Part 3
The monastery
50 years later
Angel was reading in his room when suddenly his opened and somebody entered. Angel looked up and addressed the uninvited visitor.
"You know, it's polite to knock before you enter."
"Hey, Angel, my buddy! How are you?"
"I've been better until a minute ago. What to you want, Whistler?"
The demon shrugged and grinned "Same old"
Angel glared at him: "Could you be more specific? I never liked your cryptic act!"
Whistler laughed: "That's a good joke, kid! You used my cryptic act yourself. And may I say you kind of brought it to perfection! But to answer your question: you're needed. The Powers That Be want your return. The End of Days are near and the final battle will take place at ..."
"... the Hellmouth!" Angel continued for him.
"You know?" Whistler was surprised.
"I guessed." Angel answered "You want me to return to Sunnydale?"
"Yes, I do. The Slayers need your help."
"So nothing has changed, right? Tell me, why should I go? I mean two Slayers will be perfectly capable of fighting the End of Days."
"But Angel what about.."
Angel interrupted the demon again "Ah! My Shanshu! My reward for fighting the End of Days. Can't forget about that! Why didn't you come fifty years earlier when Buffy and I still had a chance to enjoy my reward together? Give me one good reason to return there and fight." Angel dared.
Whistler was very calm when he answered: "Because it's the right thing to do! Because it's your destiny! Because you were born for this!"
"Not good enough, Whistler, sorry. It was nice seeing you again." With that he began to shove the demon to the door. But Whistler turned around again and said: "Because she would have wanted you to go!"
