7 years into the future on the Anniversary of everyone's death, Wesley which was the name he was going by now came home. Usually on the anniversary, he goes out and kills something or drinks heavily. Yet that night he came home to injured to do anything but face his past. After that he had grown depressed, and violent. Drinking, vomiting, barely even bothered to shower. Seeing this Angel sent him on a vacation to an alternate dimension. It was a place in between heaven and earth. On an island, in a mansion, by himself Wesley was able to once more get back into some old habits. Like waking up at 6 and swimming until 8. Surfing out on the beach, playing music, and doing the exact opposite of reading. Then when he gets an unexpecting visitor, his world changes. Elizabeth Wattson, was his visitor. The pair started right where they left off, yet Liz made him realize something, that the trip here had only helped him hide his pain not get over it. She left him with a single command thought and statement. "Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is be weak." so she left him crying on the beach only allowed to be with him for 24 hours. The other statement was that they were alive. His family, Wren, RJ, Emma, Luke, Mark, Joni, DD, heck even Wilona was born. And so when he left that dimension he had a mission to find them.
Right after he left he automatically found one of them. Mark, or Wilfred as he goes by now. Turns out Wilfred after the accident became a sort of wondering monk, meditating, going from shrine to shrine. Heck when Wesley first saw his little brother after 7 years he was wearing an orange robe. Wilfred told Wesley he is a seer now, and had a vision. He had a vision of Luke...Luke was evil and was after Wesley's blood. Luke had chased Emma all over Europe, until she found out Wesley was alive and was looking for him in LA. Then Luke infected her with some kind of spell making her hate her old watcher Wesley. It was then Wesley was reunited with his best friend.
Wren Oak also had a real name. Turns out he and his little brother where hiding from their father to. Because after thier mothers death he had grown violent, because you see thier mother was a slayer.
"I think we should find Wendy, once we get her maybe we'll have a better chance." said Wilfred as they planned to stop Luke or William as he was called now.
"I think you'll have a better chance if you have all of us." said a voice from behind them. Wesley turned to see Robin Wood, or was known as Wren Oak standing behind him. A boy obviously his little brother, also known as RJ in his time at his side. "Hello British."
"Wren..." he gasped.
"So you work for an evil law firm now."
"We try to make it do good."
"You became a watcher again?" asked RJ slightly sourly.
"If my contacts are correct I believe you two are training to become watchers as well." he said coolly. Robin merely cracked a grin before running over and giving him a hug, while Nick or RJ as he was once called gave Wilfred a hug. They then switched. "Dear god RJ, you've grown up so much," he said in almost disbelief. The once quite little stringy boy was well still a little stringy yet now he stood up taller, and his skin had darkened so you can no longer see his freckles. He was the pure image of his older brother, just a bit wimpier.
"Well 7 years can do that to you, and it's Nick now."
"I'm Robin," said Wren.
"Wesley" Wesley replied.
"Wilfred." said the boy they once called Mark.
"Well I guess none of us use's thier real names."
"Yeh, pretty much." said DD as she came from behind Robin and Nick. "It's Dawn Summers now," she said winking at Wesley.
"So I guess we're back." said Wilfred a giant smile on his face.
"Yeh...I guess we are."
With that they headed to Pinegreen and tried to get thier little sister to free Luke yet when they went to Pinegreen they saw something. She was with a family called the "Adam's" they where much like the Pryce family back when they lived in Pinegreen. They were beloved and adored by everyone in the town. A good wholesome family. Joni probably doesn't even remember her brothers because she was so young when it happened. She was so happy, so Wilfred and Wesley merely told Robin to drive, and keep going. They weren't going to rein her happiness.
Wesley was captured shortly after their even with Joni. He was then tortured by Emma, yet after telling her that no matter what she did or said he would still love her he broke her from the spell. Escaping they got Wesley to a hospital while Emma battle Luke. It was then Emma who freed Luke from his own spell of hatred.
Wesley saw them the morning after and told Luke he would take legal custody of him. Luke asked why and Wesley merely gave him an honest response.
"I want you back in my life William...your my brother...and nothing you can say or do will ever change that." he said his eyes twinkling as he looked up at him. William looked back at him as he cried and held his older brother. He had to learn again, William had to learn was love was again, and the only person who could teach him was Shadow. no Wesley...no Matthew no wait...his brother.
A month after that Buffy came to LA to inform Angel that a woman whom had grown close to all of the Scoobies was dead. Her name was Elizabeth Wattson. Turns out right after Emma turned good again her sister awoke, yet knew not to contact Wesley or he would die. Wesley thrown into a state of depression stayed home, and the only people he even really talked to was Emma, whom he only comforted. According to the scoobies, Emma was merely a new potential, unknown to them she had been a slayer longer then Buffy had.
Reunited, the Rugrats, as in Luke, Emma, and Nick spend a day together that ends with Luke getting slapped by an upset Emma after he tells that that fighting evil is useless.
Luke awakens from a dream, that has "The Demon" returning, the old demon that seemed unstoppable during thier first year at Pinegreen. Yet when he goes upstairs he only sees a weeping Wesley so he does his own investigation. He finds out Wesley was a marine. Telling Wesley he found out, and also informing Wesley that "The demon" is back he reunites with Emma, and Nick as they head towards Pinegreen to fight it once more. While he's there Wesley hooks up with an old Marine buddy Jennifer. Working together they find the demon. Yet in the end Jennifer takes out a gun and pulls the trigger and kills Wesley, transforms back into a demon and slithers away, telling Wesley's father that he is dead. The old man merely laughs.
In heaven Wesley meets up with a white wolf, with wings named Rein. She explains to Wesley everything.
Shadow" the wolf merely, said.
"Why do people call me that?"
The white wolf took a giant breath and began a story that explained everything.
"You know the story of Shadow, of how the first slayer was guided in her dreams by a god. Yet soon the slayers stopped obeying their dreams so he became human. And like human's he fell in love and had a child. He told of a prophecy, of how his blood will remain settling, and his own child bare no gifts. Not until the fourth generation of the fourth generation of the fourth generation of the fourth generation is born. They shall bare his powers, and it is they who shall decide to either save the world of destroy it.
Now 4 children where born...unknown to their families it was all of them that would possess the powers, not just one. Their powers were activated when they were again all together. Then they where chosen, which animal spirit should they get. You being the eldest, and being who you are got the wolf, Shadow's own spirit.
"What do you mean spirit?"
"Since the begging of time every champion, hero, or chosen one and such has had their own spirit. A mystical thing that guide's them with them knowing it or not. Very rarely do these spirits take physical form yet they do. Shadow's friends from up high when he became man, gave his spirit physical form."
"So Shadow, my shadow, my wolf-"
"Was your spirit? Wasn't it he who gave all of you your pendants?"
"What are those pendants?"
"The Pendant's are like keys that help you unlock the power inside of you." the she wolf merely replied.
"None of us have our pendants anymore except Wilfred, yet if he was captured there is no doubt that his pendant was taken from him."
"The pendants were merely key's. Of course the easiest way to enter a locked house is using a key, yet it isn't the only way."
"What are you talking about?" asked Wesley confused.
"Have you learned nothing Shadow?" she snapped.
"It's not that I haven't learned anything." he replied using his words carefully. "It's just I don't understand it."
The she-wolf merely sighed sitting on top of the gravestone.
"Very well, Shadow." she merely replied. "I believe this is one you must see for yourself." she gracefully jumped down from gravestone, reviling white angel like wings that perched on her back.
The she-wolf led him into a run down building of some sort. It's ceiling was crumbling, and it had a wide row that led up to some altar of some kind. On the altar was a large wide round bowl.
"Look into this Shadow." the she-wolf said gently. He did expecting some kind of flash of light and all the answer's, yet all he saw was his own reflection.
"It's just my reflection." he sighed.
"Everything that has happened up to this point has happened for a reason."
"Everything?" he asked arching a brow. He looked into the bowl and saw his father, hitting little him. It was like watching a movie.
"Your father being abusive," then the image changed to him being 18 and running away, "going into the military." the she wolf spoke, "the explosion that made you "dead". When in fact what you did was run away, sick of being in the military." Wesley looked into the bowl and saw his past life as a solider, the explosion in Iraq.
"Traveling the world, picking up certain talents that seem useless at the time will eventually make up who you are." showed him with a guitar, showed him with a sword, showed him meditating in some kind of shrine. "Going to the states, and running low on gas, and just making it to Pinegreen."
"Liz?" he asked looking up.
"Your meeting was destiny, yet your feelings for each other where not."
"Typical." he muttered under his breath.
"Elizabeth Wattson, is what we call "an inhuman."
"An inhuman?" asked Wesley arching a brow.
"Every once and a while, a human is born with a pure of heart. It is their destiny to guide those who need it. Liz is one of these, and her charge was her sister and you. Yet you human's some times call them "Angels"
After learning all of this Wesley returns to earth, yet now he returns as a shell, the god Shadow possessing his every being. He rescue's his three siblings, and Emma. He fights, with them and in the end Shadow leaves Wesley just in time for Wesley to stop Luke from killing thier father. And for Dawn, Robin and Nick to come help fight. Reunited the 4 Pryce siblings defeat "The Demon" at last, yet in the process they all die. In heaven once more, reunited with each other and Liz they spend thier days happily. Luke and Emma finally confess their feelings for each other, while they were a happy family once more. Yet, Wesley and Liz knew thier time was limited in heaven because Wesley had made a deal with Rein. They defeat "The Demon" then their destiny's are changed. Wesley's destiny belongs with Angel, not his siblings. While everyone else returns to earth, no memory, and with happy families. Because that's all that mattered to Wesley, that they where happy. But then he met Gabriel Morgan Wyndam-Pryce and things changed.
