Flashback


Sunnydale, right after the ascension


Buffy followed Giles closely as he opened the door to his apartment, determined to see him home safe. He didn’t bother turning the lights on as he walked forward and set his keys on a table by the couch. Buffy closed the door and as it clicked into place a voice sounded from the darkness that enveloped the living room.

“Quite the fireworks. I didn’t think you had it in you, old man.” The soft female voice said, the British accent was apparent.

“Mary?” Giles whispered willing his eyes to adjust so he could see her. “What are you doing here?”

“I heard about what was happening, thought I’d drop in, see if you needed a hand but you and your slayer seemed to have things under control.”

“Thanks.” Buffy said as she flicked on a table lamp. The slayer examined the girl seated on the floor in a corner carefully. She looked no older than 16. Her hair and eyes were both dark brown, contrasting harshly to her deathly pale skin, but all of her silent slayer senses told Buffy this girl was human. Even in her seated position Buffy could tell she was tall and her body was tense with hidden muscle. “Who are you?”

The girl looked completely shocked for a moment. Then her eyes darkened till they were almost black and Giles cringed when she turned them on him. “You never told her?”

“It never came up.” He said sadly.

“Oh bloody hell. Don’t even try…” She trailed off and her thin frame nearly shook with rage.

“Uh, hello?” Buffy asked turning questioning eyes to her Watcher. But before he could answer the girl, Mary, rose gracefully to her feet and strode forward.

“You must be Buffy. I’m Mary Catherine Giles.”
