Chapter Six: Questions and Reinforcements
Angel looked up at everyone. The sisters had just left and they all were breathing a sigh of relief. Lorne in particular was relaxed and breathing easier. Wes sat down onto a chair with a thud. Angel wondered what he was thinking. Wes has been harder to read lately. Buffy just sat in her chair, hands clasped on her lap. Gunn and Fred were the only ones here who didn't really know who the Charmed Ones really were. He wasn't even really sure all that they entail. He for one never thought that the Charmed Ones would be in this century. He had heard about them a long time ago while he was in New England. Salem, Massachusetts was a place synonymous with witches. Now they are here in LA. He didn't know what to do. He looked around at everyone again. Time to put on the 'Boss'.
"I think we should all get some sleep right now. Buffy, why don't you and Fred bunk together. I think you might want to call Willow. She could give us some insight to these three."
"Right." Buffy stood up. Fred led her out of the room. "See you in the morning."
"Ok. Guys, go. You've all taken a lot in and we all need to sleep on it."
Wes got up from the couch and headed out the door. They all dispersed to their separate homes. Angel was about to head out when Lorne stopped him.
"Angel, I'm going to lay a little low right now. I'm not in any particular hurry to get to know them."
"Are you sure Lorne?" Angel said.
"You saw how they looked at me. I can't handle that right now."
Angel really looked at Lorne and saw he was almost shaking. "It's ok, go ahead. We'll handle things."
Angel watched as Lorne left the building. He's better off waiting things out. Lorne was always the peaceful one. Just them Spike appeared in front of him.
"Well, well, the real life Charmed Ones. Heard about them a while back. They just look like little girls to me."
"What do you know Spike. Those three are the most powerful witches in the world."
"Yeah, only so long as they are together. If even one of them goes bad, then they split. No more Charmed Ones." Spike smirked at Angel.
"What are you planning? They are on our side."
"Are they?" Spike said. "Seems to me they have their own agenda. And little old us aren't invited."
"They are witches Spike. We don't know what to expect from them."
"Well, I'd just keep my back covered if I was you." Spike suggested, and then disappeared.
Angel sat back onto his chair and thought about what happened, and what the consequences are going to be.
Across Town,
As soon as the Halliwell sisters got back home Paige orbed out again.
"Where is she going?" Piper said to Phoebe.
"Don't know. Maybe to see of the elders know anything."
"But Leo can handle that." Piper collapsed onto a chair. "Leo?" She called for her husband. Leo orbed in with Wyatt and Chris in his arms.
"So?" Leo said as Piper took Chris from him.
"A vampire with a soul and a vampire slayer hanging out together along with a demon. Then spatter in a couple of humans. Doesn't get any weirder than that." Phoebe came into the room holding a cup of coffee.
"A slayer? What's a slayer doing in the company of a vampire besides killing it?" Leo was shocked. Slayers don't hang out with vampires, they kill them.
"A soul. Remember?" Phoebe said.
"Oh, right. You're sure it has a soul?"
"Not really. And it was a he. His name is Angel."
"Why don't I see if the elders have and ideas about this Angel."
"Good idea. And find out about the current slayer and who she is. Goes by the name of Buffy." Piper put in. Leo nodded to her and orbed out.
"Let's hope we can come up with something. I don't like the idea a slayer helping demons." Piper put Chris in the playpen and went into the kitchen. "Where has Paige gone off too?"
"Don't know. I wonder if it has anything to do with the vampire." Phoebe said. She followed Piper into the kitchen. "Lets hope she can find something if Leo can't."
Meanwhile, at Fred's apartment,
Buffy picked up the phone and dialed Willow's number. It rang twice then she heard someone pick up.
"Hello?"
"Will?"
"Buffy? What's up?"
"I have a question for you."
"Shoot."
"How soon can you get to LA?"
