Four weeks had passed since Angel was admitted to Sunnydale General Hospital. Still not fully able to move properly for himself, Angel had relied on Buffy for most of his stay.

"Who did you say patrolled?" Angel asked Buffy as she feed him the last spoonful of Ice cream.

"Giles and Xander" She said placing the bowl on the table next to Angel's bed. Angel finished his mouthful and quietened the convo as a doctor walked in. Buffy stood up to talk with him but held Angel's hand tight.

"Good news Mrs Summers, Your husband can go home today" The doctor smiled, as did Angel.

"Thank you so much" She hugged the doctor and took Angel's hand again, holding it tighter than she could. Once again the doctor smiled and left the room. Buffy turned to Angel.

"Your husband?" He laughed.

"Well, what else did you want to be?" Buffy quizzed Angel. He thought and lifted Buffy's hand, pulling her closer to him.

"How about lover" He gave her a sexy smile. Buffy copied the smile on his face and kissed him.

"So you can go home now Angel" Buffy paused, "To my place, you know, just in case" She tried to be casual.

"Oh wait I can't" Angel stopped as he went to get out of bed. Buffy looked puzzled, "Why?" She asked, scared something else was wrong.

"I'm naked under here," Angel finally revealed, smiling at Buffy.

"Don't mind me," She said back to him. "I don't mind," She laughed.

"No you don't understand Buffy "Angel started, "They cut all my clothes off, and I have none" He said.

"Oh" Buffy thought for a moment. "I'll go to the mansion and get you some then" She said. Angel's hand dropped as she walked away from his bed.

"Don't be long," He said to himself.

"Giles!?" Buffy asked as she walked into the mansion. He turned around.

"Ah.Buffy.I was just.looking at the ceiling" He stepped off of Angel's bed.

"The ceiling? Why?" She looked up.

"The plaster has been burnt, a few weeks old, possibly from the lights" Giles twitched.

"The lights burnt the ceiling?" Buffy questioned. "But they were just lights"

"Ah.your wrong there, I found traces of a resin that I have successfully located to be used in the travel of soul restoration lighting" Buffy looked puzzled and threw a look towards Giles.

"Its from the lights" he said. Buffy looked as though she understood a bit.

"Whoa wait a minute Giles, you said Soul restoration lighting. Wasn't Angel's human side restored?" Giles nodded,

"In a way his soul was, they are" He paused "good lights if you wish" Suddenly Buffy remembered Angel at the hospital without any clothes so walked over to his drawers.

"What are you doing?" Asked Giles.

"Angel has no clothes, have to get him some, he's coming home Giles" Buffy was so excited.

"Home?" Giles said, "Here?"

"No, my place, safer we figured" She said leaving out the part of her plan to pamper Angel till he cried for mercy. It was her fault he was in this mess and she was going to try her hardest to get to the bottom of it all.

The door opened as Buffy was about to turn the key.

"Surprise!" Shouted Xander then seeing Angel hugged him. Angel didn't know what to do and gave Buffy a scared look.

"That's enough Xander" She said, "Angel needs rest not huge guys jumping on him"

"Why not? He's home!" Xander shouted again. "My Buddy's Home!"

"You hate me," Angel said softly.

"Yeah but lets not let that ruin the moment for Buffy pal" Xander whispered to Angel. Angel gave him a 'whatever' look and walked past him only to be hugged by Willow in the living room. This time Angel returned the hug with a whisper

"Thank you for helping Buffy" He whispered to her. She smiled at him.

"Hey where's mom?" Buffy looked around the corner and then back at Willow.

"Oh, she went to the mall" Oz said "To get.stuff" Willow weakly finished. Buffy looked suspicious.

"So how are you?" Xander was still all over Angel who was now sitting on the couch. Angel threw a pleading look towards Buffy

"That's enough Xand.we get it now" Angel gave her a look of thank you.

"Hungry?" Buffy asked Angel.

"No, thanks, not right now.I'm tired" He looked at Buffy.

"Right" She said and looked back at him.

"I'll be right back" And she went upstairs with Angel.

"That's enough Xand" Xander imitated Buffy's words. Willow and Oz threw him an evil.

"What?" he said surprised.

Angel sat on the bed and flopped back onto the pillows with his eyes closed. Buffy sat on the chair next to her bed.

"Wassup?" she said as she stroked Angel's head. He rolled his head over and smiled at her, taking her hand in his.

"I'm so.tired. I never felt this way before. It's kinda weird," He said gently.

"It's not like having super powers is it?" Angel shook his head gently, yawning in the process.

"I'll let you sleep. If you need me, I'm downstairs with Will" She smiled at him. He kissed her hand and watched her go, shutting the door slowly behind her. Buffy made her way along the landing and down the stairs.

"I need to know who the powers are and where they are living" Buffy said to Giles.

"You have a plan?" He asked eagerly.

"Not exactly" Buffy lost her confidence."I'm just gonna talk with them.maybe hit them a little" She shrugged gently.

"Buffy, that's not the way to go about it. The Powers are." Giles was cut off.

"Dangerous" A handsome Irish voice came from Buffy's kitchen. Everyone looked at the doorway in surprise.

"Is this Sunnydale?" He got no response. "Boy, have I got the wrong people!" He rolled his eyes.

"Who are you?" Buffy demanded.

"Francis Allen Doyle. Friends call me Doyle" He smiled and nodded at Willow. Oz looked angry.

"What do you want Francis?" Buffy said sarcastically.

"Please, call me Doyle" He said.

"I'm not your friend.talk" Buffy grew serious.

"Oh its not what I want, its what i'm looking for" He said.

"Wh.what are you looking for" Willow stuttered as she always did in 'scary' situations.

"Oh, he's tall, dark, handsome, brooding, goes by the name of Angel. Maybe you know him?" He smirked.

"What do you want with Angel?" Buffy tried to contain her anger although this cocky Irish man was really getting on her nerves.

"Well, its more what I can do for him" He explained. Giles looked at Buffy and saw she was at the end of her tether and so stood up in front of her.

"I suggest you leave," said Giles quietly.

"Not if you want to know who and where the powers are," He laughed sarcastically.

"Sit" Buffy pointed towards the chair next to Oz.

"I'll be right back" Said Buffy.

Doyle walked over to the chair and sat down. He looked Oz up and down.

"Nice shirt" He nodded.

"Thanks man" Oz gestured.
