AN: Hmmm, so I have come forward with a new chapter finally. Sorry about disappearing for the last few days. But I have been with my sister and dealing with a sinus infection. *shivers* Yeah. Not to happy.
*~*~*~*
Finding Xander on the top of the building where Dicks condo was, Batman narrowed his eyes as the cross dresser simply turned a page in the thick tome that sat before him on the lounger and wrote something down.
“Who are you?” he asked, barely keeping the snarl out of his voice as Xander simply continued to take notes from the large tome.
“Alexander Lavelle Harris,” Xander replied, flipping a page, never once looking up at Batman, pushing the caped heroes’ buttons. “I live with one Dick Grayson and I cross dress. Anything else you want to know?” he asked, almost bored sounding. Batman narrowed his eyes as he felt his ire at the pretty male before him rise.
“That tells me a whole lot. Why are you so damn respected?” Batman growled, making Xander finally look away from his current page and lean his head on one hand.
“You know, you almost sound as if you’re whining at the fact that you can’t seem to open your mind a little and look at all those little sites that you don’t think are worth while, much less any good for research,” Xander said, voice nearly teasing. Batman just narrowed his eyes until they were mere slits, drawing himself together as his cape settled around his body in a black shroud. “So horrifying,” the younger male sighed before returning to his book.
“I don’t know why you want me to look at such sights that concerns creatures that don’t exist,” was the cold reply. Xander flicked his eyes upwards before looking back down at the book and wrote something down.
“Oh yes, and the people you work with are so normal,” he snorted.
“What the hell do you mean?” Batman asked, moving closer before stopping, knowing that his techniques wouldn’t work on the cross dresser. Xander finally sighed and tucked away his notepad into his place in the book and closed it before looking up at him.
“It means that there is more on this Earth then just a Martian that can look like any human out there, or a Kryptonian that uses the suns rays to power his very being. It means that there are indeed creatures of myth and lore that hide right under the surface,” Xander said, the tone of his voice cool, almost as if he was lecturing a child instead of Batman, the Dark Knight himself.
“There…” Batman started before stopping himself at the cocking of one skillfully plucked eyebrow.
“There is, Batman. There are demons that will devour your very being before chewing on your soul for all of eternity. There are demons that look horrifying but are the sweetest creatures out there. There are fairies and fae and creatures long thought of myth and lore,” Xander said, standing up and smoothing down the simple pair of pants and shirt, looking quite a bit more intimidating then Batman at that moment. “Now, I have fought those creatures, I have made friends with those creatures and I have learned all about the history of the world around us. A history that most historians would scream in horror at.”
“How did you find out about it?” Batman asked, his innate curiosity getting the better of him. Xander smirked and pointed to the tome on the chair.
“I read. Most of the books are written by the peaceful demons that have genetic memory. They’re born with the history already there in their very minds; it’s just a matter of pulling it forward and writing it down. There are things still missing, small battles and wars, people, but they are working on it. They have been from the start of the world around us,” Xander replied, shrugging, his hands tucked into his pockets. He looked like every other male out there despite his lean frame and long hair, making Batman wish to shift on his feet at how different he could be with just a change of clothes.
“Anything else I should know about that particular world?” Batman asked, knowing that he would need to do quite a bit of information searching and probably revise his opinion of Dicks young roommate.
“Yeah, if you run across someone that looks human but has the same temperature as the air around them, and they’re attacking someone, aim for the heart. They’re vampires: demons possessing a human body with all of their memories and none of their humanity,” Xander said, shrugging as he scratched the back of his head. “Your research is going to drive you to drink once you get over the fact that there are things out there that you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley way. Don’t please?”
Nodding, the two stared at each other before the hero broke the silence that hung around them. “What’s your connection to Catwoman and the Joker?” Xander sighed and rocked on his feet, eyeing the broad man before him.
“Before Catwoman was Catwoman she was a simple woman named Selena Kyle, as you probably know. Same with the Joker. Before the Joker was the Joker, his name was Jack and he worked for some people that weren’t so nice. Selena was dating one of those not so nice guys,” Xander finally said, using a finger to scratch his cheek. “They met and had an affair. I’m a product of that affair. Since Selena was in such a bad relationship with her now very dead ex-boyfriend, and Joker was on his downwards spiral into madness, they gave me up. I was adopted when I was two weeks old and moved to Sunnydale.”
Batmans eyes widened in surprise, body going ramrod straight as Xander smiled sadly, shrugging one shoulder.
“I found out when I was 13 and showing certain traits that come from Selenas family. Since my traits rarely just show up, I did a little digging and found out that she was my biological mother and some guy named Jack was my biological father. Though the trail went cold on Jack about 3 months before the Joker popped up, Selenas trail was pretty steady considering how many articles were written about her,” he continued. “I couldn’t do shit about it until this year. I finally got tired of things in Sunnydale and came here to get away from that drama. It seems I traded one drama for another. All of the other information that you want about me, you have to go hunting for it.”
“It’s out there, just waiting for me to open my mind, right?” Batman asked, lips quirking upwards in a smirk. Xander snickered and nodded his head.
“That’s right, Batty. Just remember, I’m not my biological parents. I’m here to contact Selena so I can find out a few things about my traits and abilities. I’m not a hero but I do kick ass if it calls for it,” he warned, leaning down to pick up his tome and pen once more, tucking it into the crook of one arm. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to write an essay about this big ass thing in the Latin that I know to show just how much I do know,” he said, nodding his head before heading for the stairs to pad down the one flight of stairs to the condo that he shared with Dick.
Batman watched the young man with contemplative eyes before turning and leaving the roof himself via grappling hook. Sliding into his vehicle, he let it drive on automatic, allowing him to think and mentally prepare himself for his world to be shifted upside down. And to call a few friends to pump them for information about that world.
Hopefully they would answer his questions.
