It was two month later that the six found a house in LA that was big enough for all of them
They began to pack their things after they discovered the abuse Xander had lived through.

Now it was time they found a hotel which Angel bought immediately.

The Hyperion.

They all were busy as suddenly the front door swings open to reveal a man in his early thirties with brown hair and green eyes.

"I'm looking for someone called Angel. Do you know him?" he asked careful as everyone stood there in a defensive stance.

"Why are you looking for him?" asked Xander.

"I have a message from the PTB to deliver. I'm a seer and have to help the new Champion to gain his redemption in order to get mine." He answered truthfully.

By this time Angel and Spike could tell that the man in front of them not only spoke the truth but was also a half demon.

"I'm Angel. Why are you in need of redemption. You don't seem like a guy that has murdered or such things." Asked Angel careful

Doyle was a bit shy when it came to his live but told them everything and in exchange he was told the basics how the six got to LA and what happened before they got the message of the powers.

After a while they founded an agency to help people and earn the money to pay for everything. Willow went to college, Oz had his new band and other jobs, Giles bought a shop for magical things, Xander worked construction and helped with Giles` shop, Doyle got the nasty visions and head splitting headaches while helping Spike and Angel with the cases.

They were all to busy to do much research and the files from the cases where in chaos.

They solved this problem with a simple trick, they hired a secretary.

Had they known who they would get they would have made the work themselves.

So the next morning there stood a enthusiastic young woman in front of Doyle and asked about the job.

He was fascinated by her, she was polite and beautiful but also had a wicked sense of humor.

He called for the rest of the Gang and introduced her. What he hadn't foreseen was that Xander would go to her and embrace her.

"Cordy it's so good to see you! How are you? You were suddenly gone after all that happened in Sunnyhell and we were worried! Don't ever do this again ok?" Xander babbled and didn't see the look of surprise on Cordelias face.

"What is it with you Xander? I thought you would be glad to see me gone because of the way I treated you back then..." she answered a bit shy

"Cordy you are a friend to us. You helped us to survive and thought that we were gonna hate you because you thought that you had to play a role!?" he asked weakly.

That was when Cordy began to cry and hug everyone, including Doyle. She was impressed by the way this man seems to be a part of the gang already and he was best friend with Spike.

Cordy couldn't know that she was more earnest and showed more of her feeling than any other time before because of the fact that Xander was near.

They discovered a few weeks ago that not only Xander was a Warlock but also an empath and had telepathic and telekinetic talents. These powers were only basic but with the help of Giles and his mate Ethan they were further developed and built up in strength.

Since three weeks ago Ethan was part of the gang as well, due to the fact that he rescued Giles and Xander as they fought a nasty demon which got unexpected help from others. He had heard the scream Giles let loose as the demon grabbed Xander and Giles was knocked down.

Immediately Ethan was there and used his Chaos magic to destroy the demons and brought them home to the Hyperion.

From then they got along better and slowly discovered their old love for each other.
Since two days they were together and lived in the same room.

Cordy was happy that she now had people she knew around her and became best friends with Willow. She was the new Secretary and brought a order to the office that nobody would touch the files when she wasn't there.

Everyone seemed to be happy.

With the exception of Xander he had nobody to hold him, to speak to freely, to love him.
His problem was that after the return of Angel from hell he fell in love with the broody vampire. But not only that, no he had to fall for the blond one too. The only thing he wanted back then was for the two to be happy and they seemed to be with each other.

What he didn't know was the fact that the two said vampires were already planning the seduction of him.
