Disclaimer Don't own Angel, own Phoenix...that's it!
Phoenix and her cup of not-blood walked down the hallway to her office, her cup precariously perched on top of a pile of papers she had just had Harmony print off. It was getting late and she had been in a hurry to get done, so she had stupidly assumed that she could take all the files along with her cup of coffee back to her office. One false step later, the cup toppled over, threatening to spill its contents on the carpet. Suddenly, Angel came up from behind her, snatching the cup moments before it hit the ground.
"Oh, hi. Thanks for that. Maybe I should have made a second trip," Phoenix said awkwardly as Angel took half of her load from her.
"Maybe, yeah," Angel said, smiling slightly at how ridiculous she looked as she tried to shift her large pile of documents to her other arm.
"Anyway, I was looking for you. I got the demon report you asked for. The one for Cylosis. Living in the city for a few years, you hear a few things. Most of it just came from personal knowledge. You were right to go after that guy. He's pretty badass. Anyway, it should be somewhere in here," Phoenix said, shifting the stack of paper again, scanning the tabs until she found the one she was looking for.
"Crap," she muttered after having pulled a bit too hard on the file, only to see the rest of them slip out of her grip and spread themselves onto the carpet. "Great."
"You, maybe even a third trip would have been good," Angel said as he kneeled down to help Phoenix gather her files.
"Yeah, really, I'll keep that in mind next time," Phoenix snorted. "Anyway, I just heard about the guy they found in the alley. So he just disappeared, huh?" she asked, slyly changing the subject.
"You heard, huh? Yeah, nurses say they went to check on him and he'd just disappeared before they could even figure out who he was. Anyway, Fred's still trying to figure out what he is, which will probably lead to who he is," Angel said, gathering up a few more papers that had gone astray.
"Do you think she will? I mean, apparently, this guy is like nothing you've ever seen before, how do you know she'll figure it out?" Phoenix asked.
"Because she's Fred. She'll figure it out eventually. She always does," Angel replied.
Phoenix nodded and continued pulling together her files, sinking back into her own thoughts and worries.
"Well isn't this sweet? Look at you two love birds, picking up trash together. You look really cute, you know."
"Spike, go....away....," Angel growled. He looked up at the platinum-blonde vampire standing above him.
"Oh, so I hit a soft spot, didn't I?" Spike mused, a smirk coming across his face as it usually did when he was around Angel these. What could he say, the guy was just fun to annoy.
"No, I always tell you to go away. So here I go again: go away!" Angel said as he stood back up and handed the rest of the files to Phoenix. "I'll see you later," he muttered before taking off towards his office, knowing that Spike would eventually follow, but hoping for at least a few minutes of privacy.
Instead of following Angel as Phoenix had excepted, Spike stayed where he was, staring down at Phoenix who was still desperately trying to get the files to stay stacked.
"He doesn't know, does he?" Spike asked with his usual smirk.
"Doesn't know what?" Phoenix snapped.
"About you. About what I know. I mean, it's not really something you want your little honey bunny finding out, is it? That you're a bloody 500-year- old slut who used to do vampires in whorehouses for mon-"Spike's colorful insult was cut off when Phoenix, who had now abandoned her files, jumped back to her feet. With a movement to quick to see, she had Spike pinned against the wall, her hand clutching his throat, nails digging into his skin.
"What the- how'd you-?" Spike blabbered, oblivious to why Phoenix's hand hadn't gone straight through him, as it would have had it been any other person. He looked down at Phoenix, noticing that a slight breeze had just risen in the hallway, making Phoenix's hair float eerily around her head.
"If you ever, I repeat, ever say anything like that again," Phoenix said, a threatening, harsh look iced on her face, "I swear you will regret ever meeting me because it will be the end of even your pathetic little ghostly existence," she finished through clenched teeth.
Spike nodded, too stunned to say anything. Phoenix released her grip, making Spike slide down the wall and sending him crashing to the ground before he had time to get his feet anywhere solid.
Phoenix cast one last icy stare in his direction, then picked up her pile of files with unusual ease and headed for her office, leaving Spike to stare back at her retreating back with nothing but shock on both his face and mind.
A/N Ok, so this chapter is kinda short, but like I said, I had to rewrite the whole thing and Im trying to do it kinda quickly...anyway, hope u liked it, please review!
