What happens now?: Surprise!
by angelzladee
"So this bloke has been after you for god knows how many years, he has a connection with the military and you didn't even begin to think that it is possible that it could have been him who orchestrated this whole thing" Buffy yelled at Mulder and Scully clearly scaring the pair of them. She turned to Angel who was still holding Riley. "Have you got anywhere we could keep him so he stays out of trouble?" she asked him looking at him pleadingly, but still with that dangerous glint in her eye. He thought for a moment then said, "I know just the place!" and dragged Riley down and locked him in the cage in the basement. "So, what is this smoking guys name, maybe we could have Willow look him up on the net." Buffy started again. Upon hearing her name and the word net she automatically pulled her laptop out of her bag and started tapping away at the keyboard. Mulder laughed at her. "Buffy if we knew his name do you not think we would have done that already?" Scully stepped in front of Mulder and glared at him. "What Mulder is trying to say is that this man is so powerful no-one needs to know his name, they just take orders from him" Buffy gave a considerate nod to Scully, glared at Mulder then went to tell Willow what they knew about their mysterious smoking man.

Angel came back upstairs shortly after. Buffy went up to him and gave him a quick kiss, well I say quick it would have been ,longer but Giles interrupted by announcing he had some news concerning the other slayers they had awoken. "It would appear that there are more slayers ten there are watchers left in the world, so I have been told to continue to round them up and keep them as safe as possible, we may have defeated the first, but there is still evil out there and it needs to be stopped!" after this speech Giles retired to his bedroom and slept uneasily, he couldn't work out exactly what it was that was bothering him but he knew that it wasn't good. Buffy went to bed with the same felling but she shook it of as pre wedding nerves, she new that wasn't it but she didn't want to have to stop being happy yet. Especially if it included slaying, her life was just how she wanted it at that moment in time, and she wanted it stay that way, for at least a week anyway.

When Angel woke in he morning Buffy was not beside him where she had been when he had fallen asleep. 'She must be downstairs already' he though looking at the cock and seeing in was already quite late, well late for her anyway. But when he went downstairs and she wasn't in the lobby eating breakfast in her normal seat he bean to panic. He searched the other rooms downstairs and all the rooms upstairs but their was no sign of her. But when he went down to the basement he was struck with dismay. The door to the cage was wide open, the lock was broken and there was a crow bar on the floor by the cage. "Damn!" he yelled and headed upstairs. "Giles!" he yelled as loudly as he could. "No need to shout, I'm only he...what is it Angel, are you ok?" his face fell. He knew that when Angel got worried that it always involved Buffy. "Riley! he's one and he's taken Buffy with him!" Giles took a deep breath. "This is terribly important Angel are you sure she isn't just visiting one of the other girls in another room. Angel lost his temper. "I just spent the past three hours going through his hotel with a fine tooth comb looking for her, do you think there is even the remotest chance that I have missed her?" Giles looked ashamed, he should have known that if Angel said his Buffy was gone then she was gone. But would Riley really try to take on a slayer on his own?

Angel and Gunn had been searching for over three hours but without luck. Angel was beginning to get really worried for her. I t was only now that he realised exactly how much he loved her. Meanwhile on the other side of town Buffy was crouched in a tiny room without windows, a single solid steel door and a tiny air vent on the south wall. She had already tried to bash down the door at least twenty times and her hips and legs were bleeding due to the impact. What did he want with her? How did he manage to get her here with no struggle? These an a lot more questions ran through her mind. But one just kept resurfacing over and over again. 'Did her Angel know that she hadn't gone willingly?' she couldn't bear the fact that he might think that she had chosen to leave him and go with Riley. "I didn't I swear, I swear I'm always yours!" she said into the dark fooling herself that he could here her. "Now ain't that sweet!" Riley slimed from the doorway. "Strange, don't you think, that he hasn't come for you yet? Maybe he doesn't care about you as much as you think he does. At this she lost her temper. "What are you gonna do to me? What do you think you can possibly do to me, I'm three times as powerful as you!" Riley laughed at this. "Amazing thing modern Science" he pulled a syringe out of his tunic breast pocket. "Got his from your counsel, powerful muscle relaxant, your just as venerable as, well, me. But now for the big test." he pulled a second needle from his pocket. "This is his blood, now you see that pretty little scar that you have on your neck!" Buffy raised her hand to the scar Angel had left her. 'No, he wouldn't' panic was setting in. if he put that blood in her then she would become a vampire. "Now don't struggle this will only hurt for a while!" she did try to struggle but without her slayer strength it was no use. She felt a sharp pain in her upper arm and then all fell black.

"No, he wouldn't do that to her, I mean he loved her!" Willow protested. Gazing at Angel with wide eyes. "I felt it Will, he changed her, she isn't what she used to b...wait, something is wrong, she doesn't feel like a normal vampire. I mean there is more good in her then there is evil. A hybrid, she is a mix of human and vampire.." "And slayer, do they know that she isn't all evil?" Xander was now very worried for his best friend. "Can't tell but I know where they are?” Angel got his coat and started out of the door and Willow, Kennedy, Rhona and even Mulder and Scully followed him out. They were going to bring her back and she was going to come back alive, or as alive as they could get her.

When Buffy woke up she gasped for a few unnecessary breaths then remembered what happened. But then why did she still feel the same, she punched the wall. She had never felt so much strength. She understood now. They had given her the strength and other powers of vampires in order to try and make her on their side. But she knew that Riley realised that as long as she was with Angel she would never…oh god Angel. This time when she kicked the door down it came away from the hinges easily and that was when she sensed him Angel he was here, or nearly here. They were gonna be waiting for him she had to find him before they did or they would kill him. That didn’t take at all long as soon as she had knocked out the first six lots of security guards, he was right there, battling with the seventh. She moved in and knocked them out in a heartbeat and then turned and fell into Angel’s arms.

Unlike everyone else in the group Angel had no fear of her, he knew what had happened to her and yet he still loved her. “Just extending you the same courtesy you showed me!” he said smiling. Buffy didn’t want to ask how he knew what she was thinking she was just glad he understood. But then she realised something, “The light Angel, I can’t go outside.” Angel laughed at her. “Buffy you have a pulse you don’t crave blood, you just have a hell of a lot more strength then you did before, you’ll still be able to go shopping!” At this everyone burst into laughter, even Buffy, after giving Angel a hefty punch in the ribs which left him winded for a few minutes. "Where is it you think you are taking my girlfriend?" Everyone spun round to see Riley standing there with a high performance weapon pointed at Angel's head. Glancing backwards and forwards between Buffy and Angel. "I'm not your girlfriend I'm his. I always was!" Willow smiled. Remembering when Buffy had told Angel that she was Always going to be his girl. It had become clear to Willow that the reason none of her other relationships hadn't lasted over the past five years was because deep down she had still loved Angel. And she wasn't about to let Riley ruin that. When she finally regained her focus Riley wasn't the only one holding a gun. Mulder and Scully now had their guns on Riley trying to make him drop is weapon. Buffy turned to Willow with pleading eyes. Willow knew she had to try her magic again some day so she focused all her energy, looked Riley directly in the eyes and said, "Disarm!" The gun flew straight through the air into Willows outstretched hand. "Wow you ever felt like working for the bureau you could be a great agent. Plus you could just zap all the paperwork done!" Mulder said then he turned to Scully. "Don't you wish we could do that?" Scully nodded weakly then started back down the street. "What's with her?" Buffy asked Mulder concerned. "She just doesn't like to admit that I'm right about the supernatural."

Back at the hotel everyone was interested in what had happened to Buffy. She had gone into the kitchen to escape the girls endless questions. “Buffy, you OK” Fred was standing in the doorway, looking concerned. “What, yeah Why?” Fred motioned to Buffy’s neck. When Buffy pulled her hand away from her neck she noticed she was bleeding. “Is hat where…?” Fred started. “No…he injected the blood into my wrist…that’s where…” She grimaced at the memory of when she had forced Angel to feed from her. "I'm sorry Buffy have I said something wrong? Are you sure you'll be alright you look a little pale" Buffy smiled despite her feelings of despair, "Yeah I'm fine!" "Knock Knock...ahh there you guys are. What you doin?" Xander pooped his head round the door giving Buffy and Fred his biggest and Goofiest, big goofy grin, but at the same time he was giving Buffy his please say you forgive me eyes! Buffy loved her best friend, he had been the first person she had met on arriving in Sunnydale he had resuscitated her when she had died and now, despite his hatred of Angel he was willing to join in the celebrations of them getting married. She couldn't help but admire him for it!

"I don't know" Scully protested Staring at Mulder. "Come on Scully, you heard Angel, they want someone to help the girls with first aid and you are the most sensible candidate, come on even I'm teaching them target practice and some of the newer ones, I'm teaching them hand to hand, why don't you pitch in a lend a hand?" "Coz I'm afraid. All my life I have been brought up to believe in one thing and these girls, Angel, the magic that girl was doing. It all contradicts everything I have been told since I was a child and It scars me because there is no way that I know what can happen." Mulder was slightly take aback by this response, never in all the years that he had been working with Scully had she ever told him anything like this. "I know, but this is the only way that we can understand is to live with them, experience what they experience and talk to them." Scully stood and thought about this for a while and then smiled, "So where is this class I'm supposed to be teaching?" Mulder burst out laughing and lead her down the hallway to a small room to prepare for her class. Inside the room Willow sat on the couch. "We didn't know what you needed so I kinda have to ask you and..well...make it materialise..so what'd you need?" Scully had to think about this for a while and then said, "All depends what it is you want me to teach them?" Willow thought for a minute,” Everything that you can." "Well a clean, sterile environment, examination bench, surgical tools, refrigeration, chemicals, report forms and medical coats!" No sooner had she finished her list then Willow clicked her fingers and Dana was standing in a perfect examination room. "Um...wow..that's amazing. How...never mind thank you this is perfect." "That's O.k. I have to go know my class will be waiting, I'm teaching Magic, surprisingly, you class will be here in about five minutes, see you later" With that Willow left Dana in her medical room to prepare.
