It was a cool night, Xander Harris had just finished making love to his supposedly former girlfriend, Cordelia Chase. She was resting her head on his chest and he was stroking her hair. "Sweetie," he whispered. She woke up and looked at him, "we got to get up."

"But I'm comfortable." She whined, and he chuckled.

"I know babe, but we need to get going." She sighed.

"Alright," she slipped from his embrace and got cleaned up. Then they got dressed and he left her at her home but little did he know, that was the beginning of a long road of revenge on one of his best friends.

He had dropped her off at her house and took off. Now Cordelia's parents knew a little about vampires and the like but didn't know that their visitor was one. He was fairly handsome, dark, and moody. "Oh Cordelia," her father said. "Welcome home, your friend Angel had stopped by for a visit." Cordelia glared at him and launched herself at him. They both went out the window, fighting.

"COME ON YOU SON OF A BITCH!" She screamed, and they started to go at it. She was giving as good as she was getting. Her parents were horrified, "CALL XANDER! CALL XANDER NOW!" They rushed to a phone, but that was when he showed back up then threw a kick to the back of Angelus' head.

"Good thing, I remember you left your purse in my car." He said, then he slammed his shin into Angelus' face. He slammed Angelus' head into a wall and then stomped on it. "I am so going to enjoy beating the hell out of you and I'm going to do it nice, and slow."

He wiped blood from his nose and mouth and smirked. "Feh, so you can fuck the slayer slut?" He said Xander kicked him in the ribs, breaking three of them. Of course, he was in pain, Xander nodded and Cordelia tossed him a sledgehammer he slammed it into Angelus' back breaking more ribs.

"Nah, I don't want your 'sloppy seconds'. You can keep them, I got a real woman. Unlike you, who got a 'child'." Angelus tried to rush him and Xander used that hammer, channeled his inner 'Triple-H', and slammed it across his face. "GOODBYE! HARRIS TOUCHES THEM ALL!" Angelus slammed onto the patio moaning and groaning, "Get me something sharp and pointy!" Cordy's dad rushed to get something when Angelus got up and grabbed Cordy. "You Son Of A Bitch!"

"Ah, ah, ah! One move and I turn her!" He said, "Drop the hammer!"

"Xander NO!" Screamed Cordy.

"Alright, just let her go."

"Of course," he said. Xander dropped the hammer and Angelus just laughed, "Fool!" With that, he bit her and then he tossed her out of the way and looked at the horrified look on Xander's face but was met with the business end of the hammer. Then he started to slam it into all four of his limbs breaking them. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

"When you turned her, YOU TURNED ME IN TO YOU!" Then he slammed it into Angelus' head. "Good Night, Bitch!" Then he dropped it onto him and went to Cordy, he knelt to her while pulling out a syringe. "Hold on sweetheart," inside the syringe and put the contents into her. She slowly started to come around.

"Xander?" She said weakly, he picked her up and carried her inside the house.

"What did you do?" Said Cordy's father.

"Made it so she could never turn into a blood-sucking demon. But at a cost."

"Cost?"

"She'll never be the same again."

"What do you mean?"

"She'll still be human just not the same outside. Let her rest, you'll see what I mean in the morning." He put her to bed grabbed Angelus, put him in his car's trunk, and took off for somewhere.


The next morning, Angelus awoke with a splash of holy water burning him. "AHHHHH!" He screamed.

"This Is Your Wake Up Call Asshole!" Xander said.

"HARRIS! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Angelus screamed as he tried to reach him but was tied to a cross.

"You fucked up four times Dead-boy, 1. You lost your soul. 2. You tried to rape Dawn. 3. You attacked Cordy. 4. You attacked me and DIDN'T FINISH THE JOB! If you are to take me out, finish THE GOD DAMN JOB! Don't play with me like I'm your prey! Fuck up 4.2. When we fought, I swallowed some of your blood and you still didn't put me out of 'my misery'. No wonder why people hate you Liam, you're a certifiable FUCK UP! Now you'll pay for it. See you in hell, Liam." With that, he walked away.

"COME BACK HERE!" He screamed while struggling, "I'LL FINISH THE JOB!"

"Liam, you're too much of a wuss to do it. Besides, I won." He went to his car.

"What do you mean you 'won'?" Xander looked at his watch.

"It's sunrise 'buddy boy', like I said, 'see you in Hell'." He got in his car and took off. As he took off Liam started to burn like kindling.

As Xander was headed home he started to cough up blood. 'Oh man, he might have gotten the last laugh.' He started to get woozy and waving in and out on the road. Then he drove off the road and slammed into a tree.


The next thing he knew was he was visiting his Uncle Alex, which was strange because he was dead. "Uncle Alex?" He said.

"Hey Xander," he said. "How are you doing?" He hugged his nephew tightly then Xander pulled off.

"What are you? Really?"

"I'm your Uncle Alex-"

"STOP LYING TO ME!"

"Xander, I'm not lying to you."

"YES YOU ARE! So what is it? Your revenge on me for icing your pet vampire?" Just then they heard a voice behind them.

"No, you got too powerful for them to play with." It was a young woman with long black hair and gray eyes, she was dressed in robes. "Why don't you reveal your true form demon?" The fake Alex just chuckled.

"What gave me away?" He said.

"My real Uncle Alex always called me 'Kid'." Said Xander, with that, he pulled a dagger out of his boot and threw it at the demon killing him. "Who are you?"

"I represent a group that wishes to have you work for them." She said.

"I'm listening."

"We want you to be a Marshall, hunting the dark."

"Can I have a partner?"

"Of course, Ms. Chase?" Xander blushed and nodded, "Yes, you can have her as your partner."

"Thank you, so what now?"

"You wake up. Your loved ones are worried sick. You've been in a coma for two weeks."

"What happened?"

"You fell asleep behind the wheel and your car slammed into a tree. You were almost killed."

"But what will happen afterward? Am I a vegetable?"

"No, you are not. As of right now, the powers I gave you are healing you. You will be back to normal in a few days. But I must warn you, Buffy now knows what happened to Angel and that you killed him. She will do everything in her power to kill you. Cordelia has been guarding you. Waiting for you to wake up."

"Well then, I guess I better not keep a woman like Cordelia Chase waiting." He smirked.

"Before you go though, I'm giving you 'the Carrier'."

"The Carrier? As in 'the Authority's' Carrier?"

"Yep, it'll be waiting for you. Just say door." He nodded and slowly started to disappear.


Xander slowly started to wake up to the feeling of someone holding his hand and he looked over to see. Cordelia, sitting next to him holding his hand. 6 foot 7 inches, tanned, with long, wavy black hair, double d to an e-cup bust line, legs up to her neck, well muscled but not overly so, dressed in a halter top, tights, ass-less chaps, and boots. "Cordy?" He whispered, "Cordy." He said loader, she opened her eyes, they were now a yellowish-green.

"XANDER!" She grabbed him in a soft hug. "You scared me half to death dweeb boy!" She cried, "I'm never letting you go."

"I should hope not." He said weakly and she kissed him on the lips.
