A/N: Well here is the second part of my crossover with Angel. I hope you enjoy it!
Angel walked through the doors of the Hyperion and every turned to him, the same look written on all of their faces. Hope.
"So" Dean was the first to speak up. "Where did you go?" Angel walked down the steps further into the Lobby.
"I needed to talk to a source" Angel replied.
"You have a source on Wolfram and Hart?" Cordelia asked. If so this source could've help them out so many times before.
"No, not a source on Wolfram and Hart" Angel replied. "A source on Katie" They all looked at him confused. "Her name is Urim and she's and…"
"Angel" Elizabeth interrupted.
"Wait Katie's mentioned this Urim" Dean replied and Sam turned to him.
"Why have I never heard of her?" Sam asked and Dean remembers Katie asking that conversation to stay between the two of them.
"What did she say?" Elizabeth asked. "Does she know how we can find my daughter?"
"We can't" Angel replied before turning to Dean. "But he can" They all turned to Dean who just stared in shock at Angel.
"What do you mean I can find her" Dean snapped. "I don't know where she is"
"Yeah, but you're the only connection we have to her" Angel replied. "That vision she sent you is proof that you two are connected" Dean looked over at Sam and then back at Angel.
"What do I do?" Dean asked.
"I don't know" Angel replied. "Urim said you would have to figure it out"
"That's just great" Dean said throwing up his hands.
"Dean, it can't be that hard" Sam replied. "Katie was able to do it"
"Yeah, she's had years of experience" Dean snapped. "I have to figure this out like now"
"Maybe all the talking is stressing you out" Cordelia says. "Maybe we should get you a room, so you can focus" Cordelia grabbed Dean's arm and ushered him upstairs. They walked down a hall and stopped outside one of rooms. "Here you go" they walk into the room and Cordelia turned to him. "Look I know you're worried about your wife, but right now you're her only hope"
"Thanks for that" Dean says sarcastically. Like he didn't have enough pressure.
"Sorry I don't have time to sugar coat this for you" Cordelia replied. "Time matters in this situation" Dean nodded and Cordelia turned and left leaving him alone.
"How do I find you princess?" Dean asked himself taking a seat on the edge of the bed and laying back to look up at the ceiling.
Katie turned when she heard the door of her cell open. She jumped up to her feet, as a couple of masked me grabbed her arms. Katie looked forward to see Lila and Davina walk in. She looked at the syringe in Lila's hand.
"Don't do this" Katie begged.
"Oh, listen to that" Davina says smiling. "She's actually begging for her life"
"No, I'm begging for yours" Katie replied. "You stick me with that and you will pay"
"As much as we would like to see you pull that one off" Lila says. "We have a schedule to keep, so this is your last chance, are you going to give up the info?"
"No" Katie seethe and both Lila and Davina smiled.
"We were hoping you said that" Lila says making her way to Katie and injecting the contents of the syringe in Katie's neck. They watches as her movements slowed and her eyes seemed to fight to stay open all the way until she finally went limp.
"Take her to the exam room" Lila ordered and the masked guards carried Katie out of the room.
"This is going to be so much fun to watch" Davina said rubbing her hands together.
"You're not watching" Lila says. "You're assigned to Angel duty, it's too quiet in that hotel and I don't like it" Lila turned to the woman. "I want to know what they're planning" Davina watched the woman walk out of the room. She truly was disappointed she would miss all the fun. She turned and left the room.
Fred looked up to see Sam staring off into space. She knew he must be worried about his sister in law and his brother.
"I'm sure he'll figure it out" Fred said and Sam turned to her snapping out of his daze.
"Huh, yeah" Sam replied looking back down at the articles in his hand.
Angel was sitting at his desk when there was a knock at his door. He looked up to see Katie's mother looking over at him.
"You mind if I had a word?" She asked and Angel nodded for her to come in. She closed the door and walked over and sat in the chair in front of his desk. "How do you know about Urim?"
"Why do you ask?" Angel asked.
"Because, I've come to know these angels quite well, and they don't reveal themselves to just anyone" She replied. "Why you?"
"She was afraid" Angel replied. "It was too early for her or any other angels to reveal themselves to her, so she asked for my help"
"To stop her from killing Jennings" Elizabeth stated.
"That's what I thought at first" Angel replied. "But when I looked at her, I knew she wasn't a killer"
"Then why did they send you to find her?" Elizabeth asked.
"I still don't know" Angel replied.
"You're on time" Katie replied as Angel walked over.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Angel asked.
"I don't know, I just do associate vampires and punctuality" Katie replied. "So I scoped the place out earlier and there are a lot of places Wolfram and Hart could place assassins"
"So they know for sure that you're not gonna do it?" Angel asked.
"No, but they have their doubts" Katie replied. "And they're gonna have a backup plan" They walked into the auditorium that was already filling up. "Best spots with perfect view of the stage are there" she pointed to the balcony. "There" She pointed to the opposite balcony. "And there is a cat walk right above the podium."
"That's three areas to cover with only two people" Angel replied.
"Not exactly" Katie replied looking around the vampire. Angel turned to see a tall, muscular man with patchy stubble walking toward them.
"I knew you couldn't stay away" JT replied walking over to them. He looked Angel over and then turned back to Katie. "Who's this guy?" Angel glared at the man and recognized the thick Irish accent.
"JT, this is Angel, Angel JT" Katie introduced. "For the next couple of hours we are a team, making sure nothing happens to Jennings during this debate"
"Wait, you called me for a job?" JT asked.
"Why else would I call you?" Katie asked.
"Well, I thought maybe you'd have a change of heart" JT said with a lopsided grin.
"You thought I all of a sudden forgave you for cheating on me?" Katie asked and JT just nodded a yes. "You should be glad I don't beat the crap out of you" She shook her head. "That's your position" She pointed up to the balcony. "You see anyone suspicious you take them out, go it?" JT was silent and Katie turned to look at him. "Are you pouting?" JT turned his face away.
"It's just when you called you were a little misleading" JT remarked and Angel quirked an eye at the man.
"JT" Katie said more sympathetic and the he turned to her. "If you don't get your Irish ass on that balcony, I will make sure people find you at the end of rainbows"
"Fine, I have to grab my gear out of my truck" JT grumble something else under his breath before turning and walking away from the two.
"So he's…?" Angle asked.
"Yes, he's my ex-boyfriend, a very recent ex so you know I was desperate to call him" Katie remarked. "I'll take the catwalk, so that leave you with the other balcony" Katie turned and Angel caught her arm and she turned to look at him.
"Be careful" Angel said and Katie gave him a small smile.
"You too, Angel Face" Katie replied before heading to her post.
"Don't call me that" Angel called after her and she turned and she wore a big beautiful smile, and if his heart actually had a beat it would've skipped on at that moment. She turned around and continued to the stage. Angel felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see JT looking at him.
"I know what you're feeling right now" JT said. "But it's not gonna happen man, she's obviously still in love with me"
"Obviously" Angel replied before walking off.
"You did something" Elizabeth said tearing Angel away from his memory. "You may not know you did, but you did something for her, no one else could"
"Maybe" Angel replied. "So how well do you know your son in law?"
"Not well I'm afraid, but I don't know my daughter that well" Elizabeth said. "I do know he loves her and she loves him"
"Do you think he can do it?" Angel asked.
"Magic is a tricky thing" Elizabeth replied. "Love is even trickier, and combining the two can prove to be nearly impossible for someone inexperienced"
"So that's a no" Angel said.
"No, I said nearly impossible" Elizabeth stood to her feet. "Meaning there is always a chance" Angel watched as the woman headed to the door.
"She's like you" Angel replied and Elizabeth turned to look at him. "I thought you should know"
"Thank you" Elizabeth replied. "Hopefully one day she'll forgive me and I'll get to see for myself" The woman sighed and walked out of his office.
Katie lifted very heavy eyelids trying to focus her vision, which was hard seeing as there was an extremely bright light staring down at her. She tried moving but she was lying on her back on something cold and her head, wrists and ankles were tied down. Suddenly a face appeared above her smiling.
"I was hoping you'd wake up soon" the man said. He had bad teeth and his hair was slick down as if with mud. He brought his face closer to Katie's and she nearly vomited in her own mouth at the stench from his breath. "I didn't want you to miss the fun"
"Who are you and what are you going to do to me?" Katie asked a bit slurred. The drugs she was injected with, still heavily in her system.
"I'm Dr. Payne" the man said. "You must realize that I'm not the one doing this to you, you're doing this to yourself" He ran a finger across Katie's cheek, with a long finger nail. "This will all end when you give the word"
"Well, then I guess we better get started then" Katie said her heart feeling like it was about to beat out of her chest. She was frightened, and she didn't know what to do. She had to figure out how to embrace this light before it was too late.
"Oh, I'm so happy you said that" the Dr. replied before lifting his head and clapping his hand. Katie heard movement but she couldn't move her head to see where it was coming from. She felt the man's cold hands touch, her's. "I'll take this" he held up her wedding ring and Katie pulled against the restraints but it was no use. "For our first experiment jewelry is prohibited" The man stuck the rings in his chest pocket. Katie watched as the he began sticking something to her forehead, arms and legs. "This is going to be electrifying"
"Ooh he's gonna electrocute her" Davina said and Lila glared up at her from her seat.
"Aren't you supposed to be looking in on Angel?" Lila asked.
"There's no movement" Davina replied. "Everyone's staying inside, they're definitely planning something and unless we get ears in there we may never know what it is"
"Which is nearly impossible" Lila replied. "Every time we plant bugs, he finds them"
"You know I thought I recognized this guy" Davina said. "He was locked up, declared clinically insane for some experiments he would run on human test subjects"
"Which is why we thought he'd be perfect for this job" Lila said and Davina smiled down at her.
"I'm going to go find a chair" Davina replied walking off to find her a seat. She definitely didn't want to miss this.
Dean lay in the bed clenching his eyes closed trying desperately to focus on Katie, but he couldn't do it. He didn't know what he was supposed to be doing or how was he supposed to find her with some weird mind trick. This was ridiculous. Dean sat up off the bed.
"A girl could get use to this" Katie said leaning her head against Dean's chest with his arms wrapped around her. They were sitting on Bobby's porch swing and the cool night air was just right. "One day I would like my very own porch swing"
"Where would you like to have this porch swing?" Dean asked. He had to admit that, this was nice. Just him, the quiet and his woman.
"On our porch" Katie replied.
"Since when do we have a porch?" Dean asked.
"It's our future porch smart ass" Katie replied and Dean smiled. "On our future house"
"Tell me more about this future house of ours" Dean replied.
"Well there is a white picket fence of course"
"Of Course" Dean said.
"And there is a big oak tree in front of the house where a tire swing hangs" Katie said. "On the porch there is our swing where you and I make it a point to sit every night together"
"Every night?" Dean asked.
"Yes, every night until we got tired of it" Katie replied.
"I don't think I could ever get tired of this" Dean replied placing a kiss on top of Katie's head. She lifted her head and locked eyes with him and smiled.
"Me neither" she replied and he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
Dean smiled but that smile faded when he suddenly felt a burning sensation all over his body. He fell back on the bed as his body began shaking uncontrollably. He clenched his eyes shut and suddenly the sight of Katie strapped to a table with wires streaming from her. He looked up to see a man with some kind of dial in his hand and every time he turned it, it sent a shock of electricity through Katie's body.
"Baby!" Dean screamed trying to run to her, but he couldn't he move. He was forced to stand there and watch his wife being tortured. He looked around and spotted that Lila woman along with Davina sitting watching as this happened. His blood boiled at the smiles on their face. They were enjoying this. He turned back to Katie, as the man turned the dial down. Her breathing was erratic and her fists were clenched.
"You've had enough?" The man asked.
"That's… all you got?" Katie said through the pain. An evil grin came to the man's face as he turned the dial again and Dean couldn't bear the blood curdling scream that erupted from his wife.
"Dean!" Sam yelled shaking his brother. Dean opened his eyes and looked over at Sam, who wasn't alone. He looked to see Fred, Cordelia, Wesley and Elizabeth standing over him with worried glances. "Dean what just happened?" Sam asked helping Dean sit up.
"I can't do this" Dean said before standing off the bed and walking out of the room. He stormed down the stairs and back out into the garden court. He looked up at the stars and took a deep breath. He could still feel the pain from the electricity going through his body.
"Dean" Angel said and Dean didn't turn to face him.
"Look I don't need some pep talk right now" Dean snapped.
"I know…"
"No you don't" Dean snapped turning to face the man. "You don't ..., you didn't see what they were doing to her, and you couldn't hear her screaming out in pain" Dean shook his head and turned away from the Angel. "All I could do was watch, she's hurting and I can't do a damn thing, what kind of husband is that, huh?"
"There's nothing you could do?" Angel said. "Look did you see anything, anything at all that could give us a clue as to where she was" Dean closed his eyes trying to recall something, but he just ended up with nothing.
"No, damnit nothing "Dean said looking back over at Angel. "I can't do this, I can't be the one to find her, there has to be another way, someone else, something!"
"Dean, there isn't!" Angel snapped walking over him. "You're the only one who can do this; everything is depending on you right now"
"Dean"
Dean heard someone say his name. It was faint but he heard it. He turned to see if there was someone else around but there wasn't.
"Dean"
There it was again. He recognized the weak voice.
"Are you listening to me!" Angel snapped.
"Will you shut the hell up!" Dean snapped. "I can hear her"
"Who, Katie?" Angel asked and Dean held his hand up to tell the man to shut up.
"Princess?" Dean said.
"Dean, I don't have much time" Katie said. "I'm not strong enough to hold this connection"
"Yes, you are you can't give up" Dean replied. "I'm gonna find you and everything will be fine"
"Dean, always remember that I love you" Katie whispered.
"No, no, no last words remember" Dean said. "Just hold on"
"What's going on?" Cordelia asked as the rest of the group came outside.
"It's Katie" Angel replied. "I think she's saying goodbye"
"What?" Sam said looking over at Angel before turning to his brother.
"Katie!" Dean yelled but he didn't hear anything. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart as he dropped to his knees.
The room was silent as everyone looked between the crazy doctor on the motionless witch on the metal slab. The only sound heard was a long beep of the heart monitor as it flat lined.
"She isn't dead is she?" Lila asked standing to her feet. "She can't be dead" the woman walked over to Katie's still body and looked up at the doctor. "You weren't supposed to kill her, not until we got what we wanted"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist the urge to see how much she could take" Dr. Payne replied. "I'm still amazed she lasted this long"
"I don't care how amazed you are!" Lila snapped. "She can't be dead, bring her back"
"I can't" the man replied and Lila growled.
"Someone, get him out of my sight" Lila said and suddenly two guards grabbed the man and took him away.
"What are we going to do?" Davina asked. "This can't be happening"
"Shut up!" Lila snapped. "I'm trying to think" Both women turned and looked at the dead body of Katherine Winchester.
"Dean!" Sam yelled kneeling down and grabbing his brother's arm. Dean just stared into space. She was gone, he could feel it. Gunn ran over and help Sam bring Dean to his feet. They brought him back into the hotel and sat him on the couch that sat in the middle of the lobby. They all followed behind them, except for Angel and Elizabeth who couldn't bring themselves from moving.
"My baby" Elizabeth whispered as tears began falling from her eyes. "I'm sorry, baby" She knew this was going to happen, she saw it but she didn't do anything to stop it.
Angel's fist clenched as the wind blew through the garden court. He couldn't believe that she was gone. He assumed they had more time. He shouldn't have depended on Dean, he should have just taken matters into his own hands and found her himself.
Angel watched from his perch on the balcony as the debate seemed to wrapping up and there still was no sign of Wolfram and Hart's goons. He looked over at the other balcony to see JT staring off in to space, when suddenly a shot blared through the auditorium. Everyone screamed and panicked trying to get out. Angel and JT shared a look before Angel jumped from the balcony to the first floor. JT stared in confusion at how he just did that, before the man turned and went to the stairs. Angel made his way to the stage where security was pulling to candidates off to safety. Angel looked up to see Katie fighting with someone on the catwalk before that someone tossed Katie over the edge. Angel watched as she hung from the catwalk. JT ran on stage and looked up to see the woman.
"Katie!" JT yelled. "We have to help her" JT said before running to the steps that lead to the catwalk. Angel tried standing under her in case she fell, so he could catch her. To his surprise she began pulling herself up back on to the catwalk; the attacker tried kicking her off, but with a flick of her wrist sent the man flying. Angel went over and began easily scaling the wall until he reached the catwalk, just as JT ran up. "How did you get up here so fast?"
"Are you ok?" Angel asked walking over to Katie. He grabbed her arm and helped her to her feet.
"Yeah, I 'm good" Katie replied looking over to the vampire. "Jennings?"
"He's safe" Angel replied. "Thanks to you"
"Thanks to all of us" Katie replied looking as the people still were running out of the building. She heard the sound of sirens. "We should get out of here" Angel waited for Katie in the alley, they agreed on, but she was late. He heard something and turned to see JT walking toward him.
"Where is she?" JT asked.
"I don't know" Angel replied. He looked around the alley, but he couldn't even smell her scent. She was nowhere around.
"Maybe she just left" JT said and Angel turned to him. "That's how she is, when the job is done no goodbyes, no nothing just gone" Angel glanced around once more before turning to the man.
"Yeah, maybe" Angel replied before walking off.
"Dean" Sam said as his brother stared into oblivion.
"She's gone Sam" Dean finally said. "She's…"
"Dean, are you sure?" Sam asked. "Maybe there was some kind of mistake, maybe there's an explanation…"
"No, Sammy" Dean looked up at his brother and a tear fell from his eye. "She's gone" Sam stared down at his brother for a long moment before plopping down on the couch next to his brother.
"What do we do now?" Fred asked breaking the silence. They all were quiet not sure how to answer that question.
"Where am I?" Katie asked as she looked around. She seemed to be standing in an infinite white space. There was nothing, no doors or windows, just white. She looked down at her clothes to see that she was wearing a long, flowy white dress.
"It is time" Katie heard a voice say and she looked up to see a little girl.
"Who are you?" Katie asked walking over to the little girl. The little girl just smiled as her eyes began to glow a bright white. "You're the light, aren't you?"
"You are me, but I am not you" the little girl said.
"Right" Katie replied looking around. "Am I dead?"
"Yes, only because it is a necessity" the little girl replied. "To live, we must die"
"So, this was all part of the plan huh?" Katie asked. "This was all supposed to happen"
"So is it written, so shall it be" the little girl replied. Katie closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"What will happen to me if I do this?" Katie asked.
"You will finally see, the things that were hidden from you" the little girl replied. "You will know why you were chosen and for what purpose"
"It seems too easy" Katie replied. "To finally know, to finally know the truth"
"Well, there will be a price" the little girl replied. "There is a price for everything"
"What price?" Katie asked and the girl sighed. "What price!"
"You will have to give up, what you once were to become who you need you be" the little girl said.
"What does that mean?" Katie asked. "Are you saying I have to give up my life, everything…Dean?"
"It's the only way" the little girl said. "The world is at stake"
"The world" Katie repeated. "I can't save the world" The little girl smiled and took Katie's hand in her.
"Yes, you can" the little girl replied. Katie felt the tears fall down her cheek. She had to choose between the world and Dean. It was unfair.
"You want me to say goodbye to him?" Katie asked looking down at the girl. "You want me to just walk away?"
"It's the only way" the little girl replied. "It's your destiny" Katie turned away from the little girl. Yet again something was going to come between her and the man she loved. Now she had to choose between him and the world. But she knew there really wasn't a decision, because in one of those scenarios, he dies, everyone dies and that can't happen. She won't let it. Katie turned back to the little girl.
"What do I have to do?" Katie asked.
"All you have to do is say yes" the little girl replied. Katie nodded and opened her mouth to speak but the girl lifted a finger. "Not yet"
"Not yet?" Katie asked. "The when?"
"When the time comes you will know" she replied. "You and only you will know"
"So I can go back?" Katie asked and the girl nodded a yes.
"You should know everything will not be revealed to you" the little girl said. "It can't be, not yet. He must reveal them to you personally"
"So, I'll only have part of the puzzle?" Katie asked.
"Don't worry it'll be a big part" the girl replied.
"What do I do until then?" Katie asked.
"Use, your time wisely Katherine" the little girl said. "Oh, I almost forgot" the girl handed Katie the key to everything.
"What is this?" Katie asked looking down at the item in her hand.
"Your leash" the little girl replied with a smile.
Katie's eyes shot open, as she inhaled deeply causing both Lila and Davina to jump. They turned and looked down at the woman who they thought was dead.
"How is this possible?" Davina asked.
"I have no idea?" Lila replied. "I've never seen anything like this" Katie took a deep breath closing her eyes when soon the corners of her mouth lifted in a smile. When she opened them both women were surprised to see them white and glowing.
"Dean….Oh Deany poo"
Dean's head shot up at the voice. His hand shot up and rested on his heart. It was her, she was back. Dean stood to his feet and everyone looked at him in confusion.
"Dean, what going on?" Sam asked standing to his feet.
"She's back" Dean replied. "She's back I can feel her"
"She's back?" Elizabeth asked walking back into the lobby, Angel close behind her.
"Where is she?" Cordelia asked. Dean closed his eyes and focused with all him might on his wife, on his princess. Suddenly the sight of Katie lying on the metal slab flashed, and her eyes were glowing white. Soon the restraints that were holding her began snapping off. She sat up from the bed as Davina and Lila ran to get away, but both women suddenly hit the floor. Katie threw her legs over the side of the bed and smiled as if she were looking directly at Dean.
"What's happening to him?" Fred asked and they all turned to see Dean's finger as a white light seemed to radiate from them.
"I think it's her" Sam said when suddenly Dean turned around to face them.
"I know where she is" Dean replied a satisfied grin on his face. "Now, let's go get my woman" He turned and walked out of the hotel. Everyone looked at each other with confusion before going to follow behind him.
Everyone stood outside the location Dean had led them to. They all stared at the building, in both confusion and surprise.
"Uh, Dean" Sam said over to his brother. "You sure this is the place?"
"Yes I am Sammy" Dean replied. "She's in there"
"But it's a McDonald's" Cordelia remarked and everyone glared back at her. "Well it is, with the golden arch and everything"
"In a way this sort of makes sense" Wesley remarked. "I've always wondered how such an unhealthy establishment has become so successful"
"Well you guys can wait out here all you want" Dean replied before making his way into restaurant.
"Welcome to McDonald's" the clerk said looking at the large group that just came in. "Would you like to try any of the items on our value menu?"
"No, we want to know where you're hiding my wife" Dean said and the clerk looked back at him confused.
"I'm sorry sir, I don't know where your wife is" the clerk replied.
"Wolfram and Hart ring a bell" Angel snapped.
"Uh, let me get my manager" the clerk said before turning and walking away. They all stood there waiting, uncomfortably.
"Oh, screw this" Dean said before going behind the counter, the others right behind him. He made his way to the manager's office, just in time to see the man hang up the phone.
"Hey" Dean said grabbing the man by the collar and slamming him against the wall. "Where is…"
"In there" the man said pointing to what looked like a closet of some sort.
"Thank you" Dean replied releasing the man. They all turned to the door. Dean looked over at Angel and then over at Sam who just shrugged. Dean turned back to the door and opens it. He move a side a few jackets that were hanging up to reveal a lever. He turned the lever and suddenly the door slid open revealing a secret room. They walked through the door, to a flight of stairs. There was a siren going off and blinking lights up above.
"Who would've thought all of this under a McDonald's" Cordelia said as they made their way down the stairs.
"I knew there was something off about that Ronald McDonald guy" Sam said and Dean snorted.
"Of course you did" Dean replied. "In between the nightmares and bed wetting"
"Shut up Dean" Sam replied.
"Shouldn't there be like people here" Gunn asked holding his crossbow. "I mean it's why I brought this"
"Looks like they left in a hurry" Angel responded.
"Yeah, but why?" Wesley asked as they arrived at another door. Dean pulled the lever and the door slid open to reveal a totally destroyed room. The light fixtures hanging from the ceiling as sparks flew from them. Everything was smashed or turned over, but that's not where everyone's eyes were. They were on the smiling brunette who was swinging her legs like a little girl on the metal slab. She turned to them her eyes still illuminating a bright white.
"You found me" Katie said hopping off the table. She walked over to them. "I knew you would"
"Princess" Dean said staring at her eyes. No matter how many times he saw them like this, it always freaked him out.
"Oh, sorry" Katie said when suddenly her eyes were normal again. "Well, shall we go?"
"Wait" Dean said. "That was you just now?"
"Yeah" Katie replied. "Cool huh?"
"Yeah, but how" Dean replied. "How are you able to control it?"
"She finally embraced it" Elizabeth said moving closer. "She took control"
"Right you are mommy dearest" Katie replied.
"Took control of what exactly?" Angel asked and Katie turned toward him.
"I'll explain everything in greater detail, once we leave" Katie replied. "There is a cleanup crew on its way here and Wolfram and Hart never leaves anything behind" They all turned toward the door, when Katie just smiled and snapped her fingers, they all we standing in the lobby of the Hyperion.
"How did we…?" Fred asked and they all turned to Katie.
"What?" She asked. "It was faster"
"Ok, what is up with you?" Dean asked.
"What do you mean?" Katie asked. "I feel fine"
"But you're not acting fine" Dean replied. "You're acting like…I don't know but not yourself" Katie looked down at her hands and closed her eyes.
"It's the light" Katie opened her eyes and looked back at Dean. "It's still working its way through my system I guess, I'm sorry" Katie replied before wrapping her arms around Dean's neck and pulling him into a hug. Dean brought his arms around her back and pulled her closer to him. "Thanks for coming to get me"
"Anytime princess" Dean whispered before releasing Katie from the hug. Katie turned to the group of people, who'd all joined in the effort to help her.
"Thank you" Katie said. "You have no idea how much I appreciate what you've done"
"We didn't really do anything" Fred said.
"Yes you did" Katie replied. "You may not know it now, but one day you will"
"What aren't you telling us?" Angel asked and Katie turned to him.
"I can't say" Katie replied. "Not, yet anyways but all will be revealed soon"
"What does that mean?" Sam asked and Katie turned to him.
"It means that one day all secrets will be revealed" Katie said.
The next morning Katie looked over at a sleeping Dean, and kissed him on the cheek before slipping out of bed. She put on some clothes and quietly made her way out of the room. She walked down the stairs to an empty lobby. She knew everyone wasn't asleep. She knocked on the door and opened it before he could respond.
"You know normal people usually wait for a response after knocking" Angel said as Katie walked in and took a seat in front of his desk.
"When's the last time you saw a normal person?" Katie asked.
"Point taken" Angel replied. "How do you feel?"
"Better, for someone who had been tortured less than twelve hours ago" Katie replied.
"Well you look well, extremely well actually" Angel said. "Why is that exactly?"
"You really want to know?" Katie asked and Angel nodded. "Well what if I told you that I am not only a witch"
"What else are you?" Angel asked and Katie leaned forward placing her palms on the desk.
"I'm the key to stopping the apocalypse" Katie replied with a satisfied grin before sitting back and folding her arms over her chest.
"Oh" Angel said and Katie quirked an eyebrow.
"Oh?" Katie replied. "I tell you something like that and all you say is 'Oh'"
"Well, it's not that big a deal" Angel replied. "I've stopped a couple of apocalypses in my time"
"Yeah, well, so" Katie replied knowing how childish she sounded at that moment. Angel couldn't help the smile that came to his lips.
"There's still something I'm confused about" Angel said. "Why did Urim come to me?"
"Because you set this whole thing in motion Angel face" Katie replied standing to her feet. "You made me believe that world actually deserved to be saved, thanks for that, for everything" Angel watched her leave and thought her words.
Angel was sitting in his office, in the dark. It had been two days and there was still no word from Katie. Maybe that JT guy was right, maybe she just left. For some reason he couldn't bring himself to believe it.
"Do you always just sit in the dark like this?" Angel turned to see her staring over at him. "It's kind of depressing and weird"
"You know normal people knock when they come in a room" Angel said.
"When's the last time you've seen a normal person around here?" Katie asked.
"Point taken" Angel replied. "I thought you were gone"
"I was" Katie replied. "They found me, and took me back in"
"How?" Angel asked. "How are you here now?"
"Well, they left me alone in a room with nothing but my anger and my brain" Katie replied. "A very dangerous combination, let's just say I learned a few things and now Wolfram and Hart are going to be doing a little remodeling, Let's just say things got explosive"
"What about your family?" Angel asked.
"I've found a way to shield them from Wolfram and Hart" Katie replied. "It took a lot of magic I didn't know I had"
"So you are a witch" Angel said and Katie just smiled over at him.
"I like to think I'm much more than that" Katie replied before standing to her feet. "I came to say thank you, for everything"
"Don't mention it" Angel replied. "So, where are you going?" Katie turned to him and smiled.
"To save the world Angel face" Katie replied before walking out of Angel's office.
Katie walked into the lobby just as Elizabeth was walking in. They walked over to each other and stood there without saying a word for a moment.
"I guess you were right" Katie replied. "I did die"
"Yeah" Elizabeth said. "Sorry about that"
"Don't be, it had to happen" Katie replied. "It was all part of the grand plan"
"What else is part of the grand plan?" Elizabeth asked.
"Nothing, I can say at the moment" Katie replied. "But don't worry, you're part of the chosen few who will know the truth when it's revealed"
"That's good to know, I guess" Elizabeth replied.
"Thank you" Katie said. "For coming, for helping"
"I didn't do much" Elizabeth replied and Katie put a hand on her shoulder.
"You were here" Katie replied. "That's kind of a lot"
"Well, you're my baby" Elizabeth said. "So, whenever you need me, I'll be there. The same goes for your brother, which reminds me, he and that friend of his has found trouble with a Gramlock, and I should go help"
"You should see him" Katie said. "He has really missed you, he actually has some memories of you, and it would mean the world to him"
"I think you're right" Elizabeth replied. "It's time to stop hiding and finally get to know my family" Katie removed her hand from the woman's shoulder.
"We'll see" Katie said and Elizabeth just gave a small smile with a nod. "I guess I'll see you later"
"Yes, you will sweet heart" Elizabeth replied. She wanted so much to hug her daughter, to kiss her to finally be her mother, but they still needed time. She just turned and headed for the door.
"Oh, and Elizabeth" Katie said and Elizabeth turned. "What we hide in the dark will make its way to the light, I know the truth, I know who my father is, and I also know why you kept it hidden, but it won't stay that way for long" Katie said. "He will find out, and he won't just stay put, it's not in his nature, so you should be prepared" Elizabeth both shocked and a little relieved turned and continued out of the hotel.
Later that evening Katie, Dean and Sam were packed up and in the lobby saying their final goodbyes to their new friends. Dean made his way to Angel and held out his hand.
"What do you say, truce?" Dean asked and Angel looked down at his hand before sighing and shaking his hand.
"Truce" Angel replied. "You're a good guy, I like you better than JT anyway"
"You know I think you and I are gonna be real good friends" Dean said grinning at the vampire. They all said their final goodbyes before turning and leaving the Hyperion.
"You know that Angel guy is alright" Dean replied as they walked toward the impala.
"Yeah, he's alright for a vampire" Katie said and Dean and Sam stopped in their tracks. They glanced over at each other before turning back to Katie who'd turned back to them.
"What?" She asked in confusion. "You did know he was a vampire right?" Both men nodded a no. "Oh, well funny thing" Katie said as they all began walking to the car. "There was a vampire and a curse…."
Holland Manners stormed into Lila's office to seeing a beat up Davina lying on the couch with an ice pack to her lip and Lila with a glass of brandy in her hand, also looking badly beat up.
"You care to explain this?" Holland asked angrily. "You told me everything was under control!"
"I'm sorry sir, we weren't prepared for what happened" Lila said. "She...she changed sir into something else"
"She was dead and then she just wasn't" Davina added.
"I don't care, you were told to expect the unexpected" Holland snapped. "I chose you because you are one of the best, but you have disappointed me, I should fire you, the both of you"
"But sir!" Davina said standing to her feet.
"Shut up!" Holland snapped. "I should fire you, but I'm not, you" He said pointing to Davina. "Are going back to England, you are demoted back to desk duty and you" he said looking at Lila. "Are completely on Angel duty and if you screw that up I promise you will be sorry" And with that Holland left the two women.
"I really hate the bitch" Lila says pouring herself another glass of brandy.
"Me too" Davina said plopping back down on the couch.
A/N: There you go...so what did you think? I'd love to hear more fabulous reviews...Oh and here's another clue, not about Katie's destiny but who her father is. We've actually seen him quite a few times in my story... Who do you think it is?
