Angelus walked into the large dining room where he was supposed to meet Buffy and the others. He kissed her cheek then sat down beside her. She was frowning and he wanted to know why. "What's the matter?"
"We can't find Andrew anywhere. He was in the labs with Fred but he seems to have disappeared."
"I bet that he found an orgasm buddy. This is not fair everyone has orgasms but me." Anya protested loudly.
"I'm sure that he will turn up. Was Giles able to send any of the girls off?" His voice was hopeful and she smiled at him.
"Yeah, we are already down to six. Several of the secretaries made their travel arrangements and they are going to the airport after we eat. That is why we are waiting on Andrew. Everyone wants to be together this last time." Buffy rolled her eyes so that only Angelus could see her.
"What is Giles going to do with the rest of them?"
"He has some Watcher friends in England who are willing to take over their guardianship. Willow found all the money and accounts the night I was with you. Turns out they were planning on packing everyone up and pulling a Houdini." Buffy's voice held a hard edge telling her mate exactly what she felt about her 'friends'.
"Buffy, I told you that Giles was going to come and find you." Willow repeated but couldn't look her best friend in the eye. Kennedy came up with the idea for them to leave and everyone was in on the plan. Some reluctantly but they all agreed, no one told Spike or Faith. They planned to fool them into believing they were coming to LA to get Angel to help them.
"Whatever Willow. I'm tired of hearing it. It doesn't sound any better now than it did the first two times you explained it. When are you leaving?"
"What? I wasn't going to go with them. I planned to stay here and help you and Angel."
"No, I think that it would be best for you to continue with your plans. Maybe our little gang has been together too long. I'm sure that Giles will appreciate your help and you wanted to go back to the coven. I know that Dawn wants to stay with the girls and Giles. She asked me this morning if she could still go. Seems that your little friend, Kennedy, told her it was my idea for all of you to leave."
"She what!"
Kennedy walked in followed by a rumpled Andrew. He came and sat down with an angry look on his face. "That girl is just plain mean."
"Where have you been, Andrew? We have been waiting here for over 45 minutes. What happened to you?"
He blushed looking away. "I told you that he had an orgasm buddy." Anya accused with a huff and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I did not! I got lost, okay. Then some guy was harassing me for being where I wasn't supposed to be. I told him off in Vulcan. You get more than you bargained for when you mess with me." Andrew's voice had an uncharacteristically hard tone.
"Whoa, go killer. You got me shaking in my leathers." Faith messed up Andrew's hair as she sat down. He smiled at her and his face turned bright red.
"You have been having sex, I can tell. Who was it? Why is everyone getting to have sex but me?" Anya glared at them all as if there was a conspiracy.
"Some of us are just talented I guess." Faith grinned. "Hey Big A, how's it hanging with you and big sis? You make up all night?" Her eyebrows waggled up and down.
"Morning too." Buffy said slyly. Her hand was wandering up her lover's leg.
"Way to go, B." The two Slayers grinned at each other with the exact same smug smiles.
Giles took the girls to the airport after lunch. The estrangement between him and Buffy was firmly back in place. She would only speak to Dawn, Faith and for some reason Anya. Buffy wished each of the girls well in life then walked out of the dining room. Angelus followed after her never saying a word. After returning from the airport, Giles sighed when he heard a knock at his door. He was surprised to see Angel standing there.
"May I come in?"
Giles stepped back. "Of course, come in Angel. What can I do for you?"
"It's about Buffy; I think it would be best if you and the rest of the Sunnydale crew went on to London. She needs some time Giles to get over her hurt. The longer that you are here to remind her; the longer it will take."
"I see and does Buffy know that you are here?"
"No, I came because I left her in tears. I'm worried and I don't know how much more that she can take. Rupert, please for her."
"Very well, Angel. We will go as soon as I can make the arrangements."
"That isn't necessary W&H company jet is ready and waiting for you to leave in the morning. You will see this is the best thing all the way around." Angelus started for the door.
"I would like to see her before I go, with your approval of course." Giles couldn't keep the sarcasm out of his voice.
"I don't control her. No one controls her. I would have thought you better than anyone understood that much about her."
"I apologize; the last few months have been trying." Giles rubbed his glasses while he held the door open for Angel.
The next morning was strained for everyone. Buffy reluctantly hugged everyone goodbye. She agreed to Dawn go; she wanted to train to be a Watcher with Giles. Anya decided to stay in LA and strangely enough, so did Andrew. Faith was going just to help Giles control the girl's then was turning around to come back to Wesley. The former Watcher kissed her passionately in front of everyone, which caused Faith to do something unbelievable - blush. Cordelia was even pleasant to everyone. No one was sure if it was because they were leaving. Her changed attitude made several people uncomfortable. The mega watt smile she kept glued on her face was freaky.
After they left for the airport, Angelus led everyone to his office for their regular morning meeting. Eyebrows rose when Lindsey McDonald walked into the meeting.
"What is he doing here?" Wesley looked at their former nemesis with concern.
"It seems that Lindsey is here to help Gunn with the large workload. It's okay, we have already talked and I checked him out personally. He is on the up and up."
"What about Eve, is she gone?" Cordy's voice was full of hope to have the pretty liaison out of the way.
"Who is Eve?" Buffy asked because she hadn't met anyone until now that she didn't know.
"You mean that Angel doesn't tell you everything?" She gave Buffy a knowing smile, happy that everything wasn't perfect between the two star-crossed lovers.
"He's told me enough but at you saw the other morning, Cordelia, we don't spend all of our time talking." She caressed her lover's face and he bent down to give her a passionate kiss.
"Humph," Cordelia smiled at Lindsey who smiled back.
He let his eyes roam the room. They lingered on the Slayer. Too bad, I couldn't follow through on the original plan. His bright blue eyes kept moving then swung back landing on Anya. Well hello gorgeous, I could definitely handle some of that.
"Lindsey, I don't believe that you have met everyone. This is Buffy, Anya, Andrew and Fred."
His eye twinkled when they caught Anya's. She did something totally out of character; she didn't say a word. Anya sized up the yummy lawyer when a spark of determination entered her eyes.
The meeting broke up half an hour later and everyone returned to their offices. He head shot up when he heard his door open then shut. "Can I help you?"
"Yes, I believe that you can." Anya smiled then walked confidently toward his desk. "You are just the person that I need to help me take care of a problem."
"What might that be, Miss?"
"Anya just Anya. I need an orgasm in the worst way, and you look like you can handle the job."
Lindsey choked a moment then laughed. "Well darlin, I think that I can handle that. You are a blunt one aren't you?"
"People waste time by not saying what they mean. How they ever expect to get what they want if they don't speak up." Anya cocked her head to the side as if he could answer this age-old question.
"You got me there, sugar. You sure you aren't lawyer."
"Nope, just an ex-vengeance demon. Do you have a problem with that?"
Anya had already dropped her blouse to the floor, and was bending over to remove her shoes and pants.
He admired the powder blue French lingerie she wore. A minuscule demi-bra that was more of a shelf for her high firm breast. Her slender hips were encased in a garter belt and tiny butterfly throng set. The thong was more of a peak-a-boo scrap of lace.
"I prefer my partners bare, Lindsey. I find it much more comfortable. It's easier to reach all the good places."
He grinned as he pulled off his tie. Anya went to lock the door then took his phone off the hook. Lindsey watched her move confidently around his office, arranging things to her liking. He laid his clothes on his chair and walked up behind her. His hands came up to pull her bra down to bare the rest of her breasts.
"Darlin, it should be against the law to cover up something this nice."
He rubbed against her, while Anya curved her body to mold into his.
"You are nicely large for a man your height. I know I'm going to enjoy many orgasms from you. First time fast or slow, I'll pick the second time."
"Second time, you're awful confident, darlin."
"No, Lindsey I'm awfully good. Fine, I'll pick and I choose fast. I'm horny right now, so we can go slower later."
His hand moved to her slender thigh to tease beneath the lace.
"You feel nice, Anya, all smooth and soft," he whispered in her ear.
"Yes, it makes the orgasms much better don't you think. Lindsey, are you going to talk or do you know what to do with that besides rubbing up against me? Don't get me, ooh, yes, that's nice."
He pushed her over, and Anya grabbed the back of her knees.
"Do you like that, darlin?"
"Yes, I find that stimulating. I like it much better when you...oh yes just like that."
They spent an hour enjoying each other until Lindsey begged for mercy. She knew positions he never heard of, but he sure would use them again. Anya left with a happy smile, and they agreed to meet up later today. She was barely gone ten minutes when the door opened again.
"Couldn't stay away darlin?"
"Hi, Lindsey." Cordelia smiled, walking into his office, moving to close the door.
"Cordelia," he exclaimed. "We shouldn't meet here, darlin, anyone could see us. You hurry back to your office, and I'll meet you somewhere safe. Where's a good place for you?"
"I understand. Come to my apartment, I'm not close to anyone else, so no one will see you. We can get better acquainted. You know, maybe become 'close' friends. We could even seal the deal, if you're lucky."
She stood between his legs while he stayed seated. Smiling brightly, she leaned over giving him a clear view of her breasts; he could see all the way down to her navel.
Lindsey smiled appreciatively while he brought his hands up to support the large mounds. He squeezed what would fit into his hands. She smiled even brighter as she pulled him forward.
Yes, he'll do whatever I want. Men just love my breasts.
"Darlin, we need to be careful, because it will take more than a few minutes to enjoy this much bounty. You run along, before you make me lose control."
She giggled, "You sure that you don't want just a taste?"
"Oh, honey, it doesn't even begin to describe what I want to do to you."
"Okay, Lindsey, I'm going home early. I'll be waiting for you, think about me."
She waved to him as she left his office.
He watched the door close and sighed, "Man those breasts are nice and big, but they don't feel real. They're all hard and stuff. What's wrong with real boobs? Maybe I'm just it's just my redneck showing through. Well, it looks like you're going to have to take one for the team, ole boy."
Connor followed Cordelia and listened in on the conversation between her and the lawyer. He was just about to leave when someone called his name.
"Connor, hi!" Harmony rushed toward him on four-inch stilettos.
"Oh, hi Harmony. How've you been?"
"Fine," she smiled at him. "Listen, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me tonight." She liked the slender teenager that looked the same age as her.
"You want me to go out with you? Why?"
Connor wasn't used to anyone paying much attention to him, except for Cordelia. That was only when she wanted him to do something for her. Otherwise, she treated him more like her pet.
"Well, I think you're cute and want to get to know you better. I don't bite people anymore, so that shouldn't be a problem. What's the matter, don't you like blondes. Oh, that's silly everybody does." Harmony grinned at her silly notion.
"No, I do I mean yeah, I like blondes. Where would we go?"
"How 'bout dancing? Then we can take it from there."
Connor shuffled his feet he mumbled. "I don't know how to dance."
"Course you do. Just think of it as fighting, but no hitting."
She smiled charmingly at him hoping that he would say yes.
He didn't understand what she was talking about, but thought that she was pretty, especially when she smiled.
"Where do you want to go?"
"How about I'll meet you here at 7, and we can decide then."
"Okay, I'll see you then Harmony."
He watched her hips swing from side to side, while she walked away. Conner forgot about Cordelia and the conversation. He had a huge smile plastered across his face as he strutted down the corridor.
Knox and Fred were working in the lab when a large crate was delivered.
"What is that?" Fred asked her new science partner.
"it's from an archeological dig over in Ireland. They want to see if we can figure out anything about it. The symbols aren't in a known language. Pretty neat, huh?" He was prying open the large box while he spoke over his shoulder.
The outer layer fell away to reveal a solid marble rectangle . Embedded in its top and sides where gold inscriptions. The top had large symbols and what appeared to be unbelievable sized diamonds and rubies. The center held a pyramid with a 'diamond' the size of a softball.
"They tried to dig out the stones with no luck. They couldn't even find a seam. it's like a huge puzzle box." Knox sounded like a little boy on Christmas morning.
"Wow, this could be fun to solve. I'm sure there is some mathematical quadrant that could be used to determine what the key is most likely to be to be able to find a proper translation base." Fred's brain was already spinning through equations and their probabilities for success.
Buffy was in a separate lab with Wesley, Angelus, Lorne and Connor had just arrived. They were going to test out her strength, and the scythe's capabilities. They were watching her through a two-way glass as she stood in the middle of a large empty room. She had her eyes closed, and the scythe lay loosely by her side.
"Why are her eyes closed?" Connor asked his father.
Angelus turned to his 'son.' "She's going to see how much stronger her senses are also. Now, be quiet you may learn something."
Connor just nodded. Angel treated him differently ever since his soul was returned. He admitted to himself, he actually liked him better now. Angel treated him like an adult, whatever he did was his own responsibility. It was as if over night he finally realized that he wasn't a kid anymore.
They watched as several doors opened at once, allowing five large demons into the room. Angelus' eyes never left Buffy. The demons were large and imposing, each known for their strength and fighting capabilities. Buffy remained relaxed with her body still, her senses screaming at her. She felt as if she split into five separate bodies. Her speed was so fast that Buffy looked like she was standing still. She spun to the side to slice off the head of one demon, while a kick sent another flying into the wall. Buffy ducked below a large spike, she swung the scythe and took off the offending arm. They watched her fight; everyone seemed to hold their breath at the scene in front of them. She was a blonde blur of movement.
"Wow," Connor exclaimed. He couldn't believe what this one small girl was able to do.
Buffy ran up the wall over the top of a demon, sliced off its head. She then propelled her body off the wall straight into the last demon's body. Her body spun in mid-air like an ice skater. They almost missed her arm reaching out to split her opponent in half before landing on the floor in a crouched position. Buffy breathed shallowly but was by no means out of breath. She looked up at the window and directly at her mate. "What's the verdict?" Complete silence answered her. "Uh guys, are you still there?"
"Ioniin, we are here are you all right?"
"Yea baby, I feel great. I'm a little hungry though." She smiled at him wolfishly.
"Oh, Oh! Well we better get you some food, I'll be right there." Angelus turned back to the others. "Review the tapes and we will talk later. I need to get her back to the penthouse; I mean get her some food."
"That's okay Angelcakes, we know what you mean. Go on and be sure you feed our little Xena." Lorne smiled at his friend happy that he had someone that made him happy.
Angelus left quickly and Connor turned to the other two men. "What does he mean? Why is he in such a hurry to feed her?"
"Well, Connorkins, it's like this. There is hungry and there is HUNGRY! When you get a little older you will understand."
"Oh, you mean that they are going to get naked so that Angel can put his.."
Lorne put his hand over Connor's mouth. "Uh, yeah, so Angel gave you the buzz and tweety story."
"Huh, no Angel didn't say anything. That is what I did with Cordelia the night it rained fire. I really liked it, but she will only do it when she wants me to do something for her." He replied non-chalantly.
Wesley choked and started coughing. "So, err, you and Cordelia are having intercourse regularly?"
"I don't guess I'd call it regular. We have been naked together about fifteen times. I just don't understand why we can't do it all the time. Oh, I guess that I'm not supposed to tell you this, but since Angel already knows I don't see what the big deal is." Connor shrugged his shoulders in confusion.
"You mean that Angellips knows?" Lorne's eyebrows almost touched his horns.
"Yeah, he saw us that night after the Beast was destroyed. He told me that she was all mine. I guess that means he knows that she is still letting me put my.."
Wesley quickly interrupted the teen before he could go into more detail.
"Uh, well yes, Connor, one usually doesn't describe the act that way. You normally use one or two words to describe what you mean. Like say, have sex, making love or intercourse. Do you understand?"
"Are you sure? Cordelia always just tell me how she wants it? Maybe, you should tell her that she's saying it wrong."
He looked at the former Watcher trying to understand.
"Well, when two people are...Oh, you need to speak to Angel about this."
Wesley all but ran out of the room.
Connor turned to Lorne to continue the explanation. "Don't look at me munchkin."
"But, I'm going out dancing with Harmony tonight. How do I let her know what I want if no one will explain it to me?"
"All right, Connorkins, let's go to my office. Uncle Lorne's going to need a lot of liquor to get through this conversation."
Gunn went to meet Fred in the labs, to find out when she wanted to leave for their day later this evening. He arrived in time to see her and Knox working on some strange looking block of stone. It made Gunn uncomfortable just being close to it. "Hi baby. What you got there?"
"Oh Charles, you startled me." Fred jumped when she heard his deep voice behind her. She was lost in a world of possibilities, her brilliant mind raced with equations.
"Hi guys."
Angelus and Buffy stepped off the elevator.
"Hi Buffy, Angel. Look isn't it great? We are trying to decipher what this writing and symbols mean."
"Cool, ooh, look at the pretty, wow are those real."
Buffy's finger went to touch the large center stone, but Knox stepped in the way.
"As far as we can tell they are," Fred told her, giving Knox an odd look. He was acting strange ever since they started looking at the carvings.
"Fred, we are going to leave the scythe for testing. I'll be back later to get it, okay?"
"Sure, just put it on my desk, and I will work on it in a little while. Charles and I are going out tonight, so I will be leaving about 6:00"
"That is fine. We will be back before then."
Later that night the elevator doors opened in the lab, a figure moved across the room towards the large office in the back. They stopped to look at the marble artifact and walked over to it.
"What's this doing here?"
When they reached across the top of the stone, the center diamond was accidentally pressed. A cloud of gas released, causing the figure to choke which only forced the rest of the gas into their body. The object they tried to retrieve was almost within reach when the figure fell to the floor unconscious.
"Hello, is anybody here?"
A blonde female walked into the lab. She walked over to the artifact, her hand was about to touch the center stone, when she noticed a body on the floor.
"Oh my gosh. Are you all right? Hey hello wake up already."
She shook the body, but there was no response. Rushing over to the phone, she punched in numbers frantically.
"Yes. I need medical help at the labs now."
She dialed another number but no one answered. Hanging up, she dialed another number.
"Oh Gunn, I'm glad that I caught you, come to the labs right away. If I'm already gone then go to emergency medical." She dialed the first number one more time. "Angel, there was an accident. I already called for medical. They are here now; meet me at the hospital wing, hurry!" She slammed down the phone to rush over to the EMTs. "Over here, she's on the ground. I tried to wake her but nothing worked, do something!"
They quickly moved the small body onto a gurney and rushed out of the lab just as Gunn arrived. "What's going on? What accident? Who is hurt?"
"Calm down, I'll tell you everything, but we need to make sure that she's okay."
Angelus tore through the lab doors. "What happened? Where is she? What are you doing here, anyways?"
They rushed out of the labs toward the hospital wing of W&H. Gunn found a doctor and demanded. "Where is she, what happened?"
"Follow me, please. We aren't really sure. It appears to be some type of poison. She hasn't regained consciousness and her fever spiked to 103 and is still rising. I'm afraid that it doesn't look good."
"NO!"
They approached the room where she lay on the bed looking small and pale. He approached first with his friends directly behind him. Taking her hand in his, he whispered brokenly. "Buffy, baby what happened?" Angelus begged for her to open her eyes and tell him not to worry. She looked so frail with her chest barely rising and falling. Angelus could feel the heat coming off her skin. The heat turned his normally cold hands warm by merely holding her hand.
A manicured hand touched his shoulder. "Angel, I tried to wake her up but nothing helped. The EMTs got there as fast as they could. What is the matter with her? I'll do whatever you need me to do."
"You bitch, get the hell, out of here and away from me. What were you doing there? If I find out you had anything with this, Cordelia, I will rip your throat out. Leave, I can't stand to look at you." His eyes turned amber and his forehead started to change as well.
"Angel, I didn't do anything. I called for help." She gave him her best concerned friend look.
"Somehow, I don't believe you. You hated her Cordelia. Gunn, get her out of here before I do something."
Gunn pulled her none too gently out of the room. Fred patted Angel's shoulder. "She is strong, Angel. Buffy is even stronger than before right. She will get better you'll see."
"Thanks Fred, could you leave us alone, please?" He never looked anywhere but at his mate's pale white face.
"We will be outside if you need us and I will let everyone know that you want to be alone for a while."
His eyes watched her cheeks flush and her temperature spike up another half degree. "Buff, come on Ioniin sit up and tell me that you are going to be find. Damnit Buffy wake up." He wanted to shake her, but was afraid that it would cause her more harm. Angelus sat in silence the only sounds in the room were the beeping machines and Buffy's labored breathing.
Faith walked into the W&H lobby with a sick feeling in her stomach. She was about to step onto the plane in New York, when it first hit. It was a deep sense that something was happening or going to happen to Buffy. She didn't say a word to anyone just turned around and ran back through the airport.
Thankfully, the company jet was still there, Faith jumped up the steps to board it. Ironically, the jet had tire problems which forced everyone to take a commercial line the rest of the way to London. The crew never said a word since they were used to the unusual occurring around the people that were associated with W&H.
Faith knew that her sister Slayer needed her, that Buffy was in trouble. She demanded to know where Buffy was from a scared receptionist. If she wasn't already sure there was a problem, she would from the vibe she got from each person that passed her. Faith ran into the hospital wing and the first person who noticed her was Wesley. He moved away from the others, and swept her into his arms.
"Faith, I thought you were on your way to London." He looked at her pale face, and hugged her tightly to his chest.
"Wes, where is she? Where's B, I know there's something wrong with her? Don't ask me how I know, but I do."
"What is she doing here? Don't we have enough problems with one Slayer? I mean look at the way that Angel treated me when all I was trying to do was help him."
Faith was out of Wesley's arms, and across the short distance to where Cordelia stood with her hands on her hips. The dark-haired Slayer grabbed the other woman by the throat and held her in the air. She shook Cordelia as if she weighed nothing.
"Gunn help me, she has gone crazy. She is a killer."
Fred looked at Gunn and decided to handle this alone. She stood up, walking over to the still screeching Cordelia while Wesley tried to keep from laughing. He couldn't help but feel that it was about time that someone put the pushy woman in place. Cordelia always spoke her mind without caring whether she stepped on anyone's feelings in the process. Her straightforward ways were hard to get used to but refreshing in a way. This was all before she took on the aspect of the demon to keep the visions. The seer reminded everyone about her major sacrifice, and that without her access to the Powers they wouldn't be anything.
"Hello Faith, I hope that your flight wasn't too tiring. Would you please, put Cordelia down?"
Cordelia found herself on the floor at Fred's feet. She jumped up and started to open her mouth to scream at Faith when Fred spoke up. "Shut up, Cordelia." The normally calm and sweet natured scientist's voice held an edge that only one person had heard before - Connor. The bleached blonde looked like a fish with her mouth gapping open in wonder. "You have done nothing but screech and push each of us around for the last year. I for one am tired of hearing it, so pipe down you are giving us all a headache."
"Well, I never," Cordelia huffed then brightened when she saw Connor come around the corner.
A huge smile broke out on her face, but it quickly turned into a frown when she saw that he wasn't alone. Not only wasn't he alone, but he was holding hands with Harmony Kendall of all people. Connor walked up to the others and smiled at Faith who was once again in Wesley's arms.
"I got a call from Lorne that my dad needed me. What happened did he get hurt while on patrol? Where is Buffy, was she hurt too?"
"What are you doing with Harmony, Connor?" Cordelia's eyes narrowed at her former high school friend.
"We were out on a date when Con got the call. He wanted me to come with him to make sure that Angel was all right." Harmony smiled at Connor who returned it with one of his own.
He liked learning to dance with Harmony. She was funny and sweet and kissed good. He didn't feel stupid or clumsy around her. Connor felt Harmony squeeze his hand and he squeezed hers in return.
"I think that I am going to be sick. You can't tell me that you like her, Connor. I mean not compared to.." Her voice trailed off when she realized that she almost told everyone about having sex with Connor. She couldn't believe that he would prefer the ditzy blonde over her.
"You mean compared to you, Cordy? Yes, I like her a lot more than you. Harmony likes me and wants to be seen with me and I don't mean only when she wants someone in her bed."
Faith laughed when she saw Cordelia blush furiously. "So, Queenie likes 'em young. What's the matter QB couldn't get anyone your own age?"
"Shut up, you bitch. It would be QC if you have to insist on only using people's first initials. My affairs are none of your business. At least, I was never in jail and wasn't stupid enough to sleep with Xander Harris."
Anya's eyes narrowed and she spun Cordelia around and punched her in the face in one smooth move. "Don't you ever speak about Xander like that again. You were lucky to have known a man as special as Xander. He died saving the world. What have you done except have visions and boss people around?"
"That is a good question?" Everyone turned around to see Angel standing there with Buffy in his arms. She looked so fragile that it broke all their hearts, well almost all.
"Hey Big A, how is she doing? Did the doctors tell you what is wrong with B?" Faith's large brown eyes suddenly filled with tears when she saw the fear in Angel's.
Buffy lifted her head but Angelus gave a soft rumble and she put it back down. "Faith," her voice was a soft whisper.
"Hush Ioniin, you promised to rest if I would take you back to our apartment. Faith and Connor can come with us. I'm sorry everyone but the doctor said that she couldn't have any stress."
"We understand, Angel. Just let us know if there is anything that we can do." Wesley nodded at Faith in understanding.
"Research, Wes, lots of research. We need to find out what happened and find a way to fix it. I am not going to lose her now that she is finally back in my life." Angelus walked away with Connor and Faith following behind them.
