REVIEWS

CLADDAGH: Glad that you can picture Hugh Jackman in this. I keep seeing cartoon Logan when I write it. Thanks for the review.

PAY_DAY1999, BTVSFAN, LUIS, STARLIGHT, CHILLI BB, POLGARA-5, RAIN DANCER, KRISMARIEF, and JOHN: Thank you for the reviews they mean a lot.

CATLIMERE: Glad you are enjoying the story. Your suggestion has been noted though I had already thought about that. We'll just have to see what happens.

WOLFHEART: I'm glad you like her power like that. I debated on just giving her one that totally didn't relate with her family but I thought this one would be more fun. I'd like to write a confrontation with Spike and hope either this story or the sequel.

SELENE: You were number 100. Hope you like how I explain the mutations.

S.M.: I already have another villain in mind for her to go up against but that probably won't happen till my next story.

ALLYCAT23: I'm done hurting Buffy at least seriously in this story. No promises for the next.

CRIKET: You'll just have to read on to find out whether she goes home or not.

Thanks everyone for your reviews they help keep me writing.

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW

The following afternoon after Hank had ran all his tests and Buffy was sitting outside taking in some sun by the pool.

"Mind if I join you?"

"Have a seat Uncle Chris."

"How are you doing?"

"Not bad considering everything I've been through the last two months. Did Scott tell you why I was here?"

"No. He told me that if you wanted to tell me you would. I'll listen if you want to tell your tale to me."

Buffy nodded and told her uncle everything that happened. By the end of her story she was crying heavily on his shoulder while his arms were wrapped around her.

"It's all right Buffy. You need to let this go. If you don't, it's going to eat you up. No one is perfect Buffy. We've all done things that we regret and wish we could change. No matter what you do Buffy your family and friends will always love you. What are you going to do about your mother?"

"I don't. When I left she just found out I'm the slayer and now there's a possibility I might be a mutant too. She's going to blow her stack again. Maybe I'll just stay here. I don't know."

"What does your father have to say?"

"I wouldn't know. Your brother has been off in Spain getting on with his secretary. I hear from you more than I do him and you're mostly in space."

Corsair just shook his head. His brother always had been an idiot. He never knew when he had a good thing.

"Do you think it would help if Scott, Alex, and I talk to her?"

"I don't know. She may get pissed at you when you tell her I spent the summer here and you guys didn't tell her. Hey maybe that will take some of the pressure off of me." She said with a grin. "Thanks Uncle Chris. I feel better. I think I'm finally ready to move on."

"You're welcome Buffy. Just remember that your mom is only human. She makes mistakes just like everyone else. Come Hank should have those results ready soon."

Buffy knew that she would cry no more tears over what happened. Corsair was more of a father to her than own dad. He always knew how to get things through to Buffy.

Inside the Med lab Buffy, Giles, Corsair, Alex, and Scott were listening as Hank explained the results of the test.

"Rupert and I have been talking and we've come to the conclusion that the magic that makes Buffy the Slayer was concealing her mutants genes."

"So why are her powers showing now?" Corsair asked.

"My test results have shown that the nano device of Sinister's somehow freed those genes. The device also planted a specific DNA pattern that gives Buffy a combination of both Scott's and Alex's power. With her powers being so new to her, her body needs to learn how to adjust to the energy when she is asleep. With some help you will be a very powerful mutant."

"Wow."

Buffy said sitting a bit stunned. She was quite certain she was a mutant but having it confirmed and the way it happened too her had her stunned.

"Buffy? Are you alright?" Corsair asked.

"Yeah, I just need to think. If we're done I'm gone."

Buffy didn't wait for a response. She left out of the lab in a daze. She had so many emotions running through her. She was excited, terrified, angry, aggravated, and confused. She made her way to the danger room. It was empty and she was glad to have a chance to work off energy.

"Computer run Slayer training program. Buffy alpha."

The room lit up to one of Sunnydale's cemeteries. Buffy didn't have a stake on her but she would improvise. Right she just wanted to cause them some serious pain. She walked through the cemetery and was met right off by two vamps. The first two were a tall blonde male and a tall dark haired female.

"Who wants to be first? Don't be shy?"

Both vampires launched at her together. Buffy charged at them hitting one and kicking the other. The fight was on.

Remy had been watching her fight for ten minutes in the control room above. The counter on the panel told him that she had been at it for two hours. She was using the branch of a tree as a stake. He also saw her use her powers, but didn't really think she noticed. She was getting tired and he could tell. He left the control room went to the danger room doors.

"Computer, end program!"

Gambit called out. Buffy looked up to see who was stopping her training. The program ended and Buffy dropped to the ground exhausted. She was breathing heavily, and her face was covered in sweat.

"How do you feel Chere?"

"Like I want to rip Sinister apart with my bare hands for messing around with my insides."

"Gambit can relate. Sinister messed with me too." Gambit said taking a seat by her on the floor.

"What did he do to you? That is if you don't mind telling me." She asked tiredly.

"You got at promise not at tell. The ot'ers they don't know about this."

"I promise."

"Back b'fore I became an X-Man I was havin` trouble controllin' my powers. I took down an old theater with my powers. Sinister found me among de wreckage and took me back to his lab where he took care of my wounds. Durin' that time he experimented with me. Prob'ly much as he did wit' you."

Gambit is a telepath and an empath. T'anks ta Siniter.

Buffy gasped at hearing Gambit's voice in her head. Gambit then showed her his empathic power by sending her a feeling of tenderness and happiness. The two feelings had overwhelmed her causing her anger to disappear.

"Feelin bettah Chere?"

"I do, thanks to you. You're a good man Remy Lebeau."

"Non, but Gambit is working on it. C'mon, Chere you'll need to a soak or you're gonna be sore tomorrow."

Gambit got up and offered her a hand. She took it and slowly stood up. Her body was already feeling stiff.

"Did ya even realize you used your power when you were fightin'?"

"I did?" Gambit nodded. He showed the scene he saw of her using her power. "Wow! I was so upset I didn't even realize. How long was I in here?"

"Two hours. Giles and da Summers clan was startin' to get a little worried. Gambit passin' by and heard the noise."

Buffy nodded and gave the Cajun a grateful smile as they left the Danger Room.

The month had passed quickly and Buffy had decided to go back to Sunnydale and face her friends and family. Giles had gone back two weeks earlier so that he could try to get her into school. Scott, Corsair, Alex, Remy and Logan had gone with them. Buffy said her goodbyes with a promise to call and write to everyone. Xavier reminded her that she would always have a place to stay with them. The blackbird landed cloaked in an abandoned field around eight that night. The Summers men were going to talk to Joyce and hopefully ease Joyce into Buffy being a mutant. She, Remy, and Logan were going to stop off at Giles until Scott called. Buffy gave Logan and Gambit a small tour. After showing them her patrol route, which included the bronze, and the high school she knocked on Giles's door. They waited as they heard him coming toward the door.

"Buffy? Welcome home." Giles moved too allow them entrance. "Have you seen your mother yet?"

"No Scott, Alex, and Uncle Chris went to break the news to her first. There suppose to call when they're ready for me. Any luck getting me back into school?"

Giles lowered his head not wanting to see her disappointed look when he told.

"I'm afraid not. It's that troll Snyder, I'm afraid. The school board said the choice was his."

"Damn him! Ever since he took over as principal he's been trying to get me out of there, and I handed it to him on a silver platter."

Wolverine gave a look toward Gambit and a secret message passed between them. Gambit gave a slight nod to let him know that he understood.

"We'll find some way to get you back in Buffy."

She nodded and helped Giles get snacks prepared for their wait.

The call had finally come and Buffy slowly made her way home. Logan and Remy walked with her to her house before saying they were going to return to Giles. They hadn't wanted her mother to have a complete breakdown. Buffy had a feeling something was going on between the two. She stepped up to the door nervously and knocked on it. Her mom opened the door looking worried and tired.

"I'm sorry Buffy. I regretted my words the moment I saw you walk out that door. I never meant what I said. I love you so much Buffy."

"I love you too." She went up and hugged her mother as tightly as she dared. "Let's move this conversation inside where we're less likely to be attacked by the evil undead."

Together Buffy and Joyce entered the house. They went into the living and sat next to each other on the couch.

"Where are Scottie, Alex, and Uncle Chris at?"

"They left two minutes before you arrived. They wanted to give us some time to talk."

Buffy and Joyce talked long into the night about everything. She told her about everything that had happened she became a slayer.

Principal Snyder was fast asleep in his bedroom. He was dreaming one of his favorite dreams. It was the one where he was kicking Buffy Summers out of school. He was at his favorite part when he was rudely awakened by a slap to the face. He could also feel something sharp touching his throat. Instantly he became alert and his eyes went wide with fright. All he could make out were the outlines of two figures and a pair of glowing red eyes.

"We're here to discuss Buffy Summers with you." Snyder heard a very deep voice growl at him.

"Who are you?" Snyder managed to ask.

"Your worst nightmare Mon Ami. Friends of Summers." The voice came from the glowing red eyes.

"It simple. You let Buffy Summers back into school and I don't make you any shorter than you already are. You stay clear of her and her friends! We'll be watching you. Give them any kind of trouble and you'll see just how sharp these really are. Understand?"

Wolverine spoke as menacing as he could. Snyder's body was shaking terribly. He dug his claws a little deeper drawing a little blood.

"Yes!" Snyder gasped out.

"First thing in the morning you will call the school board and tell them that you decided to let Buffy Summers return to school. You will apologize to her and to the entire school for being an ass."

"Whatever you want. Just don't hurt me."

Snyder cried out in fear. He heard something hit the ground by his bed as his room filled with smoke. When the smoke cleared the two men and any evidence that they were there was gone. Still trembling with fear Snyder sat up and turned the light on with a shaky hand. Looking down he realized he needed a bath and to changed the sheets.

NOTES: For the purpose of my fic Gambit is a telepath and Empath. Next part Buffy returns to school and the Scooby reunion.

This fic is in it's home stretch and best Buffy/Logan part is still to come.
