Ms. Rosenberg, Angel-
-Sonny good to see you we came to help-
-Problems-
-A few set backs. One we're not letting go any further-
-Good to know. Come in-
-Some security you got-
-You know who I am why lie.-
Courtney walked in.
Sonny oh I'm sorry-
-Courtney Angel and Willow-
-Hi nice to met you. You where with Jason a couple of months ago-
-Yes I was-
-So? You guy here on business-
-Yes we are.-
Courtney got the picture she wasn't allowed to know what was going on.
Okay I get it. I've got work on the docks tonight I'll see you later Sonny-
-Okay. - The door closed.
-Have you gotten anywhere with this Price person-
-No he using magic to cover his tracks-
-Wes is on his butt though I doubt I could pull him off-
-And the succubus-
-Well my partner is working on it in house but we want to get to W&H in New York I also want to get close to the other players in this game-
-Yeah like this Faith person.-
Sonny looked at Willow. Faith would eat her alive.
I think it would be best if I deal with her on this-
-Sonny you know Adella doesn't want you involved. - Angel said.
-Angel, my mother is a slayer, my daughter is a slayer to be, and her mother is a slayer. I'd say I'm in knee deep. I've been dealing with Faith sense her husbands unfortunate death-
-I've use that before you know. - Angel said Sonny smirked.
-I'm sure you have. Beside you didn't see the look on Elizabeth face when Jason brought her here. Faith has tried to kill her so many times I can't tell you. I promised to protect her and I will. I feel useless they won't let me do anything.- Sonny almost whined.
-Kinda hard for a control freak isn't it Sonny.-
Willow smiled at him.
You have no idea. I'll deal with Faith I assure you of that. I'll hit her where it hurts the most business.-
They docked.
That was a bust. - Elizabeth said.
-No it wasn't, we know where they've been hiding now we have something they don't the upper hand. The device we put in the cave give us an advantage-
-I guess I just wished it would have been over.- Elizabeth said.
-Oh Elizabeth it's never that easy. - Alexis said.
-Natasha right it's always complicated.-
Sam got off the boat.
So you guys disappointed? -
-No we got one step ahead thanks to you Sam-
-I've been around the block so trust when I say I've seen things-
-We got you.- Adella said.
-Give my best to Sonny-
-We will.-
When they got home they found Angel and Willow there after the hellos. Angel gave Adella and Alexis the bad news.
My partner suggested a different more aggressive approach I think we need to take it-
-What's that-
-Where trying to catch them in the act. Prove they've done something wrong-
-That's the plan?-
Adella looked at Alexis.
Couldn't hurt how do we plan our attack? - Adella said.
-Hit their prized possession the demon offspring. - Angel said.
-Take away there asset the slayers there using as baby factories. - Willow said.
-Bind the project financially. - Angel finished.
-The finance part will take lawyers. - Willow said.
-I know one. - Sonny said looking at Alexis.
-I know two. - Angels said.
-Three lawyers, I say we've got that section locked up. - Willow said.
-What about the Slayers-
-That means dealing with Faith. - Sonny said. - I think I should handle that I've already spoken to Angel and Willow on it-
-Michael-
-I tired Adella he's not backing down.- Angel said.
-Then you two are a team got it. - They nodded.
-Use Liz to she wants a peace of Faith-
-So I'm guessing I'll be working with Ric and Gunn on this one?- Alexis said.
-That's the Idea Tasha. - Angel said
Elizabeth sat rocking Lexa when Sonny and Angel came in.
What's up-
-You and I both know on one has a bigger grudge with Faith more then you. How would like to go after her in full force. Find out how she's setting up these slayers-
-Boy would I! Wha's the game plan-
-Hit her hard and hit her fast right in her pocket-
-That means Luke-
-Who's Luke-
-Oh Angel he kinda like an older wiser Spike if that possible.-
Angel groaned. Sonny and Elizabeth asked. Once everyone was settled Sonny walked into his apartment. His mother was waiting.
Michael we need to talk-
-About-
-You and Natasha this can't go on-
-I'm working on it but Alexis has been hurt to badly by me-
-I know but she still loves you.-
Sonny blinked it was a cross between shock and hope.
That's good to know-
-Michael this isn't a war-
-Yes mom it is. We or I've done some terrorable things. I have to fight for her-
-Be sure you want her Michael. That's what she really afraid of, you get to that point when big mouth will beappealing again-
-I doubt that for reasons I don't want to get into we can't get back together and I won't spend my life alone.-
Willow and Angel walked the docks it was nice night. The sat down and watched the stars.
Wills-
-Hmm-
-Why did you ask about Buffy?-
Willow sighed she left his question unanswered before he wouldn't let it go now.
I always believed that you would love Buffy forever and not even think of loving another woman. But then again I never thought Cordy'd be the kind of women you could ever love at all. I saw her change, even I was like wow. Her aura was so strong and so powerful and so bright-
-You just wanted to be wrapped in it-
-Yes-
-But. - Angel said.
-The only but would be about Buffy. She's moved on you know, you have the right to. Its okay to-
-I know I'm seeing someone-
-That someone is safe. - Willow said.
-Safe-
-Safe not to fall in love with. I think that's why you two never told each other how you felt.- Willow told him.
-We never got to. - Angel said.
-You had plenty of time. Before she died-
-Okay so we did, okay so I did-
-Angel, Buffy moved on you get to. Not a "relationship" but fall in love be happy move on. No one said you can't go back-
-But there's Spike and his love and Buffy could love him and the Immortal and she could love him. I fell like-
-You'll miss your chance-
-Yes-
-So what-
-What-
-So what. If you fell head over heals for Kat right now. You know what I'm talking about safe, comfortable, existing, passion and angst type love. So what if you missed your chance with Buffy you've got love in your life. That counts don't let anybody tell you different, don't waste that love looking back waiting for the old love to come along. Because Angel it would be a waste.-
When did she become this woman.
You still haven't told me why we've been having the love talk-
-Because I think Kat's wonderful-
-Oh.-
He watched her get up and looks out over PC harbor. He got up and turned her, she frowned. Then he leaned down and kissed her, Willow resisted at first strange being kissed by a man after so long. She opened up and the passion poured out of them both. When the broke apart the where breathing hard. He put his forehead to hers.
What was that-
-That was what if-
-Hmm, it was good but-
-Yeah but. Glad I was right though-
-About-
-What an unbelievable lover and women you'd be when you grew up.-
Willow laughed out loud.
You got that from a kiss-
-Yes. - He kissed her nose
He looked at Willow.
You being here makes the pain of losing her hurt less-
-Her who-
-Cordelia-
-Glad to be of service.-
Someone cleared their throat.
I'm sorry Mr. Angel right-
-Just Angel Mr. Jax-
-Just Jax-
-Willow Ann Rosenberg.- Angel said.
-Just Willow.- She smiled.
-It's very nice to meet you-
-They do make them in total hottie in this town don't they-
-Thank you I think. How Alexis-
-You haven't seen her?- Angel said.
-She's been busy getting involved with Sonny again I warned her-
-Trust meAlexis is in no danger with Sonny.- Willow sighed.
-You haven't seen the wake hurrcain Corinthos leaves behind him.- Jax snapped.
-Well then it's up to Alexis isn't it.- Willow snapped back.
He looked at Willow.
Yes I suppose it is. And you what about the clan Corintos appeals to you-
-Nothing really just business.- Willow said.
-I doubt that-
-Well then that's your problem.- Willow growled. -She always like that-
-Only when challenged.- Angel smirked.
-She likes a challenge-
-She's gay-
-Didn't look like it from that kiss-
-Resent assurance. Met two women it happens.- Willow said.
-Yeah I know met three women they met Corinthos and that's it.- Jax said -He his dangerously cute. Whereas your just mischievous he also got that deeper thing going for him.- Willow said.
-They all say that-
-Women like the deep, I know. - Angel said.
-He's deep himself. Women flock to him like files. - Willow said.
-I think I'm insulted.- Jax said.
-Just deeply hurt one of those three you really loved. - Willow asked.
-So much so I ruined my marriage-
-Didyou love women you married-
-Of course-
-Not enough it seems.- Willow said.
-You don't know me well enough to tell me how muchI loved my wife-
-No I don't but I'm stating the obvious Jax. If you loved her you would have thought twice before letting your marriage get ruined. Don't get mad just think about it.-
He did that's why he was mad. He didn't say anything she was young but old and wise beyond her years.
Don't worry she does that to everybody.- Angel said.
-Hey you guys. Sonny said you hadn't come back.- Alexis -So the Calvary shows up?- Willow said.
-Yeah, hey Jax.- Turning to the blond.
-Alexis I missed you-
-No make jabs-
-What did I say-
-I missed you the next will be see what spending time with Sonny dose keeps you from your friends.-
Jax opened his mouth and closed it.
Okay no jabs how are you?-
Willow looked at Angel.
That our que goodnight mister Jax-
-Just Jax, Willow, Angel.-
Alexis watch them go.
Strange new friends-
-Yes but their good ones-
-What's going on Alexis-
-Hard to say. Adella trying to play match maker, Sonny know Kristina's his daughter and I'm working on a hard and dangerous case. That by the way has nothing to do with Sonny-
-I'm sure. Did you say Kristina is-
-Yes-
-Alexis why didn't you say something all the things you went through-
-Because I need to know that I could do this by myself and I know now that I can. I'm sorry about leavening you out-
-I know I have a nasty habit of giving up on people who get involve with him-
-Yeah I noticed. Jax don't let Sonny push you out your a better fighter then that-
-Yes but then we'd have to compromise and I don't want to do that-
-On what-
-You, Sam, the people I consider friends the people he considers friends. We're connected like it or not and that makes for problems-
-Yes but your both better men then that. If you say that I said that about him I'll kill you-
-Why-
-He's been working on me. Trying to get my forgiveness, I think seeing his mother showed him just how alone he was even surrounded by the people he called family-
-How is Adella? -
-Bull headed as she ever was-
-How do you two know each other?-
