Crossing WorldLines pt1 (Angel): Chapter 7- switching pieces
by JuggaloJohn
Next day we pretty much let thing run as is for now. After a while Gun came back and Wesley what in his office. Not going as crazy as he should of. Illyria and Spike kept the sparring up. Angel still thinks we need to worry about her. Just everything pretty much went as the episodes Time bomb started. So Angel wanted everyone in a meeting. Me Hellboy and Lobo, on being asked by Wesley, Decided to join the team at it.
“Ok so the short is you don’t like Babe the blue Ox in you house and you want to get rid of her. “Spike said
“Hold up” I broke in “Look I already know where and how this is going to go. Illyria is a very powerful alley you want to have. I mean, If that ass Hamilton and the Senior partners Don’t what her anywhere near here, then that’s exactly Why you should want to keep her around.”
“But she had no problem killing Fred” Angel said
“She infected Fred with no more malice then a common virus” Wesley said
“And look Angel I know you are the head of all this but I need Illyria at full power. I think her dimension jump ability will. So I have already fixed the one thing I was worried about in her. He really has not weaknesses now”
“What do you mean?” Angel said
“You can’t kill her, not any more, and trust me you are going to need her. That apocalypse thing.”
“Yeah I still can’t get my head around that one” Gun said, “Lindsey said we are in the middle of it.”
“Oh yes the thousand year war of good versus evil is well underway”
“Evil just hasn’t told anybody yet, so that probably way we are winning” angel said
“Oh and by the way we’re apparently on the wrong side, or the right side if you like winning” spike added
“Ok ok ok, look guys I know you feel the way you do. But look we are here now to lend a hand.”
“That’s great but still, tell us how you fight and invisible war. All the evil we stopped and we’re still the Partners number one earner,” Angel said.
“Not anymore”
“Oh good, Ham is here” I said as Hamilton stared at me.
“Let me ask you Angel, have you ever heard the term surgical strike”
“Ever heard of the term appointment”
“Illyria destroyed eleven torcher units before she found your man, two troop carriers, ice cream truck, and eight beautifully maintained lawns. Not to mention dozens of employers rendered useless to the company. ”
“Bill me”
“Oh we will the damages are coming directly out of this divisions profits. And also with that suddenly large amount of gold, four thousand dollars worth if I’m not mistaken. Congratulations, in two swift strokes you went from head of the pack to staggering at the rear.”
“And”
“Angel you’re a motivated go-getter at the top of the corporate ladder Why don’t you figure out what comes after ‘and’.”
“We’re working on that”
“Yes I’m sure you are”
“Jackass” I said under my breath.
“I’m sorry, who are you gentlemen?” Hamilton said growing a stronger tone in his voice.
“Angel’s Bridge Club” Lobo chimed in.
“Very Cute,”
“Lets just say we are here to help are good friends. And that’s all you really need to know, Skippy” I said in a semi-smartass-tone.
Well anyway the partner have a small task they’d like you to over see. I’m sending gun the file. It’s good to see you again by the way. It’s a simple matter with some very big players.”
“Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, does this guy ever stop talking.” Lobo said as he spun around in he chair to look at Angel.
“If this is our chance to get in good grace with the head office, have to say it not my priority.”
“Oh no don’t think about us Angel think about profits it’s profits that keep this plucky little boat load of good above water” Hamilton says and I repeat over top of him just to piss him off.
“Ok Hamton, We know, ‘It’s a Business boy’s not a Batcave’, just don’t let the door hit you” I said waving him out with my right hand, wondering if he could see the ring.
As the door shut behind him Lobo just said, “That guy looks like a First class whimp to me.”
“Well I’ll tell you what, still like him better then Eve.” Loran added.
Well from that point on the storyline was completely changing, the main point of this episode was already stopped, but the side plot of angel finding out he needs to do what he wants to stop the firm. So that afternoon just after talking to Wesley about Hamilton coming to see him in the Lab.
I used the Ring to simulate the output Illyria was meant to in the First place. I did everything I could to make sure that the Senior Partners and that ass Hamilton thought that Illyria was still going to Supernova. So when Wesley told me Hamilton came to the lab to try to warn him about Illyria, I told him to get that ray he would of used to fix the problem, if she really had one, and fix it so its just a big ass light show.
Like I was saying after that I went to talk to Angel. I told him to come with me up to the top floor just before walking outside in the stair well. When he followed me up the stairs I used my ring and formed a bubble around the bother of us and forced the door open. Well flow outside and into the sunlight.
“What the hell are you doing?” Angel screamed.
“Don’t worry, the Ring can block out all the sun’s rays we’re fine, but I needed to make sure no one will hear us talking”
So with that I force the bubble up passed the earths upper atmosphere, and into space. As I propelled the Bubble around the earth and out passed the moon, I figured we where far enough away from anyone being able to hear us I stopped.
“Well, what’s Going on?” Angel asked, “and how the hell…”
“I’m for the short time being I’m a Green Lantern, but I need to talk to you. You see I need to make sure you know what you should be doing”
“Yeah, and what’s that?”
“Heading after all the People at the top, those Black thorns.” I said
“How do you know that?!” Angel yelled
“I just know, I know you have to pretty much make it look like you Wolfram & harts employee of the month.”
“And.”
“So Do it, don’t worry you got a safety Net this time. I’m be covering your ass on this buddy.”
“But everyone else needs to think I’m turning on them for the partners to believe it”
“Don’t worry, oh and Make it look like I’m you enemy and you hate me being even near your Group”
“That shouldn’t be to hard.” Angel said, “not really fond of you now”
I simply laughed, and hurled the bubble we where in downward back into the earths atmosphere. I pretty much just let gravity take over, and we hit terminal velocity with a few seconds we where falling straight into the Pacific Ocean about 5 miles out from the shore. Angel had a look on his face, not really of fear but just dislike of falling. Just before the water I turned it upward skimming the surface and causing a wave that whipped behind us, then headed right back to the Wolfram & Hart Building.
“Ok Angel you know what to do.”
“Yeah, I know exactly what to do”
So angel went into the whole Being “evil” thing. Doing everything to make the senior partners think he is turning to their side. Starting first with signing off on giving the baby to that demon trio in his office. I had about two weeks to kill now, the next thing that will come along is Angel and Spike fighting over Buffy in Italy, which means the Hellboy, Lobo, and myself are free to Train some more I gave Wesley the heads up. On Fred’s parents coming and told him that Illyria will be happy to pretend to be her for there benefited. I told him that if everything works as I planned this should be a one time thing. But over all I let this play out but itself, I spent the time with my comic Book compatriots, Planning for what ever was going to happen at the end of this all. I remembered the Semi army of demons, and the dragon, but who knows if that’s all that will have to face. I mean I know of beings far more powerful the anything I could take even with the ring, but I don’t think the senior partners would ever want to have their help. Evil never enjoys sharing Power. Darkseid, Sinestro, or any other villain that is of any real power would see this world and an easy place to take over. The Senior Partners would want nothing to do with that. Evil always wants control, that’s its biggest weakness.
So on our training went. Hellboy and me would take turns took turns trying to knock down Lobo. Lobo simply laughs and knocked Hellboy and me both out. Lobo was really enjoying himself. We had to remind him it was just train once or twice. I was getting really good to, I started to do things I remember off of TV. I did this flying Pile driver where I would grab the guy around the waist, this being Lobo in the train, and start flying up into the air then flipping in the air and speed to the ground slamming him head first into it.
So the week went by, Spike and Angel did the whole chase around Rome. And then pretty much did everything around the office for the next week. Well this was it the Final of this little story. I needed to keep everything going right, make sure Wesley don’t die, and slam the shit out of everyone that gets in the way after this.
I all started went along as originally planned, Angel was helping out that evil senator, playing racked ball with the one demon, and getting all the feed back that he wanted.
The team kept asking me what I know, I told them to let me know when something important to them happens.
And that came very quickly once Spike called me Wesley about Drogyn. Wesley called me at the hotel, and I flew us to spikes apartment. As we got there I didn’t reserve a kind welcome.
“Ok, what the hell is going on” spike yelled, “you said no one would get hurt”
“No I said no one would get killed, Drogyn tell him what you know and I’ll tell them what I can.”
Drogyn fill them in with all that had happened with him thinking Angel had help release Illyria from the deeper well, about how that Angel sent the assassins to the well, and how he got the information. That Angel is believed to have murdered Fred.
“Now, tell us what you know.”
“I can’t do that” I said, “ But I will tell you that I won’t let any of you die. First Wesley go ask angel what this stuffs all about,”
“Why should we do that?”
“Wes!!!!! Trust Me,” I shouted. “Look I told you I couldn’t change Angel path, this is how it was going to play out”
“Has he flipped his lid, has he turned Evil on us” Spike asked.
“Will let’s go ask him!!” I said “but first I need to make sure Drogyn is ok. Illyria can you change Lobo to look like Drogyn.”
“Yes it is simple” Illyria said
“Why the hell would you want to do that?” spike asked
“Because when we head off to talk to angel, Hammy going to come and get Drogyn” I said “but in the show, he was able to beat up Illyria because her power was mostly gone.”
“But now she is at full power. And”
“And, that means she will have to pretend to let him beat her.”
“And, why have lobo look like Drogyn?”
“Because Ham drags Drogyn off to his death. So Lobo fakes being Drogyn and let Hamton drag him off, what would have killed Drogyn, will do nothing to Lobo.”
“Who kills Drogyn?”
“The bad guys” I said “now lets go, we don’t have the time to stand around, just trust me.”
“Ok”
Illyria changed Lobo to look like Drogyn, and they both agreed to just sit and let Hamilton come in and think he beat her up and take “Lobo” away. On the was out of Spikes place, I stopped them and said
“Ok you guys go to Wolfram & Hart and talk to Angel, but me and Hellboy will take Drogyn to the hotel, I want to make sure his ok, and out of sight.” I said
“Ok, I understand”
So off we went. The Group from this world line went to talk to Angel. They got the exacted same speech as angel planned the first time. Making them feel he didn’t care.
From what guess Illyria and Lobo had fulfilled their part of the bargain. I had to told Lobo what I had Planned ahead of time in the Training sections, told him how he was to pretend that he know who Hamilton was, I know that he would be bitten by Angel, and have to play dead. I told him once they had left I’m for dead, that he was to come back to the hotel, without being seen. Right now however I’m betting that Wesley, Gun Spike & Loren, should be shaking down Lindsey for details, Find out about the black thorn for the first time. Find out all the stuff that was made to look like Angel was turning on them. And made the feel that Angel had to be stop, just as the plan was meant to goes.
And Angel right now thinking he Turn on Drogyn and killed him to save the plan. Angel was right now biting into the neck of Lobo. And just as angel bit into the neck of the fake Drogyn, Lobo whispered into his ear.
“Wuss!!!”
At that Moment Angel Just began to laugh as He snapped his neck and the body in his arms fell to the floor. The members of the Black thorn only thought that he was laughing at the joke of using someone he know, but Angel know what I had done.
And as planed the Black thorn entered him in with open arms, and now the Final fight was being set into motion.
