A/N - Here's part two already! Here you'll learn more about Selene, and spot a little Buffy reference... it had to be done, I'm sorry!

"My what?"

"Cousin," Selene repeated, frowning at the look she was receiving. "You did know…" she paused, sighing, and turned back to Galvin. "You didn't tell him?"

"It never came up." Galvin shrugged. "I didn't think you'd suddenly show up like this – last I heard, you were in California."

"I was," Selene said. "Turns out they have their own slayer, and she likes to pretend that she doesn't need any help."

"That seems to be a trait among all slayers," he rolled his eyes. "What was she like?"

"Blonde. And she used to be a cheerleader, of all things."

"At least she's flexible," Ruby snorted.

"I'm sorry, who are you?"

"Ruby. I'm a friend of Luke's."

"A friend? Is that wise?"

"My thoughts exactly," Mina said, sighing when Ruby stuck her tongue out at her. "I heard that."

"You were supposed to."

"So you're working with children now?" Selene asked Galvin, eyebrows raised.

"I didn't have a choice with Luke," he said, looking over at the two teenagers. "And where he goes, Ruby follows."

"How exactly did you not have a choice? You could have waited."

"He had to be told before he was attacked."

"You know as well as I do that I could have stopped that from happening," Selene said. "I could have had him watched constantly."

"Well forgive me for not wanting to put the future of the Van Helsing line in the hands of your soldiers."

"You've never had a problem with them before," Selene frowned, "so why would you… oh you old fashioned… you just wanted a boy!"

"That's not true."

"Oh it is! You almost had a heart attack when my father died and left me in charge of the company!" She shook her head, laughing. "You're just as bad as Dracula – he's always favoured his son."

"Wait, go back – what company?" Luke asked, looking confused.

"The Hellsing Organisation," Selene sighed, amazed that Galvin had failed to tell him about it already. "Our great grandfather turned the family house into headquarters for it. At the time there were a select few people, now it's full of soldiers trained specifically to kill half-lives."

"Right…"

"And going back again," Ruby cut in. "I thought Dracula was dead?"

"Oh god no," Mina shook her head. "The old bat will outlive us all just to spite me."

"Just… don't call him old to his face. He really doesn't like to be reminded of his age," Selene said, and Luke stared, eyes wide.

"You've met Dracula? The Dracula?" Selene nodded.

"His son works for me. Well, he likes to say 'with' me… I think he secretly resents working beneath a Van Helsing."

"Are you sure he's really a Dracula?" Mina smirked, and Selene laughed.

"You have a filthy mind."

"I was turned by a Dracula, what do you expect?"
