Summary: The Scooby gang become embroiled in the mystery of two youths appearance in Sunnydale.  Their purpose and presence may shock everyone.

Author's Note: This story line kept running in my head.  It wouldn't leave me alone so...
  *******

"Hurry up, will you,"the dark haired teen whispered, looking around the
vacant computer room.

"I'm going as *bloody * fast as I can, I need to break into the main frame
first before I can download anything, " the thin redheaded teen hissed in
annoyance.

"Chance, you boasted how this old system was archaic and you said it would be
easier than a translocation spell.."

"Jinx, look I can handle it if you just shut yer space port, you're supposed
to be the lookout, let me just..."

"Halt!" the solider ordered. < How the hell did these kids get in here? >

Jinx whirled and landed a roundhouse kick to the soldier's midsection.  The
solider grunted in surprise that such a petit girl could pack such a wallop.
" Hurry up! Chance," she yelled as she tried to wrench the weapon from the
solider.

" Almost done," he said his voice cracking.

The solider backhanded the dark haired girl sending her staggering backward,
< this kid is super strong, and I need backup. >  The girl regained her
balance and took up a fighting stance.

Jackson feigned a lunge and then kicked the girl's legs out from under her.
He quickly moved back to the entranceway and hit the alarm.   The girl
growled and flung her self at the solider and managed to remove his holstered
weapon.

Chance yelled, " Jinx, that projectile weapon is very sensitive, careful, we
don't want to risk altering the time line."

"Stop!" Jinx ordered waving the gun at the man.  " Have you got it? " she
asked desperation creeping into her voice.  < We're out in the ozone now! >

" Almost, I neglected to calculate how slow these old systems are."  Chance
replied, his brow furrowed over his green eyes.

"Halt!" Three more soldiers rushed into the room.  Jinx swung the weapon
towards them.  One of the soldiers used his stun gun to subdue the girl.
Chance swore, "bloody hell", uttered the spell under his breath and lost
consciousness before he knew if it worked.

The solider that had lost his weapon to the young girl stared in shock as his
three comrades disappeared from their uniforms and instead 3 rats ran
squeaking about the room.
 

~~~~~~~~

Maggie Walsh had called an emergency briefing to assess the security breech.
Riley's team was assembled minus the three men who had apparently been
transformed in rodents.

" Ok men, these are the facts that we know.   At approximately 1300 hours
Jackson hears voices while he was on routine guard duty of the computer room.
He entered the room and the security camera began recording as per design
upon anyone opening the door.  However, the security camera did not detect
the intruders before this.  Nor did the security camera in the hallway, in
the elevators, nor anywhere else in this whole high tech installation detect
these two youths up until Jackson here." she exclaimed angrily.

"Wait.  So who are these intruders, demons of some sort?" Riley asked puzzled.

"No after stunning both youths we had Dr. Kessel examine them.  Maggie
clicked on the video monitor, which displayed a close up of the young man.
Maggie continued, "The female called him Chance, as you can see he is a tall,
lanky young male, red hair green eyes, angular features no other
distinguishing features.  He appears to be about 16 or 17 years old by the
doctor's calculation.  Dr. Kessel has examined him and says he is fully and
completely human.  He displayed some amazing hacking skills,  and  I suspect
he has some magical abilities.  Dr. Kessel is keeping him sedated and is
running more tests.
Maggie clicked the remote and the video display showed a close up of the
young girl.  " Jinx as she was called by her friend, is also approximately 16
or 17, human, although she has extreme strength and agility as demonstrated
here.

Riley swallowed hard, that young girl could be Buffy's sister, her twin..
well almost.  The girl was built like Buffy, and her facial features looked
the same except for the eyes and the hair.  The girl had deep chocolate eyes
and her hair was long dark and wavy. < Maybe she is a slayer too, that could
explain her strength. >

" I said, have you any thoughts Riley," Maggie asked sternly.  Riley shook
himself out of his trance.

" Do we have any idea about how they got into the compound?"  He asked

" None, it's almost as if they appeared out of thin air.  However it is of
interest to note that the red headed boy, Chance had some type of CD-ROM like
device which he  was apparently  using to downloading everything from our
main frame.  None of the computer tec's here have every seen anything exactly
like it.   In listening to the tape, he also lectured the girl about
Jackson's gun calling it a *projectile weapon * and also mentioned something
about messing up the timeline.    Gentlemen, I'm very concerned about these
two *kids* who managed to breach state of the art security, hack into
encrypted classified data bases, the girl can fight like a trained solider
and the young men can apparently change men into rats."  Maggie began to pace
back and forth in front of the conference table.  " However, what concerns me
the most, is that these two may be from the future.  We haven't ever
considered that possibility in our policy and procedures manual.  Frankly,
the possible implications are staggering.
*****
Maggie Walsh paced back and forth in front of the conference room table, and
glared at her best soldiers.   " I want to know who these intruders are, who
sent them, what exactly they wanted, where or *when* did they come from?"
"Riley, I want you to interrogate the girl, Jinx.  Forrest, you've got the
boy, Chance." The rest of you, I want on intruder alert status here in the
compound.  Whoever sent these kids is likely to try and rescue them or
perhaps will try agin to break into our computer system.  I'm going to have
the tech team begin alert status also.  If anyone tries to hack into our
system from outside I want to know it.  Dr. Kessel has begun to run DNA
samples from the intruders through our very large database to see if these
*human* kids match the DNA samples of any demons we have tested.  These kids
are not what they seem, although they have tested as human, they may be some
sort of demon-human hybrid."

Forrest whispered under his breath to Riley, " Easy Mulder,"

"If you have a constructive comment Mr. Forrest, by all means share it with
the rest of us."  Maggie snapped.

Forrest wiped the smile off his face and nodded his head no.

~~~~~~~

Spike and Xander were sitting on Giles couch munching on wheat-a bit
crackers.  The former wheat-a bits dunked in blood, the latter with peanut
butter.  Ayna rolled her eyes; "perhaps I shall go upstairs and help Willow
with the fashion parade er whatever."

" Honey, I'm so glad you and Willow spent some time together, nothing would
make me happier than my two favorite women being friendly."  Xander grinned
goofly little flecks of crackers escaped his mouth and rained down on his
fleece jacket.

" I do admit it wasn't as awful as I imagined, I like helping spend money,
and if I do say so, the new wardrobe she choose is a vast improvement over
her Geeks-R-US wear.  Thank goodness Buffy had to cancel or Willow would have
ended up looking like.."

"OK," Willow called from upstairs; "Here I come."

Xander smacked Spike in the chest, " Be nice to her or else," Xander
threatened.

Spike coughed a bloody wheat-a bit out.  "Easy mate, I think I can come up
with some inane remark about her bloody clothes, after all I have been a
master with the ladies for over 126 years."

Willow was nervous.  < Hey these are my friends, well not really Ayna, but
Xander, and Spike-well he may not consider me a friend but he will be
brutally honest at least. >  Willow walked down the stairs head held high.
She had decided on a complete makeover, new hair style, makeup, and clothes.
< I'm not going to be mousy-geek-computer nerd any more! >

Xander whistled, " High society campus siren," he commented smiling

Spike choked again on a cracker.  < She's stunning. >  Spike admired the long
dark green skirt that hugged her hips and clung seductively to her long legs.
The skirt had a slit up the side that displayed an abundance of thigh.  The
matching velour top had long sleeves, a form fitting bodice, laced up the
front with a scooped neckline.  The cut of the blouse accentuated Willow's
pert breast.  Spike's eyes devoured her dove white skin from the gentle swell
of her breast, across her enticing collarbone, her graceful neck.  Her lips
were painted a deep blood red and nearly looked black.  Her makeup
accentuated her lovely eyes making them appear smoky with passion.  Spike
felt the familiar stirrings of male appreciate of the female form, bloom into
full blown desire, along with feeling of intense jealousy. < No one should
see her this way but me! >

" Well, what do you think Spike," Willow asked giving him a little half smile
as she twirled around.

"I hope your not going out in public with that outfit?"  He blurted out.

" It's not flattering at all, see Ayna I thought it was too tight across the
stomach, I think I need a larger size, and I bet it makes my butt sticks out
too."  Willow babbled forlornly, " I'm all bloated"

"No, Wills you look great, don't listen to the soulless one."  Xander
interrupted her self-critical evaluation.

"And you hair, " Spike added, " It looks like you just climbed out of bed,"
he continued. < Just like you've been thoroughly ravished. >

"Oh," Willow's face fell.

" Xander's right, and might I add that that doesn't happen often, Willow you
look very chic and sexy and I think the old vampire needs to get his eyes
checked.  Come on if you looked trashy like Buffy, I would tell you.
Besides, I told you before how awful I thought you dressed.  These things
help you play up your tiny breast and skinny legs."  Ayna replied smiling.

" Thanks," Willow answered softly. < I'm not sure if she just paid me a
complement wrapped in an insult? >

"Ayna's right Willow, you look great." Xander repeated glaring at Spike.

"I never said I didn't like it Pet,  just that... I don't think.. You'll
attract attention from the wrong sort."  Spike finally finished.

Willow's brow furrowed in confusion, " like demons and vampires?" she asked
innocently.

"Bloody hell, every male age 13 on up will be sniffing after you trying to
get into your panties." He explained exasperated.

Willow scowled at him, " You don't have to be sarcastic too, you already made
it clear that you don't like my outfit, well I don't care, so there! " she
said sticking her tongue out at Spike.

Spike felt his cock quiver at the sight of her pink tongue wagging at him.

" I've got a date, so as much as I'm enjoying the ego boost I've gotta go."
Willow said sarcastically

" Who's the lucky guy Wills?"  Xander asked

" Percy," she responded evenly.

" Percy, who said you were queen of the geek squad?  Percy? The basketball
jock and All-American womanizer? Percy?"  Xander asked incredulously.

" Yeah, so.."  Willow answered her brow raised as if to challenge. < Well
it's actually a study date but I want him to eat his words. >
 

~~~~~~~~
Angel was keyed up.  The case he had been working on for a month was finally
put to bed so to speak, and that's exactly what he had in mind for himself.
He stripped down to his silk boxers and slid between his silk sheets.

< Ah, > he closed his eyes.  He turned one way, rolled onto his stomach.  He
exhaled an unneeded breath.  < Buffy, beautiful, sexy Buffy images flit
across his eyelids.  Her smile, her soft skin, her glorious breasts cupped in
his hands.  Twin globes of perfection topped on by perfect..>  His hand
slipped over his muscular abdomen to grasp his attention-deprived member.  "
Aha" he exhaled as he firmly gripped his base and slid his hand up the shaft
to tease the underside of his cock.  < Buffy, her hot little mouth
surrounding him, licking and sucking at him, starved for him. >  He could
hear her voice in his head begging for him to give her release. Angel felt
the tightening in his balls signaling his orgasm.  Suddenly blinding white
light surrounded him.   " Fuck!" he swore under his breath.  He stood before
the male and female guardians of the Powered That Be, his spent dick in his
hand.
******
Spike and Xander continued to munch on crackers, oblivious to the mess
they
were making all over Giles couch.

" Who is this Percy guy?  What do you really know about him?  Do you
think
she changed her look to impress him?"  Spike asked suddenly more
interested
in answers than crackers.

" Huh," Xander mumbled, turning his gaze from the TV to look
suspiciously at
Spike.
"Since when are you interested in anything that goes on besides killing

demons?"  Xander asked, one dark brow upraised.

"Oh the little girl has been moping for months about the dog boy, she
suddenly starts wearing clothes that say, 'I'm hot and shaggable' and
is
suddenly *dating *.   Where is the slayer anyway? She probably pushed
Willow
into this."  Spike mumbled brushing crumbs off his black jeans as he
stood up
and began to pace.

" Speaking of the Buffster, what ever happened to her, she was the one
who
planned Willow's shopping trip?"  Xander asked, still amazed that Ayna
and
Willow had spent the day together alone and neither wore any visible
wounds.

"Willow said she has some nasty stomach flu virus that makes her barf
ever
time she smells food."  Ayna replied.  " Can we go and have sex now,
I've
been nice all day and I'd like my reward now Xander?"  Ayna smiled
lewdly at
Xander.  " Wait till you see what I bought at Victoria's Secret!" she
cooed
and kissed Xander and rubbed herself against him.

"Please, I'm gonna heave," Spike sputtered disgustedly.  " Hey, Willow
didn't
buy any of those fancy nickers did she?"  He asked anxiously.

Ayna giggled,  " The works, black see through wonder bra, I don't know
why
she bothered, sheer French cut briefs, garter belt and those silk
stockings
she was wearing.

" Oh Honey, I love when you talk lingerie," Xander whispered into her
ear.

" Make him go out! " Ayna commanded.  "Giles is gone over to play
nursemaid
to Buffy, so we could.."  She leaned in close and whispered into
Xander's ear.

" Spike get out!"  Xander  ordered, picking Ayna up in his arms and
swiftly
moving towards the upstairs.

Spike rolled his eyes.  < Maybe if I hurry I can catch up with Willow.
I
hate to have the little sprite get pawed by some young hormonal man.>

~~~~~~~
 Forrest took a deep breath.  He was not about to admit that he was
more
nervous of facing this skinny red-haired teen than he was of the myriad

demons he had helped bag and tag during his work with the initiative.
It was
just the thought of being turned into a rodent.  Man he hated rats.
He
placed his palm on the security lock, " enter cell 2101" he called.
The
force field dropped, as soon as Forrest passed through the barrier the
force
field reactivated.  Ever since hostile 17 had escaped, all the security
cells
had been changed over from card activated to voice and fingerprint
recognition in efforts to make any demon that may overpower a staff
person
from escaping again.

Forrest slowly approached the still unconscious boy; he used the hypo
spray
to rouse the prisoner.

Chance stirred upon the cot, his mouth felt like the New Texas desert.
<
Jinx, Oh no! >

"Jinx," he rasped out calling for his best friend.  He managed to right

himself and glared at the large black man that was standing over him.
"
Where is she, what have you done to her?"  He croaked.

" I'll be the one asking the questions," Forrest answered evenly.
 

~~~~~~~~~

Riley still couldn't get over how much this young women looked like
Buffy.
He watched as she drank down her second cup of water.

" Thanks," she said smiling up at him and lowering her dark eyes
flirtatiously

" So how did a nice guy like you end up working for such an evil bunch
as the
initiative?"  She asked boldly.

Riley felt his guts twist, she must be some relation to Buffy, she
knows the
name of the project, damn! That's something I didn't tell Buffy.. Maybe
Buffy
has been stringing me along to find out more about the project.  She
must be
a slayer too.

"So slayer, care to tell me what a nice girl like you is doing breaking
into
a top secret security installation?"  Riley shot back nonplussed.

~~~~~~~
Cordelia was in the grocery store picking up a few items.  She wheeled
her
cart around the corner when the vision blinded her with intense pain.
 She
staggered and her cart moved forward crashing into a display of paper
towels
sending them raining down upon her head.  The vision lasted much longer
then
any other she had ever had.  It was Technicolor 3-D with surround
sound.
Cordy heard and saw both Buffy and Willow screaming and writhing in
pain.
~~~~~~

The female guardian smiled, " It looks like we interrupted something."
She
ran her eyes appreciatively up and down Angel's naked body as he
attempted to
cup his manhood.

<Great, now the PTB are gonna tell me I can't even whack off anymore. >

Angel lowered his head in shame.

** Calista, this isn't at all amusing, we wouldn't be in this mess if
your
affection for this creature hadn't clouded your judgement in the first
place.** Giddeon thought to his female counterpart.

Calista turned and smiled at Giddeon, ** Despite what the Powers claim
our
turning back time that day only erased it from the memories of the
others.
The original time line in which he became mortal again caused all those

ripples events.  Who's to say that any of this wouldn't have happened
if
things remained the same and everyone remembered what happened during
that
twenty four hours?  It's those nasty brats that have gone and mucked
everything up! **

"It's not our place to argue with the Powers," he said out loud.

Angel shifted uncomfortably, waiting to find out why he was called
here.

Calista rolled her eyes at Giddeon and turned to look at Angel.

" Angel, there is a little problem you need to fix…" she began

~~~~~

Spike had followed Willow to the Sunnydale University Library.  < Hah,
I
should have know that the little girl didn't have a date.  Although she
was
oblivious to him following her.  He was going to have to speak to her
about
that.  She was equally oblivious to all the male, and in a few cases
the
female looks of appreciation she got as she moved about campus.

Spike's jaw tightened when he saw Willow approach a dark hair lad
sitting
alone at a small table.

" Hi Percy, " she said in her shy Willow voice.

Spike watched the lad jump up and his mouth open as he saw him eyeing
Willow's enticing form.
Spike decided he best keep an eye on the well-built muscle bound pup.
He
quickly moved round to the library book stack in front of the table.
He
pulled out several books on his side of the stack and shifted the books

slightly on the other side so as to see the young couple.

" Sorry, I'm late Percy," Willow apologized and blushed.

" No problem Willow," he pulled out a chair for her and leered over her

shoulder as he stood over her ogling her enhanced cleavage as he pushed
in
her chair.

Spike rolled his eyes and felt his stomach twist.  < If only I didn't
have
that stupid chip in me head I'd rip out that sods eye balls and squish
em
under me boots. >

He watched as the lad pulled his chair closer to Willow's and how he
put his
arm across the back of her chair and pressed his thigh intimately up
against
her's. Spike felt his blood begin to boil.  The bleeding bugger had
leaned
close to her ear and whispered something that made her laugh.  <That's
it no
one was going to ogle his women and get away with it! >

~~~~~

"So let me see of I got this right," Angel said his dark brown eyes
squinting
in concentration.

" I'm supposed to go back to Sunnydale and collect two kids from this
underground installation, help them escape and tell them to just go
back
home?"

"That's correct," Giddeon replied.

" But, your not going to tell me who they are or where they live or why
they
are even being held prisoner there in the first place?" Angel asked his
voice
barely masking his frustration and anger.

"Your assistance requires  a very limited need to know basis."  Calista

replied.        ** We don't want to risk any more ripple effect in the
time
line. **

"How am I supposed to do this if I don't know what the hell I'm doing?"

Angel hissed.  < I'm starting to sound like Cordy. >

" The lives of many you care about are at stake, so I'm sure you will
succeed
at this task."  Giddeon answered.

" Great," Angel said tightly, "Send me back to my apartment and I will
get
some clothes and.."
The blinding white light surrounded him again.   His nose was assailed
by the
smells of sex; even before his vision cleared he heard male and female
moaning and what sounded like lovemaking.   He needed to figure out
where the
hell the guardians had deposited him and get out of there before the
couple
noticed a naked man in their bedroom.

" Oh Xander," the women moaned.

" Xander?"   A voice called sternly.

< Oh shit someone else is here too! >

" Oh my!  Xander.. It's Giles.."  Ayna squeaked pulling up the
bedsheet.

 At that moment the lights went on in the room.  Giles wasn't shocked
to find
the young couple in his bed but what did shock the piss out of him was
that
Angel was standing naked by the foot of his bed holding his semi erect
cock
in his large hands.
*****
Cordelia managed to pull herself together with a little help from a
handsome
young actor, so what if he just worked in the supermarket to pay the
bills
until his break, she gave him the number at the office.  She then
excused
herself and used her cell phone to ring the office.  After getting her
own
voice on the answering machine she then called Angel's beeper.  Angel's

beeper and answering machine both flashed in the empty bedroom.

~~~~~~~~
"Giles I can explain," Xander began then suddenly noticed Angel,  "
Not!"  He
shouted.  "I can not explain what Deadboy is doing here…What are you
doing
here.. I mean besides watching us and..Oh God I so hope you weren't.."

Xander sputtered feeling a little sick at the thought of Angel getting
off
watching him and Ayna.

Ayna let the sheet fall a bit and flashed the infamous vampire a little
more
breasts; she smiled coyly at him and cursed the watchers' return.  < So
this
is the broody Angel, at least I can see what Buffy saw in him, stupid
Giles,
perhaps if he hadn't interrupted? >

" I can explain.. I think.." Angel said softly as he grabbed a fallen
pillow
to hide the evidence of his arousal. < It's not my fault I live like a
monk
and am unwittingly exposed to sexual stimuli. >  "Giles, could I borrow
a
pair of sweats?"  Angel asked the red faced Watcher.

Giles had had enough, first Spike running amok in his home acting like
bloody
royalty, then Xander and Ayna, having relations in his bed and where
ever
else they felt like whenever the spirit moved them; Willow's dabbling
with
more dangerous spells; Buffy keeping secrets from him again, that
always
seemed to involve some man at the root, and now the King of Hell
himself back
in his bedroom, naked.  Well enough was enough.  I suggest you all
collect
your *own clothes* and get your assess down in the living room pronto."

Giles hissed with barely contained furry. He turned on his heels and
stomped
away.

Ayna moved quickly from the bed.  "Hey Pervert! Get your eyes off my
women.
What the hell are you doing here.. besides the obvious," Xander
grumbled.  "
First Spike, now you!  This is getting frigging ridiculous."  Xander
tossed
back the covers and glared at Angel who was poking round in Giles
closet.

Angel paused a moment at Xander's comments about Spike, < what does
Spike
have to do with any of this?  Is he the one who's threatening
everyone's
safety? >
~~~~~~~

"Percy, I think we should study," Willow said her face flushed from
Percy's
suggestion.  < She secretly felt a jolt of pleasure that the jock even
wanted
her in that way. >

Spike growled from his hiding place in the stacks.  < I want to kill
him for
even touching her, he's whispering lurid suggestions in her ear.  Yeah,
but
all I can do is perhaps get in one good belt before the pain disables
me and
then I end up a gelatinous mass on the floor with her watching and him
likely
to whip my ass. No I need to use an alternative strategy, adapt, at
least
until I can figure out a way to dismember him.. Perhaps I can torture a
demon
into doing it while I watch? >

~~~~~~

"I'm not going to answer any of your questions until I know Jinx is
safe."
Chance growled his best imitation of his dad that he could muster.  He
stood
up from the cot and moved closer to the solider.  Forrest felt he had
lived
that moment before.  He puffed out his imposing chest and pushed the
kid back
onto the cot.  " I'm the one asking the questions, and your little
friend is
safe."  Forrest assured the kid.

" Like I believe anything you bloody grunts say, you don't even know
half the
shit the *Mengela's* are doing here!"  He shouted.
 

" So why don't you fill me in on what does go on here?"  Forrest asked
his
brow raised in challenge.

~~~~~~~

" Slayer," Jinx repeated.  "I don't know what you mean" she replied
trying to
sound innocent and keep the panic from her voice.  < How does this guy
know
I'm a slayer? >

Riley noticed the girl's change in posture at his words.  He knew he
was
right on the mark.  He leaned in closer over the table that separated
them
and whispered softly, knowing the video camera to his back would not be
able
to pick up his words, and "If you won't tell me I'm sure Buffy will."
He said
without malice.

Jinx, who was so caught up in what was to be the simple task of
gathering
data here, hadn't process that her mother was alive, here and now. <
I've got
to meet her, I can warn her. >

Riley watched as the pretty girl's dark eyes widened in surprised.
 

Maggie was watching as her two best soldiers interrogated the young
intruders
from the terminals in her office. < Damn, these kids know so much about
our
operations here, How?  Is there a leak?  >
Maggie heard a knock at her door and was momentarily distracted; thus
she
missed Riley's comment about the girl being a slayer.  " Come in," she
called
tightly.

"Ms. Walsh, I have some very interesting information from the DNA
samples
taken from the intruders.  I did a cross match with our database.  It
seems
that the boy Chance is a 99.9 percent match with genetic material taken
from
Hostile 17 and also a young co-ed from the campus a Willow Rosenberg.
In
addition the female, Jinx has a 92.3 percent match with DNA from a
Buffy
Summers."  Dr. Kessel reported.

" How?  Explain to me Doctor how that young man there," she said
pointing at
the screen can share the genetic make up of a demon and a human female,
a
human female who happened to be one of her best students. A female whom
she
was thinking of trying to recruit for the project.  Maggie ran her hand

through her hair.  She was aware that they were about to begin phase
two of
the scientific experiments, experiments that involved cloning and
genetic
mutation of demon DNA.  Are these kids from the future?  Is that boy
some
cloned hybrid created in this very lab? < Good God, what have I done? >
 

~~~~~~~
< Ok Spike, you can do this.  You've been watching Sunset Beach for
months
now, You can act like a soap vixen, and they always get their way and
never
break a nail or work up a sweat. >  Spike took an unneeded deep breath
and
strode out from his hiding place in full swagger mode.

" Willow, darling there you are," Spike purred sexily.

Percy and Willow both looked up.

" Spike?"  Willow asked surprised to see the vampire here.

" Do you know this guy?"  Percy asked suddenly feeling like his next
conquest
was slipping away.

" Know me," Spike grinned at the dark hair boy and saw the displeasure
cross
his face.

"Is everything all right?  Has something happened?"  Willow babbled
worriedly
that some hell mouthy event had cause Giles to send Spike out to find
her--
to research some way to advert another apocalypse.

" I know we were supposed to meet at your room but I couldn't wait a
moment
longer to see you."  Spike gushed unabashedly.

" Have you been drinking?"  Willow asked shocked at Spike's
sudden-madness.
< Oh no the chip has driven him insane! >

"Willow is this guy bothering you?"  Percy asked hoping to gain some
points
with her when he whipped the floor with this blond pansy.

Spike felt the first twinges of pain behind his eyes.  He wanted to rip
the
slimy bastards' guts out and choke him to death with them.

 Spike laughed again, this time it sounded a bit unconvincing, "Tell
him Red,
tonight is our third month anniversary, and I couldn't wait a moment
longer
to be with you."  Spike leaned down and caught Willow's cheek in his
hand,
titled her head and kissed her; he took advantage of her open-mouthed
surprise to deepen the kiss by exploring her hot mouth with his cool
tongue.

Willow was totally flabbergasted that Spike had shown up here,
pretending
that they were a couple, but nothing prepared her for his kiss.  She
felt her
body shutter when she felt his dexterous tongue tangle with hers.  She
moaned
into his mouth and grabbed the back of his head and began to explore
his sexy
mouth.

< Why didn't she mention she had a new boyfriend, when she agreed to
meet me?
>  Percy slammed his book shut and gathered up his stuff.  < Why don't
they
get a room, this is a public place for Christ's sakes.

Cordelia managed to ring Wesley.  " Have you any idea where the hell Angel
is?"

" Cordelia, is that you?"  Wesley asked clearing his throat.

" Duh, who else would be calling you at home?"  She said sarcastically.  "
Listen, I'm over at the office and he's not home and he left his phone and
beeper here and I've had the worst day an audition for a personal hygiene
product and can you believe they said I wasn't convincing enough."  She
complained.

"Er.. Yes, well perhaps you would like to talk about it over dinner?"  He
offered hopefully.

" My head is killing me cause I had the worst vision ever in the supermarket
and totally lost control of my shopping cart and was so.. embarrassed when my
cart hit this display of paper towels.. but I did meet this cute guy who
asked me out."  She babbled until interrupted by Wesley

" Vision, why don't you tell me about the vision?"  Wesley asked feeling sure
that his years of watcher schooling would enable him to decode the mystery.

"It was awful, yucky, Willow and Buffy were all sweaty and fat in this bright
clinic place and they were grunting and yelling something fierce and I saw
all these people round in masks?"  She said.

" I see, well perhaps we should alert them as to your vision.  What kind of
mask?"  Wesley asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Forrest glared at the boy who sat on the cot scowling back at him, emerald
eyes, feral like a panther.  <Staring contest with a kid. >  Forrest watched
as Chance nervously clenched and unclenched his jaw making his chiseled
cheeks more prominent.

<  I need to get to Jinx before she shoots her mouth off like a fusion
dynamo, or worse, decides to get all slay happy with the soldiers.  I need to
get us both home.  Hell, I bet mum doesn't even know we've gone. But when she
notices she'll call Angel and then he'll hunt me down for taking Jinx along
and kill me. Like I could leave her alone for a minute without getting into
some sort of trouble.  I need to grab her do a translocation spell-damn I
don't have enough power back yet to get us back to our home.  If I hadn't had
to use magic here-I can get us to Angel in the *here and now*, Let Jinx weave
a little of her own feminine magic she has her Dad so wrapped, put him off
long enough till I am at full strength and then back to our time-without the
info I need to save him. He's dying and she's likely to curl up and die right
along with him.  Damn! >

"Listen, I'll turn the rats back into their human form, if you let me see
Jinx."  Chance offered. < The spell only last 48 hours anyway but let them
think I'm giving them something.

"Dr. Kessel do you think it could be possible that those kids are clones of
some sort?" Maggie asked the scientist.  " Could that explain their human DNA
and also account for demon like powers?"

" Ms. Walsh, you are aware of the true agenda of the initiative."  Dr. Kessel
replied in lecture mode. " The soldiers think it is about making the world
safe from evil.

Maggie nodded affirmatively, " Yes, they risk live and limb to make the world
a better place.  They do as they are told capture the demons.  The tests, the
implants, they have been told occur to learn more about destroying and
controlling the demons.  They know nothing about the samples of DNA we have
collected from the students."  Maggie looked at Riley on the monitor.
"Would they be willing to risk their life if they knew that we were cross
matching human DNA samples to create controlled demon warriors.  If they knew
we were exploring the boundaries of death and mortality with the vampire's to
prolong human life?
Thank you doctor.  Kessel left the office.  Maggie moved to the intercom.  I
want two reconnaissance teams assembled from section 319, stat." Maggie
watched her protégé Riley talk to the dark haired girl who resembled Buffy
Summers.  < You're not going to like this at all I'm afraid. >

~~~~~

Giles was seething.  < How dare they bring their sexual escapades into my
bed?  The nerve! >  A very embarrassed Angel wearing   * borrowed* sweat
pants and shirt of Giles moved silently down the stairs followed by an angry
Xander and a smirking Ayna.

" Sit!"  Giles commanded, a vein in his temple throbbed wildly.

"No, separately" Giles ordered as he enunciated each syllable he motioned
Ayna off Xander's lap towards the couch where Angel sat.

"Listen G-man, I'm sorry we were using your house for ... but HE WASN'T PART
OF IT!"  Xander yelled moving of the chair to get in Angel face.

" I can explain," Angel said softly.  < I hope I can explain lives may be in
danger. >

~~~~~~~~

Forrest brought the two soldiers, AKA rat into the cell.  "  Ok, lets see you
change em back and then I'll let you see the girl."

"I want to have her with me, not look at her, understand?"  Chance clarified
pursing his lips tightly.

Forrest nodded.

"You best take em out of their cage, it could hurt em when they transform."
Chance suggested.

< Great, I hate rats! >  Forrest dumped his two rodent comrades upon the
floor and they began to scurry round.

Chance spoke the incantation and in a whirl of light two naked men stood
blinking.

Chance stood leaning against the wall.  < Damn, I'm weaker than I thought. >

Riley lead Jinx in as the two dazed soldiers left the cell.  Jinx rushed
forward to embrace Chance.  He hugged her and said "hang on we're leaving."

"Oh Shit!"  Forrest yelled as the two kids disappeared in a blast of blinding
white light.

Across town, Giles in full lecture mode was interrupted by the two time
travelers.   The two youths stood in the middle of Giles living room.  Jinx
held up a very weak Chance.

Angel reacting with prenatural speed was up out of his chair before the
light transformed into two kids.  The slight dark haired girl quickly
untangled herself from her friends' embrace and flew at Angel.

" Oh Daddy," she cried throwing herself into his arms.
*****
The sudden flash of blinding light startled Giles, Xander and Ayna into

silence.  Angel was moving toward the potential threat even before it
materialized.  The phone began its shrill ringing at that very moment.
Two
young teens stood hugging one another in the middle of Giles living
room.
The petit dark haired girl moved quickly towards Angel.  Giles caught
sight
of the girl, < why she looks just like Buffy! >  The dark haired
doppelganger
cried  " Daddy!" just before embracing Angel.

The phone continued to ring.  Chance blinked and without Jinx helping
hold
him up  he staggered and fell to the floor loosing consciousness before
his
head hit the floor.

"Oh, Daddy, Thank goodness Chance was able to get us out of there I
don't
know what they had planned!" she prattled, burying her dark head in
Angel's
chest.

The adults were all frozen in place.  Jinx, heard the thump and using
her
slayer reflexes pushed away from Angel and took up a fighting stance.
Her
eyes saw her best friend collapsed on the floor.  " Chance!" she cried
and
was kneeling by his side.

" Buffy?"  Angel whispered in disbelief at this vision.

" Don't just stand there like statues, help me get him on the couch."
Jinx
ordered.

Xander and Giles moved cautiously forward.  Xander pointed at Chance, "
He..
He.. He.." hiccuped like he was hyperventilating.

" He looks a lot like Spike."  Ayna finished his sentence.

The phone continued its shrill ringing.

Angel was kneeling across from the Buffy-look - alike, he placed his
hands on
the red-haired boys who did share a spooky resemblance to his childe,
lifted
him and placed him upon the now empty couch.

Jinx looked  in Angel's eyes for the first time.  She saw confusion and

uncertainty, missing was the love she had always seen before.

" Daddy, I'm sorry Chance and I suprised you and your guest," she
glanced
about the room her eyes landing on a handsome older man who looked very
pale.
 A dark haired young man was pointing and his mouth was agape and a
young
woman was trying to soothe the man.

"Do I know you?"  Angel asked his voice barely above a whisper.

Jinx looked into her father's face again, < Oh Damn, this isn't 2017! >
Her
eyes then darted quickly about the room taking in the faces once more.
< I've
seen them before on several old CD holo's of Willow's along with my
mother.
But they all died the same night she did.. but they are still alive..
She's
still alive.. Now!>

"My name is Jinx, and this here is Chance." She replied her mind
reeling at
the possibility that she might actually be able to meet her mother,
spend
time with friends of her mother, and her Dad together.  Jinx smiled, "
Where's.. Buffy?"  She asked.
~~~~~
Buffy was heaving once again into the pink Rubbermaid wastebasket.   I
feel
so damn nauseous, I'm beginning to wonder if some recent demon I slayed

poisoned me.  Giles had the nerve to ask me earlier tonight if I could
be
pregnant.  I told him no way.  That one time with Parker we used
protection
and it was such a mistake.. and I had my period after and as much as I
like
Riley he and I haven't, after the hurt caused by the Parker, I realized
how
much I still love Angel and sleeping with Riley wouldn't be right.
Buffy
sighed and lay back down upon her bed.    Her mind thought back to
Parker,
she had her period, but that was over two months ago.  Yeah but
Willow's
explained that her cycle was messed up too, she said something about
dorm
living and that she and I living in such close proximity would begin
synchronous cycles or something.. , like that. Well she promised Giles
that
she would see a doctor on Monday.
~~~~~~

"No one is answering the phone at Giles," Wesley commented a bit
anxiously.

"Well, this is getting creepy, cause Angel's gone, like he vanished
into thin
air.  His bed is unmade, and he is so anal he never leaves things
untidy, and
his cell phone and beeper are downstairs too."  Cordelia reported as
she
began pacing in the small office.  " This can't be a good omen."

" No, that vision you had is rather alarming, Buffy and Willow can both
be in
danger."  Wesley hypothesized.

" Duh," Cordelia snapped, < I mean I don't really care for either one
of
those girls but still. >  She shuttered as she heard their screams of
pain in
her head.
~~~~~

 He had been fighting his feelings for her for months. Hell, if he was
honest
with himself he had wanted to turn her the night he had kidnapped her
and the
annoying punk. He should have done it then.  But no, he was still all
hung up
with Dru. Then there was the master plan to get the gem of Amara,
defeat the
stupid slayer and turn Willow to be his fire Goddess.    He was foiled
at
every turn, first by the blond bimbo then the hair gelled wonder.    By
the
time he sought her out again he had been *implanted* and was impotent
as a
demon. His plans were scraped once again.

So he did what Spike does best, take advantage of a bad situation to
turn
things round to suit him.   The stupid humans didn't question his going
to
ask them for help.   Hell, if they were half as smart as they thought
they
were, they would realize he would have never gone to the Slayer to ask
for
help.   He would have robbed a blood bank first, or continued to use
Harmony
to aid him, well perhaps not that insipid git--drove him insane.  So he

sought ought the gang when he knew she would be there.

 Spike trusted his instincts; they had kept him undead for 126 years.
He
risked a lot, as the Slayer could have staked his arse right then, but
he
knew she wouldn't allow it.  He knew that she was taken with him too,
perhaps
she didn't want to admit it, but Spike felt it.   He had to put up with
a lot
of shit, so he could be closer to her, to wait for an opportunity.
Since
then he had become the unwilling  * neutered* mascot of the gang, his
initial
feelings of desire bloomed into respect and genuine affection for her
as a
mortal.  He wasted precious time listening to her moan and cry about
the dog
boy, and him being all  *poof* like himself, worrying that he wasn't
either
demon or man enough for the likes of her.  But tonight after seeing her
about
to take up with a stupid moron with muscles he knew he needed to claim
her no
matter what the consequences.

He so badly wanted to rip the sod's eyeballs out for looking at her,
pull off
his fingers one by one for daring to touch her. He knew the implant
would
prevent it.  So he used the old Spike charm and sex appeal.  He saw at
first
the alarm and confusion in her eyes when he approached her. Worried
always
about the others, putting their needs above her own. Look at her all
flush
and glowing.   She was oblivious to her own beauty. The college boy saw
it.
The pup was willing to fight for her, I have to give him credit for
that at
least, but I knew I couldn't hold my own, not like *this*.  So I did
what any
self-respecting male, human or demon would do, I kissed her.

Her scent, the softness of her lips, the heat of her mouth, her taste.
He
felt light headed, intoxicated.  His tongue sought out her warm recess,

caressing her hot flesh, catching her surprised gasp.  He moved one
hand to
cup the back of her head, his hand seeking her silky red flames.  His
other
hand touching her slim waist, pulling her upright and forward.  Drawing
her
between his denim clad legs, wanting to feel her, all of her pressed
intimately against him.

Willow was breathless.  Seeing him in the library was a surprise.
Willow had
no time to process his affectionate fabrication before he touched her
face
and pressed his sexy lips against hers.  Definite sparkage, his lips
surprisingly soft, his tongue exploring her with bold strokes.  She
moaned,
softly at his ardor, and unconsciously reached out to grab for purchase
as
her body shuttered with need for him.  Cool skin, soft hair, hard
chest.  <
His tongue teasing mine, Oh Goddess I love when he does that *thing*
down…>
Willow's eyes flew wide open at the carnal thought. < No one's every
put
their tongue  *down there* so where did that thought come from? >  She
released her hold on the back of his neck and shifted her other arm
round
from his back to push against his chest.  " Spike," she rasped huskily.
 "
What's going on?"
