Twenty Years Hence

[abetterlie]

Where do you see yourself in twenty years?


Seriously? Up until about two years ago, I figured I'd be dead.

*locked from everyone except Harry and Cordelia*

Except for the part where I have this suspicion Angel wouldn't let me stay dead; he'd find some other way of bringing me back, and more people would die or go crazy or both, and maybe I'd end up like one of the Wolfram and Hart zombies because sooner or later, all those resurrection magic is bound to backfire. I just don't trust it. And I still think that could be a likely option for my future, and you know why? Because. If Angel got dusted. I'd find some way to bring him back, too. Any way. Don't tell him that.

*unlocked*

Now I have some less dramatic ideas. Going back to college at some point, really becoming an archaelogist because I enjoyed that, though I like the private eye job, too. But what I really, really hope I'll be doing in twenty years: being on my way to Mars. Because at that point, we should have at least limited space travel to the neighbourhood planet, and I just think being in space would be awesome. Plus I have the necessary physical condition and experience with other dimensions - no way Mars would be tougher than Qortoth. Watching the Earth from space, stepping on another planet. That's my wish for something to happen in twenty years.

If Angel ever gets himself dusted, you won't be the only one trying to bring him back. I'll be right there with you.

And don't worry, I won't tell if you don't.

I know you will.

Um, Cordy, about something else. Harry told me you found some photos and stuff. Have you talked with your Mom yet?

Yeah, I talked to her last week. She admitted to having a relationship with Harry's Dad, but I think there's more she's still hiding. I'm going to have to ask again when we get back from Hawaii.

Don't tell him I said this, but I'm glad Harry got his memory back.

Harry said your mother looks like you, so I'm not surprised his dad tried stuff, but just between you and me, I don't get why someone would want to have a relationship with Norman Osborne. Granted, I only met him as a ghost, but he's a total creep, and not because of the supernatural factor. Maybe he blackmailed her and that's what she's hiding?

Okay, won't say anything. It's good to have him back. I sort of was worried that maybe once he remembered again he'd wish he didn't, but that's not how it worked out.

You met him? And he was that bad? *frowns* Between you and Harry, he sounds just horrible. I can't imagine what my mother was thinking.

Why would he wish he didn't remember? I would think he'd be happy to finally remember you and Evan and all that.

*carefully* Hello, Connor.

I think archaeology is a wonderful idea, probably unsurprisingly.

I studied it for two terms, but then things got crazy - well, more than usual - too many absences, plus I wanted to earn my own income, so I had to stop. But I want to go back. I really liked it.

And, err. Hello, Wesley. Are you - from another timeline, or did Illyria bring you back?

[prodigalwatcher.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. The world of independence making its demands. Always a fine line to tread, and I wish you luck in doing so. And, I, ah offer any assistance you might require.

If any of the above, I'm not aware. I awoke not long ago from a coma in which I'd been since my fight with Cyvus Vail, as far as I know. I have my suspicions regarding my situation, but Illyria does not figure into them. Currently.
