I know it's shorter than the last one, but I couldn't think of anything else to write. K

Chapter 5: Getting to know you.

"Whoa, the Slayer? She's the Vampire Slayer?" Phoebe exclaimed. The three sisters just stood there staring at Buffy. Buffy shifted, a little annoyed that Angel put her on the spot.

"Vampire Slayer?" Paige stared at Buffy. "That little girl?"

"Excuse me? Little girl? I am not a little girl." Buffy turned to Paige.

"Sorry, you just look young." Paige held her hands up defensively.

Piper looked a little closer at Angel. "You're a vampire."

"Yes." Angel stood straighter. "I will not hide that fact."

"Angel is different. He has a soul." Fred chimed in.

"A soul? A vampire with a soul?" Phoebe exclaimed. Now I've seen it all.

"Can we get back to the topic as to why you are here?" Angel put in. "Why don't we go into my office and talk." Angel gestured to the double doors behind him.

"After you." Piper said, not quite willing to trust them. She watched closely as Lorne followed Angel and Buffy. Gunn, Wes and Fred waited for the sisters to enter.

Paige and Phoebe walked up to Piper. "I hope you know what you are doing." Phoebe said. Together they walked in.

"Let's get this over with. I want to find out who these people really are."

"Ok, let's start from the beginning. Who are you and what are you doing here?" Angel sat down behind his desk.

The three sisters looked at each other. Phoebe shrugged. "We are the Charmed Ones."

Angel looked at them in shock. Wes looked as if a he's been hit in the back of the head. Gunn and Fred looked confused.

"The Charmed Ones?" Angel sat back in his chair. "Wow, I've heard stories about you, but I never thought that I'd see the real Charmed Ones."

"Let's not get sidetracked again." Paige said to everyone. "The reason we are here is because of Wolfram & Hart's reputation. What's not clear right now is why a slayer would align herself with a demon law firm."

"As to that, my team and I took over Wolfram & Hart for reasons that will have to remain unspoken. But let me assure you that we are not evil. We are here because of the resources that Wolfram & Hart can provide for us. Not all demons are bad."

"Not from what I've seen." Paige muttered to herself.

Phoebe silently agreed with her younger sister. Demons are demons. Nothing will change that fact. No matter how good they try to be they will always be evil. Phoebe looked at Lorne and shuddered. How can these people look at him and not shudder. Piper seemed relaxed but that was deceiving.

Angel looked at the sisters as they took in what he said. They really didn't look convinced. It was a good thing Spike wasn't here or this could be worse. He didn't know what they'd think of a vampire as a ghost. He glanced around the room at the others. Buffy was sitting stock still, completely shocked. Who'd have thought? Although Willow could have filled her in on the Charmed Ones. Now that he thought about it maybe it would be a good idea to bring her in on this. If anything would have an idea as to what these girls can do it would be another witch. Angel glanced at Lorne. He looked a little more green than usual. Charles Gunn held back by the door with Fred.

"Instead of trying to find weak points in each others hide, can we call it a night and lets all get some sleep. Maybe we'd have a better look at things with a fresh start. I for one could use a drink." Angel suggested.

"Drink?" Paige looked sharply at Angel. "What kind of drink?"

"Coffee."

"Oh."

End of Chapter Five

Ok, I hope you all like this one. And if you have any ideas or corrections please let me know.

A/N: Yes I know that Charmed takes place in San Francisco, but I have them in LA for now. Thanks K
