Note: Jenn will not be co-authoring this story anymore.
Also, if there are any grammar or general mistakes I’m sorry and if Miracle is turning into a Mary Sue, be patient with the story since she’s not. I’m still planning her out with the rest of the story.

-Previously-
Whistler stepped out of the shadows and smiled, “I wondered when I’d be seeing you.”
The girl chuckled and went to walk over to the fireplace when a hand stopped her after just a few steps. The girl looked up to see Faith holding her.
“Who are you?” Faith asked.
“I’m Miracle.”
A few SIT’s snorted and even Cordelia laughed as Miracle glared at them. “So? What do you exactly do?” Cordelia asked and Miracle smirked, “I’m the only one who can help Buffy win the End of Days, so a little respect if you don’t mind.”
Cordelia took a step back and Buffy looked over at Miracle who stood next to Angelus. “And how can you help me?”
Angelus chuckled and Miracle smiled more, “I will tell you tomorrow morning but I suggest that the Kick-the-Chosen-One-Out club over there must choose whether to stay or leave.”
Everyone turned to Faith who sighed, “We’ll stay.” Miracle nodded and turned to Angelus before looking at the group. “You better get some sleep; you’re in for a long tale.”
-Chapter 5: Knowing everything-
Buffy knew the moment Miracle asked her so called friends if they were staying that they would. Of course they weren’t staying to because of their loyalty to her. They were just curious about the new players that just arrived.
Buffy debated on letting them sleep in the living room or giving them rooms. She figured that she better give those rooms or she would never hear the end of it. Not that she really cared. “You should be able to find rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors. All of the rooms on the 3rd floor are already taken.”
After finding rooms for Faith, Willow, the rest of the Scoobies and the Potentials, Connor said goodnight to his mother and Wesley, as well as Spike, Whistler, Lorne and Andrew. He walked right past Cordelia and Angel without giving them any kind of acknowledgement but he nodded towards Angelus.
Angelus in return tilted his head and Miracle smiled a little. Angelus found his own room, which just happened to be Buffy’s, while the others left to go to bed, leaving Miracle alone downstairs.
Miracle wasn’t ready for sleep yet. She had someone to see.
Connor had found a room just down the hall from his mother. He didn’t trust the others, especially Angel and Cordelia. He settled into the bed and stared at the ceiling. His mind began racing with all kinds of questions. What was going on? Why had Angelus and Miracle shown up? Connor sighed, letting his thoughts drift from Miracle, to Cordelia then to Dawn. Dawn had been the only person who had attracted his attention. She was a beauty. Looked nothing like her sister, but oh well, he didn’t care after what they had done.
Connor pulled the covers over his head and groan. ‘Great,’ he thought to himself. ‘I’m having incest thoughts now. She’s my Aunt…sort of.’ Connor groaned again and reached over to turn the light off, settling down for sleep.
He wanted to be ready for whatever was to come in the morning.
Sensing that everyone was asleep (with the exception of two other couples), Miracle got up from her seat and began to make her way to Connor’s room on the third floor of the giant mansion. No one would hear her movements. Her boots made no sound as she made her way up the stairs.
Coming to a stop outside Connor’s room, she waited a moment before opening the door. After entering, she saw the 17-year-old asleep. An arm thrown across the bed and with his mouth open. Miracle kept a snort to herself and closed the door behind her, making her way into the dark room. She sat down on a chair on the other side of the room and took her boots off.
The moment she sat her boots down, Connor sat up with a start and turned on the light, ready to yell at whoever entered his room. “Nice to see you too,” said Miracle softly as she crossed her arms. Connor raised an eyebrow and swung his legs round to the side of the bed. “Who are you? Really?”
“Really?” Miracle repeated. “Like I said downstairs, I’m someone who can help your mother defeat the First and put an end to all evil in Sunnydale.” Connor raised his eyebrows, clearly not satisfied with her answer.
Miracle smiled and crossed her arms; “I don’t want to tell this story over and over again. I will tell everyone tomorrow after they have woken up but I will tell you this Conner, you need to understand, the PTB messed up and you being here…well… you weren’t meant to be here…at all...”
Miracle smiled and crossed her arms. “Alright, tomorrow morning when everyone has woken up and is ready to be told, you will know who I am Connor, you have to understand, the PTB messed up and you being here…well… you weren’t meant to be here…at all...”
Connor frowned slightly and motioned her to go on. “The PTB noticed that Angel, their champion was not where he should be (with his soul mate). Angelus and Angel have been separated by the PTB but Angelus has come from another dimension to be corporal. Angelus is a King…well ruler in this dimension…this is where I come from.”
Connor to say the least was stunned. He tried to speak and the only words that finally came out were “What about Holtz?”
Miracle smiled a little and shrugged, “That I will explain tomorrow morning.” Connor nodded knowing he wouldn’t get anymore information from her tonight. He settled back down in the bed, shifting over making room for her to join him. “You might as well stay now, since you’re here.” Miracle chuckled at what Connor said and nodded, sliding in beside Connor, not bothering to take her clothes off.
Connor turned the light off. Feeling the sudden urge to be close to her, he wrapped an arm around Miracle. Miracle smiled and closed her eyes, both falling asleep at the same time
-Next Morning-
Miracle and Angelus had woken up before the others. They had planned on meeting to discuss what they planned on telling the others. It was still early in the morning when everyone else rolled out of bed. They noticed Miracle and Angelus in the main hall when they got downstairs.
Everyone had breakfast before settling in the hall, waiting silently for one of them to explain. Amazingly, Cordelia had kept her mouth shut, because she herself wanted to know why Angelus came back and was looking so…so regal.
Connor sat on the floor in front of the fireplace, near where Miracle and his father were sitting. Miracle sat with her fingers laced together, resting on her lap as she stared at the floor, her blonde waves resting on her shoulders.
She was, in one word, an Angel.
Once everyone had settled down, Giles looked at Wesley and asked, “Aren’t there two more of you on your team?” Wesley raised an eyebrow before nodding; “Fred and Gunn are still in Los Angeles, keeping an eye on the place.” Giles, who was satisfied with the answer, sat down and everyone turned to Angelus.
“Now that you’re all done with your chit chat, can we get started?” Without wait for answer, Angelus stood up and began to pace in front of the fireplace as Connor moved closer to Miracle, to give his fath- Angelus more room. “Miracle and I come from a place very different from this one. In other words, I’m not sharing a body with Soul Boy over there.”
A few potentials chuckled and Angel could only glare at his counterpart. Miracle smiled a little and laughed to herself, causing Connor to grin. Buffy looked at her son and raised an eyebrow, seeing the blonde had already captured her son. Buffy nudged Spike who looked over at Connor and Spike grinned. He leaned down and whispered into Buffy’s ear, “Must be something to do with Peaches side. He goes with blondes. Look at his ‘girlfriends’ hair.” Buffy snorted before paying attention to Angelus whom gave her a look.
“Miracle has probably already explained to Connor where she comes from, but I doubt in full detail. The Powers That Be noticed that Soul boy was not where he should be. He is supposed to be with Buffy but being the noble fool that he is screwed everything up again. The PTB decided to separate the demon and the soul but they needed both to be corporeal for the up coming battle. So in order to do that, I had to come from another dimension. I am a ruler of the dimension, the same one that Miracle is from.”
The Main Hall of the mansion was deadly quiet, even Cordelia seemed to be paying attention for a change, as she listened to Angelus. “Now before I explain or Miracle does, about who she actually is, I need to explain some things about Connor. He should never to Quor’thoth. He was supposed to have been sent to our dimension.” This statement bought gasps from Buffy and the L.A crew. “As usual, Wolfram & Hart with the help of Holtz as well as Sahjahn messed up, that’s why Connor ended up in that stupid Hell dimension.”
“But why should he have gone to this dimension…where…this girl is from?” Cordelia asked, her voiced laced with disgust. “Because, Princess, Miracle is his soul mate.” Doyle answered as he walked through the door. A couple of gasps followed his entrance and Connor looked at Miracle, raising an eyebrow as he asked silently ‘Is this true?’
Miracle smiled and nodded. Connor grinned and reached up, taking her hand and lacing his fingers with hers. Angelus rolled his eyes but he couldn’t help but grin at the sight.
“As I was saying,” Angelus coughed out as Doyle bowed playfully at him and sat down next to Miracle. Doyle leaned over and shook Connor’s hand before leaning back causing Miracle and Connor to raise an eyebrow at him. “Where was I? Oh yeah. Connor should have gone to the dimension we’re from because like Doyle said, Miracle is Connor’s soul mate.”
Miracle stood up, ignoring Connor’s little whimper and went over to stand next to Angelus. “In our dimension we still have vampires, demons, werewolves and the whole creatures of the night…luckily for us…they don’t attack anyone unless we tell them too…or Angelus does. We still have humans running around but they limited,” Miracle explained.
“But what about you? What are you?” asked Dawn, her eyes piercing into Miracle’s. Miracle gave her a soft smile before answering; “I’m a goddess.” Connor eyes widened, as did everyone else’s causing Miracle, Angelus, Whistler and Doyle to smirk.
“What sort of goddess?” asked Wesley as Giles got a notebook out that he kept in his pocket and a pen, ready to write down everything that Miracle or Angelus was about to say. “I have slayer strength like Buffy and Faith but it’s limited but I can control the elements. I also helped create the Scythe,“ she stated and before anyone could ask “Yes, I’m that old.”
“But how come you look like your 16?” Cordelia asked, pouting. Miracle rolled her eyes; “I was sacrificed when I was 17 for the Gods…my people didn’t understand that the Gods had chosen me to protect our dimension.”
“And what is Angelus to you?” came Angel’s voice and Miracle raised an eyebrow. “Well I’m not humping him every night if that’s what you mean.” Buffy bursts into giggles as did everyone else and Angelus looked disgusted at they very idea. If Angel could blush, he would. “I didn’t mean that…” he tried to explain but Angelus cut him to the chase, “Sure you didn’t. As Miracle said, she’s a protector and she’s like a sister to me, nothing more.”
“He’s got a Harlem to satisfy him,” Miracle mumbled but did it loud enough for everyone to hear. Doyle snorted and everyone turned to look at him as Buffy glared. “What? Oh right your wondering why I’m here. I’m from the same dimension but I went there when I died,” Doyle said.
“And what do you do there?” asked Giles, still writing everything down. Doyle raised an eyebrow at the strange fellow and crossed his arms; “I’m still a Seer, also a protector but still not a warrior. “ As he pointed his last comment towards Angel.
“Can we see you do some…magic?” asked a shy Potential as she looked at Miracle. Miracle nodded and looked out the window, “Well it’s not night yet but I’m sure our fanged friends as well as Angelus can come outside if you give them umbrellas.”
After about an hour or so of more questions from the potential, they finally made their way outside. The vampires were under umbrellas. Angelus sharing with Spike, which made Angel happy. Cordelia stood between them and smiled up at Angelus, which made him snort. Everyone else sat down and looked at Miracle who was standing near a little pond. Connor sat next to his mother and he whispered into her ear, “Which elements are we talking about? The natural elements?”
Buffy shrugged and whispered back, “I guess it’s the natural ones since she’s standing next a pond. We’ll have to see.” Connor sighed and turned his attention to Miracle, who smiled and winked at him. Everyone was quite as they watched the water rise up out of pond and flow slow across the garden and start to freeze. Miracle’s eyes closed as she concentrated and the ice started to create a wall. Miracle’s eyes opened and she snapped her fingers and the water disappeared. Connor ran over and looked at the pond, “It’s full.”
Miracle shrugged and smiled, “That’s what I can do.” “Blimey,” mumbled Spike as Angelus smirked like a proud brother.
Note 2: Sorry for the lateness, but my Beta took awhile due to family problems. Also, I didn’t have the help of my ‘co-author’ who isn’t doing this anymore.
