Summary: Ok so fourth season(I think it was fourth, it was the whole one where Jasmine comes and Cordy sleeps with Conner (major ick here)) and the last season never happened. Conner did come back from evil hell dimension but he never pulled the sinkage with Angel, he's all good now. Spike is going to be in this story just because I said so. So anyway, Angel saves the world from Wolfram and Heart (Pesky lawyers) and the Fang Gang (Angel, Cordy, Fred, Gunn, Wes, Lorne, and Conner) all live at the Hyperion. During the huge apocalypse fight Angel is staked but he goes to where the powers are and they say that his destiny has not been filled (yadah yadah yadah) and that he has one final task to do before he is finally done. And boom, hes back to life holding a basket containing a music box. Once that music box is opened, a little girl appeared (Melody or Melly) and his new task is to take care of the child- who just happens to be 1/8th all the good guys (Angel, Cordy, Gunn, Wes, Conner, Spike, Lorne, and Fred). Three months after they get the child, she starts to show signs of powers, gifts from each of her "parents," So Angel and crew are now raising a four year old who happens to be more powerful then all of them and is wanted by an elite group called the Black Hand. (A/n Black hand is not a play off of Black Thorn, its actually a group of assassins in world war 1, yeah I paid attention in history,)
Disclaimer: I do not own those you in Angel the television series, though I do wish I owned Gunn, Spike, and Angel (what girl doesn't?).
A/n This chapter is set two weeks after the hospital thing. Cordy can talk and is doing better, except for the thin red line that's still across her throat. Melly still calls Cordy Momma and Angel and Cordy are in love.
Desdemonda the Slayer: The Hyperion was once a public hotel remember? And Angel was able to get into it despite that it wasn't a hotel anymore so I figure the vamps could still get in.
Li: There will be more Ria, Conner, and Melly in the next chapter, promise!
Freezyboncooliepants: About the whole Ria thing. In the first season of Angel Doyle got a vision about Buffy being in trouble. Angel went to Sunnydale and saved her but she didn't find out he was there until the end of the episode when Xander slipped up and Angel had already left. Buffy went to L.A. to confront Angel and tell him they should leave each other alone and this demon breaks in and they go to track it. While Angel is fighting the demon, his blood mixes with it's and poof he's human. Buffy and Angel get all sex-ness and Angel goes to the Oracles to find out why he turned human. They told him it just happened and that Buffy was going to die if he stayed human. He asked them to take the day back, so that no one but him would remember it and they did. The episode is called "I will remember you" if you want to check it out. So anyway in this alternate reality, Angel never went to the oracles and stayed human. Buffy got pregnant and they had a girl, Katherine "Katty" (Named after Angel's little sister). Holtz found out that in this other demension that Angel had a daughter. So he went and kidnapped Katty and renamed her Rianna or Ria. Conner and Katty grew up loving each other and really close, then Conner went with Holtz to kill Angel and Katty was staying with this other woman. Conner was supposed to come back, he didn't for a year so Katty found Holtz's journals and went to L.A. to find Conner. She only lets a few people call her Katty, only Conner and Melly as of right now. If you pay attention her name as Katty will come up more often. Hope that clears it up for you!
Thanks to all my other reviewers!!!
Last time:
"I thought I was going to lose you," Angel stated, his eyes locking with Cordy's "I was so scared, Cordy. I held you in my arms as you were bleeding and I couldn't get you to the hospital. Ria and Gunn brought you here; they probably saved your life. Melly saw you, she saw your vision, and she was terrified. Shaking and she kept saying the bad people were coming. She's calling you Momma now. Cordy, I realized something in that waiting room. Apparently I'm the last to realize it but Cordy," He took a deep unneeded breath "I'm in love with you,"
She let the smile take over her face and grabbed the paper and pen. "I'm in love with you too, now just kiss me already,'
He complied, leaning down and brushing his lips against hers.
(2 weeks later; Lobby of the Hyperion)
"Could you people move any slower?" Ria demanded, glaring at the group, who had decided to move in ultra-slow motion. She rubbed her hand on the stake, feeling the soft grains of wood. She loved the feeling.
"Probably," Conner said, smiling at his little sister.
"Daddy, can I come hunt the bad guys with you?" Melly asked, giving him the puppy dog eyes she saw her Momma use when she wanted to go shopping.
"No," Cordy said, kneeling down next to Melly. "You're going to stay here with Becky, Joe, and Jamie. Won't that be fun?"
"I wanna go slay the bad men," Melly pouted, holding Lorne's hand.
"It's ok, sweet pea, Uncle Lorne will stay home with you and the other little one," Lorne said, kissing the child's dark brown head. "Angel, that ok?"
"Sure, Lorne, just make sure all the doors, windows, and the sewer entrances are locked. I want you all to be in one room. The blue one with no windows, lock the door,"
"Aye Aye, boss," Lorne said back.
"Can we go now?" Ria asked, anxious to go on her first hunt since she left Quoar-toth. She had been busy the past two weeks taking care of Cordy.
"A little anxious there, nibblit?" Spike asked, testing the weight of the sword in his one hand.
"Don't talk to me," Ria snapped back, giving Conner a look that clearly said 'Keep him away from me or I stake him'.
"Ok troops lets move out," Angel, Cordy, Fred, Gunn, Wes, Ria, Conner, and Spike walked out the door and in the direction of the cemetery.
Ria laughed quietly at the oblivious vampires who were approaching the bush-hidden team. There were ten, seven men and three women. They didn't look much like fighters.
"Can I?" She asked Angel, aware that he might want the first kill.
"Go for it," he responded earning himself a grin from the girl. Ria walked up to the first vamp, who was clearly taller then her and considered her easy prey. He licked his fangs, and grabbed her by both arms. Angel started forward to save his daughter but Conner pulled him back and mouthed, "watch".
The vampire lowered his head so that his lips were an inch from her neck. Ria brought her knee up and connected it firmly into the vampire's gut. With a quick punch she had him on the ground and staked. The group then began to move in on her. She staked another vampire before the others reached her. Angel watched his daughter with admiration, for a fifteen year old she sure knew how to win in a fight. One vampire bashed Ria over the head, causing Conner to start to run over to her. Angel got there first. He punched the vampire then shoved the stake into his heart. Reaching a hand down to Ria, he helped her up.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Peachy keen, Vamp,"
"Don't call me…ohh vampire I get it," He turned around and staked the woman.
"A bit slow huh?" Ria teased, watching Fred stake a vamp. She had to say she was surprised; the small brunette didn't look like much of a fighter. They were down to two vampires, which Wes and Gunn took out quickly. "Well that was fun,"
"Too bad it aint over," Gunn said, watching the army of about thirty vampires walk towards them. These vampires looked like fighters.
"All the more fun, black man,"
"The names Gunn,"
"Eh, don't take it offensive, I forget names real quick."
"Less talking more slaying," Cordy said, raising her cross bow.
"Yes ma'am,"
The vampires reached them and were bombarded by a group of raging vampire hunters.
Angel was fighting what looked like the leader, and was currently being held in the air by his neck. An arrow shot and hit the vampire in the heart. On the hill a little way away from the fight stood a woman, a woman who looked very familiar to Angel, with dark brown hair and smoldering eyes. Next to her stood a small blond girl, holding a cross bow.
"Mommy, Mommy, I hit him!" The child shrieked loud enough for Angel to hear.
"Good girl, Duskie, now lets go help Angel," And with that Faith ran down the hill, her daughter next to her, and plunged into the fight.
A/n Hehehe…new friends. I bet half of you knew Faith would show up but still, I enjoyed making it so she helped them win against a few vampires.
