In the car everyone was introduced and pleasantries were somewhat made. As soon as Angel had gotten to the hotel he had picked up a screaming Darla and ran inside. The others followed quickly and soon everyone except Spike and Buffy were inside the main room of the hotel. Darla was lying on the couch and in more pain then she was before. Angel was getting impatient. He could never just sit around and do nothing while he knew there was something that could be done. So he turned to Willow.
Willow looked at him in surprise, "This magic that you have to do, can you do it now?"
Willow shook her head, "I would but I can't. I don't have everything."
"Why would you come here knowing what you have to do but not have everything you need." Angel sounded harsher then he meant but Willow let it slide
"No what we need is here in L.A, it's just not here in the hotel room."
Angel hopped up from his seat, "Then let's get it."
Spike chose this moment to come running through with buffy still in his arms. Angel stared in shock while Willow started yelling at Spike, "What the hell happened? I thought it was mind games and you had it all worked out?"
Spike got defensive, "Hey it is not my fault okay. Calm down red, this was all Buffy. Holtz got personal with Angel's past buffy went psycho and pulled a wrong punch."
Willow calmed down, "Sorry Spike."
Spike shook it off, "No worries. A lot going on."
Willow nodded and Angel piped in, "You kill Holtz?"
Spike answered, "We couldn't. Me and Buffy were just suppossed to be a distraction for you guys to get away. When we showed we noticed some other bigger demon thing hanging over the cieling. Weren't prepared for both so it was all mind games."
Angel nodded and looked down at Buffy, "She okay?"
Spike hid the jealousy, "No worries. Just tired."
Buffy started flickering her eyes, "I am not tired."
Spike shook his head, "Excuses don't get anywhere when the person knows you're lying pet."
Buffy hopped down, "I was thrown against a wall and hit my head. I think being unconcous is a reason."
Spike laughed, "Yea right. That's why you were talking. I don't understand why you can't just admit you're tired."
Buffy looked angry but Spike knew she wasn't, "I - Was - Thrown - Against - A - Wall!"
Spike went sarcastic, "Whatever you say luv!"
Buffy sighed in annoyance. Angel watched their bickering and was suddenly jealous. Last time he saw those two they hated each other, hell Buffy always hated Spike but this time it didn't look like hatred, it looked like passion. He knew Buffy would find someone other then Riley some day but he hoped with everything it wasn't Spike. Angel couldn't think of this right now though, there were more important things to think of.
Angel turned back to Willow unable to face buffy at the moment, "So what do we need that we don't have?"
Willow smiled a tad, "We actually have it now."
Angel looked confused, "How could we have it now and not before?"
Spike smiled and Buffy just stared down. Spike couldn't let this one slide so he spoke before Willow could, "The missing ingredient in the Darla birth is...the blood and soul of the slayer!"
