"Buff, Buff, Love, wake up." Spike urged, first to wake up from the staring stupor all the others were in as they stared at Angel. Buffy moaned and Angel kneeled down next to her, looking from Buffy to the crying woman Buffy saved.

"You mean this lady was the one who saved you?" Angel asked the woman, putting his gun in his black leather coat pocket. The woman just nodded, letting out a loud sob. Angel looked at the girl who was beginning to wake up on the ground as he looked to Spike. "She going to be okay? One moment she was about to kill the robber… next she is on the ground."

"That is not Angel." Willow said, watching the cop. "His aura is different…" She whispered, pulling on Giles' sleeve. Giles stayed still, wondering how this was even possible.

"He is a human." Illyria said, cocking her head as she watched him. "He breaths and emits body heat." Her blue eyes scanned Angel, watching him. "He does not recognize who we are either."

Buffy eyes fluttered open as she hyperventilated. "I saw… Angel… he was…" Buffy stammered, grabbing for Spikes jacket to pull him closer when she froze, looking to the other side of her and seeing Angel. She cried out, falling into Spike's arms.

"Did I do something to frighten her?" Angel asked gently, reaching out to touch her. She jerked away as he stood slowly, confused. He looked around to see that the girl was gone and he sighed, knowing he had to bring her in to find out who the robber was. "I think I need to bring her in… just to ask some questions, she isn't arrested." Angel told the group, indicating towards Buffy.

"He sure seems less broody than Angel." Xander remarked, as Dawn punched him in the arm. "Ow!" Xander cried out, grasping his arm. "I think you have spent too much time training." Xander told Dawn, who only glared back at him.

Spike stood slowly and held out his hands to Buffy, waiting for her to stand. She took them gradually as she kept stealing glances to Angel, who watched her back, a little amazed by her.

"I just need her… I don't think all you need to come…" Angel said slowly, looking at the group. The one that surprised him the most was the blood one. She had bluish hair and striking blue eyes that seemed to stare at him. They seemed to watch him curiously as he began to become uncomfortable.

"I'm coming, no way in hell I am leaving the Slayer with Captain Forehead." Spike said, crossing his arms. Angel realized Spike was talking about him as he frowned.

"I could take you in as well." Angel threatened, not liking this man. Angel could hear the English in his voice and didn't know what he had done to piss off the extremely bleached blonde man.

"I would like to see you try you big Poof." Spike replied in a growl when he was stopped. Willow had grasped his mouth to keep him from continuing. Spike struggled for a moment, knowing he couldn't hurt Willow. Pissing off a witch was a very bad idea.

"How is this possible?" Giles asked, watching Angel, amazed.

"Are you well enough to come with me?" Angel asked Buffy, ignoring everyone else as she stared at him. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. She finally just nodded and stumbled over to Angel, turning back to the group.

"I will go back to the hotel when finished… I have to go… with him…" Buffy said quietly, and everyone just nodded, knowing there was nothing they could do. Angel took Buffy's arm and they walked away, down the alley towards his car.

"I can't believe it…" Willow said finally, as the group watched the two walk away. "How is it possible? Angel is alive… but doesn't know who we are…"

"It must be the bloody prophecy." Spike said, cursing under his breath, in shock that they had let Buffy go follow this man. It was his grandsire, yet he had felt no bond between them when they were near. His scent was even the same, yet no bond.

"What prophecy?" Giles asked, turning to Spike as he began to clean his glasses again, for the 15th time that night. He slid them back, looking to Spike, waiting for him to explain.

"Impossible. Angel signed away his chance at the Shanshu prophecy." Illyria stated, cocking her head at Giles, watching him. "A vampire with a soul that has taken part in the apocalypse is supposed to be reborn, as in become human." Illyria continued, "Angel signed his away to bring down the Senior Partners."

"Angel signed it away? That is so… noble…" Willow stammered, shocked that Angel would sign away his chance to be with Buffy, to live a normal life. Yet he had done it, to save human lives, many human lives.

"Yet here he is… human and alive. Let's go back to the hotel, see if we can find any information." Giles replied as they all turned around and made their way out of the alley, back to the Hyperion Hotel.
