Angel watched the woman sitting near him and gave him a brief instant to play again the events that leaded them to her comeback; she was back to this realm five years after their battle against the senior partner. As he learned from Cordelia for two year she frequently wandered in this realm and no one felt her presence. She helplessly saw them distancing themselves from each member of their rebuilt family.
Without shanshu and without any purpose he kept running Wolfram and Hart with the help of the Fang Gang and the new comers Faith Spike and Lilah. In fact he gave Spike the running of New Orleans branch. The couple was sitting, hidden from the crowd by the darkness ambient.
Angel indulged himself at reminding himself about the few past years.
At the beginning she was a ghost, a reminiscence of what had be my life, but while I rebuilt this life and return in part at my path as a champion of the power, she started to reappear in this realm for longer period, as Spike, She was just a hollow a ghost but no attached to an amulet or to a person or an object.
One week after his parting, Spike, contacted me, informing me that Dru was at New Orleans living at the Old French district of the city and just before ending his call he told me the being the prophetesses sensed that day was the Cheerleader.
Sometimes she disappeared for days or weeks, fighting for the Powers in other realms, I tried to find a way to join her but the Oracles refused to allow me this, I made a mistake a big one when I sign up my shanshu and three years later they still resented me.
But for some reason they accepted my attempt to bring back my Seer; at each soul I saved she was able to become more visible for the human being, Spike was the first one to see her, then it was me the next one was Wesley because he had been the closest person to her heart, but even if all of them were able to see her and speak to her she hadn't be able to materialise herself in this world, they needed powerful channel of energy, in California there is nothing more powerful than the hell mouth but the corrupted power should be purged by the truest expression of love.
Gunn and Fred decided the wedding will be celebrated at the newly rebuilt Sunnydale. It wasn't a hard decision, because the blessing of the priest will be the purification factor of the energy of the hell mouth which will allow us to open the gate between the two realms. At the end of the ceremony Cordelia emerged in a shining light. She was anew material in this World, Fred and all her department hadn't been helpful, they could've help Spike but not Cordelia.
All criticism is welcome, but make it constructive. I hope I didn't make to much mistakes while writing the fic, I checked and tried to correct thanks to dictionary.
Kisses and enjoy
