She looked out the window into L.A it was beautiful, she listened to Kristina giggle and laughed with joy. Spike had come in and feed her and changed her played with her endlessly. Vampires had a lot of energy perfect for babies, her hair was growing back fast and she was getting her strength back in full force.



Kristina screamed in joy as Spike tickle and chased her around the playroom made just for her. Alexis smiled, when she felt Angel come into the room.



-He's so good with her. But your better like you had a lot of practice.-



Angel skirted around that comment.



-So you're back to good health, Willow and the gang have been working around the clock. Jason's called me every single day to hear we've got nothing knew.-



She smiled. Kristina giggled and yelled again.



-How at peace I am here but I don't want peace anymore Angel I want revenge.-

-On who Natasha? Far as we know you and Adella where wiped from the records. The council has made Willow persona non gradda sense she sided with me and all she got was no body knows nothing.-

-They wouldn't, it was all wipe out and locked in that crystal it will all slowly come back I can't rush it.-

-Then give me some gaps. Adella?-

-Dead.-

-Your father?-

-Dead.-

-The demon.-

-I'm proof she's not dead.-

-That may be a great problem for you.-



They turned to Illryia in a lab coat and normal human clothes.



-Why?-

-In using Fred's mind I did research.-

-What did you and Fred's mind find?-

-An experiment running in Port Charles on the same TYPE of creature to change her off spring.-

-To what?-

-Normal LOOKING males.-

-What does that mean?-



Angel said confuse. Alexis knew.



-Oh Jesus!-

-What?-

-The males seek out female host to carry their offspring. If they look NORMAL then they wouldn't have any trouble with normal human females. I have to go back to Port Charles and kill it.-

-Hold it your not that strong.- Angel said.

-I would agree.- Illryia nodded.

-So would I this thing is super powerful you'll need time.- Wesley put in.

-I don't have time. It promise to kill Adella's offspring I have to protect them.-

-I don't give a shit until you're strong enough your not going back.-

-But?-

-No.- Angel, Wesley, Illryia said in unison.



Alexis fumed where was Willow when she needed her. The redhead was once again on the phone with another watcher jackass. Giles had stopped reasoning with her all together and said when she came home then they'd talk. Willow told him about himself and was sure she'd hurt his feelings. He mumbles his apologies on Fred and confessed he never meant for it to happen after that he wouldn't take her calls.



Buffy on the other hand had a few choice words and Angel had to take the phone before a black eyed Willow set the Slayer on fire or to tears with what she was planning to say. Now the council was bullshiting her on the Adella Corinthos thing. Finally Xander being Xander had called.



-Xander they covered it all up.-

-Yes I'm sure how do you explain it.-

-No she getting better but Angel can't contain her much longer.-

-He very angry with Buffy he doesn't want to deal with her now. I know that he should have called when Cordy died but was it right after the we don't trust you thing. Did you expect more?-

-I thought so. He's still shaken up about it he misses her terribly.-

-Don't Xander you don't know what was happening between them like us they where a team and a family Cordy was the force and the center of that and no sooner Fred dies. I can safely say neither Buffy nor Giles is welcomed.-

-Wesley stabbed his best friend in the gut. Shot the a man dead for his part in Fred's death what do you think he'll do to them?-

-Yes Xander shot dead.-

-Well he's not the same Wesley believe me. None of them are the same sense the women died. Would you be?-

-Xander I need that information and right now I don't give a shit about hurt feelings people are dead here. Do you understand?-

-Good. Yeah bye.-



Angel stood in the doorway.



-I forgot about him.-

-Most do until he become the voice of reason.-

-Does that allot?-

-Lately yes. How is she today?-

-Livid. She wants to go back.-

-Not until I'm sure Angel.-

-I know.-

-Um boss?-

-Yes.-

-A mister Jax is looking for Alexis.-

-Who is he?-

-Really rich good looking Australian guy powerful to he want answers. Says he's a friend.-

-No.-

-But..-

-I said no.-

-Sorry I don't take no for and answer.- Jax said walking past her.

-He's here.- Harmony said.

-Where is Alexis?-

-Safe.-

-Really someone wants to see her.-

-Who?-

-Personal.-

-The Mobster who's been stalking her is that who?- Angel snapped.

-I would never let that bastard hurt her.- Jax said coldly

-Who is looking for her then?-

-Mr. Jax please we're trying to protect her.-

-Adella Corinthos.-

-Is dead.-

-I met the women she is very much alive.-

-How did..?-



Willow mind began to work then she looked at Angel.



-That crystal set a few thing right, why not this?-

-Your saying it brought Adella back from the dead.-

-Or to the future.-



Jax stared at the both of them. Willow smiled at him and grabbed his arm.



-Mr. Jax.-

-Just Jax.-

-Just Jax go back and tell Adella, Natasha will be home soon. That she's safe with Angel right.-

-Ah right safe as houses.- Angel said.

-Not until I see her myself.-



Just as if by magic Alexis steps of the elevator and smiles. Jax was nearly dropped first she looked five years younger, second she looked better the she ever did she and was glowing. Holding Kristina who was glowing herself. Who where these people?



-Jax!-

-Alexis? My god.-

-How are you? I missed you so much.-

-I'm fine you?-

-Much better. Can you say hi Kristina?-

-Hi.-

-Hello beautiful. Alexis I came to check up on you and to bring you home someone asking for you.-

-Who? Surely not Sonny?-

-No his mother.-



Alexis faltered and was about drop when Angel grabbed her and led her to a chair.



-Adella's alive.-

-Seem so, I assume its a Cassadine thing or YOUR current war with him.-

-No, unlike his ex I wouldn't do that.-

-Is Stephan alive?-

-No Jax its not my family I know what this is.-



She looked at Willow and Angel. They knew to, she had to go back to PC now.



-Okay I'm going back.-

-I don't have the answers I need yet Natasha.-

-Well then your going to have to do while I'm gone.-

-You're not safe.-

-I'm a slayer I'm safe enough.-

-I heard that before and you know what?- Willow was about to say.

-Willow, let it be.-



Looking at Angel she sighed in defeat.



-Fine but Kristina needs to be guarded.-

-I have the best security.-



Spike was walking by to Wesley office when Kristina saw him.



-SPIKE!-

-Hey my little peach.- She pulled out of her mother grasp and ran to him.

-I think she picked her guardian.-

-They say here Natasha I have to finish my tests.- Willow said.

-Fine, Angel can we barrow one of those jets of yours.-

-Sure. Give Adella my best I'll join you when I can.-



She looked at Jax -Okay lets go.-



Spike told Wesley about Natasha and he was a little apprehensive. He got the feeling that his father name would come up in this sooner or later in this matter. Ruthless as he can be, he was glad she was leavening Kristina with them. Alexis said her good byes to everyone telling them she'd see them soon enough. They promised to keep working on the details of what happen to her and Adella. She meet Jax at the airport with her daughter as escort, she said goodbye to Kristina and Spike and climb on board the plane. Back to Port Charles.



Sonny sat in the darkness of the apartment his mother was out again she'd been looking for something she was vague about what. She came home and railed him for being a baby about this whole thing. They talked that night she had told him he had his whole history wrong. It was allot to think about, Sam left after that she said it wasn't him it was the whole Carly thing, he understood.



That night



*

-ENOUGH!-

-Is it I've heard about your life Michael you look a little tired of the endless bullshit yourself.-

-How would you know you don't know him.-

-I'm his mother I know him well enough.-

-I said ENOUGH. You to Carly.-

He looks at Adella.

-Where have you been all this time did you abandon me like Mike did?-

-No.-

-I remember you always leavening, always going out.-

-I was going to tell that last night Michael about me I thought after that fight you where ready as you can see it didn't turn out that well.-

-This is a crock!-

-Carly for once shut up and let the women finish.- Elizabeth said.

-I'm still not done with you Muffin.-

-Oh go-ahead take your best shot you bitch!-

-I'm not going to say it again, ENOUGH. [Sonny snapped] So how did this happen?-

-I don't know Michael and when I find out I'll tell you but right now is not the time.-

-Now's a time as good as any so I'm waiting.-



Classic Corinthos growl but it didn't faze Adella.



-I don't think so bub, you don't get to dictate.-

-Why not he dictates everything else.- Ric said.

-You shut up.-

-Hey don't talk him like that in my presence again.-

-You know what you're precious son did?-

-Yes, I do and the only person I feel bad for is him [pointing at Ric] and my grandson. If your not getting it I don't like you big mouth.-

-Oh I don't give a damn, you're not real and I'm what maters in his life.-



Sam couldn't take anymore.



-I sleep with him and I know what matter no illusions right Sonny.-



He nodded.



-Then let me give you both some hard truth. This witch in destructive and she's made you destructive you seem to have a pension for them me being one myself I call them like I see them. Seems to me the only two women out of four that was any good for you was Lilli and Alexis. The two you betrayed for Brenda and Carly.-



Sonny brows went up Adella smiled.



-Brenda and Carly are childish little girls who care only for themselves and what they want now. With Alexis and Lilli it wasn't and isn't in their nature, but its all you. You pick the women you want to be with and that what's ruined your life and happiness you need more danger then what you bring on yourself with your line of work so you pick the self destructive ones.-



Adella liked this girl.



-Here some advices don't.-

-Don't that's it?- Sonny said.

-Your not an animal you have self control use it. Don't choose Carly again don't make that mistake again. Break the cycle you'll be a lot happier I'll see you later. Adella nice to meet you.-

-Real pleasure sweetheart and thanks.-

-No problem.-



Sam walked out, she came back only to say goodbye. The night ended with Lorenzo taken Carly home. Courtney, Mike and Elizabeth left quietly, Courtney made a point to have lunch with Adella later.



*

The door opened he figured it was his mother.



-I said in court the you where unstable, sitting in the dark drinking would be a sign of that you know.-



Sonny got up and turned on the light. Alexis stood there looking like something he'd never seen before. He swallow and studies her she looked younger and stronger all at once. Her hair was to her shoulders, she had on a skintight leather jacket and slakes. She slammed the door behind her, Sonny realized that this was first time he faced her sense the trail and so did she.



-So here I am. Lets do this Sonny lets toss insults back and forth threaten me and I'll threaten you. Then once where done with the mobster way, we'll do it my way.-

-Yeah and what's that?-

-I beat you within an inch of your life and call it a day. I'm game for anything call the boys in and I sit around whoop your asses.- She was serious.

-Alexis you went after me.-

-I said I would, my sister, Zander all casualties to yours and Carly's bullshit.-

-Save it I've already heard this before.- Alexis snorted

-Adella let you have it. Good doesn't mean where square and you know it. You call me those things to my face when you did just as much betraying as you say I did.-

-YOU TURNED ON ME!- Sonny yelled in anger.

-DON'T BARK AT ME LIKE SOME RABID DOG AND THINK I'M GOING TO BACK OFF.-
