Daddy Dearest Fights Aliens
Chapter Two
Surprisingly enough he took it good. He had faced a vampire a few years back and had gotten saved by the all familiar Kendra. I told him the story of Kendra when he asked. So we talked and I decided suddenly.
"I'll go to Colorado with you," I said.
He seemed relieved and when he smiled I knew he was.
"Can I ask you something and hope you won't get to offended?" He asked and I could tell he didn't want to ruin what we had recently built.
"Sure," I said feeling the same way.
"What happened?" He asked
A question with no specifics, but I knew what he meant.
"Maybe sometime else. Now's not the time," I said and he nodded.
We were both on a plane headed towards Colorado. I didn't say goodbye to my friends -except Giles. I had given him letters to give to the gang and he understood. I was tired of the council and quit. They weren't to happy, but it turns out since Kendra was killed another slayer was called and she was going to be in Sunnydale next week to take my place.
"You holdin' up okay?" Dad asked me
I had taken to calling him dad easier than we both thought and it was good for both of us.
"As good as I have been," I said.
I had to tell him. It's been bugging me for awhile.
"He's dead," I said.
"Who?" He asked puzzled.
"You asked earlier what happened between Angel and I, and he's dead. After he turned into Angelus and pried on us we had the final sward fight. Acathla had his vortex open. Angel got the pointy end of the sward and got sucked in. So that's why I ran away last summer. Plus the fact that my mom flipped when I told her about the Slayer-ness and told me never to come back again so......" I trailed off.
I went back to looking out the window and I felt my dad put his hand on mine comfortingly. I turned back to him with tears in my eyes. The whole thing ended up with me having my head on his shoulder while he stroked my hair.
Sometime later I found myself in the car heading to dad's place. Must have carried me out. I only had a duffel bag so... I sat up and saw that it was dark out.
"You're awake," He said. "Thought you were gonna be out for awhile."
"It's beautiful," I said looking at the scenery lit up by the full moon.
Full moon. Oz will be locked up as usual tonight. I wonder who will be on wolf watch tonight.
"Yeah, I guess it is," He said. "You can turn on the radio if you want, unless you're a Christian music girl then don't you even try."
I smiled a weak smile again and then turned on the radio. Right away Last Train Home started playing. I leaned back and noticed that in my hand was my journal, not opened.
"I saw that you always carried it around so I thought you'd want it with you when you woke up," He said.
"Thanks," I said.
Then a cell phone ring pierced the air. I turned off the radio and dad answered it.
"O'Neill.....um the summons was for nothing important," He winked at me mischievously and I sustained a chuckle, "I just got a few old knick- knacks......When?....Look I have a guest with me......Get back to me in an hour Carter."
He hung up.
"Waiting for the surprise factor?" I asked.
"More or less. I'm hoping I can show you around but we need to get you clearance," Dad said.
"With the Army?" I asked and He nodded, "I think I might already have some clearance or at least I may have pissed off a few higher ups."
He raised an eyebrow at me.
"There was this thing called the initiative and it was an army thing. So long story short, Saved their asses and they closed the program. I helped train a few people," I said.
Dad laughed, "This is going to be interesting."
The phone rang again.
"Carter I thought I told you.......debriefing? For what?.......well then tell the General that I found someone here that might help us a bit.........You'll have to wait to see who Carter...see you in five minutes."
He hung up.
"Is that your way of asking me into the fight?" I smirked.
"Do you accept?" he asked smirking back.
"Is it close to slaying?" I asked.
"Very," dad replied.
"I accept," I said.
"Well then," he said as we pulled up to gates, "Welcome to Cheyenne Mountain."
My eyes widened a bit as I was instantly impressed.
"Don't be intimidated," Dad said to me as we walked down a hallway to the doors at the end.
"Dad. I do this for a living. Think," I said and he smiled then led me into the conference room.
I saw a familiar face.
"Riley?" I asked as he said "Buffy?"
"Colonel?" A bald guy asked taking the attention of Riley and I.
"Everyone I'd like you to meet my daughter. Buffy, and she's here to help us," Jack said.
"Damn," Riley said and everyone -including me- looked at him, "You kick ass and I know it. Just saying what I- okay I'll shut up now."
"Please," I said back to him rolling my eyes. "You have personal experience of me kicking your ass. Let's not go for a 5th time."
"Hold it. Daughter?" A girl asked.
"How about we get some intros done here," I said.
"Take a seat and we can begin," Baldy said.
Names went around the table.
"How do you know Riley?" Carter asked.
"Initiative," Riley answered.
"Plus I kicked his ass pretty bad. That makes an impression," I said pointedly to Riley.
"Excuse me but I don't quite understand how you kicked his ass, so to speak," Teal'c said.
"How about we have that rematch instead of me explaining totally," I said to Riley and he nodded.
He took off his vest and we stood.
"I would stand against the wall if I were you," Riley suggested to the group.
Then the fight started.
"Pinned ya," I smirked.
"Damn," He muttered. "You been working out more?"
I helped him up with a smile, "If I say yes I know you only want that so you have an excuse for losing...again."
"Ms. O'Neill an explanation," Hammond said.
Name was much better. I didn't get the principal office trouble feeling from it. Sweet.
"Dad you explain it. I'm not doing it again in less than a day," I said.
"My daughter here kicks ass cos she is a chosen warrior called the Slayer who fights Demons, Vampires and...." He looked at me.
"Any other baddies," I added.
"Right," He said and then everyone was looking at us with an eyebrow raised.
"Okay," I said, "Into each generation, a slayer is born. One girl in all the world, a Chosen One. One born with the strength and skill to fight the vampires, to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. Basically I'm that girl. But the one girl part isn't so true anymore cos now there's two slayers."
"And that happened how?" Daniel asked.
"I died," Seeing their expressions I rushed to say, "For two minutes. I was drowned then Xan brought me back. But I'm here so no big."
"Sure no big," Riley smirked earning him a elbow to the gut.
"And that's how I thought she can help," Dad said.
"I agreed to help as long as you'll let me," I said.
"How much do you know?" Hammond asked.
"Well I know Teal'c has something wiggy dealing with him cos my spider sense is going wonky. Other than that Dad hasn't told me anything," I said.
"Spider sense?" Daniel asked.
"I can sense Vamps, Demons, and now apparently whatever the big guy over there is," I said.
"Do you promise to keep everything you hear here private and not to tell anyone outside of this base?" Hammond asked.
"Hold up," I said then turned to dad who had sit next to me. I whispered, "The gang is gonna have to know. Willow is probably doin' some Wicca mojo to check up on me. If I suddenly can't be found she'll panic. And my friends panicked is not a good sight. All I would talk to them about is telling' them I'd be somewhere and that if we needed help researching or something cos I can't break of ties."
Dad leaned back in his chair, "Buffy has some friends about 4 of them that help her fight and that help with research. Those would be the only other four."
"They won't tell anyone. There's no one to tell first off," Riley said.
"You're backing up the Scooby gang. Are you high?" I asked Riley.
"Funny," He said back sarcastically.
"Wasn't trying to get with the funnies," I said back.
"You said 4. Willow, Xander, Giles, and who else?" Riley asked questioningly.
Damn it. I counted Angel.
"Perhaps Vamp boy?" Riley asked.
"That's it Captain cardboard You're going down," I said starting to stand and he did also.
Dad pulled me down lightly.
"Or perhaps Peroxide brains?" Riley smirked again.
I didn't get up. I just took my stake from my belt and with the non-pointed side hit (throwing it hard as hell) Riley's goody bag.
"Change that to three people," I said ignoring Riley's groan.
"Buffy?" Dad asked.
"Angel," I said.
"Right," Dad said then said to the rest, "I think Finn should be excused until he learns not to piss off Buffy-"
"Oh he won't learn. It's been a year and he hasn't huh?" I asked the now standing Riley.
"Not when it comes to those who protect evil," Riley said.
"He's wasn't evil!" I said.
"Tell it to Ms. Calendar," Riley said handing me my stake then walking out.
There was a deadly silence.
"Buff-" Dad started.
"Tell me what I need to know," I said. "Just start telling me who's ass I get to kick while imagining It's Riley."
Teal'c had taken Buffy for a tour of the base while the rest of the group was still in the conference room.
"What's the deal with her past?" Carter asked.
"She fell in love with this guy name Angel. He was a vampire with a human soul making him different then your typical Vamp. He was told to help protect her. But there was a loophole in the curse that gave him the soul. If he ever had one moment of perfect happiness then the soul gets taken away. Um......something happened between the two of them and he lost his soul. She ended up sending him to hell," Jack said.
"Something bein- oh," Daniel said realizing it.
Carter smiled along with the other two.
"And then her mom died so......"
"Who's Ms. Calendar?" Hammond asked.
"Was my computer teacher that my watcher was dating," I said walking in. "Wasn't to happy with her for awhile but then Angelus killed her. Having a fun discussion about me?"
"Well we want to get to know our colonel's daughter," Carter smiled.
I nodded. "Well the big guy and I are gonna fight so we just wanted to tell you incase you wanted to watch."
They looked at me like I was stupid.
"I challenged him people. Bye," I said then walked out into the hallway where Teal'c was.
The others quickly came out and we went outside to a grassy area. Teal'c tossed me a staff. My eyes lit up.
"Fun," I said to myself getting used to the weight.
I took out my stake and journal and handed them to my dad. Then the fight began
The group watched and nearby soldiers who knew Teal'c came over and watched. They two eventually moved so fast you couldn't make out them too well.
"Who is he fighting sir?" A soldier asked.
"My daughter," Jack smirked.
Then it ended as a staff went flying and Buffy had the tip of hers against Teal'c's chest.
"Pretty good. Like to train with you sometime," Buffy said.
"I'd be honored," Teal'c answered bowing a bit.
"Sweet," Buffy said.
