I missed this story previously. I hope you come back to this.

More fun material. I'm really intrigued by the possibilities of what you're doing with this story. Really looking forward to seeing what you've got planned for Xander's road trip/escape. Excellent entry.

Good chapter. I like that the merger left Xander in the driver's seat and that it really is Xander. In other words, no murderous rampage on the way out killing, maiming or eating those in his way. It was nicely done and true to the character. It will be interesting to see how you have him develop outside the influence of the group. Looking forward to more soon.

Awesome new chapter. I'm really looking forward to see what happens to Xander. Question though, where did the 'healing factor' Walsh mentioned come from? The Swim Team? Demonic ancestry? Something else entirely?

A well written departure scene and an interesting take on the Initiative, in particular Maggie, willing to sacrifice its own. Although I think this could backfire on her as a Major in black-ops will probably have some form of insurance.

Great stuff, thanks.

I hope Xan gets a chance to stake Walsh. She will dust eventually.

A well written look at what is happening to Xander inside and out.

Too bad it was not Walsh that got knocked out. Hope she gets eaten and humiliated by something if Xan gets even. Riley (just following orders excuse) needs his ass kicked too.

powerful!

Wow! This ia just...wow. Amazing story - absolutely original way to manage the merging of hyena and soldier and I really loved the posters in the background of Xander's "library" Great job with this fic.

Excellent! Glad to see you've returned to this - was getting worried poor Xander would be stuck in Limbo forever!

From the actions of Private Harris, I'd bet there's a lot of information in Xander's head since people tend to run their mouths a lot when they don't think their audience can hear or will remember the conversation, so I hope certain T.A.'s get paid a visit before Xander leaves town. Also I'm wondering if Robot Ted had a stash of cash in his/its house a long with the car - not to mention the clothes there, possible firearms, new ID - since it would need it, even in Sunnydale, to keep the authorities off its back -, food, etc.

Come to that, would Xander be able to hide out there temporarily? Because I can't see the car being useful until he gets it in his new ID - be embarrassing to get pulled over for expired plates and get arrested for stealing the car, right? This is where Giles would help a lot; being in the clear he can make arrangements either through the Council or via Willy the Snitch, or even his own misspent youth, coupled with Willow's hacking abilities...

And everyone in his poster shots... well, except Drucilla... need a warning about the Black Ops, //and maybe Joyce can get a warning early and not be such a HUGE target by being kept ignorant about how deadly this town really is!!!!!//

Then Xander can take his road trip /behind/ the expanding circle of searchers looking for him. Walsh would figure he'd run far and fast as soon as he escaped, so each day would increase the distance to search as well as the number of searchers until somebody on high took official notice and slapped her down, wouldn't you think?

Nice start. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this one.

This doesn't look good for Xander! I hope that Willow and Buffy when they return do not stop looking for him :(

Another well written opening.

Not a new concept like many of your other pieces... but I'm very interested to see what you do with this one. Looking forward to more fantastic material. Thanks for sharing with us.
