Please don't leave out Xander's and Logan's talk.

Enjoyed the dodge ball.

I'll try not to, and thanks.

Liked the chapter right up to the dodgeball part. Not quite sure how that related but it's your story, I'm sure it made sense to you.... Looking forward to the next chapter.

Yeah, the dodgeball thing was just a bit of filler fun, partially put in just so that I could get the team's lineup straight.

"I just prefer to write Dawn into earlier seasons when I can." O.O You just earned yourself a cookie, so as the reviewer who gave you the POV idea. Didn't expect you to pull it out so well, but it's my own ignorance.

Confusion came from her usual status as a memory at this point. So it seemed like this is Xander retelling his adventures with Xmen to somebody else, but with added Dawn moments after her summoning. Kind of like a story within a story. I have got to stop doing this to myself.
Whuh, I was pretty sure you wouldn't have used Glory outside Sunnydale, but it's still nice to be reassured.

What else, oh yeah. The nightmare flashbacks worked really well, when you mentioned their captivity been a catalyst.

The cookie is appreciated, now if I could only figure out how to get it out of the computer...

And thanks, I wasn't sure if Xander's nightmares/flashbacks were being handled well.

Sweet but extremely filler in scope that didn't help move along the plot. What will happen next? Do you plan for Xander to go back or is he still hesitant? I don't really understand him apart from issues and things besides why leave his sisters that seem to have taken him in?

Oh yeah, extremely filler chapter, mostly just to show what's going on in the heads of a few other characters and give me a chance to point out how Xander's dealing with the whole 'clone' thing. I do plan for Xander to return to Sunnydale at some point, but how much he plans to involve himself into X-men business has yet to be determined, and, really, a sibling relationship isn't enough to stop him from returning home, though it will make him postpone his departure.

Whuh, my body wasn't ready for a chapter this soon.

To tell you the truth, I was going to take a little break from Xanderdom. With some really weird news about Marvel Now, Tv not been as fun anymore and game developers making really peculiar choices. It all just.... maybe a bit too much drama from my part.... the main point is, does this give me hope for the ''future'' ? On a scale from Yes to NO... Yes, yes it does.

It didn't look or sound forced, interactions even had more \zing\ than the previous chapter. Different POVs added this, I dunno.. ''expansion''. Laura's seemingly innocent way of thinking, Julian picking another table, triplets treating him as their lost ''sister'', Cessily been a real bro, Nori and David.. just wonderful and in character..if I remember them correctly.

You addressed some of my questions, giving a better understanding and reminding us that those are still ''kids'' with ''normal'' problems (something even comic books traded for unneeded teen drama). A nice calm, before THE storm. MUOHAHAHAHAHA.. aghm >.>
I even like the rocket launcher idea, leaving it in a mall always seemed stupid and a good way to get arrested (if sunnydale had working law enforcement). Even though it's empty. Dawn part confused me a bit.
I can't wait to read more, so continue with the good work.

Thanks, another reviewer pointed out that I was severely limiting the view of the reader by only showing Xander's point of view, so this chapter was mostly to give a few other characters a bit of the spotlight to show what they're going through before we move on with the story.

As for Dawn, what part confused you? If it's the fact that she's already in Sunnydale, it's not a hint that Glory's coming so soon. I just prefer to write Dawn into earlier seasons when I can.

Nice moment with the Cuckoos there, pretty sweet to confront their brother like that.

I thought so. Glad you're enjoying it.

I like it. Part of me though wants to see Xander and Ms. Frost actually get closer. I know that it's unlikely and all, but the fact remains that she is the best parent that he has, you know? I like how he and and his sisters have pretty much accepted each other though, it makes for an interesting dynamic. Here's to hoping we see more soon.

All the best,
Semet

Yeah, the Cuckoos are looking for family after they've lost some of their own, but Emma just isn't that maternal.

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

*Snicker* There are more ways then one to have carnage on the dodgeball field.

I guess... I'm not really sure what you're getting at here.

Logan's a bad influence on all...that's what makes him a good mentor and friend. keep up the good work

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

HA! i like it.

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Really enjoyed the bit of introspection from Laura on the act of prayer and the feeling of connection that she was trying to achieve from it. It was nice seeing the Cuckoos working around the block they're finding with Xander to try and build their connection with him, where Kitty, one of the most empathetic X-men failed. Hope that we actually DO see Xander talking with Logan about their life experiences. That could be some really engaging conversation.
Really solid entry on this story, some really nice character development that really explored the reasons behind the actions of each of them. Made for a really nice read. Looking forward to seeing what you've got planned next.

Thank you, I'm really glad to hear that and I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

Interesting as always, looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for taking the time to write this.

No problem, thank you for taking the time to review.

Great new chapter. :) Keep up the awesome work. :)

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

*snicker*

Thanks... I think.

Not my fave fic, but still fun to read. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
