Part 1

“So what do you want to talk about?” she asked.
Angel seemed to investigate all elements of her before taking a seat “How are you?”
“Good considering the fact that I’ve been searching this world for you for the past four years only to find you don’t want anything to do with me anymore.” “I never said that.”
“But you think it…I can see it in your eyes…your afraid of me. Of what I can do.”
“You were reckless as a child, as an adolescent, and now even though you’ve grown up you’re still like a kid looking for attention.”
“I was looking for yours” she replied “From what I hear you’re the big superhero now. So I knew the only way to lower you out of your bat cave was to create as much chaos in Gotham as possible.”
“You started reading magazines didn’t you.”
“I started.”
“And ‘Batman’ was the best example for you.”
“It seemed the most appropriate considering the dark you seem to be shrouded in…plus you know…bat.”
Angel turned back to the topic “You need to stop what your doing…”
“Is that why you’re scared of me?”
“I’m not scared.”
“Yes you are.”
“It’s just…”
“What?”
“…I’m beginning to understand why you were taken.”
Anger began to enter her eyes “What?” she spat “You understand!”
“Aidan”
“You UNDERSTAND why they took me from YOU! Well I guess that explains all of it then…”
“I didn’t mean…”
“What? You didn’t mean that you now WANT me back in that tomb…well why don’t I just frolic along back to it for another 100 thousand years in hell…and just for good measure why don’t you stick another soul in me, because what would be…”
“Stop!” Angel stood up with fire burning in his eyes.
She sat down almost with a look of fear in her eyes. “Repeat that last part” Angel said through gritted teeth.
She looked up at him “What part? The part where they tore me from you to send me into a hell dimension with a soul for 100 thousand years?”
“Yeah” Angel said “That part.”

Drake looked around the room “This place isn’t very secure” he said.
“It has a protector spell on it-so to speak” Lorne replied “No demon can come in here without us knowing.”
“So her power could give her away,” Kyle stated “We could use that.”
“Your not here to kill anyone” Lorne told him.
“Relax Lorne” Terry told him “We’re only suggesting.”
“Believe me Wes, and Gunn have enough suggestions for us” Lorne said.
The three laughed and nodded “They do seem a little stressed.”
“I think stressed is an understatement as to what they are” Lorne replied “Now, have you picked a song?”
“Relax Lorne” Drake said putting his arm around Lorne’s shoulder “You once helped us, now it’s our time to repay the favor, and believe me…we will.”
Lorne nodded “Besides, we know you need the ball.”
“Don’t worry about it Lorne” Kyle told him “We’ve got it covered, that ball is as good as yours.”
“Great” Lorne said “and the wining part won’t hurt too much.”
He then walked out. The three looked to each other “Neither will killing Blaze” Terry said.
They all smiled.

“I want you to stay away from the office” Angel said “and away from my friends. Our issues have nothing to do with them. And try to stay out of radar…until I have all this sorted out.”
She looked away from him “Okay” she said.
“Good…now remember what we talked out and I’ll talk to you later.”
She nodded then watched him leave “Sorry” she whispered “But I have to do this…for us.”

“Are you sure you’re reading the right book?” Lorne asked “I mean…exactly what we’re looking for?”
Wes looked up at him “Well we have to find out what she can do before we try find something she can’t do” he told her “While we were standing there her eyes were kind of wondering around, so I’m guessing she’s particularly new to this world.”
“Do you think she’s a time traveler?” Lorne asked.
“It could be a possibility” Wes said looking through the book “She should have…power.”
Lorne watched his face and leaned forward to try see what he was reading “What is it? Is it that bad?”
Wesley stared at the book with a confused look on, that turned into a thoughtful one. “It says here ‘the child shall have blood of a god and the soul of a demon’, then again here it reads ‘the demon shall bring upon the Apocalypse, and shall try to bring upon the end.’”
“Isn’t that what the Apocalypse means?” Lorne asked “I mean why add the end of that when it already says she’s going to…”
“You don’t understand” Wesley told him “It means that the demon will try to stop the Apocalypse.”
“But she isn’t a god.”
“Technically she’s a god among vampires being a evolution of them.”
“And her starting the apocalypse?”
“It’s confusing I know, but what I think it means is…the demon will have two parts to it. As in a split personality.”
“So this demon will try to end the world, and stop the Apocalypse at the same time.”
“I don’t know….let me see” Wesley flipped through the scrolls reading through them, he stopped at one when he saw something and read briefly through a passage.
“What’s that say?” Lorne asked.
Wesley looked up “It’s a story” he said “It talks about a citing Blaze 115 years ago” he said “It says here that she was fighting another vampire in the middle of a tavern, then another one stepping between the two and taking Blaze’s side over the other’s.”
“Two other vampires? Is it still alive? I mean you know” Lorne asked “Could we get in contact with it? I mean obviously is was deep connection if they were to take her side…”
Wesley looked up at him “The vampire she was fighting was Darla” he said “And the one who took her side…was Angelus.”
