6x07: SKIN

INT. LABORATORY - NIGHT.

'Some time in the not too distant future'

Guards are running around manically, sparks flying from destroyed equipment, bodies mounted up - a burst tank in the middle of the room.

Demons sprawl the grounds as Dr. Stein rushes towards a small case

STEIN
Where is it? WHERE IS IT?!

Stein looks up at a balcony to see the sillohuette holding a small object wrapped in a blanket.

STEIN
Noo!

Stein goes to move as a demon claw pulls him away. The figure watches for a moment before dissapearing through an airvent.

PRESENT DAY...

INT. HYPERION – NIGHT.

HARMONY comes wondering in with bags and bags of shopping, Nina comes skipping over a little angsty

NINA
Have you seen Angel?

HARMONY
Um, I’ve had the day off… I got bored so I came to show off my clothes.

NINA
That’s nice. Um, they went out on a mission or something about two hours ago and…

HARMONY
You’re panicking already? Please. Angel once went to Italy for a mission, that was only two months after popping over to England – he’s very global. Did he say where he was going?

NINA
The college

HARMONY
(beaming)
With Connor?

NINA
I think so…

HARMONY
We should panic, come on let’s go find them…

(O.S) VOICE
Excuse me…

BOTH
Yes?

MAN
Is this Angel investigations?

The girls look at each other nervously before flashing awkward smiles at the man

CUT TO.

EXT. ALLEYWAY – NIGHT.

ILLYRIA remains on the floor, eyes blue, skin blue, hair like Freds. She is shaking as two figures step towards her.

A man, the attacker, is stood over her – he pulls off his face mask and hands the knife to another man – the blade flashes a green shimmer as he hands it to him.

MAN
Load her up

The attacker lifts her as she passes out completely, he carries her over to a parked van at the dead end (opposite to the carnival) and throws her in the back with a team of six armed men.

EXT. ROADSIDE – NIGHT

WESLEY and ATHENA are still surrounded by the infected students.

WESLEY
(over noises)
They’ve obviously spread further than we thought – they’ve had time to seek us out

ATHENA
Wow, no wonder they call you the brains
(off look)
You up for a fight?

WESLEY
I don’t think now is the time to… oh, with them.
(beat)
Yes.

They nod at each other and slam the doors outwards, springing out of the car, Athena pulls a knife from her boot

WESLEY
Don’t kill them

ATHENA
Trust me

CUT TO.

INT. BERKLEY and HANSON – NIGHT

GUNN
Last time you said that…

GWEN
Are we getting over that one anytime soon?

GUNN
We may not need too – something tells me these guys aren’t here for a kiss and cuddle

Gunn and Gwen continue to back away

GWEN
Geez, would it be their constant informative ‘you must be destroyed’?

GUNN
That’s one of the things, yeah

GWEN
You know what would be helpful right now?

GUNN
If you say Angel I’m gonna…

GWEN removes her glove and zaps the lock the safe, she throws Gunn inside and follows him, slamming the door behind them.

GUNN
Great Idea super girl! Cept – how are we gon’ get out?

GWEN
Doesn’t matter
(grabs crystal)
Got what we came for

CUT TO.

INT. COLLEGE – NIGHT

ANGEL is sprinting through corridors as Bailey leads the troops after him, picking up speed but never more than walking.

ANGEL
Open space… Open space…

ANGEL spots the football field from the window – he looks back at the pending riot and covers his face before leaping through the glass.

CUT TO.

INT. ????? – NIGHT.

You thought the initiative was fancy well this place makes it look like Harmony’s desk! A huge warehouse full of equipment and buzzing scientists. In the centre – a large tank (think “Splash” the mermaid movie)

In the tank, Illyrias eyes spring open to greet a slim man with grey flicks in his hair, a beard smothering a smug grin and glasses shielding dead eyes.

STEIN
At last we meet

Illyria stares back at him as he paces back and forth past the tank in which she is chained to.

STEIN
I wouldn’t bother fighting it Illyria, my men have ensured that all attempts you make to escape will only weaken you
(smiles)
That’s the wonders of magic these days, you can do pretty much anything you wish to.

ILLYRIA stares at him, shifting her head each time he moves – she doesn’t speak a sound.

STEIN
Why so glum? We’re helping you here, we’re helping the world –
(looks down)
The future may depend on our actions today

ILLYRIA
Your actions are null. Defeat is a word that I have to experience – I plan to keep it this way.

STEIN
Yes. Quite.

STEIN pauses as one of his soldiers marches towards him, removing his mask – it’s GRAEME MILLER.

GRAEME
Sir, the others are in place

STEIN
Including Mr. Pryce?

ILLYRIA
Wesley?

GRAEME
Including, sir.

STEIN
Excellent.

STEIN thinks to himself for a moment before rubbing his chin as he turns to Illyria

STEIN
You’re rather fond of this, Wesley? Such a shame.

Illyria pulls against the chains until a shock is sent down through them, rendering her unconscious

STEIN
(shaking head)
They never learn
END OF PART ONE

EXT. COLLEGE – NIGHT.

ANGEL is holding a large pole – not sharp at either end but hard enough to restrain any of the victims.

ANGEL
Hey Bailey – remember me?

BAILEY
You are the one who causes the suffering. The Suffering shall return to you.

ANGEL
Right but can we talk about…

BAILEY
Punishment has not been submitted. The fates shall take a price. You. Alone. Shall Suffer. Eternally.

ANGEL
Okay, enough with the speeches

Angel bounds towards Bailey and swings the pole towards him, Bailey snaps his hands down and grasps the centre of it, shoving it backwards against Angel and sending him flying

ALL
You do not kill the mother!

Angel scuffles back on his hands as a car comes speeding towards him, breaking just in time. Out of the battered car falls Athena.

ATHENA
Get in

ANGEL
We can’t…

ATHENA
Get. In.

ANGEL jumps into the car, speeding away as Athena closes the door

ANGEL
What’s going on? How come the cars so…

WESLEY
Apparently our little communal virus is a lot more communal than we initially thought

ATHENA
We got stopped on the road by lots of really cranky teenagers

ANGEL
Where’s Connor?

ATHENA
He’s still at the car park. Pretty cool guy if, much unlike his Father, he can answer his cell while he’s fighting
(beat)
Or, at all

CUT TO.

INT. CARPARK – NIGHT

SPIKE and CONNOR are fighting the minions as Connor pauses, he spots Carrie across the carpark with Dominic. He leaps over the crowd as the two pack into a car and speed off.

CONNOR
Spike…

SPIKE
GO!

Spike is literally pummelling the crowds as Connor sprints towards the ledge of the car park, he holds the pillar and spidermans it up to the roof, bounding over to the next building – running along to keep the car in sight.

Wesley’s car is jetting towards Carrie and Dominic, swinging to the side as both cars just miss each other. In one confident stride, Connor hurls himself seven stories, onto the car roof

ANGEL, WESLEY and ATHENA spring out of the car as Connor rips Dominic out of the sun roof, Angel grins

ANGELS
That’s my son!
(points)
Look at him go

ATHENA
It’s a kodak moment

Connor lifts Dominic and rams a stake into him, dusting him as Carrie attempts to release herself from the locked seatbelt

ANGEL
Are you okay?

CARRIE
Help! He’s going to kill me! He’s insane.

Angel raises his eyebrows

ANGEL
He’s tiny.

CARRIE
Please help.

ANGEL
It’s okay-

Angel snaps the seatbelt and snatches Carrie out of the car, he throws her against the wall and lifts an axe out, swinging it right through her neck.

ANGEL
I’ll take care of you

Carrie reverts to her demon form as her mutilated body falls to the floor.

CONNOR
How did…

ANGEL
You can just tell these things. Nice moves.

CONNOR
You too

WESLEY
When you two are ready…

CUT TO.

INT. CARPARK – NIGHT

ANGEL, ATHENA, WESLEY and CONNOR leap out of the car to see Spike smoking a cigarette. All the people have frozen as they were.

CONNOR
What happened?

SPIKE
Dunno, not complainin’ though

ANGEL
Wes?

WESLEY
I guess killing their mother prevented them from existing, they’re effectively corpses

CONNOR
Bailey?

WESLEY
No. As far as I can see the human aspects are still alive
(to Athena)
We need that crystal to remove the infection

Things fall silent as the elevator pings. Gwen and Gunn speedily walk out, freezing as they see the gang

ANGEL
Gunn

GUNN
What are you guys…
(at demon people)
Oh

WESLEY
Gwen.

GWEN
Hey

WESLEY
Gwen, is that crystal…

GWEN
Mine? Correct.

ATHENA
That’s the crystal

GUNN
What crystal?

ANGEL
Connor’s class mates got infected by a demon, apparently that crystal is the only thing that will remove it

GUNN
Guess that explains why we were attacked by a bunch of these dudes at Berkley and Hanson

ATHENA
Told ya

WESLEY
I told you actually

ATHENA
Whatever. I was right.

GWEN
Hello! Not using the crystal – this thing is worth 7 million dollars, it’s only worth 4 without it’s power

CONNOR
Can I have one?

SPIKE
Me too!

GUNN
Gwen…

GWEN stares at GUNN hard.

GWEN
Gunn

GUNN
These are innocent people, kids

CONNOR
HEY!
(beat)
I mean, continue, save people

GWEN
Fine. But you owe me. ALL of you

ANGEL
(to Gunn)
Thanks

GUNN starts to walk with Gwen

GUNN
Just deliver it back to us when you’re done

The two continue to walk as Angel watches Gunn leave again.

CUT TO.

INT. HAIR SALON – NIGHT.

The place is empty, still and silent. Darkness buries the walls and the mute of the room is suddenly disrupted by…

OW!

Harmony stands up having just climbed and fallen through the window. She brushes herself off and climbs onto a stool to talk out of the window

HARMONY
Nina?

NINA (O.S)
What?

HARMONY
Argh!

Harmony leaps down from the stool to see Nina who is shining a torch in her eye and holding Angels skeleton key in her hand.

HARMONY
You made me climb through that window for nothing

NINA
I didn’t make you, I just didn’t prevent you

HARMONY
Whatever, okay – let’s just do the job and
(looks around)
Is this the right place?

NINA
The guy said his salon was haunted

HARMONY
Haunted?! I thought he said hunted!

NINA
How can a salon be hunted?

HARMONY
Oh sure, the logic comes out now!

NINA
Can we just do this thing and go back to the hotel? I don’t want to miss Angel

HARMONY
Sounds to me like you already do

NINA
You know what I meant
(beat)
Possibly not

HARMONY
Hey I’m not just some blonde you know!?

NINA
No?

HARMONY
No! I’m a kick ass secretary and a good fighter! I almost broke Hamilton’s neck!

NINA
You almost got everyone killed by sleeping with him and betraying everyone

HARMONY
Picky, picky

NINA
Face it Harmony, you can’t be good

HARMONY
Don’t start with the soul thing! Spike went sort of good before his soul!

NINA
He was forced into vegetarianism, that’s not going good

HARMONY
I could be good!

NINA
Sure, and I could NOT turn into a wolf every month

HARMONY
Hey, have you ever… you know… at the same time?

NINA
What?

HARMONY
Had both “times of the month” at the same time

NINA turns and shines the light directly into Harmony’s eye, she’s not impressed. The two stand there saying nothing as a large clanging is heard

HARMONY
Oh god, what was that?

Nina steps to Harmony’s side

NINA
It’s okay…

Both girls burst into screams as the lights flicker on around them.

CUT TO.

EXT. LOS ANGELES – NIGHT.

The gang are walking the several miles back to the hotel – apparently after monster battering and a crash, cars aren’t going to travel well when holding five people.

ATHENA walks at the back with Angel and Connor just in front of her, Wesley and Spike walk at the front.

ANGEL
You okay?

CONNOR
I’m cool. I should probably get back and check that Bailey isn’t completely in need of therapy

ANGEL
Connor

CONNOR
I know, you’re sorry.

ANGEL
I am

CONNOR
Bai said he spoke with you, he can be helpful however interfering

ANGEL
He’s a good kid.

CONNOR
Tonight was weird – the whole leaping across building and stuff, felt like a real mission you know?

ANGEL
Kinda do

CONNOR
I guess I could get use to it, I don’t know

ANGEL
Nobody’s gonna make you sign up for the team Connor, you do what you’re ready for when you’re ready for it

Connor looks quietly towards the floor

ANGEL
So how are your parents?

CONNOR looks up at Angel who forces a smile

CONNOR
They’re… okay

SPIKE (O.S)
Illyria!

Everyone stops and looks at him like he’s insane as he stares up at the top of a building, waiting for her to jump down

ATHENA
Did he drink off milk again?

SPIKE
She’s around – I can smell her

CONNOR
That is so cool

Wesley edges away from the group quietly, dissapearing down an alley

ATHENA
Guess you’re smelling things, other than your B.O-derant

SPIKE
Funny

Wesley steps back round to the group, horrified, he holds his hand out to Spike – blood is smeared all over it

WESLEY
Is this what you smell?

CUT TO.

INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT

Illyria is still in the tank, she’s looking weaker and weaker, her eyes barely open as a team of armed troops surround the tank.

Scientists are examining blood samples as Stein walks down the stairs looking extremely satisfied.

STEIN
Miller

GRAEME
Sir

STEIN
Begin the next phase – we need to perform the other tasks before it becomes too late.

GRAEME
Sir.

Graeme marches off, following by four troops.

STEIN
Well Illyria…
(smirk)
looks like it’s just the two of us

INT. WESLEYS APARTMENT – NIGHT

ANGEL and WESLEY walk through the door, flicking the light on Angel freezes

WESLEY
I should be able to find her with a simple location spell but…

ANGEL
Wes, we’re not alone

Wesley turns back to Angel – as he looks round again, the two of them have guns pointed from all directions

FADE TO BLACK

FADE IN FROM BLACK

ANGEL
You know, lately I’ve had a real taste for kicking military ass

ANGEL doesn’t even make a move before he is hit with a tranquiliser gun. Wesley freezes to the spot, staring as Angel falls down, he raises his hands.

GRAEME
Mr. Pryce – if you ever want to see Illyria, or the world again – it is in your best interests to join us willingly.

WESLEY
Who are you?

GRAEME
We’ll explain soon enough.

WESLEY
Ah yes, the ever trusty “later you shall know all”

GRAEME
We’re not trying to make things difficult Mr. Pryce – we’re just trying to make things better

WESLEY
Better for who?

CUT TO.

INT. WESLEYS APARTMENT – NIGHT

Time has clearly passed as Gunn comes up to Wesley’s door. Athena is slapping Angel on the face.

GUNN
What’s goin’ on?

ATHENA
You wanna try waking him up?

GUNN swings his hand back and rather willingly slaps Angel across the cheek, smiling as he rouses him

GUNN
You think he needs a real wake up?

ATHENA
Not so much.
(thinks)
Later maybe

ANGEL
(stirring)
Wes…

ATHENA
Angel, what happened?

ANGEL
Gunn? Cordy?

Athena steps back a bit, Angel wakes up more.

ANGEL
Athena. Wh- Where’s Wesley?

Angel is suddenly alert to his feet as he looks around for his friend.

GUNN
Calm down.

ANGEL
What are you doing here?

GUNN
Came to see a friend about a thing

ANGEL
Did you see Wesley? Did he go with them?

ATHENA
Go with who? Angel! You need to calm down!

ANGEL
The Initiative… or something like them…

GUNN
Those army dudes?

ANGEL
Did you see them?

GUNN
NO but, why would Wes…?

ANGEL
They have Illyria

ATHENA looks lost in herself as she holds her stomach

GUNN
Athena?

ATHENA
I’m fine. We should… can we find them?

ANGEL
Spike’s got a scent for Illyrias blood now. We should call him. Gunn, are you in?

GUNN
I’m in. For Wes.

CUT TO.

INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT

Wesley comes down the stairs, closely guarded by Graeme and the other soldiers. He is bought up to Stein.

STEIN
Mr. Pryce

WESLEY
Wyndham-Pryce

STEIN
Yes. Well.
(pause)
My name is Frederick Stein and don’t think I haven’t had all the F.Stein jokes because I really have

WESLEY
I guess it’s good that I’m not in the mood for humour then isn’t it?

STEIN
I suppose it is. Do you know why you’re here?

WESLEY
Where’s Illyria?

STEIN
Ah, so she is the reason that you came without a fight – you really do care for it.

WESLEY
Where is she?

STEIN
She?

WESLEY
Illyria

STEIN moves aside to reveal a withered Illyria, floating in a tank

ILLYRIA
(faint)
Wesley

WESLEY leaps forward only to be zapped by Stein, holding a stun gun. Wesley crumbles to the floor holding his stomach – he has watered eyes and a red face as he stares at her.

FLASH TO WHITE

FRED
I won’t let them get me…

FLASH TO WHITE

Wesley closes his eyes as a single tear squeezes out

WESLEY
What do you want from me?

STEIN
To change your future

CUT TO.

INT. HAIR SALON – NIGHT

Harmony and Nina are still screaming in the middle of the room as several objects begin to fly around them

CUT TO.

EXT. LOS ANGELES – NIGHT

SPIKE and ATHENA stop at a sewer entrance – the last trace of either Wesley or Illyria

SPIKE
Nothing like an underground holding cell for the bloody initiative

ATHENA
You’re sure it’s them?

SPIKE
It all fits, cept the Wesley part – maybe he’s bait

Athena looks with concern before pulling out her phone.

INT. GWENS APARTMENT – NIGHT

GUNN is stood next to Angel and Gwen as they examine blue prints of the underground of Los Angeles.

GUNN
We’re on our way

GUNN hangs up the phone and turns to Angel and Gwen

GUNN
It’s lead underground – this map isn’t giving anything away

GWEN
Strange that these secret operations don’t advertise

ANGEL
Where are they?

GUNN
Meeting us on the 54/23 tunnel.

Angel heads to the door before turning to Gwen

GWEN
I’m going to charge you guys soon

CUT TO.

INT. SEWERS – NIGHT

GWEN
Double time! This is disgusting

SPIKE
What’s the matter? Can’t handle a little sewage

GWEN
Not really a day job

SPIKE
Try having super sensitive smelling

GWEN
See now if I had that, I would never be able to be around you…

SPIKE
Why’s that? The whiff of perfection overbaring?

GWEN
You smell like dead people

SPIKE
Ouch.

ANGEL
Guys, focus

ATHENA begins tagging back, a nervous look on her face she walks rather quickly towards a tiny side tunnel, she observes the others before pushing a door in the tunnel.

ATHENA
Guys, down here.

Everyone stops and moves back to her

ANGEL
How did you find that?

ATHENA
Lucky guess

GUNN
Let’s go

SPIKE
Um, not to poop on the party but…

The gang turn to see four large demon guards – all wired up, blocking both exits.

GWEN
I can do this.

SPIKE
Take’s two to tango. You three go.

ANGEL
Come on

ANGEL, GUNN and ATHENA crawl into the tiny space, leading through to a gradually bigger space in which they can stand – a door is there with a security code on it.

ATHENA
I’ll do it

GUNN
And set off the alarms? I don’t think so

ATHENA
Security locks are easy, they think that we all think simple codes are too obvious, so they always go with them.

Athena keys in 001234, the door unlatches.

GUNN
Check you out

ANGEL eyes Athena up and down before following her inside.

CUT TO.

INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT.

WESLEY is now in the same tank as Illyria – wires attaching them together – both their heads are just above water level.

WESLEY
Illyria

ILLYRIA
Mmph

WESLEY
If you can hear me… I have to say we’re going to get out of this alive

ILLYRIA slowly lifts her head, her eyes flickering open.

ILLYRIA
Wesley.

WESLEY
Yes, it’s me

ILLYRIA
They…

WESLEY
Shh…

Under the water, Wesley reaches his hand out and takes hold of Illyria’s. They link together, floating in the water as sparks literally pass between them.

STEIN (O.S)
Separate at once

He triggers the zap which forces them apart

STEIN
DO you not understand how unpredictable Illyria is! Any form of contact between the two of you could trigger it

WESLEY
Trigger what?

STEIN
The creation

WESLEY
Creation of what?

STEIN
The two of you – together, it’s practically written that it will deliver your spawn! A being so unpredictable and powerful that being born into the real world could end everything as we know it.

WESLEY
How do I know you’re not making this all up?

STEIN
You don’t. But I am telling you that unless the two of you are permanently sterilised both medically and mystically then you WILL have a child and unless that child is kept in controlled conditions it could be any number of things.
(pause)
Your wisdom and world knowledge combined with the power of an old one and the instability of your home life could cause a greater disaster than Connor’s original life

WESLEY
What do you know about Connor?

ANGEL (O.S)
That he’s never going near him

STEIN turns around to see ANGEL throwing Graeme off the edge of a balcony. Athena and Gunn are either side of him.

STEIN
You!

ANGEL
Me

Angel jumps down and springs towards Stein, hurling him across the room

CUT TO.

INT. SEWERS – NIGHT.

GWEN
This isn’t working

SPIKE
Come on bright spark, you’re harder than that

Spike slams a demon into the wall

GWEN pauses before staring at her hands and peeling her gloves off.

CUT TO.

INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT.

Angel prowls towards a crawling Stein and turns him around, grabbing him by the collar he smacks him in the face.

ANGEL
Never. Ever. Breathe my sons name. Never touch my friends and NEVER come into MY city with some crappy military scheme.

STEIN
You don’t understand! The world needs you to save it in the final battle – this being, whatever they create, it will destroy you before the end.

ATHENA steps back

FLASH TO WHITE

A child is wired up in the tanks

FLASH TO WHITE

Stein looks over Angels shoulder at a fearful Athena.

CUT TO.

INT. SEWERS – NIGHT.

GWEN slams her hands into the water, electricity flying everywhere.

CUT TO.

INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT

ANGEL begins to turn to see what Stein is staring at as all of the lights flicker off around them.

ANGEL
Gunn, get Wesley.

GUNN charges through towards Wesley as an emergency light comes on – guards begin to flood out. Angel grabs a wire and ties stein to the outside of the tank.

ANGEL
Stick around.

GUNN beats up most of the pending guards as Angel and Athena take on the others. Gunn looks over to see the water level in Wesley’s tank is increasing. He grabs his cell phone from his pocket and hurls it as the glass full force – the tank shatters as the water floods out.

ATHENA
Come on!

WESLEY stare up at Athena, baffled as she stands at the top of the stares

ATHENA
We’re going to die if we don’t get out, grab Illyria

Wesley turns his attention to a barely alive Illyria, he grabs her in both arms and hands her to Gunn.


WESLEY
Go.

GUNN
What are you going to do?

WESLEY turns and stares at Angel who is fighting off the last few.

Wesley walks over to Stein and pulls out a knife

STEIN
No… you’re making a huge mistake she’s dangerous – you need to stop her…

WESLEY smiles before slamming the knife into the water tube – water spraying and flooding out all around.

WESLEY
Come on ANGEL!

Angel gives one last punch before rushing towards the door, they slam it behind them as water floods up with incredible speed, all of the conscious guards make a run for the door only to find that it’s shut.

Graeme begins to spark as the water hits his feet – within minutes his skin begins to melt off – he’s not Graeme. He’s a carbon copy.

EXT. LABORATORY – DAY.

Gwen wields the door shut on the underground laboratory as Wesley holds Illyria again, stroking her hair back.

Angel and Gunn exchange looks as Athena stands in the corner – Angels glare soon turns towards her.

END OF PART THREE

INT. WESLEYS APARTMENT – NIGHT

WESLEY is asleep on the sofa as Illyria comes from his room. She sits and stares at him sleeping.

WESLEY
You know that I’m awake

ILLYRIA
You almost died for me

WESLEY
Hmmm…

ILLYRIA
Why?

He doesn’t give an answer. Illyria moves towards him and climbs onto the sofa bed, Wesley shifts awkwardly at first – she’s in her Fred form. He moves to the other side and remains silent.

ILLYRIA
Why?

She transforms to herself, he looks at her briefly before relaxing. She slowly moves her arm so that it is around his, her hand touching his.

ILLYRIA
Is this right?

WESLEY
I don’t know

They spend the rest of the night in silence as both lay hand in hand, eyes wide open.

CUT TO.

INT. HYPERION HOTEL – NIGHT.

GUNN trots down the stairs as Angel haunts the lobby

GUNN
Just getting’ some stuff

ANGEL
Gunn listen…

GUNN
Don’t ask me back

ANGEL
You did a really good job tonight, a really good job

GUNN
Don’t I always

Silence

GUNN
I’m not coming back to work for you Angel, it’s not me any more

ANGEL
I understand

GUNN
But the mission is me.
(pause)
I won’t come back to work for you. I wanna come back to work with you.

ANGEL looks up at Gunn

GUNN
A team.

ANGEL smiles as Gunn grabs the door handle.

GUNN
As of tomorrow, Gwens better to see leave the shower.

Gunn and Angel pass nods as he leaves. Angel takes a moment before walking into Athena’s office. She's sleeping on the desk.

FLASH TO WHITE

INT. LABORATORY

The entire place is full of water as Stein's dead body floats past - the same frighted glare, frozen to his face.

FLASH TO WHITE

Athena jumps up

ANGEL
Seemed a little jumpy tonight

ATHENA
I’m feeling a little ill. I’m gonna take some time off

ANGEL
That’s fine.
(beat)
Something scare you in there?

ATHENA
No.

ANGEL
Really? Seemed like something made you unsettled.

ATHENA
You’re seeing things.

Athena goes to move past Angel, he puts his hand out blocking her and moves right into her face

ANGEL
I know…

Athena’s eyes widen

ANGEL
…there’s something you’re not telling me.

Athena lets out a deep exhalation

ANGEL
But I will find out. I ALWAYS find out.

Athena stares at Angel as he relaxes his arm to his side

ATHENA
I have nothing you need to know.

ANGEL
We’ll see

ATHENA
I’m sure we will.

Athena rushes towards the door as Angel calls out

ANGEL
Oh…

She freezes

ANGEL
Where’s Nina?

CUT TO.

INT. HAIR SALON – NIGHT

Harmony and Nina are both still in the salon as a pair of scissors comes flying between the middle of them

Me again. Could Athena possibly be Wesley and Illyria's offspring from the future? Just a thought.
