"Shit, shit, how are we gonna fix this. Buffy and Angel will be down any minute and if he sees Wesley, we're gonna see a little bit of Angelus." Dawn calculated.

"Well what do you say we do? And why is this about Buffy and Angel coming down together?" Cordelia asked.

"People. I'm sure you're over exaggerating. We haven't seen each other in three years. Surely, Angel has gotten over his initial rage." Wesley sighed.

"Don't be so sure!" Angel dripped with anger as he noticed his former best friend standing in his ex-lovers kitchen.

"Angel, now don't do anything rash. Wesley has changed a lot. He's been working with Buffy's crew back in Sunnydale. It's good to see he's still doing some good." Fred added.

Angel heard nothing, he was seeing red. Blade chose this moment to walk into the kitchen, sensing the hostility.

"Problem?" he asked cooly.

"No, no problem, Mr. Blade." Wesley answered. Blade cocked an eyebrow at the man. Blade knew vampire rage when he saw it. He could feel it also. He cleared his throat and yelled.

"Sharp honey, we have a problem. Get your skinny ass down here!" He yelled, not bothering to deal with her friends. He didn't know the situation like she would and decided not to interfere. Buffy sped down the stairs and stopped, looking at him.

"What?" She asked. He motioned at the pair who stood frozen eyeing each other.

"Oh shit! I didn't even think of that." She walked over to Wesley and put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. Her hair turned white and her eyes grew cloudy. Then the two of them disappeared.

"Where did she take him?" Angel finally growled.

"To a safe place, while you cool down. Obviously, he's changed and he's here to help. He's grown a lot and even I like him. I don't like anyone......except Sharp, Whistler, Dawn and Giles and Willow."

"Hey," Xander defended, "I thought we grew out of our hate."

"We have, but you still thought wrong."

"Blade, can I see you in private please?" Whistler asked, walking into the kitchen.

"She's gone. Her and Wesley. They have been taken. Of course, they couldn't have gotten her without him, so we have a problem. Where ever she landed, it was being watched. Wesley didn't even know what hit him."

"Who?" Blade asked.

"Morpheus. He's not happy that she's looking for him and now he wants to teach her not to ever want to again."

"Fuck. Okay, I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about him. We know one thing for sure. Morpheus is as good as dead and Angel's son will be free. Morpheus is an idiot for putting them in the same place, as most retarded vampires do. Give me her coordinates and get Dawn and Willow. I need them." He told him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, well, well, if it isn't te famous Sharp? Looks like we have a problem on our hands. You've been looking for me, I hear. Well, now you've found me. What you gonna do about it?" He sneered in her face.

"I'm gonna kill you and take Angel his son." She smiled.

"Well, how do you know he's still alive?" He asked.

"Because, if he wasn't, I'd have killed you already." She smiled again.

"I don't like your tone, human!"

"Good thing I'm not human." she quirked, "I never was one to follow the rules."

"Awww, but you are, my dear. You have a human weakness. Dawn. Giles. Willow. The rest of them. Angel. Don't act surprised. I know your history, slayer. What can I say about the boy, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Angelus stole what was rightfully mine. Before she was turned, Drucilla was to marry. She was to marry me. Then she grew distant, she grew confused. Then she died and turned me and left me for him. I want my empire back at her side. She will have none other than her precious Angel and he will have no other than you, so, I want what he has. So, ultimately, I want his death."

"Aww, how sweet. You know, but it's not very original. I've heard that same ol song for how many years now?" She pretended to be counting.

"Watch this." He sneered. She looked and she could see her family. They were scrambling trying to figure out what to do about the Wesley-Angel matter.

"Hello, Angelus. Good to see you again. I just wanted to let you know that your son is dead and the slayer is next in line." Then a live picture of Buffy was shown to the group and they gasped. Angel's face remained neutral. She tried to talk, but she couldn't. She couldn't scream that Conner wasn't dead. "See you soon, if you want her to live." And it was gone.

"What in the hell were you trying to pull?" she barked.

"Testy, testy, are we?" He asked, wagging his finger in her face. She stepped from her pretend shackles.

"Not as testy as it's about to get." She smiled, eyes clouding over. Almost as quickly as her eyes turned, her hair did too and she ran her hand across the pew and it toppled over onto Morpheus. Then, she was gone.
