Angel awoke to intense pain in his chest. He tried to move but was pushed back down. His eyes opened and focused on Spikes face.

"Don't try to move it will just make it hurt worst."

"I'll be fine." Angel said as he pushed Spike away from him.

Angel turned his attention to the dead demon lying on the floor a few feet away from him.

"What was that?"

"One of the Miage's top assassins." Groo said as he walked towards Angel.

"The Miage?" Angel asked.

"Nasty bugger, runs Wolfram & Hart now. This has gone on long enough he needs to be stopped we have to do something." Spike said.

"We will never be able to get close enough to kill him. He has too many allies." Conner argued.

"If we don't do something he will just keep coming at us again and again until we are all dead. I won't let that happen again." Spike said.

"Where is Andrew?" Angel asked.

"He didn't make it." Spike said sadly.

"We need you to help us." Spike said.

"This isn't my fight." Angel said.

"If you won't do it for me then at least do it for Buffy." Spike said

Angel couldn't handle this all his friends were dead. He had no one but himself. He walked away from Spike and the others. He needed time. He walked upstairs and into the Hotel. He looked up at the darkened sky and wonder how he could have let things get this bad.

"Sorry mate I know this must be hell for you." Spike said coming up behind him.

"No, I've been to hell this is worse!!!"

"You have to help us take him down. I'm in no condition to fight and if I die my girl would be all alone. You have to lead them into battle." Spike said.

"I can't this isn't my time. It's not my place."

"Well bugger off then. We don't need you anyway." Spike yelled as he headed back down into the sewers.

Angel still stood in the ruins of the hotel. He walked over to the desk and found a picture of him, Cordelia and Wesley. Angel took the picture and walked back down the stairway to find little Joyce.

"Hey are you lost?" Angel asked in a friendly tone.

"Daddy says you knew my mommy."

"Yeah I did a long time ago."

"Daddy says she was beautiful."

"She really was." Angel said.

Angel picked her up and took her back to the others.

"Alright we go after The Miage tonight." Angel commanded.

"Good to hear that. There is one thing you should know before you face him." Spike said.

"What?"

"He killed Buffy."
