Before anyone could respond to this Xander's question five men rushed into the room. Wesley Wyndham-Price was in the lead and brandishing a cross at Angel, he yelled, "By the authority of the Watchers Council, Faith Lahaine, you are under arr -." Before he could finish Xander was moving. He grabbed Wesley's wrist with his left hand and twisted, causing him to cry out and drop the cross. He followed that up by grabbing Wesley's shirt and throwing him across the room, where he landed in a heap on the cement floor. He kicked the tranq gun out the hand of the man who'd come in behind Wesley and sent it flying. A third fell to a leap and a roundhouse kick to the head. The last two tripped over that one and tumbled at Xander's feet. He bent down and grabbed each of them by the front of their shirts and lifted them up. "You'd better have a damn good explanation for why you're attacking her." He snarled at the two terrified men.

"She killed someone! She's a danger, she has to be destroyed!"

"Faith Lehaine does not answer to the Watchers Council. I don't know what's going on here and obviously I don't have all the information, but I do know that. Go back to your Council, Faith is no longer your concern, understand me?"

"You don't know what you're doing! You can't interfere with the Council!"

"Unless things are radically different here than where I'm from, your Council has no legal authority anywhere. I call the cops and you'll find yourself in a whole Hell of a lot of legal trouble and so will your abomination of a Council. Leave Sunnydale and never come back or I'll decide you're prey and hunt you. This is your only chance and you only get it because you're human and I'm not a killer. But if you hurt those I'm responsible for, I'll make an exception."

"She's been corrupted! She'll keep killing! Slayers that are corrupted are a danger, we have to stop her."

"Last time I checked, Faith wasn't a Slayer and not your responsibility. Go, now!" He set them on their feet and they and the other two, minus Wesley, scrabbled for the door and away from the way too strong teenager. Xander turned toward Buffy. He cocked his head and looked at Angel. "You look familiar, vampire. I'm guessing I've run across you back home. I've only encountered two vampires that dress up to date, the one we found out about the Harvest from and that peroxide ass, Spike. Our Buffy had a lot of fun setting his mutated ass on fire."

"Angel, my name is Angel."

"My name is Xander Harris, Grimm." He drew his sword and pressed the button as a look of surprise crossed Angel's face at the word Grimm. "I'm thinking I'm in another reality somehow, doesn't change the fact that you're a vampire."

"Xander, no!" Buffy yelled, stepping in front of Angel.

"Please get out the way, Buffy. I have no idea why you're helping a vampire instead of destroying him, but I'm still going to destroy him."

"He has a soul, Xander."

"I don't see souls, I see demons and he is definitely a demon. Wait, did you say soul? That vampire seer, what was her name?"

"Vampire seer?" Angel asked, staying behind Buffy. "Drusilla?"

"Yeah, that one. The one Brother Luca thought might want to kill me, she said Buffy would fall in love with you and break your curse, setting loose one of the most vicious vampires ever. Please tell me aren't actually involved with him, Buffy?"

"Gods, Xander get a new refrain, you're so jealous!"

"Jealous of what?"

"Me and Angel. You've got a crush on me." A statement that had Xander laughing.

"Yeah, now I know I'm in another reality. I've been with Cordelia for more then two years, I never had a crush on you. We're friends, that's it."

"Cordelia?! As in Cordelia Chase?!"

"In all her foxy perfection. Alright, I'll hold off on destroying your vamp for the moment, Buffy, but seriously, rethink your life choices, because if that seer is right, you'll set loose a monster. Now, why the Hell is Faith chained up?"

"She killed someone, Xander. She keeps saying it's a demon, but obviously it wasn't because all I saw was a human."

"Faith can see things you can't, Buffy. If she says she saw something, than she saw something."

"Slayers don't see things, Xander!"

"Faith's not a Slayer, Buffy." He walked over to Faith and crouched down In front of her. "What did you see, Little Sis?"

"Why are you calling me that?"

"Because we're related, Faith. Professor Dormer brought you to Sunnydale because she suspected you weren't a Slayer and she was right. You're like me. What did you see?"

"A snake, he looked like a snake."

"An out of towner probably, there are no snake Wesen in our Sunnydale."

"Wesen?" Angel said. "Grimm? You're saying both of you are Grimms?"

"What's a Grimm, Angel and why are you freaked by that fact? Are they some kind of demons?" She glared suspiciously at Xander and Faith, as Xander reached out and to Buffy's shock, pulled one of the chains out of the wall.

"No, Buffy, they're not demons. They're something else entirely. But if you're a Grimm, than so is the Xander we know. Why wouldn't he say anything?"

"Maybe he doesn't know." Faith said. "I certainly don't. The Prof's dead, big, nasty vamp killed her and I came here for help. Instead I get Giles who thinks Buffy can do no wrong and got fired for letting B date a vampire and Wussley."

"Wussley is a good name for him. Buffy's mother just made him pee his pants." As he casually pulled the second chain out of the wall.
