Destiny VS An Angel's Love

5 – 1ST CONTACT

Everyone stands still for a couple of seconds until Spike that walks around her amazed breaks silence.

“Uau… how can they look so small and be so big!” Her only response is to make a wave like movement from her left shoulder to her right, shaking her body a bit. Spikes jaw drops.

“What?” Gunn asks.

“They are gone!” Spike says going around facing her. “Ok …this is the part where I would ask you to marry me but you would probably say no… ‘cause we do not know each other, something I’m hoping we can change!” Spike says in his normal witty humour. She lets out a loud laugh taking everyone off guard.

“Enough of this shit… I’m up to my eyes with you Spike!” Angel says stepping forward. “Ok... who are you, where are you from and what are you doing here?” Angel asks looking at her keeping a certain distance. She makes his skin crawl in a good way or bad? He doesn’t know yet. He maintains a certain distance sizing her up; he looks at the weaponry on her, boots are armed with small wood knifes, her arms they already know are armed, and her tool belt as an assortment from stakes to Japanese weapons. Angel finally locks eyes with her but did not move from his ground. She grins.

“Umm… for a moment I was expecting you to charge at me and also try intimidate me with your body too, and I do emphasize the ‘TRY’.” She says.

“She speaks!” Spike says.

“Really we CAN hear Spike!” Gunn says.

“Sorry then …bunch of touchy people!” Spike says.

“Hon… I can speak and hear very well; too well I must add; and you … I was making a huge effort not to crack up laughing!” She says looking at Spike smiling. Angel steps forward and closed the distance on them towering her. She looked tall with her wings spread out up in the air, but now on the floor although still gorgeous she is just about 5 feet tall. She looks up facing Angel straight on.

“I’m I suppose to piss me pants now?” She spits out, hands on her hips. His ways annoying her big time. Spike jaw drops to the floor big time, and everyone is eye opened with her reaction towards Angel.

“Ok, they don’t know her fine, understandable, but she can sense his tension and there is something more in it but just suspicion.” She thinks in her mind.

“I asked you a question!” Is Angel’s flat answer.

“Correction, you asked several…!” She says in his face never breaking eye contact, Angel is the one who ends up breaking eye contact, stepping back crossing his arms over his chest.

“I’m waiting!” He says coldly. She rolls her eyes and looks at Spike smiling. He was out of himself; this gorgeous creature was smiling at him. She turns her attention to Angel and steps forward closing the distance between them even more. She stares right in his eyes.

“I’m a vampire dark angel, from another dimension, I travel through dimensions and I just stopped by yours!” She says crossing her arms under her voluptuous breasts. Spike swallows in some air looking at her breasts hypnotised.

“Spike… watch it!!” She tells him without even looking at him; that took him off guard big time. He rubs his blond-bleached hair embarrassed.

“Oh… sorry!” He says shifting on his feet.

“Funny … you landed right on my old office!” Angel says roughly.

“Well I though showing up like this no your new one would me more hectic!” She says jestering.

“So you came here with a purpose?” Wesley asks. She looks behind Angel.

“What are you here for?” Gunn asks not even giving her the chance to answer Wesley.

“GUYS!!! Calm down…!” Fred says irritated. “How about asking her name first; before we start bombarding her with questions. It would be much more polite on your part. She’s been answering our questions, cooperating, so stop being so damned rude!” The strange woman looks at Fred and smiles softly.

“Thank you… Fred. Right?”

“Yes…how do you know?” The young woman asks in her normal sweet tone.

“Well… did you forget since you got in here, you talked and discussed with each other like crazy for about 30m…and I just stood up there waiting for you to calm down, and picked up on some of your names!”

“Yah ...well, we are used to deal with all sorts….”

“Daemons, vampires, ghosts and affiliated creatures!” The woman adds to Wesley’s statement. They look at her surprised.

“Yah! How’d you know?” Gunn asks still defensive.

“Guys …please... you’re smarter than that! Those things exist in every dimension… and you came here thinking you were going to probably find one and kill it, ‘cause that’s your job. Right?” She says, and without even giving them room to answer she resumes her conversation “And by the way Fred… my name is Alika”. Fred steps up closer to her, she didn’t move from her spot since she got on Angels face, it was he who moved away from her.

“As you know I’m Fred, you already know our crazy Vampire-with-a soul-ghost Spike, the grumpy vampire-with-a–soul but not ghostly, is Angel, and these are Gunn and Wesley.”

“Thank you Fred!” Alika says. “So are we going to stand here all night, or are you going to take me to WH and test me, up and down, in and out… what ever you do!” She asks. Spike raises his index finger and opens his mouth to speak. “Not that kind of testing Spike!” Alika says winking an eye at him. He shuts his mouth so violently his teeth snap but he is able to work up a smile to her.

“You don’t have a place to stay?” Spike asks stepping closer to her.

“Spike I just got here…I’m not from this dimension. Of course I don’t have a place to stay hon.!” She says touching his cheek softly. Everyone’s jaw drops including Spike’s.

“How the hell did you do that?” Angel asks

“What? Touch a non-corporeal entity?” She says pausing. “I have many abilities Angel!” she simply says. Angel tries to hide his curiosity about this girl, she is harmless or at least it looks like it so far, something about her really makes him uneasy.

“You’re welcome to stay with us, until you find your own place!” Fred says. Alika curls up a smile; Fred’s a very sweet girl. “I mean if you want…” Angel can’t help to wonder if that is Alika’s plan all along. Infiltrate WH, but he prefers to find that out with her close by and under surveillance.

“I have no problem in going with you; I jumped into this dimension to join your fight, so what better way to do that, than being where you are!” Alika says facing Angel now. “You’re rap is known in all … uhm… at least in the10 dimensions I’ve been to, Angel-Angelus!” They all look at her surprised and worried at the same time. Spike walks close enough whisper in her ear.

“I was a bad boy once too, you know, just in case you’re a bad boy lover!” Alika looks at Spike.

“Well I’m definitely a lover of good humour!” She tells him. He smiles a cocky smile.

“So … are you here to join Angel or Angelus?” Angel says archly stepping so close to her; he takes her off guard seeing she was paying attention to Spike.

“If you keep up this attitude …neither!” She spat out. “I don’t need you to help me vanquish vampires and daemons I can do it on my own…on the other hand, you … might need someone like me! I’m way powerful than you Angel!” Gunn looks from Angel to Alika, both him and Wesley were getting tired of the ping pong between them.

“Are you really more powerful than Angel or me?” Spike asks; she only nods. Angel looks at her worried.

“Listen Alika… would you mind coming with us to WH?” Wesley asks trying to get this situation over with.

“No! I don’t mind at all.”

“It’s just that… well …we have a friend that can read you… so we can be sure of what you really are!” Wesley says.

“Oh …you got a phylean daemon on your pack?” Alika asks. Everyone looks at her surprised, she definitely knows a lot about other creatures.

“You do know other dimensions!” Gunn states.

“Yah… I told you that already!” she is now becoming bored with this conversation. She looks at Angel, she knows he is a stone wall to strangers but to her he is concrete walling himself. She wonders why that is.

“Ok … we should be going, so you can rest some love!” Spike says. She smiles, Spike although flirty, was the only one taking her in without suspicion; Angel looks at Spike annoyed and turns around heading for the door. The rest follow. Alika breathes in deep.

“This is going to be a though job!” She thinks to herself, everyone did take her in fairly well; but the one person that HAD to… Angel!
