The Gunn Chronicles

While the others busied themselves winding down from the battle with the White haired Wizard Dude & his army of Vamps Faith went looking for Chao-Ahn.
She was clearly pissed at her about something & Faith wanted to know what it was. She had a feeling she knew but needed to be sure.
She had enough people on her case as it was, she really didn't need any more, & if they were gonna be hunting bad guys together in this City they needed to be
able to trust one another.
She found the younger Slayer sitting on the bed in the back room staring into space.

"Hey!" She said gently, moving over towards the bed slowly not wanting to startle her.

She got no response. After a moment she figured she would have to just say her piece.

"Look, Chao-Ahn. I gather from what you said out in the street there you got some kinda problem with me.....& I notice you're speakin English now...."

Still no reaction from the other girl. Faith felt the anger begin to rise at being ignored like that, but forced it down with a sigh.

"Look, when that meeting was called I thought Red was just gonna tell B to back off a bit. No way did I expect them to throw her out & put me in charge.
That really wasn't what I was looking for, but everything was so messed up back then & people were just lookin for someone to blame for all the shit....
& B was the one in charge I guess...."

She sat down on the bed next to Chao-Ahn & flicked a strand of hair back with her finger.

"Giles & B, they were the brains. They were the ones who made the plans. Then suddenly I'm in charge.....& I screwed up".

She sighed again

"What I'm tryin to say is I'm sorry for getting you all blowed up & nearly killed....I'm not a leader, I know that now.....point me at the bad guys & I'll take
em down, but don't expect me to lead the troops....cos I suck at that!"

Chao-Ahn finally turned to look at her, eyes flashing angrily.

"whoa, okay....I'm guessin from that look that ain't what you're pissed at me about?"

She held up her hands.

"you're gonna have to help me here...everything was one big shitstorm going up against The First....what did I do to piss you off so bad?"
 
Chao-Ahn was sitting on the bed thinking if she should stay since Gunn hadn't answer her


"Well first of all you never said if you going to tell Buffy where i am & what i doing . I mean that not the only thing i mad at but that one of them " Chao-Ahn said before taking a deep breath & walking to the window wearing her jacket & her sword as well as her knives & stakes . "And i always spoke English . No one ever asked if i did.

When Giles found me he asked who i was in Chinese & i replied back in my native tongue since i don't speak that . Then he said something rude under his breath & took me to get ice cream which i cant have since i lactose intolerant " Chao-Ahn said looking annoyed . "Then everyone thought i couldn't speak English for some weird reason . You didn't even try & have Willow use a language spell" Chao-Ahn hissed getting up & starting to walk around . " "I heard a lot of things . Most of them i figured i wasn't to hear . I knew Giles was talking with Robin about killing Spike & him & Buffy were hiding a lot of things " she said giving Faith a look . "And lets not forgot people thinking Giles was a image of the first " she said looking annoyed . "I knew he wasn't just by being with him but no one else did . Was i the only one with a sense of smell ?" she said shacking her head in disbelief.

And also lets not talk about people like Willow & Kennedy who were more interested in carrying on with each other & you boinking Robin & Xander walking around looking frustrated all the time " Chao-Ahn said about ready to sit down before getting up again . "And you didn't help things with you not going alone with what Buffy said which was a reason you were picked since they thought you were cool unlike Buffy who was strike . You were the cool parent & she was the strict one " Chao-Ahn said before sitting down looking tired . Then looked at faith with a angry look " Do you remember Chloe or do you just think she wasn't good enough for you all " she said a lot softer then before. " She used sign language to talk to me " she told Faith . "Kennedy thought she could train us even thought she was lousy as a teacher . She didn't have the patience for it but wanted to be in charge & looked what happened . She cussed out Chloe in front of everyone just because she could & that night Chloe hung herself " she said getting angry. " And Buffy gave a lecture remember ? She said Chloe was stupid & if we wanted to kill ourselves to go right ahead since she was the only one who mattered " Chao-Ahn said ready to spit . "That why she kicked out since she thought we didn't care ".

Chao-Ahn took a few deep breaths & got up again walking away from Faith before turning around " So what would you do if Buffy said to bring me in since according to Andrew & everything i heard you were willing to do anything Buffy said to make up for what you did " Chao-Ahn said tense looking at Faith like she was ready to attack her standing a few feet away from Faith near the door her hands ready to grab at her weapons.
.
 
Chao-Anh looked agitated & itching for a fight. Faith knew she could take her down but she was trying real hard to keep her temper under control these days, & she doubted her new boss would be too pleased if their fight trashed his office.
Plus this bed was the only place in town she had to sleep at the moment.....
She took a deep breath & slowly let it out calming herself......

"Okay, Chill out there girlfriend....B has no idea I'm here & I'd like to keep it that way ok! If she were to come here lookin for you I aint gettin involved right?
Yeah I was playin the good Slayer with B & her crew, but only in fightin the bad guys....I stay outta Slayer politics."
"Sides, she's got enough on her mind at the moment tryin to keep all the new Slayers in line, so unless you go creatin some kinda apocalypse here she isn't gonna be interested in lookin for you."

She tilted her head slightly to the side & frowned.

"Actually this is Angels patch so she would probably just leave it to him anyways..."

She got up & started to pace, tucking a strand of chestnut hair behind her ear with a finger.

"As for the other stuff, I was called in as extra firepower to fight The First. I had no idea what was going down most of the time. I tried to get to know all the wannabe Slayers, cos I figured you deserved it y'know, which is more'n B bothered to do, but someone told me you didn't speak any English an I don't know any Chinese....."

She paused & pulled a face

"I do know some Japanese......Too much watching Hentai in prison....."

She looked at the other girl & raised an eyebrow

"At a guess I'd say you don't swing that way so probably wouldn't have gone down too well..."

She chuckled, but then noticed the look on Chao-Ahn's face...

"Look, in my defence , you didn't put me right....you only had to say something & I woulda tried to get to know you too....."

She looked down at the floor & shoved her hands in her pockets.

"Look, I'm sorry if I did or said anything back there that got you pissed at me, but I really was only there to fight for the good guys, but things got so screwed up it
was hard to tell who the bad guys really were at times...."

She sighed & looked at the younger girl.

"I figure, if we're both gonna be fightin the bad guys in this town it would be a lot better for both of us if we knew we could count on each other when the shit goes down...."
"So, I got your back if you got mine....?"

She held out a hand & gave a slight smile......
 
Isabella had turned taciturn again, and so Gunn didn't press. She was the type to talk only when she felt it was needed, unlike Gunn who spoke mostly to releave his fears. It was a lot easier to deal with a fear once it was out in the open. You negotiate it, calculate it, put it to the side if need be, but you first had to acknowledge it in order to deal.

"Listen, why don't you take the pull out, I'm going to the roof, maybe do a little thinking, who knows maybe I'll copy my old boss and do a little brooding..." He said with a smirk, remembering how Angel had perfected the art of the long stare.

He left Isabella where she sat, and looked in on the two slayers talking... not fighting. He thought to say something, but ended up just closing the door slightly, deciding not to interfere, they had things to work out, and he wasn't privy to the politics of being super-powered fighting virtuoso with a mystical destiny.

"Office has some mystical protections, some partin' gifts from some friendly Furies, basically it's a little safe spot from most of your less powerful demons and sundry..." Gunn said calmly to no one in particular.

Spike seemed to be enjoying a long drag on a cigarette near the closed office window.

He gave the vampire a look, and then a look to a sign over near entrance next to the frosted glass of the office that said "Angel Investigations". In clear red letters it read "No Smoking", Spike shrugged, and continued on. Gunn shook his head at the defiance and said nothing as he pulled the window open, to give the small office a little ventilation. Pulling himself out the window, and on to the metal fire escape, he left the small space, his mind full of thoughts. Trudging up the stairs to the top of the old building and into the late night air.

It was coming to the early morning, and Gunn needed to process all that had occurred. Twenty four hours earlier, he'd been a lone wolf detective trying to pay the bills and maybe do some good, now he had met two slayers, been joined by one, and saved by both, reconnected with Spike, and been saved by a friendly powerful witch, who frankly he wasn't sure still strictly on the side of good and he found himself attracted too... not to mention he'd become the target of a powerful sorcerer, and he still hadn't gotten paid for any of it.

Just like old times... he mused to himself. A new team, same as the old team.

There was one thing that was different however, there was no Angel to defer the hard stuff too, no Wesley he could rib for being to stuffy, and no Cordy to keep him from getting to full of himself, no ...Fred... who he still couldn't bare to imagine and work through what the depth of what her loss meant to him.

So he stood there in silence, taking in the night, and remembering what he had lost, and what he had gained in the recent but now seemingly distant past.

Yet, as he looked out into the city of angels below, he could see them all reflected in the mission ahead. He imagined what a reunion of all of them would look like, but then ignored the thought, reunion's were for people who had moved on. He was still here... still fighting.
 
Chao-Anh took a deep breath after Faith was done speaking “ Well you being honest so I got to respect that “ she said calming down a bit . “And that what I was looking for from you “ she said looking at Faith all the anger leaving her body . “And from what I overheard I have a idea how she keeping them in line “ Chao-Anh said shacking her head . “ And I glad she won’t since from what I learned about Willow she would love to find out what happen with me by running tests & that a big no “ Chao-Anh said shacking her head.

“ Can I say the whole Angel thing from what I heard is messed up “ Chao-Anh said looking disgusted over the whole thing. “Working for a evil company . Just how stupid was that “ she asked Faith. Chao-Anh sat down & looked at Faith walking around . “ I liked you because of that . You trying to get to know us instead of just seeing us as tools like Buffy did. I heard she had broken away from the Council because they treated her that way & then she does the same thing to us “ Chao-Anh said giving Faith a calm look . “By the way who told you I did’t speak English because nobody ever asked me if I did . Also I don't speak Chinshe . I speak English & Cantonese so I like to know “ she said looking curious .

Chao-Anh started blushing at what Faith said “ How do you know what way I swing “ she said still blushing . “ But if even if I did you not my type “ she said the last part very quite but still loud enough for Faith to hear .

“Chloe told me I should talk to you or have her translate for me to you “ Chao-Anh said softy looking guilty over not talking to Faith.

Chao-Anh lets out a big sigh “ I sorry for how I felt about you but I really disliked Buffy & her followers & I thought you were one too so I didn't talk to you. Chao-Anh stood up “ There two reasons beside that I disliked you but I put them behind me since we away from them ok “ she said taking Faith hand .

“But if Buffy or any of her followers show up in L.A. then you never see me again because then I leave & never come back “ Chao-Anh said still holding Faith hand in he own.
 
Faith left Chao-Ahn in the back room, glad they had cleared the air between them, & headed into the small kitchen. After liberating a beer from the fridge she
wandered back into the main part of the office.
Isabella was there on her own just staring into space. She didn't really feel comfortable around the strange woman so did an about face & quietly left her to it.
She saw Spike smoking near an open window, completely ignoring the big 'No Smoking' sign on the door. He smirked when she looked from the sign to his smoke.

"Where's the boss?"

He pointed his cigarette at the window & nodded towards the roof.
As she started to climb out of the wind out onto the fire escape he held out his packet of smokes & nodded at her beer.

"Wanna swap?"

She looked at him, then down at the packet

"Nah, gave up!"

She carried on out the window before she could change her mind. She had only quit because Buffy had whinged at her so much about it. There was nothing stopping
her now of course but she did actually feel much better now she had been off them for a couple of months, but the craving was still there.

"You going to have a cosy chat with the new boss huh?" Spike called after her.

She stuck her head back in the window to see him flick ash onto the floor with a smirk.

"You feelin left out? You can come too if you like. I've heard the morning sun can do wonders for a pale compexion like yours...."

Faith grinned as he scoweled at her.
She climbed up onto the roof to find Gunn staring off towards where the Sun was about to rise.
Normally you would be able to see the first glow of morning on the horizon, but here in LA the lights of the City lit up the sky even at night....besides the horizon
here was just a few City blocks away....towering blocks of steel & glass reaching for the sky in all directions.
Faith found herself missing the quiet darkness of a Sunnydale Cemetary, and an abundance of Vampires to kill, and of a certain.......
Faith killed that thought with a deep sigh.
She stood next to Gunn on the roof & watched the City move beneath them.

"Couldn't sleep?" He said without looking towards her

"Nah! Sleep is for normal boring folk...."

They stood in silence as the first tiny sliver of the Sun peeked over the tops of the buildings

"So", she said finally. "Day one was fun......what's next?"
 
He heard Faith coming, as the morning light began to slowly filter through the cityscape.

"...Whats next?"

"Good question... thinking maybe breakfast." He said with a wry smile. The battle had left him a little sore, and more then a little famished.

"You probably meant whats next for the crew?"He responded after a moment. He turned to Faith, standing up from the slouched position he'd been in for while.

"Well there's a Nogre demon nest I heard about through the demon grapevine, I held off before, because I didn't figure on having this much fire power. Nasty customers, tend to have tentacles and a mean disposition if memory serves," He said remembering the hellacious battle he'd had with one years back.

"But I need to find Mrs. Chu, and Isabella isn't exactly forthcoming about why that white haired frenchman was all 'murderery' about." Gunn said concerned about his old friend. Mrs Chu hadn't called, and given the vampire horde they'd faced that night, he was worried

He could see the note of concern on Faith's face when he mentioned his magical friend.

"She's something else... isn't she? She comes and goes as she will, and I worry she might lose herself in all that power she has... Still I'm glad she showed when she did though, I'm not a huge fan of being fried by mystical energy." Gunn said as he began to retreat back to fire escape and the office with Faith in tow.

"And before you ask, she and I are just..." He stopped himself short, realizing he wasn't entirely certain what their relationship was.

"Hmm, I'll get back to you on that." Gunn finished as he entered the office finally through the window. He took a look at room where'd he left Isabella, but saw the room was vacant. Had she left again? He wasn't entirely surprised.

"Something's coming for us... I don't plan on waiting for it." He said to Cho Ahn and Spike.

"Spike, the basement might suit you, theirs a mattress down there, and it's got no sun... so a plus all around. Get some rest."

Faith, you and Cho Ahn feel like taking on a beastie?" Gunn offered up as he leaned up against the desk.
 
Cha-Ahn had been following Faith so heard what Gunn said. She was a bit anoyed at Gunn for not saying why Miss Chu didnt like her since she haddn’t since she came to LA left China town so its not like she haddn't been procting the people there .



She shivered over hearing the world tentacles since she has heard a number of horror stories about girls being attacked by monsters with tentacles but she knew that it was just a Asian thing so didnt say anything . But she did think about how she was going to get her things without having someone following her around .



Cha- Ahn shook her head “ I don't like Witches “ she said softy .”Look what Willow did & who she listened to “ she said in a whisper to Faith . Her feelings toward Willow had went bad seeing her be all girlfriend with Kennedy . That & the fact after Kennedy had driven Chloe to kill her self had still gone out with her. And from what Andrew had said tried to destroy the word because her girlfriend had been shot . Which meant she had big problems .





“So you dont know that much about Isabella, but we still supposed to trust her & you for hsving her ? “ Cha- Ahn said carrying something behind her back . “Just how long have you know her “ she asked Gunn as she walked beside him puzzled .



Cha- Ahn dropped off beside Spike the six pack of beer she had been carying with her with a wink to him before looking at Gunn .



“Sounds good but I need something bigger then my knives . I so not going to get close enough to give them a chance to do something you see in tentacle henta “ she told him .



“And like I told Faith I telling you “ Cha-Ahn said . “You tell Saint Buffy or her friends where I am I so out of this city ok “ she said to him in a firm voice .



“Not that I can leave LA anyway “ she thought to her self . “ Eve my contact to the PTB & since she said she hidding from people who want to use her that last thing I going to do is expose her like that . I really need to talk to her as soon as I can get someplace alone so we can talk “ Cha -Ahn thought before looking back at Gunn waiting for his reply.
 
"You and Cho Ahn feel like taking on a beastie?"

Faith grinned. "Hell yeah! Sounds like a hoot!"

A thought struck her & she paused for a moment.

"Nogre Demon...loads of tentacles? I'm sure Wes went off on one of his boring speeches about them back in SunnyD....."

At Gunn's enquiring look she shrugged.

"Sorry, I tuned out after 'Facinating creatures'...."

Gunn gave her a strange look before starting looking for something on his desk.
Faith hesitated for a moment, not sure if she should say what was on her mind, but the restraint only lasted a moment....

"You sure we can trust this Isabella chick? I ain't a big fan of magic....don't like things I can't fight....."

She looked down at her boots.

"Look I know she hauled our asses outta the fire back there, but she wouldn't have needed to if that other dude hadn't been using magic too......
just think we'd all be better off without any of it?"

Gunn started to speak but Faith held up her hand's to stop him.

"I know it ain't my call...you're the boss & you trust her.....I'm just sayin my piece...."

She sighed heavily & flopped down in the chair by the door.

"Jus don't like magic that's all!" She mumbled.

After a moments silence she noticed Chao-Ahn standing by the door. She didn't say anything & her face gave nothing away.
Remind me never to play poker against this chick, the thought with a wry smile.
Faith knew she had followed her up onto the roof. She couldn't sense her like she could Buffy, but even a Slayer couldn't climb that old iron fire escape
without making some noise. She grinned up at the younger Slayer

"What do you say 'C'.....wanna go make some Demon sushi?"
 
“So you don't know that much about Isabella, but we still supposed to trust her & you for having her? ...“Just how long have you knownher"

Gunn could feel the two slayers for all their differences had the same fears and reservations. It was odd, he felt at peace with Isabella, even for all her strangness.

"A year or so... but she's always been on the side of good... or close enough. Besides I'm a good judge o' character, I mean I like you two don't I?" He said shooting a sarcastic smile at the two supernatural killers.

"I know it ain't my call...you're the boss & you trust her.....I'm just sayin' my piece...."

"Hey don't read me wrong here, I don't have all the answers... I'll I know is that when the fire and brimstone start bringing the pain it's nice to have someone that can punch back. Besides, I don't trust her, and you shouldn't either." He said aloud realizing that it sounded bad.

He stood and walked towards the wall and pulled a small pushpin and it's picture of the suspected Nogre demon. He knew the revelation that he didn't trust her

"She's got power, and not the shiny and kind stuff... scary and 'creepifying', and it's not beyond the possibility that she has me on some sort of mojo that could be affecting my judgement. That's why I need you guys to be on your toes, you get wind she's up to something we can handle it... as a team." He said as he walked over to Cho Ahn and handed her the polaroid.

"And Faith...I appreciate the confidence in me." Gun said as he retrieved a well balanced short sword and tossed it to the brunette slayer.

But truth be told, I' m more then a little unsure of this whole "boss" thing. He said in his mind.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"You guys expecting..." he started then stopped realizing that neither of them had been there very long.

He went to the door and paused as he saw the figure in the frosted glass.

"Delivery for a Miss Cho... um.. Cho Ahn Sla-ter?

Gunn opened the door to see an ordinary delivery person wearing brown shorts and a hat that said "United Postage", He presented a small package to Gunn.

"You um.. don't look like a Cho Ahn." the delivery person said doubtfully as he presented a small digital device for a signature.

"I get that alot." Gunn said with frown as he signed for the package and took delivery as the man tipped his cap. "Have a nice day!" the man said as he turned to leave.

Gunn looked the box over, noticing the address was a PO box downtown.

"Looks like it's for you." Gunn said slightly worried as he handed the package to the young woman.
 
Slayer Central (somewhere in Scotland)

"You sure you don't want to come with, it could be nice to see them all again, I mean you didn't meet Gunn and Fred but Wesley has changed a lot, I think you'd like him now he isn't the stuffy watcher he once was, and after everything that happened with Spike?" Willow asked Buffy casually.
"No I can't see Spike yet, not after everything. Plus I have so much work to do here training up the new slayers and making sure Xander doesn't lose his other eye, and I'm pretty sure Dawn wouldn't want me leaving her right now. Go, have fun. Well the most fun you can when you're trying to save the world from evil forces."
"I'll be back before you know it. And maybe even find a way to cure Dawn while I'm at it."
With that Willow picked up her suitcase and teleported to Los Angelus hoping to warn team Angel of what she can feel coming and lend a helping hand.

Los Angelus, Gunn's head courters.
Willow landed in a small office near downtown LA. She felt like she had just landed in a 1950s crime novel, the place was lovely! Definitely somewhere she would fancy working, even if it's just for a little while.
She looked around the room, Gunn, Faith and Cho Ahn? She was definitely not expecting to see her again. After destroying the hellmouth Cho Ahn had gone off the radar, none of the slayers could find her. Giles was incredibly worried.
"Umm hi guys, sorry to be the barer of bad news but yeah, bad news. But before all that where's Fred and Wesley?" She said with a smile, she was kind of hoping that maybe this time something could happen between her a Fred now that she had broken up with Kennedy.
 
Cho-Ahn nodded her head “ I eager to get into going after that once I get a good sword of Ax since I in no way am getting lose enough to let it get it tentacles on me “ she said knowing that it would want to play with her & no way was she going to get that close just to help out people she had just met a few hours ago . She didn't't say anything more since she was looking at the picture . Then seeing Faith getting a sword went over & grabbed a ax with a long handle since the sword she was wearing was pretty short & she didn’t want to us it . “Now how do I get hold of Eve without dragging her to them “ she thought to her self not wanting to risk Eve who had been helping her out the last few months unlike Gunn & his “ crew “ as she knew he like to call it . And Faith she didn't’t trust that much since she had said they were good but according to Andrew she was the Dark Slayer so she need to prove herself first . “I wonder if the reason Gunn trust his witch is because she cast a spell on him “ she then thought .



Cho-Ahn then got a smirk on her face when she heard there was a package for her .
“ knew Eve wouldn't’t let me down” she thought feeling a little guilty over doubting her but liking how Gunn was puzzled over what was happing . “Sounds like you don't know what going on “ she said as she took the package from Gunn . “ I thought you knew what was going down “ she said putting the ax down & opening the package finding a letter in there as well a cell phone . She stuffed both of them into her pockets wanting to look at them later when she was alone . “Ready to go “she said picking up her ax again .




Cho-Ahn eyes went wide with shock on seeing Willow “ You set me up !!! “ she yelled at Gunn in Cantonese before heading for the nearest window looking to get out.
 
Cordelia: ***walking around in LA***. Everything look same, i miss beeen here and sunnydale.
 
Cordelia walk around and saw a peoples walking around and going to home and feel happy and excited and glad and grateful to be back in LA. The Weather was warm and Cool. Cordelia look at her reflection at mirror of tall, slim, long black hair and no scar on her body.
 
Cordelia: i still have a vision, hope Jasmine and Twilight dont know im here and i escaped from them. I need to get rid of them. Maybe Angel and gangs and buffy and scoobies to help me to killed and destroy them.
 
“Sounds like you don't know what going on..."

"You'd be surprised how often that's true..." Gunn quipped back, giving the girl some space to open her package. He was curious, but it was Cho Ahn's and he wasn't in the business of poking into others affairs without an invitation. It was true that he wasn't always aware of what was going on behind the scenes, he did his best to stay in the know, but Gunn wasn't overly concerned with what he didn't know.

"I don't worry much about what the enemies going to do to me... I want them worried about what were going to do to them. Heard it in an old war movie, maybe sometime-" Gunn stopped as he saw a figure behind the frosted glass.

The door opened again,

"Another delivery, man you guys are working overtime tod-" Gunn turned to see a red haired woman with a bag and the look of someone looking for a familiar face.

"Is that...." Gunn got up with a startled expression on his face, unusual even for him.

"Umm hi guys, sorry to be the barer of bad news but yeah, bad news. But before all that where's Fred and Wesley?"

"Willow..." Gunn finished with an expression of warmth and happy welcome. She didn't know... and hearing Fred's and Wesley's names hit him with a wave of grief that he didn't expect. He saw Wes stabbing him, and he saw the cold barren eyes of Illyria staring through him in the cold darkness of his mind. He was going to have to tell her, he was going to have to think about the loss again. How could he just say the truth without reducing it down to the simple yet painful fact that two heroes, two champions were no more?

He considered giving the woman a hug, but before he could move, Cho Ahn moved with super human speed to the window, like a caged animal ready to bolt.

"You set me up !!!"

"Whoa... whoa... Cho Ahn, calm down! Ain't no setup here, this is Willow, one of the good guys. Helped us out when we were in a seriously bad way. I don't know what's got you spooked, but she's a friend from the way back." Gunn shot a look to Faith curious as to why the other slayer would react so strongly.

"I take it you've already met ... Cho Ahn" He pronounced aloud as he realized that there had to be some sort of history between the redheaded wonder and the newest slayer in his midst.

"Looks like we need to talk." Gunn said plainly as he pulled out a chair for Willow to sit in. People seemed to take bad news better sitting down...
 
Cordelia went to the LA shop to get more clothes and shoes and buy them and went to the Hotel to stay for nights and change her clothes and went to see the Wolfram and Hort building. It look different, not same. She was so nervous to go inside, and went inside, but she try to not be nervous and hoping someone there. but she is so tried and hungry, she went back to the Hotel and order a meal and after eat a meal, and she went to bed to take a rest. Before she take a rest. She say lots of stuff happen to me, im better now, then she take a rest on her bed.
 
Then she change her clothes and put on her nightgown before she went to sleep, she write herself a note to remind of herself to don’t forget things : call Wolfram and Hart tomorrow or Angel Investigation next week or stop by in following week, Cordelia say maybe it was my Destiny or I was cursed to have this Vision then become higher beign then possessed by Jasmine, no that cant be true, im been Silly girl , then she fell sleep on hotel bed.
 
Faith had been leaning against a doorframe waiting for the others to get ready. She had grabbed a sword & that was all she needed, now she just wanted to get going.
Her agitation was further increased when a delivery turned up that seemed to be for Chao-Ahn. Faith frowned, wondering how anyone knew to send something here
for her being as they had only brought her back here a couple of hours before.....but she didn't say anything, even though something didn't feel right.
She did her best to look like she wasn't interested, but managed to see the cell phone & sheet of paper that the younger Slayer quickly stashed in her pocket.
She figured she would ask about them later.....
Finally, she thought as everyone looked like they were ready to go.

Without warning the office door opened & a familiar figure walked in.

The moment she saw Willow Chao-Ahn yelled something Faith didn't understand, but could take a wild guess at, & headed for the window.
Faith automatically stepped between the panicked Slayer & the Redhead as both she & Gunn started calling for Chao-Ahn to calm down.

"It's okay 'C' she's not gonna take you anywhere you don't wanna go....."

She looked at Gunn wondering if he had called Willow here, but the look on his face said otherwise.
As Gunn spoke to Willow & got her to sit down Faith turned to Chao-Ahn & held out her hands.

"Chill out sister, you don't gotta go anywhere, okay. Like I said, I got your back."

She glanced over her shoulder at Willow who seemed to be confused by the young Slayers reaction.

"I still don't believe B would send Red all the way out here just to get you to go back, she's got more Slayers than she can cope with as it is......
Let's just hear what Red has to say huh? Then if it's anything about you goin back We'll tell her it ain't happening & send her packin okay?"

Still standing between the Witch & the Slayer she folded her arms across her chest & turned to hear what Willow was saying to Gunn.
 
"Looks like we need to talk." Gunn said to Willow as he pulled up a chair for her.
Willow sat down, worry consumed her. She was unsure as to what Gunn needed to talk to her about but it didn't sound good. Anytime someone wants you to sit down it is never good. And where the hell was the rest of that gang? And why did Chao-Ahn immediately try and escape through a window as soon as she saw her. This wasn't the picture perfect reunion she had in mind..

"Umm hi Cho-Ahn, I don't know what you've been told but I'm not here to kidnap you or anything, I didn't even know you were here. I didn't even know you spoke English". Clearly the slayer had been hiding things from her and the rest of the Scoobies.
Chao-Ann still looked like she was about to bolt even with Faith trying to calm her down. " You can relax I promise, I'm honestly just here to help you guys." Willow smiled and tried to seem as innocent as possible, she had no idea why Chao-Ahn was so scared of her.
She turned to Gunn, his face was a mixture of emotions, she could tell he was deep in thought about something. "What did you want to tell me anyway?"
 
Cordelia woke up and get dress and put her shoe on and went to down to have a brunch, and she order a breakfast and went outside for walk, and walk at outside and went to have ice cream sundae and eat her ice cream sundae and went to the library. She reading a book. she was shocked that she forget to call the wolfram and Hart or Amgel Investigation.

Cordelia: Maybe they dont remember me or still think im dead. But i will try to call them or Wolfram and Hart Anyway.
 
Cho -Ahn glared at Willow " You never asked me if i spoke English . Giles tried talking to me in Chinese . I don't speak that language .
After that he swore under his breath & took me to get some ice cream which i cant have because of what it does to me " she said back .
"And their two reasons i don't like you. One your a uber -powerful witch from what Andrew said as well as seeing who never thought to use a tongues spell to talk to me . Second your girlfriend "Kennedy " caused my girlfriend Chloe to kill her self & you still went out with her not caring about anyone else . Plus from Buffy said when we found out she was dead was very cold & harsh " she told Willow before taking a deep breath . " If it wasn't world ending i would have left there & then " She said calming down. "Plus how can i trust you after you threw Buffy out for no reason . I not going to be put in that situation . That why i was going to leave since you showed you don't care so why should i " she said looking away from Willow .

Cho - Ahn pulled out the letter from her pocket & read it . It was from Eve like she thought " She didn't forget about me " she thought with a smile . It said she knew she had joined with some other people so this would be a easy way for them to talk without them being able to follow Cho -Ahn . She was the only one who could operate it, hear it ring, or make a call. There was some more stuff on there that was just personal between the two of then. Cho Ahn smile got wider as she took the old fashion match taped to the letter & lighting it on fire watched it burn .
"She thinks of everything " she thought with a giggle.
