"An even better question would be who are you?" said Cordelia as she stepped in front of Gunn with her arms crossed

"I'm the slayer" said Buffy as she stared at the brown haired girl

"The slayer" asked Gunn "Was this…" asked Gunn to Wesley

"Yes" said Wesley as he bowed his head "That slayer was supposed to be mine"

"What!" shouted Xander, at the look he got from the AI gang he said "I tend to be a little bit over dramatic"

"Noted" said Gunn with a slight nod

Library

"So what did you say your names were?" asked Giles as he took of his glasses

"My name is Wesley Wyndham-Pryce and these are my associates Charles Gunn, Cordelia Chase and the one asleep is Hope Anales" said Wesley who was sitting around one of the tables in the library

"Ok" said Giles as he replaced his glasses "And you were a watcher?"

"Yes, but I found the job somewhat restrictive, and if I may say boring" said Wesley

"Uh hum" said Giles as he glared at the laughing Buffy

"So what do you do now?" asked Giles briskly

"I work and co-run Angel Investigations"

"Angel investigations" asked Xander

"Yes, do you find the name funny" asked Cordelia as she stared intensely at him

"Em no" he whispered

"Good" snapped Cordelia

"Ok them" said Buffy "What does Angel Investigators do then"

"We help people with unexplainable paranormal occurrences" said Wesley

"Yeah and we get paid quite a hefty sum" said Cordelia a she winked at Gunn who smiled

"So what, like the modern day Ghostbusters?" said Xander

"Is he for real" asked Hope as she got up from the bench she was laying on

"Afraid so" said Cordelia as she smiled at her friend "How you doing?"

"I feel like I've just been run over by a truck…and been reversed over" she responded as she walked over to take the seat by Gunn

"Sounds like my visions" said Cordelia

"Um" said Hope as she rubbed her head

"Buffy" came the sound of a voice as the library doors swung open and a tall pale face guy entered the room

"Angel" said Buffy quickly as she stood up

"Giles" said Angel

"Angel"

"Oh great its dead boy" said Xander

"Xander" scolded Willow who had been quiet up until now

"So what's up" asked Buffy

"I heard a group of vampires were heading over to the cemetery, but I haven't been able to find them"

"Its ok, they've been taken care of" said Buffy

"What!"

"Yep all thanks to our friendly neighbourhood watchers the Angel investigation team" said Buffy as she titled her head over to the AI team

"Who?" said Angel as he glanced over to the group around the table


"So how did you all meet?" asked Willow who was always up for a good story "I mean how was the team formed"

"It one hell of a long story" said Gunn

"We've got time" said Buffy as she jumped up on the counter and crossed her legs

"Well…" said Hope looking at Cordy

Looking up Cordelia found herself staring into the brown eyes of the man called Angel "I guess it starts with me" she whispered "I guess I was about what 11, 12 met my first vampire then. I was out playing in the grounds, my nanny sat on the bench watching me, but some how I found I had drifted away from her" Cordelia then stopped and smiled "I saw some guy call a kid into a small building I told the kid not to go, but would he listen to me nooooo. He went and of course I followed only to find that the guy was doing something to the boy's neck and the boys eyes were wide open almost like in shock. I remember that the guy eyes were golden and I wonder how something so beautiful could cause so much pain. When he pulled away I say the boy's body drop and there was blood around the guy's mouth. He looked up at me and smiled and then said to me that he would be after me, that there were things in the dark that could tear me limb from limb and I couldn't do anything about it. After that I pretty much freaked ran to my nanny and demanded to go home" said Cordelia with a laugh

"Gosh that must have been horrible" said Willow

"Not so much" said Cordelia

Angel had been looking at the girls eyes during the story he could see the pain that she hid well behind her cool exterior, he felt her heartbeat race when she recounted the tale and he also smelt the angry and fear. But he knew that there was more to come….

"After that I asked my parent to send me to karate, judo pretty much any fighting forms I could learn. They hired the best trainers from around the world and I trained religiously for 5 years fuelled by my desire not to be taken by the darkness. Soon I forgot about the horror of my past, went to high school and became pretty much popular lived the dream life. That was until a guy came changed my life". Said Cordelia as she clenched her fists

"His name was Doyle, had one hell of an Irish accent" laughed Cordelia "He was the first demon I met outside of vampires of course, I didn't know he was a demon… well not for a while. He told me that he had been sent by the powers that be, said they needed the balance to restored. He also said he knew I had been searching, searching for that vampire, that I was scared that he would find and kill me. That there was more evil than that one vampire, that LA was evil. Ironic really since it's called the city of Angels. Anyway, he said that most people in LA will never know the darkness that exist and those that do have nowhere to turn; they become lost souls like me". Cordelia swallowed the rising lump in her throat before continuing "They need a defender someone who believed, some one to stand against the forces of evil and that someone was me".

"So is that when you started AI" asked Willow

"No, I didn't want to fight evil, I was only 17 I was pretty, popular and rich why would I want to get mixed up in that. But Doyle was one persuasive guy so I joined him, I guess I enjoyed the company we fought vampires and demons together sometimes coming out more dead than alive. Until one day we were helping these demons to escape from LA, thought it would be a simple job compared to the near death experiences. But no, we had just got the demons aboard a ship when we noticed a device that would kill anyone none human in the area. The only way to stop it was to turn of the switch but to do that we had to get near the machine. It was a pretty big leap to the machine from where we were standing one that I as a human couldn't make. So Doyle turns to me and morphs into this blue scaly demon with spikes over his face. Tell me his sorry that he didn't tell me but he wanted me to trust him, and humans couldn't trust demons not yet anyway. I said I would have trusted him; he smiled and then kissed me. Told me that I'm the link, I'm still a defender. Then he jumped, I saw his skin melt away from his flesh as he was reduced to ashes" said Cordelia her voice slowly breaking

"It oks Cordy" said Hope as she hugged her "I guess I'm up next" said Hope as she looked at the scobbies.
