NOTES: Thanks for all the reviews.
ALLYCAT23: for your Chapter 2 review that was just for some who got the X-men confused. Your Chapter 3 review: Here the next part hope it was fast enough for you.
SA'OI & ALWAYSANANGELGURL: I don't know whom I'm going to pair Buffy with. Most likely there won't be a pairing this fic but as good as the reviews a sequel will definitely happen with a pairing. After all Buffy is only 17 right now. She'd be jailbait for Logan.
JILL: Here is your fight scene.
ALEXANDER: Glad you like my fic. I wanted to ask about your review and hopefully clear the vampire part up.
Which part in the kitchen did Buffy reveal about vampires? Nowhere in the kitchen did she mention vampires. Vampires only got mention when she was talking to Scott in the bedroom. At this point no one but Scott knows she the Slayer.
LET ME SAY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED MY STORY SO FAR. I AM LIVING FOR THE REVIEWS.
Now for the story.
A week later Buffy and Jubilee were lounging about by the pool listening to some music. Both were in bathing suits trying to work on their tan. It had finally started feeling like a summer day should. Buffy enjoyed the fact that she could just sit and enjoy the feeling of the warm sun. Most of the X-men had been called away on a mission but Xavier thought they should stay behind with him. Besides the three of them there was also Remy, who hadn't been at home when the X-men left. He had been too far away and they had needed to leave quickly. Buffy's spider senses began to tingle. That was when they both heard the sound of an explosion coming from the front of the house. At the same time Professor Xavier had called to them.
Jubilee! Buffy! The school is under attack.
He sent them both a mental picture. They saw pictures of Remy fighting out front and of the Professor holding off two mutants with the house defenses.
"You go help the professor and I'll help Remy out front."
Jubilee nodded and ran into the house. Quickly Buffy slipped on her shoes and threw her shirt on over her head before running toward the house. She used her slayer strength to jump up on the roof. Going across the roof she hoped to take their enemies by surprise. She saw Remy keeping a dark hairy mutant at bay with his cards. She wandered if he had noticed the other mutant that was coming up from behind him. Buffy leapt off the roof feet first knocking the giant mutant down.
"Let's keep this a fair fight." She said looking over at Remy.
"Thanks Chere."
Remy had known that Sabertooth was there. He knew someone else was near but didn't know whom. He tried using his charm power to distract Sabertooth until help could arrive. Buffy stood in fighting stance as Sabertooth got up growling. He was baring his teeth and his posture was resilient. To many he would look scary and threatening, but not to Buffy. She had seen worse since she had become the slayer. He growled at her.
"You think you can take me little girl."
"I've taken on worse than you fuzz ball."
He growled louder at being made fun of and made to attack. Buffy ducked under his attack and hit him twice. She was standing near a tree when he took a swipe at her with his claws. He missed scratching the bark on the tree. Gambit was now using his staff on Hairbag. He heard Buffy-teasing Sabertooth.
"Is that your face or are you minding it for a monkey? That the best you got fuzz ball? I'm not even working up a sweat."
The two began to fight once again. Sabertooth charged at her and she vaulted over him and delivered a kick to his backside. He was furious that this pipsqueak of a girl was actually holding her own with him. He tried to sweep her feet from under her. She jumped avoiding his legs, but wasn't quick enough to avoid his claws as they followed up. She felt the claws dig into her flesh. Biting her lip not to let out a scream she look for something to use as a weapon. Using the majority of her strength she kicked him sending him flying across the yard. She looked down at her wound, which was bleeding freely. Breaking off a branch from a nearby tree she began twirling it.
"You're going to pay for that scratch fuzz ball."
Gambit was now trying to hold back both Hairbag and Sabertooth. He was trying to protect Buffy who now lay extremely dazed with a wound to her forehead. Buffy had hit Sabertooth several times with the branch before he had gotten a shot in that sent her flying to the wall. Gambit was almost out of cards to charge, but he stood firm. None of them had noticed the sky turning dark until a lightning bolt struck next to the two mutants. Sabertooth and Hairbag jumped back. Another bolt struck near them. The sound of Wolverine's claws could be heard behind them. He and Rogue were standing behind Sabertooth. A bright light flashed blinding the X-men. When they could see again Sabertooth and Hairbag were gone. Wolverine sniffed the air.
"They're gone." He turned to look at Buffy. He became concern seeing the blood that decked her body. "You okay darlin'?"
"Ohhh! I will be once the little man that's doing the drum solo in my head stops."
"We'd better get ya to med lab."
"I'm alright." She said as she began to stand but got dizzy and hit the floor. "I'm just a little sore."
The sounds of footsteps were heard as Scott and Beast approached the group. The group turned toward them.
"Buffy you're hurt."
"It's nothing Scott. Gotta love my fast healing ability. My side has already started healing and will probably be gone by morning. As for my head, probably be healed day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Intriguing." Beast said taking a step closer to get a better look at Buffy's wounds. He lifted her shirt slightly to see that wound had indeed closed. "You took on Sabertooth and sustained barely a mark on you though I would like to take a closer look at your wounds in my lab."
Getting a look that clearly said that she was going whether she wanted to or not from Scott, Logan, and McCoy, she sighed.
"Let me get changed into something comfortable and I'll meet you down there." She knew that she would be explaining about her being the slayer before the exam was over.
Beast had looked over Buffy's wounds and determined they weren't serious. Her head wound was still bleeding but had slowed considerably. He had cleaned it and bandaged it. The slash marks left by Sabertooth were red but they had stopped bleeding and were only sore. Beast found that he was fascinated by Buffy's physiology. There was no sign that she's a mutant and yet he couldn't explain how she was healing so quickly. He was baffled.
"How is she Hank?" Scott asked his blue friend.
"She is in good health my friend. At the rate she is healing there will be no signs of her injuries in a few days."
"I know that you and almost all the others are wandering how this possible." Hank nodded his head in a way that said go on. "So instead of telling you all one by one I'd like to tell you all as a group. Scottie, can you get everyone together?"
"Buffy are you sure?"
"I'm sure. I was trying to run away from it before. But it's finally hit me that no matter where I go it's who I am." Scott nodded.
Ten minutes later Professor Xavier, Jean, Ororo, Rogue, Logan, Bobby, Jubilee, Beast, and Remy were sitting in the war room. Buffy and Scott entered a few minutes later.
"Buffy wanted to explain to all of you about who she is?" Scott said standing beside Buffy offering support.
"I know you all are wandering how I managed to fight fuzz ball-I mean, what did you call him again?" She asked Scott.
"Sabertooth."
"Yeah him, without any serious injuries. First of all, I'm not a mutant. I almost wish I were. Then I wouldn't feel like I got the weight of the world on my shoulders all of the time. I left my home thinking I could leave behind my destiny, but today I realized that It doesn't matter where I'm at I'm still the chosen one. You see in every generation there is a chosen one. She and she alone will fight the demons, the vampires, and the forces of darkness. I am Buffy the vampire slayer. My super hero strength, agility, and my fast healing ability all came to me when I was called."
"What do you mean called? Like on the telephone?" Jubilee asked.
"Not quite like that. When one slayer dies another one is chosen. I was only fifteen when I found out I was the new slayer. I've been dead once already. It was only for a few minutes but that was enough for another slayer to be activated."
They all sat there shocked at what they had just heard. Scott face was that of concerned. She had never told Scott about her run in with the Master.
"Buffy why didn't you tell me?"
"It's not something I like to be reminded of. I mean I was only sixteen at the time and my watcher tells me that there's a prophecy where I'm destined to die by fighting this
Master vampire."
"You said you died but how did you come back?" Logan asked.
"My friend Xander revived me. He gave me CPR after the Master had drowned me in a pool in his lair."
"Vampires? You're trying to tell us that vampires and other creatures of the night are real? I don't believe it." Bobby asked her.
"Believe it. I fought them every night for over two years with my friends and watcher.
Besides you're a six foot human Popsicle. If you can exist why can't they?" Buffy asked causing several of the others to laugh.
"You mentioned a watcher. What's a Watcher?" Rogue asked.
"A Watcher assists the slayer in training and mentoring her, and provides information on how to combat the many different forms of evil. Giles, my watcher, is so much more. He's always trying to find ways to keep me safe and he was willing to face the Master for me. He's given up so much for me and when it really counted I-"
Her emotions were coming too close to the surface. She turned away from them for a moment. Taking a deep breath she turned back around and continued.
"Scott and I have prepared a demonstration to help everyone understand who I am."
In the danger room control room the group waited for the demonstration to begin. They looked down at the sole figure, which had changed into her sweat pant and spaghetti string top and armed with a pointy wooden stake.
"Start whenever you're ready Scott and make sure the safeties are off. It has to feel real."
The simulation had begun as the danger room changed to the town of Sunnydale. She was in one of the local graveyards. Instantly she felt homesick for her friends. Pushing that deep inside of her she honed her slayer abilities on her target. A single vampire appeared; with nothing more than several kicks she staked it easily.
"Come on Scottie turn up the danger level. I can't show what I have with only one vamp and I really need to vent." No sooner had she spoken the words four vamps appeared ranging in different shapes and sizes. "Much better."
She started her fight with a roundhouse kick knocking all four vampires to the ground. As they got up she kicked off at one and punched another. The fourth one, a short skinny vampire, charged at her and she flipped him and quickly sent the stake through his heart. She looked and saw the other three coming after her at once. They were surrounding her. Going into a round of flips she vaulted over a tall chubby one and landed right behind him. With a quick thrust he was gone. Two down and two to go. One of the two remaining vamps was taller than Buffy by several feet and was bulkier. The other was a female, about Buffy's height and weight, and managed to kick the stake out of her hand and sent it flying. She fought the two vamps hand to hand. She needed to get to her stake or find another weapon. A metal trash can lid, that Scott must have added in for atmosphere, was on the ground. With Slayer strength she threw the lid at the female vampire's head as it sliced the head off. She was now a pile of dust. That only left one vamp and Buffy was already advancing on it. She threw several punches and kicks at the vamp. She continued hitting and kicking releasing her emotion that been building inside of her.
In the control room everyone except Scott, Remy, and Logan were shocked at what power Buffy had. They watched as she fought the vampires that could be just as deadly as the real one with the safeties off. They shouldn't have been too shocked since she had held her own with Sabertooth.
"Remind me never to make her mad." Bobby said as he watched Buffy pummel the last vampire.
They continued to watch until the vampire was a bloody mess and she finally brought the stake home. The simulation ended. Buffy sat on the floor catching her breath before joining the others in the hall. Once they were done talking she headed to her room to shower and change. After her shower she headed to the recreation room to watch TV. The room was empty so she sat on one end of the couch and began flipping through the channels. She had finally found an old Bogart film and settled in to watch it. Twenty minutes into the movie Jean who was walking by and saw what she was watching joined her.
"This is one of my favorites. Mind if I join you?"
"Have a seat you haven't missed much."
Jean took a seat in the Lazy Boy recliner. That's how Scott found them a couple of hours later. Both women were crying their eyes out over the ending. At first he was concerned when he heard them crying but he heard Buffy speak.
"That movie always makes me cry. I've probably seen it fifty times and cried each time."
"I know what you mean."
Jean said wiping the tears from her eyes. She looked up to see Scott. A smile came upon her face.
"My two favorite ladies. I was wandering where you two disappeared too. Dinner's ready. We better get to the table before Beast and Logan eat it all." Jean got up to join Scott.
"You two go ahead. I'm not hungry."
"You okay Buffy? Is your head bothering you?"
"I'm fine Scott, head and all. I'm just not hungry right now." Scott looked at her with concerned.
"Alright Buffy. I'll save a plate for you in case you change your mind."
"Thanks." She really wasn't hungry, her head did ache a little and if anything she was tired. She settled in to watch another movie.
