They had just come back to the library and Xander sat down then pulled Willow onto his lap. "Calm down," he said as he stroked her arm. "You did it to save me." The other looked over.
"Is she alright?" Asked Buffy, "What happened?" Willow started to cry.
"I Killed Someone!" She said she buried her face into Xander's shoulder. He pats her back.
"Sh, it's okay." He said, "You did it to save my life. Don't be afraid, it's the price we pay. The only easy day was yesterday." He kissed her on the forehead, "She killed my father." Everyone gasped, "he knocked out a cop, grabbed her gun, and was about to kill me. She had my gun and fired on him. Head and heart." Giles looked somber at Willow.
"If you need to talk about it, I'm always here." He said.
"So am I," said Buffy.
"You know you can count on me and my team." Willow nodded.
"Oh yeah," said CJ3. "Welcome to the team."
Later they headed back to the house and he introduced them to Victoria and Veronica. "I'll make some dinner," said Xander so he did as everyone was trying to calm Willow down.
"Willow, sweetie." Said Victoria, "There are times we have to take down bad guys like that to save others." Veronica sat down on the other side of the girl.
"Yeah, I'm sure that Xand told you he had to kill people to advance through the tournament?" Willow looked at the former stripper in shock. "Yes, Xand had to kill the bad guys but I'm sure he didn't enjoy it and he didn't let it get to him. XANDER?"
"YEAH?" He said.
"HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU HAD TO KILL YOUR OPPONENTS?" Xander walked into the living room. He was in an apron and was drying his hands.
"Well, I didn't feel good about it. But I knew I didn't have a choice. This is why I said 'Don't let it get to you'. There are going to be times that you'll have to kill to save people, I'm not saying enjoy it but you'll have to kill to save a life."
"I understand, I guess." She said. Xander kissed her on the forehead and then went back into the kitchen to make dinner Buffy got up and followed him.
He had a whole 1/3 of beef on a table and was making it ready to cook. It was already marinated and was ready for the grill. "Xander?" She said he looked over to her, "You want to talk about it?"
He shrugged his shoulders as he went to the patio, "what's there to talk about?" He set the tray on the table and handed her a soda.
"Everything Xander," she said. "I want to know everything about my Xander-shaped friend." Xander chuckled and started to put steaks onto the grill.
"Okay, what do you want to know first?"
Later dinner was ready and Buffy had looked at Xander with new eyes filled with love and caring. "Thanks for the help." Buffy smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek
"You're welcome Xand."
"DINNER'S READY!" Everyone went to the table and started to eat. After a great dinner, they continued to talk some more about his life.
"Well," said Buffy. "I have to go on patrol and go home." Xander handed her a walkie-talkie.
"Use that to contact us if you need some backup." He said.
"Okay," she said and kissed him on the cheek and took off.
"She's going to have to tell, her mom about this and soon." Said Xander the others nodded.
The next morning, Xander and the others were going in and the other students gathered up to them. Cordelia had gone over to him, "Hi, Xander." She said.
"Oh hi Cordy," he said. "How are you?"
"I'm fine," She said. "Did you save the realms by beating a bloodthirsty tyrant?"
"Yep," he said as they walked to class. That was when Snyder and the jocks had started to come over to them.
"HARRIS!" Snyder said.
"Oh no, what does he want now?" Xander said.
"I don't care if you saved a cat in a tree," said Snyder. "You are still a delinquent and now I have the means to expel you." He was happy now, "Oh yes. So long Harris, goodbye. I got you now. For beating up an elite athlete you are now hereby expelled from Sunnydale High School."
"I'm expelled?" He said.
"That's Right Expelled!"
"On what grounds?" Just then Larry had limped over to them, he had a black eye, some bruises, and was bleeding. Xander just rolled his eyes. "Really? Okay, what did I do to you?"
"Oh like you don't know!" He said.
"Larry, I wouldn't be asking if I did now would I?"
"Fine, first you shined your flashlight into my eyes and hit me with it, then hit me on the side of the head with your nightstick and finally tased me! Have you no honor?" The others rolled their eyes.
'That sounds like Stryker's X-Ray.' "Evidence?" 'Surely they aren't that stupid to steal from HQ.' But alas, they were because Xander's nightstick, flashlight, and taser were in front of him. "I can't believe how stupid you two are. You do know that theft is a crime right? What's the matter? Jealous that I'm saved your sorry asses and so now you have to steal from me so you can frame me and expel me? Well, we'll just see what the school board thinks and I am going to be pressing charges against the both of you." Larry was now worried.
"You didn't say anything about him calling the cops!" He whispered.
"Don't worry, he'll just call Sunnydale PD and he'll be the one going to jail for assault. No one embarrasses me and gets away with it!" But Xander wasn't calling Sunnydale, he was calling California Highway Patrol. He had got this connection with them for helping stop a bank robber on their way to Sunnydale so after the sheriff set up the meeting with the governor and Senator, they gave him the phone number to the Highway Patrol headquarters and told him to call if they needed any help.
So he did, "Hello Sheriff?... Hi, it's Xander." Snyder and Larry were now sweating bullets, "Yeah I need some help here... Theft, my school principal had stolen some of my equipment just so he could place blame on me beating on one of his prize students and if you ask me, he's no prize...Yeah, I'm going to press charges...Oh, you got a couple of officers here? Could you send them over and also could you call the governor and Senator and tell them I'd like to meet with them next week? ...Thank you and we shall be expecting them soon. Okay, thanks goodbye." He hung up and glared at Snyder. "Couple of officers are coming to take you both down. But, not only am I going to press charges but I did warn you that I would sue you. So, I'll see your ass in court! Let's go peeps." He said.
"No wait, maybe we can make a deal!" But every member of his team left but not before they kicked him in the ribs or groin. Xander was on his phone to the Elder Gods and told them what happened they connected him to a lawyer by the name of Matt Murdock.
He told Mr. Murdock what had happened and he told Xander that he had a case. Later Buffy and company went over to Xander's after school.
"Xander," said Giles. "What happened?"
"Snyder had expelled me for beating up on Larry because he attacked my friends."
"Of course."
"So I'm going to sue him and I just called the school board. I told them about his actions in the school."
"If you need any witnesses, we're right behind you Xander." Said Buffy the others nodded.
"Thanks, guys."
Meanwhile, Matt 'Daredevil' Murdock was on the phone talking to Nick Fury; director of S.H.I.E.L.D. /So you found him?/ Said Nick.
"Yes," said Matt. "He's living in a town named 'Sunnydale' it's in California."
/Well then, keep an eye on him. See if you can get some Intel on him and the place./
"I'll make sure you'll get the reports."
/Thanks Matt./
"You're welcome, Fury." So he hung up and got ready to go to Sunnydale.
Meanwhile, a very handsome blond young man was thinking about his half-brother and wanted to see him and introduce himself to him. 'I'll send him a letter first and see if he'd want to see me.' He thought, so he went to his computer and started to write an email to him.
While he was doing that, a beautiful woman found out her nephew was home and had returned from where ever he was and stopped a demented tyrant from destroying the world after he turned Earth into an 'all you can eat' buffet. 'I must see him and if I ever see that bastard, Tony, I'll kill him!'
The next few days were smooth, the RWF helped out where and when they can, with Xander being coach. His case was going smoothly, he had some of the others find something on Snyder and it was good. He found out that, he hated the entire Harris clan for some asinine reason and was trying to vent his control onto the others so they could hate him. But what he hadn't counted on was Xander's victory in Mortal Kombat and gaining the Elder Gods' powers and favor.
So he had no choice but to use a trumped-up charge and expel him. "Now he's going to lose his job over this," Xander said, he looked up and noticed that he had an email. "Who would be sending me an email?"

'Wow, I have an elder half-brother.' Xander thought. 'I'll write him back.'

After Xander sent the email, he received a phone call. He picked up, "Realms Watchers Force, this is commander Xander Harris, how can I help you?" He said.
/Xander, it's me./ Said a female voice.
"Aunt Emma?"
/STOP CALLING ME THAT!/
"Sorry," he chuckled. "What's up?"
/I've been looking for you for four years./ Emma said, /to find out that my beloved nephew saved the realms. I'm so proud of you. I want to come see you so you can tell me everything./
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you let me give you the address to the building." So he did and after she hung up, Xander got up and started to fix some dinner for the team.
