Disclaimer: (sigh) I only own Adam and Helena.

Author's note: This is it folks. The last chapter, it's been an emotional rollercoaster hasn't it. We all laughed when Johnny was scared of Ben and gasped when Valeria died. But the end is nigh so I want to thank absolutely everyone who reviewed my story. I would list the names but I've got a few minutes to post this chapter before I have to leave the computer for a month (my SATS are coming up so no more fanfiction for a while) . You guys know who you are right? Good good. Now I guess it's on with the grand finale.

As the scene faded Reed could still hear Sue crying. Slowly the café began to reappear. Reed was sitting on the same stool beside Adam in the warm corner. He was surprised to still see his coffee was still sitting on the counter. However this time Helena was back at work and talking to Sue.

"I really didn't mean it," Sue wailed. "It was just a slip of the tongue and he thinks I meant it," Sue started to cry again. Helena patted her soothingly and offered a hot drink.

"Aren't you going to go and talk to her?" Adam asked as he watched the scene.

"Yeah I guess,"

"I guess?"

"Now I don't know what to say. It's funny, only a minute ago I was bursting with things to say."

"Must have been the trip back."

"Just a minute ago I wanted to go and put my arms around her and tell her everything is going to be okay." Reed stared at his coffee as he spoke.

Sue dried her eyes and took a sip of the coffee in front of her. The serene silence in the café was broken by a distraught voice that Sue recognised instantly.

"When Victor hit her I wanted to be there and wipe away her tears and…and when he killed Valeria,"

Who's Valeria? Sue wondered as she listened to her fiancé ramble on to a strange man she'd seen once briefly. Reed's angel. She realised as Adam turned to look at her.

"But now that I can talk to her again I've gotten all tongue tied. Anyway what do I say? Hi Sue, how are you?" Reed asked Adam desperately.

"Well that might work. In fact I think it already has." Adam jerked his head towards Sue. Reed looked worriedly at his fiancée and realised her face was exactly the same. The couple exchanged shy smiles and Reed waved. Reed stood up and walked over to where Sue was sitting. He sat down at the stool beside her.

"So…how are you?" Reed asked nervously.

"I'm good…and you?" Sue replied.

"Great…I'm just…great. Listen Sue-" Sue put her fingers of Reed's lips.

"I am so sorry. Reed I didn't mean a word of what I said."

"No I'm sorry. I shouldn't have cancelled on you like that."

"It's not you it's me. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. The world is at stake and all I could think about was myself." Sue looked down disappointedly. Reed cupped her chin in his hand and lifted her head gently.

"You're far more important than anything else," Reed told her gently. Sue's face broke into a grin and she pulled Reed into a kiss. At that moment the door of the café swung open and two more familiar faces stepped in.

"There you are!" Johnny exclaimed as he spotted the couple.

"We've been looking all over for you," Ben added.

"I bet they agreed to meet up here just to ditch us," Johnny whispered to his companion. Ben rolled his eyes and decided to ignore Johnny's comment.

"I think I've got the perfect date for our wedding," Reed murmured as the couple parted.

"When?" Sue asked curiously.

"March 17th." Reed answered happily.

"Oh Reed," Sue threw her arms around her fiancé. "You actually managed to remember," A snort sounded from behind her. Sue turned around to face the culprit and came face to face with Johnny.

"St Patrick's day?" he asked through fits of laughter.

"No." She replied stiffly before turning back to Reed.

"It's the day we met." She added with a huge smile.

"So what? We're all gonna be wearing green tuxes and you gonna wear a green dress?" Johnny asked before laughing again. Ben was also finding it hard to keep a straight face.

"Oh grow up," Sue said angrily.

"Forget them." Reed said, as he shot glares at his best friend. Sue stopped shooting daggers at her brother and smiled at Reed.

"Come on, we've got a wedding to plan," She said happily. The couple linked hands and headed home followed by their laughing friends.
