give your immortality to me, I'll set you up against the stars

Jan 26, 2007 16:14

It had been several weeks since the prophecy child's, my niece, brother whom I suppose is also my nephew had his little vision and took Liliana away from the firm. He and Angel's son plaguing her mind with evil thoughts of Wolfram and Hart, the project, and well, myself. Of course the project they were perfectly honest in telling the girl she was ( Read more... )

Sophia was right. I wasn't meant to be cooped up inside all of the time. That might sit well with Tyler but it would never be okay with me. I wanted to go outside and play. Maybe I'd run into Sophia again at the beach, or maybe I could figure out where Connor had gone. I'd noticed that there were things I could do, things that normal girls can't. Maybe I could find him if I tried hard enough and ask him why he wasn't at the hotel anymore ( ... )

I smiled at the girl when she tried to explain how I wasn't her uncle. She was something. Beyond the fact that she is my niece I can now start to understand why my brother was wanting to have her become the woman she was destined to become.

Laughing lightly, I shook my head and pushed myself away from the limousine. "No, Alexia. I don't have any candy, but I can offer you something to drink inside if you'd like."

I shrugged a little. "I guess I should have introduced myself better. I'm actually your mother's uncle and your great uncle. Your grandfather James? He is my brother."

There was no telling the stories her parents and the vampire had spun up in her head about the three of us or the firm in general. But at the very least she didn't seem likely to run inside and go tattle to mommy and daddy that her evil uncle was offering her candy and a ride in a limousine.

"My brother and and sister were able to see you and your brother at Thanksgiving dinner. I thought it was time I introduce myself."

osborn_heiress January 28 2007, 04:00:20 UTC

I frowned when I realized that he knew my name. What the hell? Oh right, the big Thanksgiving Day blowup. That seemed like forever ago but I guess it had only been a couple of months. So he was one of the guys from Wolfram and Hart. Aidan Hart, it made sense, right? Didn't Mom tell me to stay away from there, like alot? She did, but she also told me to stay away from Sophia even though she saved my life. Go figure ( ... )

"Evil is only a matter of opinion," I told her calmly. "I would never intentionally harm a member of my family though." It was true. Mostly. As much as I disliked the idea of Tyler having the vision of Lily, I'd never lay a hand on him. He was still my nephew.

"Holidays don't normally peak my interest and I was deep in a project at the time. Although, now, I do regret not coming with James and Dominique to meet my niece and nephew."

I smiled. "Maybe I can make up for that now?" Turning back to the vehicle, I pulled open the door. "I could take you a ride around the city in style? Unless you think one of your parents would object."

And of course they would, but pointing that out might help keep her from asking.

osborn_heiress January 28 2007, 04:34:07 UTC

He regretted now coming to Thanksgiving, but why did I have the feeling that my parents hadn't regretted it. I don't even know, sometimes I overhear things, and then they tell me what they think I need to know, which is hardly ever very much. Like I'm still just a baby or something. I'm not a baby anymore ( ... )

I glanced briefly back at the hotel once Lexi had gotten into the limousine then slid back inside myself. Shouldn't her mother and father warned her about not getting into cars with strangers? Even if I was family.

Probably so, but I admired that she agreed to take a ride anyway.

As she asked her question about harming others, I leaned forward and fixed the both of us a couple of drinks. She wasn't of age, but first meetings were special occasions. Handing her a glass of champagne, I took my own glass of scotch.

"Yes, I do." There was no need to lie to the girl after all. "It's a part of my job. Just like it's a part of your mother's job as well as Angel's." The difference being Angel and Faith willing to harm and kill their own family members.

"We're just riding around the city now, but would you like to take a trip to the offices? I'd be glad to show you around. I'm sure your grandfather and aunt would like to see you as well if they're around."

osborn_heiress January 28 2007, 04:55:45 UTC

I was amazed by the straight forward way he answered my question, although the part about Angel and Mom made me confused. They don't hurt anybody. That's the point, right? "They slay vampires, that's different." I said, easily telling him the same story that's been told to me dozens of times. Mom and Angel were superheroes, they save people. Daddy said so ( ... )

mister_hart January 28 2007, 05:14:51 UTC

Yes, they slayer vampires and if only it were that simple. I'm sure there were many stories that her parents and Angel had left out when it came down to what they do after the sun goes down.

I nodded. "Yes, Wolfram and Hart and I am Angel's boss." Gladly so.

Laughing a little at her telling me I seemed boring, I shrugged and sat my glass down after taking another sip. "I'm not a lawyer, but I'm sure my job would be boring to a sixteen year old girl. It bores me sometimes too."

She brought up her mother again. "Vampires aren't human, but slaying is still an act of killing. Justified death is still death no matter how it's twisted around. My job is making sure the offices and dealing go on as they should. And also overseeing a few special projects."

Part of which was now living in the same hotel as she was.

"Enough about me. I came here to find more about you. Tell me about yourself."

osborn_heiress January 28 2007, 05:22:56 UTC

Hmmm. I guess he did have a point. They slay vampires cause they have to, so Uncle Aidan killed people to make sure Wolfram and Hart kept going. It's the same except different, and now I confused myself again. Oh well. I shrugged as I set the empty glass back down. Champagne was pretty good, but it didn't make me feel warm like the other stuff had ( ... )

mister_hart January 28 2007, 05:38:17 UTC

"Of course not," I answered honestly. Even when it came to her relationship with James, she was never just a simple project. "I take family ties very seriously. I'd never call you a project."

She began to tell about herself and I smiled. "I'm sure you're much more interesting than just that, Alexia. I can't do much about the island, but I can help with the shopping and ice cream. I'd be happy to take you out sometime or I'm sure your aunt Dominique would be thrilled to go as well. She's my favorite shopping partner."

Tell her parents? "No, I'm not going to tell either of your parents you're here with me. That's your decision, not mine. I think you're old enough now to decide on your own, don't you?"

The limousine came to a stop and I glanced out the window to see that the office was just outside. "Do you still want that tour? Or I can have the driver turn back around and head back to the hotel instead if you'd like to go back."

osborn_heiress January 28 2007, 05:51:56 UTC

I am way more interesting than that, but it's not like I'm just going to tell this guy everything. I won't even tell Tyler about some of the stuff I think about, or dream about. It's not like anyone's going to understand it, and I think it's just better that I keep it to myself anyways ( ... )

Once she agreed to come inside for a while, I led her into the lobby and I smiled as she looked around. "Sort of," I answered. "I do spend the majority of my time here, but not far from the office there is a group of buildings we own with several apartments and I live in one of those. Although sleeping here at the firm has happened more than once."

Nodding forward, I led her through the building and introduced her to several people as they approached us. I made sure to avoid Angel's office since who knows if he decided to show up for work or spend time back at his little hotel worrying over what to do next.

We walked up the stairs to continue and I pointed out the lab to her as we passed by, but decided to go ahead and move on. No doubt that Norman would have loved to meet his granddaughter, but I had no interest in introducing her to him.

Coming to the end of a hall, I led her inside an elevator and I pressed the button for the floor with the three of our offices. "Would you like to see if your grandfather or aunt are

osborn_heiress January 29 2007, 00:23:20 UTC

I wasn't wrong, this place is really boring. Maybe that's why Angel hangs out here so much. Aidan introduced me to a few people and I shook hands and said hello the way that I should but I was bored. The lab was even more boring. Aidan was a little impressive but I didn't really know what to make of him. Why is my family fucking insane?

"Sure." I shrugged when he offered to see if my other family members were lurking around. My mother was going to kill me. No, really. She probably would if she ever found out about this. Daddy wouldn't be happy about it either but I hadn't heard anything about Norman so I guess he'd probably take my side ( ... )

mister_hart January 29 2007, 02:03:20 UTC

The elevator opened to the floor with all of our offices. James would be happy to see his granddaughter I'm sure. Well. Probably either a little jealous that I was the one who managed to bring her here myself or impressed. Perhaps a little of both ( ... )

mr_lupus January 29 2007, 02:35:40 UTC

I looked up from a series of paperwork when a knock resounded on my door and soon followed by Aidan letting himself in with a petite girl in tow. Alexia. I narrowed my eyes at Aidan for only a moment before turning to look back at the girl. I'd yet to make contact myself save for when she was only a small child. I wasn't entirely sure whether to be aggravated or pleased with my brother ( ... )

ms_aries January 29 2007, 02:58:35 UTC

Yay! My niece was in the building. I couldn't wait to properly get to meet her. Oh she was a beautiful girl, and we had so much in common. I was curious as to how she managed to find her way to the law firm, but mostly I wanted to bring her a present.

Luckily I'd just returned from my afternoon shopping trip and had plenty of things that I could share with the beautiful teenager. Looking through my bags, I found the perfect Prada purse for the Osborn heiress. If there was one thing I approved of it was her father's influence on her sense of fashion ( ... )
