Watching Angel's little boy walking around like a lost caveman put a jig in my step. He was the key to getting Angel to fall. It's always easy to get what you want from parents. Just twist the knife in the right way and they will do your biding without even a blink

Them walking together, in itself filled me with a rage that I wasn't going to show Lilah and at the same time.
Then again, I was happy for my father at the same time. He deserved some happiness and wasn't getting very much of it, or hadn't been. There had been that girl that he told me about that was a werewolf, but I remembered how he cared about Cordy.
That Spike guy who had been fighting the blue woman who had given me an erection, was here, walking with Faith.
The blue-haired woman was here, by herself. Wesley and Fred were here, together, sharing a moment.
The big battle had been there and watching dad get dusted going down fighting made me proud of him and made me wish that I hadn't died in that building, so like everyone else, I could have gone down fighting.
If any of this was real, even though she had just told me that nothing had been doctored. I found that hard to believe.
Shocked, I looked at her. "Two things, first, I will take that drink now, and second, you don't care about Gunn and that's why I didn't see the progress report of him here....wherever here is??"

Moving back to the bar I poured him a drink and fixed myself a strong one. Always needed more after seeing Wesley and her together.
Swallow the pain Lilah. He never loved you. You were just a.......something to him.
"As I said they are all here. Now the question is what are you going to do about it?"

I started walking to the door and realized that I had not grabbed my drink.
I turned back to her and realized that I needed it. I was happy and melancholy. Sure, it would be so cool if I could see dad and Fred and Cordy again, but it also sucked that they weren't in the world. The demons were going to take over.
I looked at the glass, shimmering, and then regarded her.
"Not what you want to hear from me, Lilah?"
"And, what's in this?" I picked up the glass and waited for her answer before taking a sip.

I figured he thought I was feeling him with poison. Wasn't my style. If I wanted someone dead, they died quickly. No sense in dragging it out.
Getting up I went to my closet and grabbed a blanket. Hell may be presented as hot in the brochures but at night it got damn cold at times.
"I'd offer you a place to stay but I know you'd decline."

I sniffed the glass. My not real father had a liquor cabinet and from time to time when they weren't home, I did pour myself a drink, just to get that high feeling, but I never really enjoyed the taste.
Still, it seemed familiar to me. "My guess is that this is tanqueray, with a splash of dioxin."
I shrugged and drank. I had already died and while I didn't want to act stupid around her, but even more important, was showing my strength, showing the Quartoth Connor to her.
"You do know, that if Angel is here, that 'm going to be on his side and against you, don't you, Lilah?"
I smiled and took another sip. I was going to get tipsy at this rate and in a hurry.

"Connor, you're out of line here."
I shrugged and laid down on the sofa. He wanted to find faults where there were none. At least this once.
"You're free to drink as much as you want. I am tired though so do try to be quiet."

"Don't worry, Lilah, one drink and I will leave you to sleep..."
Although, with how bitter this was, I figured that it might take me a little while to finish it, was at least good in that I could hit hr up for information.
"I may be out of line, but I'm dead, I can't say that caring much about your feelings at this point is on my list of things to worry about, and I'm out of line? You are the one that is in a line that's not straight here. What do you want with me?"

Rolling over on the sofa I smiled at his attempts to get the hot liquid down his throat. It took time to get used to the harder stuff.
"So you liking living on the street? Alobne? Fighting for no good reason?"
Propping up on my elbow I studied him smiling.
"Just want to see your plans Connor. You're going to be a young man forever. But one gets jaded quickly with the lives we lead. What do you want for your eternity? Continuing to live on the street? I think we both know you're worth more than being a bum."

Sure, I would rather be with my dad, or We, or Fred or Cordy then here with Lilah, but if what I was seeing, if what I had seen abou them dying and being here was true, then I had forever to find them, to figure out the way things worked.
Suddenly, the drink got very good and was gone and thought it burned, I knew that I wanted another and then another, until I was drunk.
"If you don't mind, Lilah, I'm going to help myself to another drink."
Reply
"Help yourself. My casa is well my casa, but feel free."
Drink in hand I walked over to the window and watched the various demons walk around. Cold and angry. Like good little demons should be.
"So what is the reason you've decided to go with the drinking? You're not used to it."

She may have known more about this place then me, but that didn't mean that I was just going to bend over and let her be my master.
Besides, the drinks were turning me into Quartoth Connor and I wasn't going to let her get me too testy.
"I just figured, I have an eternity to find my father and it's not every niht that an attractive woman offers me a drink."
I took another long sip, the more drunk that I got, the easier it was to ingest.

"Excuse me? I didn't mean take a drink and think it was an offer for something else."

"I guess it is abou time for me to go out and look for my father. If the search is real, if all of this wasn't a big lie, Lilah."
I was not a drinker and my head was spinning.
"Don't come back for me, Lilah. If you aren't interested, then neither am I."

And you care about what Wesley thinks? He let you walk alone down that sewer. Blooding and heartbroken. And then he chopped off your head.It's not like you and he had a real relationship. It was just sex. Only sex............right Lilah keep telling yourself that and some century you may even belive it.
"Connor you should stay here tonight. Not like your father is going anywhere."

She was hot. I didn't trust her as far as I could throw her and although she showed me those tapes, I didn't believe that they were real, but she was really hot, although she was treating me like a boy.
She didn't know that she was passing ona superhero's strength, which in my limited experience with the women part of, I found to be good. Maybe Cordy didn't, but I did.
Yeah, I was smashed, but that didn't mean that I couldn't see the big picture. Walking a straight line, I couldn't do, but seperating truth from lies, I could do, and even if I was wrong, I didn't believe that I was.
"I think that I'll be alright," I said, as I walked to the door and glass in hand, I fell to the floor, seeing black.

Question now is do I drag his drunk frame to the sofa and be a nice girl.
Yeah, right.
At least I don't have to worry about him trying anything now.
Turning off the lights I crossed to the sofa wiggling out of my fancy little suit. Slips are my sleepwear now.
Night night Hell.
