Summary: Xander's loss of an eye at the hands of Caleb stirred up a hornet's nest of trouble. His family is angry, worried, and happens to include several Alpha Class mutants, who will descend on Sunnydale with a vengeance to find out what happened, and take their frustrations out on the Caleb and the First Evil's hides.

Willow squealed in delight, before she shot up to hug the Wagners, Xander's true family. "OHmyGODIhadnoideayouguyswerecomingXadernevertoldmeyouwereonyourwayitssogoodtoseeyouhowhaveyouallbeenandI'msorryIdidn'tcallyouimmediatelybutit'sbeensohecticandI'mjustsosorrybutyou'reherenowandthat'sGreat!" she babbled, as Kurt and Wada looked on bewildered between Willow and Xander, hoping for a translation, as neither could hope to speak, much less master, Willow-ese as he had done.

"Willow, slow down, bitte. My English is nowhere near that good." Kurt pleaded, his hands up in mock surrender.

Xander and TJ both laughed before the younger commented, "I don't think anyone but Xander could translate all of that, Daddy. I'm a native speaker, and I only got every third word or so."

Willow had the good grace to blush at the ribbing from the two blue Wagners, even as Wanda returned her attention to her son and frowned. "I did catch enough to hear Willow apologize for not calling us. That I can understand. What I'd like to know is how you could have something like this happen to you, Alex, and we have to hear about it from /Mystique/?"

"Wanda, liebe, we talked about this." Kurt admonished gently.

The lights in the room flickered as the Scarlet Witch glared at her husband and said, "I don't care, Kurt! He was maimed. Our son, our eldest child was horribly wounded, and the only reason I was informed was because my mother-in-law, who /loathes/ the fact we're married felt we should know." her eyes brimming with tears.

"Mutti(Mom)." Xander whispered. "Mutti, bitte(please). I wanted to keep you away to protect you all. This situation...it's worse than any other before it. I wanted to keep quiet to keep you all safe."

Wanda broke down into a full crying jag at his words, as she exclaimed, "You're still our son, Alex. We deserved to know the second it happened, not when your grandmother decided to call to bitch at us. God, Xander, we worry about you so much to begin with...why did you shut us out like this?"

"Es tut mir wirklich Leid (I'm really sorry), Mutti, Vati(Dad). Please forgive me." he whispered, moving between German and English almost unconsciously.

"Now, now. None of that." Kurt said in a comforting tone, as he hugged his weeping wife, and patted his injured son's hand. "The important thing is that we're here and we're together."

TJ, who had faded back near Willow as the scene began to unfold, spoke up then. "So, where can we find the arschloch responsible for this?" she asked, her voice flinty.

"Talia!" Kurt exclaimed, displeased with her casual swear.

"Whoever did this hurt Xander, Daddy. I think I'm allowed to be upset at that." Nocturne snapped at her father, he tail lashing back and forth in agitation.

Kurt could only nod his head in acceptance for a moment, before a shout that sounded like "DEMON!", accompanied by a body lunging at him broke his concentration.

Buffy made her way into the hospital quietly as she came to check over the injured. She still felt like hell following the failed raid on the Vineyard the night before, and she looked the part, too. She was in the same clothes she had wore the night before, only wrinklier, and her hair was a mess just barely better than bed head.

Still she had to check on the SiT's, and on Xander especially. Not only was she the leader of the group, which made her responsible for those girls, but one of her Oldest and dearest friends had been wounded terribly pulling several of them out of hams way due to her plan. The fact he had just finished giving those self same girls a pep talk about following her earlier that evening only made her guilt worse.

Her ponderings were cut short as her enhanced hearing picked up a squeal that was definitely Willow's. Judging by the sound, she was either terrified beyond reason, or extremely excited. Buffy knew that circumstances wouldn't lend themselves to excitement, so she logically assumed that danger was involved, and broke out into a dead run up to Xander's hospital room on the third floor.

Her hunch seemed to prove true as she discovered what appeared to be two blue demons, along with Willow, Xander, and another older woman in his room. the fact that the younger demon was next to Willow, its tail swinging menacingly, as the older, bigger one, held Xander won was all the info the Slayer needed. With a cry of "DEMON" to attract their attention, she lunged at the larger one with Mr. Pointy extended to destroy the threat.

As Buffy attacked, several things happened all at once. Xander and Willow both cried out, "Buffy, no wait!" simultaneously, as Kurt leapt straight up, adhering to the ceiling with his toes to avoid the attacking girl. TJ just sneered as she readied one of her hex bolts, only to stop short as he mother beat her to it.

Wanda Maximoff-Wagner's hands glowed an eerie blue, as she waved them at the attacking Buffy Summers. As a result, Buffy chanced direction mid-aid, and flew back out the open door, landing on an orderlies cart in a heap, with a (thankfully empty) bedpan falling and landing on the top of her head like a funny hat.

The Slayer, confused by the sudden change in momentum, but determined to protect her friends, stood up ready and rearing for round two.

She stopped short, however, when a strange sound emitted from behind her.

'SNIKT'

"I don't know what yer problem is, kid. But if you try to hurt the Elf, the Witch, or those kids again, yer getting a nasty taste of adamantium fer yer troubles." Logan sneered, claws out and ready for mayhem.

As Buffy tried to process the newest threat, a small energy bomb rolled beneath her and exploded, knocking her back into the cart, with another bed pan now adorning her skull. "You try to touch Blue, or Wanda, or TJ again and you're in for it, bottle blonde." Meltdown spat, with a baseball sized charge in her hand just begging to be tossed into the Slayer.

"An' the best you can hope for is that they finish you before Ah do." Rogue added from where she had taken up a position in front of Xander's room to guard it.

The four in the hall stood there in tense anticipation for the ensuing brawl, until a voice cut though the mounting tension with a thunderous roar. "ENOUGH!" Xander shouted from where he had hobbled up behind his Aunt Rogue.

"Buffy, back off. They're not demons, they're my family. They came to visit when they heard I was hurt." Xander said to the Slayer, as he rested a hand on Rogue's shoulder to keep her calm. She might decide to lunge at Buffy while she had the chance, otherwise. Rogue got quite snippy and protective of Kurt when someone attacked him, or called him 'demon'.

"Everyone, that's Buffy. She's on our side. She just jumped to some pretty easy conclusions when you live on a Hellmouth. Try not to hurt her. Please." the White Knight then said to the rest of them, as he stepped in to defuse the situation.

Once things looked like they had calmed enough to avoid violence, mostly illustrated by Wolverine retracting his claws, Xander sighed in relief. He looked back to his parents in his hospital room, and smiled wanly as he asked, "You still wondering why I didn't want Nana Raven to call you?"
