The woman or demon or supernatural whatever, who obviously had more from the 'whatever' column than anything, brought us back from Pylea. One minute I was standing there staring at Angel, not believing that he was actually there, and holding onto Wesley and the next, we were all back at Wolfram and Hart. Angel and the blond, Alyx I think her name was, went off on their own. I stood there quietly for a minute and then realized Wesley had no idea what was going on around us. I turned and stared at him for a few heartbeats. Those achingly beautiful blue eyes were clouded over, staring into nothingness.
It was going to take some getting used to, the fact that Wesley was blind. But I would be his eyes for as long as he needed me to be. He went blind trying to find me and bring me home. I owed him so much more than to just be his eyes and I would find every way possible to repay what he's done for me. I reached out and gently touched the side of his face, softly rubbing my thumb across his cheek, "We're home, well...not home home, but back at Wolfram and Hart, so we're at least in the correct dimension. The woman's voice you heard, besides mine and Illyria's was Alyx. She's in charge at Wolfram and Hart now. Remember? I told you I met her one night in my lab? Well that was her. She and Angel poof! showed up and then poof! here we are. And before you ask, Illyria is no where to be seen. I guess Alyx thought she could find her own way home. And I say good riddance, because the later I see her the better."
I looked at Wesley's face again, which had a smile on it and realized I'd just rambled...a lot. But he was used that by now, right? I took a breath and gently touched his arm, "Are you alright? Does...does it hurt at all?" My fingers lightly touched below his eyes and I frowned slightly. He went blind for me. "We need to get you to medical right now, so they can figure out a way to bring back your sight." I slid my arms around his chest and sighed when I felt his go around my body, "I can't believe you did that for me Wesley, you're...you're just amazing." I was glad we were home and I was glad to be back with Wesley. He might be blind, but it was a lot better than being stuck in Pylea with Illyria.
