Chapter 7: Samples
"Your last one?" Conner grimaced as he realized he broke the only lead the fang gang had on the Lab. "Don't worry, I'll take it to Wes and he can figure out what's in it...cuz its not just blood, I can smell something else too. Then he'll figure out how to fix you." Conner smiled at his quick thinking and just before he reached the door, Kary called "Here."
Conner turned around and saw her sticking an empty needle in her arm and filling it with her own blood, "just in case...and am I that broken?" Kary tossed the needle to Conner and as it touched his finger tips, he turned to her and said "I'll be right back, and I say you're in damn fine shape." Kary couldn't help but smile.
"This is Angel's blood?" Wes held up the needle, "and she has been taking it for how long? Well, I'll see what I can do, but I'm not promising anything." Wes started to mutter to himself as Cordy and Angel moved in on Conner.
"What? I didn't' know she was there, I just...you know." Conner couldn't find the words to describe how he found Kary.
"No, we don't know, why don't you spell it out for us." Angel sneered and Cordy pulled him back.
"It's okay Conner, just don't leave her alone. Go back and I'll bring you two some supper and maybe a movie. I think it might be best if she sleeps there tonight. I can't imagine that this will make her feel comfortable around Angel." Cordy nods towards the office where Wes and Fred are pulling out books.
"Ya, me and Cordy will go pick up some pizza and a late night flick, I think the movie guy owes me a favor. I mean we did de-demonize his place last month." Gunn grabbed his coat and headed for the door.
"Okay...but I don't know if it's me she wants around, you're her sister Cordy, you go talk to her - I'm not big on talking." Conner winced as he realized he probably talked his way out of a night with Kary.
"No hun, I think it's you she wants and she won't want to talk anyways." Cordy smiled as she saw the excitement on Conner's face.
"Cordy, do you think that was wise, I mean...he'll probably, you know." Angel blushed at the thought of it.
"Oh chill out, I think Conner's smarter then that. But come on Angel, I mean both Conner and Kary have been in an isolated life...grew up in their hell...been tricked and lied to by their mentors...are just starting to fit in here...have found long lost family members...it's a perfect match." Cordy smiled as she drew up close to the man she loved. "Plus it'll give us some alone time," she winked and Angel lent down into a passionate kiss.
"Hey," Conner slowly opened the door and found Kary lying on the bed. He crept over and lay down next to her. "Um...why'd you run out this morning?" Conner put his hand on her waist and made her face him.
Hesitantly, she looked into his eyes, 'damn! I can't lie to Conner - not when he's that hot.' Kary sighed deeply and began. "Conner, the only family I know of, is my sister and my dad - who won't respond to any letters I write. I just found my sister and hardly know her, I know she is sweet and everything, but we're so different. I train - she shops, I go and fight - she models clothes, I haven't been exposed to the outer world - she's seen everything, I've never been in love - she is. I guess I just got jealous about the whole father-son stuff, sorry."
Conner snuggled in closer to her and smiled, "Just give it time, opposites do attract. And it's not as if me and my dad are the exact same..."
Conner was so close to Kary he could feel the warmth of her breath on his face. Slowly, he lent towards her, he cupped his hand around her face and tilted it up to meet his. Their lips touched briefly and Conner's whole body shook with desire. Then Kary lent in and kissed him, the kiss became more and more intimate and Conner pulled her body against his own.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Wes is busy looking at the blood with his microscope; Fred leaves the room to get a drink of water when she hears, "SHIT! Fred get your ass in here and tell me what the hell this means."
