The Slayers have been spread across the global in order to fight evil. Some of them even settled in Chicago were they report back the have a mouse problem, a demon mouse problem.

It seems as if the Chi town has a case of Sunnydale forgetfulness. The citizen of the city ignore the mice destroying public and private properties, disrupting traffic, ball games and other forms of entertainment. The mice have been known to eat all of the food in restaurants too. And the biggest sin the mice have done was ruin a girls brand new outfit and her new shoes.

Well since Xander is the one who deal with any mouse problem at Slayer center, Buffy decides he would be the best one to send to deal with these little mice.

Of course someone forgets to tell Xander these mouse walk on two legs, ride motorcycle and can talk.

Challenge

= Xander is de-aged & possibly sent across realms to become the son of BAMF teen Stiles Stilinski and maybe a stalker/roofies 

= Stiles has secretly been training in self defence, weapons, magic, first aid, investigation techniques, profiling, hacking & the supernatural thanks to what been happening as he doesn't want to be a victim. 

= After getting custody of baby Xander takes a hard look at his life, friends, allies, himself and his priorities

= Ends up being less inclinded to help/lie/backup bad friend Scott & the Hale Pack unless truly necessary.

= Becomes very anti Argent family

= Doesn't tolerate anyone BS &/or Manipulations in any shape or form against him, his dad or innocents

OK, I posted this challenge on the group in Jan. and figured I should put it here too. Message #33064 to find all the comments about the challenge on the group.

I would like some more Xander in the HP world. Here are some choices for who to pair him with: Neville, Harry, Remus, Severus, Fred, George, Fred&George, Charlie, Bill.

An easy way to have him meet many of these people is that when he is in Africa he met Bill on one of his digs. And then either they get together that way, or he brings him home with him and that's how he meets the rest of the Weasleys. And maybe that's when he meets Harry, Remus and Neville.

A way for him to meet Severus is on one of the digs he got poisoned by some trap because he went with Bill, and they need Severus to make an antidote. There could even be complications because of all the things he's been exposed to over the years. (Syphilis, mermaid taint, botched spells, spells he didn't know were on him, the time Willow almost killed him on the bluffs...)

And another bunny: What if while in Africa, Xander stumbles on to something at the old Stargate site and it activates something on Atlantis and the city wants to find him, but can't. (not enough power)

Maybe he has the ATA gene in spades since he's a Hellmouth child. Maybe the Hellmouth amplifies or keeps the gene pure in it's decedents. (I don't know about this. Maybe you can think of something else you explain the almost pure ATA gene in him.)

Xander's after graduation trip didn't end up Oxnard.

After his car was fixed, he restarted his trip with a letter of recommendation from the club's own along with address to stop in if Xander made it up to Los Angeles. The address being another male strip club in which Xander can pick up some extra cash if he needs it.

What the owner of the club did or did not know is that the club he sent Xander to was a place that was used to feed the need of new prostitutes or the white slavery rings.

Luckily for Xander the place was raided by the FBI before the club owner could sell him to the white slavery ring or get him addicted to drugs and perform for the clients in the club.

While Don Eppes was taking Xander's statement his father Alan Eppes stops in. Alan looks at Xander and notices how much the young man remind him of what he looks like when he was that age and then Xander mentions his mother's name….

~*~

It turns out Alan had a night of weakness and slept with Xander's mother and Xander is Alan's son.

After reading Keira Marcos excellent story Tangled Destines, this popped up

What if Xander had the combined powers of Telepathy & Empathy from the onset of puberty due to either being psionic, part alien, natural born witch, mutant or power transfer? He would be able to fully see into the mind & heart of everyone around him honestly without any form of willful or unwillful deception. And if he has something similar to a Psionic Legacy as in Tangled Destines from a loved one, or multiple loved ones, he would be much more secure, self aware & independent psychologically, as he would know their unconditional love, affection, honesty, respect, comfort and acceptance as well as possibly gain the full knowledge of how to use the full breath of his abilities effectively, efficently and ethically whilst still fully protecting himself. Would lead to much distrust regarding Willow and later the scooby gang.

Possible Psionic Legacies could come from a deceased parent, uncle, grandparent, godparent or his best friend/possible lover Jesse 

To be possibly crossed with Supernatural, Charmed, Star Trek 2009, X-Men Movies...

This Challege could also be done effectively on Harry Potter, leading to a much more interesting, realistic and proactive main character 

= Xander as a Natural Born Witch or Practitioner-Progenitor

= Natural conflict within the gang

= Xander ending up with a character from outside Sunnydale either OC or Crossover Male or Female

= Additional Crossovers through a supportive and accepting relative of Xander who knows about magic and maybe has some themselves{Stargate, Eureka, Criminal Minds, CSI...etc}

= Comprehensive Book Of Shadows providing the full Magical-Paranormal-Supernatural lowdown of Gods, Angels, Demons, Vampires, Shifters, Fay, Monsters, Creatures, Dead, Spirits, Psychics, Hunters, Weapons, Magic Users, Magic, Protections, Natural Remedies, Prophecies, Events, Folk Tales, Artifacts, Locations, Odds & Ends...

= Positive changes to Cannon Characters/Events

1. Xander is de-aged & sent back in time to be adopted by Mark & Helen Matthews along with Paige, Tara & other male characters who was abused{maybe from another crossover such as Spencer Reid, Greg Sanders, Ryan Wolfe, Harry Potter...}, thanks to Willow addictions – leads them to being much more stable & loved as well as powerful ethical natural born witches with their own individualized & comprehensive Book of Shadows thanks to attending magic school after normal school – also leads them to fullfilling careers that help others such as teacher, cop, csi, firefighter, social worker, doctor...etc

2. Xander ends up in a loving, supportive, honest, stable, down to earth, fun relationship with Cole Turner without any of the angst, expectations, issues, demands and issues that characterized all their previous romantic & platonic relationships – both still continue fighting the bad guys but are not consumed by it all & Xander gets the thorough training & witch heritage he was previously denied thanks to the Harris & Scooby Gang – eventually leads them to adopting a son or two who are magical as well as renewing old friendships after providing the Halliwells & Scooby gang with some harsh wake up calls

3. Xander with the powerful ability of Premonitions however due to his anger-grief & hate at the death of his platonic soul mate Jesse as well as the fact that his gift didn't warn him and therefore allow him to save him, his gift becomes practically dormant, only coming out in time of great need subconsciously – Giles as an actual mature, responsible and perceptive adult noticing Xander problems and either helps him himself or gets him the help he needs to overcome the trauma of Jesse death and Staking as well as curb his other self destructive behavior e.g. Cordelia, Parents, School..etc in the form of Leo Wyatt – Side benefit is the fact that all the other practitioners of Sunnydale getting either the help needed to learn the craft responsibly, ethically & efficiently or getting permanently vanquished/bound

4. Thanks to positive Elder interference, Ethan Rayne comes to Sunnydale & opens a costume shop early – leads to Xander heritage waking up & permanently gaining the magical abilities of Divination, Molecular Acceleration/Combustion & Agilty as well as the learned abilities of Theft, Martial Arts, Languages, Weapons...when he goes as Gambit – later willow tries to take him to task for the so called 'fake' magic and demonic knowledge as it works differently between practitioners and natural borns and between the hellmouth and most of the world

5. Xander as a strong Empath who recieves his gift with the start of puberty & gets help from Jesse before he dies to control his gift however since his death he's constantly walking the thin line of emotional overload though it does lead him to making friends with the other outcasts preventing a number of issues & distancing himself from the other Scoobies even as he still patrols as he can feel Willow indifference, Buffy self absorption/shallowness & Giles disdain though with Giles he could be misreading the motivation behind the disdain

6. Xander as the first in a completely new magical bloodline & the distant nephew of Leo Wyatt who throws a fit when he finds out = leads to him calling in favours from his other charges that help him get at the very least custody of his nephew & in so doing draws attention to sunnydale numerous issues

7. Xander as the special charge of new whitelighter Patricia Halliwell – leads to a powerful, knowledgeable, experienced, thorough, protective, discreet & down to earth coven to safeguard the towns true innocents from both the nightlife & the daylife

8. Xander as half Mortal/Half Whitelighter thanks to his birth father{not Leo} - giving him the possible abilities of Scrying, Spell Casting, Potion Making, Orbing, Hovering, Glamouring, Healing, Photokinesis{paticularly useful against vampires}, Thermokinesis, Mind Manipulation, Sensing, Cloaking, Omnilingualism, High Resistance, Reconstitution, Regeneration... 

What if Xander was changed into a baby again and someone wished that he could have good parents. So this time Xander gets Colonel Jack O'Neill (Stargate) and Angus MacGyver (MacGyver)

The Scoobies explain that Dr Maggie Walsh was experimenting which creating perfect soldiers for the military and when she had discover two men who looked almost exactly alike but were in no way related she had to 'breed' them. They go one to explain how they were not the only ones to have this done to them and that many of the other have taken their children and fled.

The group also explains that they have named the child Alexander 'Xander' in honor of their friend who fell in the battle while guarding the babies.

So now you have MacGyver, Jack and a baby who might remember everything about his previous life trying to figure out what's next.

When trying to breed a better soldier, you must remember that you will need two types of soldiers in your army.  Those who are the grunts and those who lead.

The characteristics that were decided upon where:
intelligence
good health/immune system
able to thing outside the box
able to adapt and learn quicky

When these characteristics were entered into the computer, 4 names popped out:

Charlie Epps
Dr Gregory House
Anthony DiNozzo
Alexander Harris

Obtaining the men's DNA, the scientist start upon their project to create the future military leaders... until the future fathers learn what they were doing

Xander as either the hidden son of Tony Stark from around mid-late teens to early twenties OR the adopted son of Tony Stark

Xander runs away from home as a teenager{14-17(due to abuse, backstabbing, injury...all of the above...)} and runs into Tony, ends up saving his life, which eventually leads to them finding out the family connection.

Tony and his half brother Nathan join together to help and get to know Xander, ensuring he gets extensive, effective & excellent Healing, Therapy, Tutoring and Self Defence Training{in case of kidnapping & bullying}

Slowly they each form a strong and solid accepting/protective/loyal/resiliant/ perceptive/supportive/healing/in-depth relationship with each other - in the case of Tony and Nathan it also means healing at least some of the old personal hurts/issues with themselves and each other 

No one outside of the Starks and JARVIS know of the family relationship or who Xander was previously, and they try and keep it that way even after the death of Stane.

All three are skilled BAMFs, Engineers, Business Men, Humanitarians, Façade Wearers, Secret Finders & Keepers{includes the Supernatural world}, Fighters, Linguists, People Readers...

Just imagine Fury and everyone else reactions to the fact there are more Starks out there.

Xander and Faith forming a strong bond of friendship as one emotional-mental-physical-sexual abuse victim recognizing another when faith comes to sunnydale earlier - leads to them getting some mutual unconditional platonic love, affection, honesty, respect, comfort, acceptance and training leading them to being happy and healing.

Together they = Patrol sunnydale poorer areas & the underground, = earn top scores on their GED, = improve their Self Defence & supernatural knowledge, = make contacts through the kitty poker circuit, = loot caches, = pickpocket vampires, = hustle pool/darts & cards, = learn some necessary life skills, = undergoes a in-depth cleansing ritual, = get gifted in heavily warded Lapis/Koa rings from a truly peaceful race, = live/squat together, = proactively take out several threats before they become active threats in inventive ways such as Judge/Dru/Rack/Doc/Spike/Sisterhood/Belthazar depending on when Faith arrives,

Rings: warded against being taken off, unwilling teleportation, physical & spiritual possessions, harmful/malicious & shoddy magicks, tracking, impersonation,  mental & emotional compulsion/influence & tampering, unwilling magical & psionic bonds...

Also leads to Xander revealing some secrets such as = squatting/camping at Jesse abandoned house, = living out of a dufflebag, = his parents & willow illegally changing his name/birthday/various records to either get him out of the house sooner/later or mold him to be dependent.., = having legal & accurate records which show his true talents/aptitudes/health.. as well as a healthy bank account under his birth name outside of town without anybody in sunnydale knowledge, = being a single parent to a son due to sexual assault, = taking online classes..

How would things possitively change for Xander with someone at his side like a true sister who saw & accepted all of him as he is?  

The police have become interested in a small group that had moved into their fair town. Now normally the police won't take interest in anyone who moved into the town but this group is different.

First off the group is comprised most of young beautiful girls who are in they're mid-teens to early twenties. Next is a couple young geeky boys; the type of boys who would be found going to D&D gaming or sci-fi/fantasy conventions. These boys would be the ones lusting after the beautiful girls and never hanging around them like they do in this group. And finally there is Xander Harris. Somehow this one eyes man control the girls and geeky boys.

Fearing that this group might be some danger cult they try to slip a spy among them only to have them turned around. When they try to question the members of the cult they are met by silence and lawyers.

~*~

Ok it was more of a idea than a bunnie. Not really sure what universe you could cross it with. The Sentinel? Criminal Minds?
