"What do you expect me to do? Have one of those brain vision thingys." The door opened and a girl about 20 years old walked in with a big duffel on her shoulder. The two of them looked her up and down.

"Hello…" she said in a nice friendly shy voice. "Is this Angel Investigations?" Cordy and Wesley stood up.

"Yes it is." Cordy said in a happy tone. "We help the hopeless. So how can we help you?"

"Um… I'm here to see Angel is he here."

"How do you know Angel?" Wesley inquired.

"She's a friend of mine." Angel said from his office door. He walked over to here and gave her a hug. "It's good to see you."

"Same here." They released out of the hug. Angel took her bag.

"Follow me." Angel and the young girl walked through the office and went downstairs to his lair. Cordy gave a look at Wesley.

" How rude he didn't even give us an introduction." She sat back down. Wesley took a seat on the couch.

"That is rather peculiar."

"What?"

" Nothing." Cordy rolled her eyes and went back to her magazine as Wesley went back to looking in his books.

In Angel's Lair.

The young girl was sitting at the kitchen table and Angel poured her a cup of tea.

"So how was your trip?" He took a seat. She took a sip of the tea.

"Not bad but you know how Russian airports can be." She took another sip. "Thanks for the welcoming."

"Yah your welcome. So are you finally gonna tell me your name? You didn't say it on the phone all you said was…" She looked at him.

"You knew my brother. "She stopped for a minute. A look came upon her face of sorrow and determination. Angel looked at her. "He was a mutual friend of yours." Angel gave a look of question. Who was she related to? I've known to many people. Was she gonna try and kill me? He looked at her. She stared at him. "His name was Allen Francis Doyle."

"You're Doyle's sister?" She nodded her head. "He never mentioned you."

"What do you expect him to announce it to the world? I highly doubt that." Angel looks her up and down. "What?"

"You don't smell human."

"Well that is rude I'm very much human … on my mother's side" Angel remembered those words and his heart sunk. She noticed that look. She gave a smile. "It's ok." Angel looked up at her.

"So what is your name?"

"Oh yeah, it's Una."

"Very Irish name, yet, you don't have an accent."

"Well when you travel as much as I do you lose it over time. Especially when you know several 100 languages, dead and living."

"So what brings you to town?" Una takes a sip of her tea.

"You might think this crazy. But I came because of my dreams. Funny, huh?"

"I've heard of worse reasons." Angel noticed her eyes they looked so much like Doyle's. He began to notice all the similarities. Only thing that was different was their skin color she was slight tan. The rest was all like a reversed mirror.

"Angel? … Did I lose you?" He snapped out of his staring.

"Oh I'm sorry I was comparing you on how much you look like your brother."

"We'll I'm not that much the same. He was a guy and a Braken demon and I'm female and a Ticka Demon."

"Wait." He paused. "You too are step- brother and sister." She gave a nod and smile. She finished the last of her tea and stood up. Angel stood up as well. "Where are you going?" She went over and picked up her bags?"

"I'm going to try and find at least a nice cheap motel and get some sleep." She looked at him. "Don't tell them who I am." Angel nodded. "And um.. Do you know anywhere that is good and lets you sleep for about $3/a night." Angel looked at her.

"There's Winter's Rive."

"Thanks." She headed toward the stairs. That's it, Angel thought I'm not letting my best friend's sister go and sleep at a no star hotel. Angel ran over to the steps and grabbed her arm. She turned around and faced him. "What?" Angel's stomach began to flip.

"Um.. Una, why don't you spend the night here, free of charge?" She looked him over.

"You're kidding?"

"No." Angel shock his head.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, positive."

"Great." Angel took her bag and she took a seat on the couch and laid down.

"Great." He gave in a whisper.

It was about 2 am.

Angel had moved Doyle's sister into his room and onto his bed. He had taken the couch. I wonder if Doyle sleep that soundly. Screams came from Angel's bedroom waking Angel. He ran into the room to find Una screaming and trying to reach for someone.

"Allen don't " She pleaded. "Angel stop him!" Angel grabbed her arms and held them still. She was still trying to get at something. She screamed. "NO!!!" She stopped and woke to find Angel by her side holding her arms. "Angel?"

"Yeah, it's ok."

They went to the kitchen he made tea again since it was the only thing he had.

"What was that?" She looked at him. Her eyes where blood shoot and teary.

"My dreams. They can get so real sometimes."

"Tell me about them." Angel knew he wasn't going back to sleep.

"Well there is this one were he, Allen is in front of a camera and reading this cue cards and that girl from upstairs filming it." Angel recognized what she was talking about. "Something about don't lose hope this what you'll find here… so come over to our offices and you'll see there are still heroes in this world" She said it with her Irish accent to make it sound just as Doyle did it.

"And then he went …" Angel remembered.

"Is that am I don." Angel looked at her as the words left her mouth. He remembered Crody and him sitting and watching the commercial over and over to remember everything they could about their lost friend.

"And the other one is.." She continued. Angel listened very intuitively. "You are all up on this scaffolding on this.. boat and… there is this light thingy. You two talk about it and he hits you and …" Angel flashes back to that day.

Doyle and Cordy climb up a ladder to the same level that Angel is on and they all meet on a platform level with the beacon.
Doyle: "What does that thing do?"
Angel: "Its light kills anything with human blood."
Doyle: "Well, it's getting brighter and that doohickey - it's fully armed, isn't it?"
Angel: "Almost. If I pull the cable, I think I can still shut it off."
Doyle: "How're you gonna do that without touching the light?"
Cordy: "Angel, that's suicide."
Doyle: "There's got to be another way."
Angel looks at the demons in the hold then at Cordy: "It's all right."
Cordy: "No!"
Angel puts a hand on Doyle's shoulder.
Doyle puts his hand on Angel's arm: "The good fight, yeah? - You never know until you've been tested. - I get that now."
Doyle hauls back and hits Angel with a hard right to the chin, knocking him down into the cargo hold.
Doyle turns to Cordy and they kiss. There is a strange blue light between their lips just before they part. Not sure if it's from the beacon shining behind them or if it means something else.
Doyle steps back: "Too bad we'll never know (Morphs into his demons face) if this is a face you could learn to love."
Angel picks himself up of the floor of the cargo hold, runs over to the ladder and climbs back up.
Angel: "Doyle. Doyle. Doyle! Doyle! NO!"
Doyle jumps over to the beacon just before Angel reaches the platform. He grabs a hold of its metal frame, turns his head and smiles at Angel and Cordy.
Angel: "No!"
Doyle morphs back to human and tries to pull the cable connection apart as the light gets brighter and starts to melt the skin off his face. Everybody watches spellbound as Doyle manages to pull the cable apart just before he burns up. The beacon goes dark. All the Lister demons stare at the fading beacon in shock. Cordy starts crying and Angel pulls her into a hug, teary-eyed himself.

He comes out of the flash and looks at Una. Tears are running down her face. Angel goes behind her and hugs her. She stands up and hugs Angel back and they stand there for a while.

It is 9am.

Wesley walked down the stairs into Angel's apartment. He looked around no Angel in sight.

"Angel" he called out. Angel's bedroom doors open and Angel came out and closed the doors quietly. He walked over to Wesley.

"Angel good morning." He said in his chippy British voice.

"Ssshh." Angel said in a whisper. "She just fell asleep."

"You mean your friend." He looked at the door to Angel and how he was dressed in a robe and boxer shorts.

"You didn't"

"Didn't what?"

"You and her." Wesley made a motion, for him and her doing it.

"No Wesley we didn't. I let her stay her the night and she had a bad dreamed so I stayed with her." Angel looked around. "Wesley why don't you go up stairs. Let me get dressed and I'll be right up." Wesley turned toward the stairs. "Wesley?" Angel called. Wesley turned around. "What do you know about Ticka demons?" Wesley looked back at him and searched his memory.

"Not much I have to say."

"Can you look for me?"

"Sure. Um… may I ask why?"

"No not just yet. Thanks Wesley." Wesley nodded and went upstairs.

Angel got dressed and went up to the office. Wesley was sitting at the Cordy's desk looking up info online and reading any book he can. Angel walked over to him.

"Anything?" Wesley looked up at his boss.

"No there isn't much about Ticka demons. The only thing I have found was this." He handed the book to Angel. Angel looked at it. "It only says they are big and huge and can rip you limp from limp with their claws."

"It also says they were thought to have flown."

" Let me point out a word to you 'thought'. These creatures are extinct." Angel gave a look behind him toward the stairs where young Una is sleeping.

"Thanks Wesley." Angel looked around the office. "Where is Cordelia?" Wesley looked around the room.

"Oh she has a audition for a Spree commercial she is so excited. It is a callback."

"My luck goes out to her." Wesley stood up and faced the voice. Angel turned around. Una stood there in a brown skirt and a blue blouse with a black leather vest over it. Wesley eyes widened and gazed at her. Angel was staring but looked away.

"Good Morning, Una." She walked over to the desk. Wesley was still staring. Angel hit him in the leg as he bent on the desk gazing at the books. She picked up a book.

"Good morning, Angel." She looked at Wesley. " Good morning …Mister…."

"Wesley, Wesley Wilden Price." Angel didn't like the way he was looking at her. Ok he hasn't known her that long but it is Doyle's sister and he wasn't gonna let anything happen to her.

"Good morning then Wesley."

"Good morning to you.. Una?" She nodded. They both smiled. The phone rang. Wesley picked it up. "Angel Investigation's we help the hopeless." Wesley nodded a few times. "Alright we will be right there." He hung up the phone. "That was Cordelia. She said she just had a brain numbing vision and says we need to get over there, all of us." Una gave a look to Angel.

"Let's go." Angel said and they were off.

At Cordeilia's house.

Wesley knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal a Cordy holding an ice pack to her head. She stood back and took a seat on her couch. Wesley took a seat beside her.

"Are you alright?" he inquired. She began to go and told him what had happened that it happened right after her audition and thanking God and all that.

Angel looked at Una. She was standing in the room looking around as if searching for something. Angel went over to her.

"What's wrong?" Una looked at him.

"She has a ghost."

"Oh yeah that's Dennis." He looked at her. "How did you know?"

"My species can detect then." She looked around. "We also can see them."

"Really?"

"Yes." Angel looked around.

"Where is he?"

"He is beside Cordelia." Her eyes widened. "He's looking at me." She said in a calm voice.

"Are you afraid of ghost?"

"No." She said with the same calmness. A rose was pulled from the bouquet on the coffee table. It floated across the room toward Una. She took it. "Thank you Dennis." Cordy looked at her.

"Why did he do that?" Angel looked at Una.

"I guess he just Likes me." Cordy went on about her try-out and Wesley was forced to sit through it.

"Why did he do that, for real?" Angel whispered to her.

"Ghost." She faces Angel. " They can sense who we are."

"So shouldn't he be like kicking you out?"

"He's not cause of my brother." She smelled the flower. "And he knows that I can see him and that I can hurt him if he tries anything."

"He's a ghost."

"Well Ticka demons have magical powers and I can get rid of him with a flip of the wrist."

"Oh…" Points to the rose. "A kind of peace offering?"

"Mmm Hmm" Angel looked back to Cordelia. He went to Cordy's side.

"So what did you see?" Cordy sat up and handed the ice to Wesley.

"Well you remember those guys who … killed … Doyle."

"The scourge." Angel answered. This caught Una's attention.

"Yah, they were at this place that had big letters, and a great view of the ocean. It was hilly. And there is only about 15 of them."

"What were they doing?"

"They were looking at pictures."

"Of whom?" Cordy looked at Una. Una looked at the ground. Angel followed her gaze. Angel stood up.

"Why are they after you?"

"I don't know"

"Why would they? I thought they only killed half breeds I thought." He looked at Una. "You're a demon." Una bit her lip. Angel stood beside her. She looked at him.

"Yeah she is."

"And that explains how she is a good friend of yours."

"No it doesn't." He looked at his Scooby Doo gang. "We should find out what they are up to?" Wesley shifted in his seat. "Cordelia and I will look for this place." Cordy nodded. He looked to Wesley. "Wesley you and Una will go back to the office and wait for us to call you and tell you if we found the place."

"No way. I'm not sitting here and be babysat by him." She motioned to Wesley. "I'm a big girl Angel. I can take care of myself."

"I bet you can but this is for your safety."

"Angel I am not my brother. You don't have to try and protect me cause you feel it is your fault for his death. I'm not him." Una said angrily. Angel gave her a stern look. "You can't make me stay here." She turned around and headed toward the door. Angel got up and followed here.

"Una, wait."

"What?" She turned around. Angel hit her and knocked her out. He caught her. "This is for your own good and mine." He picked her up and went to the couch. Cordy and Wesley moved. He set her down. "Wesley," Angel faced him, "You keep a good eye on her till we come back." Wesley nodded.

"Understood."

"I guess we're off." Cordy said as her and Angel walked out the door.

In Angel's car.

Angel driving and Cordy sitting shotgun.

"So what did she mean by her brother? Who was he?" Angel paid attention to the road. He didn't answer or seem to hear her. His thoughts were on what Una said. "Angel I am not my brother. You don't have to try and protect me cause you feel it is your fault for his death. I'm not him." "ANGEL!" Cordy screamed at him to get his attention of whatever it was.

"What?" he asked dumb founded. He gave a glance to Cordy.

"Who is her brother?"

"I promised I wouldn't tell you."

"You know what has been bugging me." She paused. "Is how she looks like Doyle." Angel gave a look over at her. "Except she defiantly doesn't have his fashion sense." Angel gave a look at her. "So am I right is she Doyle's sister?" Angel stared out the window. "Well?"

"Yes." He said in a low tone.

"Why didn't she want me to knooo…" Cordelia grabbed her head. Flashes flew in front of her eyes. It stopped. Angel had pulled of the side of the rode to wait till it passed.

"What did you see?" Cordelia took a breath.

"We need to head back to my apartment. They're going there." Angel started the car and turned around and sped through every light and broke all speed limits.

At Cordelia's House.

Wesley sat in a chair watching TV. A cover began to cover itself around Una. Wesley stared at that.

"Dennis." Wesley thought out loud. Wesley walked over to beside Una and bent down. "You are a pretty thing. But what would those evil scourge people want with you." The door flew off it's hinges and onto the ground. 5 scourge members entered. Wesley stood up. They grabbed him and held him. Wesley tried to wiggle out of their grasp. One of the man went over to Una her touched her face. He suddenly fell forward on the ground and was thrown across the room.

"Way to go Dennis." Wesley shouted. Another one went to pick her up and another fended off. They ran out of the house. The one on the ground got up and walked over to Wesley.

"You tell your Vampire that if he wants that pathetic being to met at the H on the Hollywood Sign." He kicked Wesley Right leg. Wesley fell to the ground. "Got that?" Wesley nodded. The all walked out.

Angel pulled up to Cordy's house.

They both ran inside. Dennis was helping Wesley into a chair. They went over to Wesley.

"Thank you Dennis." He said with pain.

"What happened?"

"They came in and took her. Dennis tried to fend them off. They held me and broke my leg."

"Did they tell you where they were going?"

"Yes … To the H of the Hollywood sign." Angel got and went for the door. "Angel!" Wesley called. Angel looked at him. "They're expecting you."

"Thanks. Cordelia, take care of him."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to get Una and bring her back safely." Angel left.

"Good luck." She tended back to Wesley with the help of Dennis.

Angel arrived at the Sign.

He got up to the H. On top of the H the Scourge leader held onto Una.

"Greetings Vampire. I think I have something you want."

"Let her go!" He yelled up.

"Really?"

"AaahhhHHhh!!!!" came from up top. "Please don't drop me!"

"No! I'm coming up." The rest of the scourge came out.

"No let him come up!" he yelled to his group. Angel climbed up to the top. When he got there the wind blew hard it almost made him fall. The scourge leader had Una's arms behind her back and right by the edge. Angel looked down over the side of the H. It was a pretty good drop. He was on one side of the top of the H the Leader and Una on the other.

"Una, you ok?"

"Yah, I'm just peachy."

"Let her go. Let me take her place."

"Her place as what a corpse." A breeze blew in. They all swayed. Una used this to get out of his hold. She ran for Angel. She got to the edge and Jumped. She was short in her jump. Angel grabbed her though. He had by the wrist.

"Angel!" He tried pulling her up. He was now flat onto of the H. She was tring to get some footing but couldn't find one.

"Pathetic." The leader said. He ran over and jumped and landed on the side of Angel's. He began to kick Angel. He began to wince in pain.

"Hold on Una I got you." Her hand was slipping. "Hold On." Una looked into his eyes. She gave him the same look as Doyle gave right before he was about to pull the cables. "Una… I can't hold on." Her hand slipped from his. She fell.

"AAAaaaahhhhhhhh!" She screamed. Bright Lights got in his eye as he watched. He couldn't see her. Angel flipped over and stood up.

"You killed her as you killed her brother. No it's payback." Angel went into vamp mode. The two began to exchange blows. Angel grabbed the leader by the throat and held him over the side. "Can you fly?" One of the scourges on the ground aimed a crossbow at Angel. He fired. Something grabbed it. Angel looked to his side. There stood a creature with white furrish skin and wings. The hair is black. The eyes are blue. He recognized those eyes.

"Don't you know how dangerous these things are to your health." The voice, I know that voice Angel thought. Angel looked at the arrow in her hand.

"Una?" She smiled at him.

"You take care of him while I have a little fun with them." She dropped over the side and began to fight the ones below. Angel looked into the leader's eyes. He snarled. Then let him go over the side.

"Paybacks a bitch ain't it." Angel jumped down from the top of the H to the bottom of the H. the whole crew was on the ground hurt, bleeding or worse. "Una?" She turned around to face him. She reverted back to her human form. Her cloths were shredded and she was holding onto scraps. Angel took off his long trench coat and put it on her. "I thought you couldn't turn demon until you were 21."

"Well my genes popped out when I was 12."

"How?"

"How am I suppose to know?" They began to walk to the car. "The good fight, yeah?"

"Yah." The words rang out in his head. Doyle's words.

In Angel's lair.

Una sat on the couch wrapped in a blanket. Angel was fiddling with the VCR.

"I have to return to Cordelia or she will kill me if I lose it."

"What is it?" Angel turned on the screen and pushed play. He ran back and sat next to Una. The screen came on and Doyle was there looking as if there was not a care in the world. No death coming except from Cordelia.

"If you need help. Then look no further. Angel Investigations is the best! - Our rats are low."
"Our rates!" Cordelia said from off camera
Doyle points to the papers taped on the windows behind her:

"It says 'rats'. - Our rates are low, but our standards are high." Una began to say it with him. Their personal duet. Angel looked at her. Tears came from here eyes. She was strong in strength and in heart. She truly did love her brother." When the chips are down, and you're at the end of your rope you need someone that you can count on. And that's what you'll find here - someone that will go all the way, no matter what. So don't lose hope. Come on over to our offices and you'll see that there's still heroes in this world. (Clears throat) Is that it? Am I done?" She leaned into Angel's arms and cried. He held her close, rocking her. She was so much like him yet so different. Angel made a promise to himself. He wasn't gonna let anything happen to her. His personal payment to Doyle. His penance.
