Change

Disclaimer: I only came up with the plot, I don´t own the characters and I only write for fun

For four years he had been fighting vampires, demons and other creatures that decided to either hunt and kill humans or those that just wanted to destroy the world. Yes the hell mouth is a dangerous place to live and Xander had first hand knowledge of all those thing and more. He sat on his bed his hand shaking from the adrenalin and shock from the latest battle this it had been the mayor how had been the monster and a large number of vampires but in the end Buffy had manged to lure mayor Wilkins who had turned in to a giant snake demon ("Olvikan") in to the school which Xander and the other had rigged with massive explosive that he had mixed up himself with one of the memories from the solider he had turned in to during one Halloween and some help from chemistry book that had finally been used for something good other then prop up his disk so it would not wiggle. Xander looked in the mirror and his face was covered in sot, ash and blood from the fight. He slowly peeled of his graduation gown and kept going until he was standing naked and walked in to the shower turning it on.

Half and hour later a some what fresh Xander sat on his bed looking out the window at the setting sun, it had been a long day and he was mentally and physically wiped out. He slowly curled up under the covers as tears ran down his cheeks as he cried himself to sleep.

Xander felt the sun on his face streaming through the window, it felt nice and warm and he did not want to move but his bladder had other ideas. He groaned as the aces made them self known as he made his way to the bathroom after he had emptied his bladder he looked in the bathroom mirror and saw his purple/blue/black swollen face. It was not the first time he had come home bruised or cut from his time fighting the creatures of the underworld. First he was normal, no superpowers like Buffy has or magic like Giles and Willow had either even tho Willow had ways to go in the magical realm before she could help out with the slaying she was very smart a genius to be exact and given her computer skills she was a very helpful asset to the team.
Xander splashed some water on his face, what did he help with? what did he contribute to the group? The only things he did was go out for doughnut runs when the group was researching some kind of new daemon or a new threat. Other wise he was pretty useless, oh he had help now and then but they were few and far between when he could help out Buffy, he didn´t have any skills and those he had gotten from his time as a soldier had faded after a while when he tried to put it out of his mind because those nightmares he had had during first few weeks were horrible. He really needed to do something, be proactive in the fight because as he was now he would not last very long eventually his luck would run out and that was it was he had been lucky so far escaping without losing his life he needed to do something, become someone that could help Buffy, Willow and Giles in the fight against evil.

Xander walked out of the house after dressing him self he flipped up the hood on his shirt to cover up so not to freak out anybody at the sight of his bruised face. It took him awhile to get their, he stopped outside the wall and looked for a place to climb over. He soon found a tree that made it easier to scale the wall. Xander grunted in pain when he landed on the other side of the wall with a thump. He looked around it was a nice place, he figured that it probably had some sort of protection considering that this was the mayors mansion but since he would not be needing it any more so hopefully the more powerful protections would have run out. It didn´t take long for Xander to make his way to the main building, he opened the glass doors and went inside.

Clean was the first thought that ran through Xanders mind, plastic on the chairs, sofas and what not and the floor gleamed as it had been polished to a shine.

"Oh man this is such a bad idea!" Xander told himself as he made his way in the mansion. After some rummaging he found Wilkins office, it looked very ordinary nothing out of place everything in it´s specific order and it was creeping Xander out. `Who would want to live like this it was just to clean` Xander thought.

It took him an hour and twenty minutes before he found a liver that opened up the bookcase. He pushed opened the bookcase and walked down the small hallway when he her a click, he dove down the hallway as he heard something behind him and felt a wind draft as he rolled on the floor out of the hallway in to the hidden room. He winched as his muscles protested from his sudden movement, Xander turned around still half laying on the floor he saw to massive blades where he had just been they had divided up the hallway in four half. He shuddered as he looked down seeing that his pants had been cut open.

Xander got up from the floor and leaned on the wall gripping his side where he had bruised his ribs the day before, he started to feel around the wall for a light switch and found pretty fast. The room light up and there were a lot of books here and a big desk, Xander cooked his head trying to make sense of some of the things on the shelves. There was one box that he had seen before that had those creepy crawlers in them, Xander shuddered at the thought of those memories. He decided to it was time for him to make a difference.

Xander hadn´t been in Sunnydale for four month, since he decided that he didn´t want to go to collage he had left taking a road trip through America or that is what he had told his friends but in reality he had started to train and study to be able be someone that his friends could count on. It hadn´t been easy and he had wanted to quit thousand up on thousands of times during his time training and it was all thanks to the former mayor Wilkins who had aided him in his quest to be able help his friends with artifacts and money and Wilkins had a lot of it, one can´t live a hundred years planing to become a giant snake demon without having funds to buy all that was necessary to complete the metamorphism. Xander knew how most of Wilkins had done during his time in office and it hadn´t been all bad but he had been crazy and he just go so mad when he started to think what the mayor had done to Faith, how he had manipulated a young troubled girl in to do his bidding.

*Pyssh*

Coke squired up in his face, he had forgotten his own strength. The coke can was crushed and he was drenched in Coke Cola, Xander wiped his face with his T-shirt to get the coke out of his eyes. He still needed more training, four years in another dimension hadn´t been enough but he could not risk be away for longer and four years training every day it was good to take a few days of to rest up and see his friends. Xander opened up the door to his new place it was all ready furnished and ready and had been for the last month he had been told. He dropped his bag and took a look around it looked different then he remembered, a lot warmer and homier then when Angel had lived here. He stared at the spot where Buffy had killed Angel in order to stop Acathla from swallowing the hole world. Xander shook it of and took a look in the fridge which was empty so he needed to get buy some food and maybe swing by the hospital to see if Faith was still in a coma from her battle with Buffy.

Her brown hair framed her pale face as she lay in the hospital bed.

Bip Bip Bip Bip

The machine next to the bed kept making that noise, Xander caressed her face. She was even more beautiful then he remembered, Faith the girl that had been treated like shit all her life by everybody until the mayor came along and she latch on to him like a scared little girl. It wasn´t her fault that he was bad and made her do bad stuff, well not entirely anyway. She had trusted the wrong person ended up paying for it big time. Xander took out a vile from his coat pocket and poured it down Faith throat then he sat down and waited. It took over an hour before Faith started to move, first her eyes started to flutter then her hands and legs started to move and then suddenly she bolted straight up gasping for air. Xander didn´t move he sat back in his chair and waited for Faith to take in her surroundings before he spoke.

"Hey their sleeping beauty! Finally decided to join the land of the living!" Faith head snapped around and focused on me like a hawk fixating on a small mouse. Xander gave her big smile.

"X where am I?" She asked still confused where she was. No wonder she was tucked away in a hospital where nobody wanted her.

"Well seeing that you have been in a come for about four month I would say your in a hospital Faith" She looked around taking in what she saw, he could see that her memory's started to return.

"Starting to remembered what happened?" He asked her still not making any move to get out of the chair he was sitting in.

"What do you care!" She said trying to be tough.

"I like you Faith you know that. Have since I first saw you but I guess I really started to like you after we had sex but that was covered up by fear since you tried to kill me" Xander said calmly. He could see how she was trying to figure out what to do and get out of here as fast as possible.

"You should probably know that the mayor died four month ago after he became that giant snake demon!" Faith winced when she heard that.

"He was not a very nice man. No not a very nice man at all am glad he is dead!" He could see that her temper started to flair up.

"What? You thought that he could beat us? The scoobys! He was just a weak pathetic old has been trying to become something bigger than he felt. I think he was picked on a lot when he was a child that´s why he wanted to become strong and powerful!"

"SHOUT UP XANDER BEFORE I KILL YOU" She yelled almost screamed it. Xander shook his head and smiled at her.

"A lot has changed Faith. I very mush doubt that you could take me in the condition your in. It will take a week before you are fully healed!" She snickered.

"You think you can take me! You, you are nothing a weak pathetic boy that can´t do shit" Before she could react Xander had her pinned down on the bed.

"Yeah maybe but your weaker and even more pathetic then I! You can´t even defend yourself right now. A new born vamp can take you without any problems and you should be tanking me if I hadn´t given you that healing potion you would be stuck in a come for god knows how long before you slayer healing ability's kicked in and fixed you" She tried to get him of her but she was to weak.

"What do you want!" She spat.

"Well first of I am going take you home to my knew place so you can start getting stronger and that way I don´t have to worry about you getting in to some trouble. Then after that well hopefully you wouldn´t mind hanging around a bit since we have to clear up that murder charge that has been placed on you in your absence" Faith tried to be brave but it was all to much everything she had been through and been told it was to much, tears ran down her face as she cried, Xander held her to his chest hearing her sob in to his chest.

When Faith had calmed down a bit he asked her if she wanted to come home with him and he could feel her nod against his chest. He carried her out to his car and they drove back to Xanders new home in Sunnydale.

A/N

So here it is my first chapter don´t know if this will be the only chapter. That will depend on my mood so well see if there will be another chapter.

Changed Xander a bit he has been training in an other dimension for four month earth time but in this other dimension it was closer to four years. Who is dis possible? You ask well Mayor Richard Wilkins III had a lot of contacts and since Xander raided a chunk of his belongings and cash he had the means and founds to do that. So how did you guys like Faith?

Well review!
