Xander couldn't help but feel bad about he went on a rant at the odd mutant. He usually doesn't get hostile over things like a simple misunderstanding, but it was about his girls, his slayers. Xander was very protective of all of them, now he knew how Giles felt with Buffy,Willow ,and himself. These girl's even though they weren't that much younger then him, they were his kids, and he was proud to be their father. In the end Xander understood this Saber chick could be a potential ally and he didn't want his slayer's killing potential allies, or innocent people. Even if it was all an accident, he can't allow mistakes like this to happen. He needed to call a meeting and address the issue properly.
Xander gave the wacky red his famous half grin as she smiled brightly at him. He listened and nodded as she spoke. He sincerely felt for the mutant. He knew in a way how it was to be a loner. Since, out of his best friends, he was always the normal one with no powers. He knew had a solution for her, and they could use all the help possible "Your part of the team now. I already am watching your back. It make take awhile for everyone especially the slayers to except you, but once you gain there trust." He smiled at her. "You will have a family, if not I'll force them to accept you." Xander joked with sarcasm. "Besides, if they listen to me. I'm best friends with the slayer in charge, and she will lay down the law. I'm the nice leader who they all love and respect. Buffy on the other hand they all respect and fear." Xander said as he tried not to laugh at his own pun at his favorite blond.
(Life story ha? I told her some of it earlier, i guess there is more to it. Well a lot more.) Xander thought as he just shook his head. "Well, Twain...I summarized my life somewhat, and I made a lot more mistake then I like to admit." Xander sighed reluctantly and continued. " It all started with a 16 year old teenager boy who wasn't that great at skateboarding. It was his first day of school sophomore year at the now defunct Sunnydale High School. Yours truly spotted the most beautiful thing he has ever seen in the midst of skateboarding. While he stared at the Beautiful blond walking by our hero literally fell for her and rolled into a railing. The young man had to meet her. His chance came when he noticed her drop her books and quickly rushed over to help her. The dweeb he was helped her out and said the smartest pick up line ever. "Can I have you? oh ah, I mean can I help you." quickly followed by "I go to school do you?"" Xander couldn't help but turn red in embarrassment. "Long story short, I found out she was the slayer, we become friends, I fall in love, she is killed by the master, I bring her back to life, she kills master, and 8 eventful years later here is your Xander Harris college drop out, and in charge of a bunch of P.M.S.ing and pissed off slayers. The best part it would take me days to tell you all escapades we been through, I just skimmed the first year a little."
Xander turned his attention on the young mutant. "I spilled a little bit it's your turn, if you would like to indulge me a little bit?" Xander questioned with amused grin.

Twain was happy that Xander seemed to understand how she felt. He was the kind of person it would have good to watch your back. Twain smiled when he began to talk about Buffy. She sounded damn scary, but Twain hoped to meet her someday. After all she was fairly famous in the world of nasty bloodsuckers. It amused Twain when he mentioned how he was loved and respected as apposed to her being feared. Twain raised her eyebrow when he mentioned skateboarding, not sure where this was going.
Twain smiled when he told her about meeting Buffy at first. Figures she was pretty, and poor Xander was useless against her charm. Nice move with the school part. Twain pressed her lips together in an attempt to keep from laughing uncontrollably. She smirked when he said that was only the first year or so. Then he asked about her life story. Twain smiled halfheartedly but genuinely and shrugged.
“Sorry to disappoint, mine neither is as funny nor do I posses a good story telling ability. Being a mutant I was basically born into this stuff. I didn’t find that out till later though. My mom was a bit loopy in the head so she beat us around a bit, nothing that bothered me though. My older sister was emotionally unstable. She…she hurt herself because dealing with her problems was to much work.” Twain said that part bitterly.
“Well after a while I couldn’t stand it any more, her lying to me, my mom screaming. I made her go poof, simple as that. By poof I mean I broke up her entire body into tiny particles. After that I and someone who was staying with us ran off. She and I found more mutants, we fought together for a while but the group just broke up and we all went our separate ways,” Twain shrugged.
“A friend of mine was forced to betray me to a group of scientists. I was used for experiments and crap. Then I came up with a genius idea for how to escape.” Twain said the last part with an eye roll. Twain took the hem of her shirt and lifted it to just below her rib cage, exposing her toned and scarred stomach. You could she the pale raised sword scar from several years ago as well as the new wound that only just started scaring, signifying how new it was.
“Not my best idea, try escaping with a sword run through you. Needless to say it worked. I don’t really remember how I ended up here in Misery…” Twin said the last bit with a comical confused face on.
“To tell you the truth, I’m nothing special. I do want to here about some of these grand adventures of yours. I mean, hanging with the slayer has got to get you some unusual friends.” Twain smiled.

As Xander listened he was sorry he had asked about her life. Days like these make him hate himself for being so social and talkative. He felt like a dick for ever complaining about his life and Buffy trouble. He had it good compared to this Saber character. He hated his parents, but he didn't have it bad enough he would make them go so called "poof". As Twain put it. She needed friends and people to rely on. It seems that she has a habit of loosing people. A loner, there's a reason she's here. Xander decided that she deserved his time as much as everyone one else. Even though she was crazy and killed her mom. Xander could tell she wasn't evil and she might have some what of a heart.
Xander shrugged awkwardly and spoke. "I'm sorry I asked. I didn't mean for you to go down bad memory lane. I have no room to complain about my parents or life. No one deserves to have deal with all that growing up. I really don't know what to say to all that except I'm sorry and you deserved a hell a a lot better." Xander shook his head and really didn't anything else he could say. He felt horrible for her and the story about how she escaped gave him the chills. She needed people who could she rely on and Xander was willing to try it. "One thing I do know about is scars." Xander took of his eye patch and showed her a glimpse of where is eye should have been. After a few moments he put it back on. It was one the first times he has shown someone how it looked. "That's what I get for trying to help save some girls from a mad preacher named Caleb."
Xander was in a little but of dazed after listening to her unusual, but very tragic life story. "Oh!... " He hesitated a little and began. "I guess I could tell you a little bit about some friends and some reluctant allies we have had through the years. Some still around and some we lost unfortunately." Xander sighed and closed his eyes for a second. He opened them up and plastered on a fake smile and continued. "You already met our hero, Xander Harris, girls want me, men wish they could be half of me...It's actually the opposite, but I think I made my point." Xander chuckled and went on. "We have the slayer Buffy Summers, well she was the slayer, now she is the oldest living slayer, and you already know my reason for getting involved in this party. We have next is my old gal pal Willow Rosenberg computer hacker turned the most powerful witch this side of the yellow brick road. G-Man or what he likes to be called Giles, Buffy's old watcher. He may be a stuffy old Britt, but he was the best dam watcher any slayer could have, he was more of a father than to us than mine or Buffy's dads. That was the original Scooby Gang. We have added on subtracted from losses and from multiple reasons." Xander hesitated and started counting on his hands. "Angel the vampire with a soul and Buffy's ex. Angel and Buffy made woopy he turned into Angelous and raised all hell. Buffy kills Angelous, Angel comes back from hell and leaves Buffy for L.A. after graduation. What a charmer he was with all of his brooding and what not. We never liked each other, still don't. Oh boy, don't I have some juicy stories about him. Then we have my ex girlfriend Cordelia Chase, just your typical valley girl, she dumped me before graduation because I cheated on her with Willow. There's a long story behind that as well. Cordy went to L.A. after graduation and ended up working with Angel. I heard a lot of craziness went down there with her, not sure though. But now she's in a comma. Next we have Daniel Osbourne, we called him Oz. Guitarist in the Dingoes and Willows boyfriend by day, and a Werewolf when we have a full moon. He disappeared when Willow and Buffy were at University of California Sunnydale. Jenny Calender is next. Gile's fling and techno pagan computer whiz. She turned out to be in a family Gypsy's who cursed the great murderous Angelus with a soul after he killed a girl in the family. Hence Angelous turning in Angel, soul boy defender of the innocent." Xander declared with sarcasm. "Well, when soul boy and Buffy made whoopy, he was turned back in Angelus, and one of the many horrible atrocities he committed. He went on and murdered Ms. Calender, when she was trying to find a way to give him his soul back. Now does that sound like a hero?" Xander noticed that he rambled on beyond usual and let his bad memories get the best of him. He just buried it all in as usual and went on.
"Twain, that's just a sliver of high school, we still have four plus years after that." Xander smiled."Maybe one of these day's I'll tell you more. But, right now, I have to shower up, and take care of some business."Xander pulled out his watcher business card and handed it to Twain. "Welcome to the team, if you need to get a hold of me, or need anything. Please call me anytime. You more than welcome to use any of our equipment and training facilities." Xander offered with a grin. " Remember anything and I hope to see you soon." Xander said as he offered his hand.

Twain nodded in understanding when he showed her his eye. It was gory, but Twain was glad to know it didn’t bother him. When you are stuck with a scar like that it is best to accept it as a part of you. Twain ran her fingers over her own scars. The one healed up pretty well, she had jest to see how the new one would. Xander seemed a bit dazed, she wasn’t surprised. She disliked her life story, it was to depressing. She was a happy person despite the crap that happened too her when she was young. She had no plans to change that now.
Twains eyebrows shot up when he said Buffy slept with Angel. Twain supposed that if she had been truly in love she wouldn’t care about race, but that was a stupid thing to do. She was not a vampire slayer, and vampire plus slayer doing anymore than killing each other always equals a bad thing. Twain tried not to laugh at how he lost his soul. People were killed, but it was just so funny. I mean, talk about ultimate burn. Waking up and finding out the guy you slept with is on a mad killing rampage.
Twain noticed how he had some bad memories to. People dying, going into comas, thing were rough in high school. Twain wondered how he dealt with it all while still getting passing grades. Twain shifted on her feet to take o business card. She shook his hand and smiled at him.
“Thanks, I should get going to. If you ever need a hand or want to talk, I live in an apartment with a giant hole in it. It’s a bit hard to miss.” Twain laughed and then walked away.
(Twain out)

"Not a problem, it was ni..." Xander stopped in mid sentence as Twain turned away, and stopped any attention to Xander. "Okay, I guess I was talking to myself..." Xander pauses and thinks and begins again. "And I'm still talking to myself." Xander started to walk to the showers, but he couldn't help but contemplate the future. Things have been relatively slow a vampire there an here. This place was suppose to be worse then SunnyD. Xander felt a chill go down his neck as he thought about it. Xander had been making more allies then enemies and hasn't ran into any big bads. He knew the luck would run out soon, and hopefully Buffy gets back before it does. Xander was glad that he made a new ally, but then he frowned a little. "We are going to need all the help we can get, but I still don't think it will be enough." Xander whispered as he headed for the locker room.
