Willow was amused. Dr. Jack Hodgins had asked Special Agent Seeley Booth for a gun. Booth looked from Hodgins to Dr. Temperance Brennan and back and muttered something about squints wanting guns. The look on his face spoke volumes of bewilderment, amusement, and that the likelihood of that ever happing was small at best. Willow would probably be the only squint to never ask for a gun. She agreed with her friend, Buffy the vampire slayer, that guns were never useful. Willow had more power than a mere gun. She had finally gained control of her magic and could do things to defend herself and others.

Willow had been lucky to have no need of those powers since coming to Washington D.C. She hadn't been involved in any apocalypses since that last one in Sunnydale in May. Nine months and no apocalypse on the horizon almost had Willow feeling confident that that was all behind her. She wasn't foolish enough to actually voice that thought and jinx herself into another apocalypse.

That calm was changing as her girlfriend, Toni Wood, was beginning slayer training under the Watchful eye of Dawn Summers-Addy. That was also a lucky break- Dawn marrying Zack in Vegas around New Year's. They had decided to give marriage a good try and stay married. Dawn had been training to be a Watcher since Sunnydale and Toni would be her slayer. Dawn was a bit young and under-qualified but since the Council had been blown up, Giles was willing to let a half trained Watcher be in the field, especially since the Watcher in question was Buffy's sister and had been on ground zero for the fight against the First.

Willow was startled out of her reverie as Angela Montenegro, her boss, asked for her help. Time to actually earn her keep, Willow thought as she moved off to do just that.

I really liked it. It's good. The only flaw is my own, who is that person you said was Willow's new girlfriend. I don't remember to watch Bones enough.

The person was the hot Courier chick in the episode "Man in the Bear". She only apears in the one episode. Both Zack and Hodgins are competing for her but in the end she gives the package that would signify who she would chose to Angela. She is played by the lady who played Principal Wood's mother in the last season of Buffy so I reasoned she would be a slayer and date Willow. It is a really obscure line of reasoning.
