I hope the bad guys don't try to target Garcia again, now that the first attempt has failed. Also it sounds like Kevin is aware of some shadowy group of monsters that poses a continuing threat to humans. I find it hard to believe that the New council is aware of them and not doing anything about it, even if the old council was willing to let things lie. And if the new council is aware of the bad guys why have they not been wiped out - are they just too hard a target?

Glad to see the update, and I loved how Kevin tried to explain the truth without tell her all of it.

Love this.

Friends are always handy! Even when you don't know that you have them :) I wonder what Buffy and Xander were doing in the area- were they investigating whatever Garcia stumbled across from the other direction?

Very much looking forward to the next chapter

hehehe kevin and xander switcharoo

cant wait for more

I am eagerly looking forward to the next chapter of this story.

I'm *REALLY* looking forward to seeing that conversation that Kevin is going to be having with Garcia and Morgan! ;-)

And the 'Bruce' comment made me grin even wider than I was while I reading.

Loving this story!

and you brought in more CM characters!! Lovely

A great introduction for Garcia and Morgan.

I dunno, maybe she could save the spandex for special occasions? With Amy gone though who are they going to go after next?

Happy to see more of this. Thanks for writing.

You're welcome, thanks for the review.

A great insight into both Buffy and Xander and how they were effected emotionally by their actions.

Thanks for the review.

Excellent!!! ;-)

I really like the way you're showing us the tentative reconciliation efforts each are making to repair their friendship, since it wouldn't be all that believable to accept that they'd immediately fall back into the relationship pattern they'd previously had.

You also have both Xander's and Buffy's speech patterns and attitudes done quote well, and I especially liked the “So are you gonna tell me what’s up or do I have to keep telling the rest of the house that you’re nightmares are just flashbacks to the time you walked in on Dawn in the shower?” comment Buffy makes to try and broach the subject of Xander's nightmares, without looking like she's trying to browbeat him into discussing the subject.

Love the characterizations you're showing us of both Xander and Buffy, and I'm wondering when either Dawn or Willow are going to start harassing either of the two with questions about how this new phase of their relationship (which they've mistakenly assumed has taken place) is progressing. ;-)

As I said, this is excellent work on how the two can repair their friendship and possibly progress to new ground.

I'm also waiting curiously (and reluctantly patiently, too) to see whether Kevin discovers that the FBI does have a group to deal with the Scoobies' area of activities.

Thanks for the review, I appreciate the feedback. I've been treading water on the FBI question because I'm not sure if I want to bring in elements of another series or movie or if I want to simply create one. As to the first option, I don't want to use the X-files but there doesn't seem to be any other options although I am toying with the idea of having such cases refered to the BPRD (Hellboy). The second option feels like more of a challenge then I'm up to. Any suggestions you could make would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Aww, nice hug at the end there, I agree that Buffy said the perfect thing. You could almost end the story there! Any continuation could be the start of another story :)
An interesting aside there too about the FBI X-files. You could really go places with that.
