Title: What's to come…

Author: Nikka

Rating: General (basically if you're old enough to watch Angel you can read this fanfic).

Disclaimer: Angel characters are not my creation (wish they were) they belong to Joss Wehdon and David Greenwalt. Other characters that are not familiar from the show do belong to me.

Spoilers: Angel season 3.

Summary: This is my version of how Angel season four begins. It starts right after season 3 ended.

Author notes: Hi, this is my first fanfic ever, so be kind. English is not my native tongue so you may find some spelling & grammar mistakes, you're more then welcome to let me know about them but remember you may find them while you read the story.

I still haven't seen Angel season 3 only read summaries so I had to make up a few things I didn't know, just so you'll know. The story begins right after Cordy went up to the sky and Angel to depths of the ocean.

Ho and have fun.

Status: Finished.

Previously on Angel:

At the hotel, Fred asks Gunn if Connor wants to join them for a snack. Gunn says Connor wasn't upstairs. Fred is concerned. She thinks they should probably tell someone. Gunn tells her he hasn't been able to reach either Angel or Cordelia. Fred doesn't think that sounds good. She looks around the empty lobby and wonders where everyone went.
Cordelia continues her journey as the shaft of light lifts her upward. When she reaches the top, there's a bright flash of light, the light shaft and Cordelia disappear, while Angel continues his journey into the depths of the ocean. . (For understanding what's going here you really need to read the first chapters. It's hard to give a preview on them).

At the hotel everyone were still shaken up. Conor set quietly in his chair he seemed to have calmed down, so much that Fred took off the handkerchief.

"Ho my. It's so quite here you could hear the dead talking". Lorne tried to rise up moral.

"I think we heard enough from the dead". Gunn said sarcastically.

Again it was quite. No one knew what to say.

Suddenly the door opened.

"Cordy is that yo…?" Fred didn't finish her question. She didn't need too.

"Not exactly, but I think I'm a nice substitute." Justine laughed to see the shock on everyone's faces.

"Get out right now!" Gunn ordered her.

"Or what cowboy you'll kill me? I think not. Not with this crossbow pointed at your boss's heart". Justine raised her crossbow and pointed it at Angel.

"And I'm an excellent shooter don't mind me saying. Before you'll reach me I'll fire this arrow." Justine wasn't barging for nothing she knew she could and would do it.

"I'll kill you first". Gunn threatened her.

"No you won't. We both know it so cut the act and unite the boy". She pointed at Conor.

Conor smiled. "It's about time. I thought you forgot me". Conor said to her.

"Never, I made a promise. Now let's go". Justine seemed to be in a hurry.

"What's the hurry? Are you running from someone or is it something?" Angel asked.

" No hurry. I'm just not one to waste time". Justine looked at ease.

"So, you only want the boy or is there any thing else". Angel Asked.

"You don't mind me taking him?" Justine asked surprised.

"No. As long as no one else gets hurt it's fine by me."

"Angel! What are you doing? Fred didn't understand what came over him.

"What!? The boy tried to kill me. He's own father. I've killed people for less." Angel looked very serious.

You heard the boss. Give me the boy." Justin demanded.

"No! The only way you're taking him is over my dead bo…" Justine stopped her.

"I don't think you want to finish that sentence little girl. Remember who you're talking to".

"Fred stay out of it". Angel yelled at her.

"No I won't. You may be ready to give up on Conor but I still think we can make this work. Besides I promised Cordy." Fred persisted.

Ho, you mean the other little girl. Don't hold your breath it might take her a while." Justine smiled.

"What have you done with Cordelia?" Angel asked in an angry tune.

"Don't worry she's not dead. But by the time she'll get here you will be."

"So it's not just the boy you want." Angel played along.

"Come on you didn't really think I'd let you live after you killed Holtz".

"If you're going to kill me at least be accurate about who I killed." Angel didn't seem to be afraid of Justine.

"So you still say you didn't kill him. Come on no one believes you, not even your friends or you like been tied up for fun". Justin smiled.

"I knew you were sick I just didn't know how sick." Angel smiled for the first time since Cordy brought him to the hotel.

"Shut up! Shut up or I'll make you shut up." Justin wasn't amused.

"You're going to kill me any way so I don't think I'll shut up just yet". Angel said with a half smile.

"O.k. enough talking untie the boy! Now" Justine was loosing her patience.

"So you ran into Cordy? Did she make you mad? Or is it afraid?" Angel was trying to stall. He didn't want her to take Conor but he didn't want anyone else to get hurt.

"You think you're so claver. I know what you're trying to do. You really think she'll come to your rescue?" Justine lowered her cross bow but not low enough for Gunn to attack her.

"Ho I know she's on her way that's why you want to run and hide. But your not taking Conor." Angel knew he was running out of time.

"I thought you didn't care about him?" Justine asked Angel.

"What can I say? I lied. But you're still not taking him".

"Yes she is, I'm not staying here so you'll kill me too". Conor protested.

"I'm not going to kill you but I will if you keep arguing with me. Sit down and shut up!" Angel had enough of Conor's behavior.

"Who do you think you are? I'll do what ever I want and you…" Gunn took the handkerchief and gagged Conor's mouth again.

"He asked you twice". Gunn liked seeing Conor like that, he really annoyed him.

"You want to play like this, I don't mind you're the one who's all tied up at the moment." Justine raised her cross bow and aimed at Angel.

"No!" Fred screamed.

"Don't shot him, please". Fred bagged her.

"What's wrong with you people. He's a vampire, he kills people". Justine yelled at them.

"No! He doesn't, but I might".

Justine turned to see who said that.

"Missed me?" Cordy asked.
