The next day a small Luther Corps Jet touches down at a small semi private airport on the outskirts of Sunnydale. Lex is busy talking to the pilot about scheduling concerns as Clark, Chloe and various assistants to Lex get off of the plane and head into the main lobby of the small airport.
Clark looks around trying to spot his cousin Willow. Clark spots Willow sitting talking to a brown haired girl wearing a black leather jacket over dusty jeans and black t-shirt with white letters that says 'Bite me'. Clark waves at Willow and heads over.
Lex heads out to the lobby after finishing telling the pilot to take the rest of the day off and to be here tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock for the return trip. Lex's thoughts 'That girl close to Clark's cousin looks hot and might be some fun on this boring council trip glad that Clark could come and lighten the mood I hate this company maybe I can sell it off to someone else, they aren't making enough money anyways.'
Lex walks over towards Clark and company as the girl with Willow checks Clark's friend out. Clark smiles "Lex this is my cousin Willow and her friend." Faith "Names Faith,"
"Ah Faith nice to meet you, Willow this is Lex and Chloe they have been good friends for a while. Lex was the one that helped give us a lift."
"It was nothing I had to come here for a company meeting anyways. Strange that this is the first time we ever met here but sometimes plans change for some reason. Well anyways I should get going." Lex smiles and pulls out a card handing it to Faith. "Maybe after I get back from my board meeting we can get something to eat I'll see you around Clark."
Lex winks at Faith before walking towards the exit with his assistants.
Clark looks at Faiths t-shirt, "Do we have time for a bite to eat?" Faith looks at her bear arm where a watch would normally go. "Don't look at me I'm just making sure Willow is safe. Yes the shirt is an inside joke." Faith smirks at Willow.
Willow "Well we can grab something on the way home the mall is close and the food court isn't bad." Clark looks at Chloe and nods when she does. Chloe "Food sounds good we haven't eaten sense breakfast."
Faith walks over to a beat up van, "It's the transport of the desperate just don't let B drive or it will be the transport of the damned."
Willow, "She is getting better." Faith raises her eyebrows. Willow "Okay not much better pile in guys." Clark and Chloe get in the back seat and put on seat belts after Willow hurriedly puts hers on.
A bare few minutes later the crew finds themselves at the mall's food court. Finding seats after ordering hamburgers and soda Clark asks Willow a question. "You took some occult theory classes right Willow you ever heard anything about a cult that doesn't have eyes and wears black robes and carries wicked looking knives."
Willow sprays her drink. Faith curses "Bringers. How did you deal with them and why were they after you?" Chloe "Well I think they were after me they sort of chased me when I was in my car and I went to Clark's place to hide out, and well about the same way that all cultists should be dealt with in Smallville." Chloe whispers "A shot gun to the chest."
Faith "wow I didn't think of that, so if you saw the bringers that must mean you're a potential hey Willow can you check that?"
"A potential what?"
After taking another sip of pop, "Well let me see Revelity" Willow's eyes glow with a soft gold light for a second. "Hey, you know how to pick your friends Clark I guess she is going to have to come along to Buffy's house."
Faith, "Good we can blow this joint and get out of here before it gets dark and your cousin has to deal with the locals."
Clark "Locals? Can't be much worse then Smallville can it?"
Chloe, "Well the death rate here is sure higher then Smallville even with the meter rocks. "
"Well it comes from a bit of a gang problem makes things interesting though." Faith tosses her trash in the waste bin as she heads for the car with the others.
The sun is just starting to go down as the car pulls into the Summer's driveway. Willow opens the door and walks in. "Rules of Sunnyhell don't invite people inside, they either come in or they don't. Don't go out at night Chloe there are worse things then gangs here."
Faith "Aren't you going to warn your cousin not to go out as well."
Willow smiles "No I don't really like the vampires much I think it would be funny if they." Clark glares slightly at Willow. "Okay shutting up now."
Faith raises an eyebrow at Willow. Clark looks around at the numbers of girls in the house. "Slumber party? How come I think you were holding back information on me cousin?"
A smiling Dawn walks out of the kitchen "You didn't say he was good looking Willow. So where is he staying? My room is open." Dawn smiles and goes to watch T.V. with a bleached blond guy that turns to Clark. "Be nice to Niblet otherwise I will have to hurt you."
Clark "That her boy friend?" Spite chokes. Willow "No her sister's current interest best not to ask."
Chloe "So is this the part where you explain why the Bringers wanted to kill me?"
Faith "Short version is you're a potential slayer or vampire slayer and some creepy preacher minion of the first evil wants to kill all of the potential slayers to end the line of slayers and thus stop a challenge against him/her/it something like that."
Clark "Ah so that is the preacher guy that you were talking about on the phone. He doesn't sound like a very nice guy. Maybe we should go pay him a visit when we can find him."
Faith looks at Clark like he was dropped as a child. "Ah did your cousin tell you he was wicked fast and strong not sure what it would take but Xander's right a wrecking ball would be a good place to start first."
Clark "She may or may not have mentioned that he was causing her friend some issues and that he tried to kill one of the girls here. So he sounds rather less then human. I figure if we work together we have a shot at taking him out." Willow "Well what do you say Faith you up for a bit of fun?"
"You sure your okay Willow your doing better with the magic right? You're not planning something with magic to beat him are you?"
Willow smiles "Nope no magic required. I just figured my cousin could have a little chat with him." Clark looks a little nervous.
Chloe "Hey it's okay Clark they seem like nice girls and besides" Chloe leans in and whispers "I already know about your powers have for a while." Chloe leans back and raises her voice back to normal "Why else do you think the wall of weird came down? Now if your will excuse me I think I should go mingle and get some more details from the rest of the girls."
Chloe leaves a stunned Clark gapping at Willow and Chloe. Willow "Yes he really does have some nice powers that could help he is stronger then a slayer and faster too. Should be easily strong enough to take out Caleb so you want to go test Buffy's theory that there is something in that Vineyard?"
Faith "You mean we have a chance at some pay back? Count me in I'll just nick the Troll Hammer from B's closet and we can be on our way." Faith runs off upstairs to get the hammer.
Clark looks around in a daze few a minute or so before snapping back to reality by a fist to the back of the head. Spike "what the bloody hell are you that bloody hurt." Spike is shaking his fist in pain.
"Spike, meet my cousin Clark."
"You sure you're related to Willow she is a good deal softer then that." Clark looks down at spike "Next time a hello would work as well."
"Damn it, I don't suppose that hurt you as much as it did me."
"No it didn't but I did feel it."
"Oh bloody hell. On second though I'm coming with you guys I want to see Caleb's face when he plays with your cousin Red."
Willow "You can fight so yeah you can come, though I want to get this done before Buffy gets home. I'll have to call Xander to baby sit the potentials as well as Dawn."
Dawn "I don't need a baby sitter."
Willow "No I meant you're helping Xander you at least know how to shoot a crossbow."
"Oh alright we will wait here."
Faith comes back down with the large troll's hammer grinning like a loon.
Clark "That hammer must weigh a bit."
"Well you know what they say a girl and her toys." Willow turns red.
Faith "Okay too much info Red."
Willow, "Let's go before Clark dies of embarrassment."
Clark "Sounds like a plan."
The night is cool for southern California at least. The three warriors and the witch girl walk into the vineyard looking around.
Faith shouts "Hey stupid demented preacher piss ant wannabe alter boy you here?"
Willow "You really like pissing people off don't you?"
Faith smiles "It's a talent!"
Caleb smiles stepping out from the shadows, "Well now if it's not the girl with a dirty mouth and the unclean one and a girl that doesn't know her place" looking at Willow. "And you brought something that looks like a farm boy oh this is going to be fun killing you girls for the wicked must die clean souls you know. So which of you is the dirty whore?"
Spike "You know you would give a demon a bad name."
Clark "You really shouldn't call my cousin names."
Caleb "Oh so your girlfriend isn't giving you any is she then, that dirty whore."
Clark vanishes from view only to appear next to Caleb with his fist where Caleb's head used to be with Caleb flying backwards into a wall. "You really shouldn't say things like that about a lady."
Caleb slowly gets up shaking the stars from his vision. "What are you, you can't be human I have gifts from god. I will clean the world of filth like you and yours." Charges Clark and hits him with a right hook that forces Clark to take a single step backwards.
Faith heads off looking around the vineyard for the something of value that Willows scrying had found the day before. Spike busies himself smashing heads and breaking the bones of the bringers that are hanging around working.
Clark smiles and punches Caleb again in the face sending him flying. "I'm not going to let you hurt any more girls. People like you need to be stopped. And being that I have the power to stop you I'm going to do so. And a freak like you killed my girl not so long ago. I'm going to make sure you can't hurt any more girls."
Caleb tries another punch, which Clark merely grabs and starts crushing it as Caleb grimaces in pain. "You are nothing but a scared little alter boy that girls didn't like so you lashed out isn't that right?"
Caleb's face twists in anger. "The first will take care of you."
Clark, "Faith you done yet?"
"Yeah I think I found it." Faith reaches down and pulls out a wicked looking scythe from frozen black goop.
Caleb "NO don't touch that it's mine!"
"Hey, I got a new toy Buffy can keep the hammer."
"Well that's good I'm getting bored of holding this maggot want to play with him for a while?"
"Five by five with me." Clark smashes Caleb in the head another time with his fist before holding him still so Spike can take a couple of swings into the guys face.
Clark "I think we should let him go now."
Spike has a look of shock on his face. "You can't be serious."
"Of course I am." Clark tosses Caleb's broken body into the path of Faiths swing with the scythe, which cuts Caleb's head clean off.
Spike "Can I keep that as a treasure?"
Willow, "Eww, yeah but not at the house."
Clark, "That guy was seriously strong, what did you say he made a deal with? Some type of demon?"
Willow "Something like that."
Faith "Now can we go home and gloat to B?" Willow laughs. "Sure now that we have something to gloat about."
