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's chained to a wall, people are about to sacrifice him. What's new? You ask, well this.
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, I think you know the one I use, so if it offends you don't read. Or read but mentally bleep the word.
Because being chained to a wall would make anyone crazy.
"Are you ready for round two?" A voice sneered in the darkness.
Xander tensed and pulled on the chains with all his strength the metal buckled and gave way and Xander fell from the wall. He looked up from the crouch he was in,
"Oh yeah." He stated and charged.
Calvin was unprepared for the sudden attack launched by a boy he thought was chained to a wall and Xander tackled the larger man before Calvin could react, all the older man could do was let out a painful oomph as Xander's shoulder connected with his stomach.
Xander ignored the pained cry of the man before him and starting angrily punching Calvin in the stomach, until finally Calvin gathered his wits about him and using his legs managed to twist them up underneath the body of the boy attacking him and kick him off. Xander was propelled awkwardly a few feet away landing on his back. He stared up at the ceiling for a beat before flipping up into a standing position.
"Come on then," Xander sneered slipping into a fight stance and staring at Calvin.
Calvin approached cautiously for a step and then lunged. Xander faked to the left, planted his right foot, and roundhouse kicked Calvin in the face. Calvin yelled in pain as his nose broke spraying blood across his face and as he looked down at Xander the blood pooled along his top lip and dripped on the floor.
"You'll pay for that," Calvin threatened and he lunged again. This time Xander dropped, spun and kicked the outside of Calvin's right knee, Calvin teetered for a second, his ruined knee unable to support him and went down. Xander came in close and fast driving the heel of his right hand into Calvin's broken nose. Calvin screamed again in pain and Xander grabbed the larger man by the shoulders and rammed his knee into the man's stomach.
"Where's the mutant?" Xander demanded grabbing Calvin's shirt and slamming his head back against the hard packed dirt of the cave.
"Fuck you," Calvin slurred and Xander shook his head,
"Not today," Xander replied slamming the man's head into the dirt again, " Where is he?" the 'boy' demanded.
"Where is nothing?" Calvin slurred a little, his eyes rolled back in his head as he passed out.
"Fuck!" Xander screamed and slapped Calvin across the face in an effort to wake him up, but the man remained listless.
Suddenly a noise behind him demanded his attention and he spun around his guard up ready to battle the mutant, and strangely disappointed to discover the source of the noise was the X-men.
"Xander!" Logan called out making his way over to the boy, Xander stood and gave a last frustrated glare at the prone figure at his feet.
"Are you all right?" Logan demanded grabbing a hold of his son's shoulders.
"I'm fine. Why? Shouldn't I be?" Xander shot back remembering Willow's comments about Logan threatening the PTB.
"What?" Logan asked obviously confused and Xander narrowed his eyes at the older man in sudden thought.
"What did you do today?" Xander demanded and Logan frowned,
"I've been looking for you, you've been missing for nearly seven hours. Why?" This time it was the father's time to narrow his eyebrows.
"You didn't talk to Willow?" Xander asked now confused and Logan shook his head obviously perplexed,
"Whose Willow?" He asked and Xander sighed and shook his head, Damned PTB.
"No one, how did you find me? "Xander asked trying to change the topic quickly,
"We've discovered some interesting information about who is behind this war you've been warning us about." Scott announced behind Logan and Xander looked at him waiting for more,
"And," he prompted,
"And you're never going to believe what we've found out. Apparently the mutant behind all of this plans to use Demon's to fight in his army actual real life demons! ...and you don't seem surprised," Scott finished and after a beat Xander dropped his mouth open,
"Demon's really? What are you whack?" Xander spat out awkwardly and stared at the faces before him all staring at him.
"Fine!" He shouted eventually throwing his arms up in the air, "I know all about the demons, I know all about the mutant's plan and before you ask I have no fucking clue as to how to stop him!" Scott, Logan and Storm all stared at him with an eyebrow raised.
"What?" Xander demanded, "Why is everyone looking at me like that? It's been a very stressful day so exxccuussee me if I decide to have a tiny little rant, I think that I have completely deserved it because for the last seven hours I've been chained to a wall while the ugliest thing in the world tried to use ME as a human sacrifice to start a WAR that has the potential to kill every living thing on this planet!!"
"So where is he?" Scott asked looking around the dank cave.
Xander shrugged,
"Where is nothing?" He sighed dramatically and shook his head at the confused faces before him.
"No where." Supplied Logan,
"Everywhere?" Suggested Storm.
"What the hell are we talking about?" Asked Scott.
Xander stared at the trio a beat then announced.
"We need reinforcements and unfortunately I know exactly who to call."
AN: Short and Sweet. And before you shout, yes I know I took forever and I'll try not to in the future. But I'm not promising anything.
