{Voice in Xander's head}
[Xander's reply]
Xander settled into Angel's back seat and groaned. He really did not want to be in the same car with Angel for two hours and Angel's refusal to tell him where they were going made his mood worse.
{Looks like I'll have to explain since Angel won't.}
[Get to it] Xander groused.
{Don't pull an attitude with me. Angel is taking you to see Ben, who verifies snake warriors.}
[Verifies?]
{After an incident of a false identification that almost destroyed us, Ben makes sure that the new snake warriors are actually warriors.}
[How can he be sure they are one?]
{He is one himself. He was paralyzed by a demon breaking his back early in his calling and was taken off active duty so the next warrior could be called. He can still sense other warriors, vampires, ghosts, etc. but can't actively fight.}
[I thought one had to die before the other was called.]
{Only slayers have that rule. If a warrior is incapacitated and the next in line is at the right age, the next is called and the incapacitated one is taken off active duty. Or in Ben's case, a substitute is found until the next in line is the right age. That would have come in handy for slayers over the years.}
Xander shuddered at the thought of Buffy being paralyzed but realized that if she got sloppy that could happen. Which brought up even more unpleasant thoughts of Spike telling him the painful story of being in the wheelchair and the abuse at the hands of insane Angelus. Thoughts of his lover being tortured made him hate the driver of the car even more.
He just could not wait to get where they were going to get away from the vampire.
