"This is to easy .." Spike smirked, swaggering through the doorway .

"Don't be so sure , we can't afford to get to cocky." Angel remarked, pushing cobwebs aside .

"What you worried about ? We fought that battle and we won ! We can handle this , no problem."

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. It's all to easy , we shouldn't be here , pretty much unharmed. We were out-numbered. Inches from death , moments away from hell . Why did we survive ?"

"Cause we're the heroes ?"

Angel shook his head , in deep thought .

"No , somethings going on . And I want to know what ."

"Well figure it out later , right now , we have a vampire nest to clean out!" Spike punched his fist into his hand, hyped for a fight . This would be there first since the battle. Angel nodded, his dark eyes adjusting to the dim light of the warehouse. He could hear screams ...and smell blood. They were close .

"So what's the plan ? Get in , stake and get back out ?" Spike asked .

"If you want to get killed , then yes . If you'd like to see tomorrow , no . We'll have to think about this rationally and -"

"Too hell with that!" Spike said , and charged at the vampires.

"Spike! No!"

Angel hit his forehead with his hand and followed .

He raced over to help Spike , who was already out-numbered by the vampires .

"Here comes the Calvary!" One said ,

Angel glared at him , before jambing the stake into his chest.

As well as they fought though , there were too many vampires for just the two of them alone .

"Now you've done it !" Spike said ,

"Me ? Who was the one who charged in without a plan ?" Angel growled , throwing a vampire off his back .

" It's still your fault ,"

" Even though we're in danger , you still find time to argue with me ."

The vampires glanced at each other in confusion , before continueing with there attack .

"STOP!" .

The voice echoed around the room , bouncing off the walls. The vampires (including Angel and Spike) winced as the sound met their ears . The vampires nodded and stepped back as Angel and Spike looked around to see who had made the noise .Their jaws dropped.

"Bloody hell!" Spike breathed .

"Connor ?" Angel asked, unsure on if it was really his son .

"Hi, Dad " Connor said, stepping into the light , a smile on his twisted face.

"No .." Angel stepped away from his son . "No.."

"What ? Don't you like the new me ? Cause I sure as hell do!"

"You're a -" Spike started

"Vampire ? " Connor laughed , his laugh not meeting his eyes ," Yeah . I don't know why you guys complain so much . It's friggin' awesome !"

" You don't understand.." Angel said quietly ,

"What's to understand ? Yeah okay , no sunlight , crosses , holy water , but what the hey! You have power, your strong , there's no one to stop you...That is ...Until you guys show up . You ruin all the fun . That's what I don't understand . You must be mentally disturbed to not like this !"

"Now look here kid , I had a bloody chip in my brain that stoped me ! So don't call me mentally disturbed ! You get into a habit after a while!" Spike defended himself .

"So rip it out!"

"I have but I asked-"

Connor turned away , not caring what Spike had to say .

"You mean to tell me , you don't love this ?" He grabbed a young woman , sliding his hand around her waist and tilting her head to the side with his free hand . His tongue ran from under her ear , to the nape of her neck , where he sank his fangs into her tender flesh , ripping open a vein and drank from her.

Angel watched in silence as the woman's gasps died down . The colour drained from her face and her eyes slide out of focus. Her breathing shallowed and came to a halt .

"Aren't you going to do anything ?" Spike asked , in shock

"What's the point ? She's dead ."

" You could have stopped her dieing !"

"My son's dead .."

"Oh Boo-hoo!" Conor micked ," Be joyful! This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me . You know , you're no fun . So do what you will , I'm going back to haveing my fun . " He turned an disappeared into the shadows . The vampires started to reinforce their circle around them .

"Angel! Move !" Spike yelled .

Angel stood there , not seeming to hear Spikes yelling .

Growling , Spike pushed his way through the crowd of vampires , grabbed Angel by the arm and dragged him outside .
