Story Notes: This story starts sometime between the episodes “Ground State” (4:2) and “The House Always Wins” (4:3) of Angel. The Potter-verse has been moved up 12 years. The title refers to two conversations between Wesley and Justine in “Deep Down” (4:1):
"We're always a slave, Justine. We just couldn't see the chains."
“You can continue being a slave, Justine. Or you can live your life. Your choice."
Chapter Notes: Some dialogue has been modified from the episodes “Forgiving” (3:17), “Double or Nothing” (3:18), “Deep Down” (4:1) and “Ground State” (4:2). Thanks to my beta deiticlast and the livejournal communities of britpickery , hp_britglish and little_details for all of their help.
