Authors Note~ You know, this story doesn't have much plot to it, does it?
Oh well, who cares? Later I have a character named Daina, and it's
pronounced the same as Dana.
Some of the writing in this story is a bit...choppy. It just wouldn't write, you know?
And I would answer some reviews, except I can't get to any of the places that show them right now, so that sucks. And I'm not exactly sure if it's 11:17 P.M. or A.M., so I'm going with whatever comes to mind first.
Disclaimer~ Do we really need these? They just suck, in the way I don't own any thing *pout*

~Chapter Four: Never Let A Librarian Bring Books~
London, Rebuilt Watchers Council, 11:17 P.M. June 7.
Ring Ring. Ring Ring.
"I'm coming!" Buffy wailed to the empty air. Figures the phone would ring when she was the only one around it. The others were off doing...whatever they do.
"Hello. This is the Academy of London for The Gifted, how may I help you?" She said pleasantly into the receiver.
"Buffy. Good." Willow's distinct voice came over the phone.
"Willow! How good to hear you! What's up?" She said the last sentence in a businesslike manner.
"Why would you say that?" Willow questioned her.
"Oh, nothing, just that this is the first time you called since you left."
"Well, you know, top secret stuff. Which is why I called, incidentally. You know, in the sense of the Big Bad, and I need you and the others of the Scooby Gang here in Colorado Springs by tomorrow. Try to get Faith here, and also some of the training Slayers. Ask Giles to bring some of his books about Egyptian gods. Can't say anything else, but it is big. Say hi to Tara and the rest for me. Bye." Willow hung up before Buffy could say anything else.
She looked at the receiver. "I hate when things like this happen." She murmured, before putting it back on the hook.
"Let me guess. Another Big Bad? You have that face on." Buffy looked up. Amanda was in the doorway, tray in her hands.
"Pretty much. So...want to come with me? I have to go visit Willow, and need to bring along some friends."
"Umm...no." Amanda shook her head, the scars from the Uber-vamps standing out. "I have magic lessons tomorrow, and I promised Andrew that I would watch all the Star Wars movies with him."
"Oh." Buffy turned and looked at the clock. "At 11:17? Do you know how long it's going to take to watch them?" She demanded.
Amanda shrugged, "Not as long as it'll be if I turn him down now." She lifted her tray, "Besides, that's why I have coffee." She left.
Buffy sighed. She probably should have asked Amanda to help her find some people around the house. It would be a bloody scavenger hunt, finding everybody in this house...
_____________________________________________________________________
Colorado, Cheyenne Mountain Complex, 6:18 A.M. June 7.
"...Bye." Willow hung up and turned to face the others in the room.
"Well, if I know Buffy she'll be coming. I would get some rooms ready for them. Also, Buffy and the rest of us really hate anything Military, from past experiences, so I would make sure not to go all 'The Military had to put you in Area 51 for observation,' and yada, yada, yada. Following?"
At their looks, she smiled, "I would also bring up their files, if I were you. Also, you should call the president on confirmation of my powers."
"But, wasn't this Buffy supposed to confirm your powers?" General Hammond looked at bit annoyed.
"Well, no, she's just going to help kill Sekhmet." At that, Willow left the room to go to the cafeteria.
She left the occupants a bit annoyed and flustered. SG-1 were there, the Tok'ra had elected to stay and see these 'Slayers', and General Hammond was in charge, so he had to be there.
"What does she mean, the president knows she is a witch." General Hammond asked in the following silence. He knew that the security guard would watch her.
"Wait." Sam seemed to have remembered something. "Major Davis said something to me, when we first hired her. Um, it was that she had some past experience with a top-secret organization, and she had said something about past experiences with something military. Chances are, she is a witch and the president knows it. I think you should call him. We," She pointed to all her other teammates, "Should bring up the files on them. Once we get all their names, of course."
Hammond nodded, "Do it." He got up and left, presumably to call the president.
"Oh, I think I'm going to shoot some targets." Jack didn't look happy at the prospect of computer work.
"Shoot some targets?" Gartieh asked.
Jacob answered him, "Its how we practice firing our weapons. The targets are pieces of paper."
"I do not understand."
Jack sighed, "Come on, I'll show you." He left the room, with Gartieh in tow. Jacob decided to join them.
"Um, I think I should go find Willow and ask her what she knows about Sekhmet." Daniel seemed to prefer bookwork compared to computers.
Sam looked at Teal'c.
"I believe I have a prior engagement." Teal'c nodded at Lashowe, before leaving.
That left Sam and the Tok'ra. She threw her hands in the air. "Why am I the one who always has to do the work?"
"I do not know." Martuf answered her.
"It was a rhetorical question." Sam brightened, "Well, at least you can help me."
"Well, I kind of don't understand how your technology works." He said nervously, before darting to the door.
"God! What is with them?" Sam sighed. SHE at least would get some work done. She left the room, and headed for her office.

Colorado Springs, 4:38 P.M. June 8.
Buffy looked around her. The town was a smallish one, but with a large population. She wondered if Willow would come and pick them up. Cuz they didn't have anywhere to go.
She looked back to the cars they had rented. Anya, Xander, Dawn, Tara, Giles, and herself were in the first car. Vi, Rona, Amanda Faith, and Daina were in the second. Daina was one of the best in the Academy, course she was one of the first to come to it. The other three had decided to stay with the Academy and train others instead of going with Faith, as Kennedy had. She was in charge back in Cleveland. Faith had come out of curiosity. Amanda had decided to tag along, after she had finished movies. Buffy privately thought Amanda changed her mind after spending at least seven hours straight with Andrew.
Her spidey-sense went off at that moment. She turned around to find two people facing her. One was a grayed hair man, and the other was a big African-American, with a cap on his head. He was the one of which her spidey-sense was warning her that he wasn't human.
"Yes?" Buffy arched her eyebrow.
"You Buffy Summers?" Gray Hair spoke.
"Maybe. You are?"
"Um, Jack, and this is...Murray." Murray nodded at her.
"And...you want what?"
"Well, if you are Buffy Summers, then Willow Rosenburg has a message."
At this point everyone had gotten out of the cars and had joined her.
"And Willow says what?"
"That I miss you and am glad to see you." Her voice came behind them. Buffy saw that Jack looked annoyed, before she spun and found Willow behind her.
"Willow!" Tara shouted and hugged her. Buffy and Dawn followed.
"I thought you were at lunch." Jack interrupted them.
Willow shrugged, "I finished and got bored. Sue me."
"How did you get past the security?" Murray asked.
"I didn't. I popped out."
"Popped?" Murray raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I have to get back, so I'll show you." Willow nodded at Buffy and the others, "You should follow them." Before she popped out.
"Whoa." Was Jacks only answer. Murray raised his other eyebrow.
"Anyways." Buffy shook her hair out of her face. "Murray. A question. Why are you not human?"
Murray's stare was the only answer she got.
_____________________________________________________________________
Colorado, Cheyenne Mountain Complex, 5:12 P.M. June 8.
Sam caught the General outside his office. He did not look happy.
"What's wrong?" She asked him.
"Well, Willow was right, about the President knowing she was a witch. He also knew about Slayers and the like. Apparently the organization that she had come in contact with was the Initiative."
"Oh. What else?"
He sighed. "The NID found out about her, and they want her and a Slayer to become their new science project. They want to find out how to harness their power. But the president is against it for once. Not that it would make a difference."
"Let me guess, the NID want to 'put them in Area 51 for observation.' Willow is not going to like this."
Hammond nodded. "You got that right. So major, what did you find out?"
"Well, the only people I could research are Buffy, Willow, and the Giles guy. Buffy—" She was cut off by an Airman coming up to them.
"Airman." The General nodded.
He saluted Hammond, "Sir, they arrived."
"Thank you, you may leave."
The Airman nodded and left.
Hammond looked at Sam. "Well, we better greet them. You should get Daniel; he'll definitely want to meet them, along with the Tok'ra."
______________________________________________________________________
Colorado Springs, 4:45. June 8.
"So where exactly are we going?" Xander asked Jack. He had volunteered to go in their car, as the rental cars were really small.
"The complex. Now be quiet." Jack was concentrating on driving. He had forgotten how Death Gliders were so much easier to fly.
"Um, Jack, I want to know. What rank in the Air Force are you?"
"Don't know what you're talking about."
"Okay, how about this. We are going to an Air Force secret base, and I know you're military. Now what rank?"
"You do know that you would learn that when we got to the base?"
"Well, yeah, but I just want you to know that I had some military training put in my head for one day. I can still assemble a M16 blindfolded in 20 seconds."
"I can do 16 seconds."
"Damn. Anyways, rank?"
"Do you ever give up?"
"No. Besides, what else is there to do?"
"Okay, okay, but if only to stop your mouth. I'm a colonel."
"Nice. I was a captain."
"I am most interested in how you turned into a soldier." Murray spoke up for the first time since their meeting.
"Well, there was this guy Giles knew from teen years, Ethan Rayne, who was this worshipper of chaos..." Jack tuned out of Xander's droning. He had to watch the road.
____________________________________________________________________
The three cars stopped at a mountain complex, in the Cheyenne Mountains. The words Cheyenne Mountain Complex were on the tunnel leading into the mountain. Various Air Force personnel were patrolling around it.
Jack, Xander, and Murray got out of the first car. Murray went up to the Sergeant that had approached them. The other two went to help take the baggage.
The girls had at least three bags each, and carried them with ease. The two men had packed considerably less. Giles, though had five rather large bags, when asked about had yielded the answer, "Books." Jack was sure that Daniel would consider him a god of books.
They walked the rest of the way to the elevator, and went down to the General's office.
Upon exiting the elevator, they were besieged by six people. The first three, a General, a Major, and another man were no threat, but the other three people instantly caused the six slayers to drop their baggage and take a defensive pose.
"Whoa, cool your jets." Jack ordered the girls.
"They are not human." Buffy answered for them.
The Major looked very interested, "You can tell that they aren't human?"
"If we couldn't tell who's human and who's not, we would be dead by now."
"B, they don't feel like a threat." Faith told her.
Buffy tilted her head and seemed to be listening to something. She finally nodded, "Your right Faith." The girls dropped their pose as if that was a cue, and picked up their dropped bags.
"You can tell if they are Tok'ra or Goa'uld?" The Major looked even more interested.
"Well, big, tall, and silent there, he himself does not feel like a threat to us, but, he has something in him that does. Is that what you mean?"
"Pretty much, yes."
"Ah. Where is Willow?" Buffy asked.
"Right here." Willow popped in next to them.
"Would you stop doing that?" Jack asked her.
"No." She told him. "Anyways, I think you should show them to their rooms, and continue the discussion later."
"And why should we listen to you?" Hammond demanded.
"Because some people want to use the elevator."
____________________________________________________________________
I think we can see why the NID would want to study them. Personally, in the show, the NID were really annoying, especially Maybourne, before he went all ex-military and sellout. Next chapter, Buffy is going to be negotiating with the General, and the NID is going to show up, with a new character. And Chandra will be in it, if I could manage it. Of course I have some slight writer's block, so it will be a while before its posted. But this isn't my best work, I'll admit.
Some of the writing in this story is a bit...choppy. It just wouldn't write, you know?
