Summary: The new war forces Buffy to share her sixteen-year-old secret with a past lover.  Liz is now in LV discovering new abilities connected to her past and the Scooby gang with Angel and the pod squad just met.

Pairings: Buffy/Angel, Max/Liz, Michael/Maria… Review and tell me what other pairings to make. 

A/N: This story takes place eleven years after Chosen.  Buffy and the Gang rebuild the Watcher's council and Angel does the whole Wolfram and Hart thing.  For Roswell it is right after Liz finds out that Max and Tess slept together.

Thanks to all those who reviewed! I really appreciate it! The reviews make my day!

Max was surprised to hear that the intruder had known his name from his past life on Antar.  Michael had a different reaction to hearing his leader's name and was in attack mode.

"Oh my God, can we act like sane poep- whatever we are for like two seconds!  We do not attack him he is good!" Buffy screamed in frustration.

"Well, by good, what do you really mean Buff," Xander asked. He then turned to Michael and said, "Go ahead blow him up, you'd do me a favor and that's what alien friends do for you.  They blow up annoying enemies for ya!"

"Xander shut up." Willow stated the unnecessary.

Michael, still prepared to attack, shot a death glare at Xander which made him shut up…. for the time being.

Max pulled Michael back in retreat.  Buffy had trusted him so he now would trust her.

Buffy gave a nod to Max thanking him for believing her and turned back around to Angel.  Angel wasn't doing very well, he spent too much time in the sun, so Buffy sat him over to the nearest booth while Willow closed the blinds.

"Angel what's going on?" Buffy asked concerned.

He was acting strangely, but that was only because he had no idea where the name came from.  A pain look showed on his face when the memories of a few years ago flowed back into his head.

**Flashback**

A/N: Fred is still alive here and Eve is also there

(Wolfram and Hart: Angel's Office, 1 ½ years ago)

::Beep::

"Angel?"

"What do you want Harmony?" Angel asked aggravated with piles of papers on his desk.

"If you were more polite, maybe I would tell you have clients waiting for you."

"Just send them in!"

"Excuse me?"

"Please?"

"You got it, that's all I ask for a simple little word like that!"

"Harmony!"

"Fine!  But I would be careful."

"Why are they armed?"

"If you consider bad fashion sense a weapon, then they are deadly." 

The door opened and in walked four, young, roughly dressed teenagers. 

"You're the CEO of this fancy, shmancy digs Mista?" the tiny, feisty blonde said glancing around the surrounding.

"Yeah I am," Angel answered getting an unsure vibe from group of teens.  He smelt something strange from their blood.  "Who are you, what are you?"

"No questions," the tall, brunette boy in the front ordered.

Just then the fang gang walked in with Eve following

"Oh look how precious they are!" Lorne awed at the teens.  He didn't seemed disturbed by anything.

"When did we start charity work off the streets?" Eve's attitude got the best of her, but was suddenly tossed out the window with the wave of the tall blonde's hand.

"I would shut up you little hoe! I mean com'on look at that cloth you call a skirt!"

"As much as that was entertaining, I don't remember approving of a Wiccan client," Gunn said.

"Maybe 'cause we aint' no fake witch.  We aliens," the other boy, or alien, added.

"That's right! And we want you to find our granolith!"

**End Flashback**

Amidst the flashback, Angel whispered the words 'alien' and 'granolith'.  Max glanced at the others worried what this man who could be 'trusted' knew and who he was.  The last time he checked Max didn't think a man could burn with the rays of the sun.

Angel then twitched and went into a spasm.  Buffy luckily stayed calm and laid him down hoping he would be okay.

*****

Liz was cleaning the ledge of the bar when a man walked up to her.  He was tall with distinguishing features and dark hair with deep chocolate brown eyes.  She got lost in him.  He reminded her so much of Max. 

"Excuse me, Miss?" the mysterious man asked.

Liz snapped out of her daydreaming and focused on the man.  "Oh yeah sorry, can I help you with something?"

"Yes, I'm in town for the molecular biologist convention, do you have any idea where it might be.  I was given the directions that led to this place."

After the major coincidence with the molecular biologist thing, Liz looked around the club and giggled, "You were definitely not given the correct directions.  Here, let me see them."  She stared at them. "I know where it is.  It's … It's make a left then two rights go straight turn at the corner of main street until you get to 3rd street.  Then you make two lefts and a right… you know what let me take you there."

Liz grabbed the coat from behind the bar. She didn't care anymore, about anything.  'Screw work.  I'll go screw this guy so I can screw max over for screwing Tess…. Huh? Whatever! I don't care!' she thought to herself as she directed the man which way to go after exiting the strip club.

Max, although trusted the blonde, didn't so much trust the man that had just 'smoked' while entering the Crashdown.  How could he know the about the granolith and even that they were aliens?

Buffy continued to caress Angel's head in hopes that he would come back to her.  He had been shaking while unconscious for the last ten minutes.  She was helpless in this situation and she didn't like to be helpless.

Suddenly Angel's eyes bulged as he continued to remember the flashback.

***Flashback***

"What the hell is a granolith?"

"What did I say!?!?  NO QUESTIONS!" What looked like the leader ordered while stepping towards Angel in a forceful manner.

"Alrite son lets not get our hormones in a knot… lets take one deep breathe and chat, or you know sing, for a little while," Lorne reasoned trying to get to an understanding between both parties.

Getting tired of all the talk the other male grabbed Fred by the neck and carelessly places his hand by her head ready to blast her.

Wesley was first to speak, being her husband and all, "Just calm down, we will and we will come to an agreement."  Fred was released and thrown back to Wesley who hugged her and made sure she was all right.

"Fine.  Our granolith was stolen from us and we want it back," the tall blonde simply said.

"Any more specifics, like a place, who stole it, or what it might look like?" Gunn tried to get some answers.

"Sure, you could have asked!  It… It … well I'm not really sure what it looks like!  But aliens took it."

"Aliens?" The group questioned in sync.  Including Eve, who was being placed on a cot to be rolled to the hospital wing.

"Yeah Aliens!" the leader screamed frustrated.

"Okay, one question, what do you need it for?"

Only giving the law firm their plan so that they can find their granolith, they began to tell.  "We need this granolith to go back to our planet more or less."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Angel questioned.

"Well we are going back to our planet but we also need a new planet for banging purposes so that our planet can you know… what's the word…"

"Breed?" Wesley suggested.

"What? No… have kids." The tall brunette said.

"Yeah so we'll be killing at least the humans, maybe the demons.  We haven't decided yet.  We wont kill anyone in your crib though, with you helpin' us and all."

"I afraid we can let you do that though." Angel said while reaching for his sword and throwing it at the teen-aliens.

They were way ahead of Angel and put up a shield.  ::Evil Laughs::

"Well, I am sorry that we couldn't help you.  Now we will have to kill you when we take over this piece of crap that you call earth.  Ava, take care of these wastes of space."

The small blonde closed her eyes in concentration and wiped away any memories involving aliens from their mind and walked out.

****End Flashback****

"She wiped our memories," was the first thing Angel could muster as he was healing from his spas attack.

The relieved look on Buffy's face was followed with the question, "Whose she?"

"The girl, one of the aliens.  There were four of them.  I am pretty sure she went by the name of Ava.  They sounded like they were from New York."

"The dupes," Michael stated realizing who had confronted Angel.

The group pondered as Angel told them about the granolith and the war.  Again they didn't notice the absence of two people who had slipped out just recently.

*****

Tess entered the old warehouse looking for Kivar.  She was disappointed to see Nicolas There instead.

"Where the hell is Kivar?"

"I'm glad to see you too babe!"

"Whatever, It's just that I have a gift for him."

"OO! Present for me? You shouldn't have!"

"I already told you it wasn't, it's for KIVAR!"

"Well he said something like Plan B or something like that to me and said he wouldn't be back for a week or so.  So what do you have?"

"A renegade skin that has repented and wishes to serve Kivar again."

"What will this skin do for our cause?"

"The skin is trusted by the royal four and could possibly get inside information."

"I like this, send him in."

"You can come in!" Tess announced.

In walked the Skin…
