Jondy sat down, waiting for Syl to come back onto the phone. After a couple of moments, her sister spoke again.
"Are you telling me that Xander is a mutant?" Syl asked with a shaky voice.
"You know him then?" Jondy replied.
"Yeah, I know him. I've been going out with him for over a year and a half." Syl told her younger sister.
"Oh. I see." Jondy said. "I'll meet you at the high school in a half hour. I want to meet your friends. Krit and Faith will be there too right?"
"Uh….Yeah. I just want to get something straight with you. Xander is staying here. I need him right now, and so does our fight."
"Your fight?" Jondy said, confused. "Lydecker's not onto you is he?"
"No, I'm talking about the forces of evil. Vampires, demons, the whole deal."
"Vampires aren't real. You're just screwing around with me." Jondy remarked.
"Oh they're not real, huh. Come out with us tonight and you might have a different opinion afterwards." Syl shot back.
Jondy walked down a narrow alley, well aware that she was being followed by a foul smelling man. She ducked behind a dumpster and waited for Syl to give the signal.
Syl and Buffy were standing on the rooftops, looking down at the vamp, who hadn't seen them. Syl pried a piece of concrete off of the roof and hurled it at the vamp just as he was about to jump Jondy.
The rock hit the vamp on the shoulder and he looked up, startled. Jondy took advantage of his immense stupidity to blur behind the vamp before he even saw her move.
"What the hell!" the vamp exclaimed. Jondy prodded him on the back of the neck. He whirled around, intent on pummeling Jondy, but was met with a viscious uppercut that threw him backwards onto an upturned metal shard, which subsequently decapitated him. He exploded into dust.
Jondy stood where she was for a moment. "Okay, that was cool."
Buffy and Syl jumped down from the roof and congratulated Jondy on her first slay.
Moments later
Jondy, Buffy and Syl made her way through the entrance of the Bronze, Sunnydale's lead hangout for the teenage poplulation. They quickly spotted Krit standing with a group of other teens. Grinning from ear to ear, she ran over to where they were standing.
"Hey Syl, Krit." Jondy greeted.
"Jon!" Krit exclaimed, not having been aware that Jondy was in town. Syl had wanted it to be a surprise. He wrapped his little sister in a bone crushing hug. "How have you been for the last eight years?"
"Great. Haven't had any Lydecker problems at all. You?" Jondy told them.
"None for me." Syl said.
"Faith and I had a close call in Tuscon a couple years ago, but other than that we've been fine." Krit told her.
"Where's Faith?" Jondy asked.
"She's off with Gunn somewhere or other." A redhaired girl said. "Hi, I'm Willow."
"Okay, let me introduce you to everyone." Syl said. "You know Buffy, this is Oz, Xander, Scott, and Cordelia, and Willow of course."
"So you're Xander, huh. The mutant we came to find." Jondy noted. "Damn sis, you've got good taste."
"Me a mutant?" Xander said, "There's gotta be some mistake. I'm just your ordinary c- student." He protested.
"The Professor said that your powers were strength based. You've never done anything that required more than one person normally?" Jondy asked.
Xander thought for a moment. "Well there was that one time, during the whole Angelus thing."
Flashback
(Excerpt from Sunnydale's Angels Chapter 6)
Angelus was deeply engrossed in his torture of the now barely conscious Syl. Her body was covered in splotches of blood that seeped out of various cuts on her body. Angelus was so focused on her work, he didn't hear the door creak open. Xander slowly entered and immediately saw Angelus standing in front of a tightly bound and motionless Syl.
"You son of a bitch!" Xander screamed and gave into the rage that had been building since Syl had been taken. Before Angelus could react, Xander raised his weapon and broght it down on Angelus's arm, skewering it off. It fell tto the ground with a wet plop. Angelus howled and swooned in pain. Xander swung the axe in an upward arc, effortlessly taking Angelus' head off. The master vampire's body wobbled before exploding into dust, just as the other seven rushed into the room.
"What the hell happened? Oh my god Syl." Buffy exclaimed.
"Angelus will not be bothering us anymore. I have taken care of him." Xander said simply. "Help me get Syl."
End Flashback
"Well that would explain it." Syl admitted, "You did become a better fighter after that, come to think of it."
"I'm supposed to try and get you to come back to New York with us, but I don't think that you're gonna agree to come are you?" Jondy asked.
"No, I like it here." Xander replied. "I couldn't leave Syl like that."
"I figured as much." Jondy told them. "I should be heading back. The others will be waiting."
"When are you leaving?" Krit asked.
"Tomorrow morning. With Xander staying here, there will be no reason to stick around."
"Why don't you stay?" Syl asked. "You could be a big help around here."
"As tempting as the offer sounds, I'm gonna have to say no. I can't just leave my friends after all they've done for me. But if you guys ever need help. Don't hesitate to call me and I'll be on the first flight. Okay?"
"You got it baby sister." Syl said, and wrapped Jondy in a tight hug.
After a couple of minutes, Jondy and Syl let go and Jondy left the building.
