Thief in the night

Disclaimer: I don't own anything so there would be very little point in suing me. The marvelous characters in this story are owned by the people who own them and not unfortunately by me. If you don't recognize a character then it's mine, all mine.

Summary: Xander encounters the X-men but that'd just be boring so there's a twist.

Spoilers: Not really but let's say X-men 1 and Buffy season 6 to be safe.

Rating: Let's say pg-13 in case I use a bad word.

Author's note: Dad I have something to tell you.

Couldn't you just be into drugs like a normal teenager?

"I need to talk with Logan for a moment." Xander stated to the group who were all staring at him a mixture of strange expressions on their faces. Finally Jean began to nod and she was still nodding when she had finished herding the group out of the lab, leaving Xander and Logan alone.

" You want to tell me what's going on?" Logan asked pulling himself up to sit on the side of Xander's bed.

" That's the idea." Xander informed him and Logan raised an eyebrow,

" I'm just not sure how to tell you." Xander continued and Logan reached forward and laid a hairy hand comfortingly on Xander's shoulder.

" How about you start at the beginning and just tell me?"

" What I'm about to tell you is all going to sound really freaky but I'm telling the truth and it's important that you believe me." Xander explained squirming a little in his chair,

" Go ahead kid I'm listening." Logan told his son and Xander took a deep breath and nodded.

" Ok so . " Xander sighed and licked his lips wondering where to start,

" Magneto told me that there was a war brewing between mutants, the Professor said the same thing, well I know that the war is more then likely going to be over in two days and that if we don't do something to stop it by then, everyone is going to die."

Logan's eyes bugged a little in his head and he looked questioningly at his son.

" What?" Was all the older man could manage to say,

" Whoever is on the other side, whoever wants to start the war is going to make a big mistake and he's not going to be able to control them. "

" Wait, control who?" Logan asked confused and Xander frowned at him,

" I'm getting there!" He snapped and the shook his head,

" Sorry, This guy I think it's the same guy from tonight is going to try and bolster the numbers on his side by using demons."

Logan let out a snort of disbelief and smiled,

" I think that you hit your head harder then you thought," He teased and Xander shook his head.

" I didn't, Logan I know this is true. I know that it sounds insane but it's true!"

" Yeah, How can you possibly know that this true? "

" Because for the past seven years I've been fighting demons and saving the world, because I've seen people try to summon demons before and it's never turned out well."

Logan was staring at his son, and he raised an eyebrow,

" You've been fighting demons since you were five?" He asked in disbelief and Xander shook his head,

" No, not since I was five. Since I was fifteen."

" What?" Logan asked confused and Xander stared at his father in the eye,

" I know this all sounds insane but the PTB sent me here for a reason and I think, scratch that I know it's because I have to stop this war. "

" PTB?" Logan rubbed his forehead a frown appearing on his face,

" The Powers that Be, they control everything in the world, they're kind of like the keepers of destiny and fate. "

" And they sent you here?" Logan said slowly obviously not believing a word that sprung from his son's mouth.

" Yes, because Willow asked them to protect me."

" Willow? A tree asked the Powers that Be to protect you so they sent you to a school for mutants where you're supposed to stop a war between mutants and demons and save the world?" Logan let out a laugh and stood up,

" I'm getting Jean, you need.medicating." Logan laughed and walked towards the door.

" Logan I'm telling the truth and I can prove it." Xander shot back his voice raising as he stood himself and followed the older man to the door.

" You can prove what? That you've lost your nut?"

"No that I'm twenty two years old, that up until three months ago I lived in Sunnydale California which is set on the mouth of hell, that demons are real and. that I'm not really your son."

Logan froze and he turned to stare at Xander,

" Say the last bit again." Logan ordered and Xander rolled his eyes,

" I'm talking about hell and demons and you focus in on the fact that you and me aren't really related?"

" Jean did a DNA test," Logan stated and Xander nodded,

" When the PTB sent me here they needed someone to protect me and they needed someone to have a reason for protecting me so they made me your son."

" Bullshit." Logan snapped and Xander shook his head,

" Up until three months ago I was just a normal person, I wasn't a mutant and I didn't have healing abilities or super strength."

" Stop it." Logan shouted

" Call the Sunnydale hospital and get the medical records for Alexander Harris, they'll show I had pneumonia when I was seven, that I've had three broken arms in the past four years. I'm not a mutant."

" You died this afternoon, if you don't have healing powers then why the hell are you standing here!"

" The PTB." Xander started but Logan cut him off,

" The PTB! There's no such thing! You are a mutant and you are my son and if you're having issues dealing with that then. Get over it!" Logan roared

" You should calm down you're going to pop a blood vessel." A voice behind Logan commanded and Logan spun around and his eyes shot wide open in shock. Standing before him dressed from head to toe in a white robe and lit from behind with a white light stood Willow.

" Who are you?" Logan demanded and Willow smiled,

" My name is Willow and this is my fault so I've come down to help you understand." Willow explained and Logan's eyebrows nearly shot off his forehead.

" Help me understand?" He asked and Willow nodded and reached forward with a pale hand.

" I'll show you everything, just take my hand." Willow explained her voice calm and Logan looked over his shoulder at Xander who was trying to hide a smirk at what Willow was wearing.

" It's ok Logan you can trust her."

Logan looked back around at the hand that was held in front of him and reached forward with his own huge paw slowly,

" Oh I can, Can I?" He asked and gasped in shock as he connected with Willow's flesh.

There was a flash of light and Willow and Logan disappeared leaving Xander standing alone in the room. He looked around and stamped his foot playfully.

" How come I always get left out?"
