Angel: what happened next

Bane brought Max to San Fransisco, where she would meet Bane's employer. He led her to a
non-descript building on the outskirts of town, where he led her down into the basement.

"Hello. You must be Max Guavara." Said a voice. "You may not have heard of me, but rest assured
that we have the same goals." Max turned towards the voice, and a man stepped out of the shadows.
"My name is Angel. Welcome to the team."

(For those of you who don't know, Angel was an entirely
too short-lived Buffy spinoff starring David Boreanaz, James Marsters, Alexis Denisof, J. August Richards,
Andy Hallett, and Amy Acker, along with many, many, others. It was also one of the worst series endings
in the history of television. Horrible as it was, it was also very open. This story is my spin on what happe-
ned next. Enjoy.)

Another man came in, his platinum blonde hair bloody. "Fanged git." He said.
"Nearly ripped me in half before i'd even laid hands on im!"

"This is Spike." Angel said. "Hello,
sweet thing." Spike said, giving Max's body a long, sweeping glance.

"Careful Spike, this one'll kill you given the chance!" Bane laughed.

"Careful, I might have to take you up on that offer. Been awhile since I had a good tumble."
Spike replied, with a wry look at Max.

"Come to think of it, I may have heard of you, Angel."
Max said, ignoring Spike. "Not long ago, a bunch of people came from L.A. saying that they had seen dragons,
demon hordes and all kinds of other weird shit. Didn't think much of it at the time, but a few days
after that, a damn lawyer from Wolfram & Hart showed up on my doorstep, saying that my problems
with Manticore could go away if I helped them find a vampire named Angel. needless to say, I sent him away
with a few broken bones and more than a few bruises."

"Figures." said a tall, black man, who stepped into the room. "I knew the Senior Partners would'nt
let us go that easy. Hiring skilled people like you was the next logical step. Name's Charles Gunn."
He said.

"After we destoyed the Circle of the Black Thorn, Hell rained down on us. Dragons, Demons,
the whole kebash. Leveled a good 4-5 thousand of them too." Spike said.

"But Gunn was already wounded,
so we somehow managed to escape. Luck, I think, or something else was on our side, because we ran across
Wyatt and Chris Halliwell, and they used a powerful spell to take us off the Senior Partners radar, permanently."
Angel said. "Our escape was not clean, however. 1 of our people, Wesley Wyndham-Pryce, was killed in a
fight against a powerful sorceror..."

"Sorry to interuupt, but why the hell am I here?" Interuupted Max.
"I mean your life story is fascinating, but why did you go through all the trouble of bringing me here?"

"As I was saying, one of us was killed during our ****, but we plan to bring him back." Angel continued.

"Back? I thought you said he was dead." Max said. "He is, but sometimes **** doesn't stick. The
reason we brought you here is to bring Wesley back, there is an ancient artifact, one we need your help
to attain. Only someone with your unique skill set will be able to get it. Spike's going too, so no need to
worry about backup."
