Slayer Pryde
A Buffy the Vampire Slayer/ X-men universe cross-over (focusing on Kitty Pryde)
Disclaimer: We, the authors, do solemnly swear that we do not own any of these characters. We are simply borrowing them and promise to play with them nicely and put them back when done. As for money, we have none, are making none from this, and do kindly ask that you not sue us. Thank you.
Notes: My roommate and I started this story a few years ago. I decided to post it to see what people thought of it. Feel free to leave honest opinions (good and bad) as well as any praise or criticism. Marvel ignores continuity when they want and so do we. This will also be an AU for Buffy breaking at some point in season five, before Glory, before Tara and Willow became an item, but after Spike got chippy.
Now, on with the fic. -
Prologue
The vampire crouched behind the tree and waited. Its prey was in sight, all it had to do was sit back and wait. It chortled at its good fortune. The girl, its prey, was foolish enough to be walking alone. She was such an easy target. Most people on the U.C. Sunnydale campus knew enough to employ the buddy system after dark. The girl was either fearless, stupid, or new to the area. Possibly all three, ultimately the vampire didn't care. All she was now, was lunch. The vampire leapt at her from the shadows.
Buffy wheeled around easily slaying the vampire. "Just can't resist an easy target." She sighed. "Sorry, I'm not on the menu tonight."
Poof.
The vampire was dust.

The X-men breathed a collective sigh of relief as they walked into the mansion.
"Ah nevah thought we'd be finished with those Crimsin Pirates." Rouge sighed.
"Or the Neo!" Bobby chimed in.
"Or the rest of those idiots." Jean added in exasperation. The rest of the team wisely let the subject drop there. It was better not to annoy Jean.
"By the by, what happened to Katzchen?" Kurt asked bewildered.
The blank look on everyone's face prompted Logan to respond. "You mean, no one knows."
Peter gulped; not quite sure that even in his armored form he would be able to withstand Wolverines' claws. It was Rouge (with her invulnerability) who found the courage to speak up.
"Well, uh, y'see sugah, we don't but."
"You mean you LOST HER?!" Wolverine demanded, popping his claws.
"Lost who?" Kitty asked as she walked through the door (literally) and headed for the fridge.
"Katya! You were able to escape the station before it blew up!" Peter blurted out.
"Let me get this strait." Wolverine said through clenched teeth, "You left her. on a space station. that you knew was about to BLOW UP?!"
Kitty turned from the fridge, orange juice in hand. Reaching for a glass she spoke casually, "Yeah, I told them to."
Wolverine sheathed his claws.
"After all, if they had stayed my plan wouldn't have worked. Oh, by the way, I just stopped by to get my things. I'm going to college." With that Kitty exited the same way she had entered, leaving a stunned silence in her wake.
"Are you sure about this?" Jean asked at the airport as Kitty handed her the last of the information she had for where she would be staying.
"Yeah, I wanted to when I came back to the States."
"But California is so far." Ororo cautioned.
"No offense Ororo, but that's kinda the point. Besides I've spent the last few years on the other side of the ocean." Kitty shrugged.
Ororo nodded. "Our doors are always open. Don't hesitate to call."
"I'll keep in touch." Kitty promised, hugging her friend.

Buffy stared at the room assignment in horror. "I don't believe this!" She wailed, "I know the form was a couple of days late for a single room, but I was saving the world!"
"Again." Willow piped up.
"That's right! I mean, if I had stopped my saving the world activities to fill out and turn in a stupid form, we wouldn't need dorms!" Buffy paused, glancing at the paper before she tossed it in Willows general direction. "And Miss Katherine Pryde, who ever she is, would have to find a new school. Isn't Kathy short for Katherine? This had better not be another demon roommate."
Willow picked up the paper. "Hey! I know a girl named Pryde!"
"Willow, please tell me your kidding." Buffy groaned.
"No." Willow responded innocently as she studied the assignment. "Oh. but this can't be her." Willows voice fell, "She lives in Illinois, not New York. Weird, I wonder how many Katherine Pryde's there are in the world. Anyway I should get going." She gave Buffy a conspiratorial glance, "I hear someone in the driveway."
