Escaping Relativity

Charlie doesn't mind being bait. But currency? To save the lives of those she loves, the galaxy, and even the future, she'll have to find out who she really is, and what she's really worth. Favors aren't free. Xander managed to indebt himself to two different factions, and even a young kid he called The Wizard, all to find The Time Keeper in order to get his brother back from the Dilligara. A phenomenal agent, Charlie had never run up against an evil she couldn't dispatch, but be damned if Xander didn't want to stick her on a pedestal. Cash, currency. That's what she was to him. He intended to trade her in for his kid brother. A notion that Charlie understood, and didn't begrudge him at all...she just wanted to help, so she did what she could when she could, regardless of what Xander, Master Tracker commanded. Xander didn't care about the genetic anomaly which made her the coveted Time Keeper. His purpose for her was personal, and as the terms went by, his purpose grew even more personal. What was he going to do with her? What didn't he want to do with her? No, she was currency, the ticket to his brother's release. That was it...or was it?
