Spike stared dumfounded at Xander. He helped Xander with his senses just by being in the same room as him? A thought tugged at the back of his mind but before he could grasp what it was about Xander continued with his story.
“You say you remember Halloween when I was possessed by the solider?”
“Yes pet I remember. Wish I didn’t but I remember.”
Xander frowned at Spikes comment.
“Oh yeah, Buffy got the upper hand against you again didn’t she. Well I got to keep all his memories too, not all of them are that nice, POW camp in Nam and watching my… his men die, which lead to one seriously weird case of PTSD but I also remember all his training from how to fight to Covet Ops training. Add to that the fact that his hobbies included dead languages and fencing and I now know how to read and speak in six living languages fluently and several dead ones as well as being able to hold my own in a sword fight.”
“Then why don’t you use these gifts?”
Xander smirked at Spikes question
“I do use them Spike, I just find it more fun to let my opponents underestimate my fighting skills. As for the languages, haven’t you noticed the books Giles gives me aren’t all written in English?”
“Nope I’m usually too bored to pay much attention to who reads what in the research torture that we get put through regularly.”
Xander sniggered at that comment before yawning.
“Sorry Spike, going to have to go to sleep soon. I've been getting only three hours sleep for the past few weeks,” Xander curled up on his side facing spike and continued with his explanation “At graduation everything came together. I was the one who got the C4 and rocket launcher and organized the rest of the students in to an army. They weren’t that good, but I didn’t really have much time. After the battle I told the girls the truth or at least an abbreviated version. I told them that I still had all the soldiers memories and that some how the solider possession had unlocked the Hyena memories as well, I lied and told them that they were slowly returning and I apologized for every thing I had done during the Hyena Possession. After that I went on my road trip. I think the girls thought it was so I could process all my memories I peace. In a way it was but it was more to do with what happened during and after graduation that I needed to deal with.”
“What do you mean ‘after graduation’?”
“Some one had to do it.” Xander said sadly “Buffy was too upset about Angel leaving, Giles was trying to help her and Willow could hardly do it now could she.”
“Do what luv?”
“Take care of the bodies. I went to the morgue where the bodies had been taken and I cut their hearts out and then talked to their families and passed on all our condolences. Some of them aren’t as blind to the Hellmouth as people think and some of them took comfort in the fact that they died protecting the world, at least I think they did.”
Spike put his arms round Xander and pulled him in to a hug before he could think. He was surprised when instead of pulling away Xander snuggled in closer and relaxed. Spike had no idea how long he had been holding Xander before he realized that the bo
