Summary: A new take on the cliche 'Buffy jumps and ends up in a new universe.
Softly glowing figures stood before a pool of water, gazing down upon the world that they had taken into their protection. The humans were curious little creatures to them. Some were good, some bad but all given a choice. The way these humans fought for what they believed in, be it good or evil was fascinating to the higher beings watching.
They were partial to watching those who fought for them. That was what they were watching now. This particular champion had done much good but her time on this plane was coming to an end and the powers were ... Was this feeling sadness, they wondered? They *liked* this champion. She did what was needed of her and accepted nothing less from those around her. There hadn't been a champion like her in many a century.
So it was that these higher beings, The Powers-That-Be, truly interfered for the first time.
As the girl, the Slayer, Buffy Summers jumped from the tower to save her sister - the higher beings shifted before the pool, sending power to the portal and twisting it. The portal would not arrive at its intended destination but one of their choosing.
The portal swallowed the girl whole, leaving no body behind for her friends to resurrect.
-----
Buffy groaned, pain likes waves lapping at the shore rushed through her body. She tried to pry her eyes open but only succeeded in causing herself more pain. Without sight she let her senses take over.
She was lying on something both hard and soft. The ground? A very firm bed? Buffy wasn't sure. There was a cool cloth on her forehead which as if noticing her attention sent a moments relief through her tired frame. There was also someone in the room with her. She struggled to move but gave up with a slight pant.
"Don't move. You will only cause yourself more pain. Rest." Buffy couldn't tell if the voice was male or female but it comforted her as the blackness of sleep sucked her back under.
So, who is it? Where is Buffy? I have no idea where I wanted this story to go. I just remember that I wanted to show the Powers in a different light. So, with the story wide open the choice of which verse (crossover or Original) Buffy landed in is all up to you.
