They gang reached Sunnydale in a matter of 2 hours, managing to break practically every speeding law on the way. They pulled in front of Buffy's house, and Wesley began to get out.

"No, we, we can't pull out here." Angel said. "Why not?" "Because, 1, it's too awkward, and 2, it's too small." Cordelia said, ticking off the reasons with her fingers.

Wesley sighed. "Then where?" "The mansion" Angel said. "The mansion?" asked Lorne, his interest peaked. "Basically a stone Hyperion" Cordelia said, answering the empath's question. They drove to it, and walked inside.

Meanwhile, Spike was walking threw a graveyard. He was having a smoke and just thinking, when a smell caught his senses… Angel… Spike shrugged it off. Who cared where his stupid poncy sire chose to hang out, right? America, free country, right? Spike thought to himself, and flicked his burnt out cigarette on the ground, properly stamping it out.

With the smoke from the cigarette no longer clogging his full nose he smelled something else… Fear…

Everyone had sort of claimed a bedroom to sleep in for tonight, or however long they planned on staying there. In the lobby Cordelia and Wesley were having a heated discussion.

"Wesley, how the heck is this place safer than LA? At least we were on our own turf there, but here it's a mind field! And Buffy doesn't even know we're here!" she screamed. "Because, none f the Wolfram and Hart lawyers know where we are, nor do any of those demon cults. We are perfectly safe from any unwanted intrusions here. And in the morning, Charles and I will head over to the Magic shop to talk with Mr. Rupert, and get the proper spells set up, ok?" he said.

"Whatever" she said, and sat down on the couch. Gunn came out from a hallway, "Ready to go demon patrolling, see if any nasties been following us?" asked Gunn, handing Wesley a crossbow. "Yeah, let's go" said the Englishman.

Meanwhile, Angel, Fred, and Lorne were upstairs with baby Connor.

"He's so small" Fred said, as the baby started up at him. "What's his name?" asked Lorne. "Connor" Angel said, petting his cheek. "I-I just love him so much. It's like the powers have finally given us a little break" he continued. "Yeah" Fred and Lorne smiled.

Spike followed the scent, running as inhumanly possible as he could. Then he realized what he was doing and stopped. "Why am I running? Why do I even care? He never cared about me…" (Spike has no chip!) Spike said, beginning to leave.

But something stopped him, 'What if this is some sort of, Destined to happen?' his hopeful mind thought. "Well, if it's destined, I'd better see what this destiny has for me, am I right?" he said, convincing himself he wasn't going for himself, but for some 'greater purpose'.

End chap 2, what do ya think?
