Angel watched Lilah, his eyes narrowing as Lilah started to help herself to a cup of coffee. He decended the rest of the stairs and slapped the papers he was holding on the desk. "I don't know Lilah, from where I'm standing, you're not the one to judge if anything is decent or not, so why don't you cut the small talk and tell me why you're here?"
He listened to her lecture, his look suspicious. What she was saying sounded absolutely ridiculous to him. "So you're telling me, that the Powers sent you here to fight the apocalypse. Somehow I find that extremely hard to believe." He glanced Xander, and said under his breath, "Believe me nothing good can come out of any resurrection involving her." He glared at Lilah again, not at all finding any humor to her last comment. "Sorry, no vacancies." He crossed his arms over his chest. "How about you give me a good reason why I shouldn't kick you out of here and show you what being a free agent really means."

"Thats cute Angel...real cute. This hotel hasn't been busy in years, so you can't find room for an old friend? If you kick me out, then you lose, it's simple. They sent me back for a reason..I worked at Wolfram & Hart very closely, I know their inns and their outs. I can be a major asset to your team."
Lilah grabs the coffee and sits back down at the couch and puts her hands out. "So whats the plan...boss?"

(Lol. I love the relationship Lilah and Angel have)
"Hey Angel, I need to talk..." but before he could finish, Lilah was already into this big speech about the apocolypse and yada yada yada. To Xander this was a bunch of bull. He's heard of Wolfram and Hart before and he couldn't believe that Angel was assoicating with them. Xander watched in awe as Lilah and Angel argued. He knew he wasn't going to get a word in so he went and made himself at home on the couch. And if this apocolypse is real, well he's here so he might as well help.

Angel glanced at Xander, seeing him take a seat on the couch. Xander was a refreshing sight from Sunnydale past, but he wish he'd had better timing. For now, he had to deal with Lilah.
"The reason you just gave? Not good enough. I think it was the part where you put 'worked at Wolfram & Hart very closely' and 'asset to my team' in the same token." He advanced towards her, standing over her, his eyes intense.
"So the plan is you start doing some explaining. Why are you really here? Why should I even consider trusting you?"

"Oh! Your relationship is just business, so no sex involved?" Xander was starting to get this. "Well my problem isn't nearly as big and annoying as yours" he said and pointed to Lilah, Buffy can take care of herself, he better not metion her or Angel would be off to Sunnydale now, besides Xander was finding this amusing. "Yeah that sounds like a great idea, Lilah. Start explaining." He was finding himself more ammused every second.

Lilah places the coffee on the table and slouches onto the couch next to Xander. "I have told you Angel, I was sent back to assist you in stopping the Senior Partners. I am a changed woman, do you honestly think I would wear these clothes if I had a choice?" Lilah motions to her body, showing the clothes someone could pick up from a charity centre.
"I know more than anyone about the Senior Partners...If you don't use me you stand no chance of defeating them. They will send minion after minion after you and your gang. Even Wesley's books can't save you now." Lilah takes a sip of the coffee, then noticing Angel's impatient look, she quickly swallows and puts it back on the table gently.
"There is a way to slow them down...We can go secretly into Wolfram & Hart and and retrieve the crystal of Ommav, which is used for summoning...Deadly stuff if you ask me...But before we go on our lovely little adventure like old times, I'm going to go get changed, giving you time to catch up with Mr.Romance"
Lilah gets up and proceeds up the steps to the rooms. "Room 59 was it?" Lilah continues, smirking at the discontented Angel.

"I really don't like her" Xander smiles at Angel. "Well, I came here....Wait what did she mean by Mr. Romance? Nevermind, I came here because I had a problem, but like I said, it's nearly not as big as yours. So if you need any help, I'm here."

"Yeah start explaining and--" He paused when Xanders words start to register. He took a double take between Xander and Lilah. "Wait, sex?" He looked at Xander. "What exactly has Lilah been telling you?"
But then Lilah started explaining. Angel just glared at her clothes comment, thinking she'd better come up with a better answer, and fast. Lilah continued, talking about the plan Wolfram & Hart had for Angel and something about the crystal of Ommav. Before he could question further, Lilah went up the stairs.
Angel started to pace the floor a bit, thinking. The Senior Partners and Wolfram & Hart always seemed to have made Angel their little project. They made no efforts to kill him, only toy with him. That much he could tell. So why all of a sudden were they so eager to have him dead. Of course, the apocalypse wasn't exactly new news, so that couldn't be the reason. Angel was more inclined to believe Lilah was pulling the wool over his eyes. But this crystal...he'd never heard of it. Great. Good time to give the team the day off. Wesley would've been a great help at the moment.
He stopped his momentary pacing and looked at Xander, and softened his expression. "So you have a problem." He smiled a little, glad to see a familiar face from the past. "You came all the way from Sunnydale?" He realized what a strange conversation just occurred and based on Xander's comment, he thought it was just as strange. "Oh it's no problem. Here it's not normally like this...well, it is like this but more...." He paused, his expression uneasy. "Coffee?"

Lilah reappears from upstairs, in what looks to be Cordelia's clothes. "I'll have a coffee Angel, as long as it taste better than the crap I had before...no wonder you get no business here..."
Lilah then walks into Wesley's office and surveys the area, then starts browsing through a book. "As Wes isn't here today, I guess I will just have to do his job for him".

He remember the look on Lilah's face when she tasted the coffee, "ah no thanks" he kindly rejected. "Never mind about my problem, if you want I can do some research on the om, whatever its called. He was hoping Angel would decline his, he's in LA for crying out loud. There's better things to do then research, that's all he seems to do in Sunnydale as well. "So what's been happening in LA, since you left Sunnydale?" Xander tried to make a friendly conversation, so Angel wouldn't remember about his offer to do research. He saw Lilah return from down stairs to do some reasearch. "Oh! my jobs done."

Lilah picks up a few books and moves over to Xander. "Hey Mr.Romance, you start with these, seeing as you were so anxious to help us." Lilah smiles, dumping a couple of thick books onto Xander's lap. At least now I can go and relax on the couch for a while.
Lilah thumps onto the coucn, and cocks her legs up, and starts grinning.

Damn! Xander thought. "I could probably do with that coffee now Angel" He said, "from across the street" he said aburtly to stop him from getting him a crappy cup of coffee. Xander hesantly flipped the book open, and began reading.
For the next hour time seemed to go annoyingly slow. Page by page, book by book and he still couldn't find what he was looking for.

Angel was distracted a moment by Lilah coming down the stairs in what looked like Cordy's clothing. He wanted to start towards Lilah but Xander started talking again. He could barely hear what Xander was saying. Just thinking about Cordy in the coma and Lilah, of all people, helping herself to her possessions, infuriated him. But he continued to try and listen to Xander. He had come in all the way from Sunnydale after all, something must be up. And if it was about Buffy...
Lilah returned from Wes' office with a pile of books and his attention was back on Lilah's clothing. "You touch anything of Cordelia's again, Lilah, I don't care who you sent you....I'll make sure to send you back where you came from." His voice was low.
He saw they were rummaging through books and Angel thought this was just unbelievably ridiculous. Angel grabbed the books in Lilah's hands and threw them to the floor. "You haven't answered my question, Lilah. Why should I trust anything you have to say? You're sending me after wild goose chase for some crystal...how do I know that this isn't a trap? Why is it that all of a sudden Wolfram and Hart decided to stop using me as their little science project?"

Lilah got off the couch abrupty, and began watching Xander research. She started smirking, then got up and took the books away from him. She listens intently as Angel starts attacking her again, and throws the books she held to the floor.
I forgot how cautious Angel was...I should of realised it would take more convincing. "I think I have every right to wear these clothes, considering it was Cordelia who stabbed me in the neck in the first place." Lilah then paced around the room.
"A trap? Angel, when will you start trusting me? I know we have a sketchy history, but I was sent to help you....That's why I will be coming with you to Wolfram & Hart. We can leave this guy behind, or kick him out, it doesn't bother me."

Xander was starting to feel a little awakard. He stood up and walked up the stairs, he hated being around when people are arguing. At the top of the stairs he made it around the corner, so he was out of sight. He hated being around people when the fight, but he loves eavesdropping. He crouched down to the floor and listened.
