Sunnydale had become a tranquil town since Buffys arrival, the death rate in the suburb on the outskirts of L.A had plummeted from 200 a month to just over that per year
"Buffy you need to be training!" Giles shouted above the din of the heavy metal band playing at the bronze, Sunnydales only nightspot.
"But Giles we haven’t had a demon threat in months."
"Yes and that’s exactly why you should be training," the watcher said "you never know when the next big evil may arise and we must be prepared"
Buffy was used to Giles’ sometimes-unneeded nervousness, but as the chairperson of the newly formed Initiative Council it wasn’t unfounded.
The combination of the watchers council and the initiative had so far been fruitful bringing numbers of demons down to near extinction even in a place such as Sunnydale that sat atop the mouth of hell.
Whilst Giles chaired the organization to great effect many insiders felt that it was the younger deputies who really led the group one was Wesley-Wyndham Price who had come over from the watchers council and Professor Maggie Walsh who had been in charge of the initiative before the merger.
"Giles what the hell are you doing here?"
"Xander shut up and get down to the base camp you have a recon mission in the morning you can’t go to the other end of L.A after being here all night can you!" Giles snapped
"But"
"Go now," Giles said sternly
As Xander turned to walk away Giles called after him
"And if you ever brake curfew again you will be debriefed."
Giles’ threat clearly rattled Xander who turned to salute his commanding officer and proceeded to leave without any further attempt at argument.
Giles turned his attention back to Buffy clearly annoyed by what had just happened, Xander was a fine soldier who would one day be a great team leader if he could only grow up.
"Buffy I expect you to be at the training facility in 30 minutes"
Buffy pulled up outside the huge warehouse on the outskirts of the city at around 10.20. She opened the door to a scene she had became familiar with over the past few months, literally hundreds of people were in the room training in any type of combat known to man.
"Right this way Buffy." Giles called through the noise
The petite blond girl followed the old English man to one of the adjoining training rooms.
The room was full of all sorts of gadgets, the weaponry given her since the merger had been greatly improved but somehow Buffy still felt that a good old fashioned stake was the best way to go.
"Buffy I would like you to meet Daniel Holtz"
A man of around the same age as Giles stepped forward his features rough and steely, they made him look older than he probably was.
"Hello Buffy," "My name is Holtz I have been hired to oversee you training" Holtz stated gruffly
"Oh." Buffy replied rolling her eyes.
Buffy had seen many trainers come and go not one of them was any kind of a match for her, including Giles.
" Giles informs me that you cannot find a suitable sparring partner," "Is that true?" Holtz asked
"Yes sir it is" Buffy acknowledged the question with a great since of pride even without training she was sure there was no human or possibly demon that could best her.
"Buffy I would like you to meet my son Connor," "I think you’ll find him up to the task at hand."
A young man of around 19 stepped forward out of the shadows he was tall and slender looking, his light brown hair fell messily over his head.
Buffy sniggered another pretty boy who thinks he’s got what it takes.
The boy looked of no match for Buffy as they prepared to spar under the watchful eyes of Holtz and Giles
Buffy took a wild swing at the boy who easily ducked it and landed a snap kick to Buffy sending her sprawling across the room.
"I told you." Holtz remarked as he and Giles left the room.
Buffy returned to her fighting stance ready to pounce on Connor what she did not was that Connor would attack her and not try to keep from getting hurt as so many of her other trainers had.
Connor was able to keep Buffy at bay, he was even confident enough to give her words of advice as they battled.
"Buffy fighting is all about timing and balance don’t go rushing in."
With that Buffy attempted a spin kick only to be swept deftly of her feet as Connor tripped her.
Connor extended his hand to help Buffy up; he pulled her to her feet with one pull.
"Do you even know who I am?" Buffy asked breathlessly
"Yeah you’re the vampire slayer who thinks she doesn’t have to train." Connor smirked
The remark sent waves of humiliation through Buffy she had become over confidant and she knew it. Sheepishly she turned back to Connor.
"Holtz must be a fine teacher," Buffy commented as she tried to start up a conversation.
"He’s ok I guess but it wasn’t him who taught me to fight it was my real father," Connor sighed looking at the floor "That is before he lost his soul" he finished his voice tinged with sorrow
"So your dads a vamp now?" Buffy questioned
" No he was a vamp."
"Huh?" Buffy replied looking confused by this statement
"I am the living human child of two vampires, one of which had, had their human soul restored."
"So how did he lose it?"
"A man named Wolf Hart used black magic to take it away."
" I’m sorry." Buffy said in a whisper
Although she thought of Vampires only as animals she did know what it was like to lose a father.
A knock on the door interrupted the depressing conversation that had been started in the room.
"Come in!" Buffy yelled
The door was pushed open by a coloured man who looked straight at Buffy.
"Hey Forest," "This is Connor."
The two men shook hands and greeted formally.
"Giles would like to see you in the library." Forest stated
"Ok tell him I’ll be right there."
Forest turned leaving the room muttering under his breath he hated having to work under a woman especially one such as Buffy who had his best friend Riley loopy with love.
Buffy turned back to Connor
"You coming?" she asked as she went towards the door
"Yeah sure."
As the two walked through the labyrinth of tunnels in the I.C headquarters there was a tense silence after the conversation they had previously had neither one felt like talking.
"So what did you say your dads name was?" buffy asked as she pushed open the door to the library
"Angelus." Connor answered as the library door swung open
Giles turned to look at the pair a look of bewilderment etched on his face
"What did you just say?"
End of part 1...part 2 to come
