Cordelia shimmered in with the human from her premonition beside her. She glanced at Xander and then frowned. "Xander? What's wrong?" She asked.
"We've ended up in bizarro land." He told her. "Apparently you're a guy here and I'm a girl here."
"How?" Cordelia squeaked.
"Willow once told me that all humans, all mammals actually, start out as female. About two months or so into the pregnancy, male hormones make a boy. I didn't believe her."
"Okay." Cordelia said dazedly. "So where are our counterparts and we need to get this idiot to Giles. Giles is your Watcher here, right? Or is it Wesley?"
"Giles was fired after my Cruciamentum." Buffy said. "Wesley is my Watcher."
"Yours and Faith's." Xander reminder her. "Since she's the official Slayer and all."
"We're both the Slayer, technically." Buffy said.
"No, Faith's the Slayer. The title belongs to her because the line passes through her. Which makes you a dead end." Xander pointed out. "So, you said local us used to date. Why aren't they dating anymore?"
"Because Alex is wondering if she's gay after this thing with Willow." Buffy told them.
"Oh, for gods sake!" Cordelia exclaimed. "Not this again."
"Your Xander wonder if he's gay?" Faith asking, eyeing him.
"No, I never did." He answered. "She's referring to the Willow thing. Does the Willow thing involve local me and Willow kissing and getting caught?"
"Yes, it does." Buffy informed them.
"This will have to wait." Cordelia said. "On account of this is Deputy Mayor Finch and he has information about the Mayor. Information we can confirm. So I suggest you call your version of the Scooby gang together and hear what he's got to say. Then we figure out what to do with Willow and her stupid tricks."
"What do you mean Willow and her stupid tricks?" Buffy asked angrily, ready to defend her best friend.
"Because we know of at least three realities where she used Magic to break me and Cordy up. In one reality she did it twice." Xander told her.
"Willow would never do that!" Buffy protested.
"Yes, she would. Given that she thinks she knows better then me how my life should be run." Xander answered. "Something she doesn't have a right to do, but it doesn't stop her from doing it anyway."
"She just worries about you, Xander. That's all." Buffy told him.
"No, that's not all, Buffy. Willow obsesses about it. To the point of lunacy. But Cordy is right, this conversation has to wait. Do you guys use the library for your meetings?"
"Yes, since Giles works there." Buffy said.
"Then let's go. You can call everyone and I mean everyone, including the local versions of us."
"Cord hasn't really been a member of the group since the whole thing with Willow." Buffy pointed out.
"Trust me, he's going to want to be there." Cordelia told them. "I sure as Hell would."
"Alright let's go, the sooner we get there, the sooner we can get this cleared up." Buffy agreed.
"Xander, are you going to be alright?" Cordelia asked.
"Yeah, as long as I keep my head, I'll be fine."
"What does that mean?" Faith asked. "Does the Magic get out of your control or something?"
"No, it has nothing to do with Magic and Willow's the one who keeps loosing control of Magic, not me."
"Willow's never lost control of Magic." Buffy protested again.
"That you know of." Cordelia told her. "We can get there faster if we teleport, Xander."
"Yeah, we can. You take him, I'll take them." He said, indicating Buffy and Faith.
"You can teleport too?!" Buffy exclaimed.
"I can do alot of things, Buffy. Do you doubt the local versions as much as you doubt me? Because our Buffy did."
"Well, she doesn't really do that much, not like Willow is with studying Magic."
"Did she save your life with CPR after forcing Angel to show her the way to the Master's lair?"
"Yes, to the CPR. Who's Angel? She got Darla to show her the way to the Master's lair."
"Darla." Xander said in a flat voice. "That bitch Darla is here. Did local me have a crush on you?"
"No, but Cord did."
"Are you involved with Darla?"
"Yes, what's it to you? We're careful so she doesn't lose the soul again."
"Oh gods. This place is beyond bizarre. Listen to me, Buffy. The curse is on the vampire, not the soul. The curse didn't break because of sex with the soul, it broke because the vampire got something out of it. And whatever that something is, you could break the curse again, whether you have sex or not. Giles would know that if he bothered to do his fricken job."
"What do you mean? How is he not doing his job?"
"He should've verified the claims of a curse and the curse itself as soon as it was mentioned. If he had alot of people would be alive right now. Including the baby Willow accidentally murdered when she yanked the soul from whom it had reincarnated into when she redid that damn curse!" Xander yelled, to both Buffy and Faith's horror.
"The soul reincarnated?" Faith asked.
"How do you know it wasn't in Heaven or trapped by the demon?!" Buffy demanded to know.
"Because a coven of witches couldn't pull a soul from the after life, any after life. And I know because a god told me so."
"What god?" Buffy asked.
"The one that made me. Thor, god of thunder." And he grabbed each of them by their arms and shimmered to the library. Cordelia appearing beside him with her own passenger. Giles dropped the cup of tea was drinking and Wesley squeaked like a mouse.
"What is going on?" Giles demanded.
"Call them Buffy, now. We hear the Deputy Mayor out, we deal with the Mayor, we figure out what happened between Willow and local me and hopefully reunite her and Cord and then we get the Hell of this bizarro reality. And I warn you, Buffy, if Darla shows her face anywhere near me, I will dust her sorry ass."
"Why?" Buffy asked.
"Because in my reality that bitch murdered Jesse, the closest thing to a brother I ever had."
