YES IT'S FINALLY HERE! My schedule kind of cleared itself up because I took a mental health day and didn't go to school so I could catch up on my sleep since I was up late for show choir and then up early the next day for show choir. I actually finished this part last night, but I was way too exhausted to post it, so here it is!

"Cordelia!" Saoirse breathed out, getting up from the armchair she sat in and and approached the woman, wrapping her arms around the blonde.

Cordelia didn't shy away from Saoirse, she instead hugged the young girl back as she heard soft sobs escaping her.

"You've been so terribly mislead, sweetheart," the woman spoke in a soft tone as she stroked the brunette's hair.

Saoirse pulled away from Cordelia and exhaled heavily, "Delia, I don't know what or who to believe anymore."

Cordelia looked at the girl, desperation and confusion were in her eyes as the young girl stared back up at the blonde.

"Saoirse, Michael is dangerous, you have to understand that first and foremost. Whatever he needs you for, he'll use you for it and he'll dispose of you without even batting an eye."

The brunette frowned, "Cordelia, I don't think you understand, he needs me and my power to rebuild the world, The Sanctuary, he needs that power because of what I am...what I am..." she repeated herself in a mutter before she paused, narrowing her eyes back at the blonde, "What you lied to me about for almost four years."

Cordelia was at a bit of a loss for words, and not in a good way. Saoirse had made sure to hold one of Cordelia's biggest regrets over her head even after all these years. "I do understand, Saoirse. I kept what you were away from you for a reason-"

"Which was what?" Saoirse snapped.

"Because, you were still so young and still learning about your powers, how to control them and harness them correctly," the woman spoke, "I didn't want to burden you with that power, if you knew what you were you would've worked yourself up over the time it took for you to develop and grow into your abilities."

"My anxiety, really? I feel like that's always been the excuse for everything," Saoirse tilted her head, "Or was it because you were scared about a new Supreme rising?"

"No," Delia was quick to retort, "That is not at all the reason. You've always been so impatient. It's your best quality while also being your worst at the same time. I wanted to tell you, but under careful consideration with Myrtle, we both came to the conclusion that it was best to keep it from you for the time being."

Saoirse stared back at Cordelia with a prominent frown before she spoke again, "Even if that was a valid excuse, I don't want to continue living in a shit-hole wasteland the apocalypse created. This...new and remade world, I want to be a part of that. I want to be the one who helps in creating a new place for people to prosper."

"Michael was the one who caused the Armageddon. That wasn't just some freak missile crisis that happened out of the blue. Or did he lie to you about that?" Cordelia crossed her arms over the chest.

The brunette shook her head, "I never thought to ask about it, that never crossed anyone's mind because it was exactly that, a missile crisis."

"Because that's what he wanted to make it look like," Cordelia shot back quickly, "don't you think this all turned out just a little too perfect for a person like Michael? The Antichrist, Saoirse."

The two stared at each other in a deafening silence for what seemed like eternity. Cordelia took a deep breath before stepping towards Saoirse slowly.
