Cousins? Confused much?
Disclaimer:- If I owned this stuff would I be trying to figure out how the heck I'm going to be able to afford Uni fee's next year? I don't think so ….. in other words don't sue …. I may not have money but I do have a lawyer MWAHAHAHA (cough) cousin (cough)
Author Note:- I have no idea where in either series this fits …. Or what Cordy's mums name is …. Or James's family situation …. If I've stolen this from you I apologize if not feel free to use it and give credit where credit is due (that means to me!)
Babette watched her daughters face as the news sank in … she Babette de Beer Chase had been adopted at birth by the de Beer's, her birth parents were dead, as was her twin brother whom they had kept …. All that was left of the family was a teenage boy over in England somewhere ….
Cordy was more than slightly surprised …. More than slightly anything infact …. Three days …. that's how long it was since she was bought out of the coma by the PTB …. Naturally to help Angel stop an apocalypse …. Only to discover the B-word was back in a major way …back in Angel's life and leaving no room for her in it …. But that was to be expected, he had shanshu'd after all …. Spike and Dawn had the vision thing covered …. There was no place for her in their lives …. So she'd put on a brave face …. Said her good bye's and gone back to her parents …. That was probably her first big mistake in a long time , a very long time considering the comatose thing after all … she gets to their new huge house/mansion and her mother drops this bombshell …
There really is a first time for everything Babette decided …. As the one and only Cordelia Chase had no words or this situation …. Her mouth just flapped open and closed, open and closed … Babette waited for Cordy's Queen C attitude to kick in and her to say something along the lines of 'Whatever …. Can I borrow Daddy's credit card and go shopping now?'…. But it never came instead Cordy closed her mouth nodded to herself and said "Well it's a good thing I didn't unpack cos it looks like I'm going to England, can you get Daddy to book me on the next flight direct Mummy because I've a cousin to save" as she walked out of the room, pausing only in the doorway to add, "oh and can Daddy organize me a new set of credit cards before I go? I'll need to redo my wardrobe once I get settled there seeing as I'm not coming back in the near future". It was now Babette's turn to be speechless as her daughter gave her the mega watt smile and said "Thanks … I knew I could count on you Mummy dearest."
Cordelia sighed to herself as she boarded the aircraft … it had taken a week for her Daddy to get her new credit cards and then a one-way ticket direct to London. And she still didn't have a clue where her cousin was, or who he was living with …. You could only get so much information about the English from America …. And it was by no way enough, hopefully once she got to England the blooming PTB would do something useful for a change and message her about the where abouts of her cousin …. Instead of more big bads and demon dudes …. For Christ's sake …. She'd been fighting the good fight since she was sixteen …. That meant five years (I assume you can all count … do the math's) and her reward was what? No soul mate …. Just a half demonness …. A hell-ova-lot of ruined cloths and shoes …. No nights off …. A vampire for a boss who said you were his best friend then drops you after you've been in a coma for ages for him because he's back with his ex who happens to hate you and not be able to see you've changed since high school …. Ok Queen C …. You keep thinking like that and you'll not only cry and ruin your make-up you'll out brood brood-boy….
After taking a deep breath Cordelia sat back and waited for the plane to get to London ….. she'd deal with finding her cousin once they were actually in the same time zone.
Okay that's all for now folks … but as I wait anxiously await my OP and enrolment pack for Uni I fully intend to write more … which I will post as I go …. Same deal as always … you review mine and are logged in at the time I'll return the favour and review any of yours that are in a category I know ….
Luv as always
