Reviews very much welcome but please be gentle – it's my first time... lol.

A/N sorry but this chapter is pretty much exposition – I'd only planned on this story being a quick one chapter story but as you may have guessed it's taking on a life of it's own.

This chapter just basically sets up where the slayers now live, its probably a bit boring, compared to the slayers interacting, but it does set up the whole building, and all the different places which this story could end up getting set ;)

To compensate I'm uploading chapter 5 simultaneously :)

Slayer central was a hotel that they had been turned into a school, what with all the Scooby gang, potentials turned slayers in training (SIT's), and the new watchers council Giles was setting up with help from Willow and Dawn. As well as the armoury and training zones that Xander was in charge of. They needed the room. For obvious reasons Slayer central was only a nickname for the building, but they had called it 'Sunnydale School of Specialised learning' in memoriam of their old home, when naming the hotel for business purposes. As far as the outside world was concerned Slayer central was a school for pupils of all ages who had a special gift for sports or language. Which was technically true as both new watchers and Slayers were given the same basic training.

When you walked into the hotel there was a reception type area, where there was a map of the building with guides to what was on each floor to help visitors. There was also a small seating area with a water cooler, a corridor leading to the training rooms, and of course a lift and the stairs, which lead to the rest of the building. On the back wall there was a large French window leading to a garden area. Which had a beautiful decked area set up with a barbeque and plenty of patio furniture. Just past the decked area was an outside training area with an obstacle course, and a second entryway to the inside training rooms that Xander was in charge of creating and maintaining.

The training rooms had everything from simple gym type set ups to training dummies, and a room which had lots of mats set up for sparring. Also for obvious reasons there was an infirmary set up with also sorts of bandaging, and sterilising equipment and pain relief kept in a locked cabinet with only the Top floor residents holding keys.

Then at the end of the corridor there was a staircase, which only lead down to the basement. In the basement there were a few more training rooms, Xander's office/ wood shop were he carried out repairs to the training equipment, and the armoury. The armoury contained draws full of stakes, racks full of crossbows and bolts, staffs, swords and other assorted weaponry that cold be used against vampires and other demons.

Then on the 2nd floor was the library, Giles' office and Willow's office. Giles and Willow had their own offices as Willow was trying to gather up any watchers with magical powers and other mystics to gain knowledge for the new council as they were having to regain all the lost knowledge of the council that burned. Also the mystics were trying to track the lost slayers who had come into power and Willow was in charge of coordinating these efforts.

Where as Giles was organising the watchers without magics who were to guide the individual slayers as they arose. He was also collating all the information gained by Willow and any books that were sent in by the other members of the council into the library.

Giles' had relented on his opinion of computers as tools for knowledge once Willow showed him how he could email the other watchers and usevideo calling to conference with them to collate data. Willow was also scanning in all the books for him into a data base which could be accessed by the council, but she always read them through to check that no demons would be accidentally released into the internet again as she had never forgotten about Moloch.

The 3rd just consisted of meeting rooms and classrooms. Some of the slayers who'd been activated were still young and would need schooling, and the new watchers would also need training. Giles, Willow and Andrew were going to teach all the usual; maths, English and science classes for the new young recruits, along with ancient language basics, and demonology. It had been decided that Buffy and Faith would take care of their 'sports' lessons. The watchers would have extra lessons in demonology and Ancient language, and the slayers would get extra 'sports' lessons. This was because everyone agreed that after what had happened with the first evil, it was important that all watchers could defend themselves, and that the slayers should be able to do research on demons at least on a basic level, unlike with the old council, which had always restricted information for slayers only allowing the watchers to hold information.

The 4th floor consisted of; four living rooms with large sofas, big screen televisions as well as several games consoles, three kitchens, with large stocks of food for all the hungry slayers, and three games rooms with pool tables, air hockey and darts, so that when everyone got a chance to relax they had plenty of choice of what to do. This was mostly because once everything was up and running the hotel was expected to house a lot of slayers and watchers in training. Which was also why there were four floors set aside ready and waiting for people to arrive, all the rooms were currently set as single rooms but were easy to convert in to shared rooms if the need did arise

But the top floor was restricted for only the permanent residents. The Scooby gang all had rooms, Buffy and Faiths rooms were connected by a bathroom, then there was Amanda's room, Vi's room, and Rhona's room, and a bathroom all of which was all on one side of the corridor. Buffy and Faith had pulled the original Slayer cards too claim the shared bathroom that meant they didn't have too walk down the corridor for a shower in the morning or when coming back from slaying.

On the other side of the corridor, lived Giles, Xander, Dawn, Andrew, and Willow and Kennedy sharing a room, and of course another Bathroom.

The only way to access the top floor was via a special Key for the lift, the stairs also had a specific lock on them for the top floor. This was the same downstairs in the basement armoury. This was so that no students could get on to the top floor or in the armoury, these were the only zones that only the permanent resident were allowed, which allowed a lot of freedom to all the students so they could have there own independence while still keeping certain areas secure.

read on to the next chapter to continue the fluff.
