Greeting and Salutations. Welcome one and all, to the as promised sequel to Feral Discoveries. Thanks to everyone ho reviewed that one and a huge thanks, once again, to Manticore Gurl. Speaking of…

She emailed me today with another challenge. Ordinarily I would take it up, but it was a Buffy/Highlander one, using Amanda. My problem is that I know next to nothing about her. So, I'm doing MG a favor. Anyone interested should check her bio on FF.net. That has the details. Let her know your interested, then let me know so I can check it out. Thnks. Now on with the fic…

Weapon X

Location Unknown.

"Mr. Director, we have a situation." The Soldier said as he walked in. The Director of Project Weapon X turned to face him.

"What kind of problem?" The Director asked.

"Project: Rebirth, sir." He turned to face the other man. "I've had word from our colleagues in the GSA. The sisters have found each other."

"The GSA were supposed to keep them separate until we were ready to collect them." The Director said. "How did this happen?"

"Subject: Coyote made her way to Sunnydale." The soldier said. "She reunited with Subject: Wildcat. We don't know how much they know." The Director looked out the window. HIS daughters had found each other, and it was only a matter of time until they reunited with their father. Unless, of course, he did something about it.

"Assemble our operatives." He ordered. "Bring them in. Alive, if possible. If that's not possible…" He let the order hang. The soldier nodded. He knew what it meant.

"Yes sir."

Sanctuary.

"This place is amazing!" Buffy couldn't believe the turn her life had taken. A little over a year ago, she'd been an only child, and a perfectly normal one at that. All right, so a Vampire Slayer is pushing the 'perfectly normal' envelope a bit.

Now, however, she was a part of an underground movement formed to help people like her, not the Slayer like she'd thought, but a New Mutant, created through genetic manipulation with powers that set her a part from the norm, in her case, animal DNA mixed in with her own, giving her enhanced speed, strength and agility, as well as heightened senses. Angel, her soul mate, had been cured of his vampirism by the Powers That Be, and given abilities exactly like her own.

The biggest surprise, however, had been of the catalysts to this event. Shalimar, her twin sister, from whom she had been separated from birth, had arrived in Sunnydale in time to protect her from the GSA. It ended up in both of them, along with Buffy's friends, laying serious smack down on the agent in question.

"It's something special." Shalimar said, grinning at her sister's reaction to her new home. "You don't have to worry about the GSA, so it's a bonus."

"That's a bonus?" Buffy exclaimed. "This place is HUGE! What kind of training facilities do you guys have?" A grin spread across the former Slayers face, thinking of the sparring matches she, Shal and Angel could have through the halls.

"Adequate for three ferals." Adam said, coming towards them. "At least, I hope so. I don't think I can really expand on them."

"Good thing Xand gave us those contact numbers." Angel said with a grin.

"I don't think that's what he had in mind." Adam said.

"Probably not." Buffy muttered. "Any luck on…" Adam shook his head. In the year since she'd met Mutant X, Adam had been doing everything in his power to find the girls real parents, with no avail. Someone had gone to a great deal of trouble to cover their tracks.

"We'll find something." Shalimar said, placing her hand on Buffy's shoulder. "It'll just take a while."

"I know." Buffy said. "I just…" Angel placed an arm around her.

"We'll find them." He stated with certainty while adding in his mind, dead or alive.

Extreme X-Men HQ

Unknown Location.

"Hmm, interesting." Sage muttered.

"Whaddaya lookin' at, Tessa?" Sam asked, walking in.

"Xander asked if I could look into their little mystery and try to find a lead to their parents." Sage told him.

"Mystery?" Sam asked. "Ya mean Buffy an' Shalimar's missing parents?" Xander had filled them in on the situation concerning the New Mutants. Hard to believe that these man made mutants took the same name he and his friends had when they'd started out.

"Precisely." She removed the 'glasses' from her face. "So far, I haven't found any links."

"Links with what?" Bishop asked, walking in.

"Xander's mystery." Sam said. Bishop nodded as Sam turned back to Sage. "Is there anything you haven't tried yet?"

"I don't believe so."

"How about a DNA trace?" Bishop suggested. Sage looked up at the time lost X-Man.

"Lucas, I believe you just hit upon an idea." She said, replacing her high-tech eyewear. I'll start locally first, she thought, around the LA area. Then I'll expand the search to state, then nationally…

"She'll be at it a while." Bishop said. "C'mon, rookie. Let's get a beer."

"As long as y'all remember not to call me 'rookie'." Sam said. "I've been doin' this as long as you have."

"Whatever you say, boy."

Sanctuary.

"So, what do the rookies think?" Brannon said with a grin. Buffy glared at him.

"First of all, I've been doing this sort of thing longer than Adam, and Angel's been around for more than two hundred years, so don't call us rookies." Buffy said. "Second of all, next time you spend a night on the town, have a shower. You now have three ferals, and Angel and me aren't used to the cheap perfume. Got it, sparky?" Brannon glared at the girl. "I'm glad we had this talk."

"Oh man, I'm glad you came here." Jesse said. "Laughs are usually few and far between." Buffy smiled.

"Remember, four years hanging with Xander." Buffy said.

"Here's hoping the sense of humour hasn't rubbed off." Angel said with a grin.

"Ye- Hey!" Buffy said.

"Sorry to interrupt," Adam said. "but we have a problem."

"What's the sitch?" Buffy asked, slipping into Slayer mode.

"A New Mutant kidnapping." Adam said, bring the file on screen. "Amy Watson. She's an energy manipulator."

"GSA?" Angel asked. These creeps were really starting to tick the former vampire off.

"Here's where it gets confusing." Adam said. "Witness reports describe a member of Homo Superior involved, a Mr Victor Creed." Angel inhaled sharply.

"Problem?" Buffy asked.

"Had a run in with this creep years ago." Angel said. "Before I hit LA. He's a big man, deadly too. No qualms with hurting innocents, though he has some small honour. He doesn't kill below his 'legal limit'. He's got some moves too. I'd say he might be more agile than any feral."

"Finally." Buffy muttered. Angel looked down at her. "I'm sorry, honey, but ever since my New Mutantcy came through, vampires just weren't a challenge anymore. I've been looking for a reason to cut loose."

"Let's just be careful." Angel said. "They don't call this guy 'Sabretooth' for nothing."

Elsewhere.

"Hey, old man. The kid still alive?"

"Can it, runt!" Sabretooth growled at Wild Child, his 'partner' for this mission. "Let's just get this over with. Ya know where we gotta go?"

"Yeah, yeah, I got it." Wild Child muttered. "I just hope these two aren't as good as I've heard."

"Oh come off it." Sabretooth snorted. "Two little girls, man made mutants, what possible trouble could they be." It was about that time that the van they were riding in turned into a sardine can. "What the hell was that? It felt like we hit a brick wall!" He ripped the door off the back of the van a jumped out. "You'd think the boss could hire someone who could drive properly."

"Someone with brains would probably be a plus." A voice said from behind him. Sabretooth turned around. "Hello, Victor. Long time no see."

"Well, well, look who's here?" Sabretooth chuckled, recognising the vamp who had interrupted one of his bar room brawls years ago. "Not so daytime challenged, I see?"

"I've been through some changes." Angel said, flashing his cat's eyes.

"No foolin'." Sabretooth said, going low. He unsheathed his admantium claws, holding them in front of him. "I'm a little different myself."

"Well, you couldn't be any dumber, that's for sure." A female voice said as a pair of crashed into his side, below his admantium encased ribs. Sabretooth sprawled on the ground. "I thought this guy was supposed to be tough.

"The hell?" Sabretooth almost leapt to his feet, turning to face…

…A girl, maybe twenty years old, dressed in black to match the former vamp, her blonde hair flowing behind her. She looked at him with eyes that seemed older, eyes that had seen far too much for her young age.

"This is the big, bad Sabretooth?" She asked.

"Get outta here, girl." Creed said. "Yer below my legal limit."

"I, however, don't have that problem." Wild Child said, leaping out of the van. The girl's eyes flashed gold cat's eyes, then her arm flew out, smashing the mutant in the jaw. His momentum reversed, sending him back into the van.

"Stay out of this, rookie." She said. "I'm looking for a challenge." She looked back at Sabretooh. "We gonna go, or what?"

"You got guts, girl, I'll say that much." Sabretooth chuckled. "No wonder the boss wants you an' yer sister." The girls eyes narrowed.

"And here we go again." She muttered. "You people need to come up with a better plan. It was really obvious."

"Oh is that so?" Sabretooth said with a grin. "Well it got…" His words were cut off as he was hit with an emotion he didn't have much experience with.

Pure, unbridled fear.

The large mutant fell to his knees, curling up in a fetal position.

"How long's he going to be like that?" Buffy asked as Emma came from the other side of the van.

"As long as we need, I hope." The telempath said. "His will is so strong."

"Just keep him down, Em." Angel said. "How's Jesse?"

"Asking why he's always the roadblock." Shalimar told them as she helped the girl out of the van. "This was all about us?"

"Sounds like it." Buffy said disgustedly. Whoever was pulling Sabretooth's strings was after her and Shalimar, and they were willing to use an innocent to do it. "Why do we always get the creeps coming after us?" She muttered.

"Let's get back to Sanctuary." Shalimar said, carrying the unconscious girl gently in her arms. "We can figure it out there."

So, what do people think? This is about all I've got at the moment, but I'll update ASAP.

Stay tuned.

Doc.
