25 Cliff Mountain Road, Sunnydale, CA.
Team Abstract pulled their SUV up to the gates of the mansion, the gates opened & they drove upto the ruins of the mansion there, the team climbed out looking around trying to find what was happening.
"Ok where are they?" Cloe James asked.
"Who would live here?" Lucas asked.
"We would." Alex said stepping out of the ruin accompanied by Rana, Amy, Andrea & Richie. "You would be the new Bureau 13 team, that Horace sent here right?"
"Yes I am Lara Standing this Ryan Mack my second & Cloe James our team's resident mages." Lara said introducing herself. "& this is Lucas Raven our team's computer expert."
"Hey I am Alex, that is Rana & Amy." Alex said introducing herself & those she called her sisters. "The other two are James Diablo (Richie's current identity) & Andrea Russell, both of whom are Rangers."
"Ok so where is your base?" Lara asked seriously.
"Follow us." Alex answered.
"Door." Alex called out, producing the dimensional doorway to the carrier. "If you will follow us we will show you."
Alex & the others stepped through the doorway, followed by the Team Abstract rather nervously, unsure what was happening.
"Welcome to the Carrier ship." Alex said leading the way to the conference centre. "This ship is in orbit of the Earth, existing between dimensions, in what is called the dimensional bleed, meaning we can bring the ship out onto our Earth or into another dimension should we wish."
"This is an amazing base." Lara said looking around. "Anyway to why we are here, we suspect the killings were perpetuated by the visiting members of the Watcher's Council."
"Yes we suspected that as well." Alex replied.

15th January 1999. Xavier's School for the Gifted, Westchester, New York.
Logan made his way down the stairs of the school, heading toward the entrance of the school, he secured the use of the School's jeep for his travelling purposes. Though he had arranged for a SHIELD pick-up for him just outside of the school, the pick-up could take the jeep as well, allowing the use of the jeep for him while in Sunnydale.
Logan spotted Scott & Marie standing the entrance waiting, moving his shoulder bag so it rested more comfortably on his right shoulder, he made his way down the rest of the stairs.
"Hello Logan." Scott said nodding his head.
"Cyke what is this a going away party?" Logan asked seriously.
"I am here to see you off." Marie said tucking her white streak behind her ear & carefully hugging Logan being careful to not allow skin to skin contact. "Take care of yourself ok Logan?"
"I will." Logan replied turning to Scott. "& you Cyke?"
"I have found I have possible family near LA." Scott replied. "Professor Xavier has approved the use of a unijet, so when do you wish to leave?"
"My trip is of a private nature." Logan replied & Scott nodded. "We will travel together if you want, but after that just stay out of my way, & we won't have a problem."
"Fine whatever." Scott answered. "When do you want to leave?"
"Go prepare the jet I need to cancel my previous travelling arrangements." Logan answered & Scott nodded, & Scott left & Logan pulled his mobile dialling his SHIELD contact number. "This Wolverine I need to speak with Fury."
"One moment sir." A SHIELD agent stated.
"What do you want now Logan?" Fury asked.
"I need not the use of the transport arranged." Logan answered. "I will also have company to LA, Summers may well have family in LA, & he is going looking for them."
"You cannot expose our relationship." Fury stated seriously.
"I know Fury & I will take steps not too." Logan replied. "Besides he may not come near Sunnydale at all, & I have stated that he should stay out of my way."
"Good." Fury said ending the call.
Logan shut down his mobile phone, then made his way to the X-Facilities secure entrance, taking the lift down to X-Men's hangar, finding the black bird & 2 unijets. Seeing Scott prepping the closest the jet, he made his way over dropping his bag besides Scott's.
"Everything ok Cyke?" Logan asked.

The Library, Sunnydale High School, Sunnydale, CA.
Buffy & Amy entered the library discussing patrol last night, nothing unusual had been discovered at all, what worried Amy was that none of her people had discovered anything either. But the information they had received made it look like, there would be killings every night for the rest of the week, so Amy had the others searching all records for anything that could be linked to the killings.
"So what you got planned for today?" Buffy asked.
"Not much usual with lessons but apart from that, I have a computer science project I have to get finished by the end of tomorrow." Amy replied & Buffy nodded. "Did you guys have any luck researching those symbols last night?"
"No nothing from our books." Buffy replied. "Willow was checking the net for anything last night."
"Good idea." Amy replied, but she knew it wouldn't find anything.
The others had had Acena searching the entire web for the symbol.
"Why do you come here so early?" Amy asked.
"Training." Buffy replied. "Travers wants to do some mental & physical with me."
"Mind if I sit down & watch?" Amy asked seriously.
"I am afraid I would mind." Quentin said stepping out of the office. "I believe having you here would distract Miss Summers, & this is an evaluation of Miss Summer's abilities as a slayer, the Council wish to know how her abilities have developed since her calling."
"Of course I apologise." Amy said leaving the library.
Allowing the door to close, & taking a micro transmitter & attaching it too the library window to record what was happening inside.
She smiled to herself then made her way to the computer lab.

Scott & Logan landed their unijet, parking it in a private hangar.
"I will see you around Scott." Logan said grabbing his bag. "I have my phone ring me when you are done, if I am not ready I will make my own way back to Westchester."
"Not a problem Logan." Scott said grabbing his own bag. "Take care Logan it wouldn't be the same if something happened too you at the school, & as for Marie I don't even want to go there you know."
"Yeah I know & I will be." Logan said standing at the hangar's entrance, with a lit cigar in his mouth. "I hope you find the family you are looking for Scott, I know what it is like when you don't have any family to care for."
"I hope so." Scott replied turning to pick up his bag turning back he found Logan already gone. "Damn I hate it when he does that."
Scott secured the unijet left, cloaked it & left the hangar locking it after him.

Hank's Summers, Wolfram & Hart's Office, Los Angles, CA.
Hank sat behind his desk examining the reports from Sunnydale, the activities of the demon populations, the humans allying themselves with the darkness, & those that fought to protect the human race from the darkness in Sunnydale. He was amused by the reports of humans saving lives, especially of the 'bitch' that was supposedly his eldest daughter, the plans of his master were advancing nicely.
Moments later Lilah Morgan & Lindsey McDonald entered his office.
"Mr Summer." Lilah said with respect as she & Lindsey sat opposite him. "You summoned for us sir?"
"Good." Hank said placing his current files down. "Our plans for Sunnydale are progressing nicely at the moment, what do you have to report concerning our other projects?"
"Our projects in San Francisco, are progressing nicely." Lilah replied. "Though there are several, possible renegades growing in power in the town, including that of the Halliwell's sisters & several possible factions within the police department."
"Yes well have our agents watch & monitor them for now." Hank replied & Lilah nodded. "Our other projects are too important for the moment, so unless they become a direct threat to our future plans, we will not interfere with them for now."
"Of course sir." Lilah answered.
"What of the Trinity?" Hank asked turning to Lindsey.
"They along with their allies have gone to ground." Lindsey stated & Hank nodded. "We have our suspicision were the Mage maybe, but as for the other two we have no idea at all."
"Find them immediately." Hank stated. "They are the only threat to our plans, they are the ones that can gather an army to mount against our lords, they must be found & removed before they can fulfil their seen destinies. If they are present in the final battle, we will lose & everything we have planned will fall."
"Of course." Lindsay said as he & Lilah rose.
"Sir there is a Scott Summers here to see you sir." Mary Diall Hank's secretary said over the intercom. "He insists on seeing you sir, says he is your brother's son & wishes to know where his aunt & niece's are."
"Tell him Mary where they are, tell that freak where the bitch & her two daughter's are." Hank said over the intercom. "& you make sure that security never let that freak back in this building."

Willie's Bar, Sunnydale, CA.
Logan walked into the bar an hour after sunset, ignoring the looks he got from those others in the bar, he made way over to the bar sitting on top of a stool waiting for service.
"What do you want sir?" Willie asked.
"Bottle of beer, double shot whiskey." Logan answered producing a hundred dollar bill. "& information concerning the killings in this towns, the teenage girls sacrificed recently, I want to know who is doing it & why?"
"Best advice I can give you is to get out." Willie stated. "People who pokes there noises into something, don't get to walk away from here without getting hurt sir. So just walk out of here & you weren't get hurt."
"Well that isn't my problem." Logan answered. "So I want to know what you can tell me?"
"We don't want you here." A vampire demanded.
"Tough shit." Logan said slicing the vampire's head off with his right hand's top claw.
"Bad move." A quake demon said moving toward's Logan.
"I don't want trouble here." Logan said picking up the bottle of beer Willie's placed in front of him.
"Get lost." A Nork demon stated.
Half a dozen demons & half dozen vampires jumped Logan, Logan's claws sprung out of his hands, slicing off two of the vampire's heads, & diving into the mess of the other vampire & demons. Ten minutes Logan sat himself back at the bar, leaving half a dozen demons dead bodies, & gulped down his whiskey.
"So what you got for me?" Logan asked smiling.
"Not much is known." Willie answered terribly scared this guy was worse than the slayer. "All we know is that the girls all had potentials for magics in them, & they were killed to get that magic which was drained off. No one is quite sure who though, some say someone related to city hall some say someone from the Watcher's Council."
"Well thank you." Logan answered enjoying his beer. "So where are the council representive at the moment?"

"Yes Christopher is Hank's brother." Joyce replied looking at the man intently. "Little Scotty, little Scotty Summers is that you?"
"Yes Aunt Joyce." Scott replied smiling. "It has been a few years hasn't it."
"Not since Christopher & Anne disappeared 10 years ago." Joyce replied. "Have you Alex with you?"
