Alexander had experienced a pretty good morning, casting the spell and making his way towards Xander's house, when he saw one Xander in a phone booth and another passing right by.
"Hold up!" he called out, but the better dressed one couldn't hear him and got away. But he did manage to catch up with the scruffier of the two.
"Who are you?" the smelly Xander asked at his approach.
"I'm you from another dimension," Alexander told him, "Did you encounter a demon called Toth and did he zap you with a rod?"
"Yeah, why?"
"He split you into two versions of yourself, any idea where the other 'you' might have gone?"
"Probably to work, if it is me," the local Xander told him, "And how do I know you're for real?"
"The only way to really do that might involve there being two of you permanently," Alexander admitted, "Maybe we should wake up Giles after you clean up and get some decent clothes on."
"Okay, but what kind of proof did you mean there?"
"I've been giving the hyena and soldier stuff back without the possessions…"
"So I'd be like near-slayer in some areas but with military training?"
"Basically."
"No more butt-monkey…" Xander mused as they entered the house. Tony Harris came down the stairs and Alexander smiled a nasty smile and took down the man in a single blow.
"Now I never really took more than verbal abuse in my dimension, but some of us really got it bad," Alexander remarked, "So there is no bad here."
"So what did other Xanders do when you put the mojo on them?"
"In the last one, we headed to LA to really bother Dead Boy," Alexander smirked, "The other you seemed to like it." They shared a chuckle as Xander headed into the shower. "I'll get your clothes, just get the stink off you."
An hour later they pulled up to Giles, noting that his car was still there. They headed up to the door and it opened, Giles on his way somewhere.
"Hey G-Man, we need to talk to about something Hellmouthy," Xander told him, Alexander off-putting the unintroduced Watcher, "Oh, that's me from another dimension, working for some gods, let's go inside for a minute."
After explaining the situation, and Xander's acceptance of their being two of him after this, they migrated to Giles research materials at the shop. It took only minutes to confirm what they'd been told about Toth.
"Indeed, it does appear to be the case Xander," Giles said, "But shouldn't your other self be included in the decision?"
"I suppose so, and since I seem to be the weak link here, the only downside I see is Anya."
"What's vengeance girl have to do with this," Alexander sighed.
"Well she's my girlfriend, she's going to be with the normal me, I guess, which won't be me."
"Well, you're lucky," Alexander sighed, "I usually just threaten her and pay her way out of state by now. And you get to be the hero while the other you gets to have the normal life your gal-pals seem determined to force on you."
"You know what? You're right, do your thing, Super Me…"
"Wait, please," Giles interrupted, "But what will happen to the other Xander when you do this?"
"Shouldn't have anything, though it would be best to have them together."
"Then let's adjourn to the construction site, shall we?"
At the site, a happy Xander was coming out of the trailer when he saw Giles, a large guy and himself, all waving at him to come over. After telling his boss he'd be back in just a minute, he walked down warily and had the situation explained.
"So, I'm me, and as I supposedly am me at my best, I'll just keep my life and go with it while the other me goes off on his own to bother Dead Boy and do the full time hero thing?"
"Basically," all three men before him responded.
"Okay, let's duck behind the trailer and do what you need to do."
"Thank you Alexander," the Valar both greeted him as he found himself again in the nice little natural setting from before, "You've done an excellent job and we just needed to tell you that."
"Well, um, your welcome," the Dimensional Traveler responded, "Does this mean I can return to my regularly scheduled program?"
"Indeed," the male assured him, "We just thought you should know we appreciate your efforts, even if you seemed to enjoy them."
"Besides," Freya added, "We needed to adjust your companions so that they're no longer genetically identical to the others. Once we saw the doubling, we felt that the genetic diversity of your little colony be given as great a diversity as possible."
"Oh, in that case, thank you for that," Alexander responded, "Um, anything else?"
"Not really," Frey told him, then gestured to the other Aesir.
"But here are rings from us," she told him as they appeared on his hands, the symbol of each as the signet, and the rings themselves as twin mini-drags, "Gifts so that you and others who can sense such things, will know you stand highly in Our Favor."
