Chapter 5

After much needed talking Buffy, Jesse, and Giles finally emerged from the sitting room. They silently agreed that since Jesse knows what's going to happen, that she has some say so in how they handle things. She just had to run her ideas by Buffy or Giles first.

Most of the potentials were in the living room asleep and other's were in the kitchen eating.

"Hey! Faith that's my Poptart." Andrew complained as he and Faith emerged from the kitchen. Once he saw Giles he ran over to him.

"Giles, Faith stole my food again!" Andrew pouted.

"Easy, Andy it's not like it had your name on it or nothing." Faith said as she put the last piece of the Poptart in her mouth.

"But it did, see look." Andrew said as he produced the Pastry rapper that had his name on it in big letters.

"Sorry yo." Faith said as she lightly punched him on the arm. With a glare he stormed off mumbling things about hiding food.

"So I see you're up and about, Faith." Buffy said with a small smile.

"You know me. This girl takes a lickin' but keeps on tickin'." Faith joked. "So who's our mystery girl?" Faith asked pointing at Jesse. Buffy and Giles shared a look, but it was Jesse who answered.

"My name is Jessica Giles." she said holding out her hand to shake. "But you can call me Jesse." then the two shook hands.

" So the G-man really does have a grandchild." Faith said which recieved a muffled cough by Giles.

"Actually no. Giles is my father." Jesse lied. Faith looked at her wide eyed for a second then punched Giles in the arm.

"I thought you said you didn't have any kids G-man." Faith said.

"Quite, I ..."

"He didn't know about me until just now. And before you ask, the reason why I don't have an english accent is because my mom moved us to L.A. when I was little." Jesse said before Giles could finish. She could hear him polishing his glasses like a mad man.

"But that still doesn't explain why you called him Grandpa." Faith questioned even more. Jesse gave her a look before she answered. 'Man I thought mom told me that Faith was kind of slow. I guess those reports were mistaken.' she thought to herself.

"Well he looks so much like his father, my Grandpa, that I got kind of confused."

"Oh. But one more thing though, I've been talking to Kennedy and she said that you busted out some Slayer moves and saved us all. So what's up with that?"

"I can explain that." Giles said as he slid his glasses back on. "It seems that 2 years ago when Buffy jumped in that portal and died she activated another Slayer. My...daughter to be more accurate."

"And after that..." Jesse continued. "I got all these freaky powers and these demons tried to attack me. Then two weeks ago my mom died, so I decided to look up my father." Jesse said a little sadly to throw Faith off.

"I'm sorry about your Ma." Faith said as she put a hand on the younger girls shoulder. "But, hey at least you gained a wicked cool Pa. Even though he is kind of boring sometimes." she said as she winked at Giles.

"I'm glad you're here. Sorry we had to meet under these circumstances though. Also thanks for saving our asses out there" Faith said.

"Like wise and you're welcome." Jesse said as Faith walked away from her and looked over at Buffy.

"Hey B what's that axe thing you got there?" Faith asked as she and Buffy started talking. Then Giles walked over to Jesse.

"Where did you learn how to lie like that?" Giles asked looking stern. Jesse just looked up at him with a lopsided grin. Getting the point Giles assumed that he must have taught her a little about Ripper in her future.

Her grin faded though when she looked over at where she hung her coat.

"Hey where's my shotgun?" she asked to no one in particular.

Xander was busy cleaning and polishing Jesse's shotgun in the kitchen. Something about the girl just seemed so familiar to him. He wasn't attracted to her or anything but he felt so close to her, like he'd known her his entire life.

As the door to the kitchen opened, the girl in question walked in, snapping him out of his reverie.

"Hi." Xander said making the other girls in the room look over at Jesse.

"Hi." she said with a little wave. As she was about to walk over to him, Kennedy stood up and blocked her path.

"Thanks for saving our butts back there." she said as she held out her hand. "I'm Kennedy, this is Rona, and she's Amanda." Kennedy said as she pointed to each of the girls and called out there names.

"It's nice to meet you all, my names Jessica...Jessica Giles." Once she said this the whole room was silent, until Xander spoke.

"Giles, is the G-man your dad?" Xander asked. Maybe that's why I feel like I know her, Xander mused.

"Yeah he is." Jesse lied as she stood beside him looking down at his hands. Xander followed her line of vision and saw that she was looking at her shotgun.

"Sorry." He said with a sheepish grin. "I saw that it was dirty and needed some cleaning." he said as he handed the 12 gauge back over to her.

"But the strangest thing is I've never seen a chamber system like that before."

"That's because it's a magical chamber." Jesse replied as she opened it up to show him.

"Magical?" Willow said as she came into the room.

"Yeah Willow, I was just explaining to Xander how my shotgun works." Jesse said smiling at Willow.

"How...How did you know my name?" Willow asked.

"And mine?" Xander said.

'Damn me and my big mouth' Jesse thought bitterly to herself.

"That's because I told her Willow." Giles said as he slipped into the room unnoticed.

"Yeah dad speaks highly of you two." Jesse put in.

"Dad!" Willow said with wide eyes.

"Ye...Yes it seems as though Jesse is my daughter." Giles said as he walked back to the door. "I'll let her explain the details to you, I just came in to tell you we made some space for you to sleep in tonight." And with that Giles left the room.

After Giles was gone, all eyes fell to Jesse, who just shrugged. Motioning for everyone to take a seat, she told the same lies she told Faith only moments ago. After that she explained that her mom put a magical spell on her shotgun chamber to make the bullets replicate themselves. And to make the bullets more successful they had a silver core in them, that was mixed in with holy water and incinerary liquid.

"But I thought that Slayer's weren't supposed to use modern weapons?" Amanda asked.

"Hey when you're in L.A. you have to do what you have to do." Jesse joked. Jesse's spidey sense(ok I couldn't come up with something better to describe that wave of alarm that goes up when slayer's sense danger.) alerted her to trouble, but as soon as it was there it was gone. Shrugging it off she stood and gathered her gun.

"Hey guys I'm going to get a snack and then get some sleep. I have a feeling that we are going to have a long day tomorrow."

Almost on cue the lights to the house and the whole town went out. Most of the girls in the house started to scream, some even cried. But Jesse remained still and clutched her gun. Closing her eyes she started to concentrate, using all of her senses she was able to determine that demonic presenses were surrounding the house. But there was something else around the presenses that made her shudder. Snapping her eyes open a dark and evil growl permeated the air.

"WolfBlades." Jesse muttered to herself as she cocked her shotgun.
