Good or Evil?
Daniel Jackson didn't believe that he was doing this. He was in LA because there was a possible lead on Ball, but that had been a dead end, so here he was, sitting in a bar, with a man who looked like he had been down some tough roads in his life, "I failed everyone. I broke the heart of the only woman I've ever truly loved. I lost my only true friend in the world, I allowed my only child to be kidnapped by my greatest enemy, and a woman who gave up a life time of happiness to save me, she's dead, now what am I doing? Running Wolfram and Hart, the worst evil law firm that I have been fighting against for four years. Why?"
Daniel listened to the man in pain and answered, "A very wise woman once told me that we cannot weigh our souls, that we must judge our intentions, for the only thing we can truly control is whether we are good... or evil."
Angel saw the faces of the fallen heroes: Doyle, Cordelia, now Fred. And the ones lost to him, Connor... Buffy. And he knew what he had to do. With a thanks to the stranger sitting next to him, he left and began formulating a plan. A plan that would let the Senior Partners know that when they got him to run Wolfram and Hart, they had not won, when he had left Sunnydale, left Buffy, he had promised himself that he would protect the helpless and rid the world of evil. Well he had seen their faces and he would remove them from this earth. He would not let the Apocalypse come at their own pace, he would force them to show their hand.

Angel had gotten ahold of Buffy under the wire of Wolfram and Hart's noses, and that wasn't easy. "What's this about?" Buffy asked.
"I'm going to piss of the Senior Partners at Wolfram and Hart, want in?"
"By piss off you mean what exactly?"
"I'm going to kill the Black Thorn. Me and my people can handle them, what I want is your help with the aftermath. If we succeed, the Senior Partners are going to throw everything they've got at us. I am planning this in four months, that'll give you enough time to train your Slayers to prepare for the pounding we're going to get. And get all mortals out of the way." Angel lifted his glass.
Buffy lifted her glass ready to 'cheers' with Angel's glass, "I'm in," she said, "But you want us to keep up pretenses, I'll still 'think' of you as evil."
"Yep, we'll have em by the balls." Said Angel, and with that they clinked their glasses to cheer to their plan and the end, and perhaps a new beginning.
The End
