Chapter 3
'Please dear God let this work,' Xander thought to himself as he sat behind the steering wheel of the black SUV.
After the group had found out about Alice they quickly thought up a plan. Using Angie's hacking skills they had found the exact location of where Alice was being kept, the little girl was then able to create fake Umbrella ID's for them, then after buying new clothes or cleaning already owned ones, they headed for Alice.
That is what led to Xander's praying in a black SUV while wearing an exact replica of Carlos's Umbrella uniform, making it appear that he was just another one of their grunts, while everyone else got to pose as the high ranking employee's.
"You okay back there Angie?" Xander called out quietly to the girl hiding in the back seat.
"Just fine," came an equally quiet reply.
Looking out of one of the side view mirrors, Xander let out a sigh of relief as he saw Jill, Carlos, and L.J. lead a towel clad Alice to the car.
"Let's get out of here," Jill said as she climbed into the seat next to his.
"You got it," Xander replied as he shifted gears and pushed down the gas petal.
A few minutes later the young man slowed to a stop in front of the security gate while Jill rolled down the window and showed the guard her fake I.D.
The guard looked over the I.D. but before he had a chance to say anything a call came over the phone in the small guardhouse. Answering the phone the guard listened to the orders come over the phone from the scientist on the other end.
"Let them go," Dr Isaac's told the guard before continuing. "Activate program ALICE,"
The guard, slightly confused by the last line, opened the gate and allowed the black car to pull away and head down the road. No one knew that the second thing said by the doctor was directed at the super powered red head in the car, nor did anybody see the pupils of her eyes flash to the Umbrella logo after hearing it.
"So where too?" Xander asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Just get us as far away from here as possible, it won't be long before they realize they've been tricked," Jill responded as she turned to look at the silent Alice.
"Are you alright?" Angie asked as she popped out of the back seat.
Alice simply stared at her in silence.
"What did they do you?" Jill asked.
Again, silence was the reply that was received.
"Come on Alice, say something," Carlos said as he gently grabbed her hand.
"Thank you," was the reply from the red head before she turned to stare out of the window.
Two hours later everyone in the car had fallen asleep except for Alice, who had spent the past three weeks in a form of hibernation in order to heal her injuries, and Xander because he was driving.
"You've awfully quiet," Xander stated, breaking the silence in the car.
"You're point?" Alice asked.
"Well, with all the stuff you've been through I thought that you might want to talk," he continued.
"Where are we going?" the super human asked, changing the topic of conversation.
Xander thought for a moment about the sudden change of topic, but decided not to persist. "My hometown," he replied.
"Why there?" she asked.
"I have friends there that can help us, and not alot of people know it exists," the young man answered.
"Umbrella does," she countered.
"True, but like I said, I have friends that can help us,"
"How do you know that you can trust your friends?" she asked in a silent voice, memories of Spence and how he unleashed the virus flashing through her mind.
"I just do," Xander replied in a calm voice.
"If you say so," Alice said, ending the conversation.
After three more hours of driving with the only break being when Jill woke up to take over driving so Xander could get some sleep. The small group arrived in Sunnydale just as the sun was coming up. Jill quickly nudged Xander awake seeing as he was the only one who knew his way around.
"Where to?" Jill asked as she drove around town.
"Turn left up here," Xander responded, pointing to a street.
Jill, following Xander's advice turned onto Crawford and started driving down it. A few minutes later Xander told her to pull into a driveway of a large mansion.
"Wow," L.J. said as he got out of the car and took in the sight of the impressive mansion.
"Who lives here?" Carlos asked as he helped Angie out.
"Judging by the state it's still in, I'd say no one," Xander replied as he walked toward the front door.
A few minutes later, after the group had retrieved the small amount of duffel bags in the back of the car, they were standing in the front hallway of the mansion. Xander stood there for a moment before walking through a side door into a larger room.
"Crap, still here," Xander muttered as he saw the large statue on the other side of the room. "I thought Buffy and Giles would have gotten rid of it by now,"
"What is that thing?" Jill asked as she dropped the bag that she was holding.
"That is the stone demon that nearly sucked the world into hell that I told you about," Xander replied.
"Oh," came Jill's reply.
"So what do we do with it?" Carlos asked.
"Nothing for now, unless one of you can pick up and move a statue that weighs a lot," Xander replied.
Before anyone could reply Alice walked up to the statue and pulled back her arm. In the blink of an eye her arm shot froward and hit the stone demon, causing it to crumble into pieces.
The rest of the group started at the red head, speechless, until Xander broke the silence.
"Raise your hand if your suddenly very scared of pissing Alice off," Xander said as he held up his hand. The rest of the group quickly followed suite.
A few hours later Xander and Jill were on the way to Giles house, the former trying to figure out the best way to explain to the watcher all that was happening.
"You okay?" Jill asked as Xander pulled the car to a stop in front of the watcher's house.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little nervous," Xander replied as he got out of the car, Jill following close behind.
Seconds later Xander was opening the door of the apartment and stepping in. Looking around the Englishman's living room Xander saw the stunned expressions of Giles as well as Buffy and Willow.
"Uh, hi guys," Xander said to the group before a red haired missile hit his chest and latched on tight.
"OhmygodXanderit'syouwesawyouonthenewswhat'sgoingon," Willow said as she held onto the young man.
"It's nice to see you to Willow, but I kinda need to breathe," Xander gasped out, his face turning a little blue.
"I'm sorry," Willow said as she quickly let go of him.
"It's alright, I'm used to it bye now," the young man replied as he took a couple deep breathes. "By the way, this is Jill," he continued, gesturing to the former S.T.A.R.S standing behind him. "Jill this is Willow, Buffy, and Giles or G man," he said, pointing at each person in turn.
"Nice to meet you," Jill said to the group.
"Same here," Buffy replied before addressing Xander. "Now Xander, I'm trying my best not to flip out over what I saw on the news, so you wanna start taking before I snap," the blond slayer asked her friend
"Get comfortable, it's a long story," Xander replied as he sat down on the couch.
The next hour was spent telling Buffy, Willow, and Giles about all that had happened. Starting from when the T-Virus first started spreading up to the rescue of Alice. When Xander and Jill reached the end of the story the trio was staring at him in amazement.
"Wow," Buffy said, finally breaking the silence.
"Yeah," Willow agreed the look of shock still on her face.
"You know what's sad?" Buffy asked the group.
"What?" Giles asked, finally speaking up.
"Not one part of that story sounded odd to me," the blond replied before putting her head in her hands. "I've been on the hellmouth way to long,"
"Don't worry Buff, I know how you feel," Xander said as he patted her on the back.
"So this Alice you mentioned is now super powered?" Giles asked as he cleaned his glasses, still a little confused on some of the details.
"Yup, the T-Virus bonded with her and then as far as we can see, forced her to evolve into a super powerful person," Xander replied.
"Could I take her?" Buffy suddenly asked.
"My guess would be no," Xander replied after a moments thought.
"Why do you say that?" Buffy asked, slightly angry that one of her best friends didn't have that much faith in her.
"Well for starters, she smashed Acathla with a single punch," Xander replied.
"Wow," Willow said in slight awe.
"And she has extensive training in many forms of martial arts," the young man finished.
"I still think I could take her," Buffy grumbled as she fell back onto the couch.
"We should probably get back," Jill said as she stood up and straitened her skirt.
"Yeah you're right," Xander said as he also stood up.
"Are you sure you can't stay longer?" Willow pleaded.
"Sorry Will, but we're gonna be at Angel's old mansion for a couple of weeks, so you can come by if you want," Xander replied as he and Jill started heading for the door.
"Where will you be after that?" Giles asked as he stood up to show them to the door, as any good host should do.
"Somewhere that isn't Sunnydale," Xander answered, hoping that he and Jill could make it out the door before someone could ask why.
"What do you mean 'somewhere that isn't Sunnydale'?" Buffy asked quickly before her friend could get out the door.
Letting out a sigh the young man turned to face her. "What I mean is that we decided that we would stay here for a couple weeks but then we have to leave town,"
"Why can't you stay longer?" Willow asked, a small amount of sadness in her voice over the prospect that her friend might leave again.
"Because Umbrella is after us, if we stay in one place to long there is a good chance that they will find us," Xander explained to his friend.
"Xander, you don't have to worry about some big evil corporation is coming after you, we'll be here to protect you," Buffy responded.
Xander was slightly shocked about what he heard the blond slayer say, as well as slightly angered but was able to calm himself down before responding.
"Did it ever occur to you that I might not need you to protect me," Xander responded, his tone level.
"Xander you have to understand that I am the slayer, it's my job to this kind of stuff not yours," Buffy told her friend. "In fact, you should probably stay here and let those other people handle all of this."
"How can you say that?" Jill asked in anger, quickly coming to the defense of the young man she now saw as one of her closest friends.
"What are you talking about?" Willow asked in confusion.
"In case you hadn't noticed Xander is perfectly capable of making his own decisions!" the former S.T.A.R.S shot back.
"No offence lady, but we didn't ask your opinion," Buffy said to Jill in a pissed tone.
Jill was about to reply with a cutting remark but was stopped when Xander put his hand on her shoulder. Turning, she saw her friend giving her a look that said to just let it go. Regaining her composer, Jill turned and walked out the door, followed closely by Xander who was ignoring the his friends calls to come back.
"How the hell do you put up with those two?" Jill asked in astonishment as she and Xander drove back to the mansion.
"It takes practice," the young man responded with a shrug of his shoulders.
"There acting like you're some five year old that always needs to be watched!" the woman continued as Xander drove down the street.
Xander chose to remain silent after that comment and not defend his friends like he was about to do. Looking back over the past few years the young man realized that the Jill was right.
Jill's rant came to an end a few minutes later and the two fell into a comfortable silence for the rest of the drive back to the mansion. When the young man pulled into the driveway of the building Jill quickly grabbed his arm before he could get out.
"What?" Xander asked, confused as to why his friend was not letting him out of the car.
"You know, if you want to stay here with your friends, non of us would blame you," Jill told her young friend.
"Thanks," Xander replied before looking the other occupant of the car in the eyes. "But I have no intention of leaving you guys."
"Good, it's nice having someone with a semi decent sense of humor around," the former S.T.A.R.S responded as she climbed out of the car, Xander following close behind.
"Besides, if I did leave, who would teach Angie how to do the Snoopy Dance and eat a Twinkie the right way,"
The only reply Xander got was a laugh as the two walked through the front door of the mansion.
As Xander and Jill walked in the front door they quickly had to duck in order to avoid a large piece of stone flying through the air.
"What the hell was that?" Jill asked as she stood back up.
"I have no idea," Xander replied as he walked into the room the stone had come from.
Upon entering the room Xander stopped dead in his tracks and stared in amazement at what he saw. On the other side of the room stood Alice, now dressed in loose jeans and a T-shirt instead of a sheet, with several large pieces of what the young man assumed was Acathla, spinning around her head.
"Glad you two are back," Carlos said as he walked over to them.
"What is she doing?" Jill asked, gesturing towards Alice.
"Apparently Umbrella did more then just make her stronger and faster," Carlos replied.
"No kidding," Xander shot back as Alice began to lower the stones to the ground.
"I think I can also melt peoples brains," the red head said as she walked over.
"I am suddenly very afraid of you," Xander told Alice, who simply replied with a smirk.
"Where are Angie and L.J.?" Jill asked Carlos, now over the shock of seeing Alice moving things with her mind.
"L.J. is sleeping upstairs and Angie is taking stock of what food we have," Carlos answered as the group started towards the kitchen.
When they walked into the kitchen the first thing that Xander noticed was that is was a lot cleaner then earlier, the second was Angie sorting through and putting away the different kinds of food they had.
"Hey kiddo," Xander said to the girl he now saw as a little sister as he sat down at the table.
"How did it go?" Angie asked, looking up from her task.
"Let's just say not to good and leave it that," Xander replied as the other three people in the room sat down.
"So, what do we do now?" Carlos asked the group compiling to Xander's request.
"We need weapons," Alice quickly answered.
"Any idea where to get some?" Jill asked, directing her question at Xander.
"No, but I think I know someone who does," the young man replied.
"Who?" Carlos asked.
"Willy the Snitch," Xander replied before turning to Alice. "How do you feel about scaring the piss out of someone?"
"I'm okay with it," the red head replied with a grin.
"This is the place," Xander told Alice as he pulled the car too a stop in front of the seedy bar.
"Nice place," Alice replied, sarcasm evident in her voice.
"Let's go," Xander said as he got out of the car and checked that the pistol he brought with him was loaded.
Walking into the bar Xander saw that the place hadn't changed much since the last time he was there. There were still dark corners and even darker booths, as well as various different demons around; the only thing new was the stench that lingered in the air. Spotting Willy at the bar, the so-called Zeppo and super powered red head made their way over.
"Hey Willy, how ya been?" Xander asked as the greasy looking man in front of him.
"Harris, haven't seen you here in awhile, whose your friend?" Willy responded, suddenly very nervous.
"That's not important right now," Alice said to him as she leveled a glare at him. "We need information,"
"On what?" Willy asked, suddenly wishing he could turn invisible.
"Where can we get some weapons?" Xander asked.
"I have no idea," Willy quickly responded.
"Oh really?" Xander asked and received a quick nod from the bar owner. "Gee, that's to bad. Alice," Xander said, turning to the red head, who quickly put her lashed out and grabbed Willy by the collar and pulled him closer.
"Now listen real close Willy," Xander said in a dark tone. "If you thought the slayer was worst thing to happen to you, you're dead wrong. My friend here broke Acathla into thousands of pieces with a single punch, and probably has enough mental strength to melt your brain," the young man told the sweating, terrified man.
"Really?" Willy asked in a terrified voice.
"Yeah, now are you sure you don't know anything?" Xander asked in a sweet voice.
"You know, I just remembered that I know a guy that can probably help you out," Willy responded. "If your friend here will put me down I can get you his address,"
Xander thought for a moment before nodding to Alice, who quickly pushed her captive back into the wall. He then quickly scrambled to the paper and pencil on the bar. Writing down the address, he handed it to the young man in front of him.
"Here ya go," Willy said nervously.
"Thanks a lot Willy," Xander said as he took the paper and started to walk for the door, Alice following behind. "You should probably take a few days off man, you're looking a little pale," the young man said over his shoulder as they walked out of the bar.
"Is he always that cowardly?" Alice asked as the two reached the car and climbed in.
"Pretty much," Xander answered before turning to look at her. "But you got to admit it was funny as hell seeing him there about to piss himself."
Alice simple smiled in response to her friends joke while trying to silence the voice in her head that was telling her to reach across the seat and rip the smiling man's head off of his shoulders.
