"Is there a reason why you're bothering me at my school, Mr. Windy Price Tag?" Buffy eyed the pompous Englishman as he approached her at the High School the next day.

"Wyndham-Price, not Windy Price Tag." He said disapprovingly. "I came to inform you that I verified your outlandish claims. I was on the phone for several hours last night with my father. He believes this audit of yours will go no where and your friends don't have the political or financial capital to make it stick. He wishes me to remain at my post until further notice."

"You're wrong, the Wesen Council does have both the political and financial capital to make the audit and reorganization stick. The Queen has to do it or risk one of the other Royal Houses that recognize the legal standing of the Wesen Council moving to take the Watchers Council and consequently, the Slayer, for themselves. It's why they recognize the Wesen Council's legal standing, because the Royal Houses have attempted control over the Wesen as well in the past."

"I must confess, I'd never heard of Wesen before. My father explained that they're some sort of freak of nature -."

"They're not, they're naturally occuring and predate the Slayer going back into prehistory. They're dual natured, like a werewolf. There was a time when the world knew they existed, a couple thousand years ago now."

"I find that hard to believe, there would have been some record of them."

"There is, just look at an Anubis statue or Bastet or Ganesh in India. They all represent Wesen."

"Those are the names of gods, Miss Summers."

"I know. Now unless you have a legitimate reason to be in my school, like an actual job, please leave before I report you to the Principal for trespassing and harassing me."

"I am not harassing you and I am attempting to do my job, you are making it most difficult."

"I refuse to recognize you as a Watcher, let alone my Watcher. If I was going to recognize a Watcher it would be Professor Dormer, Faith's Watcher or former, since she quit the Council and became Faith's Guardian in order to protect her from you people."

"Faith? Ah, the Potential Slayer these Wesen claim as one of their own."

"Actually it's the Grimms that claim her as one of their own."

"And what are the Grimms?"

"Enhanced humans, genetically enhanced, not mystically like a Slayer. Also been around for thousands of years and all related to each other, one way or another. They have some advantages that a Slayer doesn't and hunt vampires too."

"Something else I've never heard of. Slayers fight vampires, that is the will of the gods!"

"There's only one Slayer verses hundreds of thousands of vampires and several hundred Grimms. Sounds more like Grimms are the will of the gods and Slayers are the will of the Watchers Council. And you're still trespassing and harassing me."

"There is something else I need to discuss with you, Miss Summers. You stated that you died as a result of the Cruciementum."

"Yeah, I flatlined in the hospital after that vampire Giles set me up with fed on me."

"You might wish to have the witch that saved your life examine you. I am uncertain how you are actually alive."

"Why? I'm breathing, my heart is beating, I'm standing in the sun and I'm bored by this conversation. Obviously I'm alive."

"I'm not disputing the fact that you're alive, I'm wondering how you're alive. At the moment of a Slayer's death, another is activated and it has been this way from the very beginning. I had my father check and he confirmed it, another Slayer has activated. Her name is Kendra Young, she was almost too old to be Called, a few more months and she will be eighteen. She is a properly trained Slayer who was raised by her Watcher."

"Where is she?"

"In Jamaica, with her Watcher, Sam Zabuto."

"Thank you for telling me, I'll be sure to pass it on to the Wesen Council representatives."

"Miss Summers! That is Watchers Council business!"

"Not anymore it isn't. Anything else you feel the need to discuss with me Mr. Windy Price Tag?"

"There can't be two Slayers, the universe will find a way to compensate. As I suggested, you might want to have your witch friend examine you. Interfering in mystical forces, especially one of such long standing as the Slayer line could have any number of potential side effects, up to and including corrupting you from within."

And with that final parting shot, the pompous Watcher stalked off leaving a stunned Buffy behind.
