Disclaimer: don't own BTVS or warehouse 13 just the story. don't for get to review once you've read the story

Claudia and Kennedy had arrived at the target practice and Claudia was explaining how the machine worked to Kennedy and decided to let Kennedy go first so she could see what she would have to aim at.

Kennedy took a fighting stance with the Tesler in her hand and readied herself to hit the targets and once it started she hit them all dead center and never missed a single one and reached level 15 with little fuss. Then watched as Claudia took her turn and managed to reach level 10 quiet easily then struggled through 11 and finally lost on level 12 equaling Pete's score.

"So how was that for a first try?" asked Claudia.

"Not bad Claudia I must say that I did see potential in your style, do you ever have to use hand to hand combat?"

"No not really you saw my hand to hand style earlier, unless it's to dangerous to use the Tesla's we just use them"

"What about lifting stuff?"

"Sometimes the boxes are quiet heavy but I must admit just recently I have found it easier to move the heavy box's than I used to find them, why do you ask?"

"Well super strength is something the person I'm looking for would have"

"Cool does that mean it's me?"

"Maybe but if you are that would complicate things?"

"What do you mean, we can spend all our time together" said Claudia happily

"But you would have to make a choice as to weather you want to leave the warehouse or stay here. Same as I have to make a choice as well"

"Kennedy I think I'm falling in love with you" said Claudia then her face went as red as her hair.

"Claudia I feel the same as you do but we need to be careful"

"Why can't we just admit it and tell Artie?"

"Claudia what do you think he'd do to us if we told him we were in love?"

"Probably think an artifact had something to do with it"

"Then what?"

"I see were you're going it would get to personal"

"So we don't want to tell him unless were both completely sure he'll believe us?"

"Right, I agree"

"Claudia what would he do if you are the slayer I've been sent to find?"

"Tell me I couldn't go because I know too much info about the warehouse"

"What if I offered to stay and train you hear it would help when you go out on assignment and have to deal with a tricky customer?"

"It would be helpful but I don't get to go on many missions that usually Pete and Myka's deal, even though I'm a full agent I don't have a partner to go out hunting artifacts with?"

"Well theirs me I could be your partner in more than one way?" suggested Kennedy with a smirk on her face.

"I'd love that but do you think Artie would let you go out on missions with me or would try and keep you safe by making you stay in the warehouse?"

"Well his reaction to finding out I was in Sunnydale was bad enough so who knows but either way I have to go back to Philly to sort thing out"

"Maybe Artie would let me go with you?"

"You never know, we can ask him. Come on lets go"

An hour later Kennedy and Claudia had spoken to Artie about Claudia accompanying Kennedy back to Philly to try the final test of weather Claudia was the Slayer in South Dakota or not.

"Ok but please be careful and hear take this with you" said Artie as he handed Claudia a brown envelope and said "See if you can retrieve this artifact down while you're there"

"Cool a solo mission," said Claudia.

"No not a solo mission I would like Kennedy to go with you. Seeing how she's showing you what she does you can show her what we do retrieve the artifact do not destroy it this one is to dangerous to destroy it could flatten Philly"

"What artifact is that dangerous and hasn't been touched by us or the enemy before?"

"In Philly there can only be one thing" said Kennedy "The Liberty Bell"

"Correct I'm having a replica made in Philly and I want you to switch them and get the Liberty Bell transported here safely"

"Fine Artie it'll be fun?" said Claudia.

"One last thing we don't have an influence on the Philly police so they won't know what you're doing so you need to be careful to them you will appear to be stealing it"

"Artie it always looks like we're stealing?" said Claudia.

"Why won't they help?" asked Kennedy.

"Philly doesn't recognize us as a government agency so we need to step carefully"

"Or create a riot?" said Kennedy getting an idea.

"What was that Kennedy?" asked Artie.

"I said or we create a riot in another part of town as a distraction"

"Have you ever considered working for the Warehouse Kennedy?"

"Funnily enough me and Claudia were talking about this earlier, and I said then if you offered I'd have to think about it while I'm back in Philly and talk to Vi about taking over for me as trainer to the other Slayers"

"Is that a yes or no Kennedy?"

"It's an, I'll think about it. If I did say yes who would I be working with?"

"Primarily Claudia or me depending on what the artifact in question is rarely will it be Pete or Myka. Just so you know you will not always be on assignment a lot of time is spent on the Warehouse floor doing audits on the artifacts making sure there were they should be"

"Sounds like a change from what I'm doing"

"Ok you two of you go then" said Artie as he handed Kennedy a Tesla.

The two girls headed off out of the Warehouse and got in Kennedy's SUV and drove off towards the interstate and then on towards Philly.
