"You're here for how long? How long will 'they' let you stay here, alive. And they wouldnt just let anyone come back for no good reason. Theres a reason for them letting you back here. What happends when you do what your suppose to do? huh? Are you dead again?" Stands up. "I cant bare to lose you again..."
 
She stood up, her tone quiet and her own gaze as troubled but determined.  There were unshed tears in her eyes.  She was just as upset as he was about her dying but damnit she was HERE now.  And did he really think she would be able to handle losing him again....?
 
"Nick Boyle you're an ass." She told him in no uncertain terms and very much the Julia he remembered "You're going to push me away and I'm here.  If and that's an IF I'm taken back what are you going to remember? Pushing me away or  --" her voice dropped again "or being as happy as possible until that day comes?  I did not stand there and fight as hard as I did just to pop in for a casual hello and see you around and leave again."
 
She hesitated a moment and whispered "Or... maybe I shouldn't have come back....."
 
 
The succubus sat back and listened to Shamus thoughtfully.  So, the Powers had allowed a Legacy member to return.  What was so special about this one and what, she thought before snapping her fingers and calling forth her agent, were the woman's weaknesses?
 
"Do you know this one?" The succubus asked the other, waving her hand in the air and an image of Julia Walker, while Shamus was watching, appeared before them in a transparent fashion.
 
The second succubus' eyes glittered red and actually hissed before answering "Julia Walker."
 
"Tell me more."
