"So, are you guys going to send me back or not?" Buffy asked.

"No." Wyatt declared. "You can't give up yet."

"Look, how many times do I have to say this." Buffy asked rolling her eyes. "Chris doesn't know who I am, he is in love with another woman."

"Yeah, an evil whore." Mel said bitterly.

"That may be the case but, I can't do anything about it." Buffy sighed.

"So, you don't care if." Mel began indignantly stopping at the sight of Chris and Bianca orbing into the room. "What the hell is she doing here?"

"Shut up." Chris said angerly. "She's hurt."

"Yeah, what happened?" Jess asked "She try and kill another witch and they fought back?"

"If you must know, I was attacked by a vampire." Bianca said haughtily bringing her hand away from her neck to show them the wound.

"Can someone please heal her?' Chris asked shaking his head.

"What?" Phoebe whispered to Buffy who was gazing intently at Bianca's wound as Wyatt stepped foward to heal it.

"Something's off." Buffy mumbled her own hand instinctively going to the scar on her neck. "How'd you get away?" She asked studying the other woman.

"He was scared off when Chris orbed in." Bianca replied gazing at her curiously.

"Magic Boy? I doubt it." Buffy laughed.

"Are you calling me a liar?" Bianca asked.

"No, I'm just saying you weren't attacked by a vampire." Buffy replied.

"Why would she lie about that?" Chris demanded.

"I don't know. But, the puncture wounds in her neck were caused by a weapon, not teeth." Buffy replied.

"How the hell would you know?" Bianca demanded furiously.

"Well, you had two nicely placed holes puncturing your skin, but you forgot one thing." Buffy explained Brushing aside the hair on her neck. "You see when a vampire bites you the teeth go in splitting the vein." She said tracing the faint scar. "Your vein wasn't split, you weren't bleeding enough, unless the vampire drank most of your blood, but then you wouldn't have been able to stand so. Then again, I could be wrong."

"You are, he just started to bite when Chris showed up." Bianca hurried to explain.

"Ok then." Buffy replied. "So what did it look like?"

"Excuse me?" Bianca asked.

"Male, female? short, tall? Blonde or brunette. You know a physical description. Need to know what I'm looking for." Buffy explained rolling her eyes.

"Who the hell is she?" Bianca asked.

"I'm not really sure." Chris replied. "Have we met? I mean not before, when you saved me but, I have this feeling I know you."

"We've met." Buffy said surprising everyone. "About twenty two years ago." She added.

"Wait, I was a baby." Chris said confused.

"Yes, you were." Buffy said.

"Why does any of this matter." Bianca groaned rolling her eyes.

"Long story short, I was minding my own business when your brother decided to trick me into coming here with him and so, here I am." Buffy explained.

"This is Buffy." Piper quickly introduced.

"She has this habit of saving our asses." Paige added smiling.

"Buffy." Chris murmured "Why does that sound familiar?"

"Oh, I forgot." Buffy exclaimed.

"What?" Leo asked concerned.

"I'm famous here." She replied grinning. "I'm Buffy Summers, the vampire slayer."

"What!" Chris exclaimed. "You guys never said we knew herཀ"

"You never said she was that Buffy." Mel added glaring at Wyatt.

"See, I'm like a rock star." Buffy said grinning.

"But, I though she died." Chris began confused.

"She has a habit of doing that to." Leo interrupted.

"Job hazzard." Buffy replied shrugging. "It doesn't really ever seem to take though."

"True." Leo replied.

"So tell me about the big bad, I'll make it go poof and then I can be on my way." Buffy said turning to Bianca.

"I didn't get a good look at his face." Bianca replied studying her carefully.

"Is there anything you remember about him, or did he say anything?" Buffy asked.

"I tore his shirt when we were fighting, He had a tattoo, I didn't see much but it had wings or something." Bianca replied. "He said he had a message, didn't give it to me though."

"That's because you were the message." Buffy said shocked. "The tattoo, it was right about here?" She asked gesturing to her shoulder blade." Bianca nodded.

"Buffy what's wrong?" Phoebe asked.

Theresa: Angel sends his love.

Buffy is caught off guard by that and hesitates a moment. Theresa kicks Buffy's arm and sends the stick flying away. She grabs Buffy by the shoulders, wrestles her onto her back and pins her. Buffy struggles to keep her at bay. Behind her Xander has grabbed the easel and jams one of its legs through Theresa's back. She bursts into ashes. Buffy stares up at Xander. He tosses the easel aside and looks down at her. Buffy looks aside sadly and then rolls over.

Buffy: (to herself) Angel. (gets to her knees)

Xander: (leans down to her) Are you okay?

Buffy: (takes his hand) This isn't happening. (pulls herself up and hugs Xander) He's gonna keep coming after me.

Xander: (hugs back gently) Don't let him get to you. He's not the same guy you knew.

"It's Angel." Buffy Whispered.

"It can't be he was here, a few days ago." Piper began.

"He was here!" Buffy exclaimed worriedly. "Why didn't you tell me."

"He wasn't evil." Paige explained. "He had his soul. It can't be him."

"I can't take the chance. He'll come after you all, now that he knows who you are. Especially..." Buffy trailed off.

"Are you talking about the guy on the stairs?" Chris asked. "The one who threatened me?"

"He threatened you?" Buffy asked surprised.

"Yeah, it was odd." Chris replied still confused by it all.

"So your Chris." Angel asked scowling as he took him in.

"Yeah, and you are?" He asked confused.

"I'm the guy who's going to kick your ass if you hurt her." Angel replied threateningly continuing down the stairs.

"I have no idea who the guy even was." Chris explained. "I don't know how he knew me, or what girl he was talking about."

"It's a long story." Buffy replied. "Your sure he wasn't evil?"

"Positive." Phoebe replied.

"Um hello, who is Angel?" Sam asked.

"My ex." Buffy sighed. "If you've heard of me, you've heard of him."

"What, oh my god. Angelus?" Mel exclaimed.

"I need to find out what's going on." Buffy sighed. "Can I use your phone."

"Go ahead." Piper nodded.

"Your going to make a phone call?" Chris exclaimed. "You're the slayer,. The most powerful slayer ever, just go slay him."

"It's not that simple." Buffy replied annoyed.

"Why not?" Chris asked. "Because he was your boyfriend? That gives him a free pass to kill?"

"You really don't want to go there." Buffy furiously.

"Why not?" Chris asked. "I guess your not as great as I thought."

"Guys." Wyatt began trying to diffuse the situation.

"I wouldn't bother." Leo said slightly amused.

"You know what." Buffy began furiously. "Not that it's any of your damn business but, I'm going to make a call to a friend to find out if Angel has in fact turned evil. And yes I did date him, he was my first love and I had to kill him once and will again if he has turned. I don't give free passes to people just because I have warm and fuzzy feelings for them, I'm not you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Chris asked.

"It's not a riddle." Buffy shot back. "You accuse me of not wanting to kill my ex because I have feelings for him but, you let your girlfriend get away with killing witches."

"She didn't do it." Chris said furiously.

"Why because she says she didn't?" Buffy asked rolling her eyes. "I bet if I asked Angel, evil or not, he'd say he didn't attack her." She paused spinning around to glare at Bianca. "I wouldn't even try it princess."

"Try what?" Bianca asked refusing to back down.

"I know that look." Buffy replied. "The last girl who gave it to me spent the next six months of her life in a coma."

"Are you threatening me?" Bianca demanded.

"No, just warning you."" Buffy replied calmly. "Don't mess with me."

"I'm not afraid of you." Bianca declared.

"Really?" Buffy replied.

"Stay away from her." Chris said stepping between them.

"Or what?" Buffy asked amused. "You'll say more mean things to me?"

"Where's dad?" Sam asked suddenly grabbing everyone's attention.

"He was just here." Paige began. "Kyle!"

"Hey." Kyle said orbing in.

"Where did you go?" Paige asked confused.

"To check something out." He replied.

"Is he?" Buffy asked nervously.

"No." Kyle replied.

"Thank god." Buffy sighed.

"So if it wasn't Angel who attacked Her than who did?" Jamie asked.

"Like I said, I'm not even sure she was even attacked." Buffy said skeptically.

"Why would I lie?" Bianca demanded.

"Because you're an evil whore." Sam offered.

"How dare you." Bianca began raising her hand to slap her. But before she could Buffy grabbed her hand.

"Don't even think about it." Buffy said bending her wrist back.

"Let me go." Bianca said wincing as her bones began to crack.

"Your starting to piss me off, and you really don't want that." Buffy said throwing her to the floor. "The people in this room are like family to me. You hurt my family and."

"I'll regret it?" Bianca asked rolling her eyes.

"You wont live to." Buffy said leaning over her and glaring lethally.

"Chris are you going to let her talk to me like this?" Bianca asked furiously.

"I." Chris began nervously.

"He wont be able to protect you." Buffy said lethally.

"You don't scare me." Bianca insisted. "You have no idea who I am."

"And I don't care." Buffy replied rolling her eyes. "I faced worse. On a scale of one to ten your about a point five. But, your so tough, go on try me."

"I don't have to take this." Bianca said shimmering out.

"That's what I thought." Buffy said smirking. "Well?" She asked turning to Chris.

"What?" He asked nervously.

"Aren't you going to run off after her, make sure she didn't beak a nail or something?" Buffy asked rolling her eyes.

"I hope your all happy now." Chris said furiously orbing out.

"God he pisses me off." Buffy exclaimed furiously.

"Just like old times." Phoebe said grinning.

"He always did have a way with words." Paige added trying to smother her laughter.

"What now?" Wyatt asked.

"Now, if I know Chris, he's going to go after Angel himself." Buffy sighed.

"But, it's ok because he's good." Piper said nervously.

"He may be good, but he doesn't like your son very much and knowing Chris, he'll orb in swinging." Buffy sighed flopping down on the sofa.
