Chapter 13 - The way of the slayers and the scoobies
Milky way galaxy, One of Anubis's upgraded mother ships,
"Faith down" Dana's voice said as she threw a battle axe at the older slayer.
Faith dropped to the ground and when she felt the axe pass her back to her feet smiling as she saw the now dead Jaffa who had managed to sneak up on her.
"Thanks, watch your six" Faith warned.
There was no need for the warning as Dana had already sensed the super soldier come up to her. Spinning around Dana kicked the staff weapon from his hands, caught it and impaled the super soldier with it. She then ripped the staff out of him with both hands and kicked the dying super soldier away from her. Before joining Faith to take care of the remaining Jaffa and super soldiers.
Faith used the slayer scythe to hit any energy blasts coming at her from zats and staff weapon away from her, usually the blast would end up blasting other Jaffa and super soldiers so most of the Jaffa and super soldiers had taken up hand to hand combat with the two slayers.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Milky way galaxy, some planet close to Anubis's upgraded mother ship with Osiris on it,
Willow looked at Jack, Carter, Teal'c and Daniel "Here we go, get ready." She told them and moments later they disappeared in a red flash.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Milky way galaxy, One of Anubis's upgraded mother ships, Osiris's chamber,
"Why haven't those two girls been eliminated yet!?" Ossiris demanded to know from her first prime.
"These female's possess strength greater then our Jaffa, even Anubises' super soldiers are no match for them." Her first prime informed her.
Osiris eyes flashed golden and she was about to punish her first prime when she paused and looked thoughtful "I wonder if these girls are part off the Tau'ri who have been striking successfully against Anubis and other Goa'uld system lords lately." She said to herself.
"Goddess?" her first prime asked.
"Search the ship, these two are merely diver-" Osiris never managed to finish her sentence as a red glow filled her chamber and suddenly several people of Tau'ri as well as a Jaffa she recognized of working with the Tau'ri for a while now. The former prime of Apophosis.
"Insolent fools, you have come for your own death." Osiris told them activating her personal shield.
"I think you're wrong about that snakehead, you're the one going to die today." Colonel Jack O'Neill said before he used his gun and opened fire on the Jaffa, unprotected by a shield.
"You know you baddies really need to come up with more original lines." Willow told Osiris.
Osiris eyes flashed golden before she fired at the redheaded Tau'ri. Her eyes widened when Willow merely held up her hand and the energy blast was stopped by a force field.
"What is this you Tau'ri do not possess the technology to create a force field." Osiris said to her, her eyes flashing golden again angrily.
"Oh scary." Willow told her "I'm a lot more scary." She added her eyes turning black as she started chanting softly.
"What are you girl?" Osiris demanded to know as she continued to fire her device at Willow but all shots got stopped by her force field.
"Oh my, is the great Goddess Osiris afraid of a mere mortal girl?" Daniel asked her smirking before ducking en energy shot coming at him from her.
Osiris eyes flashed golden again and she moved her arm up to shoot the Tau'ri male again for his insolence. Suddenly the Tau'ri previous who was previously a red head and now had black hair spoke one word in a language Osiris did not recognize. Pain shot through her hand and she screamed out and looked at it and saw that her once beautiful hand was now gone.
"Nice." Carter told Willow.
"What did you do?" Jack asked her.
"I overloaded her device." Willow told her. Then turned to the false Goddess, "you think you're some Goddess? You are nothing but a small snake occupying a body and giving it a little boost. You know nothing of power and magic." She raised her hands and two dark clouds and lightning appeared before her and formed into Dana and Faith. "That is magic." Willow told her.
"Hey Will, thanks for the ride, it was getting a bit hairy out there." Faith told her then turned to Osiris "Hi, I'm Faith. This is Dana, we're here to kill you." She said cheerily then turned to Dana "Here you go D. Have fun." Faith said tossing her the Scythe.
"Such insolence, you are going to pay for this. Anubis will destroy you for this." Osiris told them.
Willow who was back to normal looked at Faith and Dana then at Osiris "Is that supposed to scare us?" Willow asked causing an outraged scream from Osiris as she charged at Willow who didn't even flinch as Dana used the Scythe to chop Osiris head off.
The doors burst open and Willow eyes turned black again as she raised an force field around SG-1 and the three Scooby additions to that team. "I hope you don't mind but we killed you false God." Jack told them calmly.
"Osiris is…dead?" a Jaffa asked.
Faith kicked the head of the false God towards them. "As dead as they get." She told them.
"But she was…False God." Another Jaffa said.
"Indeed she was. As is Anubis." Teal'c told them.
"We will join the Jaffa rebellion against the false Gods." A Jaffa told them.
"The more the merrier, as long as you know that this baby here is going to Earth for the defense." Faith told them.
'I hadn't even thought of that…the plan was get in, use the distraction of Faith and Dana to get to Ossiris, take her out and get out. Now we have a ship and not just any ship but one of Anubises' upgraded mother ships and a lot of Jaffa to join the Jaffa rebellion. Here is doing things a Scooby way…have I been hanging out with Xander too much?' Jack wondered to himself.
"You have earned it by killing the false God Osiris." The Jaffa told her.
"Good to know we're clear on that. We'll drop you off on Chulak. A member of the resistance there will put you to good use in the Jaffa rebellion." Colonel O'Neill told them.
"We are agreed, but we should first kill the remaining super soldiers on board." The Jaffa told him.
"We got it" Faith told Jack "You focus on getting the ship flying to Chulak or wherever."
"I'll help them." Willow told Faith "You and Dana can handle them, just think my name and I'll be there if you need me." She informed them.
"You got it Red, come on D., let's go kick some super soldier ass." Faith told her.
"Should be fun." Dana said smiling at Faith.
"Lead the way Jaffa man." Faith told the Jaffa.
The Jaffa raised an eyebrow, in a very Teal'c way before showing her the way.
"You know I should feel worried about two girls going up against super soldiers but instead I feel almost sorry for the super soldiers." Jack told the others but all seemed to be too interested in the Goa'uld technology now at their disposal to really listen to him.
Jack watched them and sighed "geeks" he muttered softly to himself before heading over to them to see if they needed a hand.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Pegasus galaxy, off world, village,
"Please, take me, just leave my family alone." A man begged a male Wraith who ignored him and walked passed him to a human who Buffy guessed was the man's wife. Despite how terrified the woman must feel she started at the Wraith with hatred. The Wraith grabbed her ignoring the pleas from the woman's husband and the scared cries of the two children and was about to feed off her.
Buffy threw a Wraith towards John before putting a knife through the skull of another while John stabbed the Wraith coming at him in the heart, twisted the knife and pulled it out. They had been quietly taking out 8 Wraith guards all over the village. When Buffy heard a man plea and children scream. She glanced at John a moment before both sprinted towards the screaming.
Buffy was first and immediately acted on what she saw throwing the knife with precision and speed into the male Wraith's hand which he was about to use for feeding. John came up behind her and shot a guard with his gun while Buffy flipped over the other guard and snapped his neck.
The male Wraith snarled at Buffy and Sheppard as he took out the dagger "you will die for that." The Wraith told Buffy.
"Please, you want to know how many times I've heard that line before. Why can't you bad guys ever come up with something original." Buffy told him then turned to the family and John "I swear it's like they are all equally stupid." Then turned back to grab a fist coming from the male Wraith at her. Buffy glared at the Wraith as she squeezed the fist with her slayer strength and made the Wraith wince before throwing his other fist at her. Buffy simply pushed the fist in her hand back and then dropped to the ground and used her leg to sweep his legs out from under him making the Wraith lose his balance and dropped on his ass.
"That was so rude" she scolded the Wraith who snarled angrily before jumping up asking "What are you?"
"Now what did I tell you about being rude." Buffy said before she launched into attack throwing punches and kicks at the Wraith who only blocked about half of them. A well placed roundhouse kick made the Wraith stumble back.
"You haven't even told me your name and you're already asking me mine. Didn't your mother teach you any manners?" she continued the lecture the Wraith.
The Wraith launched at her again but Buffy grabbed his arm and brought it down hard unto her knee, breaking the arm and then used the arm to turn the Wraith's back to her before she grabbed his head with both her hands "I am a slayer." She told him before snapping his neck.
"You…you killed them." The man of the house told her.
Buffy was about to retort when John said "We've got incoming. I think killing that Wraith alerted the others that we're here."
Buffy reached for her back and pulled a crossbow out "Let's take them out then." She said loading a bolt in place.
The remaining twelve Wraith guards were easily killed by bullets, crossbow bolts and Buffy's sword, which she used when she ran out of crossbow bolts.
Among the pile of dead Wraith, survivors of the village came out walking towards them.
"They killed them…the Wraith are dead." A woman said.
"She fought a Wraith hand to hand and beat him easily. Said she was a slayer. What's a slayer?" the man who's life as well as his families lives Buffy and John had saved.
"A very powerful warrior." His wife told him walking towards Buffy. "I owe you my life, as does everyone in this village. What can I do to repay you oh great slayer of Wraith." The woman dropped to her knees, as soon everyone else in the village did.
Buffy looked at John who looked equally uncomfortable with this "Please get up." Buffy told them. "I was happy to help, really. We come from the ancient city of the Ancestors. We're looking for friends who we can establish relations with." She told him diplomatically.
"We would be happy to establish relations between your people and ours." A elderly man said coming towards her, the woman and John.
"I'm Major John Sheppard and this is Buffy Summers." John introduced them.
"Buffy Summers, Major Sheppard. I am Kuturah, leader of the Drevian people of this village." Kuturah introduced himself.
"Cool, so about these trade relations you wouldn't happen to have any good food available, would you. I am starving." Buffy told him.
"Buffy, we should check in with Weir. She can handle the trade relations from there." Sheppard told her.
Buffy looked at him thoughtful "alright, but since I'll be missing a meal because of you, you are cooking me one when we get back in Atlantis."
"Please, do not leave so quickly. Stay for the feast we will prepare for you." Another woman said to them.
"That's really nice and all but we should really report back in. We'll be back soon." Sheppard told them.
"Do you have people wounded that need medical attention because we can sent our doctor to help them." Buffy told them.
"None of us are gravely injured, there are dead. Nothing we can't handle ourselves. But thank you for the offer, Buffy Summers." Kuturah told her.
"Call me Buffy." Buffy replied "got to jet before Weir hair turns grey like my dads." Buffy told them and they looked at her puzzled, not understanding what she was saying.
Buffy ignored it, waved farewell before walking away from the village with John.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Atlantis, gate room,
Buffy and John came through the gate.
"I don't know about you but that was just creepy. It made me kinda miss Sunnydale." Buffy said to John.
"Well in their eyes you were their savior." John pointed out.
"Major Sheppard, Buffy. Welcome back. Debriefing in half an hour." Weird told them.
They nodded then Buffy said "Well I wasn't the only one killing Wraith there. You were there too and they weren't calling you their savior."
John laughed "yeah but I didn't take on a Wraith hand to hand and made it look like he was nothing compared to me." He pointed out.
Buffy groaned "Why couldn't these people just be like the Sunnydale residents and do the whole selective memory and rationalization process of the supernatural world in to the natural world." She asked.
"Maybe because these people know that there is a supernatural world and Wraith because of their stargate access." Sheppard told her.
"You know you making sense and being all rational isn't helping me to unbecome the 'Wraith Slayer' to these people." Buffy told him.
"You think they'll start making action figures of you and stalk you with paparazzi?" John asked her.
Buffy looked at him and sighed "I guess you're right, I mean it's just one planet."
"Exactly, how bad can one planet who knows who you are be." he stated earning him a hard glare from Buffy "What?" he asked.
"You just jinxed it." She stated upset.
"Jinxed it?" Teyla asked who both hadn't really noticed but had been following since they got back to Atlantis.
Buffy had sensed someone walking with them but had ignored it since she was talking to John and it had probably just a scientist. Buffy looked at Teyla "You know jinxed it, a almost harmless situation turned bad because someone said something that makes evil think they have something to prove to said person and thus make the situation very bad."
"Oh come on, don't tell me you actually believed that?" John asked.
Buffy looked at him like he was crazy if he didn't. "Of course I believe it, there have been enough craziness in my life and people jinxing evil to tell me that anyone not believing it is either ignorant, stupid or in denial."
"Name one." McKay asked also having come up somewhere during the jinx debate.
"Ok well…Oh there was this one time in high school where I had to prepare the school for parent teacher night and fight some dangerous vamps on Saturday on the night of Saint Vigeous. My friend Xander said during that time that so long as nothing bad happens before Saturday things would work out, thus jinxing it. The vamps crashed parent teacher night killed people and Spike almost killed me until my mom hit him with an axe." Buffy said smiling fondly at the memory.
"And yet the people of Sunnydale remained in the dark about vampires?" John asked.
"Of course, to them it was an attack of gangs on PCP." Buffy told him.
"And you actually miss this place Sunnydale?" Teyla asked her.
"Well it beats people almost worshipping you for saving their lives. I'm just an normal woman you know" Buffy stated then added "I just happened to have a little more strength, speed and stamina then regular humans."
"You bring hope to those who have none." Teyla stated.
"Yeah well it's better they not count on me too much. I can't save everyone." Buffy stated painful flashes of faces of those she failed to save flashing before her eyes. Spike, Angel, Jesse, Ford(her friend from LA), Larry, other students at graduation, Merrick, those people who died when she didn't patrol the night before she went to face the master, Anya, Spike again, Angel again, Initiative soldiers, Forrest, potential slayers, newly called slayers, the list was interrupted by Teyla's voice.
"That is true, but is it not good to feel you saved some rather then none." Teyla told her.
Buffy glared hard at the woman "You have no idea what life as a slayer is like. It's not all good, you see people die, a lot of people. Not being able to save them, you have no idea what that does to a person, what it's still doing to me. I've faced death when I was only 15 years old, I saw my watcher die, I got handed a destiny that pretty much includes an early death for me. You don't know what's it's like to go out every night to slay vampires and demons and other forces of evil and face the thought that this night may be the last you go out. If it weren't for Xander I would have died when I was 16. I can't get cocky and overconfident in slaying because that's when you make mistakes, the ones that will get you killed. You think facing some pale blue life sucking aliens once every what? 20, 50 years is bad? When imagine having to fight Wraith almost every night for the past 9 years. It's hard, very hard. It is getting easier because now there are a lot more slayers and we have witches and watchers who help. But it wasn't like that in the beginning. Imagine being a scared 15 year old girl who just killed a master vampire by the name of Lothos. Your watcher, the only person who understood you somewhat is dead. Your boyfriends wants to be danger man so you can't be with him because him being in your life will get him killed. You tell your parents about vampires and they lock you up in an institution for the insane! Then when you get out, you continue to slay, covertly. Burn down a gym full of vamps and are expelled from school. Your parents divorce and you move to your mother to the mouth of hell wher the only people keeping me sane for the first 2 years were my friends Willow, Xander, my watcher Giles and my new boyfriend Angel who just happened to be a vampire cursed with a soul, which he then loses when you sleep with him on then fight of your seventeenth birthday. You have the next months to deal with a viscous vampire wearing the face of the man you loved who then kills one of your teachers who happens to be your watchers girlfriend, then starts to bring about the end of the world only to be recursed with a soul again by Willow. But you still have to kill him and sent him to hell because he had already started the ritual which would literarily suck the world into hell. No my life feels so good by saving all those people but losing the ones I love." Buffy said angrily before stalking off past Ford towards her quarters.
Ford walks up to Sheppard, Teyla and McKay "What's up with her?" he asked them.
"She had a hard life." Teyla told him before walking away after Buffy.
"A hard life? She has super strength, stamina, haling abilities and speed. She got to fight vampires and kill them. How hard can a life like that be, it sounds pretty cool to me." He told the remaining two.
"How about facing the reality that every time you go out at night to fight vampires that it may be your last night out." Sheppard told him before he too walked past Ford towards his quarters knowing Teyla would talk to Buffy.
"It still doesn't sound too bad to me." Ford told McKay.
"That is because you haven't been through what Buffy has, you haven't sacrificed what she has and still feel guilty about the people she couldn't save. She said she saved the world from being sucked into hell by killing the man she loved. Think about if you were forced to save the world from being sucked into hell by sacrificing one of your grandparents. I don't know if I'd do it if I had to sacrifice my sister." McKay told him.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Atlantis, Buffy's quarters,
When Teyla opened the doors expecting to find a distraught slayer she was surprised to see Buffy looking in her mirror in a new set of clothing and holding a brush as she attempted to fix her hair.
"Buffy?" Teyla asked.
"Oh hey Teyla. What's up?" Buffy asked her.
"I was concerned for your wellbeing. You left upset." Teyla told her.
"Oh that, sorry about almost biting your head off with that." Buffy apologized.
Teyla looked surprised "That is alright, I shouldn't have made assumptions about your life before I knew more about your life." She told the slayer.
"Don't worry about it." Buffy said dismissing her apology and making final touches to her hair.
"Alright." Teyla said when John came in.
"Hi, everything alright?" he asked.
"Peachy, let's go Weir is waiting for us." Buffy told him as she walked away from the mirror grabbed a jacket from her bed and past John out the door.
John looked at Teyla "What was that all about?" he asked.
There was a white flash and a woman with short brown hair appeared in Buffy's room. All glowy the woman said "That's our Buffy, always compartmentalizing." She told the two.
"Who are you?" Sheppard said his gun pointed at her.
"I'm Cordelia and you can put that down, I'm not here to hurt anyone." She told him.
"You know Buffy?" Teyla asked.
"I went to Sunnydale High with her, we were sort of friends." Cordy told them.
"You said she was compartmentalizing." John told her "Why?"
"It's her way of dealing. It's how she survived so long as the slayer. You see as the slayer she can't afford to let her emotions get in the way of her slaying. She learned this the hard with when Angel lost his soul and became Angelus again. She is the slayer, something that means breaking the law and sometimes it means pushing your personal feeling away in order to do her job. In a way, she is the law. All slayers are, they decide when something needs to be done in order to make the world safer. It's up to the watchers and her friends to make sure she doesn't fall into darkness and make the wrong decision. That doesn't mean they always understand the decision a slayer has to make. Take this for example." Cordelia said and held up her hand and an image appeared in the room, like a TV screen.
On the TV screen a scene could be seen:
A young man with brown hair and Buffy come to a house covered in huge scrapes and gashes.
"That's Xander, one of Buffy's best friends." Cordy informed them.
"I'm more concerned with where that thing came from. If there are more of those spider demons running around, we need to know about it. We should hit the research, find out if-" Buffy stopped talking when she and Xander walk into the living room to see a red hair woman is waiting for them.
"That's Willow, Buffy's other best friend." Cordy told them.
"I know where it came from." Willow said and Buffy and Xander sit down beside each other on the couch, facing Willow who's in the chair.
"How many?" Buffy asked.
"Ten, twelve." Willow replied.
"When were you planning on telling us?" Xander asked.
"I'm telling you now." Willow replied.
"Great. Thank you. Willow, it's Anya. How could you let us- How could you not have told us?" Xander told her.
The screen paused as Cordy said "Anya or Anyanka was a vengeance demon who granted wishes to women scorned by men. She did this for a thousand years before she lost her powers and got turned human. She fell in love with Xander and he with her. They were to get married but Xander left her at the alter afraid of turning into his father who was an ass and treated his wife and kid as such too. When Xander left her Anya got her powers back and was a vengeance demon again. She turned a young man into a spider demon when a woman who that man had hurt wished something like it." The scene then continued:
"Xander…" Buffy started to say.
"How could you not have told me?" Xander asked Willow.
"Xander. It's ok. She didn't tell us for a reason. She didn't tell us because she knows what I have to do." Buffy said and Xander looks from Willow to Buffy "I have to kill Anya." Buffy added.
"She's not the Anya that you knew, Xander. She's a demon." Buffy told her friend.
"That doesn't mean you have to kill her." Xander replied.
"Don't act like this is easy for me. You know it's not." Buffy told him.
"There are other options." Xander told her.
"I've considered them." Buffy replied.
"When? Just now? Took you all of ten seconds to decide to kill one of your best friends?" Xander asked her.
"The thought that it might come to this has occurred to me before. It's occurred to you, too." Buffy told him calmly.
"But we can change what she did. Fix it. These are mystical deaths, right? There has to be something." Xander told them and looked at Willow.
"I don't have anywhere near that kind of power. I didn't have that kind of power when- And I-I don't think I trust the power I do have." Willow informed him.
"It's ok." Buffy said to Willow, then to Xander "Xander, I know this is hard for you to hear, but it's what I have to do."
"Hard for me to hear? Buffy, you wanna kill Anya!" Xander told her.
"I don't want to." Buffy replied.
"Then don't! This isn't new ground for us. When our friends go all crazy and start killing people, we help them." Xander says and looks at Willow.
Cordy paused it again "Willow got a little hooked on the magic after she pulled Buffy out of Heaven back into this world. She stopped after a while after seeing what it was doing and to get her girlfriend Tara back. Then Warren shot Tara through the heart, killing her and she went off the deep bend. Sucking up books of dark magic on a path to kill Warren and his two best friends. She got to Warren, flayed him alive. Xander got to her before she ended the world and she got better." The scene continued again:
"Sitting right here." Willow told him hurt.
"I'm sorry. But it's true." Xander told her.
"It's different." Buffy informed him.
"Because you don't care about her the same way I do. Buffy, I still love her." Xander told her.
"I know. And that's why you can't see this for what it really is. Willow was different. She's a human. Anya's a demon." Buffy told him.
"And you're the slayer. I see now how it's all very simple." Xander told her.
"It is never simple." Buffy said to him.
Xander stands before saying "No, of course not. You know, if there's a mass-murdering demon that you're, oh, say, boning, then it's all gray area."
Cordy paused again "Spike is a vampire who had a chip in his head that prevented him from killing people. He sorta turned good after a while and helped Buffy out. Buffy wasn't dealing well with being pulled out of Heaven and let him in, even began to love him, she hated herself because of that and eventually put an end to it. Spike almost raped her after that and when that didn't work got himself a soul. Died destroying an army of Turok Han's, strong vampires. Then got back only to die again in the battle in LA against the Wolf's the Heart's and the Ram's demon army." The scene continued again:
"Spike was harmless. He was helping." Buffy told him.
"He had no choice." Xander replied.
"And Anya did! She chose to become a demon. Twice." Buffy pointed out.
"You have no idea what she's going through." Xander told her.
Buffy also stands "I don't care what she's going through!" she told Xander.
"No, of course not. You think we haven't seen all this before? The part where you just cut us all out. Just step away from everything human and act like you're the law. If you knew what I felt-" Xander started to say but Buffy cut into his speech.
"I killed Angel! Do you even remember that? I would have given up everything I had to be with…I loved him more than I will ever love anything in this life. And I put a sword through his heart because I had to." Buffy told him angrily.
"And that all worked out ok." Willow told her.
"Do you remember cheering me on? Both of you. Do you remember giving me Willow's message: Kick his ass." Buffy told them.
"I never said that-" Willow started to say but Xander cut in.
"This is different-" Xander started to say but Buffy cut in.
"It is always different! It's always complicated. And at some point, someone has to draw the line, and that is always going to be me. You get down on me for cutting myself off, but in the end the slayer is always cut off. There's no mystical guidebook. No all-knowing council. Human rules don't apply. There's only me. I am the law." Buffy told them.
"There has to be another way." Xander pleaded.
"Then please find it." Buffy told him and Xander takes his coat and leaves. Buffy goes to the tool chest and grabs a sword. She looks at Willow, wanting her to follow, but Willow doesn't move.
"I can't. I'm sorry." Willow told her and Buffy leaves the house, sword in hand.
The image disappears and Cordy starts talking again "That whole message thing from Willow was Xander giving Buffy that message before she went to kill Angelus to stop the world from being sucked into hell. Willow's actual message was to tell Buffy she was doing to curse again." Cordy explained.
"Why are you telling us all of this?" Teyla asked.
"Hey I rather be doing other things as well but Dawn continued to annoy me until I gave in. She really doesn't want her sister compartmentalize everything again but to just move past all her issues and be happy." Cordy told her.
"Why didn't Dawn come herself?" John asked her.
"She's a Power that Be now. She's very busy. There are a lot of dimensions that need help. Plus the other Powers that Be don't want her interfering." Cordy told him.
"But you're interfering right now." Sheppard told her.
"Yeah, while Dawn is keeping the other PtB's busy." Cordy replied.
"Ok, what does Dawn want us to with this information?" Sheppard asked her.
Cordelia looked at him "Buffy's taste in men has gotten better." She said then added "You'll figure it out. This at least will help you understand her."
"Buffy's taste in men…you mean the Major and Buffy are…" Teyla said.
"If you want to ask me if they've had sex, then yes, if they are an item, no. Buffy hasn't had the best of luck when it comes to relationships. And as much fun as it would be to gossip about Buffy's love life you really would have to ask her about it. I'm just here to tell you that although Buffy isn't the easiest person to get to know it is definitely worthwhile. Not that I would know…Buffy and I weren't as you could say very close. But others know, she would do anything for her friends and family. She died for them, she readjusted to life after being pulled out of Heaven for them." Cordy paused again then said "Well tell Buffy I said hi, as do her other dead friends. Oh and Spike said to tell her it wasn't her fault, Angel said that she's forgiven for doubting him and that he should have told her more about what he was doing instead of cutting her out." With that said there was another white flash and Cordy was gone.
"Do you think we're going to get a lot of these messages from dead and ascended people?" Sheppard asked Teyla.
"I have no doubt that Dawn not would abandon her sister and sent whatever aid she would require in order to ensure her wellbeing." Teyla replied.
"Huh, could be interesting. Well I'd better go or I'm gonna be late for the debriefing." Sheppard told her.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Off world, Drevian village,
"It was amazing, she came out of nowhere and started killing the Wraith. The one that almost killed my mother and she fought hand to hand and she bested him easily. She and a man called Major Sheppard killed all the Wraith that the Wraithbringer brought here to our village." A child said to a man who was with the Genii people had been friends with the Drevian people for a long time.
Kuturah smiled at the child then turned to the man and said "The child is not overreacting Kolya. The woman called herself a slayer. The Slayer of Wraith she is. Strong, beautiful, fast and deadly."
"Interesting." Kolya told him as his mind worked on a plan.
"When are they coming back?" he asked Kuturah.
"They said soon, you wish to meet them?" Kuturah asked.
Kolya smiled "Yes, but not yet. Tell them to visit the Genii soon but don't make it sound obvious."
"What are you planning Kolya?" Kuturah asked "I won't sent the Wraith slayer into danger."
"Of course not, we merely wish to meet her. Ask her what makes her able to take out Wraith hand to hand." Kolya told him.
Kuturah was suspicious but after his people had been saved from the Wraith and they had gained hope he pushed those suspicions aside in order to celebrate the death of so many Wraith.
Kolya smiled as he thought 'And if she won't tell us what makes her so special we'll just have to find out another way to learn her secret.'

Atlantis, brig,
Buffy stepped into the brig and looked at the cell in which the Wraith was locked in. "Leave." She ordered the soldier guarding the Wraith. He obeyed her and left and she stepped closer to the conscious Wraith looking at her.
"Who are you?" the Wraith asked her.
"I'm the one darkness and evil fears, the one you Wraith will soon fear." Buffy told him 'God, I'm sounding like the first evil.' She thought then added "I'm the slayer. Well a slayer technically but the others are all in my galaxy."
"Slayer? No, impossible, you are a myth." The Wraith told her.
"Oh I see someone has heard of me, be a nice Wraith and tell me before I beat it out of you." Buffy told him.
"It is a myth, a lie from the Lantiens." The Wraith told her.
"Really, huh. I didn't know the Ancients knew about the slayer. So what else do you know about the slayer?" she asked him.
"I will not tell you." The Wraith told her.
"Ok, you can tell my fist." Buffy said unlocking the cell and stepping inside. The Wraith immediately lunged at her but Buffy was prepared and her fist landed hard against the Wraith's skull staggering him backwards.
The Wraith snarled and lunged at her again only to fall face forwards to the ground when Buffy rolled aside and held out her leg that he tripped over.
"I can do this all day, not to mention that Major Sheppard and I just killed all you friends who were harassing the villagers. Now tell me, what do you know about slayers." Buffy told him as she planted her foot against the Wraith neck so she could easily break it.
"I will tell you nothing." The Wraith told her.
"Really, well then I'll just kill you. I'm sure Dr. Beckett and Dr. Weir won't mind because then Beckett will be able to perform an autopsy on you and learn all there is to learn about your kind." Buffy told him as she tightened her foot against the Wraith's neck.
The Wraith used his arm to grab Buffy's other foot in an attempt to put her off balance and turn the scales. But Buffy foresaw that and jumped up, over the hand and as the Wraith got up used her foot to kick the Wraith hard against his head.
The Wraith looked at her with fear now "You really are the slayer, no human can be that fast or strong, especially a female your size."
Buffy punched the Wraith hard "I don't like people talking about my height." She told the Wraith. "Now slayer-" Buffy stopped when the Wraith snapped his own neck. "Damn it." She cursed before walking out.
As she left the brig she said to the guard posted there "The Wraith killed himself. Get Dr. Beckett there to get the body for examination." Buffy told the guard soldier then checked the time, she had to hurry or she was going to be late for debriefing.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Atlantis, debriefing room,
Buffy walked inside to see Sheppard and Weir already talking. "Sorry I'm late, had to question our now dear departed guest." She told Weir and Sheppard.
"You killed the Wraith we had in the brig?" Weir asked her.
"No I was questioning him. He mentioned that the slayer was a myth and lie by the Lantiens. I decided to beat more out of him since he was unwilling to talk more. He couldn't handle when he was what I could do, started to believe I was the slayer and then he killed himself by snapping his own neck. I told the guard to get Beckett so he can perform an autopsy." Buffy told her and Sheppard.
"The Wraith took its own life?" Weir asked.
"I inspire fear in Wraith, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside." Buffy said smiling before taking a seat.
"I wonder what the Ancients knew about the slayer." Sheppard said to them.
"Maybe they helped the Shadowmen gain the knowledge in order to create the first slayer or something. We know they like entity's since they left one behind. And the stargate has some magical power. Maybe it's in the database here somewhere." Buffy told them.
"The stargate had magical power?" Weir asked.
"Yeah, Willow sensed it almost immediately. She and Major Carter were working on a way to make generators obsolete and use magic to use stargate travel. Portal travel like the one the witch who came here used can be very dangerous and tricky, you could easily end up in another time or place when creating one. It also requires a lot of power." Buffy told her.
"It sounds interesting, and maybe out only hope in regaining contact with Earth if we can't find ZPM's." Weir told them.
"Your sort of friend Cordelia came to visit Teyla and me when you left your room." Sheppard then said changing the subject.
"Cordy? Huh, what did she want?" Buffy asked.
"She wanted me to pass along a message from Spike and Angel. Spike said not to blame yourself, that it wasn't your fault. Angel said that you're forgiven for doubting him and that he should have told you more about what he was doing instead of cutting you out. Oh and Cordy and other dead friends said to say hi." Sheppard told her. "You have the most interesting friends."
"Don't I know it." Buffy told him smiling then asked "Was there something else she wanted?"
"Just to tell Teyla and me about you and your friends a bit." Sheppard told her.
"What exactly did she tell you?" Buffy asked him.
John smiled "just some stuff to make us understand you better."
Buffy was about to ask what again when Weir interrupted "what happened to you two after you ordered the others back trough the stargate?" she asked.
Review please, next chapter Genii and maybe a bit on Dana fitting in with Faith and the other scoobies and SG-1.
