was the lack of similarity but Willow expected someone else than the person standing outside. The girl in front of her had not much in common with the well fashioned slayer. Neither did her appearance fit to the well-behaving daughter of a policeman and a very religious woman. She seemed to be more the skating, who cares about fashion kind of girl with her brown baggy pants, yellow shirt and light-brown jacket. (No offence to Linda's fashion sense but that's what I thought the first time I saw her).

Willow looked her up and down stopping at the most uncanny eyes she's ever seen. The awkward moment stopped as the stranger started to talk with the voice of an angle.

"Hi I'm Linda. Is Buffy at home?"

"BUFFY" Willow screamed still fixed on Linda's eyes. Buffy appeared within seconds holding a kitchen knife in her hand.

"You screamed Will? Is there a danger? Oh.hi." Buffy hid the knife behind her back.

"Well That was the best 'Welcome Linda. I hope you stay for a while' I had in weeks" Linda said "I hope you don't greet every guest you have with a kitchen knife in your hand. Some might react frightened."

"Dawn Come down Linda's here" Now it was Buffy's time to scream. (AN: In my story Dawn is Buffy's real sister and Willow is together with Tara even though they don't live together. But that might change soon)

"Sorry Lin but you kind of surprised us. We didn't expect you to arrive that early. At the station they told us that the train from Leesburg had some trouble and wouldn't make it within an hour." Buffy stated.

"Well yeah the train had to stop before Sunnydale because they had trouble with the brakes or something like that. Long story short I walked a bit and then took a taxi and so here I'm. Do you want to introduce me to your friend here or is starring at me more comfortable to you?" Linda smiled at Willow forming the word Manners with her mouth. Willow smiled back waiting for Buffy to make the next move.

"Oh yeah. Linda the red-head is Willow Rosenberg my best friend and Roommate at University. Willow that's my cousin Linda Danvers who likes to appear out of nowhere." Willow flushed a bit and shook hands with Linda. 'Strange I've never felt something like this before. There's something odd about Buffy's cousin. She's pure and dark at the same time. It's like there are two beings inside her. Two beings that are one non the less. I should keep an eye on her. Who knows sometimes there are bad people in the own family.' Thought Willow.

'Interesting friends you have cousin. I didn't expect to find a with that close to my cousin. I wonder if Buffy knows about her powers. But the way she reacted when Willow screamed her name.I'm sure she hides something. I should be careful when I sneak out to punch some evildoers." Linda thought smiling. Since she had her big encounter with Buzz and Tempest she's developed a certain feeling for magic and their users.

Then they all went in side to talk to each other and have some fun.
