Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me. The Scooby Gang and 
friends belong to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. All characters from the DCU 
do not belong to me I?m just taking out for a ride through my twisted 
imagination, Adrienne Mackenzie Kent-Prince is mine.

Rating: For now PG-13 to R depending on your point of view.

Summary: In the DCU eighteen years ago during a battle with Darksied, a 
strange and mysterious anomaly occured , unleashed by an experiment by 
Julian September at a critical time and out of this anomaly was born a child 
to two of the most powerful heroes of the JLA, now attending UC Sunnydale, 
she will become the Slayers greatest ally.

Author?s Note: This is really more of a Faith/Other romance with 
Buffy/Willow pairing as well. Faith redeemed herself and is still part of 
the Scoobies in my story. Also I?ve messed with the timeline on a lot of 
stuff. Joyce Summers lives!!!

Distribution: I like sharing, just give me a heads up.

Feedback? Yes please!!

Previously

The two Slayers stood in awe as they saw the figure leap into the air, sure 
there were super heroes in the world saving people form disasters and 
aliens, but they fought against the forces of hell and right now what they 
saw they still couldn?t believe.

?Hey Buffy,? Willow called out followed by the others, ?what happened??

?Whoever that was just flew away,? Buffy said.

?Flew?? Xander asked.

?Yeah, you know up, up, and away, flew,? Faith said still looking to the 
skies.

?Bloody hell!? Spike cursed, ?Now what??

?We can?t do anything,? Giles said, ?at least not until we know who we?re 
dealing with, but for now we have more important things to worry about, such 
as the new prophecy.?

?You know what Giles, one of these days I?m gonna find the guys that make 
all the end of the world prophecies and kick their butts!!? Buffy fumed.

They left the clearing and headed off to the opposite direction, this time 
the didn?t noticed the figure standing in the shodows who?s eyes glowed red. 
He turned and headed off campus.

Mac glanced at him seeing him clearly and not liking what she saw, she had 
used an old magicians trick on the two Slayers letting them see what the 
wanted to, her flying away, what they didn?t see was her return as she 
hovered behind a tree out of sight from the new hidden figure.

So much for a nice normal town.


Kryptonite part 2


Mac had flown to Gothem, and paid Oracle a visit. She asked for help in the 
form of using her computer and making new adjustment to her own lap-top. 
That night had been an eye opener and she wasn?t quite sure what to make of 
it.

Whatever was going on she wanted as many facts as possible before she did 
anything.

She found herself hacking into a database that had nearly everything the 
occult had to offer. Information on Slayers, Demons, Vampires, Witches and 
so on.

She even learned from their records about what had transpired at that little 
town since Buffy had moved there.

Mac had been there for over five hours, if she didn?t leave soon she?d miss 
out on catching any sleep, she had enough information for now, and whatever 
she?d need later she?d find later with her own PC.

?So you gonna tell me what this is all about?? Barbara Gordon, former 
Batgirl known as Oracle asked.

?Yeah, I just stumbled on a world of vampires, demons, and everything that 
goes bump in the night, and the only thing standing between us and hell on 
earth is a bunch of college kids, and two Slayers.?

?Huh??

?I think I know what it is I want to do,? she said.

?What??

'There are more things Horatio,' Barbara thought, she herself had seen many 
things but nothing like that, but she could accept anything these days.

?Help them.?

As she was leaving Barbara stopped her giving her a comm-link telling her 
that she made it especially for her, it was a strictly two way, for the two 
of them.

The next morning Mac rolled out of bed, her dreams had been troubled by the 
doubts that were plaguing her mind, should she reveal her powers, her 
heritage, or should she try to pass as a normal human who stumbled onto 
them, whatever it would be she would be apart of this fight, even if she had 
to once again watch from the shadows.

'Thank the Bat,' she thought ruefully.

The day progressed and she still didn?t know how to approach her two 
friends. Finally she just followed them as soon as her last class for the 
day was done, they lead her to an apartment building where she saw the man 
named Giles open the door for them.
--------------

Knock, knock, knock.

?I?ve got it,? Willow said.

Willow opened the door to find Faith standing there holding doughnuts.

?Xander and Anya have the other ones,? she said entering the apartment.

?Okay,? Willow said, ?we?re just getting ready for another research 
session.?

Closing the door the two made their way to the living room and settled down 
in the midst of various musty old books. Just minutes after Xander and Anya 
arrived with the rest of the food, another knock was heard.

Answering it Buffy was surprised to find Mac standing outside with her hands 
in her jacket pockets, shifting nervously.

?Mac,? Buffy said too cheerfully, ?what are you doing here??

?Uh, well I couldn?t find you guys at the library, and so I asked um, Tara 
and she told me you?d be here,? well it wasn?t a lie she had turned chicken 
and flown back to campus running into Tara and it just kinda came out that 
she was looking for her friends.

Hearing Tara confirm their location she thought she might as well follow 
through, so here she was, one of the most powerful metas in the world scared 
out of her mind.

?Oh well we?re um,? Buffy drew a blank.

?Researching?? Mac supplied.

?How did you know,? Buffy said glancing behind her.

?Mind if I come in??

?Sure,? Buffy replied moving aside.

?Lucky guess by the way,? looking in the living room she saw everyone 
sitting looking through very old books.

Moving towards the books she caught glimpses of the titles, the few of some 
books actually had. Picking one up she opened it and began to flip through 
speed reading.

?So what are you looking for?? she asked.

?Um well,? Giles said from his perch, ?the Sect of Cryydonn.?

?Not in this book,? she said simply, putting it back.

?How did you?? Xander asked.

?It's a gift, plus it was in Greek, my mother and grandmother taught me.?

?But that?s ancient Greek,? Willow said.

?I know, I read both among other things.?

Pausing and getting a good look at the group she took a deep breath and 
began, ?Guys, I got something to tell you.?

?Bloody Hell!!? Spike yelled as he came out from the basement.

?Spike! What are you yelling about??

?You wankers move I?m missing Passions!? he said as he kicked books out of 
the way and plopped himself down in front of the TV.

?A vampire who likes Passions, now I?ve seen some strange things before but 
nothing like this,? Mac said.

?Vampire, what vampire, we don?t know any vampires,? Willow babbled.

?Willow, I know,? Mac said looking at each of them in the eye, ?I know 
everything, the Slayers, the Council, Ascension, Master, I know.?

?How did you find out?? Buffy asked.

Now for the half-truths.

?I had my suspicions, but it was when I looked at the towns records and 
talked to some people they told me certain things that didn?t fit, phrases 
like ?Chosen One?, ?Slayer?, and some other things, so I looked in the web 
and hacked into the Council?s records.?

?So now what, you know what are you gonna do?? Anya asked.

?I never thought I?d be doing this, but I?d like to help, if you?d let me.?

For a few moments everyone was silent, then Buffy spoke.

?This is dangerous, we, me and Faith didn?t ask for this to happen to us, to 
get ?Chosen? and I wish to God sometimes that I never put my friends in this 
kind of danger, but I?ve argued this with them time and time again, and each 
time they?ve humbled me by choosing what I wish I could walk away from. I 
don?t know what to tell you.?

?How ?bout a trial run, heck even the JLA lets people to prove themselves, 
let me prove I can help, please.?

?What do you guys think?? Buffy asked turning to the gang.

They looked among themselves and nodded in agreement, ?Yeah, give her a 
chance.?

?Well, looks like your in,? Faith said, cocking her eyebrow, ?you might 
change your mind after researching though.?

Smirking Faith turned back to the book she held as everyone did the same. 
Sitting down among the Scoobies Mac began to skim through the books, this 
time taking more time and actually looking through the information.

Faith watched the new Scooby out of the cormer of her eye, she definately 
liked what she saw; tall, rich black hair, and the most intense blue eyes 
she had ever seen in her life. But there was no way the new girl would be 
interested, she?s a stick driver that one. Groaning out of fustration and 
bordom she turned back to her book and continued looking through for 
anything so they could finish.

After three hours nearly all the books had been looked through when Mac 
suddenly asked, ?Giles, what do you know about the Sect so far??

?Oh well the Sect originated in Ireland long before the man you know as St. 
Patrick stepped foot and began a reign of terror throughout the Isle, they 
sacrifice young men and women, always between the ages of 17 and 28 to a 
demonic force no one in our time knows the name of, their only purpose on 
this earth is to open a sleeping hellmouth, which as you may know lies under 
what was Sunnydale High, and bring about the Apocalypse.?

?Hmm, well how about I go on a food run?? she asked.

?Sure thing,? Faith said, ?I?m starving.?

?I?d give anything for some Chinese,? Willow said sighing.

?Yeah well by now it?s closed, so anything you bring will be fine,? Buffy 
said.

?Sure thing,? Mac said walking out of the apartment.

?Hey did anyone else realize that she just walked out there without 
protection?? Anya asked.

Springing into action the two Slayers ran to the door, as they opened it 
they looked around and couldn?t see her.

?Come one guys, she learned alot before coming here to ask to join, I think 
she?s fine,? Xander said, ?uh not that she?s fine, she?s okay, yeah okay, 
that?s what I meant to say.?

?Xander, we got it.?
---------------

?Hey Babs,? Mac said into her link.

?Adrienne, what?s going on??

?Could you do me a favor??

?Sure thing what do you need??

?Can you get in contact with Dr. Fate for me, I need some information.?

?Dr. Fate? What are you getting yourself into Adri?? Babs asked worried 
about her young friend.

?You saw what I was looking at last night right??

?You know me too well, but what?s that got to do with...?

?Everything, Babs,? Mac cut her off, ?it?s true it?s all true, look I know 
that you might not believe me but I need to get some information or else my 
new friends could get into some serious trouble.?

?Okay I?ll get him, what so you need?? Barbara asked relenting, and knowing 
from experience that somethings just shouldn?t be questioned.

?I need all the information he has involving the Sect of Cryydonn, and any 
and all prophecies that involve them.?

?Okay you got it, what?s that background noise?? she asked hearing Chinese 
in the background.

?Oh, I?m just getting some take-out, call me on my cell okay, later 
girlfriend.?

Knocking at the door Mac waited for someone to answer as she held and 
balanced various containers in her arms. Faith answered this time a look of 
surprise crossing her face as she saw all the containers Mac was holding.

?Delivery!? Mac called out with a grin on her face.

Buffy and Xander rushed to the door, one to check on her friend and the 
other out of hunger.

Minutes later they distributed the food no one was left empty handed.

?I wasn?t sure what you guys wanted so I just asked for different things, I 
hope that?s okay??

?God yes!? Xander said, ?You?re a hero.?

If Mac had been drinking something she might have choked, as it was she 
simply paused what she was doing for a second.

?Rriight.?

?So where did you get this anyways?? Faith asked.

?Let?s just say that, I?m gifted,? she grinned.

When the phone in Giles apartment rang and Giles answered Mac?s cell phone 
rang.

?Hello?? Mac said into her phone.

?Adrienne, listen Dr. Fate said he?d call your friend himself, so he should 
be calling any time now.?

?Yeah,? Mac said tuning into Giles? conversation after confirming what Babs 
had said she turned back to the cell, ?Thanks, I?ll call you later okay??

?Sure.?

Putting her cell away she continued to eat while Giles was talking and 
writing various notes, minutes later he hung up and turned to the gang.

?It seems we were very fortunate, a contact I haven?t heard from in a long 
time just called with information on the Sect, we know what their next move 
is, and we also know how to defeat them.?

?Funny how this happened to quickly after you joined,? Spike said looking at 
Mac.

Faith and the Scobies turned her attention to Mac as soon as they heard him 
say that.

?Gee, thanks now I?m a frickin? good luck charm.?

Willow and Xander laughed and Buffy turned back to Giles. Faith and Spike 
kept their attention on Mac as she also turned her attention to what Giles 
had to say.

?Damn, this can?t be good,? Mac thought hoping that Spike would drop it.

Again her cell rang and she answered it, ?Hello??

?Hi honey.?

?Mom!?

?Hey I missed you, would it be alright if I visit??
