A/N Don't worry, I'm not ending the fic here, because I have a few more surprises left. Also for the episodes Nightmares and Out of Sight, Out of Mind here's the important things of what happened. Xander's nightmare of what happened in his past was to relive the night of his parents murders and for him to fight a manifested dream version of Spike. Other than that it was the regular episode.

As for Out of Sight, Out of Mind the same old episode basically happened, except at the end Xander, not Batman was able to get through to Marcie and he talked to his dad so she could go to New York and learn from others there so she could control her invisible powers.

And thanks for all the great reviews. Anthony1, as always thanks for your review. As for Superman and The First, they were basically one shots for the story. I know that Superman is vulnerable to magic, so I thought it would be funny for the First to want him to do it's bidding. Also a special shoutout to hattenjc, tdmasternl, X-over, AnimeRonin, Mystiksnake (esecially for your comment and believe me this chapter will blow your socks off), and Garg oyl for your reviews. Also I'm not sure about anybody else wearing the cape and the cowl in the gang. Maybe I'll do it for the special halloween episode, I have planned.

Chapter 15

Prophesy Girl

Library

Giles sat alone at a table researching several books and in several languages. He couldn't believe what he had just read, but making sure he got up and went into his office to make some tea. Sitting down at his desk with his cup of tea and poured over the text of the Codex, once more.

"The Master shall rise...' Yes, yes, this is it! The Master shall rise, and the Slayer...' " he stopped as he looked up in disbelief. "My God!"

He then considered what he's just read for a moment and then reached for his tea. The cup suddenly began to jiggle, making him look at it curiously. A few seconds later the whole building began to shake, and he realized he's experiencing his first earthquake. Panicking he got up and looked around at everything shaking, even as his teacup vibrated off of the desk and smashed to pieces on the floor.

Master's Lair

Sametime

"Yes! YES! Shake, Earth! This is a sign! We are in the final days! My time has come! Glory! GLORY!" The Master bellowed happily as the quake ended as quickly as it started. "Whadaya think? 5.1?" he asked as he looked over at the Mayor, who just shrugged.

"Hey, I brought you a non fat latte." Wilkins said as he handed him the cup.

"Does it have any blood in it?" The Master asked as he eyed the latte warrily.

"Just a little."

"I need you to call off the hit on, Batman." the Master said as he sat down on his throne.

"Why?" Mayor Wilkins asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Because my ascension is at hand and I don't want that damn clown, in the way."

"But wouldn't it be a better idea to keep him around?" the Mayor asked. "He could come in handy." he added, only for the Master to give him a look. "Alright, alright I'll call off the hit."

"Good." the Master replied as he watched the Mayor walk towards the exit.

"But keep in mind, that my own ascension will take place very soon." the Mayor said as he turned around to face him. "Just think about that, my old friend." he said with a slight smile as he walked out of the room.

"I've forgotten nothing, Wilkins." the Master muttered to himself. "Soon, after I walk the earth I will...Mmmm this is good." he said as he took a sip of his blood latte.

Sunnydale High

The Next Day

"All, I'm saying is that I really like her." Xander was saying to Jesse as they walked down a hallway.

"What are you telling me for?" Jesse asked surprised. "You should be telling this to, Buffy."

"I know but I promised..."

"Xander forget about what you promised me." Jesse said, cutting him off. "I'm dating, Willow remember. Now find Buffy and ask her out to...to the Spring Fling. Yeah, that'll be perfect."

"Alright, as soon as I see, Buffy I'll ask her out." hearing heels clicking, they both turned to see Buffy walking up behind them. Seing that Xander asn't going to move, Jesse pushed him in Buffy's direction and walked off to find Willow.

"Ummm...hey Buff." Xander greeted nervously.

"Oh, hi Xander." Buffy greeted back, coming out of her daze.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just, Giles." Buffy said shaking her head, as if to clear it. "He's acting way wierd."

"Well, he's always acting wierd." Xander commented. "Now listen, Buffy I want to ask you..."

"Could you tell me later." she interrupted. "We're so late for Biology."

"Later then." he agreed as they walked to there next period class.

The Joker's Lair

"I can't believe him." the Joker yelled as he angrily hung up his phone. "Everybody's always trying to spoil my fun." he said thinking about his conversation with Mayor Wilkins.

"But I know one thing though. I'm not gonna leave, until I've killed somebody."

Sunnydale Quad

An Hour Later

Buffy, Xander, Jesse and Willow walked out of the doors onto the balcony and headed down the stairs.

"Wow." Buffy exclaimed, letting out a breath. "That was boring."

"I don't feel that boring covers it." Xander replied, thinking how much different school was in Gotham.

"No, boring falls short." she agreed.

"Even I was bored." Willow spoke up. "And I'm a science nerd."

"Don't say that." Buffy said giving her a look.

"I'm not ashamed. It's the computer age. Nerds are in. They're still in, right?" she asked looking around.

"Willow, don't you remember. We have a thing?" Jesse said, thinking now was just a good a time as any for Xander to put the moves on Buffy.

"A thing?" Willow asked, before she remembered. "The thing! That I have! Which is... a thing that me and Jesse have to go to." she said as they reach the bottom of the stairs. "See ya guys." she said as her and Jesse walked off.

"What on earth is their deal?" Buffy asked as she looked over at Xander.

"Uh, I don't know." Xander said as he laughed nervously. "So, uh, Buffy, I wanted to, um... There was this thing I wanted to ask you, to talk to you about."

"Okay, what's up?"

"Uh, let's go over here and sit." He replied as he led her over to a bench.

"Okay, now you're making me nervous. " Buffy said as she sat down.

'You're nervous?' Xander thought to himself. 'What do you think you're doing to me?'

"Well?" Buffy asked anxiously.

"Um..." was all Xander was able to get out as he let out a breath. "Screw it! Buffy I like you. I've had a thing for you every since we met and I think you're beautiful. And tomorrow is Spring Fling and I want you to go to the dance with me. You and me, on a date." he said causing Buffy to look down sadly.

"Xander, I think we should talk."

"So is that a no then?" he asked as he nervously sat down next to her. 'God, why do I feel like I've just made an ass of myself?'

"I'm not gonna lie to you, Xander because I do have strong feelings for you." she started.

"Well that's a good thing." he said as he reached for her hand, only for her to pull away.

"It's not." Buffy informed him. "You're everything that I want in a boyfriend. You're handsome, funny, and smart."

"But?"

"But, I can tell that you're hiding something from me." Buffy said meeting his gaze. "I've been feeling this way, every since we've met and honestly...it scares me."

"Buffy, I would never do anything to hurt you." Xander assured.

"I can't know that." Buffy quickly told him. "Not until you can tell me why, I feel this way."

"I...I don't know." Xander said lowering his head.

"Then goodbye, Xander." Buffy said as she kissed him on the cheek and walked off.

"It's because, I'm Batman." Xander muttered to himself, as he watched Buffy's retreating form.

Wayne Manor

After School

"So how did it go with, Buffy?" Diana asked as Xander walked through the door. As he looked down to the floor sadly, she recieved her answer. "Sorry."

"It's alright." Xander said as he sat down next to her. "Hey where's, Selina?" he asked, missing his daily hugs from her.

"After I gathered the information, you wanted me to get about the Master, I sent her to stay with Joyce for awhile."

"Is it that bad?" Xander asked.

"Well, I have been surfing the 'Net, looking for unexplained incidents, surrounding the Master." Diana said as she started to type at her computer. "Now, here is the latest. A cat last week gave birth to a litter of snakes. A family was swimming in Whisper Lake when the lake suddenly began to boil. And Mercy Hospital last night, a boy was born with his eyes facing inward. I'm not stupid. This is apocalypse stuff. And throw in last night's earthquake, and I'd say we've got a problem. I would say the end is pretty seriously near."

"Then, I better get this information over to, Giles." Xander said as he grabbed her notes and a computer print out. "I'm gonna see if he knows anything about any of this."

The Girl's Locker Room

Buffy shut her gym locker hard, as she thought about her conversation with Xander. She really liked him, but something in her soul told her that he was dangerous. As two girls walked by chatting, she snapped out of her musings and headed to the sink to wash her hands. As she looked into the mirror to see her reflection, she saw Cordelia standing behind her.

"Cordelia, you scared me." Buffy said, startled as she turned around. "What are you doing here?"

"You really are stupid, Summers." Cordelia said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Let me answer that by saying Wha..."

"You're messing up a good thing." Cordelia cut her off. "Xander's comes from one of the riches families in the world. And..."

"Is that what this is about?" Buffy asked. "Since when does my business and your business mesh?"

"Listen." Cordelia said getting serious. "Xander's a nice guy, even though he can be a jerk at times, and you somehow make him happy."

"Well, I appreciate your concern but what me and Xander do or don't do is none of your business."

"Suit yourself." Cordelia said in a huff. "Live your life in misery."

After Cordelia left the room, Buffy looked in the mirror another moment then looked down and saw that blood was pouring from the faucet.

The Library

"Giles, you are not gonna believe this." Buffy spoke out as she walked into the room. She then stopped in her tracks when she heard Giles talking to someone. Curious, she walked around some tables and looked into his office.

"It's clear. It's what's gonna happen. Uh, it's happening now!" Giles said as Batman moved into the light to read the Codex.

"Batman?" Buffy muttered as she headed toward the office, to hear what they were saying.

"It can't be. You've gotta be wrong." Batman said to Giles as he read over the Codex himself.

"I've checked it against all my other volumes. It's very real." Giles replied as Buffy stopped at the door.

"Well, there's gotta be some way around it."

"Listen. Some prophecies are, are a bit dodgy. They're, they're mutable. Buffy herself has, has thwarted them time and time again, but this is the Codex. There is nothing in it that does not come to pass." Giles informed the Dark Knight.

"Then you're reading it wrong."

"I wish to God I were! But it's very plain! Tomorrow night Buffy will face the Master, and she will die."

"Well, have you verified the text?" Batman asked as he and Giles heard somebody laugh. Turning he saw that it was Buffy. Confused as to why she's laughing Giles and Batman exchanged a look. She then slowly started to walk away from the office door, as Batman and Giles came out of the office after her. Angrily she stopped by the table and faced them.

"So that's it, huh?" she asked with a shake of her head. "I remember the drill. One Slayer dies, next one's called! Wonder who she is. Will you train her?" she asked Giles. "Or will they send someone else?"

"Buffy, I..."

"They say how he's gonna kill me?" she asked interrupting her Watcher. "Do you think it'll hurt?" she asked as tears started flowing freely from her eyes. Batman tried to comfort her, but she put up her hands and quickly stepped away. "Don't touch me! Were you even gonna tell me?"

"I was hoping that I wouldn't have to." Giles spluttered. "That there was... some way around it. I..."

"I've got a way around it. I quit!"

"It's not that simple, Miss Summers." Batman told her sadly. "You have a destiny to fulfill."

"Damn destiny!" Buffy yelled at him. "And I'm making it that simple! I quit! I resign, I-I'm fired, you can find someone else to stop the Master from taking over!"

"I'm not sure that anyone else can." Giles interrupted. "All the... the signs indicate..."

"The signs?" she asked as she threw a book at him. "READ ME THE SIGNS!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, as she chunked another book at him. "TELL ME MY FORTUNE! YOU'RE SO USEFUL SITTING HERE WITH ALL YOUR BOOKS! YOU'RE REALLY A LOTTA HELP!"

"No, I don't suppose I am." he replied sadly. It was breaking his heart, just as much as it was Buffy's.

"I know this is hard."

"What do you know about this?" Buffy asked the Dark Knight. "You're not gonna die this young!"

"You think I want anything to happen to you?" Batman asked heatedly. "Do you think I could stand it? We just gotta figure out a way..."

"I already did. I quit, remember? Pay attention!"

"Buffy, if the Master rises..."

"I don't care!" she replied as she yanked the cross, Angel gave her, from her neck. "I don't care. Giles, I'm sixteen years old. I don't wanna die."

"And you want." Batman said as he grabbed her by the shoulders. "Do you hear me? Nothing is gonna happen to you. Me Giles and the others will make sure of that, do you understand me?" he asked as he shook her a bit. Not being able to control her emotions any longer, Buffy broke down and fell into Batman's arms in a fit of tears.

"Mr. Giles, get your people together." Batman said over his shoulder. "We're gonna launch an assault on the Master, tomorrow night."

Wayne Manor

Early Morning

Xander sat down at his living room table, drinking a cup of coffee, as he reviewed over the underground map of Sunnydale. It didn't occur to him at the time, when he told Giles to gather the others, that he didn't know where the Master's cave was. Leaning back in his seat, somebody suddenly put their little hands over his eyes.

"Guess who." the voice said causing Xander to smile.

"Hey babe." he greeted as Selina dropped her hands. "What are you doing here? I thought you were over at Dawn's house."

"I was." Selina said as she sat on his lap. "I just had to pick up some extra clothes. So what are you doing?" she asked as she looked down at the map.

"I'm studying something for...for school." he smoothly lied. "I have to find a spot where someone is gonna be hiding."

"Ohhh, can I help?" she asked excitedly.

"Knock, yourself out kid." Xander said with a smile. 'Theres no way she's gonna...'

"I found it." Selina said, interrupting his thoughts, as she pointed to a wide spot in the middle of the map.

"What the..." Xander said as he snacthed up the map and looked at it. Looking at an even older map of Sunnydale, he saw that the spot Selina pointed to was the same spot the church was in that the Master occupied almost sixty years ago. "How did you..." and then he thought about one of the messages Diana told him about, that was on the net. 'And a child shall lead the way.'

"So what did, I win?" Selina asked as she looked up at him.

"One of these." Xander replied as he gave her a big sloppy kiss on the cheek.

"Uncle Xander." she whined as she wiped away at her cheek.

"Selina, Joyce is waiting for you." Diana called from the other room.

"Coming mom!" she yelled back as she jumped off of Xander's lap. "Bye, Uncle Xander." she said as she ran out of the room. Watching his niece go, Xander smiled to himself.

"Alright you bastard, now I know where you really are." he said as he looked at the map. "Prepare for the end."

Later that night

Sunnydale High

"Mister Giles informed me that, Alexander Wayne paid for you all to get karate lessons." Batman stated as the gang loaded up on stakes, from the weapons cage.

"Yeah." Jesse replied as he stopped eye molesting, the beautiful Batwoman. "Speaking of Xander, where is he anyway?"

"That's not important right now." Batman said quickly. "What's important is that you all are ready."

"Yeah, I think we are." Buffy said as she entered the room, wearing a beautiful white dress.

"Buffy." Giles said stunned to see her.

"You're a little overdressed aren't you, Miss Summers?" Batman asked dryly.

"After we get rid of the Master, I was thinking of asking a boy out on a date." Buffy replied as she walked past them and into the weapons cage to pick out a crossbow. Her mom had told her that happiness for some people only came around rarely and that she should take advantage of anything that would make her happy. "Now let's do this."

"Alright." Batman said taking point, with Batwoman and Buffy on either side of him as they walked out of the library doors. "Once we hit the caves, Batwoman I want you to be in charge of keeping any vamps out of the main chamber. Everybody else is gonna serve as her backup, while me and Miss Summers take care of the Master."

"Buffy." Buffy corrected him.

"What was that?"

"I want you to call me Buffy." she informed him. "If this is gonna be our last night on earth, then I want you to call me by my first name."

"Alright Buff..." he trailed off however, as the pale skinned Cordelia ran into him.

"Good lord, Cordelia what's the matter?" Giles asked.

"Th...th...that." she said as she pointed over her shoulder. Looking up out into the field, they saw a hoarde of vampires coming into their direction. Hearing a growling sound, they looked to their left and saw about twenty more coming out of the shadows. They were slowly being surrounded.

"Alright new plan." Batman said as he took a step back.

"Is this the part where we run?" Willow asked.

"No, Miss Rosenberg." Batman said as he fired his grappling hook gun to the air, where it latched onto the wing of the hovering Batjet. "This is the part where you fight. Batwoman you're in charge while me and Miss...Buffy take care of the Master."

"Got it." she said as she watched the two of them dissappear into the Batjet and fly off.

"So what am I supposed to do?" Cordelia suddenly asked.

"If you're not going to fight..." Giles started as he handed her a stake and some holy water. "then pray." he said as he slashed his axe out, decapitating the first vampire.

The Master's Cave

Minute's Later

"Welcome. I've been waiting for you." the Master said as Buffy walked into the room. Looking at the thousands of candles burning and the dark decor' of the room, she smiled to herself.

"Thanks for having me." Buffy said as she nervously looked around, even as the Master stepped out into the light behind her, to get a better look. "You know you really oughtta talk to a contracter. Looks like you got some water damage."

"Ahh, the feeble banter portion of the fight. Why don't we just cut to the..."

Suddenly Buffy spun around and launched a bolt in the direction of his voice. With his lightning reflexes the Master caught it in mid-flight right in front of him at chest level.

"Nice shot." he said as Buffy quickly reloaded the bow. "To bad I'm still gonna kill you."

"I don't think so." a voice said, echoing throughout the cave. Spinning around, the Master saw that it was Batman sitting perched on top of a boulder. "You see in this fairy tale, you die." he said as he whipped out a batarang and threw it at him.

Outside Sunnydale High

"Hey get the hell off of my girlfriend." Jesse yelled out as he pushed a vampire off of Willow.

"Who knew the dweeb had courage." he heard Cordelia yell out, from her position of hiding behind Giles.

"There's too many of them." Batwoman commented as she spin-kicked a vamp to the ground, while at the same time staking another.

"I admit that we're a bit overwhelmed." Giles replied, slightly out of breath. "But we must keep at it." and as soon as those words left his mouth, a tall vampire sprung up in front of him and picked him up off of his feet by the throat. "A...a li...little help please." Giles wheezed out.

Hearing his cry, someone came out of the shadows and staked the vampire, making him release Giles and for it to turn into dust.

"Thank...thank you." Giles said as he accepted the hand that helped him to his feet. Looking up at his savior, his eyes widened at who he saw. "Good Lord, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Oh my, God." Cordelia said as she saw the other man limp out of the shadows.

The Master's Lair

The Master yelled in outrage as he twisted the batarang out of his stomach. Letting it fall with a clank to the ground, he turned and ripped Buffy's crossbow out of her hands. Jumping down from his position, Batman launched into a rainbow kick, which the Master smoothly slid under.

Seeing two vampires pour into the room, Batman quickly did a leg sweep on the Master, sending him sprawling to the floor. With a sigh he moved on to the new threat.

As he got back up on his feet, Buffy did a swinging roundhouse kick that connected squarely with his face. He swiped at her and she jerked back, but still managed to slice her with his fingernails across her upper right chest, drawing blood.

"You ruined my new dress!" Buffy yelled angrily as she punched him in the kidney at the same time as he punched her in the jaw. She tried to punch him again, but he blocked her and punched her in the face, sending her flying backward into the wall behind her.

As she stood to her feet to attack him again, he suddenly held his hand out making her freeze, caught by his hypnotic powers. She looked up at him surprised and found that she couldn't move, even as he approached her, making slow twisting motions with his hand.

"Come here."

"No." she replied even though she obediently walked over to him. Before he could reach out and grab her, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. Glancing over his shoulder, Buffy saw that Batman had threw a batarang.

Since the Master was still in pain, it snapped her fully out of his mind control. Shaking her head clear, she kicked him in the side with a side snap kick and pulled out her stake.

"You were destined to die!" the Master yelled once he saw the stake. "It was written!"

"What can I say?" Buffy said as she stabbed him deeply in the chest with her stake. "I flunked written."

With a final growl, black ash billowed out of the Master's mouth and he slowly dusted until only his skeleton remained.

"It's finally over." Buffy said as she let out a deep breath.

"As I told you, Miss Summers." Batman said as he snuck up behind her. "You would be safe. But there's still one thing you must do." he said as he handed her a sledge hammer, he had found on the floor.

"What is this for and I thought I told you to call me, Buffy?" she asked.

"Firstly, the sledge hammer is to make sure the Master can never be ressurrected." Batman informed her. "Secondly, I think that we should keep our relationship strictly professional."

"Oh...okay." she replied slightly dissappointed. As she went to work on the Master's bones he took out his communicator.

"Batwoman, we finished the Master. How are things on your end?"

"We finished off most of the vampires and the other one's ran off." came her reply. "The strangest thing happened though. When we went back to the library over half of it was destroyed almost as if something unearthed itself underneath it."

"But everybody's alright?"

"Yeah, we're all fine and you?"

"Tell Mr. Giles that he was wrong." Batman said as Buffy walked up to him. "Miss Summers is still alive."

"That's good to know. I'll meet you back at the cave." she said as she severed the communications.

"So do you think the dance is over?" Buffy asked.

"I'll drop you off at home." Batman said as he put his communicator back in his utility belt. "Because, I have one more piece of business left tonight."

The Mayor's Mansion

Mayor Wilkins, sat at his desk signing some official documents with a smile on his face. He didn't need anyone to tell him that the Master was dead, because he could already feel it. It was like a great power, ceased to exist.

Feeling a sudden cold draft in the room, he looked up and saw Batman walking through his huge terrace window.

"Don't you knock?" Wilkins asked as he went back to writing his documents. "Well I guess I shouldn't be so rude to you. I mean I'm assuming that you had something to do with getting rid of the Master?"

"That would be a correct assumption." Batman said as he stood back in the darkness, as a beautiful black cat purred and affectionately rubbed his head on the Dark Knights leg. "Pretty big place for somebody to live alone in."

"After my last wife died, some years ago, I found it best to live alone. I see fluffy likes you." Wilkins noticed.

"I have no interest in demon kittens."

"Fluffy's no demon." Wilkins said with a raised eyebrow. "What on earth would make you say that?"

"Because his owner is one."

"So how did the great detective figure it out?" he asked as he sat back in his seat.

"Moloch."

"The Corrupter?" the Mayor asked. "What does he have to do with anything?"

"He infected my computer about a month ago. The way my computer is set up however, it saves anything that it values as important information. I was about to toss most of it, until I came upon this." he said as he tossed an 8 by 10 photograph on his desk. As Wilkins picked it up, he saw that it was a picture of himself almost a hundred years ago.

"You're pretty spry for someone that's over a hundred and fifty years old." Batman pointed out only for Wilkins to chuckle.

"Actually, I'm a little older than that. If you had of did some proper homework, you would've known that some demons in human form can live a very long time."

"So you're already a demon?" Batman asked. Wilkins didn't seem to know that he was signing his own death certificate. He had already found out that he was the one behind the Joker coming to Sunnydale, but this...

"Darn tooten." he said happily. "Oh don't get me wrong, I was human. But after the day this photograph was taken, I did a demonic ritual on a few people and turned myself into a demon."

'So he could wait for his ascension.' Batman thought to himself. "I'll see myself out." Batman said as he dropped a ball like object on the floor and jumped out of the window of the three story house.

Hearing a metallic noise, Wilkins stood to his feet and picked up what Batman had dropped. Once he registered what it was his eyes widened.

"Golly." was his last word as the house exploded in a ball of fire.

Wayne Manor

Later that night

"Hey there's my girl." Xander said as he walked into the living room and saw his niece on the floor coloring. Joyce was called on an emergency to LA, so Diana decided to keep her for the weekend. "Look what I brought you."

"A kitty." she said happily as she took it from him.

"Yeah and you can keep it just as long as you promise to feed and take care of it."

"I promise." Selina said as her kitten purred and licked at her face.

"There you two are." Diana said as she walked into the room. "Xander do you remember, when I said somebody special was here that helped us out with...our problem?"

"Yeah. Now who...Dad?" Xander asked as he saw Alfred and his father walking into the room. He also noticed that Bruce was walking more slowly, because of the injury to his legs he had sustained a month ago in Gotham.

"Uncle Alfred, Grandpa!" Selina shouted as she ran into Bruce's arms.

"Grandpa?" Bruce mouthed to Xander, only for his son to chuckle. 'But Alfred is older then me.' he thought to himself with a pout.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Miss Selina." Alfred said as he gave her a hug.

"What are you guys doing here?" Xander asked.

"Is it a crime to want to visit my son for a few days?" Bruce asked as he slowly walked over to a chair and sat down.

"No it's just not like you though." Xander commented.

"I was bored in Gotham." he confessed. "I can't return too...my night job for another three weeks. Atleast until my legs heal."

"Well let's..." suddenly the doorbell rang, interrupting what Xander was gonna say. "Who could that be, this late?" Xander asked as he looked at his watch.

"That." Bruce started as he sat back in his chair and smiled smugly. "Is your punishment."

"Well don't just stand there, Alexander." Alfred said as he sat down at the table. "Answer the door." with a gulp Xander walked out of the room.

"Grandpa, look what Uncle Xander brought me." Selina said as she showed him her new kitten.

"It's beautiful, honey." Bruce said as he pat the kitten on the head, making it purr softly. "What are you gonna call it?"

"Miss Kitty." she said after a moment of thinking.

Nervously, Xander opened his front door and his jaw dropped once he saw the beautiful raven haired girl, wearing tight black jeans on the other side.

"Faith, what the hell are you doing here?" Xander asked his little sister in surprise.

"Damn, bro." she replied as she threw her suitcase in his arms. "Ain't you happy to see me?"

Buffy's Home

Five Minutes Later

"I'll get the door, Dawn." someone heard Buffy say on the other side of the door. As she opened it, she let out a startled gasp, as the Joker lifted up his pistol.

"I just couldn't leave, Sunnydale without giving you your party favor." Joker said as he fired off a shot. Laughing hysterically, he walked off even as Buffy's body dropped bonelessly to the dirty ground.

Somewhere in Jamaica

A figure punched tirelessly at a punching bag, to build up her stamina. Little did she know but her wish to be a Slayer was finally about to come true. As an invisible wave of energy hit her, her stomach flip flopped as she keeled over on the floor.

"My word, Kendra are you alright?" her Watcher asked as he helped her stand to her feet.

"Yes sir, Mr. Wyndam-Price." Kendra replied as she looked down at her hands. "I feel just fine."

A/N Next will be a Faith interlude, so you know how she became Faith Wayne. Also to answer a question I'm sure alot of people are gonna have. I didn't want Xander and Buffy together because of the Wayne curse with women. They might end up together later in the fic but not yet. So sorry to any Buffy and Xander shippers.

I'll also explain why Kendra's Watcher is Wesley later in the fic. I also thought it was funny to have a play on the words of the prophesy of the Codex. It said that the Master would kill her, but it never said which Master. So instead of it being a Master vampire that killed her, it was a master criminal.
