Spoilers: damn so many; Season 6 Buffy, Season 9 X-files, various seasons from Charmed and Stargate
Disclaimer: They don’t belong to me, but a big mention, Carol Jordan belongs to the brilliant Scottish writer Val McDermid. Never mind Alan Moore the amazing brain behind the weird, but brilliant idea that inspired this. If some of the timings are off I apologise; the other things I like, Willow/ Tara is my passion.

Title: The League of Extraordinary Women Prologue
The battered bodies of SG-1 tested by too many fights and the loss of Daniel Jackson had taken its toll. Samantha Carter sat on her bunk feeling absolutely exhausted. For once she couldn’t care if The Gao’ulds invaded, Earth and The Asgards be dammed. She slept for a few hours until she heard a gentle knocking on her door and was surprised to see General Hammond standing there. “Sir, please don’t tell me there is another mission.”
“Yes Major Carter, but it’s not quite what you might think,” said the General, shifting uncomfortably. “You leave for Washington A.S.A.P”.

“Leo get your angel ass down here now,” yelled Piper, excited but not sure if should feel happy about being in the early throes of pregnancy, that added to Phoebe’s inability to cope with her final break up with Cole wasn’t helping. She was surprised when she saw the first sign of an orb in front of her. “It makes a change you answering a call so quickly…wait who the hell are you?”
A very young blonde woman had appeared in front of her. “I’m T-tara, Leo is on an emergency, or kinda working on something else.”
In spite of the situation Piper’s heart went out, the women in front of her was so young and for once looking up-to-date in the fashion stakes. “You haven’t been doing this long have you?”
“I’m s-so s-sorry, I knew I’d get this all wrong,” said Tara, looking down in at her feet.
“Hey it’s okay and every one has to start…wait is Leo hurt,” Piper clutched her stomach, fearing hitting in her in an instant.
Tara put her arm around Piper and guided her to one of the settee’s in the Halliwell
sitting room. “Leo’s fine, like I said he is just working with someone else, but I was sent here to tell you that you and your sisters are needed in Washington.”
“Why?” Asked Piper.
Tara shrugged. “I’m only here to deliver the message.”
“What if we can’t make it, we can’t just drop everything at the drop of a hat,” protested Piper.
Sad blue eyes stared back at her. “Innocents will die.”
Piper sighed. “Where are we supposed to be going?”

D.C. I Carol Jordan shifted uncomfortably in her seat and checked her watch; still another hour to go in this seemingly never-ending lecture on people smuggling. It’s not like she didn’t know how it worked; not after smashing a huge Eastern European ring a few months ago; but she a sneaky feeling that she had been sent to Quantico for this course because her boss couldn’t handle the fact that the mastermind behind the ring had viciously raped Carol when he had blown her cover. She rubbed her eyes trying to force that particular memory to the back of her mind. She almost jumped out of her seat when she was tapped on the shoulder.
“Detective Chief Inspector, could you please follow me? I think we may have a job for you.”

“Bitch, you think you are better that the rest of us don’t ya?” Asked the big muscular woman, who had been transferred on to Faith’s wing the day before. “Ya think you’re tough don’t ya?” She shoved the renegade slayer hard against wall of the laundry wall.
Faith turned quickly and poised herself. There was another time when she would have just beaten the crap out of this woman, but that was another lifetime and a different Faith. She kept eye contact with the woman hoping that she could stare her down and not have to resort to anything else. Before the tight stand off could be resolved a guard called over.
“Faith you’ve a visitor. You better come with me.”
The dark slayer turned and blew a kiss to her assailant, who snarled back at her.

“Drop your fire arm and lay on the ground with your hands above your head.”
The small redhead did as she was told. A man knelt beside her, his gun trained steadily on her, as their eyes locked. “That’s some chase you lead us on. Where’s Mulder?”
The woman carried on staring at him but didn’t make a sound.
“Doesn’t matter Dana, you’re the one we were told to bring in.”
*********************************
“I thought I recognised the voice of a fellow countryman; do you mind if I join you.”
“I’m waiting for someone,” said Willow, the friendly looking blonde man seemed nice but she didn’t really want to talk to anyone and she was wondering where Giles was. It was now almost a ritual with them; after she had finished with The Coven she would meet him here for a cream tea. She was surprised when the man sat down by her anyway.
“I haven’t time to beat around the bush…”
Willow started to panic. “Leave me alone.”
“Willow I can’t. I know how much you’re hurting and I wish I didn’t have to do this but your needed,” said Leo.
“I don’t do stuff anymore,” said Willow, she concentrated her feelings on the man and only felt goodness coming from him. “Please, find someone else.”
“I can give you back what you’ve lost,” said Leo. “If you come with me.” He hated having to do it this way, but he wasn’t sure how else he could get Willow to come with him and he knew she was vital.
“You have no idea what I have lost,” said Willow.
“Tara.”

Buffy picked up the phone. “Giles, how’s Willow? What do you mean you want me to meet her in Washington? What about Dawn? You can’t be serious. I’ll be there as soon as possible.”

could get what she lost? meaning 
?? I hope it does!!!! Keep it commin'!!!
. The story itself is very simple but it’s trying to use all of their talents and strengths that is the challenge.
.I know I keep say this but things are written an I hope they will be posted soon. The only thing I can say is that we ended working backwards on some TCIF updates for continuity so when they are posted it will be quite quickly.
. Being honest this wouldn’t have been written but for the current circumstance; as you know the only way I know to take my mind off things is to write and I didn’t want to 
overload you with anymore TCIF, Normality or Journeys so this got written instead.
MORE!
? Hope I manage to keep all the different characters going.
