Okay, I must be honest, yes. I do not like this at all. I want to, but just the Angel issue. I cannot like that. Azazel and Riptide's selfish and cold behavior, no. It's wrong. Very wrong. They stole someone baby and everyone just let them. I know she is Azazel's daughter too, but Angel is her mother and that was wrong.

And I cannot believe in a mother who will not fight. No.

I am very sad. Very. This chapter made me sad, because I don;t like my boys very mch in this at all. That could also be the alcohol talking. I dont think I'm being very coherent.

I don't think I meant that the way it sounded. The writing is not bad, that is not it, no. It's them, they are bad. I do not like them in thos story. The story is not bad though.

I get where you're coming from. And actually, I'm surprised that neither here nor on fanfiction.net did I get more responses like this. Bottom line - in all my fic, I try to show that Azazel and Riptide are not saints. They do a lot of bad things. ('Cause you know, in the movie they were working with Shaw to nuke the whole world....not a very cool thing to do at all). So I like to bring out that they don't always make the most moral choices.

And the more I thought about their characters, the more I thought that this would be exactly how they'd behave if Angel wanted her/their daughter back.

Regardless, thanks for reading and reviewing!

I'm sorry, I was drinking rather excessively the night before with my friends, and after everyone left, my stupid self chose to get on the Internet. I'm so, so sorry for the incoherence, but the SO wasn't home to stop my bad decision-making process. Yes, I've decided to blame him. What else are they good for?

What I meant when I wrote all that is just...hard to explain. We've had an open adoption in the family, and just the thought of the family taking him away made me have a knee-jerk reaction to this. Angel not fighting them for her also hurt something terrible.

You're right though, and they are likely bad people, on some level.
