He was dreaming. He had to be. This couldn't be happening. Holland Manners couldn't be standing in front of him. This kind of stuff doesn't happen in real life, maybe fanfic, but definitely not in real life. Yet there Holland was standing in front of him. Brandon figured he probably should be polite and extended his hand. He was still trying to get over the surrealism of the situation, so he didn't see the shocked look on Holland's face, when his hand crossed over the barrier.
"We understand that you're a bit confused, but I assure you we will try to make the transition as smooth as possible," Holland said.
"We are very happy to have you with us," Lilah added. Lindsey just gave a half-hearted wave with his good hand.
While all this happened, Brandon's brain decided to come back from its vacation and now Holland's words began to sink in. They had brought him here. They had somehow transversed their realm and brought him here. To say he was shocked would be an understatement. This kind of stuff usually only happened on Xena.
"You brought me here?" Brandon asked weakly. Okay, maybe his brain wasn't up to full speed yet, but how would you react if all of a sudden you were in one of your favorite TV shows.
"Yes, but I won't bore you with the details today. I imagine you're exhausted from your trip as well as the shock of all this, so I'll have someone escort you to a bed where you can get some sleep," Holland said smoothly and began motioning for a guard.
"No, that's okay," Brandon said when he saw a guard approach. He, actually, didn't feel tired at all. In fact, he couldn't remember feeling so energetic. Not to mention that he was interested on how they brought him here, because that was probably the only way for him to go back. "I'm here for Angel," he said after a second. That had to be why he was there. Wolfram and Hart wouldn't do something this big, unless it involved Angel somehow.
Their new guest was certainly full of surprises. First, he passed through the barrier with absolutely no resistance, and now he's already figured out his purpose. Holland was beginning to wonder if this young man would be a liability rather than an asset.
While his mind was assessing Brandon, Brandon was trying to figure out when exactly he was. He noticed that Lindsay was missing his hand but Holland was still alive, so that meant that Darla was still human. He'd ask about her and see if that gave him a clue.
"Yes, but I'm interested to know..."
"What's the situation with Darla?" Brandon asked, stopping Holland from asking his question. He noticed Holland stiffen a little.
"We... we're not sure at the moment?" Holland said after a second.
"What do you mean you're not sure?' They had her under lock and key. How could he not be sure?
"No one knows where either Darla or Drusilla is. They've been in hiding ever since Angel lit them on fire," Lilah informed him.
That couldn't be. "How are you still alive?" he asked Holland. If Darla and Dru were together, then he should be dead.
"The senior partners brought me back. They didn't feel that Lilah or Lindsey were ready to take my position yet."
This new information certainly threw Brandon for a loop. If this was true, then he wasn't in the show, but rather an alternate universe of the show. That meant he had absolutely no clue what was going on. "I think I'll take you up on your offer for that bed," he said after a second. He really needed to think about what the next course of action should be.
