Wesen Xander
Prologue
Alexander LaValle Harris knew this would have to come out eventually, not looking foreward to it. Especially since Buffy was the Slayer, and this could be considered a slayable offense. The fact they were friends was why he was given a chance to explain. This didn't stop the death glares from Willow and Buffy, or the lesser dirty look of Giles.
"Okay. I'm a Wesen. Means I'm human like eighty, ninety percent of the time. The other part of the time, I'm... something else. Um.. Okay, you know about Wilhem and Jacob Grimm?" started the young black haired boy as he tried to bring them up to speed.
"The brothers Grimm, writers and collectors of Fairy Tales. The Council believed it was formed from details of demon hunting which were heavily fictionalized. Warnings for children against the darkness." answered Giles, as he began to get an interest even with his anger at what was hidden from them. Which could have put them and Buffy especially in danger.
"While Willie and Jakey were not Grimms, they had access to Grimm Journals which they used to make those stories. Which are truer then you think..." continued the young teen in trouble, but he was interupted by Buffy.
"I though you said they were Grimms and now they aren't? Which is it?"
"Grimm is a last name, it's a german word for anger... it is also the name for a bloodline of superhumans. They are to Wesen what Slayers are to demons and vamps. God knows how many times I heard, "Be good Xander, or the Grimm will come and cut off your head." Not even the worse stories of the Grimms. Most range from killing just the bad wesen to killing all wesen quickly and cleanly to.. not killing quickly or cleanly." He could feel the involuntary woging of his body. Which made him smirk.
"Xander? What's so funny with... bad stuff?" Willow was worried and Buffy had lessen her glare a little.
"I just woge, changed by body."
"Xander? I didn't see anything. You guys?" The other two nodded and agreed with Buffy.
"And that is why Grimms are so dangerous to us, cause if one of you were one you would have seen it. Hate to say it... It's like a Vamp's game face, but with three forms rather then one. A human face, our game face where most of our powers come into play, and a partial game face. Everyone can see the full game face, but only select people can see the partial. Other wesen, certain demons... and Grimms.
As I said, Grimms are like Slayers. Similar physical powers, mastery of fighting as instincts. But where there is one Slayer, who is a female with precognition visions... A Grimm is a bloodline, where there are multiple people around the world, who have great observation and artist skills.
Now Wesen... most of us want to live normal and healthy lives. There are elements who have to due to biology, due to instinct or due to desire prey on humans and other wesen. Even those with those problems have resisted the call. Also wesen tend to have powers in their woge forms. Usually physical powers like speed or strength, but there are exotic stuff. The difference is most is science based, even if it's pseudoscience. Even our witches, Hexenbiests, use weird potions which alter body chemistry to a degree beyond normal science.
Basically, I'm the same Xander... just with a little extra." finished Xander, as he hoped they got the entry level knowledge of his wesen people. His friends were digesting the information, question brewing in their minds. A judgement being weighed on what he had been hidden from them and where they would be going forward.
"You should have told us earlier. I don't know about the others, but I'll forgive you... after I make you suffer for keeping secrets. Do you want to help with the suffering and forgiveness Willow?" asked Buffy as she looked to her friend and Xander's oldest friends.
"Yes, a whole lot of suffering for the poopyhead. Especially since he had a lot longer to tell me, warn me, about this... Alexander LaValle Harris."
"I'm more willing to forgive... if you could explain more on this. For example, how many wesen are there?" asked the english librarian, getting into watcher mode.
"Not sure, but a lot. Heck of a lot of famous peope were wesen. Including some of the presidents. Or famous people and world leaders. There isn't a lot on us. Other then wesen books on ourselves like medical books and Grimm Journals, which the Grimms record everything they know about wesen. So they can kill us. I might be able to get you some, as long as the council doesn't want to disect me or something."
"Okay.. More on that later, but now we want to see it. We didn't get a great view the first time, we want to see whatever it is you're when you're not so much... Xander shaped." asked Buffy as she wanted to see his other side. The others did too.
"Okay... I'm a.." he started, as he fully woged into his wesen form, which was...
Author's Notes:
This is a quick prologue for the Xander section of these stories. Where one or more of the Scoobies are a wesen. In this case, just Xander. However, this might change. One idea was the question on what would happen if Buffy became a Grimm while a Slayer. Or inverse, Faith could be a Grimm who becomes a Slayer.
As a prologue, I have left it open to suggestion on what kind of Wesen Xander should be. Which you should be able to find on the show, on the Grimm Wikia or on Wikipedia. I may or may not take those suggestions but I am open to them. But Xander will relatively remain the same. As even with Wesen, there are exceptions.
Also interesting to listen to other suggestions for different Scooby Wesens. Like what Wesen Slayers might be like. Also note, Wesen and Grimm powers seem to leave on death. So Vampire versions of them would be rare without magic. And what Master Vamp would spend effort to make a superpowered fletchling? That needs to be answered.
Truth is I added that based on the fact Wesen revert to human at death and to explain why Buffy has not been fighting supervamps every night. Not sure if Grimm powers leave at death, just base it on Wesen. However, another option is the powers of Grimms and Wesen do not take well to the blood demon, which is why they don't have their powers in life as undead... normally.
Also Buffy was mostly dead in season one and magically resurrected later, which might be exceptions. Depends on which of each powers consider dead. Heart arrest or brain death?
Just tried to avoid to many problems at the start... so they could be saved for later.
Thanks and I would like to listen to what you have to say.
