Jenny/Janna...
A few days later it was Buffy's birthday. Everybody were having a surprise party for the Slayer at the bronze. Xander wanted to take care of everything. When his study hall came up he was going to visit Jenny. He would visit her just about every day at that time since she had a free period. As he approached the classroom he heard raised voices.
"You are Janna Kalderash, a gypsy. Any moment of happiness this girl gives Angelus is a moment too much. You must do what you have to, to take this girl from him," a man's voice yelled.
"I know uncle. I will I promise," Xander heard Jenny say. Making himself invisible just to make sure until the man passed.
"Mind telling me what that was all about," He asked his favourite teacher as he entered the Classroom.
"Xander! How much did you hear," She asked.
"Enough. I hope you don't plan on hurting Buffy despite her penchant for necrophilia," He stated.
"No but I don't know what to do. The clan is pressuring me," she lamented.
"I'm sure you'll figure out something. Not only are you beautiful but brilliant. I have faith in you," He told her.
"Thanks Xander. You are a good friend," Jenny told him as she gave him a hug.
Xander could feel her hard nipples as she pressed herself against him. They indicated to him that he was not the only one who thought Xander was more than a friend.
Later after School Jenny drove Buffy to the bronze while Xander went ahead to prepare the surprise. Apparently the Girls ran into some vamp trouble on the way because Buffy came crashing through the window while fighting a vamp. She dusted it but Oz, someone Willow had invited, witnessed the whole event.
"I know this is a lot to take in but vampires are real," Willow began.
"Actually it explains a lot," Oz calmly replied. Xander's Opinion of the guy rose a lot if he was able to stay that calm in such situations.
"What is all this," Buffy asked seeing the party stuff.
"Surprise." Giles belatedly stated.
"You guys did all this for me. Thank you," Buffy said with a smile.
She and Angel made sure that both of them were alright. Buffy had been apparently having some bad nightmares lately about Angel being killed by Drusilla so she even more on edge than usual.
"Somebody want to help me with this," Jenny asked carrying a wooden crate. Xander grabbed it for her and carried it over to the table. After opening it up a severed demon arm jumped out and started to choke Buffy. Standing right in the vicinity he grabbed it and wrestled it off of her.
"Good lord what is that," Giles asked.
"It can't be. She wouldn't," Angel whispered.
"Care to share," Cordy asked.
"It's a legend way before my time. His name is the judge. He was a demon that couldn't be killed," Angel answered.
"Yes they sent armies after him and most of them died. Finally they dismembered him and sent the parts to the farthest parts of the earth," Giles continued the story now that he knew the name of the demon.
"Drusilla's just crazy enough to put him back together," Buffy stated.
The Judge...
A plan was made to get the arm far away. Ms Calendar took her chance and suggested that Angel do it. Xander mentally applauded her for her good thinking. Buffy and Angel went alone to the docks. Xander didn't wanted to come along because he didn't care to see them kissing. It sickened him too much. As it turned out he should have gone because the pair was jumped with the box stolen. A research party ensued in the library. Xander was planning on giving it a couple of hours and then finding the right book for them since he knew from the database where the information was located. Xander went on a food run to pass the time to find the right book. As he came back Buffy and Angel were gone.
"Where are Buffy and Angel," He asked Giles.
"They went after the Judge parts to see if they could stop him from being reassembled."
Xander excused himself and misted home. By the time he had tracked them down they were in the sewers heading quickly away from where the Judge was. Xander went back and showed the right information to Giles at the high school. He assumed Buffy would be going straight home. Not finding out until later that he was dead wrong
The next he saw of Buffy was the next day at school. He could tell from her body language that she had been initiated to the world of sex. The thought of her and dead boy made him shudder but he kept quiet about it. Jenny had another talk with her uncle which was unpleasant to say the least. Her uncle pretty much told her that she shouldn't care if people die because vengeance was the only thing that matters. Jenny didn't agree with that philosophy.
Later that night in the Library during a research Party, Xander was there actually reading different things when he heard a Scream. Recognizing that scream anywhere he immediately walked out the door. He apparated to the hallway where he had sensed his childhood Friend to find her in the grip of Angel or was it Angelus? Concentrating a bit he couldn't sense the soul inside the Monster.
"Don't try anything Harris. I've got a message for Buffy," the vamp stated.
"Why don't you tell me yourself," Buffy spoke up from behind him.
"Well you see it's not really the kind of thing you can say. It involves you finding the dead body of your friend," Angelus stated.
Having Buffy distracting Angelus gave Xander the Time he needed. So before anybody could do anything else he remote apparated Willow behind him. Remote apparition was basically a really powerful switching spell where you usually switch air for the object.
"Are you ok," He asked Willow as Angelus took off running for the door after realizing he could take him any time he wanted to. The only reason he didn't kill him right then was because of Buffy.
"Yes. Thank you Xander," Willow said as she hugged him. A few minutes later they were in the library discussing the new turn of events.
"I don't understand what could have caused this. First the judge and now Angelus," Giles lamented.
"A moment of true happiness," Jenny mumbled in sudden realization. Xander winced at her slip but quickly covered it up by saying, "I've got a plan to handle the judge."
"What is it," Willow asked.
"It's a secret. I just need to be in front of him," He told the room.
"Well it's too late to do anything about anything tonight. We best all go home and get some rest," Giles stated.
Xander and Cordelia went home where they snuggled to chase away there worldly woes.
The next day Buffy stormed into school and grabbed Jenny in a choke hold while slamming her back into her desk. Xander wasn't there or he would have been very upset. Apparently by that slip the night before Buffy figured out that Jenny knew. Jenny admitted to knowing something. Buffy acted like the injured party but she did it to herself. There is a reason a relationship between a slayer and a vampire isn't a good idea. Buffy wanted Angel re-cursed but as Jenny tried to explain that magic was lost. Jenny took Buffy and Giles to see her uncle at the slayers insistence. Unfortunately they found him dead in his motel room. Angel had written "Was it good for you" in his blood over the bed. They came back to the library to get Xander so we could deal with the judge.
"Is there anything I can do to help," Jenny asked as the rest of them planned.
"Get out," Buffy replied.
"I just want to help," Jenny stated.
"She said get out," Giles spoke up.
"Cordy will you go with Jenny?" he said. Mentally he sent to his Girlfriend; "She needs some comfort right now."
"Sure love," she sent back.
They went to the warehouse where the vamps were usually holed up first but they weren't there.
"Where could they be," Buffy asked. Xander concentrated on accessing the Satellite remotely tried to locate them.
"They are at the mall," He spoke up.
"How could you know that," Willow asked.
"High body count," Oz answered for him.
"It is common sense," He finished.
As they got to the mall they found the judge pushing his power through a crowd of shoppers. Raising his palm at the Judge he shot a burst of force lighting into his chest.
"Foolish human you cannot harm me," he grunted as he raised his palm at Xander to return the favor.
"That was then this is now," Xander answered as they both let forth their power at the same time.
The judge's beam of yellowish lighting collided with Xander's blue one. This reminded Xander eerily of the memory of Harry connecting brother wands in the graveyard in his fourth year. Xander channelled more of his power into the force lightning until the judge began to lose ground. Finally the stream hit him and Xander pushed more power through it as the Judge began to scream. Having enough of the so called "Blue Smurf" Xander began tapping into his god power and literally made him disintegrate.
"Holy shit," Willow whispered as she witnessed what happened.
Buffy was already off after Angelus. Xander watched their fight through the wall and just had to shake his head in disappointment after she let him go. Luckily there wasn't anything left of the judge. It was curious that nobody in the mall seemed to remember the magical battle that just occurred. Those in the know are calling it the Sunnydale effect. The Citizens simply rationalize every odd thing away and ignore the supernatural completely.
Where, Werewolf...
January 27th 1998 Sunnydale High School Library…
"So you are sure it was a werewolf," Giles asked Xander again.
"Yes as I told you before. We spotted it while driving by last night." Xander answered.
"Now we just need to figure out who it is," Buffy spoke up.
"Well that should be pretty straightforward. One of the tricks left over from Harry was how to identify werewolves in human form by reading their aura," Xander muttered absentmindedly. Just then Willow and Oz walked in. Xander then asked Oz in a too casual Maner that made the others in the Room blink: "So Oz how long have you been a werewolf,"
"I'm a werewolf," he calmly asked.
"What," Willow practically screeched. The others filled them in on the events so far.
"It must have been when my cousin Jordy bit me," Oz concluded.
"Drink this," Xander ordered as he handed him a vial. He did and made a face at the nasty taste.
"What was that," Oz asked.
"Basically it will make it so that you can now transform into the werewolf at will but can keep your human mind," Xander answered.
"Wow thanks man," he replied gratefully.
"I don't remember that from the Harry Potter series," Willow spoke up.
"They weren't going to fit in a century of Harry Potter's life in seven books Willow," Xander finally revealed. Everybody stayed with Oz that night in the library to make sure the potion worked. It worked just fine. The only other thing of note was Angel killing one classmate by turning her into a vamp, which was dusted. Buffy was shaken about it but that was expected.
Quick Planing on Valentines Day made Xander take Cordy to Paris to the most romantic restaurant he could find. Then he took her shopping in all the best shopping districts around the world. Cordelia was all smiles. As it was her idea of a perfect time. Suffice it to say that they both didn't come out of the Bedroom for a very long time. Cordelia was trying to wear Xander out. He had a hard time getting rid of the goofy Smile he sported long time after that.
The next Day a very lasting and happy Memory came to pass as the Cordettes trying to ridicule Cordeila for dating Xander. Cordelia not having lost any of her Snarkiness tore into them with a vengeance. Xander was extremely proud of his lover for that. Standing up to her friends of many years and even calling Harmony a sheep required a major mustering of courage and change of world view for Cordy. What she later told him helped him understand her motivation a bit better.
"Xander love you have helped open my eyes to a wider universe. Just the knowledge that we are not alone in the universe is enough to motivate me, but you have allowed me to see it for myself. For that I can never thank you enough," she told her lover.
Angelus...
February 24th 1998…
Buffy having gotten increasingly broodier, got help from Xander. He spent most of the day helping her ward her house to prevent Angelus from getting back in. She was freaked out quite a bit by the drawings of her sleeping that Angelus was leaving on her pillow. Buffy needs to kill him herself to let go which was the only reason he hadn't done it already. Plus there seemed to be another reason niggling at the back of his mind but that he couldn't put a finger on right now.
Jenny Calendar was working late into the night on a spell. This spell had been long ago lost by her people after it was cast on Angelus to restore his soul. She saw this as her way to redeem herself in the eyes of the Scooby group. She no longer cared whether or not it got her back together with Giles. She had made quite a few attempts over the last several days to get back together with him but he blew her off at every turn.
It was just more confirmation that she should have taken the offer made to her on Valentines Day. Xander and Cordelia had taken her to lunch and basically offered to include her in their relationship. They didn't come right out and say everything but if she understood their hints right then she and Cordelia would share Xander equally. There would also apparently be the option for more women later.
Jenny Calendar had experimented with women before and wasn't completely opposed to the idea of being with the beautiful young Cordelia in that way. The only sticking point had been Rupert. The couple had understood and made clear that there was no pressure. Now she was quite sure that she wanted to be with them. She hadn't been around them much beyond their usual lunch in the last week or so as she worked on the soul curse.
She had kept it a secret. She wasn't completely sure why she was still working on it but she felt a niggling at the back of her mind that told her she should be remembering or realizing something. Just as she finished the translation and started to print it out she looked up and was terrified to see Angelus sitting at the back of her room.
As her terror struck she fingered the beautiful piece of jewellery that sat on her wrist. The ruby bracelet that Xander had given her. He had told her never to take it off. He told her that he would always know when she needed him most. After a brief scuffle she managed to run ahead of the pursuing vampire but she knew her time was short. Angelus was just toying with her.
She reached the top of the Stairs. She was sure she was about to die. Panic filled her as Angelus stepped out of the shadows and laughed at her. Just when she was sure the end would come she sensed Xander. He stepped forward and in a surprising display of strength punched Angelus clear through the nearby window. Angelus knew when he was outmatched and ran away.
"I will be the last thing you ever see Angelus," she heard in her mind as the voice seemed to radiate everywhere.
With a start she realized it was Xander as she ran forward and clung to him.
He held Jenny as her small frame was wrecked with sobs of relief. He stroked her back and comforted her as best he could. He was quite surprised when the alert from her bracelet came on that she was in trouble. If he hadn't been right in the middle of sex he would have been there sooner. "Maybe next time I'll apparate to my destination whether clothed or not." Xander thought. Jenny was so shocked that she didn't even notice the scenery change as they apparated to the bedroom at CRD.
A still naked and sweaty Cordelia allowed them both into the bed as soon as Xander mentally explained what had happened. All thoughts of any erotic events happening escaped the two lovers as they comforted the Romany techno pagan. Xander's little friend had other plans.
Jasmine...
After the Girls fell asleep Xander thought about everything and needed more Information. So he started a deep Meditation within himself to find the answer to what was niggling at the back of his mind. The Answer didn't sit well with him. He realized what had been going on for the last while. Leaning over he kissed both of his now girlfriends. In between sobs last night Jenny had explained that Rupert came by to try to make things up with her but she had told him he was too late. She wanted them.
"Where are you going love?" Cordelia sent over their link as she swam into consciousness.
"I'll be back in a bit. I've got to have a chat with a former Power That Be," He sent back.
"Ok but hurry back. Or I'll just have to start ravishing this delightful creature beside me without you if you take to long," she purred mentally as she pulled Jenny tighter against her. His resolve to take care of Business almost went out the Window at that point. But the things he had seen during his Meditation set his iron will into motion. The Moment he stepped out of the Room he disappeared.
Several planes above the ascended plane but several planes below that of the gods Xander searched. He appeared in the home of Jasmine, a banished PTB. Jasmine jumped in surprise at his arrival and almost instantly tried to escape. Xander's powers lashed out and held her in place.
"So why did you do it Jasmine?" he casually asked.
"I … I don't know what you are talking about Xander," she stuttered in barely concealed terror. Percy had given Xander the rundown on the local establishment before he left. The creator let the PTB's (Powers That Be) run the fight against evil in this reality while the older gods were busy in other realities. The powers like the ascended thought it easier to maintain balance through their lackeys instead of actually getting involved.
"I'll tell you what I think was the reason. You were making a bid to be born into our plane but you needed the approval of the powers or at least for them to look the other way. So 6as a favour for them you decided to make sure I didn't dust Angel. As it looked I was going to destroy their chosen champion before he ever made it to that stage of their plan," Xander spoke as he plucked the thoughts from her mind. Being a God, but not an old God, Xander was still stronger than the PTB's. The old God's where still several levels stronger than the PTB's. So Jasmine didn't have much of a Chance.
"So did you think you would get away with it just because I'm young? Well you thought wrong," Xander's voice took an icy tone as he took more information from her mind. Apparently her plan to be born involved Cordy and would have likely led to her death. She was already scheming ways to get him out of the picture. She could not have predicted an old god from another reality making him into one of his kind. As Xander's anger increased with the thickening of the plot so did his hold on her. Concentrating until he crushed her essence out of existence was enough to still his anger a little.
His hunger for Knowledge what the rest of the PTB's had planned for Angel did however not diminish. Jasmine knew to little about that. One more Reason not to transport direclty to Angelus and vaporize him. The other reason was the two Beauties waiting for him in the Bedroom. Arriving home he found out that Cordy had made true on her threat to start without him.
Smut Scene nonexisting (I can't write something like that. Can you?)
Familyfoundations...
Jenny Calendar was in a strange mood. Having one's view of the universe thrown upside down could have that effect on someone. She had suspected Xander might not have revealed the full extent of what he gained on Halloween but her suspicions were nothing compared to the reality. She had if she was honest with herself the best sex she had ever had with Cordelia and Xander. After that first night Xander had explained his dealings with aliens, gods, and how he felt about her.
Learning that the PTB had planned her death after using her to discover a soul curse for their champion made her feel cold inside. It was because of this Jasmine that she had felt compelled to complete the curse. Xander assured her that he destroyed all translations of the curse. The only copy of the spell in existence was in the amazing computer system in Xander's home.
The fact that Xander was a multi millionaire didn't even phase her after learning he was a freaking god. After he assured her that he had dealt with Jasmine she felt much better. She had gladly accepted her new lovers offer to move in with them. At Xander's suggestion she took the nanite injection he offered. According to him nothing short of a nuke dropped on her head at point blank range would kill her now.
When she asked if he was serious he said second thought's and told her that he would prepare something for her just in that case. After some time in his Lab he came out and handed her and Cordelia a new watch each. Apparently the watch was a personal shield that mixed in Alteran and wizard technology. It contained an expanded space for the power generation and massive shield emitters. It could apparently generate a shield the same strength as that on Atlantis but over a much smaller area if selected (which it normally was). According to Xander he knew of no weapon that would be able to penetrate these shields without taking out the solar system the shield wearer happened to be in.
Jenny had found the alien technology fascinating and started reading through all she could on the subject. With a direct mental link to the massive CRD base repository at all times through her nanites that meant a lot. Apparently things were heating up on the galactic front so when Xander had to concentrate on that she and Cordy had helped out the Scoobies.
Der Kindestod...
Buffy had been admitted to the hospital with a fever. A demon that only kids could see had been terrorizing the sick children. With nanite enhanced strength and an Alteran beam weapon that could punch through any substance on earth that wasn't shielded in several seconds they made quick work of the demon. It was simple to alter their eyes with their nanites to see like a child.
Xander had fashioned an Alteran handheld healing device for when they didn't want to use nanites. They used it to heal the sleeping Buffy of her flu.
While they were doing that Xander had been busy monitoring the SGC. SG-1 had snuck off world to stop a predicted Goauld attack. Xander's long range sensor array was already picking up the two ships approaching earth from different directions.
Apophis comes knocking...
March 6th 1998 High Earth Orbit…
Xander watched from a cloaked Alterion as his sensors followed SG-1 around on the Goa'uld Hatac. After master Bratac revealed himself to SG-1 in the prison brig he decided that was his cue to take action. Activating the ships communication system he broadcasted directly into the Goa'uld computers.
"Attention Goa'uld vessel this is Captain Harris of the Alterion. This planet is under my protection. Surrender now or be destroyed," He ordered. The reply was almost immediate.
"You dare challenge your god. You will be destroyed," a sneering first prime said as he broadcast his video. Xander's reply was almost as quick as an energy beam weapon lanced out and struck the shields of the hostile ship that SG-1 wasn't aboard. In reality it was all an illusion. Xander did possess such a beam weapon. He even had somethings that would put even anything the Asgard had come up with by now to shame. But he wanted that ship. In reality the remote transportation technology transported every Jaffa and Goauld off the ship and into the ship's brig.
The brig used wizard expansion technology to expand itself as needed, as did most rooms in the ship. The Hatac itself was swallowed up by a hole that suddenly appeared in space. The hole was a pocket dimension generated by the Computer on the Alterion. This was all covered from the sensors of the other ship by a hard light illusion field. The same type of field prevented any sensor penetration by the Hatac.
Immediately the other Hatac started to retreat. Another beam which was real this time lashed out and disabled their engines but nothing else. Again the remote transporter activated but this time brought SG-1, Master Bratac, and his followers into cargo hold. The remote transporter was loosely based off of the system the Alterans originally gave to the Asgard but rarely used due to potential for privacy invasion.
The Asgard version was based off of quantum teleportation within the dimension. Using Alteran tech to scan as he apparated, Xander found out apparition is the use of a personal artificial wormhole. A switching spell is the same thing except done remotely. He was able to duplicate the effects with the Alterion. Thereby creating remote transportation without the need for the bright flash of light and ringing noise of the Asgard transporters.
SG-1 was planning how to destroy the two ships about to attack their home planet when they were suddenly transported out of the brig into what looked like a cargo hold.
"Carter what was that," O'Neill asked his second in command.
"I'm not sure sir. It felt sort of like a wormhole but I'm not sure," Sam Carter answered.
"Very good Captain Carter," a dark haired young man said as he walked into the room.
"It was in fact a form of wormhole," Xander explained.
"Who are you kid," O'Neill asked seeing how young Xander was.
"I Colonel O'Neill am the reason why the earth isn't being destroyed from orbit right now. My name is Captain Harris and you are on board the Alterion, my ship." Xander calmly stated.
"And just why did you help us," Jack asked suspiciously, having learned a long time ago that nobody does anything for nothing.
"I'm rather fond of your species. I find human females fascinating," Xander said as he glanced over at Carter. Samantha Carter shivered as she felt this young man's eyes sweep over her body. She was surprised when she realized that the shudder wasn't of revulsion but that of an orgasm. She managed to keep a straight face as she wondered if he was able to make her orgasm with just a look.
Xander could barely suppress a smirk as Samantha Carter managed to keep a straight face after the rather strong orgasm he gave her. He could have had her on the ground and twitching in half a second from more pleasure than she has ever felt in her life. That wasn't the mission though. The mission was to attract her to him. Both him and Cordy wanted her from the moment they saw her picture in the SGC personnel files.
Reading of her exploits coupled with the fact that she possesses the mind of a genius and they knew they had to have her. When Jenny joined the two Sexmaniacs and read the same that they did she wholeheartedly agreed with the choice.
"So let me get this straight. You saved the earth because you like women," O'Neill asked in disbelief.
"Of course. I am a teenager after all," he answered with a grin.
"Unbelievable. How exactly does a teenager manage to come into a ship like this and what species are you," Jack asked.
"That's complicated on both accounts. Suffice it to say that you wouldn't believe me. My species is several but I started out as human," Xander stated but refused to give out anymore detail.
"Teal'c if you would please shoot me with your staff weapon," he asked the Jaffa. That request garnered Xander some incredulous looks but Teal'c did as asked at his nod. He fired and the response was one of shock as the bolt impacted in his side with no apparent change besides the charring of the Uniform.
"Hmmm…that tickled," he announced.
"What are you," Sam asked in surprise and interest.
"A friend. I'd really like to become friends with you Captain Carter. On that note I've got a bit of a gift for you," he spoke with a smile as he lead them onto the bridge.
Pointing to remaining Hatac O'niell blinked and Daniel asked in surprise: "You're giving us a ship?"
"Sure. Why not? It's not like I need it," Xander answered.
"Thank you," Jack finally managed to say once he got over his shock.
"Now I've installed a translation program into the computer system so that everything will appear in English. Also I may just have installed a cloaking field generator so that the ship can become invisible and disabled all failsafe technologies that would lead to the ship self destructing without the proper code from Apophis periodically," he informed them.
"Speaking of Apophis what happened to old snake face," Jack asked as it appeared Carter was absorbing everything their new friend was telling them.
"Oh he's in my brig. Do you want him," He asked curiously tilting his head a bit. He had already let the nanites extract all useful knowledge from him.
"Sure," Jack answered with a grin.
"As for your friend Scara I've taken the liberty of removing Chlorel. He is recovering just fine. You will find the address for the planet your wife is on Dr. Jackson in your new ship's database. If you need to remove the Goauld from her I suggest talking to the only Goauld I've left on that ship. His name is Anabral. He is actually not a Goauld but a Tokra. They are a faction that don't take hosts against their will. I find them fascinating. His people should be able to help you safely remove Amonet. Am I forgetting anything?" I asked aloud.
"Thank you," Daniel finally managed to get out.
"There are good Goauld," Jack asked in surprise.
"You're welcome and they are fairly good," Xander answered. "I had to convince him not to kill himself. Apparently when they are discovered in their spying roles they commit suicide so that even a sarcophagus can't revive them. There is also one of those on the ship I left you,"
"Thank you," Sam said excitedly.
"No problem," he told her with a grin giving her another orgasm. This time Samantha Carter was sure the handsome young man just gave her an orgasm at will.
"Now let's get you set up," He told them as the remote transporter took them aboard the new USAF-Hatac. After leading them to the bridge, Teal'c took control of the ship without much trouble.
"Captain Carter how about I show you the modifications I made to the ship's systems," Xander offered.
"Sure and call me Sam," the hot blonde instructed.
As the two walked off the bridge Xander could feel her wanting to ask questions.
"Just ask your questions Sam," Xander told her.
"Do you have the power to make me orgasm at will," she asked with a blush.
"Yes and I've given you that power as well," He told her.
"What do you mean," she asked.
"Think of me in a sexual way." Xander stated. Sam did as instructed imagining his cock thrusting in and out of her and immediately shuttered with an intense orgasm. She stumbled but Xander caught her.
"How did you do that," she asked while taking deep breaths.
"Nanites that trigger your pleasure center every time you think of me. You'll find that the more experimental the thought the harder they will make you climax," He told her as she was able to stand on her own again. Sam didn't exactly know what to say to that. It wasn't something you exactly hated. The ability to give yourself an orgasm at will even if in such an unusual way was amazing. Sam hadn't exactly been having sex a lot lately. In fact she hadn't gotten any since breaking up with her fiancé Jonas Hanson in the academy.
"Why are you doing this," Sam finally settled on asking.
"I'll be honest with you. My girlfriends and I are very attracted to you and we want you. I just thought I'd tell you as food for thought. There is no pressure," Xander answered her.
"Girlfriends," she asked.
Projecting an Image of his two lovers above his Hand he said:"Yes. I have two girlfriends. Jenny, Cordelia, and myself are all immortal. It would get boring with just one partner after a long time," Sam looked at the two females he was showing her and found herself attracted to them. She had experimented a bit with females in the academy and wasn't exactly opposed to the idea. Handing her a small handheld Device Xander told her: "Now I suspect you'll have questions so I'm going to give you this,"
Examining the Device with a fascination that Xander had expected she asked: "What is this?"
"It can act as an audio communications device over any distance. Place it beside your computer and start typing on the keyboard and the text will be transmitted to me. It is basically a very small but powerful computer. You can load any program you want onto it by loading them onto your computer while they are connected. Setting one beside the other will connect them. It also contains the schematics and detailed manufacturing instructions for every technology on this ship," Xander informed her of the basic capabilities. "Also it acts as a portable scanner. The instructions on the use of this feature and all the features are inside,"
"Thank you," a shocked Sam Carter said.
"One more gift," he told her with a grin which she quickly returned.
"One more?" she asked. Handing her a watch shield but not telling her what it did no matter how much she begged. She would figure it out soon enough. She did promise to never take it off. Enchanting both objects with the same charms that Percy had on his sword riptide, mase sure that she would never lose them. They would always reappear in her pocket of the clothes she was wearing. They were charmed to be virtually indestructible as well. They were soon back on the bridge.
"Well I'll be leaving now," Xander announced.
"Wait how do we contact you," Daniel asked.
"Oh I'll be around," He answered before disappearing. Sam had agreed not to tell the others of what he had given her. Xander was sure she would eventually have to tell them but not until she used them in front of them. He was fine with that. It's not like anybody could take the technology from her with the charms he put on them.
Aurelius and Terrakans...
Over the following weeks Xander was extremely busy. Supervising the upgrades to the Hatac he captured from Apophis took some time. The ship was renamed Muliebris which is Latin for female. While working and Supervising the Work on Muliebris he had time to Meditate. While doing that he discovered something very interesting and useful concerning the different Powers he had. Percy's and Harry's Powers didn't work exactly like the ones from the Alterans. While the Alternas were powerful, they didn't have enough personal power to conjure things let alone permanent conjuration. With the nanite injection he could manipulate the complexity of what he was able to conjure. It was possible that he could duplicate anything.
That discovery came with its own benefits. The Vacuum Energy Modules where some of the few things he hadn't figured out how to make. But with this new discovery he could duplicate them. That included the Vacuum Energy Modules (VEM). But the Power needed for just one of them was almost to much. So he could only duplicate one of them each day without him being totally out of power. So everyday that nothing big was going on he made one. He tinkered with his Inventions constantly. Amongst them was a new Shield Watch. It used three of the VEM. The Muliebris was getting three of the shielding systems that the watches incorporated. The multiple redundancy shield system over such a small volume of space was so powerful Xander calculated it would even withstand the blast of a supernova.
While Xander was busy with his ship he let Jenny and Cordelia handle things with the Scoobies. During Dinner he listened as they told him about the Things that they had been working on. One of them was an exorcism of a couple of ghosts. Another one was the Coach of the Swimteam that had mutated the swimmers making them into Creatures of the Black Lagoon, just with a lot of added Teeth. The last one they talked about was Angel. Xander was already frowning on the inside. But he listened very closely when they said he had uncovered an ancient demon capable of swallowing the world. Another Big Bad he thought. He actually took the time to come out of his workshop for that.
Xander had worked with the Nanites for some time. He had figured out how to make a Human Form Nanite Construct HFNC. He had not made them very intelligent. Just enough to follow simple Orders. He had them all but one working on different Projects. The one not working on Projects he had programmed to be like him and attend his Classes. The Connection between the Constructs and Xander made it sure that he could connect with them direct and take over there actions. He did it with the one in School. Making sure that nobody but his Girlfriends knew he never attended the School himself very often. Starting on Muliebris most of his HFNC's started working on the Ship. Being Male had him make everyone but the one in School sexy Female. Very much to the Humor of his Girlfriends.
After a long time in his Lab he attended a day of class himself. Angel sent a calling card in the form of a vamp right in the middle of class. She burst into flame after delivering her message that if Buffy didn't meet him in the graveyard that night he would kill a bunch of people.
"Xander, Kendra I want you to stay here just in case," she told Xander and the Jamaican slayer later in the library.
Kendra had shown up when her watcher predicted there was a great evil arising. Xander had other plans than listening to Buffy. As soon as the Blonde left he was following her invisibly. Watching the Fight between her and Angel for a bit was entertaining. Buffy had him on the Ropes. But then the shit hit the fan. Xander was waiting for Buffy to finish of Angel. But the Monster called it.
"Boy you really aren't into this," he taunted Buffy. He was right. Just as Xander was about to step in he was hit with a spell. Xander shrugged it off but found him surrounded by five Tarakan mages.
"Well it looks like Angel called out the big guns," was his only thought as he began to fight the mages.
"Xander we need you it's a diversion," was the short Message he got from Cordy before he could sense she was fighting for the lives of her friends. No vamp was actually going to harm her or Jenny with their shield watches but the same didn't hold true for the rest.
"You always think it's about you," Xander suddenly heard Angelus laughing while telling Buffy. As she took off Xander lashed out with one of his new toys. He had constructed a pair of light sabers using Alteran technology and the knowledge left behind by Anakin. Force pulling two of the mages at him he severed their heads before apparating behind the other three in quick succession to do the same.
"This beats riptide any day," Xander smirked as he shut off the red and green light sabers.
Noticing Angelus was getting away didn't sit well with Xander. But he apparated behind him and hit him with force lightning mixed with the same power he used on Jasmine. He burned the demonic essence out of existence. Angelus was too much of a liability to let live.
"Rest in peace Liam," Xander stated before apparating to the library with all haste.
After arriving to a scene of carnage. His mind was going over everything in short order. There was vamp dust everywhere. Apparently Angelus had sent quite a few vamps at the Scoobies. Xanders Girls were still fighting while everybody else was down. He lashed out with his power and a wall of fire expanded out the destroyed back wall but did not harm any living thing. Every vamp in the room exploded to dust.
Running over to Kendra he saw that her heart wasn't beating. Looking at her he could tell her soul had yet to leave her body but the slayer spirit had already moved on. Placing his hand on her heart he channelled a small bit of force lighting into her heart while the nanites in his Body repaired her slit throat. Her chest arched as her eyes flew open and she breathed again.
Information from the nanites told him there was no brain damage. The slayer spirit genetically enhanced the wielder. All it needed to do was pass through a slayer to permanently enhance them. Jenny and Cordelia were already working on the others. Willow had a book case pushed on her and was in a coma. The nanites went to work and healed her. She was up and fine within a few minutes. Oz too was brought around quickly. When Snyder tried to come in and sick the police on everybody, Xander sent them all away with a Jedi mind trick.
Buffy arrived in time to see the aftermath. She had managed to rescue Giles from an escaping Drusilla and Spike. The two master vamps had fled instead of having to fight Buffy.
"Great now we still have to stop Angelus," Buffy lamented.
"No we don't Buffy. I finished him off after you left. That was Angelus. Angel or Liam is resting peacefully in the afterlife," Xander informed her. She sat down heavily in a chair. Willow hugged her as tears began to fall down her cheeks. Everybody else looked relieved that it was finally over. A few hours later…
A quick hunting trip to take care of Spike and Drusilla was all it took for Xander. The two master vamps were easy pickings as they tried to flee town. He simply obliterated their car from a cloaked Alterion before taking off with Acathla (the world sucking demon) in the Cargohold. Xander dropped it off into the nearest black hole to make sure it wasn't coming back.
"So tell me what you are really feeling," He asked Buffy a few hours later as they sat out back of her house to talk.
"I understand what you did. It hurts a lot. I don't think I would have been able to finish him in the end," Buffy told him with tears in her eyes.
"I realize now that you shouldn't have had to. Nobody should have to kill their own lover, or the demon wearing their face. It's the same with friends. I would know…Jessie," Xander stated trailing off. Buffy hugged Xander crying. With tears still flowing she told him that she needed a Vacation.
"You need to get away from the Hellmouth. I have an apartment in LA. It has a fully stocked pantry. You can stay there for the summer no expenses," Xander told her.
"Thanks Xander. You have always been a good friend," answered back.
"No problem," He told her before heading home to the girls.
Faith...
October 13th 1998 The Bronze…
It was the first night Xander left his lab in quite some time and he was spending it with his friends. Buffy had returned from LA not long ago. Her welcome home party had turned into a zombie fest due to a mask Joyce hung on her bedroom wall. The demonic mask was dealt with by some HFNCs Xander sent out to track down the source of the zombie disturbance. Equipped with a small vacuum module powered multi purpose energy generator (spell creator) they flamed all the zombies they ran into before using the equivalent of a killing curse on the mask.
"Check out the hottie and her disco Dave on the dance floor," Cordelia pointed out to the group.
"When was the last time that guy danced, the 70's?" Xander asked.
"I don't think that guy thrives on sunshine," Buffy answered as she got up to follow the potential vamp and victim out.
"Where'd she go," Buffy asked as everybody finally got outside.
"That way," Xander answered as multiple senses told him of a fight going on in the indicated direction.
"It's ok I got it. You're Buffy right," the hot leather clad brunette asked as the vamp charged her from behind.
"I'm Faith," she informed as she head butted the vamp that had just grabbed her from behind before turning on it and beating the crap out of it.
"Must be the slayer that was called after the near miss with Kendra," Xander guessed.
"Can I borrow that," Faith asked a dumbstruck Buffy as she grabbed the stake out of the blonde's hand.
"Thanks B couldn't have done it without you," she stated as she handed Buffy the now used stake back.
"Don't you look tasty," Faith purred as she walked past Xander.
"I want her," Cordy whispered into his ear.
"I know. I can tell," He told her as he could sense her arousal over the bond they shared.
"So why were you called here," Willow asked a few minutes later after they listened to Faith's history, well a bit of it.
"I wasn't. There was this watcher retreat so I skipped out and came here," Faith explained.
Xander could tell it was a lie. There was something about Faith that screamed she was running from something. He was determined to find out what had a slayer scared so bad.
"I figured this was my chance to meet the infamous Buff and compare notes," Faith said.
"So Xander is it true you can shoot lightening out of your hand? I heard about it through my watcher that you used it to defeat this judge," Faith asked.
"Yeah it was an interesting time. I think we caught it on video. I'll have to show you sometime," He answered her with his best smile which she returned.
She had already informed us that Slaying gets her hungry and horny. Xander instantly started thinking in different ways. From there the conversation was spent getting to know everbody. When the group broke up for the night he offered Faith a ride to where she was staying. When He found out that she was staying at the Sunnydale motor lodge Him and Cordy both agreed that it just wouldn't do.
"Faith Cordy and I have a couple extra rooms at our place. You are more than welcome to stay in one of those," He offered.
"How much we talking here," Faith asked thinking quickly.
Xander Harris is reported to be the slayer of one of the toughest demons known to man. The judge was no pushover. She heard he had dusted Angelus as well. That guy was a real piece of work. Faith had been on the run from Kakistos for the past month or so ever since he killed Linda. Everywhere she went Kakistos seemed to find her.
She knew the rule that you had to be invited didn't apply for motels and hotels so she definitely wasn't safe here. Plus if anybody could take Kakistos it would be this Xander Harris. She wasn't naïve enough to think there wouldn't be a price. She would most likely have to do sexual favors for him but that was nothing new. Faith had to do many things to survive over the years before she met Linda. She swore after she became a Slayer she wouldn't do that anymore but that was before she met someone actually much stronger than her. Kakistos scared her. At least this Xander was cute.
"Ok," Faith agreed finally.
"Go grab your stuff and we'll be waiting," He told her with a smile. Faith was soon back as she didn't have much stuff in order to travel quicker.
"I should warn you that we live with Xander's other girlfriend Jenny. It's kind of a secret for now since she is still his teacher. If it came out it wouldn't be a huge deal since Jenny doesn't actually need the job but we'd still like her close by to help," Cordelia explained.
"Damn X. You've got two girlfriends! Where do I sign up," Faith joked.
"Don't volunteer if you aren't willing," Cordelia answered only half joking, a fact Faith picked up on. When the arrived at the CRD complex and drove into the garage Faith couldn't help but whistle in appreciation.
"Damn X and C where did you get the money for all this," Faith asked.
"It involves a chaos mage and dressing up as several very interesting characters," Xander answered the newest slayer.
"I heard about that but I thought you just went as Harry Potter. How does a wizard get this much dough," Faith asked curiously.
"Well that Harry Potter was over a century old. Wizards weren't as ignorant a century later than in the books due mostly to the efforts of Harry and his wife Hermione. Naturally the computer technology was far more advanced than it is now. I may just have happened to gain access to the accounts of several very wealthy criminals and cleaned them out," He told her with a conspiratorial grin.
Faith busted up laughing at the story as they both showed her to her room. Faith was amazed at how nice the room was. She even had her own bathroom! When you live on the streets for a while this room was a palace.
"Are you sure I don't owe you anything," she asked sultrily as she walked up and grabbed Xanders shirt while running a finger up and down his chest.
"Faith if you are thinking you have to trade sexual favours to stay here you don't. I'm not saying I'm not interested because I am. I very much am. I just don't force people into situations like that. The only thing I want from you is an honest answer as to why you really came to Sunnydale," he told her as he sat down on the bed.
Faith looked pained at first but seemed to reach a decision quickly.
Faith knew it would come out eventually and if this was the price it cost to stay here she would pay it. If she wanted his help with Kakistos she was going to have to tell him the problem first.
"My watcher Linda was killed by Kakistos in front of me about a week ago," she started.
"You don't have to say anymore Faith. I know who Kakistos is and I imagine he is chasing you. It's his MO. You'll be safe here, just get some rest and we'll figure how to best help you in the morning." Xander told her quietly.
She gave Xander a grateful look for not having to explain further and for not throwing her out. He had the strong urge to find from her mind who made her give them sexual favours for help and do some ass kicking but he refrained. As he walked out of her room he felt her eyes on his ass. He turned back and looked to see her smirking at him.
"What you can't blame a girl for looking," she called after him.
"No we can't," called out the voice of Jenny and Cordelia at the same time followed by laughter.
