Angel was walking with Cordelia down the alley in the streets of L.A. Angel had told Cordelia the whole story. Angel was a little ashamed of the kiss he shared with Jessica but in a way he didn't care. Cordelia looked over at Angel. "You are such a child molester." Angel glanced over at Cordleia. "It's not like I wanted to happen, it just did." Cordelia nodded. "Uh huh. This is just like Buffy, and it's going to end the same way." Angel stopped. "Buffy was the slayer, Jessica isn't." Cordelia stood in front of him. "Which makes it worse, you're bringing her into a world that's full of hate and death, you're not always going to be able to protect her." Angel put his hands in his pocket. "I think I'm falling in love with her." Cordelia rolled her eyes. "Well, at least she isn't blonde." "What is that suppose to mean?" Cordelia smiled. "I'm just saying she's different." Angel smiled. "Yeah she is." Angel and Cordelia then walked towards the directions to which they were going.

At the offices of Wolfman and Hart Jessica stood in the middle of Angel's office with a sword in her hand. "I can't use this." Spike stood right in front of her. "Of course you can, little bit." Spike had another sword in his hand. Jessica held up the sword, but was struggling, "Why is it so heavy?" Spike shrugged. "I don't have the slightest clue, to tell you the truth I hate weapons." Jessica smiled. "Then why use them?" Spike grinned. "They make me feel more manly." Jessica nodded. "Right."

Angel and Cordelia entered through the elevator, Angel went over to Harmony. "Any messages?" Harmony smiled. "You ask me that everyday, and everyday it's the same answer." Angel rolled his eyes. "Harm" "Yes, you do. Buffy called she's back from her trip, and Spike is in your office." Angel nodded. "Did Jessica come through?" Harmony nodded. "She's in the office with Spike." Angel rolled his eyes. "Great."

Jessica held up the sword. "Alright Zorro, ready to get your ass kicked?" Spike smiled. "You have a lot spunk there." Jessica smiled. "Honey, I have watched 3 ninjas, Sponge bob, and The Matrix. I got this." Spike nodded, "Yeah, we'll see." Spike then swung at Jessica but the sword blocked it, Angel had grabbed the sword from Jessica and blocked her. Angel put his sword down, and so did Spike. "What the hell are you thinking?" Angel demanded. "Hey, you should be teaching her how to fight, she watches Sponge bob and she thinks she can fight?" Jessica frowned. "Hey!" Angel crossed his arms, "Spike. Get out. I'll see you tomorrow." Spike then smiled and walked out. Angel turned to Jessica. "I so could of taken him." Angel smiled and crossed his arms. "Uh huh." Jessica walked closer. "I could have. I am capable of kicking ass." "Is that a fact?" Jessica nodded, then her expression change. "So, are you going to teach me how to fight?" Angel nodded. "I'm thinking about it."

The next two weeks Angel trained with Jessica, teaching her how to punch, kick, reverse fight, basically he was teaching her how to fight, and how to win. Angel stood in front of Jessica they had just finished training. They were sweating and panting, Jessica came up to Angel and smiled. "Thank-you for everything." Angel nodded. "You welcome." Jessica leaned up and kissed him gently on the mouth, Angel hesitated for a moment but gave in. Then he pulled away, "I can't do this anymore, and we can't do this anymore." Jessica was confused. "But, I love you." Angel shook his head. "You only think you do, but you're just a child." Jessica crossed her arms; "I'm the little girl that you used to put the bed at night." Angel nodded. "I can't love you, and I won't, it's too dangerous and to be quite honest, I don't want you." Jessica couldn't believe he was saying these things to her. "How could you say that?" Angel shrugged "I just can" Jessica nodded. "You know for someone who claims to be strong, you surely are weak." Angel stepped forward. "Weak? You let some guy rape you? And I'm weak?" Jessica was filled with anger. "Fuck you, you have no idea." Angel stood right in front of her. "You need to leave, and not come back." Jessica was shaking. "You promised you would protect me." "I can't do that for you." Jessica nodded. "You can't see something great even when it's staring you in the face, and that's sad." Angel just stood there. Jessica put on her jacket. "You suck." Jessica then left.

Angel just stood there, disbelieving on what he just did. Joe then walked up. "It's for the best, what life can you of offered her?" Angel then turned to him. "You just see she's kept safe." Joe nodded. "Don't worry about it." Joe then crept out of his site.
