Disclaimer- I do not own anything, everything Buffy and Angel wise belongs to Joss Whedon. What do I own? Only my ideas and characters.
Authors Note- so I was sick of not writing and decided to create another fic. This is set when Connor first gets back from the demon dimension and Holts is dead.
Buffy's mum has just passed, Angel never came to Sunnydale for the funeral and was never interested in Cordelia he thinks of her as a sister type figure. And in Sunnydale news Dawn is dead, Spike killed her.
A CHANCE ENCOUNTER
Sunnydale
Buffy was up I her room packing some clothes into a suitcase which lay on her bed.
There was a knock on her bedroom door.
"Come in" she answered quietly
It was Willow who entered "Buffy?"
Buffy looked up "Hey Will" before continuing to pack
"Are you sure you want to leave right now?"
Buffy nodded quickly
"You shouldn't be run…."
Buffy looked up at her "I'm not running!" she breathed out calming herself "I'm not…I just need some time Will….everything is just" she shook her head "messed up"
Willow nodded "I understand, but…you shouldn't be alone…"
Buffy ignored her "You guys will be fine here…Glory is gone…faiths out of jail, she'll be here next week to help you guys out"
"I'm not worried about us Buffy…you…you need help…to get through this"
Buffy turned on her heal towards Willow and raised her voice "What I need is to get away" Buffy looked down from Willow's wide eyes "I'm sorry…" she locked up her suitcase "I won't be far away if anything happens…dad's away as usual so I'm staying at his place…"
"In LA?"
Buffy pulled her suitcase from the bed and made her way to the door she looked to Willow "I'll call you"
Willow nodded and gave her friend a hug "Be safe"

LA
Angel was into his weapons cabinet quickly grabbing a few and shoving them into a large black bag.
"Angel you need to take a night off" Cordelia ordered
"I can't Connor's out there, he thinks I killed Holts, I need to set things straight"
"And all the weapons are for?" Gunn wondered
"Just defence"
"Right"
"Angel maybe you should give him some time to grieve…" Wesley suggested
"He doesn't want to grieve, he wants revenge" Angel yelled "I need him to know I wasn't responsible"
"And you think he'll listen to you" Cordelia yelled back
Angel ignored the other pleas and exited the Hyperion.

Buffy arrived at her dad's place parking her car and entering the large double story. She entered using the key under the door mat. Turning on a few lights she set her bags down in the living room. She walked to the mantle and noticed the photos which hung above. There was a family portrait of her father, Carol and their 2 year old Johnny. Neither had she met only spoken to on the telephone. She looked further down the mantle and found a picture of her mother, Dawn and herself. She looked at it for a moment before turning it downwards towards the mantel she wiped a tear from her eye. Pulling a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear she grabbed a stake and exited the house.

Angel walked the dark streets of LA trying to pick up any sign of Connor. He had seen him yesterday. Wasn't a very good encounter ended with a bullet to his shoulder, He hoped their next encounter could be more civil.
"Just out fishing for a fight are we?"
Angel turned quickly towards the voice "Justine, have you got a death wish?"
She shook her head "I'm human, you wouldn't kill me"
"Want a bet" Angel walked closer to her "Where's Connor?"
"Stephen? I wouldn't know"
"The why are you here?"
"To tell you not to bother"
Angel tilted his head at her
Justine rolled her eyes "Your only asking for trouble following him"
Angel brushed passed her "Thanks for you concern Justine" he called back to her
Justine smiled before she left the scene.

Buffy walked through the old Mansfield cemetery she was yet to find any vamps and was getting restless.
"Why is there never any action when you want some" she halted her steps "That so came out wrong"
Buffy heard a rustle in the bushes nearby quickly catching her attention she went towards the scene.
She saw a trio of vamps attacking a young boy. She went to come out from the bushes when she saw the boy rise from the ground and attack back, he had some skills Buffy noticed. She stood back a few more moments watching the intense fight. The boy was doing well until he missed a hit and the 2 remaining vamps took the advantage.
Buffy was quick to step in pulling one of the vamps of the boy.
The boy jumped up from the ground and dusted the other vamp and turned to watch Buffy.
Buffy knocked the vamp into a tree before plunging in to stake it.
Buffy placed her stake in the back of her pants before dusting off her hands. She turned to the boy "You okay?"
"What are you?" the boy asked
"Ok that was rude…normally you start with a 'Hi I'm…' "
The boy just looked at her as if he were assessing her.
Buffy looked at him waiting for his response when she didn't get one "So you're a good fighter. What's your name?"
"My dad called me Stephen, but I'm mostly known as Connor"
Buffy smiled "I'm Buffy" Buffy held out her hand
Connor eyed her hand a moment before accepting her shake.
"So where'd you learn to fight like that?" Buffy asked
"My dad, what about you?"
"Just comes naturally I guess"
Connor looked at her suspiciously "Moves like that don't just come naturally"
Buffy shrugged "Mine sort of do, you hungry Connor?"
"What?"
"Well judging by the state of your clothes I'd say you haven't had a shower in a while and hey you helped me in that fight, I owe you dinner"
Connor nodded "I've never met someone like you before"
Buffy smiled "I'll take that as a compliment so are you coming" Buffy turned
"Why are you helping me?"
Buffy turned back to him "You remind me of a friend of mine"
