At The Hyperion

Okay, things? Definitely insane. Buffy still can't stop treating me like a little kid can she? I really wonder about that sometimes. I've never been much for following anything that she says. It's just with all the insanity... with everything that's been going on I'm not even sure we've had anything that could be considered a decent conversation -

My eyes followed Lena as she walked past Dawn, Buffy and Willow and headed right out the front door. Once she'd left I looked down at the card in my hand which had her phone numbers on it. What the hell was I supposed to think about all this anyway? Lena wanted me gone, then Lena wanted me dead, then she wanted to help. Could she just make up her mind for once? Guess it didn't matter. Not like I trusted her, I never would trust her.

"Hey guys." I deadpanned, looking up at Willow, Tessa, Buffy, Xander and Dawn. "Welcome home." I smiled dryly. Tessa was back, so I probably should go rescue Kennedy from babysitting.

Had to do something before I went upstairs and collected my daughter. "Buffy, you got a sec? I need to talk to you."

"Buffy, you got a sec? I need to talk to you."

Thank god, Faith to the rescue, now that is a weird thought. Still much rather talk to Faith than have to deal with Sister issues. Really I wanted to take the "ignore them and they will go away" approach to that little problem. Though one day I knew I was going to have to deal with Dawn and Xander, I just wanted to avoid that for as long as possible.

"Of course Faith." I said her name, it makes it sound like we were still the same friends we were for five minutes back in my senior year in High School. Maybe I want that on a level, for us to be friends.

I walk over to Faith and lead her to a spot a bit more private and than look at her. "What do you need to talk to me about?"

Sure, I was distracted but I couldn't help noticing the relieved look on Buffy's face when I said I needed to talk to her. Wondered what that was all about. Cause B? Never relieved to talk to me, and she was gonna be even less relieved when I told her what the score was.

I followed Buffy into one of the office and closed the door behind us. She was looking at me expectantly, as I sat down in the chair and faced her.

"It's Angel. Lena says he's in some serious shit." I deadpanned, might as well get right to business. Plus, it was Angel. The two of us had to go and bust his ass out from wherever he was.

"It's Angel. Lena says he's in some serious shit."

I nod slowly, this was not what I had been expecting to hear, but I guess I had not really been sure what to expect.

Angel, she must have known how this would effect me, how just hearing he was in trouble made me want to pick up a weapon and just have someone point where to go to find him and do whatever I could to help him. No the trouble he was in was probably not one so easily handled, I needed to be calm, to keep my head.

“So what are we going to do about? What are our options?”

Okay, this time I did rush over to Xander. I immediately grasped him close in a hug.

"Oh my god, I'm so glad you're back." I gave a huge sigh of relief.
