Thank you everyone for the wonderful reviews! It definitely helps the flow of writing :-)
Now, as promised, a longer chapter:
Chapter Four
Slaying, Colorado Style
Willow let out a cry of frustration.
"Still having trouble getting into the SGC's computers?" Xander asked.
"Yes. I can't even get far enough to find out what SGC stands for."
"Do you think you'll be able to get in?" Buffy inquired.
"Oh, I'll get in, alright." Willow said, determined. "It just might take a little longer than usual." she rubbed her tired eyes before returning to her work.
Moments later the door opened and Kennedy came in.
"How was the patrol?" Giles asked.
"Found a particularly nasty nest about half a mile away. 25 vamps, maybe more. Anyone up for some slaying?" she asked. Immediately everyone except Andrew and Giles volunteered to go, sick of being in the hotel and eager to do something other than sitting there.
"Will, you coming?" Buffy asked her friend.
"Definitely. I need to get away from this computer before I decide to throw it out the window."
"Wow, when Will gets frusterated at a computer, you know the security is tight." Xander quipped. Willow threw a look his way. With that, Buffy, Kennedy, Dawn, Willow, and Xander loaded up with weapons and headed out the door, opting to walk to distance to the nest.
"Did you recognize that girl?" Sam asked as they watched someone enter the hotel room that Buffy and Mr. Giles were in. Daniel shook his head. They were in a van across the street from the hotel. Daniel and Sam decided to take the first watch. Jack and Teal'c were going to come by later.
A few minutes after the girl went in, she emerged, followed by Buffy, a redheaded girl, another girl who looked no older than 17 and a man with an eye patch over his left eye. Daniel frowned and turned to Sam.
"We should follow them on foot. We'll have a better chance of staying out of sight." she said. Daniel nodded and as soon as the group turned the corner, the two members of SG-1 got out of the van.
They followed at a safe distance and watched as the group stopped in front of an old rundown warehouse. It was then that Buffy pulled out what was in her bag. A large, axe-like weapon. Daniel and Sam exchanged a silent look. Buffy then looked as though she was giving out orders to the others, who nooded and split up, seemingly top surround the building.
Daniel noticed, with interest, that most of the windows in the building were boarded up, and the ones that weren't, were painted black.
As soon as Buffy entered the warehouse, Daniel and Sam got closer, as they did, they pulled out their own weapons. Carefully they entered the building. They snuck through the maze like building, weaving in and out of crates, until they heard Buffy's voice. Daniel peered over a large crate to see her confronting a large male, who was flanked on both sides by two other guys. Daniel also noticed a few others, men and women, behind them. The others from Buffy's group were no where in sight.
"Here I am, on vacation in sunny Colorado and I find out you guys here are using Colorado Springs as your own little all you can eat buffet. So, I said to myself, 'Self', I said, 'should I go about my business as though I didn't know and keep on having my vacation, or do I take care of this problem?' Then I realized that taking care of this problem is my business." Buffy said. Daniel and Sam looked on in confusion.
"Who do you think you are? The Slayer?" the man in front laughed. Buffy shrugged.
"As a matter of fact..." suddenly she whipped out the axe and connected with the mans neck, cleaning severing it from it's owner. Daniel eyes went wide as he watched the body crumble into a pile of dust.
Then the fight was on. The rest of Buffy's posse emerged from the shadows, armed with what looked like small sticks. The teenager armed herself with a long sword and the guy with the eye patch held a crossbow.
Sam and Daniel watched as the group worked together like a well-oiled machine.
Suddenly someone grabbed Daniel by the shoulder and spun him around, causing him to drop his gun. He heard Sam fight against her own attacker before the face of his own changed. His forehead protruded over his eyes and his cheekbones became more pronounced. He opened his mouth to reveal several sharp teeth. He leaned into Daniel's neck and Daniel felt a slight prick before the body suddenly turned into dust.
Daniel saw a flash of long blonde hair and Sam's attacker was gone.
"Dr. Jackson? Major Carter?" Buffy asked in disbelief. Daniel glanced at Sam but before either of them could say anything, Buffy was off again.
Daniel raised his hand to his injured neck and brought it back to look at it, seeing blood.
"You okay?" Sam asked. Daniel nodded and turned his attention back to the battle. Buffy and the girl they didn't recognize seemed to take care of the attackers with much more ease than the others, though they each held their own.
Soon the fight was over and the group was literally dusting themselves off. Buffy looked around, assessing the group before approaching Daniel and Sam.
"So. Care to tell me what you're doing here?" Buffy asked.
"Well, we...um.." Daniel started, glancing at Sam.
"You're spying on me." Buffy finished. Both members of SG-1 looked guilty. "Look, we did a little searching on you both. Found out you're working in Cheyanne Mountian. Something about Deep Space Tele-somethingorother. Now, since that pretty much doesn't involve tablets regarding the Slayer, or the use of an archeologist, I'm gonna have to go with door number two. We came up with something called SGC. Don't really know what that is. So, I gotta ask. Is it anything like the Initiative?" Buffy ranted. Daniel's brow furrowed and he looked at Sam. She looked just as confused.
"Initiative?" Sam asked. Buffy glared at them, as if to work out if Sam really didn't know what the Initiative was.
"I suppose classified projects don't exactly share information with each other." she said. Daniel shook his head.
"We have no idea what you're talking about." he said. "Um...what just happened here? And why did that guy call you the Slayer?"
"I told you. It's classified."
"You're the Slayer?" Sam asked, understanding.
"A Slayer." the girl they didn't recognize said.
"Kennedy." Buffy repremanded. She clearly didn't want to tell Sam or Daniel anything, much less that there were more Slayers out there.
"You're both Slayers?" Sam said.
"But you're so...small." Daniel said, slightly confused. Buffy and Kennedy scoffed.
"They're a lot more capable than they look." eye-patch said.
"Look, we're not telling you anymore until we get some answers of our own." Buffy said. Sam and Daniel looked at her, waiting for her questions. "I don't think here would be such a good place. Let's go back to our hotel." she suggested.
The walk back to the hotel was realitively silent, outside the introductions. They walked into the two adjoining rooms to find Giles looking at the computer, obviously frusterated and Andrew laying on a bed, playing with his GameBoy, which he promptly set down when they entered.
"In walks the heroes of the night after a long hard battle with countless...oh." he stopped when he noticed the two strangers accompaning the group. Giles stood.
"Daniel? Samantha?" he asked and looked to Buffy for answers.
"They were following us. Got a little close to the fight." she complied, gesturing to Daniel's neck. Buffy gave Willow a look and she nodded. Willow moved behind the computer. She had a feeling these two weren't exactly going to be forthcoming with answers, so she figured she'd get cracking on the SGC's computer, hiding the screen from the visitors.
"So, what exactly did we just witness back there?" Sam asked.
"I'm still trying to grasp the concept that you two are the Slayers." Daniel said, still in amazement.
"Two of many, darling." Kennedy said as she sat next to Willow, her hand resting on the witch's thigh.
"What were those things back there? They obviously weren't human." Sam asked again.
"Well, you're right about that." Xander said, sitting on the edge of one of the beds. Sam and Daniel both looked at the group expectantly.
"First some answers from you guys. You know what you wanted to know originally, who the Slayers are. Our turn. What else can you tell us about that tablet?" Buffy asked. Just then, Daniel's phone rang. He quickly picked it up.
"Hello...um, actually, we found out who the Slayer is, are...I think you and T should come and see this for yourselves...Alright, bye." he put his phone back into his pocket. "Jack and T are on their way, seems like they have some news." he told Sam.
"Well?" Buffy prompted, getting confused looks from both Daniel and Sam. "The tablet?"
"Oh! I think we should wait until Jack gets here, he'll be able to answer your questions better than we could." Daniel lied. That wasn't exactly true. Daniel knew more about the tablet than anyone else, but he didn't know what he was allowed to tell her, now that he found out she's a Slayer. He'd let Jack deal with that.
"While we're waiting, we could use a few answers ourselves." Sam suggested.
"Look, Major Carter. It's nothing personal or anything, but I have little trust in anything military, so excuse me if we're a little reluctant to answer your questions. Last time the military got involved in out world, it caused a whole lotta problems and I don't look forward to having to fix another military mistake." Buffy ranted. Sam and Daniel gave each other a look.
'Oh good.' Daniel though, sarcastically, 'She hates the military, this outta be fun.' Maybe they'd be able to contact a different Slayer. Kennedy did say there were many. Maybe they don't all share Buffy's opinion.
"Your world doesn't mix well with mine, so it's best if you leave it alone."
"We're not asking to mix with your world. More like, you mix with ours." Daniel said carefully.
"You mean, like Buffy the Air Force recruit?" Xander snorted.
"Not exactly." Sam said.
They heard car doors slam outside. Sam stood and saw Jack and Teal'c out by the now abandoned van. She went to the door and called them over.
"Care to explain what's going on here, Carter?" Jack asked when he reached the hotel room, Teal'c not far behind.
"You're never going to believe this, sir."
