Kendra, you have GOT to realize that in this dimension, things are not always going to play out the way that they did at home. At least you managed to stop the troll from taking out the victim, and got yourself a good nursing in the process. DO NOT think that you have to take everything onto yourself. Develop friends, and they will help you out, just like they have with Buffy.

Great chapter, full of inner tension and outer excitement. However, I'll have to backtrack to remind myself what was in that letter because it's been so long since I read this story, I can't quite remember all the little plot details.

Great Story, well written, wonderful spin on a good idea. I cant wait for more

Great story. I like how you also include other prejudices of that time - race, gender, etc. It's interesting to see Kendra's hand in forming the Institute. Keep up the good work and I look forward to reading more

Neat, I was hoping there'd be a council & slayer in this reality. Hm, will a mob be attacking Drusila there, soon? Probably not until the 1980s/90s...
She shouldn't give up on the council --next step could be to write a letter to that guy and explain the circumstances (through a portal from the future, or 'a' future)... who knows she might get a watcher out of it. Imagine Roger Pryce or a young Quentin Travers. urk. hm, maybe Whistler could show up...
* Weird to think that Mayor Wilkins is probably alive & well in Sunnydale at this moment. Too bad Kendra doesn't know about him...

Something tells me that when Kendra went through that portal, that she went through TIME as well as space, something she may not realize. But that would explain the fact that she is a slayer in New York, while another is in Prauge.

Very good chapter!

At least Kendra has her answer as to whether there IS a Watcher's Council in this world. Sounds like they are the "fully useless" kind they are in her old world.

I'd almost forgotten this story. But it's good to see it again. I like Kendra's attempts to surmount emotions; I don't necessarily see cool detachment as a weakness. She also has intelligent people on her side and now a possible connection to a Watcher. So perhaps her lifespan needn't end in her 20s.

I'm glad to see her reaching out to the other students as well. The blue girl shouldn't be worrying about boys. Whether she's got blue skin or not, boys are stupid and hormonally and don't reach proper maturity until they outgrow their own spotty self-absorption. She'll do just fine until they catch up to her level of maturity. Until then, she should ignore them and work at being the best she can be.

Well Kendra, you have a quandry on your hands. Either admit your feelings about Charles, or keep them buried and be the perfect little slayer. You have some serious thinking to do child.

It was years ago when I first started reading about the X-Men. I'd almost forgotten what had drawn Jean to Professor Xavier's attention. This reminds me startlingly about Buffy playing at being a hero with her cousin Celia and her anguish and feeling of helplessness when she saw Celia die screaming from an unknown attacker. Amazing how that sort of thing comes back to you, isn't it? Thanks for this chapter.

good

This is a very entertaining story. It's very original that it focuses on Kendra as the main character.

I think you've made Kendra way too open. She's telling the story of the Slayers way too easily. With Charles it was more or less acceptable, but telling Brandon, a boy she just met, when she could just have pretended to be a mutant, doesn't fit with her character. She was a traditional Slayer, and was taught by her Watcher to keep that secret. Also, she's unexperienced with men to the point she was flustered when Xander looked at her twice, she should have been knocked even more out of balance by Xavier's interest.

I also think you should give Erik more 'screen time'. His opinions, actions, and character developement are key for the story of the X-men universe, and yet he's fading into the background in most scenes.

Well, the school is starting to take shape. Only question is, will it work with both Charles and Erik running it?

This is an excellent chapter although I was disturbed by how quickly Brandon took off with a bunch of strangers. Someone should have chided him for that easy acceptance. The next stranger offering candy might not have his best interests in mind.

Mr. Kruchten has a glorified idea about the middle ages. Honor and bravery didn't always rank high on people's lists as ways of dealing with enemies. The time was rank with wars, plagues, diseases and bad plumbing (shudders). Still, he seems a good sort. I wonder if he'll train with Kendra or the other children.

There's one line that's rather funny although I'm sure it's unintentional:

Spotting someone peeing around the corner, Kendra spoke, “You should come out and ask instead of hoping we will answer questions you have not asked. We do not bite.”

Although it sounds like the place where people might urinate with the door open, I'm pretty sure you meant "peeping", right? ;P

Very nice story. I don't know much about the founding of Xavier's school in the canon Marvel universe, but this one seems to be pretty nice. Hope to see more of this story soon.
