Wow, freaking awesome chapter, loved the reveal at the end. Daft question, but what is a rebar?

I'm really glad that Faith has discovered some self worth, there's no way that she should be Buffy's dirty little secret, not after she's kept that massive secret for Buffy, and took care of her when she was resurrected she deserves better than that.
Their entire "relationship" seems to be one big circle, with a whole lotta denial thrown in, mainly on Buffy's part, but since when is that new?

Yay Giles, thank you for finally giving a crap, that scene was really touching, I loved his concern for Buffy, (which is natural, of course) but his worrying for Faith endeared me to him more than ever. I think that Faith needs that, an adult/parental figure, now that Joyce is gone, to show that some one gives a damn about her. (however much she resists it)
No Faith, your a slayer there no such thing as a decent nights sleep, don't be so naive ;-)

The Willow/Faith talk was really sweet, I loved her reaction to what she "thought" Faith was telling her. Red telling Faith that it wasn't just Buffy that she and the gang were concerned about, but for Faith too, was something that I really liked, it shows how that relationship has evolved from the jealous high school Willow we saw, into a one were she actually cares about Faith. Nice try from Faith trying to put Willow on the backfoot during the interrogation with the "snuggling" comment, high-school Red would have completely recoiled, gotten flustered, then backed off.

Good on Faith for calling Red out on the secret keeping over the summer, they've gotta answer for that. Why on earth would they think Faith would stop them from bringing Buffy back? I love Faith's bitterness in her last comment to Red, the horrible thing is that in-spite everything she's done I don't think they'll ever fully trust her.

Olivia's reveal at the end, color me stunned, in the words of Faith "What. The. F**k."

My favorite chapter so far, can't wait to see how the re-write progresses.
Author Feedback: Okay first off a rebar is a piece of metal used in concrete structures and such, far as I know, lol...one helluva strong bar of metal *nods*

Of course their relationship is one big circle, it's Buffy and Faith here laugh.gif It'll get better though and things will move forward in a much better way for both of them

I had to make Giles more of that watcher/father figure to Faith since they did have all that time together before Buffy was brought back to life to bond and all that. Of course he's gonna care about her now. It's who Giles is, right?

I like an evolved Willow and even though the gang don't really have many scenes in this fic, writing a few small ones with them, especially with Willow is always fun but always hard for me for some reason *shrugs*

I loved writing Olivia's reveal like that. It was so much fun bringing the first twist to the story biggrin.gif

Glad that's one of your favourite chapters so far and thanks again for the awesomely long review hug.gif

Wow! I had a feeling something was up with Olivia but no way would I have guessed that. They will have bigger problems now.

It feels like Buffy is starting to show some real feelings toward Faith. Good to see but of course, it looks like there's trouble ahead.

Better start writing cos you need to update soon! thumbup.gif clap.gif biggrin.gif
Author Feedback: Oh you have no idea how big this problem is going to be! And that's all I'm gonna say about that cos yeah.... ph34r.gif

Holy smokes what a twist! ohmy.gif didn't see that coming! I was thinking that maybe you would use Olivia to maybe make make Buffy jealous or something like that but to make her more than Human wow! I like it! Can't wait to find out more! Can't wait till the next update to read more!
Author Feedback: Using Olivia to make Buffy jealous would so have been predictable and believe me I debated whether or not to do it and decided against it every time the thought crossed my mind and for good reason because now...well, you'll see as you read the next chapter cool.gif

if i was faith i'd definitely be confused! buffy said shes not using her, but than she says its just having sex? and faiths lying to everyone? not a good sign! so does that mean olivia IS the first? lots of questions few answers. loved the up-date waiting excitedly for the next chapter! thumbup.gif
Author Feedback: I can't really say anything since with this twist, everything is about to change in ways pretty much nobody is gonna expect (at least I hope so!)

Thanks for reading and reviewing, hope you enjoy the next chapter cool.gif
