Chapter 4: Meeting

"Well?" Paige looked at Piper as the Halliwell sisters made their way up to the law firm doors.

"Well what?" Piper let a little annoyance creep into voice.

"How are we going to get in if we can't orb?" Paige said. Phoebe looked at both her sisters. It was such a relief to not be the younger sister anymore. With Paige around Piper has less time to criticize her.

"We are just going to walk in. If we are in the building we can orb to the top floors. Simple." Piper stated simply.

"That is your great plan? And what if we run into some sort of meeting? Ever think about that?" Paige; always thinking of the worst case scenarios.

Phoebe rolled her eyes, "Let's just get going. Nothing is going to happen at all if we don't make it through the front doors."

Piper stepped forward, "Then let's go."

"Are you sure they are coming Angel?" Gunn asked for about the fifth time.

"I'm not sure Gunn, but I want to be ready." Angel was seated behind his desk with the rest of the gang scattered about. Buffy lounged on a sofa by the window. Wes and Gunn paced the room. Lorne was sitting on one of the comfortable chairs across the room. Spike was conspicuously absent, or invisible. Just then Fred burst into the room.

"I think that they are here." Fred stated.

"Think?" Angel glanced up at her.

"I can't be sure. After Spike showed us the tape, and they weren't visible, I decided to do some experimenting with the heat sensors on the cameras. Or actually infrared."

"Anything?"

"Just a blip, actually three of them."

"Three?" Angel glanced around. "So they are here?"

"Yep, on their way as we speak. Although from the heat signatures I'd say they were all women."

"Ok then. Let's get ready."

Piper walked up to the door. She looked in and saw someone coming out. As the man swung open the door she flicked her hands and he and door froze.

"After you." She gestured into the building and followed Paige and Phoebe in.

Inside Piper looked around and spotted a receptionist desk. Glancing at the list of Lawyers and the like she saw where the big wigs had their office. "Top floor ladies. Let's go. Paige, if you would do the honors." Piper and Phoebe hooked arms with Paige and she orbed.

The three of them materialized in the main lobby of the top floor. Paige looked around.

"Now what?"

"Now you tell me who you are, and why you're here." Angel walked around the door just as the rest of the gang came out of hiding.

"Piper, freeze him." Paige squeaked.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Gunn held up a crossbow and pointed it at Piper. Phoebe crouched into a fighting stance. Buffy followed suit.

"Ok, let's see if we can talk first." Lorne piped in from the corner.

"Demon" Phoebe said and launched herself at Lorne. Buffy intercepted her with a swipe at her leg. Phoebe went down on her butt. Paige called, "Crossbow." The crossbow disappeared out of Gunn's hands and into Paige's. She turned it at Gunn and Lorne. Piper focused on Angel. Hands held at ready. Wes pulled a knife out and flung it a Piper. She flicked her hand and it stopped mid-air. Sprawled on the ground still, Phoebe swung her leg around a knocked Buffy to the ground.

"Stop" Angel yelled. Everyone froze. "I think that we've gotten off to a bad start."

"You were bad to start with." Paige remarked.

"I think you are a little mistaken. We are the good guys."

"Demons? Good guys? Now I've seen everything." Phoebe laughed.

"Not all of us are demons. Gunn, Wes, Fred and Buffy are not demons."

Piper looked at the four people who were mentioned. "Then how do you explain her strength?" She pointed to Buffy.

"Easy, she's the Slayer."
