New York City...the City of Lights, the Big Apple...the place of excitements. Wesley lied in his hotel bed at the Ritz just thinking about some things. Wendy was really the number one person on his mind.

Out of all the Wyndam Pryce siblings, Wendy had the worst family. Unlike William, and He her parents didn't abuse her, they neglected her. Totally ignoring her, heck once she said she wasn't so sure that they knew she excited. It least Will and He got proper meals. According to Wilfred he was investigating his family, finding out his father wasn't really his father. He found Wendy and took her away, and continued thier research looking to William whom they found in the states, in Boston attending a highly rich boarding school. They ran away together to find thier eldest brother...and they did...in Pinegreen Virginia.

Yet seeing her like that...seeing her with a normal family...especially the Adam's. Such wonderful people, Wesley in fact used to teach the twin Applebee's his first year in Pinegreen. He was jealous though, that they could give her something he never could. A happy wholesome normal life. When you don't have to worry if your older brother is coming home from patrol. You don't have to worry if you are ever going to make it through the night. No, she was happy this way...and that's all he wanted for her...to be happy. He fell asleep a small smile on his face, slightly content for coming to this conclusion.

Wesley awoke in the middle of the night...something wasn't right. He looked above him and saw something came at him with a knife and then felt something inserted into his arm and everything went black immediately.

Wesley awoke, his head throbbing his whole body aching. He then became aware of his surrounding...he was in a small room...in the dark....tied up to a chair. A lamp over his head was the only light.

"Hello Watcher." said Emma stepping from the darkness. Her hair black, her eyes a solid blood red color, little black sparks would come from her body every once and a while. She wore black leather pance and a tight leather tank top. "Miss me?" she grinned. Her long jet black hair was in a braid. The eldest slayer was playing with a knife in her hands.

"Wesley?" said Robin knocking on his hotel door. "Come on we're going to miss the move-" yet he stopped as he opened it to see the sheet's ruffled and a little bit of blood on the sheets along with an empty shoot tube. He ran over and saw some of what ever they ejected into was still in there. Grabbing it he ran to find the others.

She sliced his skin on his upper shoulder, yet Wesley didn't even wince.

"I guess you got some balls over the years."

"You'd be suprised what else has changed." he growled.

"Nay, your still you. Same weak little of Mattie boy. Or Wesley as they now call you am I right?"

"I wish I were but I'm not." he said as she sliced his other shoulder. He winced slightly this time.

"Really?" she grinned as she suddenly stabbed him right in the shoulder and he cried out in pain.

"Yeh, like what your doing right now, you act like this is my first time getting tortured by a slayer." he said breathing heavily. She stopped for a second...yet only for a second before sending her knife right into his other shoulder. Wesley could feel the life coming out of him.

"So what if you have changed...what you did in your past...it can't be forgiven!"

"I saw her." he said before she could slice his arm. "I saw Liz."

"What?" she said.

"In an alternate dimension, I could only be with her for 24 hours...I had spent my time with her but you haven't."

"Liar!" she said punching him square in the face.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"Oh I don't know how about every single day I knew you, MATTHEW"

"If I had told you would of things been any different? So what I had a different name, it's not like I killed any one."

"Yes you did!" she said punching him in the face once more. "You killed that man! You forced me to do it! It's all your FAULT!" she screamed as she continued to punch him harder and harder, and Wesley remained conscious.

"So what do you have Nick?" asked Robin.

"It basically sends him into miniature comma. I could give you the scientific details but you would just hit me in the back of the head."

"Whats with the blood?" asked Dawn pacing back and forth in his hotel room.

"He wants us to think he's dead. But who ever took him was stupid enough to leave the bottle." said Wilfred leaning against the wall his arms crossed, he was speaking darkly. Everyone stared up at him. "I know where he is."

"I HATE YOU!" she screamed as she continued to punch him and when she stopped one of his eyes where swollen shoot, and his face looked like a giant purple bruise.

"and I love you." he whispered to her.

"SHUT-UP!" she screamed as she took the knife and started slicing at his arm.

"little Emma Elizabeth Wattson, your middle name is your big sister's name, just like her middle name is Emma." he said plainly.

"SHUT-UP!" she screamed once more.

"I love you Emma." he said and he chuckled.

"I SAID SHUT THE HELL UP!" she started to slice up his other arm.

"There is nothing you can say or do that will change that." he said smiling weakly as she started to punch him once more. Yet she started to slow down had her punches got weaker...she was breaking down. "Shut up...please...just shut up...." and she fell to the ground and dropped the knife, her eyes went back to normal as did her hair and the tattoo on her back disappeared. "just make it stop..." she whispered falling to the ground and tear drops falling with her. "I-I can't breath...I can't do this..."

"Emma," he said in a sort of proud tone. "let me go."

"Matthew I-I-I"

"Emma, I said I love you and I still mean it, but it is sort of hard to do that with me being tied to a chair." he said giving her a half smile. She gave him a half smile and untied him. "Thanks now all we have to do is-" he tried to get up but quickly fell to the floor.

"Matt!" she gasped running to his side. "I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry." she whispered and muffled her cries into his blood stained shoulder as she cried. He held he like had done so many years ago in the hospital when Wilona was born.

"Are you sure this is it?" asked Robin as they pulled into an old abandon warehouse in the Queens.

"Yeh...I can sense him, he must of followed us here." he said coldly as they walked into the warehouse.

"So where are they?" asked Dawn looking around.

"Wouldn't you like to now." said William standing in front of them. He looked like a normal 17 year old boy, jeans and a loose green sweater. While Wilfred looked like a normal 25 year old guy as well. Jeans and a black turtleneck. Yet everyone in the room knew better. These weren't normal guys.

"The floor is hollow, thier underground. Look in the back for a passage way down." whispered Wilfred as he never let his eyes off his little brother.

"So I guess you know what's coming don't you?" he grinned.

"I have an idea."

"Then why are we waiting?" he grinned smugly.

"I think the question is why are you stalling?" he said darkly, the smile left his little brothers lips as the fight began. He threw fire balls at his older brothers yet Wilfred merely used his telekinesis to turn it right back at him. The game was on.

Robin ran down the stairs and followed the only light he could...he saw Wesley surely beaten and bruised.

"Wes?" said Robin. He looked up and saw his old friend.

"Robin..."

"Come on lets get you out of here." he said putting his arm around his neck as Nick did the same. Emma merely stayed close to Wesley not speaking another word or looking the others in the eyes.

"Where's Wilfred?" muttered Wesley as they all piled into the SUV they rented. No one looked him the eye or said a word. "Where is he?" he whispered breathlessly, he was starting to go unconscious.

"He's fighting Will." sighed Nick.

"I have to go help hi-" yet the others pulled him back in his seat.

"No way, your to weak."

"Let me go help him." said Emma looking up. "Just get Matt to a hospital we'll catch up." she said leaving the car. The others only nodded and left immediately. Emma sighed, in the words of Wesley's boss. "Redemption." she muttered before walking back into the warehouse ready to fight the boy whom made her hurt the one person in this world who still loved her.
