Xander was feeling pretty freaked, despite his outward bravado. Since when did either he or Cordy have active powers? Then he remembered the power sucking athame. The one he'd found in his pants pocket after the visit to the reality with the Cordy look alike. The one he'd just used on the Prior. Did that mean he was also going to get the Prior's powers? He quickly stuck the athame into a dimensional pocket. The demon's powers must have transferred to him. But that didn't explain Cordy's new power. Hopefully their parents would have answers. For now, they just needed to get home and finish this. He slipped the staff into another pocket. How many did he have right now? The one with their suitcases, his weapons, the control device and now the athame and the staff. Five total.

"I'm going to go talk to those guys. Then we can get going."

"We need to talk, Xander. What just happened?"

"I know. I think I know what happened in my case, but I don't know about your case. We'll figure it out. This quest is nearly done. Then we deal with the next problem."

"Yeah, you're right, we'll figure it out. Well, let's go talk to them."

"Who are you?" Colonel Mitchell demanded to know. "How did you do that?"

"Magic. Anyway, that Prior guy said you were from Earth."

"Yes, we are. I'm Daniel Jackson. And you are?"

"Alexander Harris and my girlfriend, Cordelia. We're from Earth too. Just not the Earth you're from. We're from a few realities away. I just want to make sure you guys are okay before we go. The lady said that guy tried to burn you to death."

"He did, yes and killed her and revived her." Daniel jerked his thumb toward Vala. "You seemed to have revived in your own."

"All my kind can. As you might have guessed, we're not normal humans. Anyway, it's time for us to get going. We've crossed multiple realities and it's time to go home and finish what we started."

"Oh." Cordelia said suddenly. "Oh that's sweet."

"What is?" Daniel asked.

"You telling Vala that you didn't spend fifty years with her because she was convenient, but because you loved her. I love happy endings."

"I'm so proud of you." Xander said. "Your first vision. Kyra said it would be activating soon."

"It seems she was right. But she was a seer too, so she would know."

"Well, see you around the multiverse sometime." Xander said and taking Cordelia's hand in his, pressed the button on the control device and said. "Next stop, Los Angeles." An electric tingle and the world shifted.

"So that really just happened didn't it." Colonel Mitchell said flatly. "A couple of kids claiming Magic and saying they're not gods just kicked the butt of an Ori Prior and took his powers and his staff and just literally disappeared in front of us. Any other command and they'd be sending us for a psych eval."

"They may still. I have no idea how to explain this." Daniel said.

"Well, we can start by bringing the former Prior back to Earth." Vala said.

"So are we just going to ignore what the girl said about you two being together for fifty years?" Mitchell asked.

"Yes." Said Daniel.

"And the fact that she knew Vala's name but no one mentioned it?" Mitchell asked.

Silence, then. "Indeed."

Xander and Cordelia materialized in an alley.

"Okay, we need to find a place to sit down and talk, Xander. I'm not doing anything else until we've had a chance to do that." Cordelia insisted.

"I agree. We need to at least make an attempt to figure out what's happened to us. Alright let's head out to the street and see if we can figure out where in L.A. we are."

They walked to the street and realized they'd materialized in an alley by a hotel.

"I'm back to thinking we have some kind of subconscious control because we both keep saying how tired we are." Xander said. "And here we appear right beside a hotel. Let's get a room for the night. I'm really too tired to even try calling a cab and riding for an hour or more through Los Angeles traffic to get back to our place. I might fall asleep in the cab."

"That is such a gross thought and yet I am that tired too. Whatever energy I had seems to have been drained using these new powers. I agree, let's just get a room and get some sleep. We can talk in the morning."

The two of them headed into the hotel. The one named the Hyperion.
