Author's Notes: Okay don't mind my Psycho humor with the title if you don't
get the Charlie's Angels thing I meant only the two whitelighters, who are
often called angels and Angel himself...Three Angels...Charlie's
Angels...and well Captain Peroxide I know the crack was made in a later
season, four or five I think but what the hell I thought that was really
funny when I first heard it, though it sounds best coming from Xander.

After Spike had once again gone against his vampiric nature and rescued Kerri and her dog from the raging fire, the oddly matched trio found their way into the streets. Kerri clutched Spike's arm for the support that her ankle wasn't offering her. Of course this slowed them down a lot but it's not like they had anywhere to go because they didn't know where to go. Spike would've been more impatient if they would've had somewhere to go, but since the world had pretty much thrown up they had nowhere to go.
"What now?" Kerri asked pulling Spike's jacket around herself.
"We wonder around like lost orphans? Speaking of which I'm starving..." Spike said absent-mindedly.
"What do Orphans and food have anything to do with each other?" Kerri demanded with a sideways smirk.
Spike smiled wickedly, was about to open his mouth to reply, but he stopped hearing noise behind him.
Forming from the pale blue orb lights were three figures, one Spike recognized the other two he didn't.
"Angel," Spike growled.
"Spike," Angel growled in response.
"So I'm guessing you two know each other?" Chris said slowly.
"You could say that," Angel replied in a quiet voice, "Let the girl go Spike."
"If he lets me go I'm going to be on the ground," Kerri said but kept a calm tone in her voice.
"Your hurt?" Leo asked.
"Only if I breath or walk..." Kerri snapped.
Hudson laid down quietly. His ears were pricked forward, and his hair was standing up on his back but he made no noise. Though he was in fact paying complete attention to the current situation.
"He can heal you..." Angel said bluntly.
"What are you guys supposed to be anyway?" Spike demanded.
"They're Whitelighters," Kerri informed Spike.
"What?" Spike asked.
Chris and Angel looked on in amazement but Leo had a knowing look on his face.
"Guardians of witches, for all intents and purposes they are the good guys..." Kerri told him.
"She's a witch," Leo explained to the other two.
"Too bad Spike's not," Angel told the girl, "He's a vampire."
"Oh like you're not," Spike scoffed.
Kerri looked at Spike in a combination of disbelief and fascination.
"But I thought vampires..." Kerri started but Chris cut her off.
"Those were Fiends, But even upper level demons called them vampires, in fact they are the source of most Vampire legends," Chris told her.
"Oh..."Kerri now looked a bit confused..."But why...?"
"Don't know very long Story Leo's an elder ask him," Chris said quickly.
She looked at Leo who in turn shrugged.
"Okay now I'm confused," Spike said.
Kerri shifted her weight a bit, then her eyes widened, "Eww, that is really disturbing Spike..."
"What?" Spike demanded wondering what he'd done, besides the whole vampire thing.
"Remember when I asked what food and orphans have anything to do with each other...I figured it out," Kerri said wrinkling her nose in distaste.
Spike grinned at that, "The whole vampire is it going to be a problem love?"
"Not if you keep your fangs to yourself," Kerri said.
"I'll try," Spike smirked.
Leo moved toward Kerri, Hudson darted toward him blocking his path, now growling.
"Hudson, Lay..." Kerri commanded.
He immediately dropped to the ground, laying down but kept his eyes focused on Leo. Leo jumped in surprise, instead of walking around the dog Leo orbed to Kerri.
Spike eyed him glaring a bit at him.
"Just trying to help," Leo muttered defensively.
Kerri nodded, then gently nudged Spike in a signal that meant 'Cut it out' but if Spike knew that he didn't acknowledge it. Leo knelt down and put his hands by her ankle. As his hands glowed, she felt the pain in her ankle subside, then he scanned her for more damage and found her broken ribs, he then proceeded to heal those to. Kerri tested her weight on her newly healed ankle, before letting go of Spike.
"Thanks," she told Leo.
"No Problem, but we have to get back to the others so come on I'll take you guys," Leo told her.
"Your not bring him back there," Angel said in a low threatening voice.
Chris rolled his eyes, "We brought you back,"
"I have a soul he doesn't," Angel snapped.
"Well aren't you special Soul Boy," Spike replied, "See what he means...is he has special shagging privileges with the slayer."
Angel growled and took three swift strides toward Spike, which was all he needed to close the gap between them. In one fluid motion he hauled Spike up by his hair and slammed him down hard on a broken slap of concrete.
Kerri's eyes widened in surprise, then she made a few gestures in the air, leaving a faint trail of pale red light, which disappeared after a few seconds, next she muttered, "Separate."
Angel flew through the air, and landed hard on the cracked street corner about eight feet away from the others. Both of the two vampires faces' took on a demonic contortion.
"See now I'm confused about whose the good guy and whose the bad," Chris muttered scratching his head then he looked at Kerri, "How the hell'd you do that?"
"Its called Ma-gic..." she said slowly sounding out the word for him, in annoyance, then she looked from Spike to Angel, "You boys WILL play nice or I'm going to be one angry witch...do you understand? Because next time either one of you decides to grind the others bones to make your bread, your going to spend your immortal life as a chinchilla."
Spike sat up a bit looking at her in surprise, coughing up a little blood he laughed, "You can do that?"
"Try me..." Kerri dared him.
Hudson nudged Spike gently then began licking his hand.
"Would you stop that?" Spike snapped pulling his hand away from the dog.
Angel pulled himself from the sidewalk and glared at Kerri, then Spike, then Kerri again.
"You think because you helped him he won't kill you?" Angel demanded.
"Not that I owe you any explanation or anything, but I think because he saved me from having the life crushed out of me by a giant bolder, and saved me from giant cockroaches and saved me from burning flames of death that I sort of caused, I sort of owe him, anything else you want to say?" Kerri demanded.
When Angel opened his mouth to speak she cut him off, "Oh wait no I don't give a damned if you have anything else to say, but if you need help removing your head from your ass I'll be here."
Angel growled, while Spike had slipped back into his human guise, Angel was still full vamp face. Angel wouldn't hurt her, but she didn't need to know that. Just like Kerri really couldn't turn them into a chinchilla but they didn't need to know that. He moved a bit closer to her, putting on a threatening face. Though she managed to look unfazed, both vampires heard her heart speed up in fear. And Hudson, well he seemed to be able to sense her discomfort like a lot of dogs can and he cut off Angel's path to her. An intense throaty growl reached their ears, Hudson's ear were flat against his skull and his short stubby tail was flat against his hind quarters. His short tan fur on his back stood up and his tan wore down claws dug into the pavement. Every muscle in his body was tense, as Kerri ran her hand down his back.
"You know, I don't think he likes you mate," Spike smartly observed.
Kerri flipped her long blonde hair out of the way, her curly seemed to spiral neatly down her back. Her pale cerulean eyes were narrowed slightly, and one of her perfectly plucked eyebrows were arched as if challenging him to try anything. When he didn't she ordered Hudson to sit, which he obeyed, then turned to the two whitelighters.
Leo was attempting to heal Spike but to no avail...but realization set upon him. Vampires were dead, and he couldn't heal the dead. Chris was impatient watching the scene.
"I think their ready to go now," Kerri said.
" 'bout time," Chris muttered.
Chris put a hand on Angel's shoulder and Kerri's and Kerri put a hand on Hudson's head, Leo put a hand on Spike's shoulder, and the two simultaneously orbed the group away.
