Title: The Promised One(until I come up with a better one)
Author: ElvenNight
Summary: It's getting close to the anniversary of Doyle's death. Cordelia gets a vision of a woman in Sunnydale, so Angel, Wesley, and Cordy go on a little trip. When they get to Sunnydale, they find that the woman is tied to Spike and Angels pasts. And a prophecy about a battle involving Doyle gets everyone confused. Also, an old enemy of Spike and Angel returns...
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognize from Angel and Buffy. They belong to Joss Wheden and David Greenwalt. Don't sue. You wouldn't get much anyway....
Authors Note: Okay, a few things to keep in mind. I can't keep people in character. Also, Buffy and Angel aren't as awkward around each other as they should be. This is set sometime..... I don't know. After the whole thing with Glory. Buffy doesn't act like she's really still dead.... Spike loves her still.... there is no Conner. I have nothing against him really, he's just not here. I'm mad that Joss actually got rid of him..... Anywayz, enjoy! And please R&R!

Tap, tap, tap! Cordelia Chase sat at her desk and tapped her pen to a beat only she could distinguish. She stared blankly at the computer screen in front of her. Finally, she sighed.
"What exactly am I looking for again?" she asked her boss, Wesley Windham- Pryce.
"The bar Cordelia! The one in your vision! Remember?" He sounded exasperated. Cordelia had had a vision of a human sacrifice to a demon god in the basement of a bar called "Sorket." Cordelia was searching the internet and Wesley was searching the phone books. Angel and Gunn were looking in the demon world for information. Fred was, as always, in her room. They had until 10:00 that night. It was now 9:30pm.
"Right," Cordy sighed. She shook her head. "We're getting nowhere." She scrolled down a little on the screen. "I mean, I'm never going to fi- Hey! Sorket! I found it!"
Just then Angel and Gunn came through the door. Cordelia turned to them, excited. "Perfect timing you guys! I found it!"
"So did we. Stopped a big, ugly, demon thing from sacrificing a group of teens," Gunn said. He chuckled. "One of the girls tried to hit on Angel."
Angel cleared his throat. He looked at Cordy, whose expression showed she was disappointed. "Good work though."
"Yeah, but a whole lot of good it did," she muttered. She stretched and turned off her computer. She yawned. "Are we done here? Because I want to go home."
Angel crossed the floor, walking to her desk. "Actually, we are." He smiled gently. "See you in the morning?"
Cordy yawned again. "Yeah." She groaned. "Oh, man, I have a major headach-" She cut off as pain slammed into her head and a vision racked her body for the second time that night. When it was over, she found herself on the couch, Wesley, Gunn, and Angel surrounding her.
"What did you see?" Angel asked softly, handing her a glass of water.
"Ummm... a girl- no woman- in Sunnydale," Cordelia replied, taking a sip from the glass
of water. She set it on the table beside the couch and sat up.
"Was she in trouble?" Wesley asked her.
"Of course she was in trouble, English. That's why Cordy got the vision," Gunn said. He looked to Cordy. "Right?"
Cordelia shook her head, then winced at the pain that motion called. "No, she- she wasn't in trouble. But, I know we have to go to her. I felt it was important that we met her."
Angel stood up from his position from beside Cordy. "Alright. We should get packed and go tonight." He looked at Wesley. "Right?"
"Yes- yes of course. Ummm... Gunn and Fred should be able to handle things here for a few days. Angel, Cordelia, and I will go to Sunnydale and find this girl," Wesley replied.
"Alright, I'm gonna go pack," Cordy said, standing up and walking toward the door. Wesley followed.
"I'll tell Buffy we're coming." Angel walked over to his office.
"See you in a few!" Cordy and Wesley disappeared out the door.
"I'm gonna go tell Fred," Gunn walked upstairs. Angel said nothing, just nodded as he dialed Buffy's number in the phone. He had a feeling there was something bigger at work here, but stopped his train of thought as Buffy picked up.
