Disclaimer: I don't own anything
Author's note: This chapter isn't much. But next chapter is much better, I PROMISE. Ashley says thank you to all reviewers and I would also like to express my gratitude with responses.
TheTorch: (singing) I got you hooked. I got you hooked. I'm glad you're enjoying this. I hope this chapter doesn't disappoint you.
ChrisFan13: I LOVE YOUR LONG REVIEWS! They're so good. I'm guessing somebody doesn't like Reed very much. You said Sue deserves a guardian angel. I believe EVERYONE has a guardian angel, to keep you happy I have included mention of Sue's angel. I MIGHT add Ben and Johnny's to the mix later on.
DirrtyXtina87: You like it? I hope so cos the more the merrier. Now
here's somebody who DOES like Reed.
Nenokas: It makes me happy when people want me to update. You like my angel idea and that only makes me happier. I'm sorry this chapter isn't much. But next chapter WILL be better.
Reed's jaw dropped open. He stared at Adam.
"Speechless?" Adam asked, the small smile never leaving his face. "Helena said Sue was exactly the same,"
"S…Sue? Helena?" Reed managed to stutter. Adam slapped his forehead.
"Sorry, I completely forgot. You remember the waitress from the café? Her name is Helena, she's Susan's guardian angel. Every human has one."
After a few minutes of processing the information Adam had told him, Reed was still in shock.
"So…why did you come?" Reed asked calmly.
"You called. I thought THAT would be pretty obvious,"
"But I didn't call for help from an angel,"
"Yes you did. My watch told me it was an emergency that required us to meet."
"What?"
"Every time you're in trouble or danger, my watch lets me know and I come down to supervise you. You can't see me but I'm there, sorting out the situation."
"So what kind of …emergency is this?" Reed asked; he was now getting very interested.
"Suicidal. I had to direct you to my office, pretend it was a café so we could meet and THEN tell you about me. Actually it's not my office, the man upstairs lent it to me for my first meeting mission."
"I wasn't going to kill myself," Reed said, hurt by the matter.
"Oh, not on purpose but you were so unaware of everything. What would stopped you from walking out into a road?"
"I guess," Reed admitted.
Reed was astounded; Adam's watch was amazing. The technology was out of this world. He handed the watch back to Adam and sighed. Adam's smile dropped and his face suddenly became very serious.
"How're you feeling Reed," He asked. The evening's events flooded back into Reed's mind and he put his head in his hands.
"I don't know," he muttered. "I think part of me feels the same," Adam frowned.
"You mean you agree with Sue?" He asked in disbelief.
"No! I mean yes…oh I don't know. I can't imagine what life would be like without her. But …but if she doesn't want me I guess I can only agree. You know…to take the pain away." Reed looked up at Adam. Adam observed the pain in his eyes and came to a conclusion. He stood up and picked up his coat. Reed watched him put on his trench coat and hat with a frown on his face.
"Come with me Reed," Adam said as he headed towards the door of his office. Reed stood up and followed him, a bewildered expression plastered on his face.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"To see you," Adam replied simply. Reed furrowed his brow and stared at Adam. His expression was replaced with shock when Adam threw the door open.
"Recognise this place?" Adam asked. Reed nodded slowly and stepped out the office and onto the quiet street. Adam followed him into the street and closed the door behind him, the door vanished the second it closed. Reed was too shocked to notice, he walked up to the house in front of him. A '49 Ford Cabriolet Custom was parked in the driveway. Reed looked fondly at the car that had once belonged to his father.
"It's my parent's house," he murmured softly.
"We can go inside if you want," Adam suggested. Reed nodded and walked towards the front door, he put his hand forward to touch the doorknob but his hand went straight through it. He pulled it back quickly and stared at it. Reed touched the doorknob with his other hand; it too went straight through. Reed inspected his hands; they were still solid. He looked at Adam for some sort of explanation. Adam watched him blankly.
"Oh of course," Adam slapped his forehead. "I forgot…again. Okay, I'm giving you the chance to see what life would have been like for you and your friends if you and Susan never met. This is an alternate universe; to stop you from interfering you have been given a…spirit form. You can't touch anything and nobody can see you. Ok? Oh and they can't hear you or me." Reed nodded slowly.
"Shall we go in?" Adam asked brightly. Reed nodded again and walked through the door.
Next chapter - AU Reed.
