Buffy and crew in the supernatural verse

[Alexander the immortal]

The other Buffy thread in the first page and past threads that put Supernatural characters in the Buffyverse was an inspiration for this one.

So how would she fare ?

Could she go against demons ? Could Buffy-crew survive ? How far could she go ? What kind of impact would she have on the universe ? Would she ally with the Winchesters ? Or perhaps the opposite ?

I am talking about Season 5 Buffy crew.

Anyway , write what you think about it.

[Pendaran]

So how would she fare ?

How various other hunters fare? As far as them from the series, she and her group are not exactly a proactive lot in terms of scouring nation wide news reports and rumours for fragmentary hints of things that would look like monster troubles, or a very mobile bunch as far as being ready to criss cross America at the drop of a hat just to investigate a lone pseudo rumour that might not even pan out, so, she hunts whatever comes up in whatever place she lives in, I imagine.

Which is not an exciting answer, but it's about accurate.

What kind of impact would she have on the universe ?

I can't see her coming across any of the things that would facilitate having an especially major impact on the universe. Sam and Dean have out of being personally significant to them, and things ballooned from there.

Could she go against demons ?

No, not really as far as personally. She'd be a lot more reliant on Willow and Giles to do excorcisms and the like.

Could Buffy-crew survive ?

Sure.

Well there are some great sources of information of the Supernatural universe - the hunters

So far that they survive and they hunt supernaturals , isn't it likely that sooner or later they would pump into them ?


At one point in time i guess news of the world going bad will find them , rather than them having to search for it.

Let's say they survive until season five time. I think they would start to notice that something happening in the world.

However granted Sam and Dean ARE at the center of the whole conflict. They where chosen to be .

So i guess Buffy and crew must pump into them . That is the shorter way of Buffy-crew being involved with the most important events happening on the show.

It just seems to me that Buffycrew finding other hunters is possible. And that increases her chance of meeting Sam and Dean and they as well as gaining a better perspective of the world around them.

(let's say they discover Demons , what are demons plans ? Don't they have something to do with Sam and Dean ? What about the Super-powered kids that drank demon blood , what does that lead ?)


Granted. They would have to change the "We let the evil come into US rather than proactively research things and search for it somewhere else than our own neighborhood , school , town. " but since they won't be living in Sunnydale any more , i guess that they would adapt. (They would also not patrol at nights , rather researching about and searching things to hunt , would be the way to go.)


I think it's reasonable to expect them to adapt and change their methods.

To be fair when living in Sunnydale trouble finds you, so no need to hunt really.

All the same, it's just not their methodology. She goes on patrol and finds stuff in front of her face, and generally they read local reports. I can't really picture them expanding at that point in time to the basically no outside life, near lifeless existance of the hunters, a group of functional vagabonds drifting from one place to the next, pursuing half formed rumours out of constant attention to snippet mentions of /something/ that might pan out to be /something/.

Hunters have no lives, overall. They are either hunting something, or finding something to hunt.

Not.. really.

Even Sam and Dean haven't really bumped into /that/ many hunters, relatively speaking, and they wander the entire USA. Dean having been a hunter for years and years. They get by a lot on knowing people their dad knew, or knowing people who know people, or knowing Bobby and Ellen, who know everyone.

Sure, and how do they suss out what's going on? They don't have a front row seat to these events, and attempting divination magic on beings that turn out to be angels is a good way to get one's eyes blasted out of one's sockets.

The way i see it.

If Buffycrew want to continue hunting and killing supernaturals then they will have to become more like Hunters and Sam and Dean.

Else they would have to live completly normal lifes. In the Supernatural verse is just not possible without researching to bump into so many supernaturals into your environment or finding supernaturals just by looking at local news reports.

So until things get really serious , there are just two two choices. One black the other white , so to speak.

Sure, and how do they suss out what's going on? They don't have a front row seat to these events, and attempting divination magic on beings that turn out to be angels is a good way to get one's eyes blasted out of one's sockets.

By attempting to get involved. As i said , they need someone to start talking , and most likely finding the brothers is the best they can hope for.

When the Apocalypse starts their chances of doing so increases , (while their chances of surviving if they do , decreases.)

If they visit the places that the worst things are happening they would bump into the brothers eventually.

They would not be willing to do that, is the thing. The majority of them at the point in time you have plucked them from, are really /really/ keen on being able to live at least something of a normal life.

They like to have lives and struggle to maintain them in the face of their other work, even with the looming pressure of something like a hellmouth. Here, where there would not even seem to be such a blatant threat hanging over their heads, there would be even less motivation.

You may be right. The fact that evil found them at sunnydale , at their neighberhood and at their school was a factor.

So what , they do nothing ? Live completely "normal lives" ?

What about Buffy herself ? Being a slayer and all , maybe she feels a deeper sense of duty. How much could she keep up with this ?

If the opportunity rises
for willow and Giles i see those two researching things. Willow started her Magics from a "low base" , she may learn magics of the supernatural universe as well .

As for Giles , he can also attempt to research things , though he would have to start from scratch while at the show he never had to do so. Rather he used his accumulated over the years knowledge in the Buffyverse so it won't be easy .

I just see Buffy-crew possible "living a completly normal lives in the supernatural " phase , as a temporary one.

For the reasons i provided (things at one point will get really ugly) and because of who the buffy-crew are. Especially Buffy which is a Slayer and all. (the package comes with the duty of killing evil supernaturals) And then their is Giles the watcher....

They may take the easy way out at first , but even if that happens it would be temporary.

[Pendaran]

Being a slayer and all , maybe she feels a deeper sense of duty.

Buffy still ached to live a normal life around then. There'd be seeming little to prevent her from doing so now. It would almost be like holiday. Even vampires basically hid like fuck from the world after a hunter pogrom nearly wiped them all out entirely, such that there was a long stretch where hunters assumed there were no more vampires.

There'd be no huge reason why they wouldn't, relatively speaking outside of such as they might do wherever it is they might live.

The world only starts getting visibly messed up to notice around the apocalypse.

[Surtur]

Buffy's chances of bumping into something she just can't take out is much higher than bumping into other hunters. Heck even shapeshifters which are relatively low on the power scale still have super strength and enhanced speed, and can only be killed silver bullets..and can also shapeshift into things like werewolves and stuff.

Sam and Dean carry around a variety of stuff on them to fit almost any situation they might come across, and this is all stuff they learned from their Dad. Buffy won't be so lucky. Hell she just might end up possessed.

I don't know, I think it depends on the Hunter. Some, like Sam and Dean (and dad) seem like jacks of all trades through constant travels, some, like Gordon seem to have specialties they pursue and we have seen some hunters who appear to have settled down and, from the looks of things, would only be dealing with problems that pop up in their vicinity (although I guess they might also have been retired).

Of course the guys in the last category always seemed to get ganked when they showed up - which seems to prove that to be a good hunter you need to always be hunter and learning.

Yes, most everything in Supernatural verse can only be killed via special means, or banished. It isn't really a place that rewards just running into things and then getting into fisty cuffs with it.

I guess if Buffy and co. can adapt to having to plan in order to defeat opponents, and they get some basic knowledge quick enough to know some useful weakness to use against things like ghosts (salt, iron etc) they could survive as hunters.

They would not be willing to do that, is the thing. The majority of them at the point in time you have plucked them from, are really /really/ keen on being able to live at least something of a normal life.

True, the best hunters seem to be the ones who have taken it on as a full time career and lifestyle - which is necessary if they want to deal with the huge variety of things they could face.

They'd have to know to be looking though, since Sam and Dean don't usually advertise their presence (I could more see Buffy and gang running into those guys from Ghost Chasers or whatever it was called).

We've really only seen that they technically happen to have homes somewhere. Most of the non older, active hunters encountered are moving around, really the main sedentary ones are Rufus, who was functionally retired until the apocalypse and Ellen, who ran the roadhouse. Even Bobby moved around a fair bit despite having a central base of operations. And he himself was an older, semiretired type.
