Chapter 2

Note: Okay, I have never seen Angel at all. All I know is that Wesley, Cordelia and some other people are with Angel. I also don't know whether Drusilla or Darla is dead. and I still don't Connor's stuation. so I'm going to leave him out. heh. anyways this is an alternate universe right?

~~~

William, Cordelia and Wesley walked back to Cordy's apartment after hanging around a few clubs. They were laughing and very garrulous, or perhaps it was just William, who just had a shot of espresso. Finally, both Cordy and Wesley left and William wandered into a nearby bar.

William ordered a cup of the most expensive beer, and then he silently sipped the brew. Not before long a very tall and pale, nearly pure white, man in black clothing and black hair sat by William. William annoyedly groaned, "What are you doing here?"

The powder white man showed his jagged teeth and laughed. "Well, someone is happy to see me."

William grunted and ignored the man, the very annoying, this guy had been stalking him for the last 6 months or so, stopping him a few times for scattered conversations.

William didn't know who he was, but subconsciously he knew, he knew very well. And for some reason, his subconscious finally provided him with the answer. He rolled the thought around in his head verifying it.

The pale man was grinning madly and staring at William with intensity with his pupil-less eyes.

William finally downed the rest of his drink and decided to face the man. "What do you want Lucifer?"

Lucifer rubbed his hands together happily, "I knew you were a smart boy. I didn't even need to send you through some traumatic event to reveal to you who I am."

William kept his stare on Lucifer steady, "Don't change the topic."

Lucifer smirked, this time more menacingly. "Ah, always to the point."

Lucifer paused and contemplated for a few seconds. "Well, there's something I'd like you to do for me."

" Tell me first and then I'll decide."

" Well, there's this guy. Angel. I just want you to piss him off."

"And how am I supposed to do that?"

"Well one, hurt his pride and two, get his woman."

"Be more specific."

"I want you to attack, no raze Wolfram and Hart, a law firm run by demons. I want you to do what Angel has never been able to do, destroy them."

"And."

"Oh, and the woman, apparently a long time ago Angel fell in love with this woman, Buffy, who also happens to be a vampire slayer. Oh, did I mention that Angel is a vampire?"

William shook his head, but he was completely unfazed by the question.

"Yeah, anyways, I just want you to do some. bonding with her, I don't know. Go out with her, screw her, whatever. Just make Angel jealous."

"And why are you so intent on making Angel mad? And why can't you do it yourself?"

Lucifer flashed him an insane smile, " That's my little secret."

William studied him for a few moments and then nonchalantly shrugged. "And what do I get out of doing this favor for you?"

"I might stop bothering you."

William shook his head. "No deal."

"Fine, I won't bother you for an entire year."

William contemplated it for a second. "I'll only accept if Owen does not get involved and if only you visit me. I don't want to talk to some idiot minion of yours."

Lucifer suddenly looked a little sad. "Ah, I'm sorry about that thing with your convention."

William gave a deep sigh, remembering the demon that ran amuck in the LuminaCorp convention. Luckily he was able to quickly cover everything up and kill the minion.

"Why do you hire such stupid servants anyways?"

Lucifer then looked really somber. "Well, God got all the intelligent minions and I got the dumb ones and as they breed, they just get dumber and dumber. More than 3/4ths of them don't even deliver messages that I want them to.."

Lucifer stood straight up and glanced at William. "So?"

William nodded. "Sure, as long as you get off my back. It'll be an easy job."

Lucifer patted William on the back, "Thanks buddy! Have fun massacring those demons!"

"Aren't they hired by you?"

Lucifer shrugged. "Yeah, I've got more than enough. I can't keep track of them all!"

William's eyebrow twitched and gave Lucifer a strange look

Then Lucifer whistled a little tune and exited the bar. ~~~

The next day LuminaCorp bought the bank that Wolfram and Hart owed money to and forced Wolfram and Hart to file for Chapter 11.

~~~~

A week after that night William met Lucifer, he found himself in the back of a bar. It turned out that the bartender also sold firearms and explosives

"That enough explosives for you?"

William nodded, satisfied. Then he hurried back to his hotel and printed out a few copies of a spell that would warp demons and evil humans, within a certain radius, into the depths of hell.

"It never hurts to be extra anal when it comes to fragging massive amounts of beings."

Then William strapped on a very long sword, which was slightly longer than his upper body, to his back and he hid 5 more swords here and there. He loaded himself with more guns and explosives than Keanu Reeves did in the Matrix (hehe. sorry about that). His dark maroon coat hid all of his weapons very easily.

William grinned and disappears from this room. ~~~

William rolled his eyes as he watched the entire building implode, "That was too easy."

William laughed darkly. On a subconscious level he had thoroughly enjoyed mauling through all those lawyers and demons. It should be sick that he enjoyed it so much, but then, it was somewhat satisfying. Perhaps it had something to do with his past.

William looked in distasted at his two swords covered in blood. actually; he was completely covered in blood, save his face. As he was about the walk out, Angel and his team ran around the corner.

Everyone froze.

~~~ Angel's mind reeled, "Spike?!"

Cordy wrinkled her nose, " I guess that outfit is completely ruined."

Gunn gaped. "Woah. cool. they're dead."

Wesley rubbed his brow. "Oh dear, how could he have taken them out?"

William sheepishly looked at the ground. 'Oops, should have teleported away sooner.'

Finally William broke the silence. "Show's over, they're dead. Sucked into hell."

Before anyone could ask any questions, William disappeared without a trace.

~~~ Angel ran his hand through his hair. "Well, that certainly cut down on my work."

Cordy rolled her eyes, "Understatement of the century dear."

Quietly she lay down next to Angel and they contemplated. 'What now?'

~~~ Wesley and Gunn sat in the kitchen talking.

Wesley was still a little shaken. "He's too powerful. I mean, even if he did get help."

Gunn nodded. " I sure hope this guy is on our side, 'cause if he isn't."

Gunn drew an imaginary line across his throat, with sound affects.

Wesley shuddered. "Yes, he probably killed hundreds today with ease, by how well he was soaked in blood. *Sigh *"

Gunn shrugged, "Well, he did destroy. no, make that 'completely annihilated'

Wolfram and Hart, he can't be all evil.... Maybe we can talk him into joining the team?"

"No!" Angel growled as he walked into the kitchen to get some blood.

Wesley groaned, frustrated, and began to rub the sides of his head.

~~~

After that awkward moment with Angel and his team, William immediately teleported back to his shower and washed off all the blood. Then he dried the clothes and set them on fire.

No, he should never leave any evidence of his doings.

After the shower, William dressed and strolled down to the café for some coffee. He wasn't a heartless bastard, but killing evil beings was nothing to mope over.

'Or perhaps you've suppressed your emotions so well that, he can't even feel a thing when you hack up a person into pieces.' His heart supplied.

"It's because I can't remember who I was in the past, so maybe that skewered my moral judgments." William muttered to himself.

'But you wanted to forget the past.. you chose to forget.'

Cont.
