Summary: Connor must confront the past and try to make his own destiny.
A.N.: Sorry for the mistake of saying Public Enemy instead of Mutant Enemy. My mind was somewhere else when I was typing it. ^_^.
A.N.: Do not worry Connor will be NOWHERE near Cordelia in that way. Considering that she works in the same place that he lives its kinda hard to avoid a conversation but nothing besides that.

Chapter 4: Explanations.
Angel parked outside the hotel and Connor sighed.
"They wont want me there" Connor looked down.
"Yes they will, you just have to give them time"
"How do you know?"
"I've known them for a while. If we weren't so forgiving there wouldn't be an Angel Inc."
Connor sighed again. "Why haven't you killed me?"
"What?"
"You've had so many chances and I...betrayed you so why haven't you killed me?"
"Because you're my son and I will always love you no matter what you do."
Connor looked in the eyes of his father, a questioning look on his face. "You don't even sound like the Angelus I was told about" he shook his head and looked down again. "Connor...I have a soul, Angelus is dead as long as I have my soul. That only leaves Angel, that only leaves me."
"What will happen if you don't have your soul? Can you ever lose it, can you ever become Angelus again?"
"I don't want to think what would happen if I lose my soul but I can. If I ever have a true moment of happiness then Angelus returns."
"You can never be happy?"
"I can eventually after a few apocalypses I'll become human."
"When will that be?"
"I don't know."
"oh"
Feeling uncomfortable he said, "Don't worry about that now. We have to figure out what's on this" Angel held up the cylinder and got out of the car. He entered the lobby of the Hyperion Hotel his son with his head down almost hiding behind him.
"CONNOR!! You're okay" Cordelia rushed over to Connor followed by Fred. They both took turns checking if he was okay and hugged him until they squeezed the life out of him.
"It's good to have you back" Fred said with a big smile on her face.
Gunn and Lorne on the other hand did not share their enthusiasm.
"Angelcakes can we talk?"
"Sure. Wes, can you come too, I need to talk to you about something." Angel led Gunn, Wesley and Lorne into his office and closed the door after them.
"What's up?"
"Demon child is up. Are you sure it's safe to bring him back so soon?" Gunn spoke with extreme anxiety.
"I have to agree, Sugarplum. He hasn't exactly been the most loving son in the world."
"I know, but that's all going to change"
"How can you be sure? If does something wrong you can be very lenient"
"I know, Lorne, but he wont try anything I know what I'm doing."
"Are you sure?" Gunn crossed his arms stubbornly believing that Connor would be up to no good.
"Yes...look last summer was different. He's all alone in a world he doesn't understand. There are things a lot stronger than what Connor has faced in Qour-Toth out there. I don't want him to get hurt" he sighed "and if its possible he looks thinner than when he left."
"Alright Angelcakes, if that's how you feel then I support you as long as he doesn't try to kill me."
Gunn sighed and said "Fine but you have to keep an eye on him."
"Agreed. I know you don't trust him yet but he was confused before, I don't think he'll try anything like that again."
"Alright" Gunn and Lorne stepped out of the office closing the door after them.
"Wes, have you ever heard of the Amherst Papyrus?"
"Sounds familiar, why?"
Angel handed the cylinder to him. "Because I want you to translate it."
"Is it authentic?" Wesley had had changed so much. When the instances came when he turned to the Wesley he had first met in L.A. it made him smile.
"Yeah. As far as I know. It would help if you could find that out, too."
"I'll get right on it."
"Thanks."
Angel opened the door and found Cordelia and Fred had cornered his son on the circular couch and was talking about clothes or Connor's lack of good clothes in their opinion.
"That's it. We go to the mall tomorrow, it closes at about 9 P.M. so even Angel can come." Cordelia rambled on.
Connor sighed and said. "I don't need new clothes." It sounded like he had been saying that for the whole time that Angel had been talking. More repetitive than actually trying to convince anyone.
"You need to blend in more, buddy."
"Actually that might not be a bad idea." Angel said approaching." We can catch a movie afterwards."

Note: Thank you Jules for reminding me of Groo. I can't believe I forgot about him. So I am making that kiss in the beginning a friendly forehead kiss considering I didn't go too much into it. Cordelia is still with Groo, because that will save us all from vomiting and make my life 10 times easier. So, sorry for the inconvenience. Also I agree with Jules about Connor, considering he has been through hell and has super strength there is no way Angel can put him over his knee, he is not a child. Sorry lily, I only try and understand the character and I don't see how Angel can really punish Connor in that way.
Thanks to everyone who has been reviewing I can never get enough reviews, so, keep them coming.
