Part One.


Helena Kyle was on a mission. She was searching for something or someone that was out of her area of expertise.
The only clue she had led her to a woman's prison in Los Angeles and to a girl named Faith.
She was let in to see her and led to those ever popular small rooms with the glass partitions and the phone on the wall.
Faith was dressed in a rather casual outfit of a t-shirt and jeans as she walked up and took a seat in the chair opposite Helena.
Helena could tell Faith was not thrilled about this meeting and just wanted to ask her a few questions and move on with this investigation. She picked up the phone and waited for Faith to do samesame, "Hi."


"If your here you either want something from me or want to threaten me, which is it?" Faith questioned with a look or annoyance covering her face.
"You got me. I'm hoping you can help me find something. I'm Helena. I'm what you'd call a crime fighter much like I hear you were before you got locked up. I am working on a very strange case and the only clue I was given was your name so I was hoping to ask you a few questions."
Faith looked Helena over before grabbing responding, "Might as well. I've got nothing better to do."


"Good then." Helena then took out a small piece of paper that was a piece of some map and then another picture that showed Faith fighting the very demon she was after and gave her some time to look at them then continued, "This demon here is either an exact replica of the one you killed called Kakisto or a species that looks eerily similar. Now on the back of this map here are the coortes tes to an island near the very famous Bermuda Triangle. We have two other sources that say you have been there before which makes you the perfect guide for this trip. What makes me and my associates interested in this case is that these demons seemed to have hooked up with some very evil meta humans and are slowly taking over the city I work in, New Gotham."


Faith was taking in everything Helena just told her and still was not sure why she would be needed for any of this, "I know nothing about these so called meta humans. But yes I have been to that island before. I was there while I worked for the mayor of Sunnydale. Still not sure how that makes me all that useful. As for that demon, I've only seen one like it and he's dead now. If there are more like him that's not my concern. Besides, as you can see I'm not really up for vacation time just yet."


"Well if you agree to help me I can change that for you. I know people who can be very helpful in getting you released for good. So all's I'm asking is your help on one mission and then your free to go your own way."
Faith was very anxious to get out of prison and really could not pass this up and nodded her agreement and Helena smiled, "Great. I have to make a few calls but I should have you out of here within hours. Is there anything you need to get before we head out? I'd like to get a move on as soon as possible."


"I own nothing but the clothes on my back so just say the word and I will be ready."
"I'll be back soon." Helena smiled and hung up the phone and quickly called Barbara who used her connections to get Faith released and after alot of red tape was out of the way Faith was standing at the prison gate with nothing but a small bag of her personal items and Helena pulled up in a black SUV and Faith jumped in and sat her bag in the back and they were off.
During the ride to the airport neither girl said much, but Faith was more than happy to just enjoy being free again and enjoying the sight of cars, birds, peoplekingking and all the little things she had missed the last three years in prison.


Helena pulled into the airport and drove around to a small hangar at the far west side of he airport and parked her car inside a small garage and then got out of the car and opened up the back and grabbed her one suitcase and motioned for Faith to follow her as she made her way to the chartered plane that was waiting for them.
It was a large 747 that used to be a passenger liner, but was now used for commercial trips so they had the whole things to themselves.
All 240 seats.


Helena sat up in first class and Faith followed and sat in the isle beside Helena and sat her bag down beside her and looked over at Helena who had taken out a laptop and plugged it in and was soon communicating with Barbara.
"Hi Barbara, were on the plane now and ready to take off. Did you find out anything else on this island or this demon?"

"Actually yes I did Helena. The island has become a compound now and is heavily guarded and nobody is quite sure what needs such tight security but there are many rumors about drug lords using it with the help of demons. Isn't that a great combination. We did some checking on this demon and it seems to have adapted to living with humans over the years and now is more intent on living the high life in the lap of luxury. They still kill, but it's instinct for self preservation has made it very careful about using it's demon form. So it can look like a human like so many other demons and we do not know what human form it has taken, meaning you will have to be very careful with whoever you deal with."
Faith was trying to figure out what Helena was doing and couldn't help but listen in on the rest of the conversation, "I'm always careful Barbara, you know that." Helena said with a smile, knowing full well that wasn't how she worked.


"Very funny. You better be careful this time." she paused for a moment, then almost began whispg, "g, "Are you sure you can count on this girl to help? I've done some further checking into her background and even before she turned bad she was pretty much a loose cannon. I'm not sure that's who you need watching your back right now."
Helena smiled over at Faith and tried to ease Barbara's mind as best she could, "I'm confident that whatever situation comes out way Faith and I will be able to handle it. Don't worry about me okay. Jueep eep working this from your end and we'll be fine."


Barbara could tell Helena was either unable to talk or just trying to get off the phone or more than likely a little of both so she said her good bye's and told Helena to keep in touch. Helena agreed and then put down her cell phone.
"I gather your friend isn't a big fan of mine and thinks you are crazy using me to help you?" Faith said calmly, well aware of how most people react to her for the first time.
"That's pretty much the gist of it." Helena responded directly as she closed her laptop and sat it in the chair beside her.
"At least your honest." Faith looked right at Helena and was trying to figure out why she seemed so at ease around her. Most people were always nervous and afraid Faith would jump out of her seat and attack them for no good reason.


Helena got out of her seat and sat right next to Faith and decided to clear the air, "Okay, here's the deal. I know nothing about you. I don't need to know anything about you. Were on this assignment to work together and stop the bad guys thenthen we can both be on our merry little ways. The way I see it I will trust you unless you give me reason not to. But then we'd have a problem."
Faith admired her confidence and the fact she was straight with her as well, "That's fine by me. I plan on doing my part in this and then I have no idea what I will do. For now I just want to stay focused on this job."
"Good. That's how I like it. So, this is going to be a very long plan ride so did you want to sleep the whole time or watch a movie or what?" Helena asked not really sure how she wanted to spend the time herself.


Faith put her head back and closed her eyes, "I'm pretty used to long periods of silence myself."
"Sure, if that's what you want to do. Go for it." Helena got up and sat back over on the other side of the isle.
Faith looked at her and wondered what her problem was, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No. Sorry, just didn't want to push. If you need your space I'm fine with it."
"I'm just not used to being around people. I mean that I actually wanted to do anything with. Aside from the shrink they gave me I really didn't do alot of talking."
"That's funny, I have a shrink I talk to every week to. She's really nice and I think it's helped me with some of my issues. After talking to her I just wanted to have a real conversation though. With her it was just alot of answering questions and I wanted to be the one asking the questions for a change."


"I hear ya." Faith said, her tone picking up for the first time, "Maybe it would be good if I got a little talking in. So if your up for answering alot of boring questions I can do the same."
"Sounds great. Let me just put this away." Helena turned off her laptop and put it in the compartment above her head and turned back to Faith, "Okay then, what's your story? I'm not here to judge you or anything like that, I just want to know a little about the girl I'm gonna be working with."


Faith was ready to get her defenses up but relaxed just as fast as Helena explained what she was looking for, "Not much to tell really. Grew up in Boston. Found out I was a slayer. Lost my watcher early on. Went to Sunnydale to meet the famous slayer Buffy. Became friends with Buffy. Became enemies with Buffy. Did alot of really bad things and went to jail."
Helena was listening closely as Faith recapped her life in a few very brief sentences and knew there was alot more to her life than she was letting on, "Well that sounds quite interesting. You seemed to leave out this little thing called details. I didn't want a novel or anything, but I was hoping for a bit more than sound bites. But, I don't want to push either."


"It's okay. It's an matimatic reflex. I hate talking about myself. I've told the story of my life to so many shrinks that I had to shorten it just a tad. So what's your story?"
"Oh, I saw my mom killed when I was young and met up with another woman and we worked together to rid Gotham City of all the bad people. I work as a bartender and have no real life outside my job, but I get by."
Faith felt sad about Helena losing her mother but was not sure what to say about it or her life. Faith was always better flirting or verbal sparring than really opening up and talking to someone, "I'm sorry about your mom. That must've been hard for you. So, how exactly does a girl like you fight crime anyway? No offense but you look more like a model than a fighter."
Helena laughed at Faith's impression of her but was more than used to it, "Me, a model? Nah. Too quiet and still for my taste. I'm what we call a meta human. I have enhanced abilities in a number of areas and that gives me enough of an edge to take down most anyone who gets in my way. Plus, I just enjoy the fight."


"Well, you sound so much like me it's kind of scary. But, in a good way." Faith assured, "What is the plan for the mission were on now?"
"Right now there is no plan." Helena said with a smile, "We will land on a very small island just north of the Bermuda Triangle and set things up there. The better you know the area the quicker we can do this and get back to civilization."
oundounds fine to me. I was here once with my watched when I was younger and then again when I worked for the mayor of Sunnydale." Faith's face dropped just slightly as she thought about how things ended with Buffy back then, "Anyway, I did use a dimensional door to get to where I was going though. That does save alot of the unpredictability of this area. It really is a mysterious area and even most demons won't go near it without the proper magic."


y, iy, if you know of some way to open one of these doors your talking about be my guest."
"That's where it gets a bit tricky. I didn't actually know the demon who opened the door. The guy I was working for set it up. He's no longer around. We might be stuck using the conventional methods this time."


Helena's comlink was beeping and Barbara came online, "Helena. Listen up. I just got word that someone on your plane is working with the demon your after. Dinah and I were looking through the database and found a number of names of known associates of the gang who is trying to take over New Gotham and found one name on your flight. It's a Stefan Kubek. He's mid 40's, 6'1, 170 pounds, gray hair and goatee. I am sending you his rap sheet and you can have a look at what your dealing with."
"Thanks Barbara," Helena said as she scanned the passengers around her, "I'll have a look at his file and Faith and I will deal with him if we have to. If he doesn't know were onto him we might be able to follow him and let him lead us to this demon."


"That's not a bad idea. Just be careful. He has more than one conviction for assault and he even served time for murder, so he can be dangerous."
"We'll be careful. Thanks Barbara. I'll be in touch." Helena reached up and grabbed her laptop again and her and Faith had a look at the file of the man they were looking for and decided to take turns having a look around.
Faith took the first watch and got up and took off her leather jacket and sat in on her chair and started walking up and down the isles looking for Stefan.


There were three sections to the plane and they were in the section furthest to the back and would have to go through some patricians to get to the other sections and that would not be easy in this day and age.
Faith went back to her seat and advised Helena that she hadn't spotted Stefan and they both agreed to wait until they landed and make sure they found him before they left the airport.
They leaned back and relaxed and were both lost in a very peaceful sleep when the voice on the intercom told everyone to buckle up for the landing.


The plane landed with no complications and Helena and Faith quickly grabbed their stuff and rushed to the exits so they could be ready for Stefan when he got off the plane.
They split up and each took one side of the baggage area and watched as the hundreds of people claimed their luggage before finally Helena spotted Stefan and called Faith over to where she was, "There he is. I have a car rented but I have to sign in and pick it up. You keep an eye on him and I will take care of this."
"No problem." Faith watched Helena take off then turned her eyes back to Stefan who was still searching for his luggage.


Helena filled out the paperwork and got the keys to her car and rushed back to Faith just in time to see Stefan grab one large box and a briefcase, set them on one of the carts and he rolled them outside.
The girls followed him from a safe distance and saw him walk up to and open a white van up and put the box and the briefcase in the back. He then got in the passenger side of the van and moments later the van was backing up.
Helena ran to the rental car area and found her silver BMW and opened the door, let Faith in and she was off.


The van was stuck in traffic and the girls were a couple cars behind it but in perfect position to follow it so they were both happy about that.
Once traffic began moving again the van drove at a very steady pace along the highway and continued until it came to a large industrial area.
They stopped at a gate and handed some type of card to the person in the booth and soon the gates were open and they drove inside.
Helena parked her car in a parking lot on the other side of the complex and her and Faith got out and had a look around.


The whole complex was surrounded by an electric fence which did present a minor problem for the girls, but not as much as the many security camera's that were everywhere and the 20-30 attack dogs that were also patrolling the area.
After the girls had a very good look around the place they went back to the car to figure out the next step.
Helena turned on her comlink and buzzed Barbara, "It's me Barbara. I'm gonna need your help here. Were at an industrial complex on the east side of the city and there are some obstacles in the way. What I need is some blueprints to this place. Anything you can find. A back entrance. Where the camera's are. How many people work here. Anything really. The name is Stanley Industries. I'll send you the address here when I'm done. Call me if you get anything."


"I will. Dinah is with Reese right now. Seems there was another robbery just hours ago. Another gun shop was hit and they took everything in the place. Were talking a very large store so whoever did this has some serious firepower now."
"Thanks for the information. We'll stake this place out for awhile and hope you can come up with something we can use. If not, we'll have to improvise."
"Give me 30 minutes. Go grab something to eat while you wait."
"That's not a bad idea. Talk to soon." Helena told Faith about the robbery and about the wait and suggested the find a place close by to grab some food and Faith was quick to agree to that.


They found a small diner just around a block away and it was very quiet and they took a table in the back and ordered some food.
Both girls were sitting back letting the food settle when Helena broke the silence, "That was very good. I haven't had a burger like that in years. So, how are you doing? Is it strange being back in the world again?"
"A little." Faith took a sip of her pop, then looked back at Helena, "I'm not used to this much freedom. It's so easy to take it for granted. I was on a pretty strict schedule for 3 years."


"I'm sure that had to be hard on you. Especially if you were so active before."Helena could see Faith's remorse and guilt on her face whenever she talked about her time in prison and felt this strong desire to comfort her and tell her it would be okay, but for now she chose to learn more about her, "What's it like dealing with demons and vampires anyway? Sounds so strange to me. I deal with alot of strange things in my line of work, but almost all of them are of the human variety. Just enhanced and evil."
"Evil does come in many different shapes and sizes. In many ways I'm glad I deal with vampires. In vampire form they look evil. Same with demons. Some can take the shape of humans and that's when things become way to gray for my liking."


"I'm not a big fan of gray either." Helena agreed with a smile, "I focus on what they did and that is more than enough motivation for me to stop them."
"I have a feeling you do stop them all, don't ya?" Faith grinned, "So what do you do for fun? To relax?"
Helena noticed how different Faith looked when she smiled. Her face lit up and her eyes seemed brighter and she looked so much softer and vulnerable, not to mention having a gorgeous smile.
"I work out alot. Stay in shape. When I'm navinaving the world I work as a bartender and that takes care of all my free time." Helena paused after she had said all that, "Wow, I really do need to have more fun when I get back."


Faith was studying Helena just as much as she was her and she felt so at ease with her and felt she could trust her from the start and this hadn't happened for her since she first met Buffy and she wanted to make sure things didn't end the same way for her and Helena.
"Well, I could show you how to have fun. That was pretty much all I thought about when I first became a slayer. After spending so many nights fighting vamps and demons I needed to unwind and my favorite way to do that was dancing." Faith's eye's lit up again as she began talking about something she loved, "I d dad dance all night and did way more than I should've. It's just so free being on the dance floor. I was just Faith then. Not Faith the slayer. Just Faith the girl who loved to dance. I miss that."


Helena watched how expressive Faith's face was. Every emotion was right there. It was fun to see her smile because it was so different than the serious girl she had seen so much of.
"You'll have to show me how to dance then. I'm terrible at it. Have two left feet. Maybe when we take care of this situation we can make a night of it."
Faith looked at Helena, not sure what to make of her invitation, but could tell she was sincere, "Well sure, I'd like that. It's a date then." Faith said the words and then began wondering how they might sound, "I didn't mean date. I meant just go out together. You know, just go out. That's all. I didn't mean...."
Helena smiled at Faith's stuttering, "It's okay. I know what you meant. And I can't wait to go dancing with you when this is all done. I could use some R&R."


"I know what you mean. I've been locked up for three years and it sure wasn't easy to rest and it was anything but relaxing." Faith looked up just as Stefan walked into the diner and she touched Helena on the arm to get her attention.
Helena smiled at Faith's touch and took her hand in hers and noticed a large scar near her elbow and was about to look at it closer when Faith pulled it back motioned for her to look at the counter.
Stefan was picking up two large bags of takeout and paid and headed out the door.


"We better follow him in case he doesn't go back to the warehouse." Helena said as she took Faith's hand and headed to the door.
He got in the same white van and it took off immediately and the girls got in their car and were following at a safe distance.
After a long ride through the small town the van pulled up to a large dock and three men got out including Stefan and made their way down to a yacht that was at the far end of the pier.


Helena tapped her comlink and called Barbara, "Barbara, were in the middle of an emergency here. The guy were tailing is about to get on a yacht. We need something to follow them in and we neednow.now. Please find us something soon."
"I'll look into it but I can't promise anything. You better be in position to improvise if I can't turn something up."
"Don't worry, we'll think of something if we have to, but having our own transportation would just make everything so much easier. Do what you can." Helena looked at Faith who had heard the conversation and they both looked at the men climbing onto a yacht called, The Meridian.
The girls walked up on the pier and looked around at the countless small boats that made up the majority of the marina, while a few very expensive yachts were all grouped together beside The Meridian.
