Walking in Cina puts Buffy on the couch as Beth leads Mrs. S and Dawn into the room Miranda sighs patching up Buffy.
"Call her watcher Gwyn, I want him here now" she says not looking up.
Once she's done she sits down letting Buffy's mom and sister check on her "She failed the test" Miranda says calmly.
"What happens now?"
"Simple Joyce she can either give up being a slayer which will be impossible because she will know what is happening and want to help, or she can take a little trip and be trained" Miranda says leaning back.
"She will give up the power" Mrs. S says quickly.
"It's not up to you Joyce, it's up to her she has to choose her path" Cina says lighting a cigarette.
"What is training like? Where will she go?" Dawn asks looking for answers.
"Training will happen traveling while doing school online, it's rough, she will most likely get her ass kicked many times" I mumble shaking my head.
Gman rushes in looking at Buffy going pale "Good God, is she okay?" he asks rushing over.
Miranda grabs him pinning him to the wall before he can reach her "You need to learn how history happened not repeat bullshit lies you're told as fact, you will be taking a trip to learn the truth and your slayer most likely will be traveling learning more about the supernatural world" she snarls at him.
Buffy groans waking up as Miranda moves in front of her "You lost" she says simply "Had this been a real threat you would have been killed along with Faith, your friends, and family so make your choice. Be a normal human knowing that there is evil walking around hurting people, or be trained properly and earn the right to be a slayer" she says grabbing her face.
"I have to guard the hell mouth" she grunts.
"No, see you are no longer the slayer Faith is, she will guard it you need to learn how to be a true slayer like her" Miranda says chuckling.
Buffy looks at her mom and sister unsure "It's okay Buffy do what feels right" she says softly.
She nods looking at Miranda "Fine training so I can protect my family properly" she says.
Miranda nods grabbing two bags throwing them to Gman and Buffy "That's all you are allowed to take let's go now" she orders.
I watch Buffy quickly say bye to her mom and sister, she looks at me almost like it hurts "protect them and look after them please".
"I will" I whisper nudging her to go.
I sigh sitting down as they leave seeing Vickie rush out with them waving bye to us.
"What happens now?" Willow asks looking confused.
"Now I take over guarding the hell mouth, we keep Mrs. S and Dawn safe for Buffy and wait for her to return" I mumble.
"How much will she have changed?" Willow asks.
"She will come back more mature and responsible, Miranda won't let her die but she will make her stronger" I say closing my eyes.
