Riley was still rattling on about the Initiatives most resent capture. Buffy had turned him out a long time ago. Her eyes were searching the crowd for the mysterious stranger she had seen before. He wasn't anywhere. With a sigh she turned back to Riley. "Buffy you okay?" Riley asked putting a hand on top of hers.

"Yeah," she said slipping her hand out of his, "I just have to go on patrol," she got up and slipped on her jacket.

"Do you want me to come with?" Riley asked.

"No," she said quickly, "You stay here, have some fun." She really needed to straighten out her thoughts. That stranger had really shaken her up. Her heart was still beating faster than normal. "Tell the guy's I'm sorry I had to leave," and with that she headed to the exit.

She reached the cemetery with in minutes of leaving the bronze. As she wandered through the graves he thoughts turned back to the mystery man. His dark eyes had seemed to burn a hole in to her. She wondered if she would ever see him again. She was silently reminding herself of Riley when the sounds of a fight reached her ears. Without a seconds hesitation she was already running towards the sounds.

When she reached the fight she found a bleached blond that looked strangely familiar knocked out on the ground and a dark haired girl that was about to be bitten by a tall brunette vamp. Buffy quickly staked him and moved on to the cluster of eight vampires that were obviously trying to attack something. She quickly staked two of them before they knew what happened. She ducked as one through a punch at her head. She was surprised to see a vampire flying into a headstone out of the corner of her eye. A bolt form a cross bow quickly turned him to dust. She turned back to her vampire just in time to catch a fist in her face. She quickly recovered and kicked him in the stomach. As he doubled over she staked him and turned to another vampire before he exploded to dust. She quickly dusted two more. She turned around to see the last vampire be staked. As it exploded into dust, Buffy was surprised to see the man from the bronze standing in front of where the vampire had been. He looked as alarmed as she felt.

"Okay," she said when she finally got her breath, "what are you?"

"What are you?" he asked back.

"I asked first," she said putting her hand on her hips.

"That was bloody amazing." Buffy turned to see it was the now conscious blond who had spoken. She was surprised to see him holding a cross bow.

With an annoyed sigh she said, "I'm Buffy the Vampire Slayer," she extended her hand. As they shook hands she felt a jolt start in her arm and run through her toes. They both quickly let go in shock. After a few seconds she sighed again and asked, "And you are?"

"Oh," he said, "um, I'm Angel," when he saw the look on Buffy's face he continued, "The Warrior. And this is Spike and Dru."
