In a hotel room across town Jenny Calendar was sitting down with her uncle.

"You know what it is, this thing vengeance?" Enyos asked as Jenny sighed tiredly.

"Uncle, I have served you. I have been faithful. I need to know..." she got before Enyos interrupts her as he continues.

"To the modern man vengeance is a verb, an idea. Payback. One thing for another. Like commerce. Not with us. Vengeance is a living thing. It passes through generations. It commands. It kills." He says before taking a sip of his drink and allowing Jenny to continue.

"You told me to watch Angel. You told me to keep him from the Slayer. I tried. But there are other factors. There are terrible things happening here that we cannot control." She said as her uncle set the tea down again.

"We control nothing. We are not wizards, Janna. We merely play our part."

"Angel could be of help to us. I mean, he may be the only chance we have to stop the Judge." Jenny tried to argue for the vampire as her uncle shook his head.

"It is too late for that." He said simply as Jenny looked confused.

"Why"

Leaning back in the chair the elder gypsy tried to explain. "The curse. Angel is meant to suffer, not to live as human. One moment of true happiness, of contentment, one moment where the soul that we restored no longer plagues his thoughts and that soul is taken from him."

Thinking for a moment at the implications before she looks back at her uncle. "Then, if somehow, if... if it's happened... then Angelus is back."

Nodding sadly one of the few remaining Romany sighed. "I hoped to stop it. But I realize now it was arranged to be so."

Looking at her elder Jenny realized how it could happen. "Buffy loves him." She said simply to the nodding elder.

"And now she will have to kill him." He responded with finality as Jenny stood up quickly.

"Unless he kills her first! Uncle, this is insanity! People are going to die." She demands at her uncle as he nods again.

"Yes. It is not justice we serve. It is vengeance."

Sighing in frustration as she grabs her coat Jenny looks back at her uncle. "You are a fool. We're all fools." She says before storming out of the hotel room.

"XANDER HOW COULD YOU!" The teen flinched as he turned around to face an enraged Cordelia Chase.

Shaking his head in confusion Xander tries to figure out what the Queen of Sunnydale high was talking about. "Cordy what's going on? What are you talking about?"

"First you disappear all last night then you show up acting weird and start hanging out with, with HER." She spat out the last word as she pointed an accusing finger at Kendra. "I may not be as smart as some people Alexander Harris but I do know when someone is messing around on me." She accused before turning and fleeing deeper into the halls of Sunnydale high and leaving a confused Slayer and Symbiot behind.

Looking after Cordelia for several seconds Xander looked back at Kendra with a frown. "Okaaaay... I'm confused." He says before the lights go out. "Now I'm wigged." He whispers as he looked around the darkened school, Xander got the prickly feeling up his back. "Kendra, get to the library make sure everyone okay." He ordered before running after the cheerleader that had fled into the school.

--

Xander skidded to a stop outside the lounge when he heard somebody shouting.

Looking in Xander sees Miss Calendar with a cross as she beckons Cordelia away from Angel as the vampire walk up behind her and grabs her around the neck.

Pushing the door open Xander slips his hand into the small palm device he had brought as he advanced on the Vampire. "ANGEL, don't do that." He orders as the vampire sneers at him.

"Oh, I think I do that." He sneers out as Cordelia struggles with the hand around her throat.

"Angel What..." She asks in confusion as Jenny and Xander approach cautiously.

"He's not Angel anymore. Are you?" Jenny accuses as she moves closer to the newly resurrected Scourge of Europe.

"Wrong. I am Angel." He growls as he tightens his grip around Cordelia's neck. "At last!"

Seeing the change in the Vampire Xander realizes what has happened. "Oh, my god." He whispers in disbelief as Angel slowly tightens his grip around the cheerleader's throat.

"I got a message for Buffy." He says before a low chuckle breaks out from Xander.

"I got a message for you Fangs." Xander growls as he takes a step foreword and brings the Nel'Kree up and targets the vampire. "Bite me." He growls as Yerin triggers the device and the distortion of the air strikes the Vampire on the side of the head ripping a gash from below his eye to his chin and cutting it off back to his ear.

As the Vampire flew back from the impact Xander took aim again before another impact threw his aim off.

Angel grinned as he saw Buffy slam into the boy that had ruined his plans before getting to his feet and heading out of the school.

Xander rolled with the impact before turning back and freezing the blonde slayer with the palm Device. "Buffy he tried to KILL CORDELIA!" he yelled at the blonde slayer before running after the Vampire.

--

Angel slowed to a walk as he exited the High school, He knew that Buffy wouldn't follow and would keep the others from trying to stake him as well.

The explosion of the large double doors behind him warns him that his logic had more then one flaw as Xander stepped out with that weird hand device he had used before.

Jack was tired, Jet lagged and Angry as his brother continued to Charm his team with anecdotes of Jacks youth.

Smirking to himself as His older brother started one of the more embarrassing stories Jack leaned foreword. "Yeah but there was this one Halloween when Angus was talked into dressing as..." he was cut off as the older brother Slammed on the breaks and skidded to a stop before twisting around to glare at his younger brother.

"Jack... we swore we would never speak of that again, you SWORE." He said pointing an accusing finger at his smirking brother.

Jack shrugged and leaned back in the seat with a smirk. "Yeah, just like we swore about the noodle incident." Jack commented on the story Mac was beginning.

The two brothers glared at each other for a minute before Mac conceded defeat and turned back to the road. "You know you cheat don't you." He accused his younger brother as Jack just smiled.

Any continuation on the conversation was cut short when the large SUV slammed into a figure as he ran across the road.
