McPlotBunny # 8 : SEEING THE REAL WORLD
BTVS / Anita Blake crossover
TIMELINE: BTVS – Post-Season 7, Anita Blake ?
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *[/center][/color]
When Sunnydale’s Hellmouth was closed, large groups vampires and demons started to move to other places. Someone (vampire or demon) used this movement his/hers/its advance, and gathered a very big group of vampires and minor demons around him/her/it. Then this group moved to St. Louis.
St. Louis is a place for werewolves and vampires with souls, and soulless vampires and demons are forbidden to step on that area. So, this vampire/demon wants to get rid of the Master of the City, Jean-Claude, and rule St. Louis.
This group kills a lot of people and wreaks havoc in St. Louis. Jean-Claude is angry and wants to get his hands on the one who had caused all the trouble. But no one seems to know who is causing the chaos, and how to get rid of the killers.

After the destruction of Sunnydale, Buffy wasn’t sure what to do. But she knew things weren’t very well anymore between herself and the Scoobies. She still remembered what it felt like when her friends betrayed her, and she hates it how they assumed she’d forget it ever happened and that she would happily lead them again.
She doesn’t want to be the leader again. She wants to be alone for while and find herself again, find who she really is.
PTB summons her to meet them, and they tell her what they expect her to do. They tell about St. Louis and some other various places where lives lots of vampires with souls. They also tell her that Watcher’s Council has always known about these places, and they have had treaties with the Masters who ruled the cities – and because these places don’t have soulless vampires, Watcher’s Council has never sent a Slayer to these places, and they also hide this fact more the Slayers.
PTB wants her to go to St. Louis and try to solve this problem (meaning killing all the soulless vampires and dangerous demons). They also hint that they don’t mind if she would stay there to protect the city and learn more about this world.
Buffy decides it could be the answer to her problems, and she asks from Giles more about what she’s gonna face. Giles is very reluctant to give her any answers, and only says she can’t go to St. Louis – that he forbids it. And that of course pisses Buffy really off.
Then the others start to give their own opinions why Buffy couldn’t go there – why she has to go with them to Cleveland’s Hellmouth.
Finally she is so angry that she leaves them and heads to St. Louis without their ‘permission’. PTB knows her friends will interfere her mission and cause problems, so they decide to do something so they can’t find her or step in St. Louis.
* * *
In the meanwhile PTB has sent Whistler to St. Louis to inform the Master of the City about the Slayer’s arrival, and that she has PTB’s permission to deal and solve the problem.
Every vampire and werewolf is in panic when they hear about her coming – they have heard about her, they know about her history and what she has dealt with in the past. Most of them are really scared – even Jean-Claude feels some uneasiness. They haven’t ever met her or seen her pictures, so they’re expecting some giant Amazon woman with big muscles and small brains.
On the other hand Anita Blake is feeling herself quite irritated and annoyed when everybody seems to fear some woman (other than her), and everyone is yapping about the woman all the time. And she is almost ready to shoot when she sees Buffy.

QUESTIONS THAT STILL NEED ANSWERS:
What happens when/if the Scoobies try to find Buffy? How PTB has ‘protected’ Buffy?
How many surprises the resident vampires and werewolves get when they meet Buffy for the first time? How smitten/afraid they are when they see our tiny perky Slayer?
How Anita feels when she sees Buffy, and how she feels when everyone seems to fear/respect her? (before she meets her, she is annoyed, but what happens afterward?)
Can Buffy solve the problem before the chaos spreads?
What Buffy thinks about her life in St. Louis?
Is there any romance heading towards her?
