"Even I make mistakes sometimes." Willow pouted. Angel looked up at Cordelia, but still spoke. "She is having a vision. The Power’s That Be made her a higher power. It entails that she can do the glowy thingy. You see, to keep having the ability to have visions, she had to take on demon characteristics. So those are her powers. The floating. The glowing. She can heal people, and stuff. Or at least, I think she can." Buffy nodded, and continued to watch Cordelia glow and float. And all the while she wondered how such a bitch could turn into a self-proclaimed saint. The front door opened and closed. Buffy turned her head, and watched as Spike walked in. "Now that’s something you don’t see everyday. Floating super-bitches, " Spike huffed. Tara shrugged. "That’s Cordelia, the saint," Tara whispered. Spike nodded. "I know. Seems hanging out with you guys really does make you turn into a freak. C’mon little bit, let’s see what they got in the fridge." Spike nodded for Dawn to follow him. Dawn giggled and scurried after Spike. Cordelia came down from her floaty voyage. Angel gave Buffy a shocked look. Why was she letting Dawn, a young and impressionable teenager, hang out with Spike? "What’d you see?" Willow asked. Cordelia shivered. "I saw Buffy and she was surrounded by an aura of light. She had a sword in her hand, and blood was running down her arm. She looked like she had had the fight of her life. Then this green blobby thing started to try to kill her. And that’s all I saw." Buffy gulped. "At least I made you have the vision." Willow sheepishly said. Angel stepped in front of Spike. "Oh, no, you are not going to pollute my kitchen with your nasty presence!" Dawn backed away. "What’s wrong, peaches? Afraid that if I stay in your kitchen too long, even it will begin to like me more than it does you? It’s inevitable, everyone eventually gets sick of your brooding, hair gel-wearing ass." "God, we’re really never going to get anything accomplished are we?" Giles tiredly commented. Chapter 2- "We’re going to have to run the streets to see if we can get anymore information," Buffy looked at the faces of her crew. "Cordelia, Willow, and Tara, you guys are going to work on looking up any information you can find. Also, Willow, see you if you can do the inducing visions thing." Willow nodded and pulled out her laptop. "Angel, you and I are going to head out to the sewers. Gunn and Fred, see if you can find the local snitch, and beat him up for information. Xander and Spike--" Xander groaned. "Do I have to work with him, because I have a stake just itching in my pocket to kill him?" Angel grinned. "You’re not the only one," Angel spat. "Shut up you puff." Spike berated. Angel squinted his eyes hatefully at Spike. "Xander and Spike, just do something that looks useful, or else I may have to kill you both!" Buffy screamed. Xander gulped and nodded. "No need to get your pretty little knickers in a twist love," Spike licked his lips. Buffy gave him a tired look. He grinned, his white teeth mocking her. "Not now Spike. I don’t know if I can handle you being in love with me right now." "You don’t know what you’re missing, peaches," Spike whispered to Angel. Angel looked up at Spike. "What are you talking about?" "Buffy. She’s deserves a lot better than you. But you’re the only one she wants, and here you are choosing Cordelia. Cordelia is a nice girl and all, but Buffy’s a nice woman. The best one actually. And you fucked it up. If I was you I would do anything to be with her. But you never wanted the best. You always wanted what nobody else did. Like you were trying to be the rebel in a crowd of rebels. You’re fucking stupid." Spike shook his head and walked away. Angel frowned. He had always despised Spike. But sometimes he was so damn right, that Angel wanted to kill him. When Angel looked up he saw Buffy staring at him. He looked away. She resembled everything that he couldn’t have. "I guess we’re going to the sewers," she solemnly stated, holding her axe awkwardly in her hand. She walked slowly away. Cordelia grabbed Angel’s hand before he left after Buffy. "I want you to know that I love you. I really do. Whatever happens, just know that." Chapter 3- "Well, that was really eventful." Angel shrugged. "The mice seemed to like it." Buffy gave Angel a smirk. Next Part
