Thanks for the reviews, it's what keeps me going.

AN: Just to claify. Jack had a son named Charlie with his ex-wife Sarah(I think her name is). Their son found Jack's gun and accidently killed himself with it. Charlie is not a teenager andhas no memory of Jack or any of the life he led before. He is now the Key made from Buffy's blood and is her younger brother and Joyce and Hank Summers son according to the implated memories anyways.

Here is the next chapter, enjoy.


Chapter 6 - Military issues and Angel issues

Earth, Sunnydale, Magic box,

Buffy, Willow and Giles looked at the group of people looking at them. The older guy seemed to have recovered and was wearing blank mask, as was the hot blond woman. The tall colored guy face had never changed and the geeky but somehow hot looking guy was still looking at them with curiosity and interest.

Buffy studied the people while she let Giles take charge. The older guy and the blond screamed military to her. She had been around Riley enough to know undercover military agents. The tall guy with the stoic face gave of a weird vibe, she just knew he was not completely human and had something inside his stomach. The last guy seemed like a Watcher type guy.

"Can I help you with something?" Giles asked the group of strangers.

"Dr. Rupert Giles?" the old guy asked.

"Yes, may I be bold enough to ask you from the military?" Giles asked.

The group exchanged looks before turning back to Giles "Air Force actually. Can we talk somewhere. If that kid back there knows about the snakes as well she should come along too.

"What about him? He doesn't feel human." Buffy asked the group.

They group looked at each other again before the blond woman asked "What do you mean he doesn't feel human?"

"You guys do know who I am, don't you?" Buffy asked.

"Should we?" The old guy asked.

Buffy gave them a grin "No of course not. I just thought you might know because Giles and I are close. You military, air force whatever, like to do your back ground checks."

"That doesn't explain how it is you know that I am not Tau'ri." The black guy asked.

"Tau what?" Buffy asked.

"He means human." The geeky guys clarified.

"Ok, so fess up buster. What are you? Demon? Some weird alien human hybrid?" Buffy asked.

"Perhaps we should move this conversations somewhere more private. The backroom perhaps?" Giles suggested knowing it's full with weapons should they needs some. Not to mention some prepared spells from Willow and Tara.

"Lead on." The old guy told them.

Buffy waited until the group was inside the backroom, holding Willow back "Will, you and Anya prepare the spell to get that thing about of my mother." Buffy ordered her before she followed Giles and the Air Force into the backroom.

As Buffy entered she asked again "So what are you?" pointed a newly acquired crossbow at the threat.

"I am Jaffa." Teal'C stated. "But I no longer serve the Goa'uld. You need not have fear from me."

Giles took of his glasses and began to polish them while the old guy and the blond seemed to have their handguns now pointed at Buffy.

"You'll find that those guns won't work here." Giles told them calmly.

The old guy moved his gun to the side and squeezed the trigger, nothing happened. "What the…" he pulled his gun closer examining it to see if it was jammed, it wasn't. "Neat trick. You'll have to show me sometimes. Could safe us a lot of trouble."

"You know if you military guys stop looking for trouble we wouldn't have to constantly help you out and clean up your messes." Buffy told him. Then lowered the crossbow since none of them made a threatening move, she still watched them carefully. "So what do you want from Giles?" Buffy asked them.

"I'm Colonel Jack O'Neill, This is Captain Sam Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'C." Jack introduced everyone. He had pondered in using Teal'C's alias Murray but since they already knew about him being a Jaffa he didn't see the point of it. "Who are you?" he then asked.

"Pleasure Colonel. I'm Elizabeth O'Connor, you may call me Buffy. And you know Giles." Buffy told them, since they didn't know who she was she wasn't about to tell them her real name so that they would run a background check later and find out her true identity from the military, besides she wanted to see how it felt using Angel's human last name as her own.

Earth, L.A., Hyperion Hotel,

Charlie had gotten hold of his mother and told her he was find and would be home soon with help. Since the phone call 2 hours ago, he had gotten very bored. Now he was in the basement of the Hyperion going through all Angel's weapons. Buffy never lets him touch any weapons.

The one good thing about Buffy dating Riley besides her not crying over him was that Riley sometimes showed Charlie his weapons and explained how they worked.

Hearing Angel calling his name upstairs Charlie puts away the broadsword. He had been trying some moves he'd seen Giles and Buffy do.

Angel saw the teenager appear from the basement. "What were you doing in the basement?" he asked though he already had his suspicions.

"Nothing much." Charlie evaded vaguely then changed the subject "So you saved that woman you betrayed?"

"Yeah…" Angel replied.

"Did she live far away or something. It took you a while to get back. Kinda cutting it close if we're going to get to Sunnydale before dawn." He told him then realized Angel hadn't actually said that he'd come back with him to help Buffy. "You are going to help Buffy aren't you?"

"Yeah, of course I am. And I stopped by a friend after I helped Kate." He replied vaguely.

"Oh, are Cordy and Wes coming too?" he asked.

"I uh, don't know." Angel replied.

"Why?" Charlie asked.

"Because I fired them." Angel replied.

Charlie stared at him then burst out in laughter ignoring the scowl and glare Angel sent his way. "It isn't funny." He insisted.

"Oh the look on Cordelia's face when you fired her het must have been priceless. Seriously. And Wesley being fired for the second time." Charlie said then burst out laughing again.

After a few minutes Charlie managed to regain his composure "Man when you screw up you really screw up, don't you?"

Angel shook his head and let out chuckle.

Earth, Sunnydale, Magic box, back room,

"Dr. Giles, it would help us a lot if you could tell us all you know about the Goa'uld." Dr. Jackson said to the older man.

Giles placed his glasses back on and studied Daniel "Dr. Jackson was it? I remember your findings about the pyramids being landing platforms for extra terrestrials. The organization I work with even considered offering you a position when you suddenly disappeared." Giles told him then added "I'm afraid I can't tell you a whole lot without revealing classified information but I assure you that we will be safe from the Goa'uld once the Chappa'ai is buried again."

"Buried?" Jack, Daniel and Carter asked simultaneously.

"Yes, we have enough to deal with on Earth without looking for more trouble elsewhere." Giles told them.

"If you bury the Chappa'ai then the Goa'uld will still come. The Goa'uld possess space craft far more advanced than your Earth crafts." Teal'C told them.

"There are other humans on the worlds we visit with the Chappa'ai." Daniel told them.

"Yeah well we can't save everyone as much as we want to." Buffy told him.

"Doesn't mean we can't try." Daniel replied.

"It does if that means we get one of those wannabee God's fleet coming to Earth." Buffy countered.

"These people need our help and we need to explore other worlds in order to protect ourselves better from the Goa'uld." Daniel told her.

"So this is about the military getting better weapons under the guise of helping people. I should have known. It's always the same with the military." Buffy replied.

"Now listen here Buffy, we go out there and risk our lives to help people and make contact with other races. If we find technology that will help us be better prepared for when the Goa'uld come, and they will come." Jack told her.

Buffy looked unimpressed "And when they'll come we'll deal with them, like we deal with every mess the military makes when it comes across the supernatural. Your little trips to other worlds aren't needed. We drove the Goa'uld off Earth once. If they come back we'll do so again."

"You? And who do you propose you do that. You have no idea what you're dealing with little girl. Why don't you just leave us grownups talk amongst ourselves." Jack told her just before said girl was suddenly in his so fast he hardly saw her even move.

Buffy looked up at him her eyes narrowed dangerously at the grey-haired man in a dangerous low voice she said "I have faced things that would make you crawl under your bed and cry for your mother. You think facing some snakes possessing people makes you something special? What you face every other day when you decide to go on missions doesn't even come close to what I have to face every night." Right on cue a crash sounded and Buffy had stepped away from Jack crossbow raised at Spike and "Drusilla" Buffy said before she fired the crossbow aiming for her heart.

Drusilla smiled and snatched the arrow out of the air snapping it between her fingers. Behind Drusilla and Spike other vampires seemed to pour into the magic box.

Earth, L.A., Hyperion Hotel,

After hearing Angel out on more of what he's done and what has happened Angel had told him he would come to Sunnydale as soon as he could, but first he had to make things right with Cordy, Wes and Gunn. Meanwhile he suggested Charlie to visit Faith and ask her to help.

"Are you fucking crazy!? That bitch tried to kill me and mom last year. She stole Buffy's body and slept with Riley and did I mention that she tried to kill me and mom!?" Charlie yelled at him.

"She's better now. She was in a bad place, she wants to make amends." Angel told him.

"Yeah right, until she switches sides again and my sister has to deal with her and Glory. No thanks." Charlie told him.

"She's not…that's not going to happen. She wants redemption." Angel told him.

"Like you wanted until you were manipulated and went all dark and suicidal?" Charlie asks.

"Ok what is with you? Why do you hate me so much? I mean you did before." Angel told him.

"What is with me? Oh I don't know what could have happened to me that makes me hate your guts. Oh I don't know maybe the fact you broke my sisters heart and I had to hear her cry herself to sleep alone in her room for months. And no I'm not talking about her having to sent you to hell because I know that she had to because of your evil twin but you left her. You were having problems and you decide leaving her is the solution."

"It was, I can't give Buffy what she needs." Angel told him.

"All she needs from you is you. You really think that list of things you told her why you can't be together matter to her. So yeah there is the soul clause thing but you could have tried to find someone who could fix that. But the other stuff, immortality, yeah that sucks too bad my sister is the slayer. Buffy told me she doesn't expect to live to be 30. I even think she was exaggerating in that age estimate to protect me. You really think her being old and wrinkled why you remain the same is going to an issue." Charlie told him.

"Buffy is not going to die." Angel stated.

"How do you know? She already died once in case you've forgotten. She's the slayer, they don't live long. You think it's going to be easier on you that when she dies you won't be there? It's going to still hurt, plus you'll have the guilt of not being there for her. The sunlight picnics thing, what is up with that. Buffy isn't the type to do many things during the day. That's usually when she tries to catch up on school and hang out with her friends usually do research. She doesn't have a lot of time for picnics." Charlie stops and glares at him angrily.

"It isn't that simple Charlie. Being without Buffy is hard. And it hurt every day. But being with her and not being able to be close to her hurt even more." Angel told him.

"Well then you should find someone to fix that stupid clause in you curse. I'm sure Willow and Tara would look over the curse to see if there is something they can do if you asked them. And you're both doing so well without each other. Buffy has shut herself down, not letting anyone in and you go all I want to lose my soul to some skanky bitch." Charlie told him.

"The curse is a curse. It is meant for me to suffer. I deserve to suffer for everything I did." Angel told him.

"Angelus, the demon in you deserves to suffer for all that. You don't you weren't there when he did those things. And you're not the only one who suffers because of that curse. Buffy suffers too because you won't let her get close to you nor will she let herself get close to all in fear of releasing the demon inside you again." Charlie told him then added "I don't like you Angel. You make my sister cry, but other the other hand you also make her happy, alive and make her feel safe. She actually lets you carry some of her burdens. I prefer to see my sister happy then than being constantly the slayer and not letting anyone help her."

Angel sighed torn between his head and heart. After a while he said "Look Charlie, I appreciate your honesty and your concern for your sister but this is between Buffy and me. If she truly feels like you says then we should talk about it but I can't promise you any more than that. That said I stand by my decision to contact Faith. If Glory is as powerful as you say Buffy is going to need all the help she can get."

Charlie thinks for a few seconds then says "I'll talk to her, I can't promise you any more then that either."

Angel smiled his half smile "Fair enough."

Charlie looks at his watch then at Angel "Well if you want me to visit Psycho slayer you'll have to drive me." He pauses then adds "Unless you let me drive your car."

Angel looks at him like he's crazy "I don't think so, I've seen your sister drive. I'm not letting you crash my Plymouth."

"Hey, it's not my fault my sister can't drive. She can't cook too you gonna hold that against me too?" Charlie asked him as they made their way towards the exit.
