"Now what," Grace asked with a quick look at the figures huddled not to far away.
Wolfe shrugged trying to dull his growing migraine by sheer force of will.
"No clue," he mumbled as he settled back into the couch eyes focused on a middle distance.
"It's not safe out there Wolfe! You know w-"
"Well they wouldn't be out there if you hadn't brought them here," Wolfe snapped angrily.
He didn't want to look at her, he really didn't, but it was useless. Her hurt silence was all she needed to make him feel like crap. He turned his head slightly, looked at her through the corner of his eye. Sighed.
"Aw hell babe. I'm sorry 'kay? It's just this is too much. I- I -No I shouldn't be the one apologizing here! Grace this wouldn't even be happening if you had not gone behind my back and brought them here. I specifically asked you not to do anything. You did this on your own. Now where's the reversal spell. I can do it."
Grace edged away from him as his green gaze bored into her.
Wolfe narrowed his eyes to slits, clenching his jaw and running a hand through his longish locks. He blinked and smiled to himself as he wrapped an arm around her and hauled her back to his side. He nuzzled her neck and growled softly.
"You don't have a reversal spell do you Grace?"
Grace gathered her courage to look at him and offered a small smile of apology.
"I do," she admitted slowly.
"I hear a but.."
"But it isn't for this group of people."
"You mean- what? What do you mean?"
"Look Wolfe I didn't mean to get them from 1997! I meant to get them just before they both died that way-"
"What? You mean you got the wrong people?! A different dimension?"
"No! Keep your voice down-"
"Hey, how about feeding us? I'm majorily jonesing for some pizza," Xander's voice broke into their intense conversation.
"Uh.Angel could you take em to the kitchen? I have to talk to Grace. Please. Thanks," Wolfe said as he watched Angel reluctantly lead the Scoobies out of the room.
"They aren't from another dimension okay? They're from the past. Somehow, the spell went wrong and mixed up the signals or whatever. What we got is them- the uninformed versions of their future selves!"
"Grace did you even think before you did this? I know you've done some shitty things but damn..this just tops them all! Okay, I need to calm down."
Grace rubbed his back slowly.
"Breathe, breathe," she instructed softly.
"I'm okay. I'm okay. Listen we have to get them out of here. I mean they can't stay here. They'll screw everything up. Everything. I-"
"Wolfe this could actually be a godsend," Angel's voice came from the doorway as he strode in.
"No. They aren't staying. They can't!"
Wolfe lowered his head and ignored the two stares of the two people he trusted most in the world.
"Don't you want to get to know them Wolfe?" Angel asked softly.
"Angel-" Grace tried to interrupt.
"Don't you want to know your parents? See what you came from; get the memories you never had. Once we're done with them we can send them back. How 'bout it?"
"This is emotional blackmail! Don't do this to me. You know.you know how much it would mean to me..." he cried out hoarsely lowering his head so they wouldn't see his tears.
"That's the very reason we should. You can have what you've never had before. You know you want to. Say yes," Angel urged.
"Yes!"
Wolfe's yell vibrated through the room as he stormed out of the room.
"What the hell was that?" Grace demanded as soon as Wolfe was out the door.
"I only made him face what he wanted Grace. Now we've got things to discuss. We've got a war to plan."

Willow scurried back, back until she ran into wall as Wolfe stormed in the opposite direction. She tiptoed to the doorway of the living room to hear what was being said and gasped as she heard what Angel had said and in a daze made her way back to the kitchen to the men.
"Hey Wills, you find the bathroom? Cause I gotta feelin' I'm gonna need one soon."
"Willow you look quite pale. Are you alright?"
"No! Listen we need to get out of here! They're like in the middle of a war or something and they want to use us! They probably want to kill us too. They were talking about different dimensions when they didn't think we could hear! What do you think they want from us Giles? We have to find Buffy!"
"I have no idea what they could possible want. Wolfe granted looks exactly like Spike and the eyes are all Buffy. We must be on guard. We can't all go wandering off as Spike and Buffy have!"
"He probably took her! Kidnapped her and is probably drinking her blood right now! Giles we have to get the hell out of here and save her!"
"We've got people looking for her," Angel's voice, one they were all getting tired of hearing came from behind them.
"How long have you been standing there? Eavesdropping on us Angel?" Giles asked pointedly staring at him with a degree of anger he hadn't known he felt for the now ex-vampire.
"I just came in on what Xander was saying just now. Buffy and yes Spike will be found I assure you by night fall."
Warily they regarded him, knowing in the back of their minds that they couldn't trust him. They couldn't trust anybody in this house. They could only trust themselves and have hope in Buffy and yes, the Vampire who they knew had taken her from them.
