The Return
Part B
AirportGiles stood in the small airport looking around. He knew he will be in a peculiar position with the tribe as Jenny's "boyfriend..." and being unexpected. The airport is small primitive and reminded him of the small airports of the 1960's. Buffy was looking around distracted hoping the Angel's casket was transferred to the small plane that brought them to this tiny airport. He didn't want them to know he knew the language so he avoided looking at Karl who had walked up annoyed his daughter wasn't alone.
Karl Cavendash walked up to see his daughter with a man? ~ Janna? ~ He looked disapprovingly at Buffy and Giles. Her man has a child and one who dresses inappropriately!
Jenny looked at her father guessing at his disapproval. ~ they're here to help us father ~
Karl looked at him, neither looked very impressive although the girl was pretty in an American skinny sort of way. ~ you told outsiders of our plight? ~
Jenny sighed. ~ Father, we need help, and they can give it, only the man will stay the girl shall be elsewhere. ~
A customs man walked up and handed Buffy an envelope. "I am sorry about your loss…" he told her in broken English. Buffy looked down and saw it was a release for a dead body and the ticket for a casket on the flight- Angel.
Buffy smiled and hugged the ticket to her. "Mmmm I got to go get something. I'll catch up to you both later, ring me if you need me... We have a room at the hotel." Giles nodded and Buffy walked away as Karl led them to the van.
Jenny was exasperated with her fathers attitude and rudeness. ~ Father will you at least talk to him?~
Karl opened the door looking at his black sheep child. Figure she would bring a lover home to watch the family being destroyed. ~ Why should I talk to him? What is he to me?" Giles climbed into the van and shifted in his seat uncomfortably.
Jenny snapped at her father. ~ Someone that can save you life, and the man I share my life with."Before Karl can respond Giles decided to take it out of her hands. ~ I am the man your daughter loves... It may be a lot in the future. ~
Karl twisted on the leather seat to look at him. ~ You speak Romanian? ~ Giles just nodded. Karl frowned first at Giles, then broke into a big grin. ~ Leave it to Janna to come home with a man with surprises! ~ She smiled at him.
Giles nodded acceptance. ~ I am a long-term student of the Occult and I am a specialist in Vampires. ~ Karl silently nodded accepting the new man. Jenny was pleased.
the motel
Buffy arrived in the hotel room which was old European. She had been shown the shared bathroom and then to the large room with one bed. The room was full of well used antiques and she realized here this was what was used, not for affect. The bus boys annoyingly dropped the casket, thinking she was far to extravagant to be dragging a dead body up a flight of stairs. She paid them a healthy tip and they withdrew making snotty comments in Romanian of another American with a Dracula fetish.She went about the room making it sunproof as Angelus opened the casket. He was irritable and restless after the long shipment and confinement. "Is it clear to get out?"
She smiled at him all rumpled and fussed. "Yes, morning to you too."
Angel extracted his long body from the casket and stretched. "Oh god it is midnight to me. I hate shipping myself that way... it makes me feel so..." He shuddered and looked at his watch only to notice he didn't rest the time and it told him the time: in California.
Buffy went and sat by him on the bed her hand on his arm with concern in her eyes. "I hate seeing you in there, you OK?""Yeah. I just dislike being shipped and checked as a dead body." He rubbed his eyes.
Buffy noticed a marks on the alabaster white skin. It looked like small pin pricks under his eye. "What's that?" she asked gently her hand coming to stroke his cheek softly.
"Customs. To prove to non-medical personnel the body is truly a dead body... they often insert a 3 inch pin into the eye socket, to see if there is any nervous response. Even a comatose person will make some response to that trick... I got checked.. twice"
Buffy felt her tummy flip she had been light headed and tired as of late, but this made her absolutely green. "Oh god. Angel.... you poor thing.." she bent down and kissed his offended eye softly.
"Sorry.. let me relax a bit will you? I had being shipped as cargo I am such at anyone's whim." He took a deep breath he didn't need and tried to change the subject. " I want to take you out tonight while we wait for Jenny and Giles to scope the tribe and the situation." The thought of helping the Gypsies made him growl.She stayed by him on the bed enjoying in company. "I'd like that. Angel are you really all right helping them?"
Angel sighed and looked at her. "Really? NO. Their whole reason to curse me with my soul was to make my life an unending hell.. and it worked... for over 100 years. Now I am supposed to bail them out of a problem they asked for?"
She bit her lip. "But your doing it.. your doing it for me aren’t you. You're still helping them."
Angel relaxed to her gentle massage. "Yeah, I know the pack. I know the damage they can do. I should know, I taught them." Angel leaned sideways until he was laying on the bed his head in her lap as she gently stroked and petted him "The people alive now, that are dying now, had nothing to do with the tribe that existed when I ran the pack."
Buffy smiled. "I'm glad you know that.. will you be able to stop them?"
"By myself? Maybe. I used to run the pack and I could possible stop them with just that, or I could fight for rulership and end it that way. With you at my side I could fight them all and wipe it out if that’s what it takes. We will have to see what Giles comes up with."
"Does the pack know about your curse?" she asked softly still keeping up the contact soothing him. "So Angelus will fight them?"
"No, no one knew I was cursed. When I was cursed, I lost it. I went back to the catacombs grabbed some clothes , money and split. I left Europe and went to the New World. None of them knew what happened to me. As for Angelus, I don't think… I don't know if he will Buffy. This was his family, some were his lovers. I don't know if he will fight them at all, especially not for the gypsies."
"Lovers?" she raised eyebrow, jealousy in her voice.
"Yeah. Buffy, Angelus was around for over 150 years. He had lovers..."
She avoided his eyes so he couldn't see the jealously in her eyes. "Well, Angel, I'm afraid we may need him, you're a great fighter, but..." She trailed off leaving the obvious unsaid. Angelus was the real fighter.
"Against Angelus, I am a wuss, yeah I know. But I am sure he sure as hell won't do it for the gypsies... but I know who he will do it for; you."
She sighed and nodded, "You're right... I hate asking him to do things he hates though, it's like asking you to kill in cold blood."
"I know you do, but he is easier about the cold blood part. Do you want to know which were lovers, or do you not want to know?" He was looking away feeling uncomfortable.
"Yeah as much as I hate it, I get the feeling I should know who his lovers were, else they may throw it in my face to put me off the fight." She smiled wanly and kissed his forehead softly.
"Antonia, the probable leader now, she was always a pushy bitch. And Dominique..." Angel said softly. The occasional trysts were going unsaid. They both knew vampires had the sexual promiscuity of a cat in heat.
"So Antonia was a bitch. Dominique, what is she like?" she asked trying to stay impersonal.
"HE is the tall gentle blonde..." Angel answered drifting off knowing this wasn't going to go over well.
"HE?"
"Yeah. HE. He, Dominique, or also known as Dominic. Oh is this payback for me finally? Angelus never bothered to tell you he is bisexual?" Angelus stomach turned wondering if she would flip out on him.
She looked at him a little pale. "You're?" She was not even able to voice it. Unable to take it in she just shook her head.
"NO I'm straight, I like my women, actually my woman. Angelus is Bisexual. He swings either way." Angel was wishing he was on the surface of the sun. Anywhere but here, explaining vampiric sexuality to a near virgin. "Well it is a mute point now... he is bonded to you."
"Angelus..... oh my god..... oh ewww, he never told me.. hate it when you two keep things from me. I'll have to talk to him about this when I ask him for help, but you're right it doesn't matter. Well, you're going to have to start telling me more." She didn't know if she wanted to throw up or cry.
"Buffy... I am 254 years old. I am two distinct personalities, with two separate lives for 150+ years and 100 year receptively. There is always going to be something I "didn't" tell you just simply because it never came up before. When your as long lived as I am you learn to live by an association memory. I will tell you stuff as it comes up, but I am not going to go into some kind of confession mode. It will be too long. I mean some will not make any sense. Do you really care that I know how to make Panache in the Basque style? But if we are in the Basque region of France and it becomes useful... then I'll tell you... as an example.." he knew he was flailing in the wind but the look of pain in her eyes was more than he wanted to deal with.
"No, I guess you're right, as long as I know most of the important stuff it's all right, and I don't want to know half the stuff Angelus did." She kissed him quickly to hid her pain. Or so she thought
"Hell *I* don't want to know half the stuff Angelus did. I just get the memories of doing it." he kissed her back. "Lets sleep baby, we have a long night ahead of us."
"Speaking of Angelus, I better get this over with, can you kick him out here, sometime soon?" she asked as she was moving so she was laying with him, head on his chest. "The longer he has to think about this the better."
"I'll try... he is going to be pissed... he has been fuming since we left" angel said softly as he stroked her shoulder. Angel dropped his head back and called to Angelus -*Angelus...*
Angelus snarled deep in the recesses of his mind. *What choirboy?* he snarled.
Angel just sighed and stated the obvious. Angelus would have known. *Buffy wants you*Angelus snarled back fury in his every word. *I just bet... she wants to play with Gypsies, she can do it... without me!*
Angelus snarled back at the demon teeming inside of him. *You want her to go after the pack alone... without your back up? You want out of the bonding that much?*
*Fuck you choir boy.* Bastard fought dirty. As he opened his eyes Angelus felt her head on his chest. "I can't believe you dragged me back here..."
She was gently stroking his chest attempting a soothing manner. "I'm sorry but we had no choice about it... we need you for this.."
"Am I your extermination service now? Am I supposed to kill my friends for your watcher's damned gypsies?"
"NO!" She sat up pulling away from him feeling hurt, and guilty.
"Hell if they weren't related to my fucking watcher... they would have been wiped
out and you would never had heard anything about it..." he saw her tears and pulled her to him. "Come here baby.." Imagine him, a demon, and he couldn't stand to see his mate cry."Angelus PLEASE, I need you here, you're then only one that can stop this from happening, don't do it for the gypsies, do it for me. I honestly hate asking you to kill people that were your friends, and lovers.. but I have no choice, I can't beat them alone and neither can Angel, we have no choice." She looked at him with sad eyes as she moved to his side cupping his cheek.
He was confused then stared at her in shock. "Who told you about the lovers? Well I'll be dammed, Choir boy finally zinged me back!"
Buffy stroked him. "Angel, told me all about them. Did he say all or do you have some secrets hidden there still? Hmmm?"
"ALL? " he was amazed she was hugging him instead of staking him. "secrets, probably. but you get the gift of discovery." He gave her is wry smile, " I will help under one condition." He looked at her and she nodded for him to continue. This was more than she hopped for. "I am allowed Dominic the right to leave.untouched if he agrees to the terms."
Jealously flared in her. "Why Dominic?"
"I'd rather not get into it..." he looked a the look in her eyes ands knew a look of the slayer no vampire or demon in his right mind would cross. "Your going to make me aren't you?"
Feeling jealousy running through her body she nodded. "Yeah I am"
"Dom was the closest thing to a friend I have ever had. He was always there for me... He was always the back up I needed. A friend a companion far beyond Dru and Spike. Even better than Darla. Drusilla was an obsession in the destruction of purity. Spike was example of what lust can do to you... neither were ever friends... they were childer. When Antonia was being a bitch Dom was always supportive."
Buffy frowned trying to think of a vampire without a soul as a friend. "Poor Dru, this Dom, how evil is he?"
"Dom... Believe it or not, he is as far from evil as you could get. My terms: he leaves. Doesn't assist anyone, just leaves and doesn't look back. That is all the conditions I will place. Dom and I used to have philosophical arguments of good versus evil. Imagine that, and now I learn he was right…"
Buffy nodded slowly, knowing this meant a lot to him. She looked him in the eye. "All right, it's a deal, I'll say I never even saw him if asked, or he was staked, I know you want this so I'll give it to you.. it's such a small thing." She gave him a small smile and kissed his cheek and lays back down listening.
"NO... no need to lie. Just that he gets away and leaves the area. Dom is a cold feeder, always has been. He doesn't hunt human. If he has to kill he feeds off the animals. He tends to have pets; humans he watches and involves himself with, like personal soap opera."
She nodded pleased with what she was hearing. "In that case it'll be easier for me to let him go. All right, you should know, you only have to ask and somethings yours." She snuggled against him. "Angelus, you sure about this, we can try it another way if you wish... "
"Try what another way?" She realized he really is distracted with being there, he is clueless "I know what is going to happen Buffy. Jenny and Giles are going to get involved and we are going to get called in to rescue them. The pack is going for extermination... and to really demoralize you capture and hold hostages and kill them slowly while the others sweat. So they will be picking the tribe off and holding them in the pens in the catacombs..."
it made her blood crawl; to hear him speak so matter of factly of terrorizing. She had to remember this was Angelus, he would do and had done it. "So we'll take them out there, you remember the way around there? Angelus, if they don't know about the curse, they won't expect you to attack?"
"I should... I planned it... I ran the pack when they set up in the catacombs. I made the rules and I made the layout. They shouldn't have a clue although Antonia will be a bit miffed at me waltzing in." Angelus snuggle din the bed settling her in his strong arms. "But as much as I would love to ravish you, we will need out sleep and our power. I know we will have to come up with a plan, and I plan to work on that while sleeping..." He purred as he snuggled her into him closely.
She relaxed into his cool embrace. "Thank you Angelus."
"Anytime Slayer."
