Coming into train so early in the morning was starting to become less painful than it used to be. At one time getting up this early would have caused serious temperament issues throughout the day, but no more. Xander was now starting to have lots more control over his body and it was all working out quite well. He was even considering doing some sword work or something, seeing how it had worked out so well for Wes. Not more than a year ago Wes had been out with Faith on patrol when a group of replicas of the old Samurai warriors had abducted him. Then had all been in a snit when they got notice that he was fine but undergoing some watchers right of passage that was known to change them into the hard as nails type. Xander had thought this odd at first since Giles had never mentioned anything but it seemed legit and they couldn't do anything about it. When Wes got back he certainly wasn't the hard as nails type but did seem to have a lot more control. Wes had confided in Xander that it had been the intense study of the sammari ways of old that had taught him the control.

Xander was still thinking on upping his training when Faith walked in the room dragging behind her a figure that didn't seem all to happy. "Xander this girl tells me that she knows you and that your good friends. I didn't believe her but she seemed so sincere that I had to check it out so tell me Xan do you know her?" Xander looked around Faith to see that she had drug in Cordy. "Cordy what are you doing here, how have you been?"

"Other than psycho bitch slayer here I've been pretty good, as for the being here well where doing a shoot about a mile west of here and I decided to come see you. Didn't know there was a new slayer in town though." Cordy answered.

"Wow that's great I'm glad the acting things going well for you. Yeah we got a new slayer not to long after you left actually, new watcher to." Xander said before moving to hug her.

"So how did you find us here, I thought are meeting place was pretty secret." Xander said looking questionley at Cordy.

"Well truthfully it wasn't all that hard; I just came to the place with the weirdest vibes, after the school that is. You don't have a bad set up here though; it's a lot nicer than before." Cordy said looking around the warehouse that the Scooby's now used to meet and train. It was rather nice inside; they had covered the floor with a rich burgundy carpet the walls were covered by bookcases full of books on demons, spells, and other things of that nature. One side of the warehouse was set up as a living room most likely where the gang did there research, the other side was a training room.

Xander seeing that Cordy was scooping out the place offered her a tour. Nodding her head in agreement she fallowed him to the doors at the other side of the room. One door led to a central bathroom, one to kitchen, and there were six others that were bedrooms they used incase of crisis.

"So where did you guys manage to find this place? It's perfect for you." Cordy asked in aw of the steps they made to move there little Scooby operation up in the world.

"We didn't at first; we were still working out of the school when we came here to dust a nest of vamps. It seemed so perfect for us so Wes Faith's watcher looked into it for us, turned out no one owned it the owner had been killed years before and it was just sitting here. So Wes had used council money to purchase it for us." "Come on lets introduce you properly to Faith."

Cordy nodded and they moved over to the living area where Faith was currently spread back along a coach.

"Faith." Xander said, Faith looked up. "This is Cordy she's an old Scooby she left not to long after Buffy's death. Right now she's an actress." Turning to Cordy he said" Cordy this is Faith the Scooby's resident slayer."

The girls looked each other up and down a moment before smiling and shaking hands. Seeming to ignore Xander the girls felling into girl like conversation about life on the hell mouth and its effects on your wardrobe. Seeing that they were good with each other Xander called out his good bye and took off to pick up Willow and Tara from campus. Everyone was staying at the warehouse tonight kind of a celebration for taking down the latest badie and an initiation for Tara since her and Willow were official on Tuesday. He was happy for his Wills Tara was a great girl and they both deserved a good relationship. Now all he had to worry about was finding someone for himself and that was going to be a much harder challenge.
