Chapter 5 – Witches and alien parasites
Colorado Springs, Hotel, Buffy's room,
Buffy just finished sending an email to Willow about doing a spell to locate any more possible hidden aliens on Earth, if there were any more, which she doubted, Willow would find them. Then Buffy set her alarm clock at 6:30 in the morning since although her meeting at SGC didn't start until 9 am, a new watcher arrived at 7 am. She sighed as she grabbed the print out file of the new watcher.
Name: Haley Christen
Age: 27
Abilities: Watcher/Witch
Origin: Holland/the Netherlands
Languages: Dutch, English, Latin, Sumerian…
Buffy sighed as at least 10 more languages were on the list, 'I hope she isn't so stuck up. But a witch…could be useful.' Buffy thought to herself as she began reading some more from the file.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Next day, Colorado Springs, Hotel, Buffy's room,
Buffy hated getting up early, but was nevertheless ready to meet the new watcher for the girls when the time came.
There was a knock on the door "It's open!" Buffy yelled as she finished the final touches of her make up and stepped out of the bathroom to see a young woman about 6 feet tall, black hair, bright ocean blue eyes and a nice form step inside.
"You are Miss Christen, right?" Buffy asked.
"It's Haley. You Buffy Summers?" Haley asked with a slightly bored expression.
"Yes" Buffy replied as she thought 'not your usual watcher' "So how was your flight?" Buffy then decided to ask.
"Long" The new watcher replied.
"That's good, come I'll introduce you to Andrew." Noticing her stuff "You can leave your stuff in my room. We'll see about sleeping arrangements later." Buffy told her.
Buffy knew the new watcher for the girls wasn't the usual stuffy watcher. But knowing Giles wouldn't have sent her to train the girls here if he didn't trust her to be able to be up to the task she wasn't that worried. Even the girls seemed to like her. After they talked for a while, getting to know each other a bit better Buffy had excused herself from them and was headed to the base for her meeting with a good feeling about the watcher, maybe it was because Haley was also a witch that she was so different.
Haley had told Buffy when she left that she should come along because Giles had told her she was going to be a liaison between SGC and the slayers. If SGC needed a slayer she had to ok it and select the slayer most suited for the job.
Buffy nodded and together they left for the base.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Colorado, Cheyenne Mountain, 8:45 am,
"Are you sure she isn't just some nutcase sir?" Carter asked Hammond.
"I talked to the president and he told me that we were not to doubt anything that Miss Summers tells her. He also sent these for me to give to her on his behalf." Hammond said gesturing to a bouquet of flowers.
"The president sent her flowers?" Daniel asked impressed.
"Yes, now Daniel have you been able to find anything more this slayer stuff?" Hammond asked.
"Well like Buffy told us yesterday there are writing that mention a mystical warrior who is called the slayer of vampires, demons and other forces of darkness." Daniel told them.
"She is telling the truth you guys." O'Neill told them. "I stopped by yesterday to talk to her and she took me on one of her patrols." O'Neill paused before saying "As crazy as it sounds vampires are real. I killed some with her last night."
"You killed a vampire? What did they look like? How did you kill it?" Daniel asked him excitedly.
"Vampires are killed by beheading, fire or a stake through the heart." Buffy said coming in. "Holy water just burns them and unless you can make them drink it doesn't kill them. And Crosses hold them off." She added as she took a seat and motioned for Haley to take a seat as well.
General Hammond looked at her and said "Buffy, we decided to start a bit earlier to talk amongst ourselves about what you told us yesterday."
"Well as long as you're not plotting to hand me over to some secret facility to let them run tests on me." She told them causing them to just look at her strangely.
"Like they could." Haley told her a small smile on her face.
"Buffy, who is this?" General Hammond asked.
"She is in the room, kinda rude to ignore her." Buffy told him before adding "Haley Christen here, is a watcher. She will be the liaison between SGC and The new council."
"I thought you were going to be that liaison?" Carter asked her.
"No, I am here to help SGC but I am just one slayer." Buffy told them "My best friend activated all potential slayer using magic."
"Ok first demons and vampires and now magic" Carter told her not believing any of it.
"Magic is real." Haley told them before concentrating on Carter and looked amused as she suddenly let out a startled scream as Carter's chair with her in it floated in the air.
"Amazing." Daniel said looking from the floating chair to Haley.
Haley shrugged and put Carter back down. "I guess." She said looking at Daniel with amusement.
"As you have noticed Haley is more then just a watcher, she is also a witch. I think Giles picked her as liaison between SGC and the council because Haley will not do anything she doesn't want to do and to make sure you military don't force her otherwise." Buffy told them.
"We would never pressure-" Hammond started but Buffy cut in.
"The Initiative did."
"What's the Initiative?" Jack asked.
Buffy looked at the room full of people before taking a deep breath "Well I left off yesterday telling you about the mayor, well after the school blew up and I started at UC Sunnydale there were commando's taking demons and vampire back to their base. There they preformed tests on them and in case of vampires they placed behavior modification chips. This means that when the vampire tries to hurt a human they are in pain. Even though vampires are evil, this was just brutal because it means that they will starve a vampire to death because it can't feed."
"I'm not saying that we should let them feed, just that they should have just killed them." She quickly added. She looked at the group to see if they were still following before continuing "this group of commando's was called the Initiative and led by a Dr. Maggie Walsh who also taught Psychology 101 at UC Sunnydale." Buffy told them.
Now I was taking Psychology 101 at UC Sunnydale and even started dating the TA Riley Finn who I later found out was a commando in the Initiative, this is how I ended up joining the Initiative, briefly. When one of its projects backfired on them big time I was considered and enemy of the Initiative." Buffy paused taking another breath as she explained "Because I wasn't a mindless soldier obeying orders but questioned them causing Riley to question them as well Maggie Walsh tried to have me killed."
"She sent me to some demons with a defective taser. She really didn't know what a slayer was if she expected them to kill me." Buffy told them.
"The government would never kill a civilian just because they asked questions" Daniel told her.
"The NID would" O'Neill told the room as he tried to keep his anger towards them in check. They had tried to kill his daughter.
"Anyways" Buffy continued "Maggie Walsh was trying to create the perfect soldier, part human, part various demons, part machine. She called it Adam and Adam killed her briefly after being activated. Too make a long story short I had to clean up the military's mess."
"You killed it?" Carter asked.
"I killed it, though it wasn't easy and it required the help of my friends. A spell was done by them. Willow was the soul, Giles the brain and Xander the Heart in a all powerful Buffy who ripped his power source from his body." Buffy told them then fell silent.
"We found out a few days ago that The Initiative was tied to the Vice President, Kinsey." Haley added.
" I was told by a messenger of The Powers That Be that I had to come here and that we had to tell the president everything." Buffy told them.
"Messenger from The Powers That Be?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah, The Powers That Be are the ones who keep the balance between good and evil until the end of days." Haley explained "They are the ones who used to pick which potential slayer is called as the next slayer when the old one dies along with other things."
"A while back there was this really big bad called the First Evil. It is non corporal and can take the form of anyone who has been dead. The First tried to exterminate the slayer line, first all potential slayers and watchers then Faith, then me. We managed to scramble some potentials up in Sunnydale and tried to stop it. In doing so my best friend Willow changed the rules of the Slayer line. It is no longer one girl in all the world, No longer one Chosen One…"
Buffy thought for a moment before adding "Ok I already made it the Chosen Two with Faith but Willow made it so that every girl that had the potential to become a slayer will be a slayer. So there are a lot of us out there and we've been finding new slayers and training them ever since."
"This is big because we now finally have a chance to win this ongoing war between good and evil. So Buffy, her friends and the other slayers managed to beat the First army of Turok Han's. A Turok Han is very strong vampires, harder to kill. When one of her friends activated a amulet defeating most of Turok Han army the Hellmouth started collapsed taking Sunnydale with it into a sinkhole." Haley finished.
Everyone was starring at either Buffy or Haley trying to take this all in. "Who are the flowers for…Jack did you finally decided to step up and give Carter here flowers?" she asked causing both Carter and Jack to turn as red as beets.
Deciding to save the two General Hammond said "They are for you Miss" At Buffy glare he corrected himself "Buffy. They are from the president."
"The president sent you flowers?" Haley asked "I wonder if he and the prime minister of England are competing for you."
Buffy took the flowers that General Hammond gave her and smelled them smiling before she read the card.
Buffy,
Thank you for saving the world a lot.
Henry Hayes
"They are my favorite flowers. But I loved the chocolates Tony sent." Buffy told them.
"You are on first name bases with Prime minister Tony Blair?" General Hammond asked.
Buffy nodded then remembered something "Oh I almost forgot, Faith asked me to relay a message to you General Hammond." She told him.
"A message, from who?" General Hammond asked confused.
"I think The Powers that Be, Faith didn't say. Just said slayer dream. There is some kind of site built by the Ancient somewhere in Antarctica." Buffy told him.
That seemed to grab everyone but Haley's attention "A site built by the Ancients?" Dr. Jackson asked.
"That's what she said, somewhere in Antarctica, probably under layers of ice. But you guys can probably use a satellite to scan beneath the ice looking for some kind of structure…right?" Buffy asked.
They were looking at here briefly before General Hammond said "Can you ask Faith to draw what she saw in her dream?"
"I'll ask her to fax it over. Meanwhile now that I have told you about why the president approved me being here, even let your doctor here prod with me a needle to confirm I don't have a snake in me, can we get to what exactly you guys did to get these Goa'uld pissed at us all."
"Are you sure you want to be a part of this Buffy? I mean after everything that's happened in your life wouldn't you just want to live a normal life?" Jack asked her.
"Tried that, several times in fact, but even thought I am not the only slayer anymore I can't sit back while other girls are risking their lives to make the world safer. Besides last time I tried having a normal life I ended up dating a Goa'uld system Lord. Even though I didn't know he was one. The Immortal learned the hard way not to mess with me." Buffy told them.
"You dated a Goa'uld system Lord!?" Carter yelled then realized "There is a Goa'uld system Lord on Earth!?"
"Not anymore, Buffy killed it." Jack jumped in.
"You knew!?" Carter then accused.
"Buffy and I had a long talk last night?" Jack told her.
"Don't worry Carter, it's nothing personal. Jack is still in love with you. He has been looking at you every time you weren't looking at him after I made the comment about the flowers." Buffy told her.
Buffy smiled as her father and Carter again blushed a deep color red before Jack managed to get out "Buffy is my daughter" causing the rest of SG-1 including General Hammond, Dr. Frasier and Haley already knew to chorus "What?!" "Your daughter!?" simultaneously while Teal'c merely rose an eyebrow and Haley simply said "huh"
"I found out a couple of days ago and told Jack yesterday." Buffy told them.
"How did you find out? Are you sure?" Hammond asked.
"It is true, Colonel O'Neill asked me to confirm it to be certain." Dr. Frasier told the room.
"You knew about this too!" Carter yelled accusingly.
"Well it wasn't up to me to inform you about this and you can't expect Jack to just blindly accept this without proof. I mean he doesn't know me and here I am suddenly with presidential authorization telling him I'm his daughter. He needed some time to let it sink in and make sure it isn't some kind of trick played on him." Buffy told her.
Carter looked at the short blond, "I'm sorry for yelling. It's just a little much to take in."
"I know, so alien parasites?" Buffy said changing the subject.
"Well our main problem is Anubis, a non corporeal being. Anubis ascended with help of technology. He's got a lot of Jaffa and super soldiers who are just instruments and don't think for themselves. He also go a Goa'uld Ossirus helping him. He's got strong upgraded mother ships and a lot of fire power." O'Neill told her.
Buffy thought for a moment then said "So Ossirus we can kill, maybe we can somehow jam Anubis's control over his super soldiers with magic." She looked at Haley.
"It's possible." She told her.
"And Willow can probably make Anubis corporal so we can kill him as well." Buffy told them. "Now we just have to find a way to get to them." She told them.
"Are you insane, we can't just go up to Anubis make him corporal and kill him. We'd all get killed!" Carter told her.
Buffy sighed "Well that was before you had access to slayers and magic." She told her. "He may be powerful and think he's some kind of a God but everyone and everything eventually dies. Even Gods." She said looking at her father.
"She's right" O'Neill told them "but it is still very dangerous." He told her.
"And something Anubis won't be expecting. Besides these Jaffa are not being controlled by snakes, right?" Buffy asked looking at Teal'c.
Teal'c nodded "The Jaffa think Anubis is a God, but he is a false God and if he were to be killed the Jaffa will see it and join the rebellion against the false Gods."
"See, it isn't too complicated. We just have to do it Scooby style and Anubis and Ossirus are soon history and maybe we can get our hands on some of his spaceships to defend Earth…which brings me to my next question. Why haven't the Goa'uld attacked Earth?"
"Scooby style?" Teal'c asked.
"Old tv show, I'll explain later" O'Neill told him.
"Another alien species called the Asgard protect our planet. Should the Goa'uld attack us the Asgard would retaliate." Daniel told her.
"So we have Ancients, Asgard, Goa'uld, is there any other species we know about."
"Most of the Ancients ascended, others were killed by a plague." Daniel told her "The only other races we know about are the Nox and the Furlings. The Nox have become pacifists and the Furlings have disappeared."
"Huh, well maybe a locator spell can find them if they are still out there." Haley told them.
"Maybe." Buffy said "But if it is one thing I have learned is that you can't wait on other to help you, you have to help you."
An alarm went off and a soldier came in saying "Sir, we have a unscheduled off world activation."
Review please.
