X-File Sunnydale By Dave Mycock

Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy the vampire slayer or the x files or any characters from them, they belong respectively to Joss Whedon and Chris Carter and the wonderful people at Fox. Subject: Xander/Willow, Mulder/Scully Summary: Alexander Harris left Sunnydale five years ago due a bust up with Willow, Buffy and the rest of the gang after he was caught with Willow. He heads to Washington and decides to join the FBI, after extensive training and two years working as a profiler he is assigned to a case along side Agents Mulder and Scully of the x files. Due to his excellent performance and helping to save Scully's life Mulder has him assigned to the X files. After three years of helping Mulder, Scully and their boss Skinner take on the consortium a large rise of murders in Sunnydale forces Xander to return to face the past he ran from.

Xander walked into the magic box hand in hand with Willow. Tara and Giles entered soon after. Everyone noticed how happy the two looked. Joyce smiled maternally glad to know Willow's pain was finally over. Buffy too looked happy for her friend, she had decided to put the past behind her and would not get in the way of them been together.
Only Oz looked on in disgust, he hated to acknowledge that he had lost Willow to Xander Harris. Unnoticed by the others he turned and exited the shop through the back door.
Xander nodded at Mulder, he noted both Scully and Mulder looked somewhat uneasy with each other and he wondered what had happened. Krychek seemed his usual self whilst Monica and Doggett seemed tired. He guessed they had stayed up during the night talking about what they had seen during the patrol.
"So now what's the plan Giles?" Buffy asked as everyone sat down
"We check out the butchers shop as we discussed last night, but after what happened I suggest none of us walk or patrol Sunnydale alone. That includes you and your friends Xander" Giles answered still a little stiff from been used a pillow by his two friends
"I agree, those things were really strong" Mulder spoke up "They were definitely under the control of the black oil, that makes them even more dangerous than they usually are" he added
"How so?" Riley asked
"In the past those infected have sometimes transferred the oil to others" Scully answered "If any of us got corned it would be possible for the creature or human to transfer the oil to us" she continued
"How?" Giles asked disliking this black oil more and more
"The oil takes a host by entering the skin and moving up into the eyes and nose of the victim, when it transfer the oil just seeps out of the eyes and nose onto it's new victim and from there it enters their eyes and nose taking control of them" Mulder explained

"That's horrible, that's worse than half the things we've seen on the hellmouth" Tara exclaimed
"Have any of you been taken by the black oil before?" Buffy asked suddenly worried any of them including Xander could be under it's influence
"Only me and Krychek, I was infected when I was in Tunguska trying to find answers to a case we were on. Krychek was infected during another case," Mulder answered, "It affected us both badly."
"Giles how do we know they're not still under it's control?" Buffy asked now more concerned about the issue's of trust
"They aren't, the black oil that took over Krychek left his body after it had used him to find its spacecraft. As for Mulder he was only infected for a test on a vaccine the Russian consortium was working on," Scully explained to them
"Russian consortium?" Riley asked
"The syndicate we are dealing with is only the American base of operations, it expanded to most other country's including Russia and England" Mulder told them

Oz continued to walk down the street away from the magic shop, his anger at Xander growing as he thought of him holding Willow's hand and kissing her. He was so deep in thought he didn't notice the black car come up behind him or two men in black trench coats get out and begin following him.
As he turned into an alleyway which led to the motel he was staying at the two men ran forward and grabbed him. One of them placed a cloth over his mouth; Oz struggled for a few minutes before he passed out.
"Get the car now" the taller of the two ordered.

"Where did Oz go?" Riley finally noticed the werewolf had vanished
"I guess he must of left after seeing me and Xander come in holding hands" Willow said with a shake of her head
"We have to find him quick, before the syndicate does." Buffy said quickly standing up "He doesn't know how dangerous the black oil is. They could kill or infect him."
"We'll split up into three groups that way we can cover more ground," Giles suggested

Oz woke slowly to the dull aching in his head, what happened. He remembered heading back to his hotel, hoping to get away from Willow and Xander. Then someone had jumped him, then nothing.
"So you're awake Mr. Osborne" a cold voice spoke to his left
"What do you want with me?" Oz asked feeling fear and anger begin to build in him
"We want to use you to destroy your friends" the voice replied "We're going to infect you with the black oil and then you're going to kill everyone of your friends starting with Mulder and his group and then you can take the others" the voice continued
"No" Oz shouted and began trying to free himself
"You can't escape Mr. Osborne... do it" the voice told him
A sound came from above Oz, he looked up to see pipe centered right over his head. It sounded like something was moving through it, his struggling increased as a black substance suddenly came flowing through the pipe and landed on his face. He began to scream as he felt the substance begin to move, he continued to scream until the black oil had done its work. His eyes were covered with a black screen.
"Remember the plan, make it look like you are just trying to capture him, they mustn't suspect he's infected" the voice spoke again
"No problem sir, they're already searching for him" a second voice spoke up
"Good, now go and don't make any mistakes," the first voice ordered

Xander walked down one of the streets of Sunnydale along side Willow, Giles, Buffy and Joyce. It was like he had never left.
"Over there" Buffy suddenly cried
They all looked to see Oz being attacked by two men in trench coats, he seemed to be weakening fast.
Buffy ran across the street followed closely by Xander and Giles, the two men didn't see them coming until Buffy knocked the taller of the two out cold. The second turned only for Giles to knee him in the stomach and then Xander elbowed him in the head, knocking him out too.
"Oz, are you ok?" Buffy asked
"Yeah, they came out of nowhere" Oz replied
"Let's get back to the magic box" Giles said
