Chapter 10:
Secrets are Discovered
Faith closed the door and turned to face Angel. "Did you find a way to bring him back yet?"
Angel sighed. He did not agree with Faith on this one. He didn't think it was a good idea. He had seen what had happened to people that had been brought back. Darla and Buffy herself. Neither had seemed happy with the choice and he wasn't sure that Buffy would agree with what they were doing. Despite all this Angel had also noticed how unhappy and this greatly disturbed him. If bringing back Spike was the only way to make her happy again he would do it. He still cared for Buffy in a friendship way and he didn't want her to suffer. He didn't like Spike either but maybe Buffy was right. Maybe he had changed.
Angel looked up at Faith and nodded. "I had one of guys who's worked here for a long time pull a file on Darla. It took a while to find it but we did about a week ago. The file did not state how she was brought back we think Lesley may have taken that part of the file but it does state some direct references. It was pieced together this morning. I just want to tell you that Spike won't come back the same. He'll come back as William from all those years ago. He won't be a superhero or whatever anymore."
Faith looked at Angel as if he was crazy. "Do you think Buffy loved Spike only because Spike was 'superhero'? I don't think she cared much about him being extra strong and stuff when it came to Spike as a person himself."
"Are you sure she loved him?" Angel asked in a quiet voice not sure if he could say those words without Faith thinking they were offensive. "Did she ever say she actually loved him? When I asked her she didn't say she loved him. Could it be possible she just liked the 'thrill' of being with him?"
Faith actually took this into consideration for a second before yelling at Angel. "Do you think Buffy would be acting like this if she only liked the 'thrill' of being with him? I doubt it. And why are you having all these second thoughts now any way?"
"Why are you so excited about bringing Spike back? Could it be that you're interested in him?"
Faith was very close to getting up and punching Angel in the face. "How could you say that? After everything that has happened with Robin?" It had been two weeks since the doctors had told Faith that Robin was brain dead and she had still been keeping him on the machines. Faith had decided to wait three weeks before letting him go. She would give up his organs to other people. She was sure that was what he would want.
"Sorry," Angel apologized, "I was way out of line on that one. It's just I heard that you and Spike had gotten kind of close when you first went back to Sunnydale."
"Yea I guess you could say our bad sides had gotten along but that was about it. Now let's get to talking about the ritual."
"Well I guess we don't have to do much because the people here will take care of it," Angel began.
!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ !~!~!~
Conner who had been listening outside of the door quickly walked away. He had to tell Dawn what he had just heard and he possibly might have to tell Buffy.
Conner walked out of the Wolfram and Hart building and walked over to the hotel. He went straight to the room Buffy and Dawn shared and knocked. He hoped he didn't wake them up considering it was pretty early in the morning.
A tried looking Buffy in pajamas opened the door. "Hi Buffy," Conner greeted her, "I hope I didn't want you up. Is Dawn awake I need to talk to her? If she's asleep don't wake her up could you just tell her I was here?"
"It's your lucky day," Buffy said it a groggy voice, "Dawn's awake. She's not here. She's either downstairs or in Giles' room practicing more of that witchcraft stuff."
"Okay thanks so much. I'm really sorry about waking you up I'll talk to you later," Conner was gone before another word could get out of Buffy's mouth. She shrugged. Strange kid, Buffy thought, just like his father. Buffy chuckled and closed the door.
Conner was already racing down the stairs. He decided to check downstairs first before he accidentally woke up someone else by going to Giles' room. He found Dawn downstairs setting up some candles.
"Hey Dawn, I need to talk to you about something."
Dawn not looking up to see the look on Conner's face let it to. "Can we talk later? I'm kind of busy right now. Giles is letting me do this new thing. It really cool you can-"
Conner cut her off, "I have to tell you something now."
Dawn looked up and the urgency in his voice and saw the anxious look on his face. "Okay, okay I guess we can talk now. Giles I'll be back in a few."
Conner motioned for them to walk and once they were out of anyone's hearing range Conner turned to talk to Dawn. "I heard my Dad and Faith talking about bringing Spike back and-"
This time it was Dawns turn to interrupt him. "Whoa hold on there a second. Bring Spike back? How? And why? What gave them the idea to do that?"
"I was just getting to that. I think it's mostly Faith's idea because she was trying to convince Angel that it was okay. They seem to think Buffy's not happy and to make her happy they have to bring him back. Who was Spike anyway? Her lover?"
Dawn giggled, "It's funny how you call your Dad Angel sometimes. I couldn't imagine calling either one of my parents by their first names."
"Well I didn't even meet him until about a year ago. Can we not get off the topic?"
"Yea sure whatever. Spike was." Dawn continued to tell Conner all about Spike. "So what should we do anyway?" She asked when she was done telling him everything she knew. "I mean should we stop it or let him finish? They're not really doing anything wrong unless Buffy doesn't want Spike to come back."
"Don't say anything to Buffy or anyone yet. I'll listen around more and see If I hear anything about when they're going to do the ritual and stuff like that . until that tell no one. Okay?"
"My lips are sealed." At this note they parted and went their separate ways.
As Dawn walked away she thought about the conversation she had just had with Conner. She wondered how Buffy would feel about bringing Spike back or even if she wanted Spike to come back. Maybe she was glad that he was gone. Dawn wanted to bring the subject up with Buffy on a casual notes but decided that Buffy would wonder why she was asking and Dawn would be able to keep her big mouth shut.
Conner was also thinking about casually bringing it up with Angel but he also thought that Angel would fin it suspicious and he didn't want to risk telling Angel too much.
As he was walking through the halls of the hotel Conner heard voices coming from a room. He recognized the voices as Faith and Gunn's voices. Conner was about to enter when he saw Faith in Gunn's arms and they were looking at as couples look at each other, with a loving look on their faces. Conner wondered how long this had been going on. He thought about Faith's "faithful" speech this morning about how she loved Robin. He thought about Robin for a second and thought that it actually might be all right foro Faith because Robin was in a coma but then he thought differently. Technically Robin was still alive and Faith should remain loyal to him until the day he died. As they began to kiss he walked away not wanting to rise them seeing him.
As Conner walked away he realized how many secrets he was keeping. It might have only been two but they major secrets. He thought about telling Dawn but then he didn't wan to burden her with any more secrets. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice that he had run into Kennedy.
"Hey!" Kennedy exclaimed in an angry voice when Conner ran into her. Conner looked up and didn't realize for a second what had happened.
"Sorry, didn't see you," Conner mumbled as he quickly walked away.
Kennedy called out to him stopping him from walking further away.
"You're Conner right?" Kennedy asked.
Conner nodded. Kennedy noticed that he looked uncomfortable. "Something wrong?"
Conner shook his head even though in his heart he knew why he was uncomfortable. It was not only because of the things he couldn't tell anyone but also because Kennedy was lesbian. He had heard things about gays and lesbians. How they were weird and gross and you shouldn't hang around them.
Kennedy shrugged her shoulders and began to walk away when he called out,
Umm Kennedy right? Are you really a, a." He couldn't get the words out of his mouth. He didn't want to somehow insult her.
"A what? A Slayer?" Kennedy asked now curious as to know what Conner wanted to know.
"No, no I already knew that. I better be going," Conner said as he hastily brushed past Kennedy.
"You wanted to ask if I was really a lesbian didn't you?"
Conner stopped again and turned around to look at her again. " I didn't want to be rude," Conner voice trailed away.
"It's okay. Really. And yes I am a lesbian and I guess you could I'm proud of it. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I love Willow with all my heart I find nothing wrong with loving another woman. You've probably heard some pretty bad stuff about us."
This started off a conversation between them. Soon Conner relaxed around her and they sat down and had a long conversation and began to enjoy each other's company. TBC.
What will happen? Will Robin wake up? What's going on with Faith and Kennedy? When is Spike coming back? Or will he come back? You'll know soon
So watchya think? In the show Angel do they spell ConnEr like that or ConnOr? If someone could please tell me that'd be great. And could everyone please submit reviews? I'll try and update at least twice next week its my moms birthday next week and plus I don't really feel good. I spent seven hours in the pool wit my friend at her house yesterday and I got cold and now my throat hurts and I don't feel so good. Oh well at least I got a really good tan. I'll update more by Tuesdayish! I'm starting another story that is a crossover with the band Evanescence and Buffy.it's going to be really funny, check it out it should be coming out around Monday. And oh yea EVANESCENCE ROCKS!! And so does Buffy.
