Later on that night, the gang sit down and eat some Chinese take out that Willow had ordered. Angel had told Willow what all had happened since they had last seen her when she restored Angels soul, their take-over of Wolfram & Hart, the death of Cordy, how Illyria came to be, Connor, and everything else that had happened in the past few weeks. "Oh my god. Poor Wes", Willow said in a mournful tone. "And Gunn....Angel I'm so sorry." "It's alright Willow. At least you came. And that means alot to me. It really does", said Angel with a sorrowful smile. "But if I had come when you really needed me, I coulda...", said Willow before Angel cut in saying, "It's ok. There's noway you could've known. But you're here now, and that's what's important." "Yeah. Thanks", Willow said with a half-smile. "So Spike...How are you enjoying being alive again...err...not alive...um undead?" "Well it certainly hasn't been no trollope through the snickers but who's complaining", Spike says in his typical British slang. "And how's life post Sunnyhell? Still diddling in the sparky mojo I see." "Well, I've kinda been working out. Mostly been peeking into other dimensions and mystical plains and such. You know there's dimension composed of nothing but shrimp?", Willow says. And with that last comment about the shrimp dimension, Illyria looks at Willow, remembering how she had once traveled to the Shrimp dimension when she was powerful and omnipotent and used to conquer multiple dimensions. "Your conversation no longer intrests me. I'm going to go and rest", Illyria says. She then heads upstairs to where Fred's room used to be. "Well she's honest. Gotta give her that", Willow says after Illyria went upstairs. "Eh. You get used to it after a while", said Angel. "But she does have a good idea. We should all get some rest. The sun's fixing to come up and who knows what tomarrow holds so we should probably get all the rest we can." "I'm with ya there", said Willow before letting out a yawn. "Teleporting half way across the world can take a bit outta ya." And with that, they all head upstairs and find rooms to sleep in.

The next evening.

Willow is on the phone with Giles. She tells him what all had happened, the destruction of Wolfram & Hart, how Angel and the others destroyed the Circle of the Black Thorn, and etc. She was ensuring Giles that Angel and the gang COULD be trusted and weren't working for Wolfram & Hart, but were looking for a way to dispose of them and the Senior Partners. And in return, Giles had reported that W&H lawfirms all around the world had mysteriously gone out of business and the buildings were abbandoned, but it was apperent that it wasn't much of a mystery ofter all. When Angel and the others had defeated the Circle of the Black Thorn, the Wolf, Ram, and Hart had lost their conduit and could no longer have access to this dimension as well as many others and all their powers had deminnished and all contracts had become void, including the one which Angel signed away any chance of him becomming human. They had finally won. The senior partners had been defeated and it would take them centuries to ever rise to power again. But Rupert had reported about a huge rise in demonic activity in Cleveland, where there was another Hellmouth, and one of Angel's sources had reported that demons, vampires, and other evil factions were leaving L.A. and headed to a new "Hot Spot" cause there was nothing left for them in the City of Angels. Giles had instructed Willow to meet him in Cleveland and requested that Angel, Spike, and Illyria joined them in an attempt to safegaurd the Cleveland and the Hellmouth. Angel and the others agreed. "Well it looks like the old Sunnydale gang is back together just like old times", Willow said with a smirk. And with that, the gang packed up and caught a private jet provided by the new Watchers Council, which Giles was now the leader of, and arrived in Cleveland later that night.

In Cleveland.

Giles and Andrew were there to meet them at the airport. "Spike!", Andrew yelled in excitment as he went and gave Spike a huge hug. "Oh it's gonna be like old times. Me and you back on the prowl, avengers of the cause, protectors of the innocent, warriors of the..." "Yeah yeah", Spike said, interupting Andrew and pushing him off of him. "Don't get all you snickers in a scruppy now. And no more hugs mind you?" "Oh yeah. Sorry", Andrew said as he backed off a few steps and regained his composure. Giles then approaoched Angel. "Well it seems you've made quite an impact recently", Giles said. "Defeating the senior partners could not have been an easy task. And I'm deeply sorry for your losses. Wesley and Cordelia were good people and I would've liked to have met Charles Gunn." "Yeah. But that's the price we have to pay to keep evil at bay. At least their deaths have not been in vaine", Angel said in a mournful tone. A short silence had fell as the gang reflected on the events that had taken place over the past few days. "Well", Rupert said, breaking the silence. "We should get going. The council purchased an old boarding school building not far from here and has reconstructed it to be our new headquarters here in the U.S. We have alot of recourses there and more will be comming in the next day or so." "That, and we got munchies there too", said Willow in a gittery tone. And with that, they hopped in a van and took off towards the Council.
