AN: Thank you for reviewing. Sorry, it has taken me so long to update. BTVS doesn't belong to me.
The gang had gathered in the Summers' living room waiting to hear what Giles had found out from the Council. He was silent for a long time knowing that the two chosen slayers wouldn't like the news that he was about to give. After bracing himself for their reaction, he started to speak to get it over with and turned to the blonde slayer.
"So, I spoke with the Council and they agreed to find information on Glory and you'll get it when they arrive sometime this week." Giles said nervously.
"Wait, they're coming here? Can't you get them to not come here? Bad things happen when they come here." Buffy expectedly freaked out.
"Did they say anything about me?" Faith wondered.
"I tried but it was apartment that Travers is an arse. He will be leading this venture and no, Faith, they didn't mention you." The British man responded angry as he talked about the head of the Council.
"Who exactly are these people?" Lilith asked confused.
"They are the people who are supposed to help the slayer battle evil but these guys tend to like us to be subservient. They want us to slay mindlessly with no thought on if we will live or die." Faith answered with spite.
"Sounds like the Initiative and them would have gotten along great." The brunette clone scoffed.
"This is why I want them not here. They have a tendency to try and kill one of us every time they show up." The blonde slayer informed still freaking out.
"You ever tried killing them first or at least breaking a limb?" Lilith wondered causing both of her mentors to give her a disappointed look.
"As much as I like your idea, they're human and as much as I hate to say this we can't kill them or break a limb. We should at least try and keep the higher ground." Buffy responded sternly making the young brunette slayer look away scolded.
"Hey, come on." Faith patted her clone on the shoulder trying to cheer her up. "It would be a good plan if these guys weren't human."
"Thanks, Faith." Lilith mumbled.
The next day, Buffy was training in the back when she heard a disturbance coming from out front. There were three men and a woman surrounding the shop while Travers stood in the middle patronizing Giles. When they saw the blonde, the Watchers turned their attention onto her and glared.
"Ah, Miss Summers, we were wondering whether you would join us or not." Travers spoke.
"So, where's the information, Travers? I didn't think you needed a whole entourage to just come over here and give us the information." Buffy stated trying to hold back on her anger.
"Well, you see, Miss Summers, we want to make sure you deserve this information. So, you'll b…" The smug head Watcher was disturbed as the Magic Box's door was busted in.
Lilith stood in the entrance snarling at the room. If Buffy didn't think something was wrong, she did when she noticed the blood on the hands of the clone soldier.
"Which one of you is Travers?" Lilith growled looking around the room.
There was no answer but there was a subtle shift in the eyes of one of the men. Grabbing the Watcher closest to her, she slammed his head against the wall before advancing towards Travers, who started cowering back. She grabbed the man and flipped him onto the table and started choking him.
"Where is she?" The enraged brunette asked with fury.
"What's going on? Lilith, stop you're killing him." Buffy tried to get the bloody clone to let go without force.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Travers barley ground out.
"He had his men take Faith and now the coward wants to suffer for it then he will until he tells me where she is." Lilith said as she grabbed the index finger of her hostage's hand and snapped it.
"Jesus, Lilith, stop." Buffy yelled, pulling Lilith off the sniveling man on the table.
"Not until that fucker tells me where to find Faith." The brunette attempted to get out of the hold the blonde had her in but Buffy was determined not to let that happen.
"You don't want me to let her go then you should answer her question and give us our information." Buffy demanded.
"Alright, alright, I'll have her and all the information brought here." He yelped out pulling a phone from his pocket.
"You tell them anything else and you won't have to worry about her." The blonde slayer warned and promised at the same time. As Travers talked to his guy, Buffy turned to the brunette, "I need to know what happened."
"Faith and I were about to leave when these guys busted in. they shot us with, I think, tranqs and before I passed out I heard them talk with an English accent. When I woke up, there was one of the men standing watch and I questioned him." Lilith raised her bloody hands before continuing, "He told me he didn't know where she was taken but Travers would."
"This guy, is he alive?" The brunette nodded at the question. "Good. Look, can I leave you with him and trust you won't do anything to hurt him while I run and get a first aid kit from my home?"
"As long as he or his friends don't try anything, he'll be in one piece when you get back." Lilith answered keeping her glare trained on the Watchers.
Buffy ran into her house and backed up when she noticed a figure sitting in one of the chairs. 'Ugh, can this day get any worse?' the blonde groaned in her head as she stared down Glory.
"Well, aren't you even going to offer me anything?" The blonde intruder asked feigning offence.
"What are you doing here?" Buffy asked as she looked around for anything off.
"I'm looking for my key and you have it." Glory stated like it was obvious.
"I'm not going to tell you where it is." The slayer responded with determination and grew frightened as she saw Dawn walk in the room behind Glory.
"Well, what do we have here?" She asked, turning unknowingly to the key she has been searching for. "You must be little sis. Maybe, you know where my key is."
"Dawn, just leave now." Buffy ordered fearfully but the brunette teen just sighed irritated.
"She always does this, taking my things." Dawn complained and Buffy tried to grab a fire poker.
"I could kill you before you even got off a swing." Glory threatened turning back to face the slayer. "Next time, you see me someone will get hurt."
Buffy didn't have time to go over her meeting with Glory as she didn't want to leave Lilith alone with the sources of her anger. She ran towards the Magic Box but was intercepted by three fully armored knights. Ducking the swing of one's sword, she turned and grabbed it free from his grip, driving it into the knight. She ducked under another swing and hit the knight in the head with the hilt end before blocking the swing coming from the other knight. The blonde kicked his sword hand away as she impaled him through. Pulling the last one to his knees, she pulled off his helmet and was shocked to find he was human.
"The key is the link and the link must be severed." He said as he pushed her away and ran.
Buffy walked into the Magic Box to see a very bruised up Faith. She ran over to check on her darker counterpart and started to patch her up.
"Here's your information, Miss Summers. I don't think you deserve it. You see, you have all these crazy people that can't help you in this. This isn't just some other demon you are facing. It's a god." Travers said leaving the room speechless.
AN: Please review and tell me what you think. Hopefully, I won't get too bogged down between updates.
