might seem familiar they are owned by Joss Wheadon and Constance M. Burge respectively. im
just a broke Fanfic writer who loves to have fun, and I make no money from this
because if I did Buffy, Willow, and Piper would mud wrestle at my command. This
is my first try at this so please be gentle with me.

FEEDBACK: Please
reviews are welcome and I need them a writer can’t get better without listening
to readers and as a novice I need pointers

RATING: R may change in
later chapters.

PAIRINGS: Not sure so
far.

SPOILERS: Well the way
I see it all of BTVS and CHARMED I don’t really know.

A/N: This story is an AU and by that I mean it only begins
after Halloween but the changes to canon begin from after Xander and Willow
become part of the gang so Characters will be OC but the changes will be
explained as the story continues so please bear with me.

          

Chapter 2: Talks

-Sunnydale High School Library 4pm-

Xander sat at the Scooby meeting table in the library,
beside him was his mother whose head was lying on the table on a small pillow
Giles had found in his office.

“So G-man any ideas?” Xander called out to the Englishman
who just walked out from the stacks book in hand.

“Xander for the last time stop with that infernal name.”
Giles said as he sent a mild glare at Xander before continuing.

“Now as to your current dilemma, it is up to you and your
mother how you shall proceed but know this I will support you with whatever you
choose.” Giles offered the young man a smile as he walk to the book cage.

“Thanks G..Giles it means a lot to me, to us both to have a
little help.” Xander said as he leaned his head back and let out a sigh and
closed his eyes for a few minutes.

///////////////////

“Wake up Mr. Harris it’s time for your sponge bath now.” 
Xander awoke with a start at the warm breath on his ear and quickly looked
around for what caused it, and was quickly met by the laughing faces of his
friends Buffy and Willow along with a smug looking Ms. Calendar.

Xander scowled at the trio mostly the curvy computer
teacher.

“You know it’s not nice to wake up a man when he’s dreaming
of twinkies and someday soon you will all pay for it.” Xander said with a smirk
as he looked around for his mom.

“Your mom will be back soon Xand she went to go change.”
Said the pixie faced redhead.

“Oh, ok thanks Will.”

“Xander Giles called us all here because he said you had
something to tell us, and when we got here and saw your mom we got a little
worried. So what’s up, what’s going on?” Asked the tiny blonde.

“Well Buff it’s a long story, one I don’t want to repeat
more than once so once mom gets back ‘ll tell you all, by the way where’s the
stuffy tweed guy he should be here too.” Xander said as he stood up to stretch
out his legs, his body painfully reminding him how much of a good idea it was
to fall asleep in a chair was.

“He’s in his office; he got a phone call and had to take
it.” Said Ms. Calendar as she walked over to sit at the table with the girls.

Just then the doors to the library opened to admit Jessica
Harris who looked very different from this morning, gone were the teary eyes
and the subdued look on her face, and in its place was a look that said ‘time
to start new Jessica and be there for your son’.

“Hello you all, it’s nice to see you again Willow.” Jessica
said as she greeted everyone and went to sit beside her son.

The library was very quiet for the next few minutes until
Giles emerged from his office.

“Good Giles is here so that means Xander has to talk now, so
talk..now.” Said Buffy as she tried to stare Xander down.

“So Giles is everything ok now.” Xander asked as he ignored
the way Buffy was looking at him.

“Yes I believe it is Xander, now would you please answer
Buffy before her yes pop out of her head.” Giles said as he covered up a smile
by pulling off his glasses and started to clean them with a handkerchief from
his suit jacket pocket.

“Oh right Buff-ster, what was the question again.” Xander
said with his goofy grin as he tried not to outright laugh at the currently
fuming slayer in front of him, who he thought might be turning a little red
around the ears.

“Xander you meany stop it you know what we asked you, and
leave Buffy alone mister or I’ll, I’ll well I’ll do something real mean like to
you so there.” Said Willow as she glared at Xander with an equally worried and,
‘you better listen to me buster’ look.

“Ok, ok Wills calm down, and Buffy im sorry for messing with
you am I forgiven.” Xander said to the now pouting slayer and glaring pixie.

“For now.” Smiled both girls. “Now talk.”

“Alright I guess I can’t put it off anymore, last night
while I was walking home from dropping you two home, I heard a scream and being
who I am I ran towards the scream, and before you say anything Buffy.” He said
as he saw her about to protest that.

“As you can see im fine nothing more than a few scrapes, now
back to my tale what I found was a Vamp standing over a woman who had just left
the liquor store.” Here he had to slam his hand down on the table as Willow,
and Buffy started to spout excuses for his slip on the supernatural, which
caused both girls to stop and look at him funny.

Xander continued his tale with a slight bit more steel in
his voice. “Like I was saying the woman the vamp was about to make into his
late night snack was none other than my own mother who sits beside me as I
speak.” He ignored the intakes of breath he heard. “As you can see she is alive
and the vamp that was dumb enough to attack her is now oh so much dust.”

Xander stopped to reign in the anger he felt for the next
part of his story before finishing.

“But the real reason that Giles called you all here is not
the vamp attack but what happened this morning.” Here Xander took a deep
breath.

“Xand what happened this morning?” Buffy asked not used to
seeing Xander like this.

“Yeah what happened?” Asked willow timidly as the last time
she saw Xander like this was one day when she caught him thinking about Jessie.

“This morning after I woke up and Alex ensured me I wasn’t
dreaming and made breakfast for us both, he was in the kitchen washing up when
his father Anthony stumbled in.” Jessica was interrupted by Xander.

“He is NOT my Father!” Xander yelled as he stood up and
stalked off into the stacks.

*Sigh* “As I was saying Anthony stumbled in and after a
short argument with Alex in the kitchen he came out angry and yelling at me for
forgetting his beer and that’s when he slapped me across the face, and the next
thing I see from the floor is Anthony land right next to me. And looking up
more I find Alex with his fist still outstretched.” Jessica continued to the
stunned crowd before looking over to where Alex stalked off to.

After a minute or two Ms. Calendar said.

“About time Xander did something about that poor excuse for
a human being.” She said with venom and a grim smile on her face.

“Jenny!” Came the shocked reply from Giles.

“Ms. Calendar!” Came the two squeaky voices of Willow and
Buffy.

“…” Jessica was shocked at the venom this woman she had just
met held for her husband.

Jenny Calendar Sat back in her chair and look around at the
shocked faces. “What, Xander came to talk to me about his home life after I
found him in my classroom crying over Ampata and why his life was so shitty one
night, and since then me and him hang out from time to time at the Espresso
Pump to talk about things.

“What, he never told me that.” Willow said with a little bit
of hurt in her voice.”

“I see, and I thank you for that Ms. Calendar for being
there for my son when I wasn’t.” Jessica said while pushing back the jealousy
of the woman’s remarks.

“Xander are you ok now.” Giles asked as he saw Xander come
from the stacks.

“Yea G-man im ok for now I’ll be fine.” Xander said as he
came back to the table.

Before the girls could bombard him with questions Giles
jumped in. “Young Xander called me after he knocked out his fa..Anthony and I
came to pick up him and his mother and brought them here after having a few
words with Anthony and he will not be an issue. “Giles said with a cold gleam
to his eyes that he quickly covered and continued speaking.

“And that led me to the meeting and the subsequent phone
call.” Here he turned to Xander and his mother. Mrs. Harris or should I say Ms.
Harris I managed to contact a friend of mine in San Francisco and he has begun
the process we spoke about it will take some time though to set everything up.

“Thank you Mr. Giles, and as I said before I will find some
way to pay you back for this.” Said Jessica as she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thanks G-man I hope it didn’t put you back to much.” Xander
said.

“It was no problem, as I told you before I just had to call
in a favor that is all it did not cost me anything, I just wish you well.”
Giles said with a pat to Xander’s shoulder.

“Wait what are you guys talking about now!?” Asked Willow a
little franticly.

“Well Willow I wanted to get mom out of the good ol’ dale
and the best way to do that is to move, and don’t worry I plan on coming back
but just not right away, mom needs me and I think we both need the time away
from here.” Xander said with a tired set to his voice.

“But why Xander, why do you have to leave us…leave me here.”
Willow said with tears in her eyes.

“were not leaving right away Willow, and im still so glad to
see how much you care for my Alexander I was so happy when he made friends of
you and Jessie.” Jessica said to Willow with a soft smile on her face.

“Your still gonna visit right?” Asked a slightly teary
Buffy.

“Yea, Buff im still gonna visit as much as I can I mean I
can’t let you girls run the hellmouth can I, I mean if I did the vamps would
distract you with gossip and then open it while you had girly-time.” Xander
said with a goofy smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

“You’re lying Xander, what’s the real reason you’re leaving
the hellmouth.” Ms. Calendar said while staring him in his eyes, her own dark
eyes blazing. “It’s ‘HER’ isn’t it. She accused.

“What do you mean ‘her’, who does she mean Xander!” Willow
yelled hoping there was no other girl involved in Xander’s choice to leave.

“Thanks a lot ‘Jenny’, and no it’s not ‘her’.” Xander said
with a pointed look at Ms. Calendar while stressing her name. “And she’s no one
Willow, at least no one of concern. Xander said to Willow.

“But there is a ‘her’ am I right, and if she’s of no concern
then tell us who she is.” Said Buffy looking at the computer teacher and her
Xander-shaped friend strangely.

*Sigh* “She is the Hyena and she’s still in my head.” He sat
there and waited for the explosion.

“WHAT!” Yelled his two friends.

“Dear lord.” Said Giles.

“Huh?” Questioned his mother.

While Ms. Calendar just sat there a smug look on her face.

///////////////////////////////

After a quick retelling of the zoo field trip and the events
after that to Jessica the group sat looking at Xander.

“Yes she stayed in my head after all was said and done and
Buffy she’s sorry for what she tried to do to you, she felt that you were a
threat to her being Alpha and wanted to dominate you. Xander said to an angry
Buffy.

“And Willow it saw you as a bigger threat because of the
place you have in my heart as always being there for me.” He said to an also
angry Willow.

“And Giles before you go and get your books she says to tell
you that she has no plans to take over she just enjoys being free so to speak.”
He said as he saw Giles edge slowly to his books.

His mom still had that look on her face that said ‘oooook’
so he just let her be.

“Well since someone sidetracked us.” Xander said with a
pointed look at the still smirking Jenny. “Me and my mom are still going to
leave sometime after Giles’ friend sets things up for us in San Fran.”

//////////////////////////

The group went off to do other things shortly after it all
was discussed which only left Jenny, Giles, Jessica, and Xander in the Library
split into two pairs. Giles with Jessica talking about the supernatural, and
Jenny and Xander talking quietly.

-With Xander and Jenny-

“So did you have to bring Magda up.” He asked.

“Yes I did and I still can’t believe that she has a name.”
Jenny said.

“Well she does and you should use it when were alone, and
she’s a little pissed at you now.” Xander said with a small smirk.

“Yeah, yeah well she’s always mad at me for one thing or
another isn’t she.” Jenny responded with a smirk of her own as Xander leaned
his head on her shoulder. “You do that Willow finding out about our talks hurt
her right.” Jenny said.

“Yea I’ll talk to her later on to let her know you’re not
trying to have your wicked way with me or harvest any of my organs.” Xander
said with a smile.

“Oh hush you.” Jenny said with a hit to Xander’s shoulder,
as they both drifted off just sitting and enjoying the quiet.

-With Giles and Jessica-

“And of course we have fire which is another way of
dispatching a vampire.” Giles finished.

“That is quite a lot of info Mr. Giles.” Jessica said while
thinking over all she was just told.

“Yes I thought so to so I managed to start to put together a
book that will house all you need to know and it should be done in a few days
barring any other problems.” Giles offered her.

“I just hope I can earn Alex’s forgiveness.” Jessica sighed.

“In my time knowing him I have come to know that if you are
truthful with him you will be forgiven, so just be honest with him and hope,
and you’ll do fine. I wish you both happiness myself.” Giles said with a soft
smile to her.

“I thank you again Mr. Giles for all you have done today and
for what you have been doing for my son.” Jessica said.

“Once again it was not a problem Ms. Harris, Xander is like
a son to me and im happy to see you in good health, now let’s go over a few
more things.”

“If we must.” Said Jessica .

///////////////////////////////////////////////

-With Buffy and Willow-

“So what do you think of everything?” Willow asked Buffy as
they sat in the lounge of Sunnydale high.

“Well im happy his moms ok and all but I don’t want Xander
to move away I mean I just got used to him.” Buffy pouted.

“I’m gonna miss my buddy I mean he’s been here for as long
as I can remember, and I know he’s gonna visit but it won’t be the same.” 
Mumbled a sad Willow.

As both girls sit and think on their friend, they wonder how
life on the hellmouth will be when he leaves.

////////////////////////////////////////////////

-Later that night-

Xander lays staring at the darkened ceiling of Giles’ living
room as he relaxes on the pull-out couch that Giles let him crash on, while his
mother was in the guest bedroom resting after what was a very trying day.

Xander closed his eyes and slowed his breathing and did
something that if you asked anyone who knew him they would say he could never
do. Xander Harris stopped thinking and started to meditate.

-Xander’s Mind-

Xander opened his eyes to the dark void he had become used
to seeing after his stint at the zoo, and looked around before sitting down on
the ‘ground’ and waiting.

{How nice of you to come see me young one.} Came a low purring
sound from the darkness.       

 ‘Yeah I came here to check on you, I know that today had to
get to you a little bit.’ Said Xander as he stared at the tall hyena he came to
know as Magda walk out of the darkness that was his mindscape.

{Yes young one this day has left me feeling a little tired,
and I hope you warned young Janna about my current mood.} Came the purr of
Magda.

‘Yes I did warn ‘Jenny’ of your mood, and she didn’t seem
all that worried.’ Smirked Xander. ‘And I thought we talked about this whole
‘young one’ deal.’ Xander grumped at Magda.

{I remember you talking about something to that extent, but
I don’t remember saying I would stop.} Came the amused growl of Magda.

‘You know one day im gonna think up a leash or a cage for
you and well see who’s the smart one now.’ An amused Xander said.

{Yes, one day, one day. But all jokes aside we have to talk
about a few things young one.} Said a now serious Magda.

‘I know Magda that’s also why I came tonight.’ Xander said
as he looked Magda in the eye. ‘Once we leave the hellmouth you’re gonna get
stronger and unlike before I won’t be able to hide the boasts you give me will
I.’ Stated a very serious Xander.

{You are correct young one and while me and you may have an
agreement about you housing me your friends might think differently.}

‘I know Magda I just hope mom can understand’ Xander said as
he patted his lap and Magda came to rest he head in his lap.

{I find I quite like your mother she has a strong fire in
her, I believe she can handle whatever comes along.} Growled Magda. {Now you
need your rest so close your eyes and sleep young one.} Purred Magda.

‘Ok see you in the morning.’ Xander yawned as he closed his
eyes and slept.

////////////////////////////

-ELSEWHERE-

“It begins and now we will see how he handles true power.”
Said a looming voice to his company.

Silence met him but he seemed to be listening to the only
other in the room.

“Yes I know you have faith in him but..” A smack echoed
through the room and the figure that housed the voice stopped to rub his arm.

“You know, we may not be alive but that’s still rude.” He
grumbled. “And sticking your tongue out does not make it any less rude.” He
said as he waved his hand over the Crystal that held the image of one Alexander
L. Harris and the primal spirit known as Magda huddled together resting, dim
until its light went out and the figures walked into the darkness.
