Chapter 4
Note: Did a little researching on Angel. I guess I'll include the usual team, but no Connor. it's a little difficult to throw him in there. Yah.. anyways. R&R please
~~~
William sighed as he drained another glass of scotch. 'Wonderful, I'm working for Lucifer and my girlfriend just betrayed me'
"Life doesn't get any better than this." He muttered sarcastically.
Suddenly, the phone on his mahogany desk rang.
'Show time.'
~~~
Vanessa sobbed pathetically and William curtly glared at her.
It was two days since he had last seen them, 'God they're stupid. Took them long enough to figure out.'
Vanessa's father looked like he was going to have a mental breakdown, in his stupid accent he asked in a broken voice, "How'd you do it?"
William feigned innocence, "Do what?"
"That biotech company is worthless."
William laughed softly, "Oh, so it is."
Vanessa's father glared at her. "You! You said you did all the research! You said that that company would make us billions! Do you know how much I invested?!"
Vanessa pathetically sobbed back, "But I did daddy! William's files!"
William played with the pen that was on the glass table, "Oh, you mean that little piece of false information I planted in my 'secret files'?"
Vanessa gaped.
William continued " And since you spent so much money buying that biotech company. You are now open to a hostile take over."
Vanessa's father got up and gave Vanessa a murderous glare and he stormed out of the meeting room.
Vanessa wiped away her tears and angrily approached William. "What is it to you?! It was just business. You didn't have to."
William stopped her his mocking eyes "tsk tsk tsk. You call sleeping with me business? I hate to think what that makes you."
Vanessa screamed in outrage as she slapped William across the face.
William turned his face back and looked at her with deadly eyes, "Your methods of dealing with such predicaments is so primitive. Perhaps you should reconsider trying make a name for your self in the business world."
"Bastard!" Vanessa spat at him.
William walked away from her. "Why don't you leave? Haven't you done enough for daddy?"
Vanessa screamed in outrage again, then she grabbed her coat and left the room.
William laughed in triumph as he looked at the skyline from the large windows in the meeting room. ' One day this will be all mine.'
~~~
"Buffy?" Angel asked once he heard her pick up on the other side of the line.
"Angel?" Buffy asked in a surprised voice.
"Yeah, um. there's something going on here. We sort of have a problem. A major problem."
"What is it?"
"You know Wolfram and Hart, those guys we're fighting?"
"Yeah."
"They're gone. And we have reason to believe that Spike or a 'Spike look alike' killed the entire law firm and blew up their building"
"You're kidding right?"
"Wasn't Spike with you guys before?"
"No. he's been gone for almost 5 years."
"Really?.shit."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Can your round up the others? And you and the Scooby's come down to L.A.?"
"Sure."
"Alright thanks."
"Okay, bye."
"Good bye." ~~~
William had researched for a while after Lucifer visited him. He looked through the hospital files one more time and confirmed that the four-year- old little girl was the perfect candidate. Earlier, he had gone to talk to the gatekeepers for spirits to confirm that the girl had already moved on.
Now, he just needed to put his black cloak on and visit that girl. He really hated killing people unnecessarily, unless they were psychotic rapists, murderer, etc. He had done some research on Faith, sure she was pretty bitchy and tried to kill the original slayer. but that didn't mean he really had to kill her. There were always loopholes.

"Hey Buffster! Dawnie!" Xander crowed happily as he hugged the Summer's women.
Tommy, Xander's four-year-old son, giggled happily as Buffy and Dawn cooed him.
Anya smiled, "So Buffy, any reason why we're here? A new Big Bad that you need help with?"
Dawn quietly frowned at hearing Spike's old nickname.
Buffy nodded. "Yeah, except, this time, it's in L.A."
Xander held out his hand. "Wait a minute! L.A. as in city of Angels.or city that Angel presides in?"
"Yes, the very same. In fact, he called saying that he needed help."
"Oh. so um did you also call.."
"Giles, yeah, he's on his way. We'll see him tomorrow afternoon, he just got on his flight not too long ago."
"So, do we know who?"
"Maybe, Angel said something about. Spike?"
Dawn paled, "What? Why didn't you tell me?!" "Well, it's Spike, Dawnie. I know how much you loved him."
Dawn mutely looked away and ran up to her room
Willow, who was silently sitting the whole time, spoke up. "I thought he was good now, with the chip."
Xander was rambling and pacing while Anya agreed to Willow's comment.
Anya asked. "Do you know what happened? What could have set him off?"
"I don't know, 5 years later he shows up and he blows up Wolfram and Hart, literally."
Xander ceased his raving, "Wait a minute, isn't Wolfram and Hart. bad guys?"
Buffy nodded.
Willow then looked at Xander. "H-he has a point. If Wolfram and Hart is evil, then wouldn't Spike still be good if he got rid of them?"
Buffy shrugged, "I don't know, maybe.Angel just sounded really worried."
Everyone nodded and no more questions were asked for now.
~~~
That night, William silently appeared in the cell that Faith was kept in. She suddenly woke up and sat up in surprise. Before she could attack him, he froze her body, except for her eyes.
William quietly approached her. "I'm going to make a deal with you, so listen carefully if you value your life."
Faith blinked a few times, since it was the only thing she could do.
William continued, "I'm going to give you the opportunity to start over again, with a family and be a pretty normal kid growing up. But you will retain your current memories. I found a little four-year-old girl, whose spirit has already moved on, but she's still in a coma. I could put your spirit into her body, you would more or less freed of your past, your duty and have a new family. Or you could stay in your current body, where I am planning to kill you immediately. So you'll either be dead or a little girl. And you can use her life to redeem your actions. What you say slayer?"
William released here body from its frozen state. Luckily for him, she didn't scream or fight him, she just smiled and crossed her arms. "So what are you waiting for? Introduce me to my new life."
William smirked and pulled Faith's spirit out of her body. Causing her empty shell to fall bonelessly into a dead heap. Then they both disappeared from the jail cell and reappeared in the hospital.
The little girl lay limp, surrounded by blipping machines that indicated that the body was still alive. William motioned to the little girl and Faith's laid down and overlapped the little girl's body and began to slowly disappear.
Faith's spirit gasped as the memories of the young girl flooded to her: picking daisies for her mother, being pushed on the swings by her father, playing in the sand with the other preschoolers and finally a dark figure pushing her out the window. and then blank
William whispered to the girl, "Your new name is Lily, now open your eyes."
Faith, in Lily's opened her unused eyes with much difficulty.
Once Faith opened her eyes, she just stared at William. "This is too weird, I know more than a 4 year old, I'm going to be a freak." Lily, or Faith, mumbled in her tiny 4 year old voice
"We'll see, if you really have trouble with adjusting, I can make you forget who you originally were. But just test it for a bit, I'm going to leave now."
Before Faith could answer, she heard the sound of rushed footsteps.
William spoke quickly, "Just act innocent, confused, like a normal 4 year old. No street tough girl."
William disappeared from the room right before the doctors barged in and gasped at the miracle.
~~~
Angel looked disturbed, as he rubbed his eyes and put down the phone.
Gunn walked in and sensed Angel's brooding. "What's wrong."
"Faith is dead."
"How?!"
Angel shrugged, "Police and doctors don't know, they say that she wasn't injured, no bruises, no disease. she just died."
"Oh. well, she was. sort of a bad guy. why are you so worried, we can get a newer and better slayer now."
Angel sighed, "I have a feeling that this is no coincidence. It might be the same guy who destroyed Wolfram and Hart."
"What?!"
"I know it doesn't make sense! But I have this feeling!"
Gunn chewed on his lower lip, "I'll go do some research, but still, it's pretty farfetched."
Cont.
Yet another note!!!!!!: I know, that was sooo Smallville, I totally love that scene though. Genius! Just genius! Yah. anyways.
And another note!: Why did I do that to Faith? I don't really like her, and I'm sick of her, I would have killed her off completely, but then Angel and Buffy would have been going for Will's head, soo. I just tossed her somewhere else. Besides, I WANT TO SEE A NEW SLAYER DAGNAMMIT!!! Kay. bai bai
Note: Did a little researching on Angel. I guess I'll include the usual team, but no Connor. it's a little difficult to throw him in there. Yah.. anyways. R&R please
