Xander stared at the Magic Box door as they walked up to it. It seemed like the gate to hell. Since Giles bought the Magic Box, Xander had always looked forward to being there with his friends. Hell, more then friends, they were more like family. Now it was the last place he wanted to set foot in with Buffy acting the way she was. He sighed and grabbed a hold of Spike’s hand.
Spike smiled, “It’s going to be okay, pet. Promise.” He wished he felt the same. “Angel, does Buffy or anyone here know about you and Lorne?” He looked at Angel with sympathy when he shook his head. “Man I hope you can fight, Lorne. Buffy is going to be pissed when she finds out. She has been going on and on about Angel since defeating the First and trying to kill me.”
Angel glared and his face took on an Angelus look. “Let her try and touch what’s mine again. I may care for Buffy, but she will not control me like she does with Giles and Willow.” He grabbed Lorne’s hand and held on tight.
Xander took a deep, labored breath and opened the door. He looked inside and saw that just Giles and Willow could be seen then pushed the door open completely, “Hey guys. What’s up tonight?” He stepped in and pulled Spike in behind him.
Angel cleared his throat, “Xander?” He stood patiently, waiting for his invite to the building.
Xander turned around, “Oh, sorry, come on in, Angel, Lorne.” He turned back to the duo at the table in the bac the the Magic Box and gripped Spike's hand harder when he felt him shake. “Where’s the almighty Slayer?”
Giles sighed, “She said something about going to the mall for a new outfit.” He closed his book. “To be perfectly honest, I’m just as glad she’s gone. I’m so sick of her ego. She wants to be the almighty Slayer so bad, but she won’t listen when I tell her she can’t handle all the power.” He looked up and blinked. “Angel, what are you doing here?”
Angel smiled at Giles. Inside he felt bad for him because he looked so much older then he had before. He looked so tired and worn. “I came because Spike needed me.”
Willow frowned, “What do you mean Spike needed you? He has all us to help him?” She blushed, "Sorry, I didn’t mean that you aren’t wanted but I mean.” She stopped, “Goddess.”
Angel smiled, “Its okay, Willow, I know what you mean. Spike needed his sire and I wasn’t sure whether you all were involved or not, but, from what I’ve recently heard, you were not aware of the latest developments.”
Willow smiled, “Before we get to the serious, who’s your friend, Angel?”
Angel smiled, “Oh sorry, this is Lorne. He’s…” He paused then started, “He’s my boyfriend and works with me in LA.”
Lorne stepped around Angel, “Hello.”
Willow smiled, “Hello, I’m Willow and this is Buffy’s Watcher, Rupert Giles.”
Giles nodded to Lorne and smiled a half smile. It’s all he could manage these days.
Willow’s mouth hung open, “Wait if he’s your boyfriend… Angel, what about your soul?”
Angel waved her off. “Its okay. It was made permanent a while ago. Its okay now.” He smiled at the redhead witch when she smiled and clapped.
Willow bounced, "That's fantastic Angel. Its nice to met you Lorne.”
Giles got up from the table and walked over to the counter. “Yes I’m very glad to hear that your soul has been anchored, Angel. Its very nice to met you, Lorne.” He looked over his shoulder at the others, “Would anyone like some tea?”
Lorne smiled, “Yes please.” He watched as the man reached shaking hands up to a top shelf to get a kettle and tea. “Mr. Giles, how about I make you some tea instead of you making it for us. You look like you could use a rest.”
Giles sighed and looked at his hands. They shook like a leaf. Anyone else who only saw his hands would think he was 100 years old. “Yes, thank you. I think I could use a rest.” He walked over and took his seat again. “So Angel what is this latest situation that Spike need you for?”
Xander stepped forward and talked before Angel had a chance. “Spike has been hurt badly, and its Buffy’s fault.”
Willow and Giles both frowned at Xander. “Xan, what do you mean? How is it Buffy’s fault?” Willow asked.
Xander was seething, “How is it her fault! Well for one she left him out in the cold at his crypt alone, but that isn’t what has me pissed. She refused to feed him! She wouldn’t give him blood. He couldn’t get it because he was broke and because she broke Willie’s arm and told him not to give anyone blood if it was for Spike. I found him in his crypt starving to death! He hasn’t been able to walk or anything for days!”
By the time he was finished Spike was wrapped around him trying to calm him down. “Easy pet. They didn’t do it remember. I’m alright.” He rubbed and massaged Xander’s stomach muscles.
Xander clenched his teeth. “I’m sorry I lashed out at you.”
Everyone heard sniffling from the basement doorway behind them. Turning around they saw Dawn standing there. “Buffy almost killed Spike? She made him starve?”
Xander sighed. He hadn't known Dawn waere.ere. He nodded, “Yeah, Dawn. She did.”
Dawn sobbed and ran to Spike. She flung herself in his arms. “I’m sorry that she hurt you too. Don’t leave, you’re the only person who cares now. Buffy doesn’t even talk to me anymore. She just patrols and trains. She yells Giles and Willow. She says that without her we would all just get killed by demons.”
Spike held on to Dawn like a lifeline. “Its okay,. If. If she wasn’t around I’d protect you lot. Nothing’s going to happen to my gal. You know that right, Dawn?”
Dawn smiled and nodded, “Yeah I know.” Looking over at the others she frowned. “Who are you?” She asked Lorne.
Lorne smiled, “Just your average aura reading demon. My name’s Lorne. I came with Angel from LA.” He smiled, “Would you like tea too my dear?” He poured a cup with an extra strong ingredient for Giles. A little rum never hurt anyone. “Here you are, Mr. Giles.”
Giles smiled at Lorne, “Thank you. There are packages of the Raspberry Tea that Dawn drinks in cupboard.” He took a sip of the tea and hummed. “Are you sure you’re not a British demon?”
Lorne smiled, “I’m quite sure I’m not. I’m from Pylea, but I learned to make tea from Wesley.” He turned back to the counter to heat some water for the Raspberry tea.
Giles nodded, “Yes Wesley made great tea. How is he?” He sipped the tea. He sighed as he tasted the special ingredient and stood to stretch the tight muscles in his back. As he stretched, his knees gave out from under him and he collapsed against the table.
Angel rushed over to help. “Giles, are you alright. When was the last time you have slept or eaten?” He could feel Giles ribs. “You need food and rest. Is there anything else you need?”
Giles sighed and looked away.
Willow spoke up, “Yes there is something else he needs. He’s told me on numerous occasions, but he is afraid of the things Buffy will say about it. I’m going to get him for you Giles. I swear it. I’ll start looking for him right now.” She took her hand and pushed everything off the table. “I should have done this the first time you mentioned him. Buffy be damned.” She took a piece of aged paper from a bookshelf and cast a spell over it.
Everyone watched as lines and shapes appeared out of nowhere. One dot stood out the most as it shined brightly. Xander frowned, “Giles, what is she doing?”
Giles closed his eyes, “She’s casting a locator spell. She’s going to contact someone for me.” He watched as Willow whispered things to who he hoped was the right person.
Willow wasn’t close to being finished talking when a burst of wind whipped into the Magic Box. The storm brewed and whirled in the foyer as the wind blew papers and bottles off of tables.
Xander and Spike curled protectively around Dawn as they watched the storm with fascination.
Lorne hit the ground and shielded his face. “What the hell is that?”
Angel shielded his and Giles’s face. “I don’t know. Willow, what’s going on?”
As the wind died down and the storm passed, a man stood staring at them. He looked over and pushed Angel out of the way before collecting Giles in his arms and holding him tight.
Giles laid his head down on the black, shirt covered shoulder. “Ethan.”
Angel stood up from the floor and walked over to Lorne. “Are you alright?”
Lorne nodded.
Angel checked Lorne over, looking for scrapes or something broken. When he was satisfied that nothing was broken he turned around to Willow, Giles and Ethan.
Xander and Spike relaxed marginally and moved away from Dawn. “This is what you need Giles?” Dawn whispered.
Giles held on tighter to Ethan and nodded, “Yeah, this is what I need.”
Ethan smiled, “I need you too.” He looked Giles over and frowned, “What has happened to you?” He led Giles over to the chair that he had tried to vacate earlier.
Willow sighed, “I’ll tell you everything.” She told Ethan the whole story from start to finish. She told him about the First and all the potentials and the amulet. “She has been so power hungry.”
Ethan held Giles tighter and gnashed his teeth together. “I’m going to kill that bitch.” He looked Giles over. “Look at you, Ripper. What has she done?” He could feel his chaos demon roaring inside him.
Giles looked at the floor. “I know I’m not what I use to be but I can give you all I have left. Please don’t leave.” He held on tighter to Ethan. He wasn’t going to let him go this time. He did last time for Buffy, but not this time.
Ethan sighed, “I’m not going anywhere. I just meant that you look so worn. I’m going to take care of you and I’m going to take you with me away from here. You need to regain your health.”
Angel nodded, “Yeah, I think we need to get everyone away from here. You can all stay with Lorne and I in LA. We have more then enough room at the hotel.” He smiled and held Lorne’s hand.
Lorne nodded, “Yes please come stay with us.”
Xander pulled Spike into his side, “As soon as we confront Buffy we’re getting out of this hell hole.” He looked down at Spike when he poked him, “What?”
Spike motioned with his eyes to Dawn.
Xander smiled, “Like I’d leave without Dawn.” He looked at Dawn, “Do you want to go to LA with us, Dawnie?”
Dawn nodded, “Yes, I want to go with you guys. I don’t want to stay here with Buffy.” She held on to Spike’s hand. “You said you wouldn’t leave me and I won’t leave you.”
Spike smiled, “Good. Don’t know what I’d without you Bit.”
Giles looked at Willow, “What about you Willow? You can’t stay here alone.”
Willow shook her head, “Its okay. I’m going to Cleveland to be with Kennedy and help the Faith with the other slayers. I was suppose to go before but I didn’t want to leave you and Xander here with Buffy.”
The group stood around talking until the front door came open with aloud crash. “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!”
Xander stepped in front of Dawn and Spike since they were close to the door, “Buffy.” He growled.
