When Connor came back his father was waiting for him in his room. It was
almost sunrise and he didn't look to happy when Connor climbed in through
the open window. Connor rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing here?" He asked closing the window after him
"I was worried. I had a feeling so I went to check on you. Where have you been? I went out looking for you almost all night."
Connor spotted a cut on his fathers hand and nodded at it. "Something bit you?"
Angel moved his shoulders in a shrug. "You could say that. Nothing serious." He stood up. "Connor, I'm worried about the relationship you have to this girl."
Connor rolled his eyes again. "It's not a relationship and her name is Dyan. She's not just a girl."
Angel squinted at him. "You know her name?" He asked.
Connor looked at him like he was an idiot. "Yeah, you do to remember?"
"Not her real name."
Connor remembered but then shrugged. "So? You must've realised that D.J. was short for something. I was only civil enough to ask her, without chaining her to a chair." He took off his shoes glaring at the tall man in front of him.
Angel stared into his eyes, like if he was trying to read his sons mind. It didn't work. He didn't like to try and read Connor's expressions, there was mostly animosity. And no change in that for the moment. "You know why I did that."
Connor shook his head. "I really don't." He sighed. "I realise you have a problem with me making new friends but I trust her. If you don't then that's your problem. But deal with me spending time with her."
Angel saw that he was serious. He nodded a little. "I'll try." He then agreed to Connor's surprise. "Good night." He said leaving the room. Connor frowned. He'd really thought that Angel would've put up more of a fight. He shrugged and threw himself on the bed. He was so tired he could sleep for a week.
*****************'
Cordelia met Angel outside of Connor's room.
"I have an idea." She announced walking with him. He looked at her with interest. "What if we get her here, and have her sing to Lorne. Then we'll find out what's really on her mind."
Angel looked puzzled but then understood she was talking about D.J. or Dyan or whatever her name was. He wasn't sure she was being honest to Connor.
"I don't think so." He said. "I mean, it's a good idea but ... Connor trusts her. We'll just have to take his word on this one." He said and Cordelia seemed to pout.
"Okay, but if she wants to end the world I'm saying I told you so." She said and Angel laughed a little.
"I'll keep that in mind."
*******************************' *******************************'
"So, this is nice. Haven't seen you in a while now." D.J. walked into the dark, cave like room and pulled her hand over some furniture before she put her eyes on the man sitting in front of her. He was almost completly covered by the shadows but she saw the most protruding features of him.
"It is no ones fault but yours." He said with dislike. "You've been avoiding us."
She shook her head and shrugged. "Nah, I've just been busy. You know actually doing something worthy of our time. More then you can say for the goons around here." She glanced around at the things surronding her. Creatures of the night, ugly and firesome.
The man chuckled. "Yes you've been a good girl. Now tell me ... what did you find out?"
D.J. flung her arms out uncomfortable. "Not that much." She admitted. "But you lied to me." Rage came to her voice and the man seemed slightly offended, as if you weren't supposed to take that tone with him.
"I do not lie, my child."
"Oh come off it. I know you did. That vampire and his stupid gang aren't worthless beings, they are a challenge. Hard to intrude on and hard to kill." She tilted her head moving closer to him. "Why didn't you tell me? Want to get me out of the way?"
"Don't be stupid child!" He screamed angry leaning forward so she could see his deformed, red and black coloured face. He had pointed metal teeth and black eyes that stared at her as he calmed down. "You are far to valuable to get rid off."
She nodded with a wicked grin and slumped down in a big armchair. "Yeah I know, just had to test you a little... So, still, the deal here is that the mission is harder then expected. I need more back up."
The demon nodded and waved his hand graciously. "Very well, back up you'll have. However..." He interrupted himself but D.J. sat up straight glaring at him.
"However what?"
"There are rumours." He said supperior trying to read her face expression. "About a boy. Am I right?"
She avoided his eyes but then shrugged. "So?"
He chuckled again. "Oh my sweet, don't try to hide it from me. I can see that it's affecting you. Need I remind you that warriors don't love, with love comes no power."
She rolled her eyes slightly. "I know" She muttered, having heard the story several times.
"So then why? Why don't you have his blood on your hands by this time?"
D.J. shuddered unwillingly but covered it quickly, standing up. "Because that boy is my ticket into the A.I. land. He'll tell me their secrets, keep me in the loop. I need his mind." She could see the dislike in the black eyes in front of her and she grunted. "Trust me! Have you ever doubted me before?"
The demon grinned. "Once or twice."
She leered back at him. "But I always come out on top don't I? There's nothing to worry about."
He got serious again. "Dyan you are to important for us to loose. Don't forget that, remember who is your enemy. Remember who can bring you protection, comfort and power."
She nodded like an obedient child. "Yes Petari. I won't forget."
He looked content. "Then be on your way. Don't waste your valuable time."
