Please excuse my bad spelling and poor writing skill. I am not a writer but I had a story idea that I really wanted to put out there. I am new to this so be kind. I do not own any of the characters in the story I am just playing with them.

If any one had asked Buffy if she would be working for the government after the whole Adam debacle. She would have laughed repeatedly in their face, and then probably punched them for being insulting. However her she was, 5 years on from The First working for an unnamed, unclassified and non existing part of the government that specialised in anything unusual or meta-human.

After the First the bridges and friendships that had been rebuilt before the battle quickly fell apart as Buffy couldn't continue to look daily at the faces that had betrayed her. After all the times she had saved their lives and sacrificed herself for them, they through her out into the dangerous streets and then when she was proven right they expected her to save the day again. Which she did as the fate of the world was more important than a grudge, but after the hate came back. Her sister who had kicked her out, the one she had looked after, rescued, quit college to support and thrown herself of the tower for. Willow who blamed her for a mistake and thought she was on a power trip. The same Willow who made constant magic mistakes and who almost deliberately destroyed the world. Xander the one who could never get over her relationships with Spike and Angel even though he was a massive demon magnet. Helloooooooo, ex-vengeance demon girlfriend. Then there was Giles, well she was never really the slayer he wanted but she had hoped after she had continuously beet the odds he would have had a bit more faith. She wasn't really mad at Giles like the others but the betrayal still stung. Old Buffy probably would have been able to forgive and forget but since being ripped from heaver she was different and a lot less forgiving. The loss of Spike and his unwavering faith in her was like another blow to her.

Almost immediately after their bus load rolled into L.A to stay with Angel the process of setting un the new watchers council began. Giles and Buffy were the heads of the council, Willow was in charge of the magic section and started to help train new witches. Xander and Dawn began training new watchers and Faith went travelling to round up the other slayers. A few months after getting bases set up round the world and a new headquarters in London, they started to realise that their were no new slayers being called even when one of the girls was killed, Giles said that it must be because the slayer line actually still only ran through Buffy and Faith. Following the discovery it was mandatory that all slayers but Faith and Buffy had to petrol in pairs or groups of 3. Buffy spent her time avoiding the Scooby's and all the new slayers avoided her because of stories from queen Kennedy. Giles was unsure what to do to help Buffy and he could see being at the council was slowly killing what was left of her spirit. Then came the surprise call from Riley.

"Hello, umm is this Giles?" came through Giles office phone. Giles looked shocked but then he recognised the voice.

"Riley, how are you. What can I do for you, how did you find us?"

"Giles, thank god its you. I have been looking for you guys since I heard about Sunnydale, do you know how hard it was to get this number. I have unlimited clearance at my organisation and the Watchers council is still restricted and need to know. I had to call in like 20 favours for this number and I wasn't really sure that it would be you who was answering. Is everyone okay after Sunnydale, how Buffy?" Giles took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Everyones okay. Well mostly, we lost Anya and some of the potentials in the last battle. Also Spike didn't make it, and Buffy well…. Some thing were said and done before the battle and I fear that the pore girl will never forgive us and she is not taking the loss of Spike well. She needs a purpose or I fear she will end up a hollow shell. As for the difficulty reaching us, well the watchers council has always been flagged in the system as classified and priority. There are about 30 people in the World who know what we actually do that aren't part of the council, people like the Queen,the President and a few other high powered individuals. When an agency stumbles of a case where the council needs to get involved, an simple order is passed down the food chain. We are sending you a consultant. Do not ask questions and do not record any of the operation from here on out. Their word is law and when this is over you forget them and any other part of the case. That you managed to get this number at all is massively surprising." explained Giles. "Its good to here from you Riley."

"I am sorry I wasn't there Giles, if I had known I would of been there to help."

"Its okay, my boy. There were enough lives on the line." there was an awkward long pause on the line and then Giles heard Riley sigh. "Riley, is there anything else?" Riley hesitated before speaking again.

"I don't think this is the best time, you guys are still recovering, it can wait."

"What is it Riley?" asked Giles.

"There is a new team being set up, for unusual cases. Demons and cult cases and the like. It will operate much like a ghost, unnamed, unclassified and in and out with no recognition. Due to my work in Sunnydale and the last few years of operation I have been running, they said I could hand pick the team and run it. But with Sam and the Baby I don't feel comfortable living like that at the moment. They asked if I could suggest some good candidates for the job, and I thought of Buffy. She is the best there is at what we do, she is used to working with no recognition and she is probably the most prepared for what anyone in the team will be coming up against. Also she is one hell of a leader, well the best I have ever had." Silence. "Ummm Giles?" More silence. "Giles, I shouldn't have said anything its to soon."

"This could work, a new start for Buffy. She has to get away from here Riley, its slowly killing her. We could say she is the councils foreign agency agent, she works for us but on other agencies teams. She could act separate from the council unless she needs the authority at some point. Its the easiest way to keep the council under need to know. Who else would be on the team, anyone she would know?" inquired Giles

"Ummm, she remembers Graham right? Also Oz has agreed to be on the team so she would have a friendly face. Are you sure she will be okay with this Giles, you sure its not to soon?"

"I will talk to her about it. When do you need to know by?

"The end of the week."

"Okay, will talk to you soon, bye Riley"

"Bye Giles."

Buffy immediately agreed, anything to get away from the Scooby's. She started packing as soon as possible which didn't take long, a small bag and her scythe. Giles had informed her that she was not to mention the council unless necessary and that she would be leaving by plane and that Riley would be introducing her. Giles also said he would deal with telling Willow, Xander and Dawn, he wouldn't let them try and make her feel bad about going.

After driving Buffy to the airport Giles turned to say goodbye. "Buffy, I am so sorry for not having faith in you and I hope that getting away will make you happy." Buffy smiled sadly at Giles.

"Goodbye Giles." Buffy made her way to the plane and went up the stairs. Sat in one of the seats was Riley.

"Hey Buffy."

"Riley, its good to see you." she said smiling. "It will be nice to see Oz again, and I sort of remember Graham. Who else will be in this team?"

"You have a old teammate of mine called Ben, he is an expert in surveillance and tech. There is Bear, real name Jack. Guy had a rough childhood and learnt to protect himself early in life. He is loyal, an excellent fighter, not scared buy anything and well he is built like a bear including a rough and grizzly there is your final team member, the beast man the armed forces has ever produced, Rick Flag.

I would love some reviews to let me know if you think I should keep going or not. Also if anyone would like to check my stories before I update them let me know.
