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 Faith and Dusk are going to be main characters from now on and in this chapter you'll find out why Dusk is so handy with that cross bow. AHH I FOUND MY FLOPPY!!! Only took me a month. My mother thought somebody got shot because I pulled it out of my end table next to my bed and started screaming and jumping up and down!!!
-P.D.
Last time: 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.
(Lobby of Hyperion after the fight)
"Wesley stop moving," Cordelia commanded, wrapping a layer of gauze over the British man's left forearm, the wound was still bleeding but had subsided to a slight gushing.
"Do I have to?" He asked, his eyes twinkling. Cordy glared and finished bandaging his arm.
"Next," She yelled, looking at the line of people waiting for her to tend to. Angel had been stabbed threw the stomach with a sword, Ria had various cuts and bruises, Conner had a gash along his chest, Faith was banged up pretty bad and her daughter looked as though she might need stitches on her forehead.
"My turn!" Angel said, grinning at Cordy. She quickly bandaged the already healing stab wounds.
"All done,"
"My lip hurts,"
"What do you want me to do about that?"
"Kiss it better," Angel said teasingly. Cordy kissed him lightly causing a chorus of eww's to emerge from the younger half of the room.
Dusk settled herself on the big couch and looked up at the brown-haired woman with large dark eyes. Her mother's dark eyes.
"Let's see," Cordy said cautiously. If the daughter was anything like the mother…
"I shouldn't have gotten hurt," The child stated, slightly pouting.
"Shouldn't have?"
"Mommy taught me how to hurt the bad men," Cordy noticed how she called vampires the bad men just as Melly did.
"But even Mommy gets hurt sometimes," Faith reminded her daughter, her eyes softening as they met her child's. Angel could see how motherhood had changed Faith, just as it had changed all of them raising Melly.
"Mommy's special though,"
"So is Duskie," Faith said, kissing the bandage Cordy put over the healing wound.
"Daddy, guess what?" Melly said, pulling on her father's hand. "We have two warrior princesses now,"
"What?"
"Faithie and Duskie," Melly clarified, smiling at the small blonde girl. "My names Melly," She said, holding out a hand like she saw Daddy do.
"I'm Duskie," Dusk said, taking the hand into hers. They fit perfectly.
"Duskie is special. Glow-ey,"
"What color glow-ey, baby-doll?" Lorne asked, remembering how Angel and Spike were white glow-ey and Ria/Katty was purple glow-ey.
"Purple, but darker then my Katty's,"
"Faith, is Dusk a slayer?" Wes asked, still a bit cautious of the dark haired slayer.
"Yes. She's a little more then that though," Faith said, holding her daughter close.
"How so," Angel asked. Faith gave him a look that said, 'Not around the children.'
"Melly, why don't you go take Duskie up to your room and play dolls?"
"Can we be warrior princesses?" Melly asked, her blue eyes wide.
"Sure, bit, now scram," Spike joked kissing the child's head. Dusk looked at the ground sadly. Spike picked up the small blonde child. "Hi, Duskie. I'm Spike,"
"He's my Spikie," Melly stated. "I can share him if you want,"
"Spikie…" Dusk whispered touching her hand to the vampire's cheek. "Glow-ey," She whispered barely audible.
"Glow-ey?" Cordy asked.
"Dusk sweetie, what color glow-ey is Spikie?" Faith asked, aware that the vampire seemed entranced with her little girl.
"White, like Mommy's pearls,"
"What color am I?" Ria asked, looking the child in the eye. Green met brown for a minute and both felt something.
"Purple. Light purple. And Mommy is dark purple," Ria slipped off towards the corner, listening intently.
"What color is Melly?" Fred asked suddenly.
"Rainbow,"
"Melly, Duskie, can you go around and say what color everyone is?"
"Ok," The children said, a child's innocence keeping them from asking why. Gunn was red, Fred was blue, Cordy was pink, Lorne was green, Spike and Angel were white, Wesley was yellow, Conner was dark blue, and Ria, Faith, and Duskie were all purple.
"What colors are Melly, exactly Duskie?" Faith asked, kneeling down next to her daughter. Wes silently slipped back into his office.
"Red, light blue, like your bedroom. Pink like my bedroom. Green like the him," She pointed to Lorne, "White, lots of white, yellow, dark blue and purple. The purple feels different though,"
"What kind of different?" Spike asked, kneeling down next to Faith.
"Tingly,"
"I think I just figured something out," Ria said from the corner. She had a pen and paper in hand.
"What?" Angel asked, walking towards his daughter. She pushed the paper towards him.
Written in her curvy hand writing was:
Angel- Her "Daddy" - White
Cordy- Her "Momma" - Pink
Wesley- Her "Watcher" – Yellow
Fred- Her "Brain" – Light Blue
Gunn- Her "Muscle" – Red
Spike- Her "Spikie"- White
Lorne- Her "Singer/Song/Reader" – Green
Conner- Her "Brother"- Dark Blue
- All 1/8th of Melly's existence.
Other Factors:
Becky, Joe, and Jamie- Jamie's a werewolf.
Faith and Duskie- Both Slayers and dark purple
Melly's powers:
Telekenisis – She threw the vampire into a wall
Can Read people like Lorne- The whole color seeing thing, Duskie can too
Visions like Cordy
Extreme fighting style for a 4-year-old- Angel Conner Gunn and Spike
Math skills like Fred- Cordy was trying to figure out how much that black dress would cost on sale and Melly said it before she could do it in her head.
Language Skill like Wes- He was translating something, she knew what it meant
-All powers come from one of the people.
- Those vampires tried to kidnap her- Cordy saw in her vision that that's who they wanted.
Look up stuff on:
-The Holy One
-The symbol
-Super Magical Children
-Test out powers.
"My daughter is a genius," Angel said, hugging Ria, which surprised and scared her.
"Not really, I just put two and two together," She said quietly as Angel handed the paper around.
"She's all part of us?" Cordy asked, looking down at her daughter.
"That's my theory," Ria said, watching Melly and Dusk play a made-up hand game.
"I just figured it all out," Wes yelled walking out of his office and holding a stack of about twenty pages.
"Your five minutes late," Cordy said, smiling. Wes sighed and sunk into the chair. Just his luck.
A/n Whatcha think about Ria's problem solving skills? Everything on her paper I had written out as my notes except for the last part. Haha…next chapter is doing the stuff on the list!
-P.D.
