--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buffy and Faith stepped inside the door, stopping at the security station where two men sat, one watching numerous security monitors, "Colonel? But you came in earlier," frowned the second looking at 'Maybourne' in confusion.

"Damn," said 'Maybourne' lifting his briefcase, both security guards were down before they could react. "Faith let the others in; Willow and Major Carter can use these computers to access the system."

"Right," agreed Faith returning to the door they entered by, "We got you your computer room," she said looking at the redhead and Major Carter, before turning back to Buffy who had watched the two unconscious guards as well as the corridor.

Jack turned to everyone as Sam and Willow entered, heading for the computers, "Teal'c and I will watch their backs, the rest of you stay here," he told them following the two women.

Before the door could close, Riley placed duct tape over the lock to allow them easy access.

'Maybourne' and 'Doctor Hoven' proceeded down the corridor, occasionally meeting others coming out of various rooms, but no one stopped to question them and they reached the end without further incident. At the end they were confronted by another security station, not wasting anytime they quickly tazered them into unconsciousness.

As Buffy secured the two men, Faith contacted the others, "Okay we're at the elevator, you better start moving..." just then the door closest to them opened and a woman stepped out, without hesitating Faith fired her tazer sending her back into the doorway, where she slumped to the ground and another woman inside the room screamed, "Damn! You better hurry; the bad guys know we're here."

She released the mic and moved to the doorway where she met a quite large man coming the other way; he held a gun at the ready. Faith brought the tazer's butt up into his face sending him staggering back into the room before firing at him and the other woman speaking rapidly into the telephone.

By this time Faith began to hear gunshots coming from down the corridor, one hitting the doorframe just above her head, she ducked into the room before turning and beginning to return fire at the shooters several doors down. From her position, she could see the others making their way towards her, but they too were under fire, but no general alarm sounded.

Using overlapping support fire the others slowly made their way down the corridor towards the slayers, meanwhile Buffy joined Faith in holding off the two or three agents firing at the brunette, "Faith keep their heads down," said Buffy just loud enough for her girlfriend to hear.

"You got it B," said Faith firing five blasts in quick succession managing to drop one of the agents as Buffy sprinted down the other side of the corridor reaching the first door in seconds and downing the two agents just as Faith managed to take out the last.

Wasting no time to secure them Buffy rejoined her girlfriend and arrived back at the lobby just as three men and a woman ran into the room via the stairs. The slayers reacted faster then the agents, downing two of the men and the woman before the doors swung shut behind them, the last managing to dive behind the security desk.

The slayers split up alternating tazer fire to keep the last agent's head down, as he quickly raised his head and aimed at Faith; Buffy hit him from the other side. Less than a minute later Riley and Samantha entered the lobby, sweeping their eyes around the room, "You ok?" he asked looking at 'Maybourne'.

"Yeah," said Buffy giving her ex and his wife a small smile as she rose from securing the second unconscious NID agent as Faith watched the door to the stairs leading up to the offices.

As the others began to drift into the lobby Samantha helped Buffy finish securing the agents and Riley watched the door leading to the other sub-level.

Willow, Sam and O'Neill were the last to arrive, "Everyone is tied up," announced the Colonel.

"I placed a lock spell on the exit, so you don't have to worry about anyone else entering," Willow told Xander, who nodded.

"Let's go then," said Buffy, "We'll go first; it could confuse the bad guys."

"Right," nodded Giles in agreement, "But leave any major group to us, your only job is to get to Dawn and the others," he reminded the slayers.

"Okay guys let's go," said Buffy leading Faith, Manda and Teal'c through the door and down the stairs.

As they pushed through the double doors at the bottom, they were confronted by two men in combat gear holding M16's, before the soldiers could react Buffy and Faith tazered them, and Teal'c and Manda shot two more down one of the corridors. Not waiting, the four warriors turned to their right and rushed towards the holding cells.

As they ran they would occasionally meet someone coming out of a side door, never slowing they just fired a tazer or zat charge at them and left them where they fell, by the time they reached the holding cells a dozen or so people lay unconscious behind them.

Buffy typed the code into the security lock leading to the holding block as the others watched the corridor, she pushed the door open and she and Faith quickly entered while Manda and Teal'c stood guard at the door. The two slayers growled in frustration, all the cells were empty!

Teal'c reached for his radio mic.

--------------

The other two teams moved together down yet another corridor, they had had to fight all the way. Jack, Sam and Daniel were slightly unnerved at the sight of Willow and Tara stood unconcerned in the middle of the corridor studying the blueprints as everyone else took whatever cover they could from the NID agents further down the corridor returning fire.

"Will you two PLEASE get under cover," shouted O'Neill from the doorway he was using.

Willow smirked at him, "Why? They can't hurt us!"

"Because you're putting me off, just standing there," he said missing another shot, "See," he growled.

"This is getting us nowhere," growled Tara with unusual intensity, the worry for Dawn's safety as well as the things Willow had described to her from her 'trip' through Cordelia's vision playing on her mind.

"I know baby," said Willow grabbing the blonde's hand, "I feel it too, but what do you suggest?"

"A spell, to send them to sleep."

"But wouldn't that be against the Rede?" asked the redhead, a worried look coming to her face.

"That depends on where we are coming from!" pointed out Tara, "Colonel O'Neill and his people are killing some, if we make them sleep we would be saving their lives, even if we haven't got their permission to do a spell on them!"

Tara's musing was interrupted at that moment by the radios on the SGC members shoulders going off and Teal'c' voice, "O'Neill, the holding cells are all empty."

Tara turned back towards her girlfriend, having turned to listen to the message, "And we still need to find Dawn."

"Okay, let's do it," said Willow, she let the blueprints fall from her hand and took Tara's other hand in hers.

They lowered themselves to the floor and sat cross-legged in the middle of the fire-fight still going on. Still holding hands an intense look of concentration appeared on their faces as they reached out with their combined minds to the NID agents blocking their search.

"What are they doing," asked Jack in frustration.

"They're gonna put all the bad guys to sleep," answered Cordelia from her crouching position next to him as her body began to sense the build-up of magick.

As the two Witches extended their range they sensed a dozen or so agents moving up behind them, all told they sensed over three dozen 'hostile' minds and about a dozen 'neutral' ones, they included these in the spell just in case.

Giles, Angel and Cordelia, the only magick sensitives, other than Willow and Tara, could feel the tremendous build up of mystical energy around the Witches, Cordelia happened to glance at Daniel, from the look on his face, he could also sense it, "It probably has something to do with your ascension!" said the brunette quietly.

"Huh!" said Daniel looking at the Seer curiously.

"You sense the magick," she explained, "I said it probably has to do with being a higher being for a time."

"I can't really respond to that as I have never experienced it before... that I remember anyway!" mused Daniel, "Does it always feel so intense?"

"No," answered Cordelia, "But Willow and Tara are building up a large amount, it will probably knock out the bad guys for days, unless someone physically wakes them," she told him.

Willow felt as if she was floating on a sea of magickal energy, she began to feel euphoric; it had been years since she had channelled so much power, she began to frown as she tried to remember the last time she felt like this. Then it hit her, Tara and Buffy had been shot and she had allowed the magick to have free rain. She began to panic, the energy began to change, it began to consume her...

Then SHE was there beside her holding her head above the surface, "It will never own you again my love, you belong to me, I am here," came Tara's voice, little more than a whisper but it drowned out everything else.

Willow clung to the voice, slowly regaining her control, her eyes opened and she smiled at her girlfriend, who like herself was surrounded by a white aura. They released the built-up energy, sending it in all directions.

To O'Neill it seemed like someone had set off a flashgun in his face for several seconds all he could see were spots, 'We just have to get these girls to help with the Goa'uld, they could probably fry Anubis before he knew he was dead!' he thought blinking to try and clear his vision.

As everyone began to cautiously leave there positions, Willow and Tara helped each other off the floor, the redhead immediately hugged the blonde, planting a gentle kiss on her lips. Looking into each other's eyes, no words were really needed, but Willow said them anyway, "Thanks baby, I love you with all my heart," she giggled, "Marry me," she said.

"Y-yes baby, I'll marry you."

Willow hugged Tara again, "Maybe we could make it a double wedding with Buffy and Faith," she suggested.

"W-we could a-ask them," smiled Tara releasing the redhead. "But first let's find Dawnie and the others."

"How long will they be out?" asked O'Neill somewhat awed at what he had seen.

Willow turned from her contemplation of Tara's face to look at the Colonel, "Several days, maybe a week if no one wakes them, it's not like normal sleep it acts like stasis, their bodies will not age or die of thirst or lack of food. Someone should probably tie up the ones we met before the spell, only conscious minds were affected," Willow explained.

"Yes," put in Giles, "Colonel, maybe yourself, Angel, Spike and myself can do that while the rest carry on the search for our friends!" he suggested.

"Okay," agreed Jack, he turned to Sam, "Carter radio if you run into anything," he told her.

"Of course sir," smiled Sam leading the remainder of the group up the corridor.

"O'Neill to Teal'c," said Jack into his radio.

"Teal'c here," came the Jaffa's voice over the radio.

"Our witch friends just put everyone else to sleep, ignore any you find; unless you wake them they will remain asleep. We are securing all those we met before the spell thingy, O'Neill out," said Jack. He looked at Giles, "We better include the agents that had us pinned down here just in case," he nodded towards the sleeping men.

"Yes probably prudent," agreed Giles starting to walk towards the unconscious agents the rest of the group were just passing.

--------------

Buffy and Faith continued to lead Manda and Teal'c down the corridor towards medical, where they hoped to find the three young women. Things had gone a lot quicker now that Willow and Tara had put everyone to sleep.

Rounding a corner they were confronted by a set of double doors guarded by two, now unconscious, guards both heavily armed, pushing open the doors they expected to find any others inside in a similar condition but what they found was an altogether different story.

Three men in dark suites, two with handguns, a 'plump' Air Force Colonel, that Manda could see must be the real Maybourne, who was also armed and a soldier Buffy vaguely recognised and a 'man' in a white lab coat that looked like Faith. "Drop your weapons or your friend here dies," said the 'man', having momentarily been confused at seeing himself enter. He held a gun to Kennedy's head, who was strapped to a chair.

"And contact Colonel O'Neill and tell him to bring everyone here," said the grey haired man in a suit.

"Pull that trigger and you'll all die before the bullet finishes moving," growled Buffy.

"Not very likely," said the grey haired man, "And as I understand it slayers aren't supposed to kill humans!"

"Strictly speaking, yes," said Buffy smiling sweetly, "But accidents do happen as a former deputy mayor of the town I grew up in found out. And as head of the Council I can forgive myself and friends."

"And your friend there ain't human anyways," put in Faith.

"And I am not a slayer," pointed out Teal'c.

"No, but you would all have a problem explaining why you killed the next Vice President," pointed out the grey haired man.

"And you would have to explain how you came to be involved in an illegal NID operation involving kidnapping and illegal experiments on young women," pointed out Buffy.

"Be sensible young lady, no one would ever know any of this happened," countered the grey haired man, "Now please tell Colonel O'Neill to bring everyone here."

Buffy nodded to Teal'c, who was looking at her for guidance, he pressed his mic button, "O'Neill, we have found one of the young women, she has a gun pointed at her head and Senator Kinsey wishes you to bring everyone here."

Maybourne looked confusedly at the Doctor then at the slayers, "What do you mean he is not human," he queried wondering if the Doctor could be a Goa'uld.

"We don't know what he is but he isn't human," Buffy told them.

"How come you're awake anyway?" asked a curious Faith still holding her gun pointed at the two bodyguards.

"Doctor Hoven here," said Kinsey looking over at the 'man' a little nervously now, "Woke us after we were overcome by the gas you released. How did you get it into the ventilation system anyway? As I understand it each section has its own system."

Buffy looked intensely at the Senator, she then looked at the 'man' she cracked an eyebrow, "Wouldn't you like to know," she said, trying to work out what he was! "Where's my sister?" she asked.

"Close-by," said Maybourne, Buffy noticed that the Colonel was trying to edge away from the 'man'.

"And Cassandra Fraiser?" asked Teal'c, who could also sense the Doctor was not human but also knew he was not a Goa'uld.

"Also close-by. If you want to see them again, you'll drop the weapons," put in the 'man'.

At that moment the doors behind the four warriors burst open and Willow and Tara literally came floating into the room holding hands followed shortly by the others, "Drop your guns, NOW," thundered their voices in the minds of the three men in suits and Colonel Maybourne, but not in Doctor Hoven's.

"I'd do as they ask if I were you," said Jack smirking at Maybourne flinching, "I've been on the receiving end when these two get angry," he said exchanging a smirk with Daniel.

Doctor Hoven looked at the two women, "Your powers won't work on me," he smiled evilly.

Willow's gaze fell on him, "Maybe not," she agreed, she made a gesture, "Release," she said.

Kennedy felt the straps holding her arms and legs unbuckle, she wasted no time in bringing her fist up to knock the gun aimed at her head to one side then as she sprang out of the chair she delivered a roundhouse kick to Hoven's head, sending him across the room.

The moment the other three slayers saw Kennedy begin to move they fired their tazers at Colonel Maybourne and the two men in suits.

Although Teal'c did not have slayer reactions, nevertheless he was a warrior born and breed, a second after the slayers fired he fired at the other soldier who was looking at the large Jaffa as if asking him to fire.

Senator Kinsey made to bend and retrieve one of his bodyguards' gun, "Oh please try, you have no idea how much I would enjoy shooting you," came Colonel O'Neill's voice from near the doors. Kinsey looked up to see the evil glint in the Colonel's eyes; he slowly straightened and held his hands away from his body.

"Secure them," ordered Buffy never taking her eyes off the creature that was rising off the floor, she and Faith moved to flank Kennedy, "What type of creature are you?" she asked him.

"Me-ng ina Sag'éd Me nam sa itti du sa ina amelnakru su'ati eseru memin erset la tari." hissed Doctor Hoven as he activated some kind of device, the air behind him shimmered slightly and before anyone could stop him, he dived through some kind of portal, as he did so they saw his human form shimmer into that of a large reptile!

"Daniel!" Jack prompted his team's linguist.

"Ah I'm not sure it sort of sounded like Sumerian! But slightly different, it could be the original root language!" mused Daniel.

"It was the Forbidden language," put in Giles taking off his glasses and cleaning them.

"Forbidden?" queried Daniel.

Willow, Tara and the slayers looked at each other frowning before Buffy turned to her Watcher, "What are you talking about?" she asked.

"We are talking about the language the creature that appeared as Doctor Hoven was speaking, what else do you think we were talking about?" Giles said unsure why his slayer was asking such a foolish question.

"But we understood it fine. Why couldn't you?" said Buffy.

"You understood it? How?" asked Giles intensely.

Buffy shrugged her shoulders, "How should I know you're the Watcher."

"So what did he say?" asked Daniel.

"Me-ng ina Sag'éd Me nam sa itti du sa ina amelnakru su'ati eseru memin erset la tari," said Buffy.

"We know that but what does it mean in English?" said Jack sarcastically.

"I just told you," growled Buffy, "Me-ng ina Sag'éd Me nam sa itti du sa ina amelnakru su'ati eseru memin erset la tari."

"Buffy listen carefully," said Giles gently, "Whatever language you are speaking you are not converting it to English, and you say the six of you can understand it!" he asked looking at the slayers and witches.

"Yeah Giles," put in Willow, "I guess it's like when you learn another language, when you become very good at it your mind stops having to convert the words back into English, your brain just knows what is being said," she explained.

"So what you are saying is that for whatever reason your minds are incapable of converting this language into English... or any other?" Giles deduced.

"Yeah," nodded Buffy. "But let's do this later; we still need to find Dawn."

Giles glanced at Daniel who had the same curious look on his face before looking back at Buffy, "Very well, do you think you will be able to remember what the creature said?" he asked.

"Of course Giles," nodded the blonde.

"All right," he said, then looked at Senator Kinsey, "Where are Dawn and Ms Fraiser?" asked Giles allowing Ripper to peek out.

Kinsey pointed to one of the doors, "Through there," he said. "Wh-what was that thing?" he asked.

"Sag'éd," said Buffy over her shoulder as she made her way towards the indicated door and her sister with Willow, Tara, Janet and Sam in tow.

"What she said," added Jack.

Giles glanced at his slayer before looking at Kinsey, "You and your foolish power games almost destroyed us all. That creature was obviously planning on using your own ambitions against you, had you succeeded in making your bomb it would have destroyed the world," he growled.

"Don't be absurd," sniggered Kinsey.

"You really don't know what you are doing do you," snapped Cordelia with anger, "But you will," she finished as she walked up to him and placed a hand to his head. Kinsey screamed, falling to his knees clutching his head.

Jack looked stunned at the Senator rolling around on the floor and then at the brunette who stood solemnly over him, "What the hell did you do to him?" he asked in awe.

"Nothing permanent, I just showed him what my vision showed me," she said quietly.

"You can do that! Since when?" asked Spike.

"Since now apparently," said Cordelia frowning slightly.

Buffy and the others entered a smallish room, which contained two gurneys on which were strapped her sister and Cassandra Fraiser. She momentarily growled as she saw the tears rolling down her 'little' sister's cheeks, intending only to rip off the restrains and the needle attached to her arm.

"Don't touch any of the equipment until I've checked them first," shouted Janet, stopping the slayer in her tracks.

Buffy nodded, forcing herself to go careful as she and Willow gently removed the gag and restrains; "Oh Buffy, you came, I-I thought they would kill us," wept Dawn.

"Try not to move until Janet's checked you over, everything is going to be alright now," Buffy reassured her sister as she held her hand, her own tears running down her face.

Sam helped Cassandra stand, helping her over to her friend's bed as Janet checked on the younger Summers, "Hey," said Cassandra smiling weakly.

"Hey," replied Dawn, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, just numb, you?"

"The same," said Dawn, "You wouldn't believe the number of times I was kidnapped back in Sunnydale by something wanting to use me against Buffy, but this is the first time since Glory that someone did it to get me."

"Glory?" frowned Cassandra.

"Tell you later," said Dawn as Buffy helped her up from the bed after Janet had removed the needle from her arm and place a plaster over the wound. Dawn spied the two nurses that had seemed to be responsible for her and Cassandra, slumped against the wall, "Are they dead?" she asked.

"No, just asleep," said Willow.

"Good, can you wake them Buffy?" asked Dawn.

Buffy glanced at Willow who shrugged, "Sure," she said walking over and slapping the nurses' faces none to gently, "Wakey wakey," she said.

"What-what's going on," asked the elder nurse trying to move away from the strange young woman in front of her, "W-who are you?"

Buffy smiled sweetly at her, "Not important. Come on your former patients want a word with you two," she said lifting them both to their feet with very little effort and pushed them towards where Dawn and Cassandra stood supported by Willow and Sam.

The younger nurse went pale as the implication of the two young women being free struck her, "I-I'm sorry... I was o-only doing what I-I was told, please don't hurt me," she pleaded over her shoulder at Buffy.

Dawn and Cassandra both shook off the help their friends were giving them and stood in from of the two nurses, they glanced at each other and an unspoken agreement passed between them, they turned back to the nurses and without saying anything their fists both connected with one nurse's face.

"I won't," smirked Buffy looking down at one unconscious nurse and one holding a bloody nose, "But they will," she said, "Great punch Dawn," she congratulated her sister as she helped her towards the door.

"Wait," said Dawn, "We can't go out like this," she said pulling at the hospital gown she wore.

Buffy smirked as she glanced at the nurses on the floor, "True, they should fit you for now," she nodded at the nurses.

"Yeah," giggled Cassandra.

Sam smirked at the slayer as she helped Buffy strip the nurses of their uniforms.

On returning to the others Faith's eyes twinkled with mischief as she gave Dawn a hug, "Oh nurse's uniform, good thing your boyfriend ain't here."

Dawn blushed, "H-how do you know about Jimmy?"

"He turned up at Ken's house, all worried 'bout you," Faith teased.

"Let's get you out of here," put in Buffy.

"We still need to destroy any samples and the information on the computers," pointed out Willow.

"Tell you what, why don't you two and Teal'c take them to the lobby upstairs," suggested Giles looking at Buffy and Faith.

"Okay," nodded Buffy.

Teal'c looked at Jack who nodded his agreement. As the Jaffa went to leave the Colonel stopped him, "Lend me your zat a moment." Teal'c handed over the gun with a raised eyebrow.

Jack turned and fired a charge into Senator Kinsey, who slumped to his side on the floor where he had been tied up, Jack smirked at his teammates, "I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that," he said handing back the zat.

Janet went over and bent down next to the unconscious Senator, "Sir was that really necessary?" she asked the Colonel, the frustration heavy in her voice.

"Apart from the great high it gave me, the way Carter is fussing over that soldier," the Colonel nodded towards where Sam was trying to make the man more comfortable, "I'd say that was Graham, her long lost love." Both Janet and Sam turned to pin him with their eyes, "What! It's true, why else would they have made up a secret code so her brother couldn't read what they were saying?"

Sam blushed as she glanced from the Colonel to her lover then back again, "Yes this is Graham and yes he 'was' my boyfriend, but that was years ago," she explained in annoyance at her CO and wishing that there was some way she could get away with zating him.

Jack smirked at the two women, "Anyway we can speak freely now and leave any incriminating evidence we find for Graham Miller without tipping our hand," he pointed out.

"He does have a point Sam," ventured Daniel.

"Right then shall we continue to secure the enemy," put in Giles, "Doctor Fraiser why don't you take Tara here and see if you can find any samples and try and destroy them safely, while Willow and Major Carter search the computer system. Spike, Manda you two stay and keep watch."

Using magick it only took Willow and Sam about fifteen minutes to locate and remove all evidence on Dawn and Cassandra and the tests carried out, after erasing it they spent almost half an hour downloading every piece of information to DVD's as well as to the Watchful security and SGC computers just in case.

Sam wrote a simple note and placed it in Graham's hands before taping them together, it was in code just in case, but all it said was 'In your bus locker, S.' before they joined their partners in disposing of the samples which turned out to be as simple to destroy as it was to create, they simply allowed the blood to thaw and the Key energy evaporated leaving the Naquadah enriched blood behind, which Janet secured for transport back to the SGC and Sam did the same with the scanning device that the NID had somehow obtained from P5A783.

A little over two hours after arriving at the NID base they all gathered in the lobby with Xander, Riley and Samantha. Jack spied 15 bound and gagged people against one wall as he came through the door into the lobby, "Been having fun," he asked as Riley stood looking up the stairway leading to the offices.

Riley smirked at the Colonel; "Like shooting fish in a barrel, but it's been quiet for about an hour now, I don't like it!" he told them.

"You think they're planning a trap?" asked Willow.

"It's what I'd do," said Jack.

"So what we gonna do about it?" asked Faith.

Willow and Tara looked at each other before smiling and turning to the rest, "We'll take care of it," said the redhead walking towards the door they had entered by.

"Oh this should be good," smirked Jack beginning to follow the two witches.

The rest of the SGC shook their heads as they fell in behind their CO; "Jack you're like a big kid sometimes," pointed out Daniel.

"Oh come on, how often do we get a chance to see the NID get its collective ass kicked?"

Sam smirked at Daniel, "He does have a point Daniel."

"Yeah okay he does, but we are in a dangerous situation here," Daniel pointed out.

"When are we not Daniel Jackson!" put in Teal'c.

With the two witches leading, followed by the members of SG-1 and the slayers protectively around Dawn and Cassandra, Xander, Riley and Samantha bringing up the rear, they reached the outside door.

Reaching out with their senses the two witches could feel over two dozen hostile minds on the other side, "They're out there," said Willow as she touched the door handle, releasing the lock spell.

She opened the door and she and Tara walked out, looking around they saw half a dozen cars had been positioned to act as shields for the agents now aiming various guns at them, "Lay down your weapons and move to your right, any hostile move and we will fire," said a large grey haired man from behind one of the vehicles.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" called out Jack from just inside the door.

Willow turned and looked angrily at the Colonel.

"Colonel O'Neill, we can't allow you to take the three young women out of here. We will open fire unless you comply," the man called out.

"You lay down your weapons and we will leave peacefully, otherwise things will start getting unpleasant for you," said Willow, "But either way 'we' are leaving," she finished her voice sounding loudly in the heads of the agents.

"Fire," shouted the man.

The next two minutes would stay in the minds of those agents that survive for the rest of their lives. Two of the cars exploded as bullets seemed to ricochet off something in front of the two women. Seemingly with a wave of their hands two more of the cars flipped over and with sparks flying in every direction flew into pillars.

When it was over only two agents remained unscathed, they threw down their guns and held up their hands. Silence rained for almost a full minute before Janet came out and headed straight for the nearest injured man.

Willow and Tara solemnly walked around the wounded agents using their powers to remove the bullets, it turned out that only three of the agents were dead. Buffy could see the tears running down their cheeks, even though the NID had instigated the fight. As Buffy helped her sister into one of the black vans she looked over at the man that seemed to be in charged, "We're leaving now, I wouldn't follow us if I were you, next time it will be a lot worse."

The man looked at his bloody shirt then back at the slayer, "We won't interfere," he said somewhat in shock.

Jack looked at him, "You might want to go and see Senator Kinsey he's a little tied up at the moment," he smirked as he got in the drivers seat of one of the vans.

On the way back to the airport it was decided that the members of the SGC, Dawn and Cassandra would all return to Cleveland to discuss what was going to happen now that everyone knew everyone else's secrets, the AI gang returned to LA, and Kennedy and Manda returned to State college and left the DVD's in Graham's locker.

To be continued SOON
