I am the one with out powers or abilities. I don't have super strength, or super speed, or an innate knowledge of combat. I don't have access to the powers of the earth and other realms of mysticism. I don't have the knowledge and learning of the ancient world, and don't even get me started on languages; I have a hard enough time with English from time to time. I don't have a demon inside of me, but I do seem to attract them to me, which yields a very scant dating life. I am a trained carpenter, and not a half bad foreman… At least I was until a preacher following the greatest of our enemies gouged out my left eye for being 'The One That Sees'. The only thing that I really have going for me is the multiple possessions in my life.
Possessions… Yeah, I wish I was talking about stuff, but unfortunately, or fortunately as the case may be, I am talking about the more esoteric variety. There was the 'Hyena Incident' that was pretty cut and dry, but I healed quicker than normal from that point on. No where near Slayer level, but quicker than I did. Then there was the 'Helloween Situation'. I was possessed by a soldier, whose last name just happened to be Harris also. When the spell was broken, I was left with the fractured and fading memories of said soldier. Let me tell you, not the best thing in the world, but it did come in handy from time to time.
I have found myself relying on them more and more lately. This new world that was created by the potential activation spell that Willow did caught us all by surprise. We were just trying to win the fight and survive in the process. For the most part we did pretty well at that. For the aftermath we were not that prepared. Instead of 'One Girl in All the World'… Well, two thanks to yours truly and a goof off health class in which I learned CPR, there were now fifteen hundred called Slayers. Some were young, to young for us to even think about putting them into the field, those we set up to explain the changes that they had gone through, and trust me if you thought going through the 'Talk' with your parents was weird, then this was truly out there. We set up training classes for them and their families, and a summer camp to help them along. Camp Vamp is quite the success. There were those that were already of age and living their everyday life. We didn't want to disrupt that life unless they wanted to do it. They did receive the full "The World Is Older Than You Know' speech, as well as training and emergency contact numbers for local active slayers and Slayer Central.
Getting to Slayer Central… That is where the five hundred plus active Slayers, their Watchers, Mages, Wiccans, Covert Operatives, Overt Operatives, general support staff, and then there is me, The Zeppo, the one with out powers or abilities. My name is Alexander Lavelle Harris, The One that Sees, Director of Operations of the International Council of Watchers Reformed. I run this place. There is not an active Slayer Operation or Maneuver that I don't know about and okay. My name is Xander.
AN: This is just a little prep for the excitement of the Season 8 Comic coming out in two or so weeks.
