I love this story.

this is before the series right? before Will arrives? keep up the good work

Very interesting, and I'm looking forward to more.

By the way, unless it is a different beverage that just sounds the same, it's "Tea", not "Tee"

Thank you for reviewing and pointing out my mistake. I've already corrected it.

So, Helen is assuming at this point that Xander was a normal human infant whom whose DNA Nikola tinkered with, eh? Which is more than enough reason for her to be ready to chew Tesla out, but falls far short of the degree of rage she's GOING to feel for my favorite Vampire Sanguinis when either she or Willow figure out the source of the other half of Xander's DNA. Can't wait!

(Much as I adore Nikola, in all his bad-boy glory, I love it even more when Helen rakes him over the coals for going TOO far over the line!)

Thank you for your review.

Intriguing.

Thank you for your review.

Good to see a new chapter. Finally some answers showing up, I wonder when they'll find out the truth of who his parents are. Will helen do some sort of genetic test before or after nikola shows up?

Thank you for your review. As for your question you'll have to wait and see.

Yep, it's always Nikola to blame for things like this. Can you imagine if he ever got together with Ethan Rayne? Willow and Xander are holding their cards close to their chests, Helen M. isn't revealing too much either. Which makes sense, I don't like the stories where everyone tells everyone everything on first meeting. They'd both be a lot more cautious than that.
So far Helen just thinks X. is another of N's 'experiments', doesn't yet realize the truth. That's going to be weird. At some point she's going to want to take a blood sample & run some tests. That's when the fun begins.
On the other hand, when Helen finds they're linked to the slayer & the council, that probably won't be good. Helen probably thinks of the slayer as a maniacal killer of Abnormals...

Thank you for your review.

I just wanted to say Thanks for following through I know how hard it can be to keep writing and the fact you are taking your time and making the whole story very smooth and realistic. I really am liking this story so far so . This is me saying Thanks and I can't wait for more.

Nice chapter. One step closer. I'll be looking forward to the meeting. :)

Oooh. Good coaching Giles! Good scenes and narrative too. Thanks for continuing!

That should be an interesting encounter at Sanctuary. Xander & Willow show up, they use the word "Akharu" -that'd be like setting off a bomb. Not necessarily in a bad way, but they're (aside from Tesla) extinct, and he's only a 'partial'. It'd be huge news. Once the excitement died down and they start asking questions, they might well make the connection and go "Tesla! Of course, that asshole!" But nobody's going to think "Oh yeah, and Magnus must be the mom!". That'd be an even bigger shock.
Hm, that they're connected to the Watchers will come out at some point, and that will likely be a big unpleasant. .......
Hey--maybe Marcie is a descendant of the invisible man (original member of Magnus' group)?

good start, I feel the pace is just right, hate stories that with one or two chapters major things happen. To go to a new city and have to work a bit and not have it all fall into their hands ,I feel is the right way.i could see this going 20-30 chapters.

Great idea. Helen is going to skin Nikola alive.

very very well done! Keep up the great work!

Cool story! Tesla is one of my favorite characters, and I love your concept of Xander being his and Magnus' child created in yet another of Tesla's take-over-the-world plots. :)

Good interaction amongst the gang, plus use of Willow's magic. Looking forward to the rest of the story!

Thanks for writing.
