The UV-Free Fun House
As Carlisle and his family exit the elevator on the top floor, they were greeted with an overly perky "Welcome to Wolfram and Heart. How may I help you?"
"Hello, You must be Harmony? We talked over the phone last night. We're here to see Liam." Carlisle greeted.
"Who?"
"For Pete's Sake, Carlisle!" Alice exclaimed, stepping up to the desk. "He meant to say Angel."
"OH, Yes. You must be his 1 o'clock appointment. Cullen Family, Right?" Harmony asked in her usual chipper voice.
"Yes, that's right. I'm Carlisle." Continuing on with, "This is Esme my wife and my children; Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Bella, and my granddaughter Renesmee. She's the one the appointment is for."
"Hey, What I am? Invisible or something?" Jacob spoke up.
"Yeah Kibble!" Rosalie replied.
"Sorry, Jacob." Carlisle turned to Edward silently asking him; what Jacob should be introduced as.
"This is Jacob, a old family friend of ours." Edward spoke up, with his trademark smirk on his face.
All the time this was happening Alice turned to Jasper, and asked him if she was really that perky in the morning. Forgetting the fact that they themselves didn't need sleep. Renesmee started giggling, when she caught the look on her Uncle's face; debating how he was honestly going to answer Alice without getting himself killed.
"I would say you are as perky as the morning calls for darlin'." Was his very safe response; which made Renesmee laugh even harder.
"He will meet you in his office. If you all would follow me." As the Cullen's and Jacob followed Harmony's request, they got a very basic idea of the clientele wolfram and hart served.
At this Carlisle couldn't help but wondered how much of this the Volturi knew about and condoned. There were all types of undead walking the halls. From vengeance demons to fae and chaos demons, (which were about as foul as they came) it seemed everyone was there for a purpose and for the moments they were inside these walls, they were civil; Until Rosalie spotted the chaos demon that is.
"Carlisle what is that thing! That Is gross! And it smells worse than Jacob!" She mock whispered. But the demon heard her and turned around to confront her. In perfect time Angel appeared ushering them into his office and settling the offended demon with, "Relax Nigel, they're newcomers." All before closing the door and taking his seat.
"So. How can I help you all?"
"Yes, can you tell me why we aren't sparkling like diamonds?" Emmett spoke up before Carlisle had the chance to answer.
"Emmett!" Esme reprimanded.
"It's okay. Dear. I was wondering that myself. Also, to best of my knowledge, I thought you are allergic to the sunrays Liam, if I remember correctly?"
"Ok. See this is really cool," Angel got up and walked to the windows. "Wolfram and Hart's science and technology are far beyond anyone else. They have developed a glass that allows sun to hit your body but completely block out UV rays." Angel seemed very excited about the development.
"Those same UV rays that would cause my hot little bod to burst into dust." A thick English voice came from the doorway.
"Ladies and gentleman, this is an example of why it is important to close the door, and lock it." Angel said before sitting back down in his desk chair.
"You burst into dust?" Renesmee called from the pack of Cullen's.
"Yeah…don't you luv?" was the slightly sarcastic answer she got back.
"No. I just…shimmer…I guess…" She wasn't sure why she was embarrassed about that now. She hadn't been her whole life.
"I thought you weren't supposed to be here." Jacob's jealousy flared up at the way Spike was talking to Renesmee; and how she was responding.
"Don't worry your canine little soul about it wolf man. She's not my type, just making conversation. Can't help it if she likes me though," He added with a wink in Renesmee's direction, "I am one sizzling specimen of a vampire." He finished his speech by plopping on one of the oversized couches in the office.
Alice burst out laughing while Jacob sneered in his direction and put his arm around Renesmee, simultaneously causing a growl in his direction from daddy vampire Edward Cullen.
"Where was the warning for him huh?" Jacob asked Edward.
"I read minds remember? Yours are the ones I'm worried about, not his." Edward smiled at Jacob, a creepy little smile Jacob thought.
"I like him." Alice and Emmett said in unison about Spike.
"Really?" Angel asked.
"You heard the people Angel. They like me." Spike gave the answer smugly.
"Oh boy." Angel said under his breath.
The door, still being open provided one more visitor to the bunch.
"You all sure have quite the family dynamic going on here." A soft male voice floated over from the open doorway.
"Oz!" Angel jumped up from his desk and darted to the door to meet him. "Where have you been? What have you been doing?"
"I've been soul searching. Not literally of course, sorry about that. I went back to college, studied psychology. Trying to live life without… well lets just say without. How about you?"
"Same thing I always do. 'Helping the helpless.' Just got a bigger office that's all. Welcome back man, really." Angel hugged him one more time before Oz walked back across the office.
"Sorry for interrupting your meeting." He politely apologized.
"Don't be. Harmony will set you up with a room." Angel straightened his shirt and sat back down. "I am so sorry for all the interruption Carlisle. Please, fill me in on your situation."
"Well, I think you might want to sit down. This could take a while." Carlisle responded.
"Alright, how about the conference room? It's big enough for all of us to sit at."
"Thank You." Carlisle said as he followed Angel into the conference room. Filing in behind them was the rest of Carlisle's family; taking their seats around the conference table.
Once everyone was settled in their seats. Angel reached over and pressed the button on the intercom, asking Harmony to come in.
"What's up, Boss?" Harmony asked as she entered the room.
"Could you get our guest, whatever they want?" Angel asked, then turned to Carlisle, "What would you like?"
Emmett pointed to Spike, and says to Angel "I'll have what he usually has."
"Can't guarantee you that it's the best choice. But, it's your choice." Angel replied.
"That's right it is my choice."
