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 because I use a bad word.

Author's note: Reviewing is important. When you guys review it lets me know where to take the story and what's going to happen next, because I try and incorporate your suggestions into my writings, so review and it gives me ideas.

Anyone got a white jacket with back to front sleeves?

Xander paced back and forwards down the length of the now empty room muttering to himself and watching for a flash that meant that Wills had returned, but after half an hour of waiting there was still no flash.

Finally giving up with the pacing Xander vaulted over the desk and threw himself into the professor's chair. Well he threw himself into the chair that he assumed would be there because Xander was in an office and every desk in an office had a chair. Apparently not this one.

" Ouch, " Xander deadpanned from his tangled heap on the floor,

" Look before you leap, I understand that now." Xander continued and hauled himself up into a sitting position and snagged the phone off the Professor's desk.

Punching in a familiar number Xander leant back against the wall and waited for the ringing phone on the other end to be picked up.

" Magic Shop how may I be of assistance in selling you merchandise that well lead to more money in my shiny new till?" A sing song voice answered and Xander cracked a smile, he had missed Anya.

" Hey An, It's Xander is the G-man there?"

" Giles there is a child on the phone for you!" Anya screamed not bothering to pull the phone away from her ear and Xander winced at the resulting volume.

" Xander?" Giles asked as soon as he had snatched the phone away from Anya,

" Hey G- Giles, how's things in Sunnyhell?"

" Very well, very little going on really except for a giant bunny demon but Buffy was able to quash that with a broom. How are you? Is there any news on the medallion?"

Xander looked up sharply as he heard someone walking towards the room and he stood up,

" Giles I can't exactly talk now but I need you to find out any information on how someone might raise a whole bunch of demons and try and control them, and I kind of need it by tonight." Xander explained talking quickly and then before Giles could answer Xander hung the phone up and vaulted over the desk.

There was a knock on the door and then Storm entered she looked around the room her eyes settling on Xander and sighed.

" Where has Logan gone?" She asked and Xander tried to think of a natural response.

" Xander?" Storm asked again when Xander didn't respond and Xander extended his index finger and twirled it around in a circle,

" He's all around us I think." He tried to explain but Storm just frowned at him,

" The Professor is impatient to learn about this war, " She explained and held the door open obviously wanting Xander to leave the room.

Xander wandered through the open door and waited in the hallway for a moment until Storm came through the door as well.

" Come, the X-men are waiting in the caves." Storm explained walking down the corridor and Xander looked after and called out

" Caves?"

" Yes, there is a vast cave system under the school and this is where we have based the X-men operations, I'll take you down there."

Storm cut across the corridor slightly and opened a door leading outside motioning for Xander to keep up she started across a pristine lawn. Xander looked around and then down at the ground,

" Is this the only way into the caves?" Xander asked Storm who was striding ahead, and Storm nodded.

Xander stared back down at the ground again which had changed from lawn to a rocky trail under his feet and he suddenly snapped his head up, his body tensing and his hands clenched by his side,

" And the Professor came this way?" Xander asked his voice cold and Storm turned around in front of him and stared at the boy.

" So fucking clever!" Storm snarled and smiled as the branch of a tree whistled through the air and connected with the back of the boy's head.

AN: You've heard it before. R&R. Thanks for reading.
