A Sires Revenge: For My Childe

SUMMARY: Angel explains to the Fang Gang and gets closer to Alex.


After explaining to Angel what had been going on in Sunnydale for the past year, Alex felt worn out. He left Angel still sitting at the table worrying over what he had just been told. Alex went back up to the room that Spike was sleeping in. The vampire had not moved. He removed his jeans, and crawled back into the bed. When Angel came to check on his childe, he found Alex snuggled up next to the sleeping vampire, his arm thrown over Spike’s chest and his face nestled behind Spike’s ear. Angel could not believe the changes in the boy. Xander…no, Alex, had always treatim wim with disdain, acting like he hated him. It would have taken a lot to drive the youth to seek him out, to actually ask for his help and protection. He left the pair sleeping and went downstairs. There were a lot details to arrange, and he had to prepare his employees, his friends, for what was to come.

Later in Angel’s office:

“Let me see if I understand this correctly. Your childe, Spike, has a computer chip in his brain that protects humanity from him. William the Bloody can no longer murder and create mayhem wherever he goes. And you think this is a bad thing? Angel, may I ask you how you came to this conclusion?” Wesley asked incredulously.

“Well, just let me say, ANGEL, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND??? He hates you, he hates us and wants to make us into snack food. Anyway, I thought you hated him too.” Cordelia screeched.

Angel winced at the pitch of Cordy’s voice. “Cordy, I never hated William, he has always been my favorite childe. I will always feel guilty for leaving him with Darla and Drusilla. Darla made his existence hell, she hated him from the day I turned him. She was jealous and spiteful. Drusilla used him, she loved blood sport as much as Angelus.”

“Angel, I thought it was Drusilla that turned Spike. That’s what all the journals say. It is considered common knowledge.” Wesley asked.

“That’s what Spike let everyone bel. He. He didn’t want anyone to think his sire was ‘a bleedin’ souled pouf’. Dru did drain him that night, but luckily, I came into the alley as she finished with him. One of her ‘stars’ began to talk to her, and she forgot to feed him. I wanted him…had from the moment I saw him. I fed him and kept watch till he woke up. I was his Sire. Darla was furious when she found out I had made him my childe and not a minion. We’re getting distracted from the main point. Something is going very wrong in Sunnydale. From what Alex says, this group of commandos is indiscriminately picking up demons off the street. They either don’t know anything about demons, or they don’t care. They are taking harmless creatures that can’t fight back, children and elders. They are wiping out entire families. They are performing medical experiments on them. I existed during the Nazi reign; I will not sit by and let it happen again, not even to demons.

“Angel, what about the Powers? I doubt that they will look too kindly on their champion running off to rescue demons. You are here to work for them.”

“Wesley, I realize that this may not be easy. I intend to go talk to the Powers as soon as Spike is awake. But I cannot believe they will stop me from doing this. The actions of this Initiative could rally the demons to join together, then how do we fight them?” Angel just sat a moment and gathered his thoughts. “I would like you to go with me but it would be unfair not to leave the decision up to each of you. This is decision you have to make on your own. I would appreciate you helping me get ready for this though, even if you don’t join me. Alex has to be trained, I will need all the information we can gather on this group and plans have to be made for my return to Sunnydale.

“Excuse me, but just who the hell is Alex?”

“Cordy, this is going to be hardest for you, but Xander has asked to be called Alex now. He wano rno reminder of who he was in Sunnydale. That’s how angry he is, Cordelia. He feels that his friends have turned their backs on him, and that by siding with the Initiative, no longer fight for the light. You and Gunn may not understand but I am fairly certain Wesley does. By invoking the rite of protection, Alex is now a part of my family, just as Spike is. I cannot turn him away and will help them both however I can.”

“uhmm, well yes, from everything I have read about such rites, they are absolute. Do you think the boy really understands all that it could entail?”

“Truthfully, no. I think he was just so worried about Spike dying, he did the only thing he had left open to him. He has willingly sacrificed the life he had to save my childe, and he wants to go back, with me, to fight against his friends. I intend to train him as well as I can, in the short time we have.”

“Honestly Angel, it has always been a puzzle to me that Mr. Giles did not give the boy any type of training. He could have easily done some training along side the slayer. Actually, even though he is rather annoying, I have always admired Xan…Alex. He has fought against some of the fiercest enemies of the light with nothing but his resolution that he was on the right side.” Wesley admitted.

Gunn spoke up for the first time. “Angel man, I don’t know about going up against these military dudes but I’ll help with whatever training you think the boy needs. This isn’t really my fight, you know, I do this for my town and my people. I need to be here with my boys.”

“That could work out for the best, Gunn. You could stay here and work out of the hotel. We could be in contact no matter what Cordy decides. Let’s just all think about it awhile before any decisions are made. I need to check on Spike. I have to try and get him to feed again. He should be awake soon. I’m hoping he can give us information about the soldiers.” [[If my childe’s brain is still intact]] Angel could not give voice to his thoughts even to think it hurt. He left the others quietly talking about what he had just told them and went upstairs. He could hear someone talking as he got to the door of his room.

“Come on peroxide-boy, you need to wake up, nobody’s snarked at me all day. Never thought I’d say that I missed you picking on me, just isn’t the same without you putting me down. I know you’re probably going to be madder than hell at me for bring you here, but I didn’t know what else to do. Angel’s been real nice about it though. We’re going to get them, Spike. You need to get up so you can help. You can be the supervisor, okay? You tell me what to do to the s.o.b.’s and I’ll do it.” Alex looked up as Angel walked in to the room. “I just thought, you know maybe, he could hear me. Coma people can hear so I thought just maybe…” Angel put gently laid his palm on the boy’s cheek. With a small whimper, Alex turned and wrapped his arms around Angel’s waist and cried. Angel picked him up and sat down on the bed with him, rocking him gently and just letting him cry. He could feel the warm tears on his neck as Alex cried. Slowly the sobs quieted but Alex didn’t try to move. Angel lifted the damp chin with his finger and gently kissed him. Alex gave a little gasp of surprise but didn’t pull away. Angel tilted his head and kissed him again, this time with a little more pressure. He lightly ran his tongue over the full bottom lip, then sucked it gently. Alex whimpered as he opened to let Angel in. The cool tongue rubbed across his then set about devouring his mouth. Alex changed the angle and deepened the kiss, participating fully until Angel pulled away.

“You have to breathe, or I ‘d keep doing this for hours.” He smiled at the blush that crept up Alex’s face and ran one cool finger down the side of his face to his chin. Alex hid his face in Angel’s neck. “You surprise me. I thought you hated me.” He could feel the boy shake his head no.

“Never hated you, jealous maybe, but never hate.”

“Jealous because of Buffy? You had a pretty big crush on her.”

“No, not jealous of you, jealous of Buffy.” Angel pulled Alex back and stared at him. Alex tried to look away but couldn’t. “You just swooped in, all dark and powerful, never seen anything like that before. But you only saw Buffy.”

“Oh, I saw you alright, just didn’t think I should take. I was sent there to help the Slayer. What…what Buffy and I had was powerful but it was so wrong on so many different levels. We never should have gotten to the point we did, I should have stopped it.” Angel kissed the tip of Alex’s nose, then his lips. “We take this slow, alright? No quickie, no messing up, slow and easy.”

“Uh Angel? What about…well…that..you know, thathappinessclausethingie.”

“It isn’t there anymore. When Willow redid the curse she obviously got something wrong. My soul is mine, bound to my demon. I can’t lose it again. There isn’t anything stopping us from getting closer.”

“Sounds good to me.” Angeved ved the boy off his lap and stood up. “You going to try to get him to feed again?”

“”One more time, then he should wake up fine. Physically fine, I don’t know about mentally. I hope he can come back from this, Spike was always the strong one of my childer. But, believe it or not, he was also the most sensitive of them. He never quit caring. Any other vampire would have either destroyed Drusilla or deserted her, Spike took care of her for over a hundred years.”

Angel went to the other side of the bed and lay down. He gently lifted the sleeping vampire up against his chest. “If this bothers you, you can head downstairs.” He looked over at the other side of the bed where Alex sat, his eyes were dilated and his breathing ragged. His face flushed with arousal. He shifted Spike to his other side then reached out, “Come here boy.” Alex rolled over until he was lying up against Angel’s side. He laid his head down on Angel’s shoulder opposite whereke’ske’s head rested. Angel unbuttoned his shirt half way down then gently pushed Spike’s face against his neck. “Wil, you need to feed. It’s your sire’s wish, my sweet William.” Alex watched as the closed mouth opened slightly against the offered neck. God he couldn’t believe how hot it looked. With a soft murmur, Spike sank his fangs into Angel’s neck and his throat muscles started to work as he pulled the fluid into his mouth and drank. After several minutes, Angel ran his hand through Spike’s hair and said, “Enough Wil. That’s enough.” Spike licked softly at Angel’s neck and mumbled the word ‘sire’ then slipped back into sleep. Angel gently kissed Spike’s forehead and laid him back down on the bed.

Angel rolled over toward the panting boy pulling him tight against his body. Alex grabbed a handful of Angel’s hair and pulled his mouth to him. He attacked the cool mouth, biting the bottom lip then sucking it in gently. The hard bite followed by the soft suckling had Angel hard as stone and ready to explode. Alex was fumbling with the buttons on Angel’s shirt, he wanted skin, and he needed to feel his skin against Angel’s. Angel was running his hands over Alex’s shoulder and down his chest, stopping to pinch and tweak his nipples into hard points. Alex moaned and arched his hips trying to connect with Angel’s hardness.

“Please Angel, just…please…do something.” He was tossing his head, moaning and panting. “Angel, naked, now…please, need skin.” Angel pulled back long enough to get his shirt off then pulled Alex under him. Alex parted his legs so that Angel settled between them, their erections rubbing together. He raised his head and nipped at spot where Angel’s neck met his shoulders, then licked down his chest and latched onto a hardened nipple. Angel growled when he felt the blunt teeth bite down and rocked their hips together harder. “God, Angel…more…please… everything, want you now.”

Angel growled, “We were going to go slow, take some time….”

“Fuck slow, fuck easy. Better yet, fuck me…Now!” Alex groaned when Angel pulled back from him. He could not believe he was stopping.

“No, I’m not going to fuck you, yet. There are things we have to talk about, things about the ritund ynd you. But right now is not the time and there’s other things we can do.” Angel arched his back so that their straining cocks were rubbing against each other. He pulled back far enough to unfasten Alex’s jeans and pull them off. Angel sat back on his heels and stared at the boy spread wantonly in front of him. His engorged cock was lying against his stomach like an offering waiting for Angel to take it and do whatever he wanted to. He ran one finger along the vein on the underside of Alex’s hard cock and smiled when it jumped at his touch. He ran the finger gently across the hot, plum shaped head, spreading the dripping pre-cum around. He was fascinated with the ridge of scar tissue at the base of the head and ran his fingertip around the edge. Alex began whimpering, moaning for Angel to do something. He did, he leaned down and licked straight up the offering, treating it like an all day sucker.

“Annggeel, please…naked you… now, please?” Angel was very thankful he had a large bed. He didn’t want to leave his childe alone but he wanted this boy with him…now. Alex watched with bright, passion glazed eyes as Angel stood up and took his clothes off. He crawled up the bed, up Alex’s writhing body, nipping and sucking as he went. His tongue unerringly found the boy’s naval and began to slowly lick around the edge of it. He began to flick his tongue in and out then bit down across the tempting dip. Alex arched up off of the bed with a load groan. He continued his journey up the enticing body, lapping and suckling on first one tiny brown nipple then the other. He worried one with the blunt edge of is teeth and Alex screamed. Damn, the boy’s nipples were sensitive; he could probably bring him off just playing with them. He moved up the shuddering body until he could grab the back of Alex’s head and bring their mouths together. It felt incredible sinking his tongue into the hot, moist opening. He was so hot, Angel felt like he had sunk his tongue into a fire. He was losing control and his eyes began to flicker between brown and gold. Alex reached up and caressed Angel’s face. “Let it go. I know what you are and accept it. Just let it go.” His face changed, his true face coming out, his fangs resting against Alex’s bottom lip. The boy reached up and ran a loving hand over the wrinkled forehead and Angel shuddered. He gently kissed them, then ran his tongue across them. Angel grabbed him by the hair and brought their mouths violently together, plundering the warm cavern. Alex was a full participant in this and was using his tongue to map Angel’s cool mouth. When he came to one of the pointed canines, he very gently ran his tongue up and down against it, then gently sucked on it. The response was immediate; Angel howled and brought their erections together, grabbing Alex’s hips and pulling to bring them into full contact. He worked a hand betweeem aem and held the two straining organs together as hips thrust up and hard dick rubbed against hard dick. They couldn’t last much longer; the contact was too intense. Alex ran his tongue over the other fang then sucked as hard as he could. Angel threw back his head and roared, shooting cool fluid between their bodies. The feeling of Angel coming was too much for the boy and it sent Alex over the edge. He latched on to Angel’s mouth as he came, letting Angel swallow his yell of completion. The two men collapsed on the bed and just held each other, shuddering at the intensity of what just happened.

Angel recovered first, getting up and going to the bathroom to clean himself up. He brought a warm wet cloth back and gently cleaned Alex. He threw the towel on the floor next to the bed. Pulling the covers up over Alex, he then crawled in next to him. The boy wiggled until he was snuggled up to the vampire, his back to Angel’s front. “That was incredible, Angel. But why wouldn’t you fuck me?”

“We will talk about it tomorrow. It has to do with the ritual, once blood or sex seals it, it’s forever. Now go to sleep for awhile. You’re going to need your rest. You start training with Gunn tomorrow.”

“Okay, sleep is of the good, more sleep. Food later?”

Angel smiled and gently kissed the back of the drowsy boy’s neck, “Yes sweet, sleep now, food later.” He looked back and forth at the two sleeping in his bed and hoped he would get the chance to bring his childe back into his life. That would make him complete. It felt like coming home to be sharing his bed again with his loves. There was no more lying to himself, he loved this dark haired boy as much as he loved his childe.
