"Guys, I think we have a problem here." Xander said as he made his way into the library closely followed by an exotic looking brunette.

"Xander? Is everything ok?" Giles asked getting up from his chair and moving over to Xander.

"Yeah it's fine. I lost Spike though, he disappeared somewhere in St. Mary's. I did find this consolation prize though," Grinning Xander walked over to a chair and say down. "Kendra here says she's a slayer."

"Who's a slayer? Huh?" Came a confused shout from Buffy as she entered the library.

"Well I must say this is a bit confusing. You're a slayer? Kendra was it?" Giles stammered out trying to get his bearings.

"Yes sir. I was sent here by my watcher, Mr. Zanbuto. He said a dark force was in Sunnydale and I was to stop it." Kendra was obviously a bit nervous in the situation clasping her hands behind her back and avoiding eye contact with Giles.

"Well Sam Zanbuto is well known in the watcher circles. He's one of the best, and he's been training you?"

"Yes sir." Kendra stood firm still avoiding eye contact with the Watcher keeping her eyes on the girl that was now sat with the green man, as she had dubbed him in her mind.

"Well... I don't know how this is possible. There is only ever one slayer, once she dies then the..." Giles let's his voice trail off realising what the implications were.

"Hey you died Buff." Xander said looking over at her.

"Yeah but only for a minute, I got better." Buffy said now looking down at the table.

"You died?" Kendra walked over to the table where they were sitting. "Mr. Zanbuto said that only once a slayer dies does the power pass onto to the next chosen one."

"I revived her," Xander said standing up. "Giles come on. There has to be some explanation here."

"Well yes... Buffy did indeed die, even for just a short time in The Master's cave. It must have been enough to activate the next potential," Taking off his glasses and cleaning them Giles continued. "Though there is no precedent for what has happened here, I must admit I'm quite amazed at how this must have happened."

"Well here's a solution." Buffy started standing up and moving over next to Giles. "I'm the slayer here. Giles is my watcher so you can just pack your bags and go back to wherever it is that you came from. We don't need two slayers here." Buffy was moving in front of Giles almost protectively.

"Buffy chill. Think about it, we've got two slayers now. Between you this town could be vamp free in under a week." Xander looked at Buffy trying to get her to see the good points in this.

"But I'm the slayer. It's my destiny and now I find out someone else has it. How am I supposed to feel Xander?"

"I get that Buffy. But this now Kendra's here you can actually take some time off. Share the load with someone else. You don't have to be the chosen one anymore." Xander now smiling seeing that Buffy has thought about it.

"Well I don't know about taking some time off but I do know that with Kendra here you're responsibilities have lessened somewhat." Giles smiled at Buffy. Being a slayer had been hard on her, all he wanted to do was help her with her destiny. Now with someone else to share the burden she might have a chance to enjoy life for a bit.


Across town at Spike's warehouse.

"Well look here, we've got the book, the decoder thing and you're sire pet, all we need now is for the order to keep the slayer out of our hair until the ritual is complete and we'll be running this town inside a week." Spike grinned stroking Dru's hair looking over at Angel who was tied up with chains round his wrists pulling him taught to the ceiling.

"I was dreaming." Dru lifts her head up looking at Spike, "Angel was there and the green light ended the slayer."

"The green light? What that bloody hero that nearly killed us a few weeks back? He's going to end the slayer? Bloody good luck to him." Spike grinned walking over to Angel. "You hear that? That soddin green poofter is going to kill your little muffy." Laughing Spike watches Angel try and break free from the chains.

"I'll kill you Spike. If anything happens to Buffy." Glaring at Spike Angel stops trying to escape the chains feeling how strong they are and looking around at the vampires surrounding him he knows escape would be impossible.

"Ohh I'm wetting myself. Come on Angel. You used to be better at threats than that. Where's the old Angelus spirit?" taunting Angel he pulls over a chain and lights a smoke throwing the match on Angel's bare chest.

"I mean it Spike." Angel growls down at the younger vampire.

"Yeah well." Spike trails off taking a drag off his cigarette. "Dru thinks that your precious slayer won't be around much now anyway. Says the green guys going to end her and all that. Kind of fitting don't you think?" standing up Spike walks over to Drusilla and kisser her softly on her cheek before walking out of the warehouse into the night.


Sunnydale high school, the next day.

"Well I've spoken to your watcher Kendra. Mr. Zanbuto and he agrees with me that you should stay in Sunnydale and assist Buffy until the threat has passed." Walking out of the office Giles smiles at the group.

"Yes sir, thank you." Kendra looks up at Giles and then over to the group.

"Yes, well, I think that's the dark power that your Watcher referred to. You see, uh, you see Drusilla's not only evil, she's also quite mad. If she's restored to her full health..." Giles let the explanation slip off as her looked around the group.

"I get it Giles, and we still haven't heard anything from Angel." Buffy said beginning to get worried.

"I told you Buffy. You should have let me dust Spike when I had the shot. He's not going to let Angel go just because he made a deal." Xander said now standing up and pacing the room.

"Indeed I agree with Xander. It was foolish to give Spike the cross. Now he has that and the book we have no way of knowing what he's planning on doing."

"Well we'll just have to find Spike and kill him when we do. We could hit willies, find out if he knows anything about where Spike's hiding out or what he's planning," Buffy stands up and grabs her coat. "Are you coming Xand?"

"You take Kendra Buffy, I'm going to do a fly by and see if I can find Spike that way."

"Cool. Come on. We can take turns at beating up Willie until he talks. It's quite therapeutic." Grinning Buffy leads Kendra out of the library.

"Yes... well Willow could you stay here and help me research Dulac's work's? If we find something to hint as to what he's planning then perhaps we can find a way of stopping it." Giles said looking over at the Willow.

"Sure Giles." She smiled up.

"Ok then. You two get on with that and I'll be back shortly. Hopefully with Spike's dust." Grinning Xander flashed into his 'work clothes' and walked out the back door before taking off in a flash of green light.

Flying over Sunnydale was quite amusing Xander thought to himself as he did a quick pass over the cemeteries. He could stay up here for hour's and not have to worry about anything. Looking down he could see the lines of houses stretched out and people going about the usual business.

"I'll take a quick swing round Buffy's check to see if Joyce is ok" he muttered to himself as he sped through the night towards his target.

Landing quickly he could see no one was about he quickly changed into his normal clothes and walked up to the house knocking on the door. No answer.

'Hmm wonder if she's out doing some shopping or something' he thought as he started walking down the drive. Casting his eyes around to see if anyone was about he was about to change into his 'work clothes' again when he noticed someone in the house opposite.

Normally people gave off a light blue energy when he looked at them but this guy. He was glowing red. A dark red. Looking closely Xander could see the individual life patterns in the 'man'. He obviously wasn't human but what was he doing watching Buffy's house.

Deciding to investigate further Xander was about to cross the street when he heard a rush. Is sounded like wind but much faster. Looking around he couldn't see anything.

"Weird." He commented to himself as he started across the street again only to find himself being picked up into the air at incredible speed. He could feel the hand's holding him tight round the waist as they flew into the night sky. Until they stopped in mid flight.

Flashing into his uniform he found himself quickly dropped and fell for a few seconds before regaining his control and levelling out to see who is would be captor was.

"Wow, didn't see that one coming," He said to himself looking up at the figure hovering there in a Supergirl uniform. Smiling He brought himself up to the same level as her, before grinning and creating a chair to sit on. "Well I guess me and you have something to talk about?" he smiles creating another chair for the 'Supergirl'.

Smiling she brought herself over and sat down. "Guess so."


The alibi room.

"Willie, you're in luck today. Two slayers," Grinning Buffy smacked Willie before asking him again. "Angel. Where is Angel and where is Spike hiding out?"

"I don't know honest. I told you all I know. Spikes somewhere on the edge of town. I don't know where Angel is honest." Whimpering he waited for the next hit but was surprised when he was let go. Slumping down on the bar he looked up at the two girls.

"You'd better not be lying to us. If I find out you are I'll come back and it'll be worse than a few smacks." Buffy threatened before walking out with the other girl.

"Now we return to your watcher for orders." Kendra said starting to walk down the street.

"I don't take orders from anyone. Look we know Spike's hold up on the edge of town we can find out where he is and rescue Angel." Buffy stopped looking at her sister slayer.

"What do you want with a vampire anyway? He should be dead. You're a slayer, he's a vampire. Do your duty." Kendra snapped at Buffy.

"Look it's more complicated than that. He's got a soul. He's one of the good guys." Buffy tried to explain.

"Having a soul doesn't make you a good guy Buffy, doing the right thing makes you a good guy."

"He's done the right thing. He saved my life on more than one occasion. He's on the right side."

"If you say so, I still don't t'ink it's right. Trusting a vampire." Kendra started marching off back towards the school.

"It's my choice. Come on we might as well check in with Giles. He might have found something about what Spike is up to." With that Buffy followed faith back to the school.


The next day at school.

"This career thing is a bust. I can't believe I have to go for law enforcement." Buffy walked through the corridors with Willow.

"Yeah but look now that Kendra is here maybe you could have a normal life. Have a job and a family." Willow tried to reassure her friend.

"Willow Rosenberg?" a voice came from behind the two girls.

"Uh, yeah hi." Looking over Willow saw two men in suits looking at her and Buffy.

"Would you please come with us." With that the two men started walking away towards a classroom that had a black curtain draped across the doorway.

"Ok Will's I'll catch up with you later. Found my group anyway." Walking over to a group Buffy looked at the stern looking police woman.

"Alright, listen up, and answer when I call your name. Buffy Summers?"

"Here" Buffy put her hand up.

The police woman looked over at her and drew her gun firing two shots off at Buffy.

Buffy didn't even have time to react. The gun was just there pointing at her head, and then she heard the report of the shots.

For anyone else looking everything just stopped. There was a purple and black blur through the room followed by a blast of wind and when Buffy looked up the gun was crumpled on the ground with the police woman on the floor unconscious.

"Huh? What?" Buffy stammered out looking at the unconscious body. A steel bar had been bent around the body like a chain restraining her.

Before long the area was a hub of excitement. Everyone was wondering what had happened and several students already had their mobile phones out.

Playing with the ring on her finger, before moving away from all the excitement she replayed the scene in her head. "Xander." She just muttered to herself. He's the only one that could have done that. But where was the green glow?

Walking off towards the library she didn't notice a woman watching her from the stairs.

"That was close." She said opening her hand and dropping two flattened bullets on the floor before walking off.


The Library.

"And then the bullets just... they just disappeared Giles. I'm telling you Xander must have done his thing." Buffy explained as she sat down. Shaken from her near brush with death.

"Be that as It may Buffy. I feel that we have to take into account that now the order is attacking you in school. Maybe at your home as well, is your mother safe?" Giles asked sitting down next to Buffy.

"She's away for the week. Up in LA getting some stuff for the gallery. Xander!" she exclaimed as she saw him walk into the library. Rushing over she hugged him squeezing tight. "Xander oh thank you, thank you, thank you. I don't know how you did it or what you did but thank you."

"Uh Giles? Explanation here please. Not that I'm not enjoying the closeness or anything but what's going on?"

"Buffy was attacked in the school. One of the Order with a gun came after her, but if you didn't stop it..." Giles explained looking puzzled.

"Buff," pulling her arms from around his waist. Xander looked into her eyes. "Buffy it wasn't me. I think I have a good idea as to who it was but it wasn't me ok?"

Letting go Buffy looked up into his eyes. "It wasn't you? Then who? Huh?"

"I found someone else Giles. Someone who kept their power's from Halloween like I did. Quite a list of power's as well... flight, super strength, x-ray vision, laser vision, super speed... everything a normal kryptonion has on this planet." Grinning he looked at Giles.

"A kryptonion? You mean to tell me there's a student running round the school with all the power's of Superman?" sitting down Giles took off his glasses and started rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Not Superman Giles. Supergirl, it's a woman. I met her last night outside you're place Buffy. There was this guy watching your house. Good thing I saw him as well." Smiling Xander sat down and began to recount the events of last night.

"I was going round to check on your mom. I knocked on the door but there wasn't any answer so I figured she must be out. I was just about to leave when I saw this guy in the house opposite."

"Do go on Xander." Giles said listening intently.

"Well I was heading over when I suddenly found myself airborne. Apparently 'Supergirl' had been patrolling the streets that night and had found this guy. We talked for a bit realizing what had happened to her I told her about Halloween and she said she'd been patrolling every night since then. Oh you'll get a kick out of this Buffy, remember the flying vampire you encountered just after Halloween? The one that fell in front of you and dusted on the sidewalk?"

"Uhuh." Buffy responded trying to figure out who this 'Supergirl' might be.

"That was her. She was being attacked by a vampire when the spell ended and she threw the vampire into the air. That's when she realised that she still had her powers."

"Fascinating," Giles said cleaning his glasses. "She has all the powers?"

"Oh I haven't got to the good part get Giles. As I said we were near your place when we spotted this guy. I tried looking at him for an energy reading. But instead of blue his was dark red. I explained this to 'Supergirl' realising that she might be able to see something I couldn't. Using her 'x-ray' vision she looked at the guy, not a guy at all Giles. He was made up of bugs. Hundreds of them."

"What did you do with this man? Is he still there watching Buffy's house?" standing up from his chair Giles started pacing the library.

"Nah, he's toast. Me and 'Supergirl' took care of it. Snuck into the house behind him and a quick blast of energy from me and a blast of heat vision from her... poof. He's a blackened smear on the wall." Xander finished off with a smug smile on his face.

"Coolness. So we have a real 'Supergirl' now to help us? What's her name? Who is she?" Buffy smiled at Xander trying to get all the information out of him she could.

"I can't tell you Buffy. She asked me to keep it a secret. Said she wasn't ready to let everyone know she's a freak."

"But she's not a freak Xander. Me, Kendra, you we've all got super power's."

"I know Buffy and I told her, she just wants a little time to adjust. She'll come around."

"Well it's certainly nice to know that we do have someone out there helping us." Giles said smiling.

"Yeah, did you find out anything else about what Spike is up to Giles?"

"I fear the worst is still to come. I've discovered the remaining keys to Drusilla's cure. The ritual requires that, the presence of her sire, and it must take place in a church on the night of the new moon." Giles looked at Buffy.

"That's tonight Giles, and Spike's already got Dru's sire. It was Angel." Buffy stool up looking panicked.

"I know. The ritual has to be performed in a specific church. We have a few hours before night fall so I suggest that Xander fly's over Sunnydale and attempts to find this church while we get ready for the battle. Kendra are you proficient using an axe or sword?"

"Yes sir. I was trained in using an axe from a young age."

"Good. If you take the axe, I'll take a crossbow and Buffy... Buffy?" looking round Buffy was nowhere to be seen.

"Xander search for this church. We'll find Buffy. Find us when you've found the church and we'll meet you there ok?"

"Got it Giles." Flashing into his 'work clothes' or 'uniform' as Supergirl had called it he left the library and took to the sky.


Spike's warehouse.

"Say Uncle," Drusilla says as she pours some holy water on Angel's chest. "Oh, that's right, you killed my uncle."

She is about to pour some onto his chest again when Spike storms in the room.

"That bloody green thing. I thought you said he was on our side. He's out there now flying about looking for us."

Drusilla stands up looking at him. "He makes pretty colours."

"Pft! I'll see him die soon enough. I've never been much for green, more a red and black man myself," Spike grins marching over to Angel. "Come on baby it's time now. Enough with the teasing we've got to plan for the ritual."

"That's what Drusilla likes best, as I recall." Angel looks down at Spike trying to smile through the pain as the holy water drips down his legs burning them.

"What the bloody hell is that supposed to mean?" Spike growls at Angel slapping him round the face.

Spitting out some blood Angel turns back to Spike. "Ask her. She knows what I mean."

"Shh! Bad puppy." Drusilla says as she grins at Angel.

"Whatever, we've got to plan for the ritual come on." Grabbing Angel's chains he leads them outside and to the abandoned church a few blocks from the warehouse.


Sunnydale High school Library.

Landing Xander quickly runs into the library through the back door, "Giles Buffy I've found them. They're at an abandoned church on ninth and third. It's about half an hour's drive from here."

"We'll never be in time. Xander you take Buffy and Kendra. Me and Willow will go on the car and meet you there." Giles says grabbing his coat and weapons.

"Ok. Girls you ready for a ride?" grinning he looks over at the nervous slayer's

"Are you sure you can manage both of us Xander?" Buffy asks a bit nervously. She's always been afraid of flying ever since she'd watched a horror movie about a plane crash when she was younger.

"Sure Buffy. I'll tell you what. Follow me." Xander smiled thinking about what he could make to get them there.

Outside he looked around the empty car lot before grinning to the two girls and creating a bubble around them. Taking off slowly as to not alarm the slayer's he quickly created a bench for them to sit on inside the Buffy.

"Xander? Is this what it feels like for you? All the time?" Buffy asked sitting down.

"Nah Buffy. Normally I just do it alone. I don't need a bubble or chairs. This is just to make you two comfortable." Smiling he took a seat and concentrated on the church as they flew though the night.

"There I see it." Kendra stood up in the bubble pointing to the church.

"That's it. Should I set down outside or on the roof?" Xander asked.

"Oh I've got a better idea Xander, who not set us inside?" Buffy grinned looking positively evil.

"I like that. Hold on." Xander quickly made the Buffy opaque before crashing in through the ceiling on the church and landing. He kept the bubble there for a minute longer while the debris from the roof fell and the dust settled. Soon he heard a scream of "What the bloody hell?"

"What the Bloody hell?" Spike was fuming. The ceiling had just caved in and now there was a bloody great green sphere in the middle of the room.

Xander Grinned. Making the bubble see through again, "Think we pissed him off Buffy?" he asked looking round to make sure Buffy and Kendra were ok.

"Quick get rid of the bubble we've got to save Angel." Buffy said picking up her stake and handing Kendra the axe.

Dissolving the bubble Xander stepped through the cloud of dust and looked at Spike. "Told you I'd have your dust Spike."

"You? Oh bloody hell. And you brought a slayer. Who's the other bint though?" Spike looked on. He'd heard storied about this green bloke and seen what he could do personally. Stepping behind Angel he picked up a stake.

"You hurt one hair on him and I'll make you suffer for months before I dust you Spike." Buffy threatened as she advanced on Spike menacingly.

"You come any closer and I'll turn lover boy into pencil shavings." Spike threatened now looking for a way him and Drusilla could get out. He could see the other girl making her way round the pulpits with an axe and that soddin green bloke was just stood there looking at him.

"That's another slayer Spike," looking at spikes face Xander let loose a chuckle. "Yep two slayers and the green death," Xander fingered air quotes as he said it. "Don't think you'll be getting out of this one do you?"

Seeing Kendra approach from the left and Buffy moving slowly down the middle Xander quickly sent a burst of energy that Drusilla quickly ducked and fled out a door.

"Let her go. I want Spike." Buffy said glaring at the vampire. Before she could say another word Spike leaped out from behind Angel and grabbed Kendra.

"Let me go and I promise I won't hurt her." He snarled twisting Kendra's arm so she dropped the axe.

"Why should we believe you Spike? I could just dust you from here." Xander menaced walking towards the vampire.

"You could but it would kill you're slayer here too wouldn't it?" Spike grinned trying to think up a way of this.

"I'm warning you Spike." Buffy said as she approached holding her stake in front of her, waiting for any sign of action from the vampire.

Bending down still holding Kendra by the throat Spike picked up the axe, "Come any closer and you'll find lover boy here will fit in an ash tray not to mention the slayer here will be drained dry before you can even blink."

Xander took his opportunity and shot a blast of pure energy at the chains holding Angel up. Tearing through the chains like paper Angel slumped to the floor unconscious.

"Bloody hell." Spike growled.

"Move one more inch and I'll do the same to you." Xander said moving slowly towards Spike.

Evaluating his options Spike decided to take the risk. Throwing Kendra into Buffy he dove behind a stone pillar narrowly avoiding another energy blast. Searing under his breath he crouched down and tried to think up another way out of here.

Kendra picked herself up and looked over at Buffy. "Xander, Buffy's hurt. Must have hit her head when we went down."

"Spike, you've hurt her and I swear..." firing another energy blast in spikes direction he head a muffled exclamation coming from the vampire.

"I'll go around. You take t'at side." Kendra said picking up Buffy's stake and moving off round the church.

As Xander backed away to make his way round Spike crawled through the church keeping to the shadows under the benches he made his way over to Kendra. Quickly standing up behind her he reached over and pulled her head down into the stone of the wall.

"Bloody slayers." He muttered slipping off his jacket and putting it on Kendra before standing her up and propping her against the wall in the darkness before slipping out the same door in silence.

Approaching the pillar Xander jumped round in and let loose an energy blast where he thought Spike was blasting a hole in the floor he looked around for anyway Spike must have gone before hearing a groan coming from Buffy's direction.

"Buffy!" he shouted running over to her, Spike forgotten for the minute.

"Where is he? Did you get him?" Buffy asked sitting up rubbing her head.

"Not yet. He's in here somewhere you found him Kendra?" Xander shouted into the darkness of the church.

"There!" Buffy shouted pointing over to the darkness where she could see Spike's coat flapping in the wind.

Without a second though Xander let loose the strongest energy blast he could knocking Spike through the wall behind him and out onto the road.

"Got him Buffy, not even Spike could have survived that." He said as he helped her up.

"Angel!" she shouted running over and helping her boyfriend up.

"You grab Angel. I'll go and make sure it dusted Spike. If not I'll finish the job." Xander said as he made his way over to the hole in the wall.

"Are you ok Angel?" Buffy asked sliding Angel's arm round her shoulder's to help him stand.

"I'm good. Spike?" he asked.

"Dusted, See for yourself," Buffy smiled smugly looking over to the hole where Xander was knelt down over Spike's body. "Xander?" she called out before funning over.

Xander looked down. It wasn't Spike he had hit. It was Kendra. The bastard had dressed her in his coat and fled.

"Buffy! Help!" Xander cried out letting the tears roll down his cheek.

Running over Buffy stopped mid stride when she saw what had happened. Kendra was in a crumpled mess on the floor. Xander's energy blast had hit her right in the chest and had torn right through her.

The entire left side of Kendra's chest was missing. The wound cauterised and still smoking as Xander knelt there holding the fallen slayer in his arms crying.

Buffy just collapsed on the floor, tears running down her cheeks, "Xander help her! Do something!"

"Do what?" he shouted back at her.

The two teens just looked at each other for a while.

"I killed her Buffy. I KILLED HER!" Xander shouted.

"You didn't mean to. I told you it was Spike. I told you... oh god." Buffy looked again at the body noticing the blood that was now flowing from the missing side of her body.

"I... killed... her." Xander mumbled out in between gasps.

"Xander come on. We've got to get back to Giles. Tell him what happened." Buffy said standing up and wiping the tears from her eyes.

"I'm going to kill him. YOU HEAR THAT SPIKE, YOURE DUST!" Xander shouted into the night, "Dust."

Moving over Buffy helped Xander stand up and looked down at her fallen sister. "We can't leave her like this Xander. You've got to get rid of her."

"When I find him. I'm going to make him pay for this," Xander said as his eyes flashed with anger. Looking down at the body he knelt down and laid his hand on what was left of her chest. "I'm sorry." He whispered at Kendra's body.

The body glowed bright green for a second then was gone.

"Buffy, I'm..." Angel said moving round to her but stopped when he saw Xander's eyes burning bright green.

"This is your fault," Xander shouted walking towards Angel. "YOUR FAULT." He screamed as his entire body lit up in green flames.

"Xander I..." Angel started backing away the sight of Xander with pure anger in his eyes covered in green flames terrifying him.

"Xander don't." Buffy said placing her hand on Xander's shoulder immediately quenching the flames.

"It's his fault all of this." Xander said turning to Buffy, his eyes still growing bright green with anger.

"Let him go. We need him. I need him." Buffy said looking into Xander eyes as they turned back to their normal hazel colour.

"How am I going to tell Giles? I'm a killer Buffy." he said lowering his head.

"You're not a killer Xander. You made a mistake. It was as much my fault as yours."

"I'm a killer." He said softly as he turned to walk away.

"Angel, go home. I'll call you later." Buffy said before running over to catch up with Xander.


The next day at lunch, Sunnydale High school library.

"It wasn't his fault Giles. We both thought it was Spike." Buffy tried to explain.

"Where is he now? Has anyone seen him all day? Willow?" Giles asked worry evident on his face.

"I'm sorry Giles. He wasn't in any of his classes this morning." Willow replied sitting down on a chair.

"We've got to find him. Tell him that we understand. That he isn't a killer." Giles said grabbing his jacket.

"How Giles? If he doesn't want to be found then we won't be able to. He could just be flying around and we'd never be able to get to him." Buffy said looking defeated.

"We've got to try." Giles snapped back before running out of the library followed by Willow and then Buffy.

Above Sunnydale, about 2 miles up.

"Want to talk about it?" came a voice from behind Xander shocking him out of his tears.

"Not really. Came up here to be alone." Xander replied looking over to see 'Supergirl' floating next to him. This time she wasn't wearing her uniform.

"I heard about what happened." She said floating over to him and embracing him in a hug.

"I'm a killer." He said simply.

"You're not a killer. None of your friends think that. They're down there now searching for you. They're worried Xander. We all are."

"I killed someone, Ruined Buffy's chances of having a normal life. How can she ever forgive me?" he asked looking up into her eyes.

"She doesn't see it that way. You both thought it was Spike correct?"

"Suppose." The muffled sound came from the teen.

"Well then. It wasn't your fault. Now come back to the library and we'll talk to them. Together." She said lifting his face up to look into his eyes.

"But I thought you..." he let the question hang unfinished in the air.

"If they can accept you and a slayer I'm sure they can accept me," She said floating away from him and holding her hand out. "Come on."

Smiling for the first time in what seemed like years Xander looked up at her, "You know I think I preferred you in the Supergirl outfit." He grinned.

"Don't push it." came the reply through a smile as they both flew down to the roof of Sunnydale high.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Xander asked looking over.

"I'm sure but one thing first."

Suddenly there was a blur followed by a gust of wind.

"Now that's more like it. Made a few alterations?" Xander grinned looking up at the 'Supergirl'.

"Just a few. I was never comfortable showing my stomach so I changed it for a full leotard and just put the skirt on, lost the cape though," Smiling at Xander she twirled around. "You like?"

"Yeah looks good but how do you plan on us finding the gang looking like this?" Xander said looking down at his own 'uniform'.

"Simple they're already in the library looking at us," She said looking down through the library skylight grinning at the shocked faces as she opened the latch. "Shall we?" she said floating into the air again and holding out her hand.

Grinning Xander floated up and took her hand before descending into the library.

"Xander, we were so worried. We looked everywhere." Willow babbled as she ran over and hugged her best friend.

"Xander. I'm glad you came back. It wasn't your fault you know?" Giles said looking over at the two. "Well I didn't expect this 'Supergirl' to be you."

"I needed to get some air. She found me up there and reminded me that there were people down here that care about me," Xander said looking over at Buffy, "I'm sorry." He said looking into her tear filled eyes.

"Oh Xander." Buffy said before running to him and hugging him tightly.

"Now the latest member of the Scooby gang, Supergirl." Xander announced grinning.

"Hi. I think you all can just call me Jenny or Ms. Calendar," She said walking over to Giles. "Your right. We do have a lot to talk about." Looking into Giles eyes she kissed him softly.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew through the library and Giles looked over to see Jenny sat on the table in her usual clothes. Smiling to himself he walked over and sat beside her.

Grinning at the show Xander hugged the two girls tighter. Things would get better he hoped.


AN: yeah I know I killed off Kendra a few episodes early. Bought 'Supergirl' into the open though.

You all probably guessed who she was a few chapters ago but I wanted to keep the suspense going as long as I could.

Well next up Surprise: part one. Going to be a weird one to write. Never written Angelus before so be a first.

Hope everyone enjoyed this
