Connor strolled into the Hyperion, surprised to see the A.I. team discussing hotly at this time of the morning. "Hey." He said casually and they all went silent. Angel stood up and hugged his son tightly, Connor pushed him off. "What's going on here?" He demanded to know throwing them all suspicious glances.

"Cordy had a vision." Angel told looking at him with joy in his eyes, he was glad Connor was alright. He just looked at his son who raised his eyebrows and looked at the others for further details of the vision.

Fred took the word. "She saw you ... being kidnapped by demons. We thought ..." She made a gesture at the others. "Well we thought we'd find you."

Connor shrugged. "Not necessairy, as you all see I'm perfectly fine. Call of the swat team."

"We shouldn't take to easily on this. There might be a new demonic tribe in town, we need to..." Wesley started but Angel interrupted him.

"Where have you been all night?" He asked Connor with an upset voice and his son shrugged indifferent.

"Out." He didn't feeling like sharing his night with D.J. with all of them. It was none of their business. "I think I'm going to bed. Have fun, don't go crazy with the book cracking."

Angel didn't stop his son from leaving. He just stared after him while Gunn muttered something about attitude. Angel didn't hear what his friend said. He turned to face his team again.

"Okay, so Cordy. Can you go over the description of the demons again. It'll help narrowing it down."

She nodded. "Sure." She noticed the distant look in his eyes. "You okay?"

He nodded. "I'm fine. So what did you say?" He sat down again, glancing in the direction Connor had left.

Connor lay down on his bed. He wasn't tired though. He felt oddly restless. But somehow he couldn't bring himself to think about the demons of the world, or other worlds. His mind was full of other things. Well one thing - D.J.

He wondered what she was doing now. If she was out roaming the streets, looking for a good fight. He smiled at the thought that Angel hadn't been able to take her. But he had.

He got up from his bed. He didn't feel like hanging around here. Why should he let anyone else control him, he was a free person too. He grabbed his jacket and opened the window to climb out.

"You know what doesn't make sense to me?" Gunn said closing a book and looking at Angel. The vampire shrugged so Gunn continued. "I thought about it last night. How come the first time you meet this girl you beat her, like she's just a regular demon of some sort. But the second time we meet her she completely kicks our asses. What's up with that?"

"That's a good point." Wesley said thoughtful taking his glasses of. "It's almost like..."

"She planned it." Angel filled in. Worry filling his head.

Cordy came in with a smoothie in her hand. "Are we still talking about that girl? Aren't we supposed to worry about those demons snatching Connor?" She was annoyed. It wasn't like they hadn't meet strong girls with attitude problems before.

"She's right." Fred said diplomatic. "I agree this girl is, well a mystery, but so far she hasn't been a big threat to us. She did kill that Karaktus demon and she didn't hurt Connor when he was with her for example. But these demons probably will, isn't that supposed to be our priority?"

"Yeah, but we don't have a lot to go on. We know how they look and that in Cordy's vision they were in some sort of a tunnel...but that's all." Angel shook his head and leaned it in his hands. He was constantly worried about Connor, and with demons after him - he couldn't be more worried.

"Aha."

Everybody turned their eyes to Wesley who smiled widely. "I think I've found our demons." He put a book in the middle of the table, next to Angel's drawing of Cordy's vision demons. They all saw it was a perfect match.

"What is it?" Gunn asked and Wesley took the book and read from it.

"Order of Peratius, vicious kind. Huh." He seemed troubled and the others waited patiently to hear why. "It appears they have to be summoned. They are warriors, dependant on a leader. But... nobody has seen them for, well before your time Angel. Not since a slayer managed to 'pause' them by harming their leader. Which is a good thing, apparently they ..." Wesley squinted reading the fine print. "They are summoned by the worthy, once they are there is nothing to stop them."

"But that slayer did so." Cordy repeated what he'd read.

"Well, not techincally. Like I said, she managed to pause them. Put them in retreat. She did not stop them. I guess it was just until somebody summoned them again."

The others looked puzzled. The text books rarley provided very much help.

"Yeah, the worthy?" Gunn shook his head. "Who would that be and who is stupid enough to summon some sort of killing machines."

"Someone with a mission." Angel stated leaning back in his chair. "Someone who wanted to take - I'm guessing - us out of the way."

"Or." Fred's eyes got big. "It can't be someone for Quor-toth can it? Like wanting to take Connor back? I mean, in Cordelia's vision he was a live. Captured not killed."

Angel stood up so fast his chair tipped over and the others flinched as it hit the floor with a loud bang. "Well they're not going to succed." He snarled angrily. "Connor isn't going anywhere."
