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?"
