Faith decided to cool off her head since Buffy's arrival in Los Angeles it was a good thing to want to see Buffy here did she not have nothing else to do. all it seemed like Buffy did was talk bad down to her like she was scum at least Angel don't think that, and Buffy haft to get over herself. Noticing a Diner Faith walked inside she told Angel that they need to meet at the diner it was a nice place, but a bit worn down, so Faith didn't really mind what she looked like. No need to get all girly up for just lunch and besides this was Angel he has seen her in a lot worse. What was Faith's attire tonight just a blue top with the number twenty five written on it and a pair of nice comfortable pants there was so many thoughts going through her head. Will Buffy do nothing but cause her Hell? Why was she even in Los Angeles? truth be told Faith didn't want to know, and finally it was nice to go out with Angel without a tag on.
The host looked over escorting Faith to a table for two and she sat down taking off her jean jacket placing it behind her chair 6there was a fresh would on her arm not to bad just a few scratches. Slaying really made a girl look good she just wondered where did that demon come from? It was like the thing came out of no where. It gave her a chance to take out all her frustrations and anger making her feel a bit better. Watching a waiter ask for her order she shook her head. "Bring me a coke and my friend is coming he would like a coffee alright" The man kept looking at Faith's cut wondering if she needed medical treatment or not and Faith noticed the waiter really staring. "It's fine really just go get our drinks okay" It was bandaged some what with a rip of her shirt tied might as well improvise since there was really no first aid kits around.
Faith was pretty sure everyone that was eating did not want to see that gash on her arm and looking over the menu wondering what to get maybe Angel could get the steak bloody. She didn't know what he wanted, but the waiter kept bugging her for an order. "Alright I like two steaks one of them really bloody and mine rare yes bring whatever comes with the sides" Watching the waiter leave finally she thought that fool never give her a break. Picking up her glass of coke she took a drink. |

Angel looked at the clock as he walked into the diner, he was dead on time. The vampire liked to be precise, and do things on time. Angel glanced out over the sea of people that were eating, talking and drinking it didn't take him long to spot Faith.
Angel shrugged off his black leather duster jacket, holding it over one arm as he walked, briskly over to the table. He smiled down at the slayer, feeling guilty about how Buffy had treated her earlier that evening. He hung his jacket over the back of the chair then sat down on the wooden seat.
"Faith, I'm sorry about earlier...I know you and Buffy don't see eye to eye. But her behaviour was unacceptable. I just want to say thanks for you know, keeping it together"
The ensouled vampire understood how the two slayers loathed each other, and he knew how hard it must have been for the brunette to hold her tongue as best she could and to not get physical with Buffy. He was proud that Faith hadn't acted out, the last thing he needed was a slayer smackdown in his city.

Faith, I'm sorry about earlier...I know you and Buffy don't see eye to eye. But her behavior was unacceptable. I just want to say thanks for you know, keeping it together.
Listening to Angel taking a drink of her coke it did take so much not wanting to hit Buffy hard. "I know Angel you have nothing to be sorry about Buffy never going to accept me, and I am fine by that. I am to evil for her to let back in" Faith said with a grin taking a biscuit that they were served. Reaching for butter and jam spreading it on her biscuit. "I am not the type to stoop down to her level believe me you learn a lot in prison. I don't know why she on my case I guess thats all she got to do. I mean you know I always been second to Buffy, and she still has feelings for you"
Faith only wanted Angel happy that was it she was unsure his feelings about Buffy, but anyway might as well get off that topic. " I was on my way here when a demon jumped me it was like the thing came out of no where. I killed it, but it left me a pretty good gash in my arm the only thing I had was my top. So I ripped it" Faith watched as their food was brought to the table Angel's steak was pretty much cooked, raw an bloody. Hers had a bit of blood in the meat to. "I hope you don't mind I went on and ordered the waiter was impatient"
It always bothered Faith to why Buffy had to snoop in on her she heard enough from Sunnydale, but no Buffy should of never had went off like that. "The way she talked Buffy thought we were having sex right in front of her" Wrinkles her nose quite a bit sometimes B really over looked everything. |

"I'll take a look at your arm when we get back to the hotel, even if you think it's nothing, I'd like to clean it and bandage it, just to make sure"
Angel cared about Faith, a lot. He didn't want to touch the Buffy subject, it was awkward and difficult for him to deal with. She was an old flame, and he knew it never really could work out between the two of them. He'd always love her, but he wasn't in love with her anymore. He'd finally gotten over Buffy after her death three years ago.
The vampire looked down at the food in front of him. He picked up his knife and fork, staring at the food on his plate. Vampire's couldn't taste anything other than blood and the blood on the stake would barely taste of anything at all. Still Angel felt guilty that she'd ordered him something and it would be rude if he didn't eat it.
Cutting a small piece of the steak he popped it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it. Nothing. He couldn't taste a thing. Angel missed being able to taste things other than blood, it was a part of his humanity he had lost a long time ago. He put on a small, fake smile and cut another piece of the steak, popping it into his mouth and eating it like he had done with the first piece.

Faith had an uneasy feeling that Angel was not to comfortable even with his fake smile she was not stupid. Slowly placing her hand on his pulling him up paying for the food. "Come on Angel we can get a drink or something." Listening to him mention her arm yes Faith was in a bit of pain, but it would die down eventually as she rubbed the place on her arm "My arm fine Angel you worry to much I'm five by five you know me can't really ever feel no pain" Faith throughout the years has learned to numb most pain, but the cut was clean maybe it was best to get out of this diner. In a way Faith fell out of place here something about the people staring at her the way she was dressed did not help her case as her hand tugged Angel's out of the diner.
Walking down the sidewalk staying beside Angel she liked just being able to get out of the hotel and do something fun Angel didn't exactly see how bad that gash was. Slowly taking off the cloth he would see a pretty heavy deep gash down her arm Faith didn't really care for the pain since she was used to it. "So, Are you alright I mean with B being here? I know I'm not but there nothing we can really do about it. I wish she understand what it is like to have blood on your hands knowing you can never rid of it." She couldn't thank Angel enough for what he did for her just the thought of it was enough to make her know that she owe Angel a lot.
Playfully punching his shoulder with a grin. "Thanks for everything Angel I mean really not judging me like most do I feel so much better here knowing I can start fresh." The bite left by Angelus was faint as people walked past them going on with there daily tasks unaware of the real danger that surrounds them. "So you know Dawn here in L.A I saw her at the bus station I guess thats why B here to pick her up, but I let her crash into my room for a wile." Faith had no idea why Dawn would be here, but then again everyone wanted to get bar away from Sunnydale to many memories. "You know we still got to rumble soon never did get our fight in" She said with a chuckle.. |

"Having Buffy here isn't ideal. The Hellmouth is in need of a Guardian, and she can't just skip out whenever she feels like visiting. I mean, I want to see her, I do. But not if she's going to act like a child and not put her duties first"
With Buffy away the Hellmouth was pretty much the demon capital of the world. With no slayer to stop the spread and swell of evil, the planet could be overun in days, weeks, hours. There wasn't just the Sunnydale, Hellmouth there was also another in Cleveland, however there was another set of white hats working on sealing that one.
Angel smiled as Faith thanked him, she didn't need to say anything. He understood how grateful she was that he'd saved her soul and put her on a path to redemption. Angel also had a lot to thank Faith for, the slayer had been willing to trade her life for his when Angelus was back for a brief while. Faith wasn't just his friend, she was also his saviour.
He listened intently as she continued to speak. "Dawn?...who's guarding the Hellmouth then, it sounds like a Sunnydale reunion or something. Well it was generous of you to let her take your room, but I have a hundred rooms at the hotel, she can pick another to stay in"

"I know what you mean Sunnydale already in enough hell and here she comes to Los Angeles probably wants to make sure I am not going to kill you. I am glad though that we can talk without people budding into our conversations"
Angel was her champion he done so much good for her sure she was on the path of redemption,but once in a wile there would be speed bumps that could take her off course, and Faith did not want to be back to what she was before, Finally they made it to the hotel walking inside maybe that first aid kit would be good, and by how the cut looked she needed it very badly. Blood started to ooze from her slash going down her arm right to her wrist boy this was not looking good already, and hurt like a bitch. Not wanting to drip blood on Angel's floor Faith went into the bathroom turning on the sink damn that demon really got a good hit to her.
Reaching under the cabinet for her rag soaking it in cold water slowly cleaning up the blood from her arm at least as much as she could the last thing Faith needed was Angel to be a worry wart about her. Coming out of the bathroom holding that rag to her cut hearing Angel talk about more rooms in the hotel Faith only nod sitting on the couch to relax a bit. "Hey at least that is one demon off the streets though I am tempted to kick Buffy's ass, but then that would only make things worse." Last thing she needs is Buffy jumping all over her. |

Angel rolled his eyes, Faith did a poor job at cleaning herself up. He could smell her, salty, boiling hot blood as it trickled down her arm, as the vampire walked past her and into the office to get Wesley's first aid kit. He made his way back into the hyperion lobby and sat down on the floor infront of the brunette slayer.
He carefully took her arm and made it straight then took the rag away, leaving it on the floor for the time being. He then opened the medical kit and took out some creame. Angel bit the cap open with his teeth, then gently rubbed it over the cut. He let the cream sink in before, taking out a roll of bandage and neatly wrapping up her arm.
When he was done, Angel packed the kit back up and placed it on the seat next to Faith, then he stood up and rolled his shoulders, cracking his knuckles as he did so.
"Can we stop talking about Buffy. All she ever wants to talk about is you, and when I'm with you it's vice versa."
The tone of his voice, sounded aggrivated. But then again the vampire had a right to be. People were gate crashing of sorts in his city and it was stiring up trouble and re-opening old wounds. Angel didn't have time for nonsense, there was an upcoming war that they would all soon face and they needed to learn to band together as a team, united against the forces of darkness.

Faith watched Angel close giving him access to her cut not really flinching when he started to put the medicine into the cut. Slowly pulling her sleeve off she grinned to Angel standing up."Thanks again Angel I mean for everything you done for me. It does mean something to me even though some people don't believe me" Faith was still coping with the crimes she did all the blood shed on her, and she did not want to go back to her dark ways, but it always did scare her what if she would snap that was one thing Wesley said. Just because she doesn't show it don't mean there not a dark urge building up, but being with Angel has settled that down quite a bit. Angel could tell something was troubling her, but getting Faith to open up was not an easy task, but if anyone could do it be Angel. She might of been his savior but he was also hers sure he understood because Angel killed in time, but that wasn't him Faith only had one side to her.
Faith remember after everything with Angel he wanted her to stay with him and that made her happy the only person she was close to was Angel, and sure there were feelings she had, but they would haft to wait and see what happens. Months together her and Angel has gotten close training and patrolling whenever they can sure it was true when Faith killed that man wanting to take the pain out on others that way she would not feel no hurt. Few years in prison taught Faith a lot sure the guards were good to her because basically she could kick there butt all over the cell floor and everyday she thanked for those powers. Angel could always read Faith when something was bothering her she would change subjects fast or even not really say much at all.
"So, about that demon I killed I think there was nest of them before I could even get the chance mother attacked, but after that then I went to the diner to meet you. I was wondering if you could train the sword with me? Do you really think there hope for me even after all these years" She said her hand fell on his shoulder letting him know that she would be there for him if things got out of control, but yet there was fear that Wesley had mentioned once and not sure if she should talk to Angel about it. "I like you" She said sitting back down boy that just came out of no where, but still it felt uncomfortable did he like her? Was it a bold move to even say that? Questions ran through her mind as her free hand rubbed the cut at least it was easing the pain. Something was still a little bit bothering her. She heard what Wesley had said about Angelus and her they both were animals that is why he asked her out of jail. If anyone truly understood Angel and Angelus it was Faith. |

Angel titled his head, not really understanding where Faith was coming from. "I like you too", he presumed she was feeling like he would stop caring for her because Buffy was back in town but that wasn't true at all. He was going to spend as much time with Buffy as he was with Faith. So neither of the girls would have to feel like they were loosing him.
"Uh, sword training. Sure"
Angel had promised to train with the brunette after all before they had been interupted in the basement. He felt it would only be fair to keep to his word and train with the slayer. It would be good for him too, he liked practicing his weaponary skills and he'd been favouring his battle axe over his broad sword lately. And it was fair to say that Faith would be a worthy opponent.
